Hello!

Hello! This is the first time I writing in this blog, so I have never done it before! I have writing in a blog before on thesims3.com but not on this homepage! I like blogging!:)^^ Hope you enjoy this blog;)! ^^ /MMMM11!

Ballerina 2

This is my second set of ballet outfits. I was delighted when Maxis included ballet as part of FreeTime but disappointed by the extremely limited selection of ballet outfits provided - including only a single tutu! So naturally I felt compelled to create some re-colours of the very cute Maxis FreeTime tutu mesh (I love the lace straps and the rose on the bodice). I have created six new tutus (3 pink, 1 white, 1 black and 1 red) all worn with white ballet tights and classic pale pink pointe ballet slippers with ribbon ties. The later Maxis meshes are less flexible than earlier meshes as far as re-colouring goes, so the basic design of my tutus is the same as the Maxis original i.e. crossover straps at the back and rose embellishment.

All outfits are available for adults and young adults and require FreeTime in order to show up in your game. I have categorised the tutus under both athletic and everyday wear. You need to have them available as athletic wear as the Sims change into athletic wear before using the ballet barre - but bear in mind that you might not want to have a tutu set as your Sim's athletic wear choice if you're planning to have your Sim go jogging or tackle an assault course! I have included a ballerina collection icon with this set - all 14 of my ballet outfits will appear as part of the collection - to enable you to find the outfits more easily in your game.

Amsterdam PG Convention - The First 10 Screens, the Comments

As some of you may have noticed, there are an aweful lot of screenshots with the same sims in them all the time lately...as of this weekend... You are correct. BUT... They are not just any, somebodies Sim. These are the 7 most powerful female Sims around. Therefor we organized a POWER GIRL Convention to be held on different parts of our globe. NOT with just a simple copy or download of that sim we can get everywhere, but with all of the REAL sims together to enjoy each others company, to laugh, learn, and share their experiences. 7 Powergirls from 6 different Countries.

To have more space, I took out the smileys...sorry...

This is the Amsterdam PG Covention.  

1.       Barb & Penelope

Penelope has arrived by train. Fred, Barb and Haagje are delighted to meet up with their friend from Germany! Penelope had a long journey! She's really eager to visit France with the girls!

Fredbrenny: This is such a great opportunity! SimJeanie's Penelope travelled a great deal to meet up with the rest of the gang. So far we have Haagje, Fred, Barb and of course Penelope herself. We would LOVE to have Tessa, by Caridina for instance, to join us!

Caridina: Wow!!! This is a wonderful idéa Tessa will love it, if I can figure out how I do it  

Simsjeanie: Oh, I'm delighted to see Penelope is making friends with the others! Oh, she will enjoy, I'm sure! For weeks she told me she wanted to meet her friends and as I see she's arrived safely ... Have some Riverview Kabinett Auslese, it's stored in the luggage waggon (or so I hope) and get "younger than ever" 

Spitzmagic: way too fun freddiekins 

Martoele: Oh, I wasn't aware that you had started already with those screenies. I've been a few days with the sims2 for a story idea and I see a lot has happened. Great!!!

2. Fred & Penelope

The Power Girls just moved into Sunset Boulevard. Both Pene and Fred love to goof around with the sprinklers. Penelope is going to France tomorrow.

Simsjeanie: Oh no! Now I'm really laughing - she  always  wanted to play with the sprinkler and badbad Jeanie always clicked it away - about 10 to 15 times a day. She looks so happy now ...

Mysteryjack1: Lucky Penelope, getting to go to France...Your sims have a very lovely garden I wish I had the same...

Caridina: Ha!ha! This is wonderful, and Jeanies comment is so funny

3. Penelope & Haagje

The house needs cleaning and Haagje took Penelope to come with her to work on the house. First it's time for coffee and sun basking...

Simsjeanie: Oh, Haagje will find out that Penelope is lazy - she'd done all self-cleaning updates she could do at home so the only cleaning she's doing is wiping the surfaces in the kitchen from time to time. But I see she's feeling at home - Haagje has the same tableware as Penelope ... Oh, what a wonderful spot to sit down and relax - with Haagje in her beautiful home! That's great!

Mangio: wow what a beautiful scene to relax in

Caridina: Lovley pic. The girls have a nice time there in the sun.

4.       Tessa arrives

The power girls are almost complete. I do miss having Veronika Storm here with us...LOL But Penelope and Barb pick up Tessa from the train and welcome her in their home!

Spitzmagic: hahahaha Tessa looks a little afraid of Barb....Now Barb I know you waited for quite sometime to meet Tessa, Take it easy there girl...LOL

Caridina: Ha! ha! ha! I love this idéa  

FreyanSam: She does look a bit frightened  What a fun idea to share your sims!

5.       Barb & Haagje

Barb is tooooo excited because of the house where the Power Girl Convention will take place. Haagje wants to check the kitchen.

Caridina: Oh, look at Barbs face 

Spitzmagic: ROFL....If this is the house I think it is i'm off to get it  

Haagje: Haagje is a control freak, so if you want to enjoy a delicious meal, the kitchen clean and ready for use

FreyanSam: 'Oh, I forgot to.. Please don't look there.' Looks like she is thinking something like that  

Martoele: Hahaha... just reading your own comment on the screenshots, you're already telling a story. 

6. Power Girls

Barb...get yourself a glass and sit with us.... I made this excellent nectar, it is just a wonderful welcome drink!

Caridina: Fantastic

Haagje: The girls do themselves well to nectar, mmm I just grab yourself a glass of wine

Spitzmagic: hahahah, yes we do that that nectar....very much...slurp...

FreyanSam: Sounds delicious, mmm

Martoele: Hey, you should really put another chair there because Cynthia is on her way as well. If she hasn't got a chair she might feel neglected and you know how she reacts now and again.

Fredbrenny: I have to pull up 2 more chairs... Guess who's joining the convention???? Cynthia and VERONIKA Storm!!!

7. The Beginning

We have 1 more room available. ell...Tessa is joining us today. That means we will be 5. Five Power Girls. Did you maybe get a hold of Veronika Storm, Fred, or shall we start without her this weekend? Fred doesn't answer. Fred forgot to invite Veronika.... maybe next time...

Caridina: Tessa is on the train and is so exiting over this meeting with the girls

Mysteryjack1: That would be so cool if Veronika Storm was there  And my Nan's called Tessa 

Haagje: After a good glass of wine are only the good discussions going, but now wait or there are good plans come true

Spitzmagic: Barb gets very excited.....

Midnight222: Oh my ...... LMAO!!

FreyanSam: Hope they'll have a great weekend

Martoele: Oh, I'm afraid that Cynthia won't make it in time.

8.       Tessa & Haagje sparring

They are both equal, but this time Haagje won.

 Simsjeanie: Oh-oh ... The two of them are really good at martial arts! And they do stay friends after the combat?

Martoele: When my Cynthia is there, they all will win because it's been such a long time that she hasn't done anything to keep fit. That's of course because she has no men around the house.  She lost all of her physical skills.   

Caridina: Oooohhhh.... this is so fantastic see all this pics of the girls. I see Tessas little house with the pond there behind them. It is so funny they are good at this both of them!

EleCris: Oh awesome pic Fredbrenny  wow i think i must visit china again to be like Haagje

Haagje: Oh I get it it's full moon.........

FreyanSam: Wow, great picture with the moon in the back

Glamurita84: cool

9.       Tessa's Ghost

Cleopatra... the ghost Tessa brought to the convention...is going down to the kitchen... we were all in bewildered awe... Why not use the stairs?

Spitzmagic: oh that's just to funny, so that is what it's doing. I thought it lost the other half of it's body...

Uniquespecialgirl: bahahaha :L

Martoele: No need of using any stairs! Lol.

Caridina: Ha! ha! That's strange :-) It is her daugther, you know. If you let girls take pics of her it is the "dubble death"

Caridina: Ooooohhhh... I can se the pic Tessa took with her camera on the top of the hill with all the birds in China

Badangel^^^^: Hahaha :-) Looks like Tessa is watching it suffer

10.       Double dead

Cleopatra has no plans to go back to her grave yet... first there is breakfast!

Simsjeanie: :-) Oh no, I never had a clue before what this game can do ...

Martoele: I love Jeanie's reaction on this....

Caridina: Ha! ha! ha! This is so funny. A hungry ghost of a mummy :-) I see you knew it is the double dead.

Badangel^^^^: :-)If I see a ghost-mummy in the kitchen, making breakfast I would probably run away:-)

FreyanSam: And she still has the special 'mummy hand pose', looks funny

It's All Good In The Hood!

Afternoon all!

Just a quick message to say..

..ALL IS WELL!

Infact, its actually better than ever before. Not only did I manage to fix the problem ( turned out to be a dodgy install of the original copy of Sims 2 ), but I have new expansion packs to use:

- Pets

- Nightlife

- Apartment Life

:D

In short, this means I can create even better dorms, houses and new even apartments!

Most importantly, your feedback has been mainly about adding driveways for cars. Well, now I can!

So in the meantime, I'm going to play around with a few new designs, hopefully posting them online in the next few days!

Till next time! Happy Simming!

Commenting the Power Girls' Convention

I was thinking about how difficult it is for the organisers of the world wide Power Girls' Convention to have a look at the comments. By now it's nearly impossible to get an overview of who had commented to what and got back a comment ... So I thought it may be helpful to have the comments together in a blog. I don't know if it will work, but if you don't give it a try you'll never know ...

So this blog is dedicated to the German Convention ...

@ Margo: No, Penelope hasn't got enough room for all of them. At the moment Barb and Fred are sleeping in her four-poster bed and Haagje is sleeping in a quick put up in the same bedroom while Penelope is sleeping in the basement - where usually the awful instrument of torture (for strenght training??) is placed. They have to get a much more spacious house for their convention to feel comfortable when they are all together! And yes, Barb was cleaning up by drinking all the nectar ... *lol*

@ Fred and Barb: I'm rather sure it was no juice - it was the rest of Riverview Kabinett Auslese and Riverview Kabinett. But maybe the last glas was an Alcaseltzer - I'm sure she needed it ... *lol* I'm so sorry, Spitzmagic, that I didn't take better care of Barb but she was so quick!!! Actually she was told to have a nice bubble bath, but she prefered to relax in another way ...

@ Fred: Yes, it's an omniplant feeded with deathfish. As Penelope had lost all her income by her ownerships on the businesses - you know the world wide depression that came with WA (Those guys at EA are so quick - they got rl at once to the game!) - she had to look for some other regular income. She's got the green thumb and her skills about gardening and fishing are up to ten. So she always has four omniplants at her backyard she is feeding with perfect deathfish. She gets 4x4 deathfishs a day, feeds back four of them to the omniplants and so she has a regular income of nearly 9.000 Simoleons a day. Much more she ever can spend! You see, it's always good to trust in yourself instead of trusting in unreliable economy.*miss the smileys at the blog*

The plans for today are: Taking Haagje to the hairdresser, get new tops for the girls to change with the pay-2-get-3, maybe visit the wellness-center and getting a massage of 7.500 Simoleons. I know that sounds somewhat demanding. But I tell you - it's worth each single Simoleon! They'll get +70 moods for 7 days - and they can afford it. If you want to be good to others you have to be good to yourself first ... They have to do a lot of travelling, jet lag and so on, and I will do all I can do to get them in high spirits. 

It would be perfect if we could upload the PG WWC (Power Girls' World Wide Convention) at the storyteller section. The shame is - I'm so addicted to this challenge - I want to put my noise in the different Conventions every day. I want to know what the girls are doing - I want to read it and see it. It's so much fun for me! Having a look at the Storytellers I see that there are submissions day by day now. Perhaps I should give it a try ... The other thing is - it's interesting and a lot of fun for the organisers of PG WWC. But perhaps the other 2.298.120 members of a total of 1.298.127 members of TSR wouldn't appreciate it getting the storyteller partition cluttered up with PG WWC.

So tell me your thoughts about managing this challenge, dear friends!

@ all the TSR members who drop into this blog by coincidence or whatsoever - feel free to leave any comments and having fun, too. It's not a "closed club" and it's not meant to be - far from it! It's just having fun with the community and whoever has fun with this amazing though crazy idea is welcome to share our fun. We all are part of the great TSR community. Perhaps you get an idea of another "community challenge". The only restriction is set by the game itself who allows only eight sims in a household. But I can tell, that's more than enough. It's a lot of fun, but sometimes it's hard work, too. (See poor Barb having all the glasses of nectar because I didn't take care ... ;) As for me I would love to have a look about other "conventions" ...

Brownstone housing on its way....

So I was in NYC this weekend and I was just hanging out when I came across W 88th st. Full of these beautiful brownstones. Even though you could see on the outside the houses were old you knew inside was full of money... not  literally but you could see thru some of the windows all the nice furnishing. Well I took a couple of pictures and decided to make one of these homes for my Sims... I hope you like it should be published in a day or two... :)

Still figthing

 I´m not dead or retired or anything like that, I´m just figthing really hard to get my game working. After reinstalling a couple of times, having patterns as the only CC and still having my computer shutting down, I have decided to uninstall "High end stuff" and see how it goes. I hope I´ll have some lots up pretty soon, but keep your fingers crossed.
