75 thousand downloads...104 creations

Excuse me as I cry!!

I just typed a big long post and it was deleted....

Anyway... Yay me, I have reached 75 downloads and 104 creations! Its a mini milestone for me... next to achieve is 100,000 downloads.. Eeeeeeehhhh (High Pitched Scream) this would be exciting... thanks again to all the lovely downloaders who love my creations... I hope anyway!!

Now, i had a realisation the other day when I went on a downloading spree...

I always felt down when I didnt get any comments, feedback or even "thank the artist" from all you downloaders. I loved getting nice sentences telling me what they loved about my creations and a thankyou, but these got shorter to just "cool" etc. which I felt was a real downer that people cant spend a tad extra time to say thanks, this looks great!! or more..

anyway, on my spree I finally decided to go check out my download history to start leaving my comments... well I was completely overwhelmed with downloads that as I went alone I was leaving shorter and shorter comments, or not at all, just leaving a "thank the artist"

Aaaaahhhh - too much, so I learnt my lesson, and you know what, it is nice to comment peoples creation and put thought into each one. Also I find that when they do leave me comments, i click on their name to comment back and say thank you, but it just bounces back to the home page... Grrrr... this is frustrating!!

Anyway, check out my bikini, its not downloading as much as my other creations, which may be due to the fact that it is a bit out there, or the fact that the picture sucks

Thank you

I would like to thank all the artists and TSR for the awesome job done with content and for the ease of download and use. This is my favorite site for Sims stuff. Kudos to every one of you.

My next project is...

...the Key West style cottage! The exterior is completed and furniture placement has been determined, now all that's left to do is chose my colors, patterns and furniture styles.  I was hoping to have it completed by Thanksgiving but since that is only a little over a week away it doesn't look like I'll be ready.  It usually takes me a week just to do the screens and write the description.  Can you believe it...just five weeks till Christmas!  So little time so much to do!

Anyway, here are a couple of preview pictures.  I haven't chosen a name yet so if you want, please feel free to leave a comment about your choice.  My top choices are:

• Canary Cottage (because the house is yellow)
• Conch House (because of the style of architecture)
• Key Wester or Key West Cottage
• Bahama Breeze (because conch style architecture is typically found in tropical climates, especially in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys.)

Happy Simming!

A story with meaning :)

Hey guys,

             Just wanted to let you know that I have submitted a (one off) story that is based the last few years of my life. I am doing it to raise awareness of the different illnesses that I suffer from.

After the initial submission, it was rejected but I have fixed it up and I re-submitted it two days ago so hopefully it will be out in no time.

I decided to set it up as a mis between a talk show and a 'This is your life' kinda thing, something a bit different. I hope no one else has ever done anything like this on TSR. :)

'Apple' is just taking a rest while I figure out where I want the story to go next. I will work on part five this week.

Thanks to everyone who reads, enjoys, rates and comments on 'Apple' and I hope you will also like my new story - even if it is VERY different.

Cheers :)

Thank you!!

To all of you who leave a comment on my creations and don't get an answer of me on your guestbook: Sorry for that! I appreciate every comment so much! Your feedback counts a lot for me!

And so I want to say a big thank you in this way to all of you who appreciate me and my downloads in any kind:

• bookmark me
  
• download my creations
  
• thank an item
  
• post a comment
  
• sign my guestbook
• write a pm to me
• ...
  

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Uninstalling Sims 2 :-/

I must say, I never thought I'd see the day I would consider uninstalling the Sims 2 for good :-/ Since purchasing the Sims 3 (for the second time) a few weeks ago and downloading plenty of custom content for it, I have had so much fun with it. I have written my first Sims 3 story which came out almost a week ago (A Night to Remember - thank you to all those who read, rated and commented on it!) and I can see myself writing many more stories with it. I am currently writing another Sims 2 story at the moment because I have had this storyline in mind since before I finished Learning to Love. It is called My Own... and the first part should be out very soon if you want to keep an eye out for it! ;-)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is that after I finish this current story, I am considering unistalling the Sims 2 for good as I don't think I will play it anymore and it will free a great deal of space from my computer (I have about 8GB worth of custom content for it!). Has anyone who bought the Sims 3, uninstalled Sims 2 and regretted it? Or is it a good idea? I would love to hear your thoughts!!

New lot ..... Hmmm I wonder who it is named after?!

Check it out on my 'Upcoming Pod' ..... release date Nov. 16th

My Total 200,000 Downloads !

Finally 200,000 Downloads!

That's amazing! I'm very happy. Thank you.

Chic Tiles Revisited

After a good idea and request from keedyboo18, I decided to create another set of tiles, this time in marble. They are the exact same shape and style as the original Chic Tiles, only changed to be marble instead of plain stone.

There are 4 pieces in the set: Large Square, Large Rectangle, Medium Square and Medium Rectangle. They are great to mix and match together to create interesting looks!

They are being published tomorrow!

Update!

Sorry it has been so long since I have uploaded anything!  Things have been busy here and I haven't had a lot of time for building.  I just finished one that will hopefully be finished soon and I have started another one.  Thanks for your patience and happy simming to all!!
