Hello fellow TSR's :)

I'm on a custom content creation day, and i'll be making some stuff and hopefully when I find out how, I will add it on here. If not it's to the exchange I go, again.

SimPE seems to not respond every so often, and that sucks but I guess it just doesn't like me. I haven't used it in like over a year, so it's all brand-new stuff again.

I feel the need to create some 'celebrity sims', never tried it before, might post some screenshots if they turn out good, if not then I probably still will if you guys wanna see it, haha.

What a creative day, today will be.

Ta-ra!

Trouble with my patterns?

News postAuthor: tdyanndPublished: Feb 16, 2010Comments: 1

Apparently, there are some issues with the older patterns. If you are having trouble installing ANY of my patterns, please let me know via a comment here or a PM or by signing my guestbook. I went through and downloaded all of my patterns and installed them without issue, but that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. So, please, let me know which one's aren't working for you so I can update them and get them into your game.

Thanks!

The Burb Family

News postAuthor: starknight75Published: Feb 16, 2010Comments: 0

It's been hard deciding which family to write about, mostly because I would prefer to wait until the family is more or less complete--that is, eight members, all established or nearly established in their careers. However, I've decided to just go ahead and introduce them and provide updates here and there as new things come up. So, without further ado, the next family: the Burbs!

It's been a while since I started/played one of the pre-made families, but the Burbs are an okay kind of family. In keeping with the family's details, here's what I came up with so far.

Brad Burb, tired of the hustle and bustle--and never-ending noise--of the city, quit his job and moved his family into Old Town. The house they bought with his severance pay came with twelve plots of ready-to-plant crop-growing land. He had in mind the idea of becoming a sort of gentleman farmer, but realizing that he wasn't really cut out for it, decided to cut the twelve back to six...a much more manageable number. The condition for their moving out of the city, however, was that he would take care of the household while Tiffany worked, so Brad is currently working on building up his cooking skills so they can all enjoy healthy meals.

Tiffany, a little disgruntled at having left the city behind, is adjusting well. The commute's a pain, but the fresh air and the open space has been doing wonders for her health. She's not the trendy ideal of beautiful, but she has the classic (and classy) beauty of one born to it and possessed of a certain kind of self-love--the kind that focuses on maintaining one's health and well-being through eating right and exercising regularly. She's determined to make it to the top of the fashion world...or at least close to it.

Johnny was a little upset about leaving behind his friends in the city. However, he's making the adjustment. He's met a lot of kids his own age, and now that they have a house with a real yard, he and his dog Tucker can run around and play freely. His mother has bought him a turtle that he plays with each morning and feeds each night, and he's getting used to the quiet. His father's cooking, on the other hand...that's going to take some time and much more skill on Brad's part.

Shortly after moving out of the city and into Old Town, the Burbs ran into Tiffany's nephew, Ian, in the Downtown area. Estranged from his parents (Tiffany's sister and brother-in-law), Ian left home and was surviving as a Paparazzi, living at the newspaper he took pictures for. Tiffany promptly took him by the ear, dragged him into a cab, and brought him home. Now eating regularly and with a much more comfortable place to sleep, Ian has now decided to follow in his father's footsteps--estranged they may be, but Ian inherited a certain set of skills that he can't deny--into the Paranormal field.

Although there are a lot of cats and dogs in the neighborhood, Tucker gets lonely during the day while Johnny's at school, so a couple of months after Ian moved in, the Burbs headed into Old Town, where Tiffany bought a female Dalmatian. She promptly named her Dottie (Tiffany, for all her imagination with colors and fabrics, couldn't think of a better name). Now Tucker and Dottie can entertain each other while Johnny's at school...although their wrestling matches seem less play and more like struggles for dominance.

Ian, though happy to have a place to call home, was a little lonely. However, he was fortunate enough to meet a young woman named Willow while visiting the park in the Downtown area. After a whirlwind courtship--she was sort of aggressive, and he was definitely interested--he asked her to marry her, and she agreed. Willow is ready to take the Business world by storm...or the Xtreme circuit...whichever calls to her the loudest.

The Burbs are happy now...but Ian and Willow are waiting for their own bundle of happiness until they're both settled and established in their careers. But if they're not careful, Tucker and Dottie may decide to pre-empt them with a bundle of their own!

That's a rather broad answer

My MAXIS projects for TS2

News postAuthor: hiedibear75Published: Feb 16, 2010Comments: 0

I'm pretty sure that just about everyone who plays & decorates and/or builds any lots for themselves or for uploads has been decorating/building with some MAXIS stuff they liked but while doing so wound up thinking "I wish MAXIS had made _______ ". A bunch of very talented people have made both objects to go with or compliment MAXIS "completer set" "MAXIS add-ons" as well as a few walls. I've got just about everything I could find to go WITH MAXIS but believe it or not I've found a few areas that I wanted more of or to improve in the wall section. It started off with me decorating & using a MAXIS wall that I've now made in more colors.......the original is white paint top 1/2 with wood accents at the top middle & bottom & the bottom 1/2 is painted beige, I've made a BUNCH of new colors of it (changed the bottom color & made the $1)......that one is seemingly becoming a never ending project as I keep coming up with more colors of it I'd like to have for my own game. So recoloring that wall in a rainbow of nice colors is project #1. So then I went & started building again because I wanted a break from making walls, but then I started thinking "darn these are nice tile walls I just wish there was one where tile went all the way up the wall {there are for some walls but not all walls} so now that's MAXIS project #2. There have already been floors made to go with the walls I like by someone else. (Can't remember how to spell their screen-name but it was something like robbynygirl but that may not be 100% right). I liked the Los Pescados Del Mar wall & also liked the atomica walls for bathrooms......but I thought they'd look good TOGETHER & I was right! That was a quick project but project #3 none the less. Then I was building again & while making the 2 story home & while making the hall/stairwell area I was using a paper I like from Seasons when I ended up with "I wish it didn't make that big thick woos strip when the wall is 2 stories tall". So guess what project #4 is? Yup It'll be to make wallpaper sets that will be more usefull when making those 2 story and/or vaulted cielings. So now all I have to do is have my head clear enough to do the uploading process. ;) I can do the image making portion even when I'm pretty tired and/or drugged (pain meds for chronic pain), the Home-Crafter & CleanPak parts take a few more brain cells, & uploading takes more like at least 1/2 of the available brain cells to be working all at once for the uploading to make sure it/they get uploaded correctly.......when I'm too tired or loopy from my meds I've messed up on the uploading process (MY fault NOT TSR's). So I'll get thes all made & done as soon as I can.
