Working on a new lot
Hi there :-)
atm I'm working on this new seaside-resort architectured (German: Bäderarchitektur) lot.
Seagull
It is almost finished but I can't upload this lot because I used some new TSR object-meshes. TSRAA for TS3 object-meshes is still in development. So I have to wait with submitting this lot.
Something is missing...
If you happen to notice any missing images in my blog here, or in any of my FA thread posts or forum stories, the reason why is pretty simple - someone apparently saw
fit last weekend to abuse access to a Sims2 web site in order to steal
the passwords of myself and several other TSR FAs and SAs (not going to
point fingers since we don't have proof enough yet to narrow it down to
any one specific site, though I can say it was not TSR), then try those
passwords against other places on the internet where any of us had an
identifiable web presence.
In my case I was
lucky - I'd already been phasing that particular password out of use
since I knew I'd used it on at least two Sims2 sites in the past that
can now be characterized as being havens for so-called pirates. Whoever
it was that did this only hit the jackpot on one location, my
Photobucket account, which they promptly redirected to a (probably fictitious) email address, deleted many of my pictures, and replaced
most of the remainder. One of the "replacements" they made - replacing
a photograph of me with the same photograph overlaid with the word
"ATWAT", which, yes, I am aware is the pirate's chosen name for an
ex-TSR staff member that they apparently have an obsessive, fanatical
hatred of - made it pretty clear that whomever did this is part of the
pirate faction of the Sims2 community.
The first I learned of
this was on Tuesday morning, when I got a phone call from my brother
letting me know that my online portfolio, which I'd just spent weeks
putting together, having only just completed it on Friday of last week,
was screwed up. Thankfully I hadn't started shopping it around on job
applications yet - linking to a site full of Photobucket's "Image moved
or deleted" and "Violation of our terms of service" images would NOT
have made a good first impression on potential employers. It might have
been even worse then that - one person reported that she had her
family photo album replaced with indecent images.
As I say, I was
lucky - I'm aware of someone who had been using the
password which was stolen on their primary email account as well. I'm
sure you can image the "fun" whoever did this had with password reset
utilities over the weekend as a result. In all, the person or person(s) responsible
for this is so far known to have vandalized Photobucket, Flickr,
MySpace, Youtube, and other online presences of at least 5 people. No,
I won't name names - it's up to those FAs or SAs to decide for
themselves if they wish to make any statements on this latest
vindictive behaviour against those of us who call TSR home.
Photobucket
support gave me back control of my account, and I've since re-uploaded
almost all my images. There are some missing, which I'll re-upload as I
locate them. Thankfully I'm a packrat, so except for a few isolated
images I'm pretty sure I still have local copies of just about
everything I've ever posted to Photobucket.
In the meantime, to
whomever did this, and to anyone in the pirate community that delights
in, supports, and condones this kind of behaviour, I can only hope that the bad karma this
sort of petty vandalism earns turns around and bites you in the ass.
Thanks to Everyone..
..who posted comments on my screenshots. Love getting comments...love taking pics. Always thought my pics were rather boring, but Sims3 means you can take some good mood pics. I love landscape pics and funnily enough in real life most of my pics are of scenery not people..so thanks again everyone, it makes me feel that even though i don't submit lots or downloadable items i'm still part of the community.
Just Wanted To Say...
...thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my items and screenshots.
I know i'm not perfect at creating custom content but it's a great boost of confidence for me to receive such lovely feedback from skilled artists. It means a lot to me. :)
Hello!
I didn't realize I can only have 5MB worth of images here (and my images are pretty huge, averaging from 100KB to 1.5MB depending on quality and colors XD ), 5MB is not enough for me. That's only 3-picture-equivalent of pictures I normally process. I bought more storage here in TSR and I have two gallery now here in my mini-site. One for TS2 and one for TS3. It's still unorganized but I'll be updating them soon.
This weekend, I will be playing and updating my TS3 game. I went on a full CC shopping spree today. I'll get back on TS2 after I get done testing with the new TS3 goodies and capture scenes for my upcoming TS3 video. ^^ I'm so happy to find more, more custom objects! I haven't played TS3 for a week, so lol, I'm excited to go in my game, build more sets and decorate!
So yeah, that's about it for now. Have a lovely weekend.
Decorating Houses
So I've noticed, I tend to use the same colors when I'm decorating the inside of houses I create. Bathrooms tend to be some form of green or blue. Bedrooms green blue or mauvey. Kitchens light tan for the most part. I tend to make dens some form of dark colors, brown or blue. Living rooms green or blue again. Then there's the outside decorating. I always want to put a pool, pond, and garden somewhere! Oh yeah, and a back deck or patio. The flowers tend to be blue or purple, I don't like alot of trees, love the small cherry and the small plum I think it is. Ugh. Gonna have to work on my diversity!
New Poll
Hi again simmers, I have a new poll out and it's regarding how you make your profile banner. There is an option for everyone to vote so come and get your kudo's for the day! :)
Poll Results - Downloading Sims
Hey simmers, below are my the results from my poll about downloading sims. There were two questions:
1. 'What do you look for when downloading a sims?' It seems that alot of people like to download sims with 'custom content' and why not! Your basically getting two prezzies in one! Second was 'age' and equal third was 'Gender' & 'I only play my own sims'.
| Personality Traits | 14.29% |
| Age | 28.57% |
| Gender | 25.71% |
| Lifetime Wish | 2.86% |
| Favorites | 8.57% |
| Custom Content | 31.43% |
| I only play my own Sims | 25.71% |
| I don't download Sims | 20.00% |
| I'm not really fussed | 14.29% |
2. 'What age and gender do you prefer?' Downloading 'Females' and 'Young Adults' is the most popular choice. I didn't think that there would be such a gap between the sexes. Although I pretty much thought that young adults would be way up there. Coming in second was 'Depends on what I feel like playing' and 'Adult' was third.
| Male | 28.57% |
| Female | 57.14% |
| Toddler | 8.57% |
| Child | 11.43% |
| Teen | 8.57% |
| Young Adult | 54.29% |
| Adult | 22.86% |
| Elder | 5.71% |
| Not really fussed | 11.43% |
| Depends on what I feel like playing | 25.71% |
Thanks everyone who took part! ;)
