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!
Beginning Clothing and Modern Series
Today is the day where I finally start to work on the Modern series and the Clothing series. I was finding a good 3D editor and I have decided to stick with Google SketchUp. Now while some of the conversions may be hard enough, I'll eventually get it right. Im going to need to refresh myself on how to use SimPE.
The good news here is, that I will finally be starting to do that Modern Series. I tried to create a table the other day, but it failed miserably. Ah well. I guess I'll have to get to work!
More computer problems
My computer broke down last week. Now it's finally fixed, but my data are partly corrupted, so I have to re-install everything including the Sims and many programs I use for creating. So I don't know if I get to create this weekend, but most probably not.
I hope to update in next few days, but usually I don't have time during the week. Maybe tomorrow:)
This picture shows one item of the set I was working on before my computer went mad. See those shoes in the bottom-right corner? Arent't they cute?! :)

American Football Jerseys Part 8
I've been making American football jerseys since August 2006 and finally I've reached the end! Here is my eighth and final set of four jerseys, taking the total to 32 different teams. The final set comprises jerseys for the following teams: Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. My previous 31 jerseys can be found here: American Football Jerseys Superset. I will be updating this shortly to include the new jerseys. 
As usual, these jerseys can be worn by adult and young adult males and use a standard Maxis mesh so they are base game compatible. I hope you've enjoyed seeing the collection grow over the last 3 years. It's been a challenge but fun too! Have fun using the jerseys in your game. I'd love to see your screenshots, so please post any links here.
Thank you So Much For 3000 Downloads!
I have officialy hit the 3000 downloads mark! Thankyou very much to everyone who has downloaded my creations, and please keep donwloading as there is more to come!
Adventures of Bowman Series
I am working on Chapter 2.0 for Adventures of Bowman. You will see who heir/ness soon. Thanks for all the downloads and the 2 thanks... More Tops coming your way soon.
I hope you enjoy Adventures of Bowman Chapter 2.0... when it comes out
5,000 downloads!
I was so excited when I pressed the 'Dashboard' button yesterday and saw that Ihad 5,000 downloads!
I know that to alot of people here, that's barely anything. But when I signed up to TSR, I never imagined that I would even get 100 downloads, so 5000 is pretty major for me! =D
I want to thank everyone who has EVER dowloaded my stuff! And an even bigger thankyou goes out to everyone who left a lovely comment or took the time to 'thank the artist'! I can't tell you how much it means to see that people actually LIKE my stuff!
So thank you again, everyone.
IN DEFENSE OF TSR
Recently someone left a comment on one of my creations. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with my creation but rather was a slur against TSR with a link to a forum - where someone named Delphy was slurring TSR. In the postings frightened TSR members talked of changing passwords and closing their accounts. Its not the first time i have come across slur against TSR in cyberworld but IT IS the first time someone has left a comment on my things.. and I DONT APPRECIATE IT. I dont appreciate others downloading MY item and seeing that link in my comment section. So i have reported it and I WILL be deleting it. Because RL is so busy for me lately I havent had a chance but i intend to REBUKE the person who left that comment. They had no place leaving that comment on my creation when it had nothing to do with my item or me!
I joined TSR about 4 years ago as new sims player .. looking for neat new things for my game. After many months of being a "downloadds" junkie i began to submit my own lots. I have always enoyed TSR and have NEVER had a problem. I have had some nasty people say things to me SINCE i began to create.. but otherwise i have made friends and i appreciate the fact that I have been a free member for 4 years ( mainly cuz my hubby objects to me paying due to our current finaincial situation and I must listen to my hubby) TSR has never hassled me in anyway .. but have allowed me to freely share my creations .
I personally really enjoy TSR and the fact that i can post a blog and submit creations or stories or screenshots - free!
To all those haters out there.. if you dont like TSR then LEAVE! Dont post hateful comments in someones else page. I have read many hateful forums discussing TSR - well i say 75% of TSR is Free Content. Only a small fraction is pay items. Geesh people - it costs money to run a huge site like this! Why shouldnt they make some items pay by asking for people to subscribe? And there are literally tens of thousands of AWESOME FREE custom content on this site. So what are all thses people griping about?? If it were illegal EA would of shut this site down LONG AGO! None of the pay custom content is an actual MAXIS item!
Some of these haters - it sounds to me that they are just angry that they werent ingenius enough to think of a site like this first or they never were good enough to become a featured artist and are jealous ! Or maybe they are just evil and vindictive and have no life so they have NOTHING BETTER TO DO then cause crap. GET A LIFE!
UPDATE: I went to the person who left the comments GB and told them off ( as graciously and without foul language). I hope TSR bans them. Thanks to everyone who left comments on this blog post . TSR is a great place and in the above blog I didnt even touch the surface on all that TSR offers- such as: tutorials, contests, forums with tonnes of help for any problem you might encounter, and on and on. It truly is the best Sims site on the net and none other even come close. All those gripers and haters out there griping about TSR being a PAY SITE- ---gimme a break..it must cost a fortune to run this site..the bandwidth and storage. And of course they are going to have to pay some people to run it .. its alot of work for petes sake. A year membership is what about $57 a year?? talk about cheap!! My 16 yr old son plays TIBIA ( a role playing quest type game) and its $30 for just 3 months!! So TSR is pretty darn cheap - considering the vast amount of custom content on here - plus tutorials etc. So LONG LIVE TSR!! I certainly didnt read in any of these forums anyone griping about all the other pay sites out there...
Although I cannot afford a membership I try to help TSR out by way off my creations- perhaps something i make will draw new members.
And as for the whole Shakeshaft thief thing - Only God knows the truth but I cannot see someone as talented as Shakeshaft having to resort to stealing some meshes. Who knows if the person who was stolen from doesnt have a vendetta against TSR and or Shakeshaft and did it deliberately to make Shakeshaft and Thomas look bad. Or perhaps SOMEONE else ( like one of thsoe pirates)And also to cause TSR to lose member-s which has already happened. There is already a pirate site that offers FA creations for free! Who exactly do they think they are? They offer any pay /donation item from not just TSR but all sims site out there and its totally disgusting! Who are they to do that? Do they make the rules? NO- they are just some whackjobs that are spitey and are willing to steal etc for thier "CAUSE". Get a life! its a friggin video game. Anyway I just wanted to add this...
Again THANK YOU TSR - for keeping this site up - for all you offer the Sims community- for allowing me to be a part of it!
Warmest Regards,
Jackie :)
