Quick News! :)
Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know of quick news and updates!
Creations!
You may mostly see some Sims 3 Lots for download, because they are very easy, and fun to decorate, build, and let your creativity out! :)
BUT, that is not the only thing that you will see from me. I have FINALLY learned how to mesh clothing! :D Thanks to those wonderful tutorials! :)
Other Stuff!
I hope to get a banner and some colors on my page. So, if you could please support me, bookmark me, that would help me out A TON. Thank you to all of those current awesome suporters. It really means a lot to me.
Well, I am going to go ahead and start getting my creativity to work! Catch you guys later! :)
Please comment, bookmark, and sign my guestbook! :)
New Windows!!!
We wanted to be sure we could do it before we made any false promises, but Murano and I both have our first windows in game!
It took a lot of battling to find the window masks, but Apple, Ricci2882 and AnoeskaB finally dug them out after hours of searching and experimenting, and then Murano found a way of extracting them nicely (because window masks are not cloned with the window mesh yet). The end result is that I now have four windows made! Sorry about the, er, building, but I just wanted something to slap windows on. Don't worry - I won't upload it...

For anyone thinking "what on EARTH is she on about?", window-masks are the textures that control where the 'hole in the wall will be for the window. Without a wallmask, there is no hole - so it was pretty important to find them.
Humble Beginnings
I wanted to start with something very, very simple, so I decided to extend the game's Colonial windows. I wanted a 2-tile rectangular and arched version that were full size, together with a matching 1-tile full version. The latest addition is a 2-tile round window. There are minor problems right now (which everyone is experiencing) where the textures are shifting slightly, misplacing natural shadows (for example, where window crossbars join the main frame there is a touch of shading, but that is dropping down below the bars). Therefore I don't have a release date yet; however, once these mapping problems have been zapped, I'll remake the windows to ensure the texture is correct.
But we have windows in Sims 3 already, folks!
Thanks owed to some real community awesomeness!
As well as three clever folks at TSR named above, these windows have been made possible by some already-incredible tools at Simlogical. Thanks to everyone working together in the community (especially Peter and Inge Jones for S3 Object Cloner and Package Editor, (truly fantastic tools already - even though we're so early into custom content), Wes-H for our Milkshape plugins and tools so we can edit the stuff we clone, and TSR and the community at large who have been contributing any information they've uncovered in the goal towards making our beloved custom content possuble for Sims 3.

Exam and studies
Hey there, just letting you know, that I have a huge exam the next weeks and therefore I take a little break for 2 or 3 weeks ,-) Hope you all have a great summer, see you very soon!!!

Poll Results
Well, I have decided it's time for a new poll! The 'Story Types' poll results are in...and it looks as if most of you like to read all types of stories, which is great! :D Romance stories came in second, and there was a tie for third between drama and comedy. Thank you everyone for participating, and feel free to cast your vote on who your favourite Learning to Love character is, in my new poll! ;)
Can I scream?!?!?!?
Why me?!?!? I've got a pretty decent PC as far as parts go & such; my best-friend/roomie/caregiver got me some pretty good parts to upgrade my PC to handle TS2. TS2 for those who don't know......is pretty much my life (sad as that may sound). I love building & playing! I can't play though; after a while of playing I start having the Sims crash on me more & more often. I can start over in a hood & build til the cows come home.......start playing with the Sims themselves & all of a sudden the game wont run. I've gone without my precious cc just so I could play again........and apparently it's been for nothing! I can build with TS2 but TS2 wont let me play with the Sims. So we put this VERY graphically demanding game into my PC.......darn thing ran just fine! In fact the sucker looked awesome! I'm not really into the shoot-em-up kind of games but I don know that if my PC handled THAT like a dream then it shouldn't be my computer's fault. So BF thinks I may have to think about just going ahead & start playing TS3........rather NOT! I miss my days of playing........but I didn't want the Sims for wii because they don't look like Sims they look like Mario & Luigi's next door neighbors (aka they look like Mario Bros. to me), & I don't like TS3 Sims either. So do I just play with TS2, play with TS2 AND suck it up & start the stupid looking TS3 Sims just so I can play WITH Sims? I just wanted to play with TS2 & maybe get a good portion of my cc back.......was that really so much to ask for?
Loving TSR
Hi guys,
I just checked out the forums on thesims3.com my god don't even go there because the first EP for Sims 3 isen't populair there. the stuff they said I can't even repeat it here because of the PG13 rule.
If you ask me they already through it out and flushed it down the toilet.
I also checked out the forums her on TSR and I can honestley say where doing better then they do.
I also saw diffrent realese dates passing by but it's most likeley released in november 2009 (the dates I saw where 16th, 17th, 19th november) just wait for further info.
So...bit quiet round here..
I haven't made any items in a bit, with the Summer Hols being here I have been rather busy. I am looking to make some more clothes and a couple of houses which I will putting on TSR on Sunday. If the weather stays nice, I may be off to Gullivers world on Saturday (early Birthday treat for my eldest) so won't be able to do any Sims goodies then.
I have loads of ideas for "Sims", but can't be done without the sliders hack..not keen on downloading that yet. I should have (if all things go well), a special house coming up too.
I'll keep you updated on what is coming and when.
I am a subscriber! :D
I didn't really expect a 'YES' from my daddy. :)
I just told him how the subscription thingi works, and he is like "Okay, I guess we could do it for 2 months, see if you like it, then I might consider to keep on doing it." :D
I love him. :)
What is the good news for you?
I have more kudos, and you will be seeing some awesome stuff that will be happening to my profile :)
I will also be uploading more items (as on the other post), posting more blog entries, uploading screen shots, and more! :) I am really excited to start creating once my brother is done doing what he is doing now... lol. (that sounded cool! lol)
Please comment, bookmark me, comment on my downloads, and more! :D
Thanks for the supporters already :)
First EP Sims 3 on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just heard from Mariah also a member here on TSR that the first EP of the Sims 3 is coming out. Special Thanks to Mariah.
The EP is called World Adventures What I've seen it kinda looks like Sims(1) on Holiday Sims (2) Bon Voyage Sims (3) World Adventures. That's my personal opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The release date hasen't been announced yet So please don't ask me Thanks. You can Find some Pics here on my Page and on www.thesims3.com
Check out the new poll & screenshots all about this new Expansion
EA putt it on the official Site of the Sims 3 so I believe this info is correct if not DON'T BlAME ME PLEASE I can't help it if they chage things.
