My computer

I have a problem with my computer at the moment, seems like it craches every time i try to put a game on :( I can go on the internet, but if i try to play sims3 or any other game, there are some wierd collors and then a black screen. It tryes to find the problem and try to restore data. I dont know why it does do this. I have been on dell home page to seek the problem, and i am going to call them on monday. But until i have fixed the computer, i cant build any houses to share with you :( I just hope its nothing that cant be fixed, or cost to much.

Tomb Raider theme

Long time, no blog. LOL

Anyhoo, just wanted to give a heads up to all Tomb Raider fans out there. I am currently working on a TR theme for Sims3. This is a rather big theme, as it will include a Lara Croft Sim, clothing from the various games, and Croft Manor as well. While the clothing will be representative of all the games, the Lara Sim and Croft Manor will actually be based on the older games. I have seen a lot of folks doing versions of new Lara and the newer manor, but I think old-school, classic Lara needs some love too. I may try my hand at builing some tombs, and possibly some other characters from the games, but that isn't set in stone yet. Sorry, Angelina Jolie fans, I will not be recreating anything from the movie versions of TR. Once again, there are thousands of Angelina Jolie Sims to found around the internet and I wanted to do something different. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movies. They are part of my DVD collection. But for the purposes of this theme, I am sticking to just the video games.

Clean Re-Install...Whether I Like it or Not....

Grrrrr..... Well...the game was running relatively fine for me lately, and I have been eagerly awaiting Ambitions. I decided to do some maintanence on my computer - to get everything ready. I did a Registry cleaning - but verified that the game and my other applications seemed to be working fine afterwards (the Registry cleaner has some safeguards for that - creates a SafePoint, and saves the old Registry until you tell it that the new one is working right). Then, I defragged my Hard Drive. Finally, I noticed that my Video Card had some new Drivers - so I downloaded them and attepted to install them. I had a #$@!!! of a time getting my Anti-Virus software to shut down completely and not interfere with the installation process! But, finally, after uninstalling and later re-installing my anti-virus software, I had my Video Drivers updated.

Well, I *think* it was due to the problem with the anti-virus software initially screwing up my video driver install, but The Sims 3 stopped working! It said that there was a missing componant or something wasn't being recognized and that I needed to re-install! Now, I was NOT planning to do a clean re-install of the game just for Ambitions...but I guess I sort of have to now. Oh well. I guess it will be good to have a fresh, pristine game to play in. Of course, adding in all the content that I want will be a pain...but then again, I can edit out stuff that I don't really need too. And maybe the tiny glitches I *have* noticed due to bad CC won't be there anymore.

Well, this *should* keep me occupied until Ambitions arrives....

I am moving

I am in the process of moving back to my old hometown after many years away and I am taking the final step this week. Thursday is moving day and all my stuff will be stored in a self-storage for now so there will be no need for unpacking after the move. You have to be grateful for the small things in life. ;-) Anyway, this means no time for meshing until the end of next week.

My Sims 3 Creations Poll

I would first like to thank those that have participated in my Sims 2 Poll.  If I haven't sent a thank you note yet it's because strangely enough I couldn't find you on the site!!

I have laid out my first Sims 3 Creations Poll.  If you've got some free time, I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks in advance

Drib :)

Incentives

I've got 10000 incentives already and more than 1220 downloads! Wouldn't it be a good inspiration? :)

Sneak preview..

While the poll is active this will be my next set... This is just the first mesh.
