3 New Pattern Sets- Coming Soon!!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have some exciting new pattern sets coming out within the next couple of days! I couldn't sleep last night so I spent 4 hours researching, getting inspired, and working on some brand new patterns. The sets will be: Liberty of London Prints, Civil War Reproduction, and French Country. Keep your eyes peeled for a possible Lilly Pulitzer set in the future as well!

Much love,

Michele

If you all have any requests for pattern sets let me know! 

hmm...maybe i can start a new project for now

i've been having a problem with my project - eyeshadow & eyeliner. my eyeshadow covers any eyeliner over, even eyeliners from EA. i cannot find a solution by myself, i'm a very beginner! maybe for now i can start a new project. i can creat something not eyeshadow. maybe i can learn how to create clothings too. oh but it would be difficult too. hmm...i will try sometime though :) i'll see what project i can start for now till i get the answer to solve the eyeshadow problem. and when i get something nice i will upload it here :) hope i will soon :) if any of you can help me i'd appreciate it. i've put a thread on forum - workshop CAS part.

Sims 3 and Story

This is my first blog! I think that sims is great! Sims 3 is becoming a lot better now that there are expansion packs for. Late night sounds like it is going to make sims 3 even better.

I am writing a new story the first part has already been uploaded. It is called Sims Station. If you know what Big Brother is then you will see that my story is kinda like that. Well that is what I was aiming for anyway! I hope you all enjoy reading it! Please take part in the voting as it will make the story more interesting and alot better. Thank you!

Wow!!

I just can't believe that I got "featured" on my new set "Holbrook Collection"...  I'm very honored to receive such a wonderful "gift"!  Wow! 

I'm really enjoying meshing and creating things that I hope others might enjoy for their Sims...   Meshing for me is like visiting the land of Oz!  I swear I see the Cheshire Cat grinning "evily" at me when I make something that ends up in the trash bin... or the Red Queen screaming "Off with her head"...  lol  

I wanted to thank everyone, again, for taking the time to comment on my creations! Comments of any kind are greatly appreciated, whether good or bad...

Poly is started

My first object in my first set is now released. The Poly Dining Chair. The name of the set is going to be "The Poly Set". The reason of the name "poly" is because all objects in the poly set is going to get a low polycount (very low polycount). I also have a poly fence, but I need to get IQ above 12 before uploading it. :D

Paintings & Prints

Well, some of you may have noticed that I've started to make some painting sets. YAY!

The main reason being, I often couldn't find quite what I was looking for in wall art and so decided it was time to get off my butt and make my own.. lol

Given this is all about me!.... *rolls eyes* My sets will follow a theme... the theme of me! What I want in my game! :D (which can be more commonly be described as beachy, nautical, vintage, period & antique themes... or a combination there of.... maybe with a bit of folk art and Americana thrown in for fun! Hopefully some of you, will have the same eclectic taste as me and will want this stuff too.

How do you make 2 sims pose together

If you have Open For Business, you can use the invisible recolor of the Magisplay tray, to put one of the sims on it, so it they don't snap out weirdly when you are trying to put them too close together. Download the recolor here-

If you don't have OfB (you can still use them if you have it), you can use these-

http://realizeadream.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/sim-poser-omsps-no-ofb-required/

You need to get the BONUS DOWNLOAD at the bottom of the page, if you only want to place sims next to each other on the ground.

SilentLucidity from MTS2, also made some of his/her shiftable OMSPs usable for sims and with them you can put your sims are many different heights-

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=325570

These are all solutions for the snap-to problem that occurs when you try to place two sims too close to each other. I don't know what other "weird stuff" you have happening when you are trying to pose them, so can't really help further. What do you mean by "They'd usually be place right above the Sims"  :-\ ? What exactly is placed above the sims?
Some poses, like one sim holding the other in his/her arms and such, are made to be used with the type of OMSPs i talked about above.

MCP's High Poly List

This information is here so that you can make an informed decision as to what custom content goes into your game. We all know that an object's poly count can effect how the game runs. Some may be able to use the objects listed here with no problems while others experience severe lag or crashing with them. It's all subjective to what kind of computer you have and how it runs the game. Remember, the number of tiles an item is along with it's function in game do matter. A 5k poly deco vase (1 tile) that you use once on a lot may be fine for your computer to handle while a 5k poly counter (1 tile) that you use multiple times on a lot may not be. I've marked the items below as high poly based on the 800-1000 poly per tile Maxis stated long ago as the benchmark.

I've run these files through SimPE's mesh scanner and this is what it spit out at me...

Feel free to add any high poly info you have on custom content. If you list information, make sure it's verified info (ie you ran the mesh through SimPE or another program that will tell you the poly count) because I'd like people to be able to use this list to make an informed decision about what custom content to put in their game. 

Also, be advised that in order to keep the poly count information shared in this thread in an easy to use format any extraneous chatter will be removed. If you want to chatter about the list please do so in this thread. Don't be surprised if you find later that your post is gone.
Just to clarify since it seems some clarity is needed. The above statement means that posts made in this thread will be combined, edited, and/or removed without notice to keep the poly count information here in an easy to browse format. Thank You.
