World Adventures Preview Update...

Preview is tomorrow!!! Have had an update from EA to say that I will get about 5 hours to play. France won't be avaliable and China might not be either. Some people have posted questions for me to answer on Sim Operations so there should be some answers up there tomorrow.

If anyone has any questions they would like answered let me know and I'll do my best!!!

Pattern rescued from the bin

Sometimes I make patterns that I don't like, and I bin them. There, I said it. I am a binner.

Today I was sorting through my TSR file storage, and I found a pattern that I no longer had the files for on my PC. It is a binned pattern. I downloaded it and played with it, trying to work out what was wrong with it. It wrapped perfectly, looked great on cushions, and the palettes were reversible meaning you can get a whole range of different colour effects on it. I admit it, it is beyond me why I ever binned this pattern.

So I have rescued this pattern from the deep, dark, murky depths of the bin, cleaned it off a bit, and now I present it to you. Hope you like it!

Alright!  I'm starting to find my way around this interesting site!

Just can't believe I didn't know about it before and me being such a Sims freak!  Not being able to start collecting expansion packs for the Sims3 - and finding the official Store rather pricey - I was moaning to a friend and she pointed me this way.  A new world opens before me - not to forget new toys to play with - I'm wrestling myself through all the tutorials for the TSR workshop and hanger-on programs - one day I hope to be able to upload my own stuff too :D

*off to do some more exploring*

Just submitted first CC for TS3!!! Griiiiin!!

Yes, I worked it out! FINALLY! Didn't really help that the majority of my day yesterday was taken up by trying to fix TS3 in the first place...still got a load of CC to put back where it was before, but I have more than enough installed to make decent enough Sims to upload for the time being...anyway, here is a preview of my makeup that I have just submitted for review:

It may not look like much compared to other CC that is on the site these days, but for a first attempt, I'm pretty proud of what I achieved!

Please let me know what you think!

Poll Results - Profile Banner

Thank you to everyone who took part in my poll about Profile Banners and how you make them....or if you make them! It was interesting to see what programs people used and whether someone else created their banners for them. I feel a bit left out as it seems I'm the only one using MC Powerpoint. You see I have used this program before for work so I already know how everything works. (Almost everything). Maybe oneday when I have the patience I will give photoshop a try.

Happy Simming and not long now until World Adventures! Yey!

Hello all Don't you just hate it when your PC needs work

I just had to download all my Sims again. Because I had to fix my PC. I just need to buy anoter PC so I don't have my kids on mine to mess it up any more. Ther is a good and an sad side to starting  the game over. If you had to to this befor you know what I mean. Any ways I have some playing to do. Have a great day!

Progress

I managed to get the patterns I wanted on the tablelamp after nearly 20 times, and the workshop crashing several times. There is something not working right with the pattern selecter. Anyway, I finished the lamp so I have 3 objects now and I have started on a roomdivider. But I'm also making some more 'recolors' of paintings in between each object as you might notice in my upcoming pod.

A closeup of the tablelamp with the variations I have in the package.

Expect more painitings too and also new frames in the future.

Night now from

Pod Thanks

Found the prompt to add pods...call it one of my *duh* moments!  Thank you to all who helped!

First Mesh Set

Well I uploaded my first Nursery Mesh Set. I hope everyone likes it.

Fixed it...after six hours...

Fixed TS3...thank god...I can't believe I've been trying to fix it for the past six hours or so. Now, I have to install all of the sims3pack files back to where they were...without Merlin...which is going to take an age, but hey, at least this way, I know my CC is going to work when I boot TS3 up afterwards.

Will try and put back as much of the custom stuff as I can and if I'm not sick and tired of seeing the Launcher screen by then, I may make a Sim or two.

Today has been a very trying day. LOL!
