2 Items Pending

It's been so long since I have uploaded an item, I just hope I have done it right. (lack of sleep doesn't help, but thats what having twins does to you :) )

Ok we have 2 new tops on their way, children's T-Shirts to be exact. One punk style with a skull logo, and the other a nomadic style top with a flower pattern.

I did not disappear - i'm building a big!!!

Hello everybody,

I'm building a new huge house recently. I have not so much time anymore to spend on Sims 3 as I had 10-20 hours per day, but still - enjoy my creations :) i am so glad you like them...

Here are some screenshots of my upcoming BIG house - i've colored it only outside, made inside walls and doors, added fireplaces and stairs.. room plan is done - now left to make them functional... However I had an issue with "unveven terrain", where i did not flatten all the lot before building. Now it may have complications - i'll try to fix/test them out. Anybody who knows something about such issues and can help is welcome!!

Southern Style Country Chalet

This is the second house that I am currently working on for The Sims 3, and would like to show you an early picture of it now:

Please note that the landscaping ins't done in this picture at all, so the final picture won't look exactly the same. I've also made the garage large enough for two cars as well.

First Submission

What a thrill to see my first submission accepted and posted after belonging to TSR for years. Both of my parents died during the last 10 months and their house is on the market now. I wanted to build a house using their floorplan and then I decided to upload it to see if anyone else would enjoy using it. It was a learning process stumbling through the proceedure of submission, but I have enjoyed it so much I think I may do it again. With Sims 3 I find pleasure in the detail work of decorating ....making the textures and colors match on the house and objects and finding just the right things to carry through with a certain theme.  I am proud to be a member of this community where so many talented people contribute.

Problem.

hey guys,

so, today's a very sad day for me. Today my desktop harddrive decided to crash on me. No more sims 2, all my cc lost into cyberspace. RIP.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll have to wait to buy either a replacement or a whole new CPU. Unfortunately, this means bad things for "Of Love & Lust" since my characters have been lost. I'm thinking I might just have to re-write the last episodes and use sims 3 as a replacement. I can't say how sad I am about this. I hope I figure something out soon.

Submissions awaiting approval

The last week all my lots went through in 24 hours, from pending to approval to published. But the last two days, no such luck. Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps the people doing this are behind, or maybe the policy has changed, I don't know. At least they havn't been rejected, just still pending. I suppose it's not all bad, when they do get approved there will be a lot of published homes coming out in one go. So far over the last two days I've made 6 homes, probably one more to come today that I am pondering about, so that could turn into 7 houses :)

Thanks to everyone who has commented on my lots so far, I'm really chuffed that so many people are downloading and appreciating my homes! :)

A HOT new surprise for your stressed out sims!

Hey guys I've been a way for sometime now and I'm back to let you know of a pet project I'm working on

Here's what I have so far;

I've managed to create a few new meshes and even new animation strings which can be implemented with the new mesh or Object/s I'm working on. I guess I could let you in on what they are ;)

1st New Mesh/Object is a working Jaccuzzi or Hottub with custom anims such as Jet proppelled water flow/bubbles ! Also I have somehow worked out how to export these from the programs I've downloaded/purchased from such as DAZ (but only subparts)Have to work on the kinks and stuff, I have been messing with Daz3d etc and found a way to export mesh files in Daz and transplant (for lack of a better word) them into sims3.package files!
But there IS a major bug when the sims exit the Hottub it crashes to windows! *Sigh* I might have to rethink this.

So far I've created bubble effects and added a new anim interaction to the Tub (Jaccuzzi) which is makeout (borrowed from the Maekout interaction on Sims) I've tested this ingame and I can say it was quite succesful! Apart from the crash when exiting tub of course!!.

And 2nd New Mesh Will remain a Secret until I've decided whether or Not to release it as a Beta Tester! BE PATIENT! xD

Mostly Animating it's quite easy as all you really have to do is "Borrow" Anims from the Parent directory! Like sitting on a chair etc So now the sims can easily be seated in the 'tub' and I'm thinking about other interactions too! I think you know what I mean! xD

WooHoo Anims might take some time though, have to delve deeper into that! As it wasn't my intention to create them ..yet! xD

I had a look at this amazing creation @ DAZ3D.com and it stunned me..Imagine we could have water so realistic and so vivid in TS3 as with this>> http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewImage=84955

Now Look @ This!

 And THIS is OMG Fantasmic! If only.. If Only! 

This is what I aim to do, I might be limited to only a few bugs but once they all get sorted I plan on uploading this as a Beta Tester for anyone <Man> Brave enough to try! Lol I wonder what crazy thing people will do with this once it's done? Of course I'm limited with what I have ( EA Style) but I can use this as my canvas on which to construct THE ultimate Jaccuzzi for Sims 3! If you understood what I meant good for you! lol I hope this WILL be possible for my sake as well as everyone elses!
IMAGINE! I think that shall be the Make/Model of the Jaccuzzi! YES! "The Imagine Pod" or something like that! XD lol it doesn't need to be Perfect just ~Working~

I think I have some ideas xD

Naughty and Nice flavours shall be available I.E 'XXX Rated' for the Erotic Sim who craves a spanking or two! and 'Pure of Heart Default' for the less Pervy minded..heh

If all goes well by the end of this week (after the weekend for those of us who NEED R&R) I should be able to upload the Beta!

Here's Just some of the programmes I'm using;

3D Studio Max Easy to use/understand from the get go.

Maya 6 I can really get into this one!

Blender (though I prefer Milkshape) It serves it's purpose.

I have a few others But they're not Retail they're made by other 3D Meshers etc

Now I'm off to Finish the Tutorials hopefully learning more in the process and pertaining to my goal of completing the "project".. Phew what a mouthful lol
Later and keep simming

The Sims 3 Competition Lots

I felt it was really important to provide feedback on the properties that people created for the above mentioned competition and i have been looking at all the creations and i have left a comment on each one.

I love looking at our fellow simmers creations and i challenged myself to comment on all the properties submitted. Which i have now completed. It has taken me a few days but i enjoyed viewing them and there were some amazing properties and the skills of some creators amazed me. It's a shame that there could only be 1 winner as i saw loads.

We have some really talented builders here and when i look at the properties it inspires me to carry on.

Everyone at the Sims Resource inspires me in many ways and i thank you for that.

Keep up the fantastic work everyone ! x

Actually...

Actually, you'll have to wait until the items are approved, for one because I removed the featured items pod and two because the items are still pending!
