Trying everything possible
I'm trying everything to make it work and I can't seem to get it to work and I don't know why it's not working.
My crashes!
Yup, I can't make anything anymore becuase my game keeps crashing, sorry. This is my goodbye. I will still get on though.
Oops! I'm ok seriously folks...blame Radiohead

Hiiii everyone! It kind of felt right then to name them after the more quirky lines out of their songs! (and by the way - it is sooooo hard to think of creative titles). I happen to think Thom Yorke is an incredibly talented and creative lyricist so its a homage really. I have a few more with 'unusual titles' coming through the pipelines but I promise to listen to something less maudlin in the future! Maybe some High School Musical? No - yeah then I probably wouldl want to top myself...jk jk :) Do not worry though. I am as happy as a pig in mud :) Nance |

Sims 3 object meshes!
Yes, it's possible now. :D

Credits go to WesHowe, the Jones and Echo for their tools which made this possible. Thanks! However this is still very experimental stuff! Hopefully the process can be made much simpler in TSR Workshop and not so limited.
This living chair isn't yet finished. Need further tweaking.
What to expect...
Well guys its only the 3rd time ive logged on and im very excited to start learning new things. At first my uploads might seen varied and not that good but please give me time and if anyone has any advice for me please leave it in a comment. Every bit of help is appresiated.
Thanks Millions !
They will be here...promise
You know those clothes I made for Sims 2 and those special Sims of mine, well....
I did put them on TSR, and I uploaded them and waited and waited for them to get approved. I started to get rather frustrated as I really wanted to see what you all thought of them. I have just checked up on my items and realised...erm...I didn't click submit.
Hahaha,....What a stuuupid moo I am. :D
So, they will be here ....soon
GOAL! Killed another!!!!!
I've successfully killed my 3rd PC in three years. Congratulations to ME! Apparently, the disk controller doesn't want to do any controlling any more and has since left the building, leaving me without a booting machine. The monitor chose the exact same day to die, but Samsung have cheerfully said "don't worry - a new one will be with you in a few days" - even without a dealer-stamped warranty card. Samsung, I love you. May all my monitors be Samsung from hereon out. I wish the same could be said for my PC dealer where my emotions are of a decidedly cooler nature...
Okay, it's not TRULY the PC dealer's fault. I have one of those marvellous warranties where anything broken will be replaced - no quibble! Yep, dear customer, whip out that faulty part and we'll send you a replacement - no fuss! They do too; they sent me a new fan and a new hard drive when those items failed. But motherboards? The sad part of the warranty is that don't send out a tcchie person to accompany said part and fit it. And my faulty part is the mere motherboard... Great! I'm the sort of person who can render a PC unusable simply by fitting a new hard drive. You think I'm going to touch a motherboard??? I wish I'd paid the extra £135 (£135!!!) that forces an engineer to get off their proverbial bottom and do the replacing. That will teach me.
Oh, and I live in one of those areas of the world where tractor technicians are ten-a-penny, but not a PC hardware technician to be seen. There are quite a few small-ads where people advertise "PCs? Oh, we fix anything!" in our neighbouring town 20 miles down the road (note: 20 miles seems to be just a bit too far outside any engineer's call-out area too), but a quick telephone call establishes that, when they said 'anything', what they actually meant was Windows being crabby about booting, a gummy mouse-wheel or ridding your PC of the latest virus. Motherboards and disk controllers? Nope, have I considered calling Korea?
I'm now using an old crate of a machine that was the first of my three failures with an overheating northbridge due to a failed northbridge fan (which no-one within 100 hundred miles wants to touch - and people in forums with a same-failing fan - oh, there are a lot of us - have all bemoaned the fact that no replacement fan will fit). This crate doesn't have Sims 3 installed. If it did, I expect it would go into nuclear meltdown (the aging graphics card reaches stellar temperatures before conveniently giving me a cheerful blue-screen reboot (well, 'reboot' isn't exactly true - it doesn't).
So all this is leading to: if my calendar of 'upcoming' becomes empty, I have not abandoned Sims 3. Quite the reverse; it's killing me not to be able to carry on with two lots I've been building. However, I am going to try to get Sims 3 working on this old tin box; I have a neat castle headed your way - nearly finished (it's the one pictured in my new stone wallpaper set).
Sonisphere Festival
I am going to be away for the next 5 days doing some serious rocking out at Knebworth House. So I won't be able to respond to comments, questions, PMs, or generally anything, until Monday evening. If you're heading to Sonisphere yourself, have a great time, and maybe I'll see you there! (Spooookyyy!)
Bye for now folks! :D
Projects I'm Currently Working On..
Today I've started on two well three projects. You should see the following in the next few days:
- One New Mesh (Edit)
- Re-textures of my new mesh and a maxis mesh (maybe)
- One Retro Modern Pattern
- Two sims are currently awaiting to be published and they have been accepted.
- In addition to all of these, I've submitted the prologue to my story, Sisterhood.
I just have to say that my love for TSR is growing! TSR has the best creators and creations that I've ever seen. I am glad to be a "submitter" here and sometime in the future I hope to become promoted.
