Pool lights anyone?

I was browsing for some content here on TSR for my fianc� as he built a house yesterday. "Fences! Bathroom! Hot tub! Pool lights!" Oh, wait... pool lights. I couldn't believe it when my search for pool lights only turned up one item - and that was a recolour!
So then I thought, well why can't you just put a wall light in a pool? A lot of them look like they would probably be waterproof. So without further dithering, I present to you... pool lights!



These lights use the repository technique (thankyou MsBarrows!) to draw their textures from the matching original wall light, so if you have any recolours of the original wall light they will also appear for the pool light.
I plan to "convert" all suitable wall lights in this way (no fabric shades underwater!), and then I will continue to make my own original pool lights. So sit tight and your pools will soon have a variety of lights!

The PlayStation Series

That's right, I've started on the PlayStation series now!

As before, I plan to release decorative items with my consoles, any suggestions for additional decorations that you want for your game would be welcomed.

The PlayStation 1 is now completed and uploaded, and will be releasing on:

March 28th: Non-Free Time version.
April 4th: Free Time version.

Watch this space, as I will be adding more dates here as I complete the consoles!

Who'd have thought it?

Not me that's for sure! I was absolutely gobsmacked to be asked to be an FA and delighted to be allowed to join this talented group. Thanks to everyone who has congratulated and welcomed me. Unfortunately I have work now so I can't hang about, but if you see a girl working in your M&S grinning like a nut, you never know it might just be me ;)

Important notice about N64 download

If you have downloaded this item, please redownload it, as there was an error with the console file. You only need to redownload one file, which is this one.
I apologise for this error on my part, and hope everyone who downloaded the console sees this notice!

Which expansion and stuff packs do you have?

Please do answer the poll on the left! I really want to get as wide a response as possible. As you all know I haven't been making objects for long but do have a huge object project coming up. The response to the poll will determine which expansion packs I will use where necessary, and which I will avoid.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you'll all like what's coming!

Heather.

Console madness!

Ok so you might notice in my "upcoming" bit down the left there's a NES. But there's more to come! Here's a teaser of my next release... a slightly more recent console from Nintendo!



As you can see it's still early days, and I'm still using a temporary texture for it. Also, the controllers are all I've made so far! They sit next to the Maxis console, so I still have the GameCube itself to make. Nonetheless, watch this space!

Christmas is a-coming!

As you may have noticed, the season of goodwill is upon us. Obviously this means every customer at work is filled with joy and patience as they shop for their loved ones. Or maybe my job is just hell between now and the new year... yes that's closer to the truth. I can't believe I'm working on Christmas Eve too...

But let's forget about all that! The Manic Street Preachers have written what is officially the best Christmas song ever, and even better it's available for free from their website. It's called the Ghost of Christmas and it's a proper old Christmas stomper. I suggest you download it now, and listen to it lots.

Back to the Sims 2, I have a few projects in the pipeline including games consoles from retro to new, some oh-so-cute curly-wurly bunches with Christmas ribbons, and a loose curly hairdo that's a little on the retro side.

Hope you all enjoy the Christmas season and my upcoming releases!

A brief apology

I'd just like to make a quick apology here for not updating as much as I should have lately! I was ill at the end of last week, didn't feel up to much, and I took extra hours at work this week to try and make up for the time I'd missed. Anyway, normal service will be resumed as of tomorrow, once my fianc�'s young cousins have left, and I can get working on a project which I hope you will all enjoy! I also have next weekend off, and that following Tuesday and Wednesday, so I will have plenty of items out by Thursday 15th, with some luck!

Important! Willow hair mesh!

TeXaSrOsE has pointed out an animation problem with my Willow hair mesh. The problem affected the adult mesh (young adults through elders). If you have downloaded this mesh and want it to show up correctly for all ages, please redownload the mesh file here:

Many thanks to TeXaSrOsE for drawing my attention to this!
