Somewhat Lacking

Hey people.  Maybe you've noticed that I haven't been doing much lately.  I've been ridiculously busy.  Real life has finally caught up to me, I think.  I got a part time job, so that's been taking up any extra time.  Then, I'm finishing up my senior year, so I've had so many different things every day.  Today was my last day of high school!  With that said, I'll definitely have more time to create and make up for my lack of recent creations....

I hope you're as excited about this summer as I am!

P.S. Shortest blog ever, right?

TS2 and TS3 News

Well glory be! I have finally gotten all caught up on my comments from you absolutely WONDERFUL people! :D Didn't I tell you I wouldn't erase any and would answer all of them personally? Hmmm? Well there you go then! All kidding aside sim lovers, thank you very much for so many fantastic comments! They sure do make a simmer want to make even more things just to hear from you all. (((Hugs!)))

TS3 News -

Speaking of simming, I have a new mesh set coming out this Thursday. Why this Thursday? Well that is supposed to be the day my divorce is final, so I should have most of the day to answer comments and questions. You know, things like, "What in the heck-over possessed you to make something from Ancient Greece? Is there even an Ancient Greece destination?" Things of that nature. (In answer to the above question, I adore Greece and its amazing history! Not to mention that I've had a few people asking about ancient items that just aren't available anywhere else. So there you go...now don't ask! :P ) The first of the sets is the Living Room. It includes 8 meshes...3 seater sofa, chair, 2 tile coffee table, end table, a large and a small vase, as well as a harp that is actually a radio. (Ok...stereo, but you get the point!). Yes, the harp works, but unfortunately when it is on you still get the air movement caused by the original stereo. It's actually really cool looking. LOL! Hope you re-creators out there enjoy it. ;)

As for lots...I have plans on creating a large mansion/chateau type lot as well as a smaller family type lot. So be on the lookout for those when they are complete.

TS2 News -

So, you thought I'd all but given up on TS2? Bah! I guess you didn't realize how big a building addict I actually am, did you? LOL! I have plans on creating a "Garden Set". These will be lots centered around a garden/landscape scheme, and hopefully will make you all want to go out and garden...er, with your simmies that is. ;) Don't panic. The plants I want to include are "maintenance free" and will not require gardener care. I also intend to use Uni/NL/OFB/SEAS/BV. Just a heads up before they come out. Keep your eyes peeled and hopefully they won't disappoint.

Well, that's all for now, and thank you ALL for being so patient while I got this divorce and relocation with my 5 year old settled a little. It's still going to be a month or so before I can be back to (mostly) normal, but at least you know what's coming up! Thanks again for your patience, and for letting me play with meshes for a bit! I do LOVE meshing, but my first love will always be building and decorating simmie homes. Ta for now!

Love and hugs,
Illiana

Dress Up Tees

Here is the first installment in a group of Dress Up Tees I'll be doing for boys and girls.  I've only got the first boys set done, but I love the way it came out.  Let me know what you think!

Wheee! Quality sims 2 mesh!!

Yes! I spent a year (I know, I'm crazy;) trying to create it.... and I made it! These are the dresses, which will be published with my mesh:

Cornucopia World

I've downloaded a world from the official Exchange site. It's the most recommended world since the CAW tool came out. It is a complete world called Cornucopia and was made by Shalua. She will make more worlds during the summer vacation. It's a great world. In the 3rd part of my story The Hunter Twins Travelling you will see screenshot of it. But today it gave me another big surprise. I started that world from zero in order to try something out. I put someone in a cheap unfurnished house and when I started, a message came up asking if I wanted to accept a challenge with the house. I accepted but my test Sim didn't like that at all because there was so much dirt and even rats running out of the dirt. Perhaps the world offers more challenges. It i really worthy to download it. I do strongly recommend it.

Goodbye TSR...

I´m leaving TSR.....

For a couple of days.. :D Since I´m going away to my beloved Summerplace and there´s no Internet Conntection there, so can´t I log in here... But I´ll be back next week! With new creation in my hand and lots of fun... :D For now, enjoy my upcoming sim set, Vintage Girls!

Catching up...

It has been just over a year since I moved and I finally redid my computer a few months ago too. I've started playing the TSR Challenges again to get back into the swing of things.

I'm disappointed that to play Sims 3 I would need to buy *another* new computer... I had to do that to get to play Sims 2. So for the current time being there is not Sims 3 in my future.

I have no clue where the disc for the graphics editing program I was using to make objects ended up. At this point I would have to almost completely start learning all over again. I'm undecided on that until the disc comes to light.

QUADRO BATHROOM UPDATE

I have updated sinks and the cabinet from the Quadro Bathroom. I fixed all the existing slots (no more floating objects) and also added some new ones. Hope you will enjoy it.

You can find those objects here

FREE ITEM FOR MAY

This month you can download In Duplo Living! Hope you enjoy it.

Japan

Dear All

In two hours time I'll be on my way to Heathrow Airport with my dad. Why? We're going to Japan! Why? Because I'm going to visit my BFF EVER there!!! It's going to be so much fun! :) We'll land at 09:00 on Friday morning (Japanese time), for me 01:00 in the morning!!! But that doesn't really matter, as my dad and I are going to do lots of stuff (for example look at my old house where we lived in for 3 years). Then of Saturday I'm going to go to my friends house, and we're going to have a sleepover. After that, on Sunday, my dad and I are going to the last bit of sight-seeing, and then on Monday we're travelling back to England. It's going to be SOOOO much fun!!!!!
