Chatroom Invitation!

I am going to be in the TSR chatroom on Sunday, April 12th from 4:30pm CST until whenever if you want to come talk! Any and all people are welcome, and I sure hope I see you there! :D

EDIT: Confused about how to join? The easiest way (if you have Java on your computer) is to scroll down to the "Connect using our Java web client", type in your TSR Username in the box, and click on Launch Chat. That's it! Easy-peasy! :D (Personally, I also like to change the window size to 800 x 600.)

If you need help learning one of the other ways, or aren't sure which one is right for your computer, please read the instructions for the other choices, or ask away on the forums! We have wonderful people on our forums who are GLAD to help get you started chatting with us, and with your friends! :)

Sets, sets, everywhere...

I've had a few sets rattling around in my head for some time now, and with Sims 3 fast approaching I thought I should at least try to get them built. LOL! So here are some fun facts about these new sets!

ANCIENT GREEK STARTER SET - Uni/NL/OFB/SEAS/BV - CC IS included - Release Date: April 8th

I have always adored Ancient Greece. The culture, intelligence, mythology, color, and even the simplistic style and decor of these incredible people are inspiring and fascinating. Even today much of the style and symmetry created by these wonderous people is still in use, and much of it can be seen in contemporary or even modern architecture and design! Ok...I've "fangirled" enough over the ancient Greeks, but here is some info you might want to know about my new lots!

Because Maxis didn't consider Ancient Greece in its decor or furnishings, CC had to be used...and it had to help disguise certain items that simply ruined the whole look I was trying to accomplish. So here are some items that you might want to know about!

Scrolls - Created by ShinoKCR - In the residential lots you will find scrolls. Click on these wonderful scrolls to begin studying or reading! This "bookcase scroll" can be placed on a table, a desk, or in a pre-made bookcase if you can find the space. It's rather a cleverly made object...and I LOVE it!

Mouth of Truth - Created by Spaik - Click on this fountain with a face to begin a series of fun behaviours by your sims designed to build up body skill points! Thanks to this wonderful creation, I could do away with the more modern exercise machines! YAY!

Harp - Created by Dr.Pixel - This beautiful centerpiece is more than it seems! It's a magical harp that plays music like a radio! That's right...it's a radio - fully functioning! Sorry folks, no TVs in these homes, but the harp does well instead!

Hanging Flower Pot - Created by Dr.Pixel - This is actually a fire alarm.

These are a few of my FAVORITE pictures of these wonderful lots! I may have to build more later since I adored creating these lots! Due to some Installation Instructions, these lots are best placed in the Twikki Island template if you want them all to be together. :)

LIKKI TWIKKI ISLAND - Uni/NL/OFB/SEAS/BV/AL - NO CC - Release date: April 16th

While I'm at it...I also created an entirely DIFFERENT set, but this one doesn't have ANY CC. YAY! It's in an Island theme, and even though it is called Likki Twikki, the set is actually best placed in the Moon Islands template to accomodate all lot Installation Instructions. There are 3 lots. A village with 3 rental homes, a beach lot 2 bedroom starter home, and an open air market for the shopping needs of your island simmies. :D Here are a few shots of the community lot and the village...

And yes...I do have some other projects I am working on as well. Not to worry though...even though I will be creating in Sims3, I intend to keep building in the Sims 2 as well! I just love the game too much. LOL! Hope you like the new sets, and that they make both you and your sims very happy! :D

Break from TSR

Hey all,

School holidays have just started here in Australia, the land down-under! And because of the holidays and the fact that I'm going to be starting at a new school next term! I'm going to be taking a break from story-writing and everything else here on tsr for a while. I will though, be posting 1 more chapter for each of the 3 stories I have at the moment. Because well they're already written, I just have to upload them to this site. So after those chapters, there's going to be a bit of a wait for the next ones. Except if I decide that I don't want a break and would rather be playing the sims then doing schoolwork, which might I add is highly likely, well who wants to be doing homework when you can play the sims. But hopfully I won't do that, because I have A LOT of work to get done, in these measly two weeks that I get.

So I'll be back as soon as I can.

Adios xox.

Chapter 2.0 of Adventures of Bowman

I have finally finished Chapter 2.0 for Adventures of Bowman. I have now submitted it and It should be approved tomorrow or Tuesday.  I will updated the website today. The family tree will be updated once all children have there spouse in the house and get married I will update the family tree.

Mountain Vacation Set

On the way from me is a set of 5 lots, 2 hotels, 1 community lot and 2 homes (or vacation homes). These will fit around a french alps sort of 'ski' style, requiring bon voyage and seasons. These could be my best yet! I also have plans to create a moroccan style hotel (not part of this set). Hope you all look forward to them!

Here is a quick snap of the large hotel. It is a work in progress so doesent look perfect... yet! Post your comments telling me what you think and suggestions.

New pjs

I made 3 new pjs today & I want to upload them here. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I can get them uploaded.

My First Blog

This is my first blog.  My name is Terri and I am searching for the pirate booty that is buried around here some where. So far I have dug up 11 and I am searching for the last 2. 

I have been downloading custom content for sometime now and I want to start submitting some of my own recolors.  I have participated in the Texture Challenge to get a feel for it.  So far I have submitted my residential lots.  It would be nice to furnish my homes with my own creations.  I would also like to learn how to make meshes.  Here is a photo of my first recolr using the TC132 texture challenge.  I would like to submit it to TSR. Please let me know what you think. 

Leaving my sims

Well. Tuesday my husband and I are going to Agadir for a week. Agadir is in Morocco and we're ready for the sun! Never been there. I've been to Casablanca, but not outside the airport. I used to be an airline stewardess for KLM for many years. Been all over the world, but just the places just outside Europe we didn't stay long. Therefor my husband and I love totake short holiday trips within Europe and just outside, in this case Northern Africa.

Now, can I leave my Sims? Yes I'll shut down the computer, but I'm online  every day to check on them and to check on you, here at TSR!

OK... enough! I will take books to read, lotion, and I think of some Morrocan theme I can do for the Sims when I come back April 15th.

I seem to be having a thing with uploading my lots. They are pending forever! Over aweek! I don't know why that is? If someone can tell me pleasssse let me in on it! I just came back from a B-day party. A friend turned 50 and we had a great lunch and drinks in Amsterdam. I have a Morroccan lot. I am going to move Nashi who lives there and redo the building so it can be uploaded. Yes, I'll go Morroccan for a week or so. Bye for now!
