Size is everything!

Well, often, that phrase is a lot of stuff and nonsense and there is too much silly pap about size in all sorts of things!

But bigger is NOT better when it comes to Sims 3 content file sizes!  If you've downloaded my latest set: Cubit Windows (pictured left), you'll see that the file sizes are now tiny, thanks to the latest Workshop version!

So my NEXT priority is to resize my last set, the Colonial windows.  I'm already a quarter of the way through this process, and I hope by the time I've finished it that the finishing touches to TSR's new 'updates' feature will be working (downloaders will be notified automatically of updates).

Update: all windows, the beer keg and the oil drum are fully resized - a big improvement!  I'm now awaiting some technical help to upload them - so everything should be with you shortly!

Life according to me vers 2 :(

Well I just had one of the longest nights ever with a very sick little dog. She´s had bloody diarrhea and vomiting all night and I was so worried that it was parvo. I just came back from the vet and it´s not (doing a little happy dance) it´s some kind of stress related food intolerance thing and she should be fine in a couple of days. It fits okay because I picked her up at the kennel thursday, I had a 3 day trip to Hungary (work), so a lot of stress and new food. It was actually the second time this month I had to drop her of at the kennel. On top of that we where at the vet last week for a scan, no puppies :(.

I had 2 birthday parties last weekend and to make things even more fun I have another 3 day trip with work in 2 weeks, but then I´ll take a week of. I do hope that I´ll get room for some simming this weekend, but we´ll see.

Edit October 2. I´m on a roll here. After a control scan to make absolutely sure that there is no puppies, my dog has decided that there is - hurrah for false pregnancy!!!

Hols Today Yay!

Off on my hols today..gonna be gone for a week..and I really hope the weather holds up. I'm really going to miss the Sims, but I'm going to take a pad of paper and hopefully pick up some inspiration for some houses to build when i get back..maybe even upload them this time. There's going to be some interesting architecture to look at especially for beach lots and period properties. I'm definately hoping to see some big old country houses and some Edwardian and Georgian houses as well as cute little beach huts. Hope you all enjoy your sims this week coming and I can't wait to get back into it next weekend.

New Lots and a lil small town humor

  Ok I sit at my desk playing my new sims 3,and then it occurs to me as I am looking at edit town that this is the first sims game that will not let you add new lots,and design your own town.So I go to forums and can't find anything,while getting frustrated I ask ea about it.Anyway long story short and with no answer where theres a will theres a way and a bulldozer lol.I do hope in the new expansion that is comming that they will put that back in for us simmers who have our own style.I love to build and create my own homes,much like the homes dotting the streets in Iowa middle america suburbia.I want my sims to live in great functional homes,as I do.I also want my towns to like like midwestern towns with all the charm and character small towns have.Some people might think i'm being silly,but I eally like my game since my kids have grown it's been my favorite past time. "AKA not into bingo and gardening"I still dont feel old enough to resign to those hobbies lol.My son who is going to be 23 in march just laughs at me when he comes over and the dinner I had promised him is still unmade cause I have gotten deeply into one of my sim families,and thinking it hasnt been long am amazed to look at the clock and its 4 hours later.So in tactful way I kindly tell him that I will cook for him,while explaining to him that its the great computer he game me for christmas ,and he should be glad I love my gift so much that I can't leave it alone lol.Now we all know I am full of bullarky,but seems feasable to me at the time lol.Well this is probably enough of my ramblings for now.Happy simming all

I'm really happy!

Guys, I'm really proud to become a member of this talented group of creators! Thank you, TSR, for inviting me to be an SA and thank you all the artists that got me to learn so much from their own great work, like Liana, Milano and Confide!

And last but not least, a big thank you to each one of you who downloaded my creations!

I love creating and I hope to make many beautiful clothes for the TSR community!

Sorry I've been a little slow on my creations. I just recently started a job and don't have as much time, but keep your eyes open by next friday I will have a few new creations.

Celebrate 10 years of TSR with my 2 new community lots :)

Hi All,

It's great to be finally back and what a time to return, 10 years of TSR!

I am in the middle of upgrading to a new computer, so I hadn't got the time to enter the recent screenshot competition. I didn't want to miss out on the fun, so I created 2 Community lots for you all to enjoy.

TSR Birthday Cake:- This is based on a Birthday Cake and has a super large 2nd storey function room for your Sims to party in. On the first floor is the TSR staff office, Sims games shop and toliets. There is an outside grill/barbeque area too. I have added a few of my custom walls and carpets in this lot. I have only partially furnished it, so if you wish to add some extra rooms or even rezone it into a Club, Restaurant or Hotel, you have the scope to do that.

TSR Party Plaza:- This is based on a Birthday present and has 2 large function rooms for your Sims to party in. Only 1 story, but it houses a Sims games shop and toliets. There is an outside grill/barbeque area too. I have added a few of my custom walls in this lot. Again I have only partially furnished it, so if you wish to add some extra rooms or even rezone it into a Club, Restaurant or Hotel, you have the scope to it with this lot too.

I wanted to be downloader friendly with these lots, as I know not everyone has all the expansions for The Sims 2. Both these lots are base game compatible :)

These lots are both currently pending in submissions, so hopefully they will be uploaded to the site in a few days. Don't forget to book mark me so you don't miss out.

Happy Simmin to you all

Ohhhhh yeah!!!

I'm probably jinxing myself by saying this, but as of today, I have published one item a week for about a month now. One of my goals is to publish at least one item a week for the next year. Eleven more months to go!
