Mountain Vacation Update

Hello there everyone =)

The lodge for the ski resort set is getting on nicely. I have finally finished fiddling the top floor so I can fit in a few loft rooms and I am now starting on some of the interior design. The lodge will have 5 rooms, with one huge master suite. All of the rooms will have balconies. I am also considering placing a few log cabins hidden away in the woods... what do you guys think? Post your feedback in my guestbook or comment below!

Master suite living room so far (like the yellow?):

Another one of the suites:

Hope you like it so far!

Giving up on those chests for now!

I've decided to quit looking for that last chest--if I run across it--fine--that will be so cool--anyway I've still got till May-the-somethingth to find it! So I am going to just spend some time finishing up my Patriotic Dress Set. Yes I know 4th of July is still a few months away, but May is also a patriotic month because of Memorial Day, VE Day, and Armed Forces Day--days that Americans will proudly display an American Flag, if they don't have one flying already! (I have an American flag on one side of my driveway, and usually a Union Jack on the other, because my husband is half British. But we took down our Union Jack because it had gotten a bit raggedy, but we will replace it eventually) Anyway the dresses are various combinations of red, white, and/or blue--so far there are two red, white and blue ones, and one that is just red and white, and one that is a red, white and blue plaid with another color or two thrown in for good measure! I am at the moment working on a solid white one, and may also end up with a solid blue and solid red one in the set as well--lets just say I haven't decided yet when to stop! :D At any rate they will all use the same mesh by Harmonia09. And maybe be by this evening or tomorrow I will have a sneak preview screenshot to show you.

Can we ask for a hint?

Is it also a NO-NO to ask if anyone has found booty in the forums? A simple "yes" is all I'm looking for. I got up to 10 on Friday and hit a brick wall. Surely I'm not the only one. I'm not frustrated......yet (LOL).

One thing's for sure, I've gotten to know this site up close and personal. That never would have happened without this competition. I salute the think tank behind this one by creatively turning a nasty situation into alot of positive energy!

10.000 downloads

Today when I woke up and checked out my profile, what did I see?

I've now reached 10.000 downloads!

Wiiie, that's so cool

Clothes!

Ok so I tried for two days and found out i cannot mesh for anything! I'll try at another time....maybe. So for now what im doing is recoloring some meshes! YAY! I love doing that it is so much fun to do. Anyway i will be doing alot of this over the next few days and i will post as soon as i take pictures. I do hope you all with like my creations(recoloring).

I spoke too soon...AGAIN.

Good grief...it feels like one thing after another!

I was in game, getting screenie for the next Andretti update and WHOOSH! everything went black. Just flippin' peachy...

I could still hear my little simmies enjoying themselves...so, I opted to go across the street and borrow a monitor. Maybe my monitor had gone wonky...

No luck, the neighbors monitor is all black too...so, tomorrow I start the search for a new graphics card.

One of my photographers has a card that won't run my game, but'll get the computer up and running so I can pull all my files off of it and get them onto an external hard-drive. Then, I start the search for a brand new computer that I was hoping could wait until Sims 3.

All my simming has been put on hold...unforunately.

Real Life

I know it's super hard to believe, but I do have a life outside of TSR. Lately, the Andretti Legacy has been pushed to the back burner. For that, I apologize. But, let me explain...

For the past 6 months, I've been planning a surprise birthday party for my mother (also a TSR member) for her 50th birthday. It took everything I had plus some to get this thing underway and make it happen. Well, it happened and she was super shocked and had no idea about any of it. So, that in itself was a great accomplishment for me.

During that time, I've had to battle many reproductive dramas and will continue to battle them as my case is not as common, and there's no 'fix' for me other than another major surgery that I'm not ready for.

Now that the party is over, and it would seem that the reproductive dramas are very small...Lovey and I have decided to get our own place...FINALLY. But, with that comes many issues...no computer, no internet for the computer, and many other moving catastrophes...including making my cat who is mainly outdoor completely indoor. Now, that will be a real headache.

Either way, I will need to purchase a brand new computer. One to run Sims 3 and then we'll need to invest in Tivo for Lovey and internet for me. I will get the computer first, obviously...and will load my Sims 2 onto it for the time being and continue to take screenshots and carry them over to my mother's to upload some Andretti updates. So, bear with me...I really appreciate all your patience.

Speaking of the Andretti's and Sims 3...yeah, you guessed it...they'll be moving to Sunset Valley as soon as the game hits the shelf (and assuming I have a computer at this time). If not, I'll buy the game and drool over it every day until I get a computer. Anyway, I'll keep updating until I get to the point where the switch-over will occur, then I will notify all of you that I won't be uploading anymore until Sims 3. Don't worry, there's still two months to go!

So, all in all...real life is just as crazy as ever and don't expect too much, but be thankful for what you get.

Preview Content & Fences

Because I like to dress up my previews, I have been asked a few times where I have gotten an item or items I use in them. 99% percent of the time they are from TSR, one of my own creations, or one of my friend DD's creations. Most of the time I know who and where they are from, so don't be afraid to ask!

Also, both the Panorama Fencing and Doors are finished. Just to make captures and previews. :)

Only one set of Panorama windows left to go: single middle row. I have to admit, I'm ready to move on, lol!

Competition

I've been looking all day for the last chest and I just found it! It's my first time entering a competition and this was an irritating way of doing it.

I've almost reach 10.000 downloads! That's so cool! I would like to thank you all who have downloaded my stuff.

I don't have any school next week so I think, if I'm feeling inspired, I will make something to celebrate my 9.944 downloads :)

Tank you!
