Spoiling things again!

If you're going to let your garden become completely overgrown, you won't need one of these, but don't throw it away!  lLt it rot and rust in a corner.  Eventually, it will take root and no-one will ever be able to shift it.

Yup, this old mower is my latest instalment for TSR's upcoming garden theme (still needs a bit of texture work, but you get the idea).  It's rather a shame (for TSR) that I got wind of this new theme, for I'm sure they were doing their very best to keep it secret (from me).  After all, they're probably thinking of an oncoming Spring, of beautiful lawns and pretty flowers...

But now I've found out about it, I'm just going to ruin it completely with a pile of junk!

Wedding Venue

Just thought I'd share a few pics of the venue we're looking to hold both the ceremony and reception for our wedding. It's not set in concrete but I think it looks like a nice venue by the river and it's close to where we are so us and the guests don't have to travel for ages to get there.

Sorry the pics are small but I couldn't get them any bigger without them going even more blurrier :-/

First Submission: Detective Mac Taylor

Well, after 9 years of playing Sims, I finally uploaded my first submission: Detective Mac Taylor from CSI:NY. I figured he would be a great addition with the Dynamic DNA Profiler career in Sims3.  He was a little tricky because his eyebrows are so arched, but I think he came out pretty well that if you saw him in game you'd say, "Hey! That's Mac Taylor!". Hope you all like it. Might try to do some other cast members.

Update of Stories.

I have started on College Dreams. I have the beginning of part five uploaded and now I just need to take some more screenshots. I've made it fit into the story of why they'll suddenly be in Sunset Valley instead of Downtown instead of just letting it hang.

Now, about Sarah Daae's Story. I had saved my saved games so I could just put them back in. But TS3 didn't like that, so that means I had to start over again. But I'm glad. The characters look better (except for Erik who is the only one that is exactly the same. Thank god I posted him on here) and I got a chance to add more into the story. I also got a chance to create a very important character.

I have downloaded the custom content I needed, so you shouldn't be able to tell a difference. Except with Sarah's mother, of course. But that doesn't matter. Sarah does not look different to be honest, but then again, nearly all of the kids in TS3 look exactly the same.

But now that I've explained it, and I will explain in the next chapter too, I hope that it means people will not question it and just accept it.

Thanks for reading.

Harmony

My first set of yoga outfits, Unity, has been quite popular so I decided to create a second set. This set comprises four outfits: two with leotards and footless tights and two with Capri pants and tank tops. All outfits have bare feet.

All four outfits are available for adult and young adult females, use a standard Maxis mesh and are base game compatible. They are categorised under gym wear.

My life/Mitt liv/Mein Leben

At first I thought that I could tell you about me. My name is Vanesa, and I come from Sweden. My dad is Irish and my mother is German so-ag, both English, Swedish and German.
I started playing the sims when I was around eight years and appeared to direct the thing to be able to have a dollhouse of your computer. My favorite game of all time is obvious Sims 3rd I would like to have the help of a nice man out there with designing things look better on this page. For example like to do an avatar to my pilot. So they look fine when I upload them.

Först tänkte jag att jag kunde berätta lite om mig. Mitt namn är Vanesa, och jag kommer från sverige. Min pappa är irländare och min mamma är tysk så ag kan både engelska, svenska och tyska.
Jag började spela the sims när jag var runt åtta år och föll direkt för grejen med att kunna ha ett dockskåp i datorn. Mitt favoritspel genom tiderna är självklar The sims 3. Jag skulle gärna vilja ha hjälp av en snygg människa där ute med att designa saker och ting snyggare här på sidan. Skulle till exempel gärna vilja göra en visningsbild till mina lots. Så de ser finare ut när jag laddar upp dem.

Zuerst dachte ich, dass ich Ihnen über mich erzählen könnte. Mein Name ist Vanesa, und ich komme aus Schweden. Mein Vater ist irischer und meine Mutter ist Deutsche, so-ag, sowohl in Englisch, Schwedisch und Deutsch.
Fing ich an den Sims, als ich etwa acht Jahre und schien die Sache direkt an der Lage sein, ein Puppenhaus von Ihrem Computer haben. Meine Lieblings-Spiel aller Zeiten liegt auf der Hand Sims 3. Ich möchte die Hilfe eines netten Menschen da draußen mit der Gestaltung Dinge besser aussehen auf dieser Seite. Zum Beispiel wie einen Avatar zu tun, um mein Pilot. So dass sie gut aussehen, wenn ich sie hochladen.

I'm going to blog for my first time/ Jag ska blogga f�r f�rsta g�ngen/Ich werde Blog zum ersten Mal

I will be blogging in three languages

Ich werde zum ersten Mal Blog, und ich frage mich, ob es jemanden gibt, mich mit meinen Uploads helfen könnte. Möchte, dass ich meine Sachen jetzt mehr attraktiv sein. In allen Fällen das Auftreten von Aufladen.

Jag ska blogga för första gången och jag undrar om det är någon som skulle kunna hjälpa mig med mina uppladningar. Skulle vilja att jag fick mina saker att bli snyggare. I alla fall utseendet på uppladningarna.

I will blog for the first time and I wonder if there is anyone who could help me with my uppladningar. Would like that I got my things to be more attractive. In all cases, the appearance of uppladningarna.

The Miller Family

Neither Lionel nor Jason left the Silver home, so the next son who left would be Harrison.  He moved into the Talbot home, so now I extend outward from the Talbot household via one of their member's ex-husband into the Miller household.

Donald, Toby, and Jefferson Miller moved into Old Town to get away from their domineering father and their repulsive step-mother:  though they all had the same father, they all had different mothers, and the woman who was their current step-mother had no blood connection to any of them, so they felt no reluctance in parting ways with them.  Old Town offered a good chance to start all over.  Despite their different mothers, the three half-brothers got along well with each other, so they decided to pool their funds, share a house, and stick together.

Donald, the oldest, has their father's bright red hair but his mother's personality.  He also shares her love of learning and her intellect.  Combined with his father's drive for success, he made it through high school and graduated two years ahead of the rest of his age group, and breezed through college.  Now he works as a Theorist--not a well-paying job, but the one best suited to his skills and abilities.  Despite that, he is friendly and outgoing, and has no problem setting aside his studies for socializing.  Of course, all of his friends are Theorists like him, so they always have new things to talk about.

Toby has his mother's looks and personality.  Other than his father's eyes, there's nothing of the old man in him.  Certainly, he didn't inherit his paranormal abilities from the unimaginitive, unromantic old man.  As an Exorcist, he brings in the second highest salary in the household, more than older brother.  Still, he envies Donald for his shorter work hours and that his brother can do most of his work sitting and reading and writing while he exhausts his internal and mental strength driving out rogue spirits.

Jefferson has deeply tanned skin and blond hair...go figure.  His exotic looks comes from his mother (skin color) and his maternal grandfather (hair).  His talents, his mother told him, come from his maternal grandmother.  Skilled in performance music and blessed with a terrific voice, from his father he draws showmanship and charisma, making him a popular Rock Star.  Although a solo act, he has collaborated with many of the other Rock Stars in Old Town.

Chester was a party-hearty Townie when the Millers met him Downtown.  The problem was that he was a party-hearty Townie who worked daytime in politics, and his wild lifestyle was takin a toll on his career.  The Millers took him home one night after he passed out drunk.  Despite his love of partying, he knew he had to do something and asked if he could move out of the Downtown area and in with them.  Friendly and supportive, they agreed, and Chester moved in.  With their assistance, he sobered up, quit drinking, and managed to rise to become a Judge.  However, he became fed up with dealing with other people's civil and criminal problems and decided to change careers.  He hasn't yet decided what he wants to do now, though he feels the business path might be the best.

Eric Jones, who went prematurely white, visited his brother in Old Town after he graduated from college.  Looking for a place to stay--his brother's house was completely full--he met the Millers, who had just moved into a new house and had room to spare.  He moved in and began practicing his craft--cooking.  After studying and experimenting--and alternately astounding the Millers with terrific food and scaring them with strange exotic dishes--he entered the culinary field full time.  It didn't take long for him to become a Celebrity Chef whose particular strong point was creating and recreating strange exotic dishes...which he continues to torture his family with, even if the food does taste good.

Aaron Generic arrived in town to visit his three half-sisters and thought to move in with them, but rather than be outnumbered by them in any family discussions--which he remembered had happened often enough--he met with and moved in with the Millers instead.  Strong and athletic, Aaron started off as a mascot but quickly made his way to the top of the team.  An injury sidelined him...permanently.  Still, with his knowledge and skill, he was able to get a job as a coach.  He'll never play in any sports professionally, but he is able to do enough to stay in shape and still get paid.

Hector and his son Randy moved to Old Town after his divorce from his wife, Misty.  The divorce, because he had admitted to preferring men to women, was to set her free.  While in the Downtown area he met Chester.  Chester, who shared his preferences, fell in love with Hector and vice-versa.  In short order Hector and Randy moved in with the rest of the Miller family.  Happy, Hector has begun looking at Xtreme professions with an eye towards becoming a Grand Prix Driver.

Randy has no problem with his father loving another man.  He's too busy adjusting to having six new uncles where before he only had two whom he rarely saw.  With all the different interests and professions in the household, however, he's been doing amazingly well in school in all subjects, even those he was weakest at--PE and Science.

A long entry, but it's a big family with far-reaching connections throughout Old Town.  How far? Well, wait and see.

Garden Junk!

The Never-Ending Windows are going to be a tad delayed due to a Workshop problem that has stopped windows working correctly, but at least that gives more time for people to respond to the poll about whether to include diagonal versions.  Right now, it's an even contest and it looks highly likely that I'll make a separate set of the diagonals once Workshop is repaired.  Thanks for your input on this.

With windows on the back-burner, I have turned my attention to junk (again).  I've had lots of requests for my usual junk: tyres, supermarket trolleys, petrol pumps, rooftop junk and posters have all been levelled at me, and they will all be done in good time.  I've also received requests for NICE things (like round walls).  These will also be done but we won't talk about that NOW because this is Junk Time!

Here's a sneak preview of the Garden Junk set.  There's still much for me to do yet but some tyres and an old water pump are already complete.  All will work in both clean and grungy colours, so any of you who like to keep your game NICE (do seek therapy for that) won't be disappointed.  EDIT: supermarket trolley now complete too!

Meanwhile, a surprise fix in a new beta Workshop has meant that my long-delayed Broken Toilets set can now be prepped for publication!!!   I've made toilet paper litter for the floor, and Sims need to be able to walk over this without it impeding their way.  After trying a raft of options like ceiling objects and even a child's toy, it soon became clear that the only decorative object that could be walked on and which didn't mind being indoors or out (and could be placed on counter-tops too) were the 'clutter magazines'.  But these could not be used until now.  My nasty bit of litter is now made and finally in my game, which is great news for a burgeoning "Factory" bathroom set!

Before I release the set, I'm adding a couple of pretty little decorative items like this hand dryer.  Naturally, it doesn't DO anything; nothing I make does anything so you're likely very used to that by now.  The colour variation pictured is the grubby version (quite tame by my standards)!  A nice, shiny version is also included, though quite why you'd want a CLEAN version is beyond me!
