So I was starting on a Drive in ended up at a Motel

So I began to build a Drive in lot... but wanted to make a really good one in the process of getting frustrated I decided to start on another lot so I began to build a Motel because I have a few Sims that need a place to go when cheating on a partner so they dont get caught... haha

Well just finished on Motel should be published in a couple of days

Request Something!

Hey fellow Simmers,

I'm aware that there's a forum topic for this, but not all users access the forum, and I'm always open to new challenges to keep me on my toes. I can create Sims, Lots, and Wall Art for now, but that's all subject to change as I continue to learn more about TSR Workshop. As I say on my profile, I'm not a professional and I construct Sims Objects for fun and a creativity boost, but I also like knowing that others get what they want for their games. So, with that in mind, if you want to request something, leave some information for me!

When you're requesting, please understand that I'll need time to construct your request and may have to get back to you with any questions/comments/concerns I may have regarding your request. Please note that I will try to get back to you about any of the above within twenty-four (24) hours after your request was posted. Lots, depending on specificity, lot size, and furnishing, can take anywhere from two (2) hours to two (2) weeks. Sims and Wall Art are more around three (3) hours to forty-eight (48) hours. Thanks for the understanding.

Three patterns coming up (I hope)

I had to admit that the patterns I uploaded before didn't work anymore - so I threw in the towel and went browsing some more tutorials.  I found Sinastra's one, and what do you know!  It worked!  Three of the 'old' patterns have been reworked, screenshots added and - with crossed fingers - have been submitted.  Now we just have to wait to see what comes of it... and what you guys think of it too of course.  They're batik patterns I used to make say, about 30 odd years ago.  Very quick and easy way to brighten up dull run-of-the-mill t-shirts :D

I wonder if I can cross-reference to my Facebook photo album here for previews.  I can hardly dump them all in my screenshots.

Thank You So Much My Followers!

Hello!

Thank you so much for your downloads, comments and page views! You make me very happy! I feel so emotional! Cause I really like creating and now I have lots of sweet followers! Thank you so much again!

Hello everyone!

Now I do nothing! Hehe;)

I'm A Goofball

I'm such a goofball. You see this is how it all began. I bought Sims 2 University Colletion with IKEA stuff, and Teen Style Stuff. Okay so I bought this I would say a month ago at the beginning of February.And I've been playing every since then. Okay this is where it all began, my computer recently crashed. And so I had to install all my custom content over. And trust me that is the most toughest J-O-B in the world. I'm still downloading. I had over 5000 files of it. And only 2000 now that I've found and not of the same stuff (this is where I cry!). But anyways back to the story. So I found out that I couldn't install the sims2pak files. And I was really upset because that's how I get my lots and things of that nature. I was like stab myself in the eye mad. Literally. So I've been looking all over the internet world looking for patches and updates and things like that. Because I still don't have half of those updates for my pc that went missing after it "mysteriously" crashed! Then after the patches and updates supposedly said they worked (the ones I did find) I triied to change the way the sims2pak files upload. Like that button open with that appears when you right click a file. The crap kept opening in wordpad. Don't ask. So back to the story. I decided to reinstall all my sims 2 games. Which luckily I only had two. Univeristy and Double Deluxe. And that's the good part because my crazy pc wouldn't even recognize the 4000MB file as anything. Saying it wasn't installed in the computer when I sat and watch it do so (University). Well during installation it asks which files do I want to download (the collection one!). The stuff packs or University instead. And of course I picked everything but the Sims 2 Store Edition that was included with the University Collection. Now I decided that since this was the second time and since I didn't install it in the first place might as well now. So, and sorry I say "So" a lot. But anyways, when I did finally finish installing everything I started up my game. And the weirdest thing happened. At first when it came to the loading page it said University Collection. But this time it said IKEA Home Stuff. And I was like YEA! And then I was going in to make a profile pic for my TSR page since I've never updated (loser!). And I saw that the sims 2 store addition allowed me to put body piercings on my sim. And I was like WHOA! And that brings me all the way back to the beginning of being such a goofball. I should have installed the Sims 2 Store Edition even though I had the basegame. And now I figured out that I could nstal sims2pak files now! The patch I found on sims 2.com really helped. And so I changed all my files back to the bodyshop package installer. And voila there it is. Moral of the story, you can never have too much of one thing. Especially when it comes to sims2. I mean the whole sims 2 store edition thing.

You know it added another little thingy on my game launch thing. The sims 2 store edition button. That's o_O.

I feel so much better now. And if your eyes are hurting for reading or even looking at such a LONG passage I am terribly sorry.

But if you have any custom content please comment. Its so much easier looking for things that way. Or I could just check out my download history and that has over 1000 items (lol.) But yea, Bye.

I've to get packing, I only have today and tomorrow left

Hasta Pronto, Adios

My first Legacy challenge - the Lakeman family!

I'd heard about the legacy challenge before, but had never tried one because I didn't know exactly what the rules were.  Well...today I found out :)

I also learned a few things about TS3 gameplay in general.  For instance:

...thanks to community gardens, since Max Lakeman has a job, a fridge qualifies as a "luxury item."

Showers are another matter, however.

Power Girls Convention Spain

This is the most wonderful thing that we are doing. I admire Fred, Barb, Sonja and Jeanie that they can get along with it so fast. I must admit that I have some more shots but this takes all my energy from me. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit more to see my results. Sorry girls. Perhaps in a few days I can pick it up again. For the moment, I have to focus on my work because this week I have to do some excursions and that work means about 10 or 11 hours on the road. Then I will really be too tired to even start the game.

Ooooh - what does this button do?

Usually, I'm the kind of person that reads the manual first and then tries to figure things out. Problem is, I don't seem to be able to track down proper manuals for all those 3D programs we need to make 'proper' stuff for TSR.  Recolouring is nice, but sometimes I would like to make things from scratch.  Frustrating, to say the least :P  I made a maxi-skirt  and it looks quite nice, but when the Sim runs, it looks like those 70's bellbottom flaired trousers (yes, I did wear them in that day and age and yes, that kind of custardy yellow - the batiks were used in t-shirts, mostly :D) so I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong there.

Patterns - another thing, I made a few, but I'm still not satisfied.  Redo from start that one... 

Another project were curtains.  The weird thing is that they look good in the download, but the moment you place them in a lot and want to save the pattern/recolour them, the pattern is gone and you have just a grey blob O.o  I noticed that with some stuff too that the moment it goes in your storage (when you move for example) it reverts to its original product.

All in all, lots to learn still :D  I'm starting now with a little 10-hour crash course on CS3.  Going to check the net for some weblearning too - I heard about AutoCAD, maybe I can try that ;)  Like my grandma always said:"You have to keep on learning your whole life long, otherwise your brain dies off!" ;)
