ABOUT THE OCEANVIEW RISE LOT

I am so sorry to all of you but it seems as though I have forgotten to put a door in the garage! Such a small but important detail to overlook and I feel embarrased about it! I'll be updating the submission with a new file (with the door added already, which is the only revision i'll be making) as soon as I g et hom around 4 hours from the time of posting. Sorry again!

2 Million Downloads!

Wow! I went over 2 million downloads today. :) Back in August I experimented with my first RC and I never even imagined reaching 1 million. I want to thank all of you wonderful Simmers out there for your support ( and downloads) .

My first submissions!

I have been coming to TSR for a long time, probably around two years now, back when I started to play TS2, long after it's official release, I was amazed at what you could download here.  I've always been really thankful to all the artists who's work made me enjoy my game even more. Because let's face it, EA's official content is generally old fashioned and somewhat icky.

I hope that before long TS3 will get the same kind of REAL custom content, not like it is now, but with our own sofa's, beds and building objects, I really miss them! For now, I am sticking to housing, and today I have built and funished three that I have submitted earlier. I am just waiting for them to all go through.

Thanks to everyone who's made my game better, I now finally contribute and hope my work makes someone else happy too! :)

New Poll

I have a new poll out regarding Sims 3 downloads. I hope you'll drop by and complete it.

I'm plunging ahead with lots, Sims and patterns in Sims 3.

Will be having some Crown Moldings appearing from time to time. Thanks to Black Garden for the idea.

Will see what other patterns I can come up with.

As always if you have any ideas, suggestions, helpful criticisms, etc., feel free to PM, write in my guestbook or otherwise make your thoughts known. I enjoy myself more when I'm making things that you like.

I'm also going to try to upload some screenshots for you.

About 10 days left until my new PC arrives!

Enjoy your games and have a great time!

If I did this, would you be interested?

I'm thrilled we can now make custom patterns from scratch for Sims 3.  I've uploaded one already, and I have a few more to come. 

However, for most textures I need, the in-game EA patterns are more than enough when modified.  But I also know of another player who simply hasn't the patience and would rather download ready-textured sets.  So, the question I'm asking is: if you prefer PLAYING, can YOU be bothered to paint everything yourself?  That is: would you be interested in downloading small (and free) ready-recoloured themed sets to save you the bother of creating them yourself?  If so, I'll upload my recoloured objects (I have two small sets at the moment: trashed-up bathroom and trashed-up park equipment).  They can easily be recoloured without changing the trashy look so they're simple to use. 

If there is interest, they probably won't be uploaded at TSR (TSR only accepts brand new custom patterns - not object recolours) but I have another location lined up.  Let me know what you think.  Interested, or not interested in downloading themed, EA-retextured objects?  Add your comments below - and thanks for your input!

Screenshots + Downloads

I just love this game the more I play it. I've opened up The Sims 2 only once since getting Sims 3 and it was so odd. I only opened it up to get a screenshot to edit, otherwise it would've been weird playing my old legacy family. I know some people refuse to buy or even try Sims 3, but they really don't know what they're missing. No offense to EA, but the screenshots and videos they provided for advertising kinda suck. People who want to buy should look at screenshots from real players who went out and bought the game. For example, a community friend of mine, Mel Calero is doing some excellent things with sims photos artistically. I just love all of her pictures!

I'm definitely still having fun making celebrities and am now just getting into swatches, which was challenging at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it!

These are all available for download now from my page.

Good news and Bad News

Good new is, I now have a new PC so making Sims things will be so much easier.

Bad news is, I have just purchased Sims 3 so I'm a little busy playing the game at the mo...sorry *cheesy grin*

I may have a go at making Sims 3 things, but for those who have Sims 2 I will be making more clothes soon. I have a few ideas in mind, like t-shirts from the TV series Prison Break (just got into the series and Im addicted...can't believe they cancelled it!)

Canal Street...Tricky Stairs

Well, personally I like Canal Street very much, that's also why I moved my Simself there... I did some major re-arranging to create room for another stair leading up to second floor, thus creating 3 new rooms...Maybe I'll re-upload the expanded version, have to tell my Simself to pack her bags...She won't be happy...

NEW STORY SUBMITTED :)

New & i think the first sims 3 story to be submitted. woot! it's called 'lost in translation' be looking for it!!!!
