Ha thanks Martoele for bringing my attention to the enable comments check box above the writing section. Completely did not notice that before.
So just an update on what I said previous, About custom homes that will go up. So I got a job now cutting fabrics and such at a store so I have less time for sims. But. I have also gotten distracted by creating my perfect town and so it is how I want it, I'm slowly getting rid of families and replacing them with others. It is a bit of a pain and I can't get all the CC I want because a lot of it is subscriber only but perhaps now that I have a job I can subscribe for a bit and get all my dream stuff.
The good news, today I have put some time away to build some homes and I will put them up at some point even though I have no idea how because they will be my first uploads so be patient with me.
anyways thats all for now ciao
300.000 Downloads
I just realised that I´ve got more than 300.000 downloads. That´s just crazy! Thank you so much you guys. And I should probably say that I´m sorry I don´t update that often. Not saying it´s a good excuse but I´m rather busy with school and stuff. I´m trying to make stuff as often as I can.
Thank you :)

Reflet
The program I used to make the reflection picture in the previous blogpost is called Reflet. You can download it from here and it's very easy to use. Here is another example, I have resized the picture and cropped it to make it more rectangular. Then I added the reflection and made it just 50% of the height. Not 90% as in the previous picture.

This makes the picture not so large in height.
Finally submitting the second part to the Dark Night series :)
I will also be starting a new series called Decadence and Corruption so keep you eyes on my profile :)
Ps. how do I put my story on my mini site :)
Feb. 14th, Vanity Fair IV
Vanity Fair Part IV is in response to a request for a mirror (similar to the Vanity Fair Dresser Mirror) that can be positioned over a fireplace. A simple request, but I did not know if they wanted a 1 or 2-tile fireplace mirror—so I created both!
When I received the request, I was working on a 2x1 bookcase for Sims 3; I had just completed the bookcase mesh and textured it, when I discovered bookcases cannot be cloned yet—eek! Oh well, I thought, I'll just wait and release the bookcase at a later date, but often I forget about projects, and they never see the light of day again—oh, the joys of getting older!
A much better idea is to bundled the bookcase in with the fireplace mirrors and make it a set! Although the bookcase is purely decorative, I think it will look good in a contemporary or vintage setting. In the future, when working bookcases are possible, I hope someone will remind me to update the Vanity Fair Bookcase from decorative to a working.
Take Care and Happy Simming,
Carolyn

From the Stars - In portuguese

Hi everyone!
For those who did not understand very well the poem, here it is in portuguese!
I hope this time you like!
Xoxo xD
Cátia*

Das estrelas não sei nada,
Sei apenas que lá estão.
Ardem de amor por alguém?
Sentem febres, solidão?

Viajariam, se pudessem,
como fazem os cometas?
Sentem-se mães dos planetas
sem nunca os poderem tocar?

Conseguem ver-me de longe,
perguntam às outras quem sou?

Ou no céu apenas estão
esperando quem as guarde
no fundo do coração?

Bred in captivity
I do love the new aquarium featured in the "High End Loft Stuff" pack. In fact, it's probably the major reason I shelled out the cash for that particular disk.
But little did I know the surprises it had in store for us!
When my sim returned from her trip to Champs Les Sims, she decided to put some of her frogs and snails into the aquarium. I think it was 2 frogs and 3 snails. I made her feed them every day, however some days I did forget and eventually the poor wee things started to die off. After she had disposed of 3 or 4 of them, I decided to click the "manage" button on the tank to see what was left in there. Imagine my surprise when it told me that there was a frog and 5 snails!
I clicked on the frog and it said that it had been caught by Amethyst Legend. Cool, that's what I would have expected.
I clicked on a snail and it said that it had been "bred in captivity". Now, that WAS a surprise! It seems that, in an aquarium, snails bred like rabbits! Not sure if it works with any other fish as I haven't tried it. If it does, it could mean no more endless fishing for deathfish. Just catch 2 or 3 and watch them multiply :D
