Okay, so I may not be abke to create actual items, but I can make beautiful sims and houses!  CAS is one of my favorite things in the game, messing around, seeing what works.  It really is cool that I can showcase other people's works, and sponser their account....Sort of.  No one will actually read this, much less download my stuff.  Well, I am tired.

Historic Canada Series

Blog post by lostarts added Jun 16, 2013 | 0 comments

A few years ago I submitted a few Sims 2 lots, including entering some of the fun contests in the TSR forums.  I hoped to do more, but real life intervened.  Finally I have gotten around to trying again with Sims 3.  I have decided to recreate some of the many historic homes that have been preserved across Canada, many of which are open to the public.  I initially thought I would try to make them with no Custom Content, but my desire to make the buildings as historically and architecturally accurate as possible, means I have turned to the amazing TSRAA creations to make that happen.  Thank you to all who have downloaded my first 4 houses in the Series.  I hope to spend the summer recreating heritage sites from coast to coast for all those armchair travellers at TSR.  So enjoy seeing a bit of Canada.  Maybe it will inspire you to do some real-life sightseeing in this great country.  There's lots to see and do.  Have a great summer.

Takin' it seriously

For those of you who follow my work and would like to know what you can expect soon. :)

Currently working on a smart, pretty dress set for girls. Also potentially some classy underwear for female adults. I've made some other casual pretty day outfits too but they aren't as good as the standard I upload so I'm still working on them while I come up with some ideas to make a really lovely set :)

Houses require a bit more time but I have a few favourites that I am in the process of vacating so they can be packaged soon.

 

Thanks for viewing my page and I hope you like my creations :)

Hello again! Long time no see. I kinda have been ignoring TSR stories for the longest, since I have found a different site with similar things... But I'm back! And I have a handful of idea's for you! I've already got a whole world started specificaly for creepypasta's! My first family I'm working on is Jeff the Killer's family. But since my create a houshold won't work, I had to use cheats to get them looking the way I wanted. (Like taking a premade family and using the cheats to go into create a houshold there since it won't let me when I try it by going into edit town.) I don't know what happended, but I found a loop hole that should work for now! I'm going to give my computer to my ever, so clever, computer wiz, uncle and see if he can fix it... Again... 

 

  Well, enough about my problems! Like I said, I already have Jeff's family almost done. I made their house by hand, and I made the neighborhood that it talks about in the story. I will also be having other popular creepypasta's in that same world as well! I even named it, Creepypasta World. I know, not a very uniqe name but it will do. And if any of you who are reading this, can you give me any link to a, chin to neck, slider? I looked on Mod the Sims, but it the original one is gone, and the only one left working is for children. It would mean alot!

 That's pretty much all I have to say, for now! I'll tell you and give you updates on if it got fixed or not! And for those of you who don't know what Creepypasta is, here's a link to the webpage and the YouTube channel. 

 

BYE! Thank you for reading!

My Gothic Victoriandresses serie and other stuff.

Blog post by Sylvanes added Jun 06, 2013 | 0 comments

For evry one who is intrested did I wanted to talk about my Gothic Victoriandress serie, clothing in my style for teens (maybe elders) and my upcomming wall murals (maybe also walldeco).

1. My Gothic Victoriandresses serie.

I'm glad that many ppl loves this (just started) serie of dresses :) To let you all know that the dresses will be a mix between the Gothiclook and the old Victorianlook, thats why its called 'Gothic Victorian' so that just means that it will be a darker and maybe more modern look to the beloved Victorianstyle. I cant tell how many dresses there will come but I can tell now that man sims soon also will have clothing in this serie and mybe some necklaces and bracelets for the females to (will see). Theres only 2 other things to say about those dresses and thats I mostely did handdraw them in gimp, I hope you all respect that and the second is that without the beautiful mesh of Beo2010 I wasent able to create those. Thanks alot :)

2. Clothing for teens (maybe elders).

Some ppl where wondering why there isnt stuff for teens in the style of clothing for young adult and adult. Well I was thinking about making also for them (male and female teensims) but I cant promis that it will be soon. But if some-one have intrests in the clothing of adults that might also fit for teens then note me about it and then maybe I will make those also for teens. (if ppl want clothing for elders or other ages then also note me maybe we can talk about it)

3. The upcomming murals (and maybe also walldeco).

To let you all know, I love to draw making some sort of art and some weeks ago did I wanted to make some of my things for the sims. So I stared to create wall murials and wall decoration when I did test them all ingame will I upload them to TSR. The murials will be mytology but they will be female the first that will come is the Siren, second the centauren, I dont know for the 3th (maybe 4th, 5th)  but ppl with ideas are welcome to note me about it. The wall deco will be more random thing I did made. But dont steel my artwork or claim it as yours but your free to ask requests.

Thanks all and I hope some-one found this all usefull to know.

Friendly greetings,

T.D.

Blog post by luckylibran24 added Jun 03, 2013

Now that my kids "Sweet Stuff" PJ set has been submitted (pending approval) I have tried my hand at creating genetics. Something I have not done before...

Turns out creating eyes is really easy! So I've just put together my first eye colour set which features my favourite exiled Westeros princess, Daenerys Targaryen! Well...her eye colour at least! For those who only watch the show and think nothing much of her eyes let me explain...In the books Daenerys has violet/purple eyes, so that's one of the items I have made :) Here's a preview. Daenerys Targaryen Eye Colour Preview

The First Dress and the First Fashion Line

Blog post by Triple f added Jun 03, 2013 | 0 comments

Hello, :)

today we'd like to present the first dress - the "Dress Marine Style" - of "Triple f" to you.

It's is part of the "Halt's Maul!" fashion line, a line which stands for simple clothes (as every fashion line of "Triple f" does) but also for it's especialness since the clothes of this line are all having something which makes them a bit different, a bit exclusive. They are more eye-catching than any other clothes of "Triple f" - but in comparison with many clothes on the world, they are still frugal and inconspicuous.

First, some answers to some questions:

  • Why is the line called "Halt's Maul!"?

    Every line of "Triple f" will be named in german because "Triple f" is a german fashion label. "Halt's Maul!" means something like "Keep your trap shut!" in English. We know, it's a little bit rude but it isn't named like that to affront you, it's named like that to express: "Yes, we know that this are different clothes, that this clothes aren't very special and revolutionary, but, yes, this clothes are still appropriate at any non-daily occasion. You could wear them at a wedding ceremony, in a disco, at a funeral and at an Academy Award ("The Oscar"), the clothes are allrounders and if you agree with that or not, well, we like them anyway. 
    So, it's your problem. Keep your trap shut. ;) ".
  • Why is the dress part of this line?

    It's part of this line because it isn't something you could wear every day. It's formal and it has something eye-catching, the red margin in contrast to the blue middle part. So it's appropriate at the situations described in the paragraph before and - as a result from that - part of the "Halt's Maul" fashion line.
  • Why this dress for the begin?

    We know that it would make more sense to begin a line with a simple top and a pair of trousers or even with two or three complete outfits. But this dress came in our minds first and that made it to the first garment. And we didn't want to waste time while creating other outfits and dresses although we already had designed some - that wouldn't make sense or would you create another cake batter if you've got already one you could put into the stove? - and so we've decided to start with only one dress.

We hope that we now resolved the most important questions, if not, just comment this blog post. :)

 

Second, a foresight:

 

At the moment, the dress is in process and we'll do our very best to finish it fast. Until that, we'll inform you about our progress in creating it, particulary on twitter, so just look there from time to time for more information (you don't have to create an account, just go to https://twitter.com/triple_f_ideas). The TSR blog will be only used for publishing long blogposts like this one - short posts (respectively tweets) will be released on twitter, and some on facebook too. We'll only use instagram for showing our ideas to you, sketches of clothes which will be created for Sims 3 but also some sketches which won't be available (but if many of you express the wish that we create it, of course we'll do).

 

After finishing this dress it will be uploaded (what else? ^^) to TSR and then be available for you for free - as most of our clothes will be. After that, we'll create more clothes and more and more. And every single garment will be presented on the TSR-Blog before publishing so you'll be able to get an impression of it first.

 

It's possible that we make new fashion lines but also create clothes for the older ones, so don't worry if we write a blogpost about a new line - the older fashion lines will be continued too.

 

This was the presentation of the new dress and the new fashion line. We hope that it was informative and interesting, and that you'll like the dress. If there are any questions, write them into the comments. :)

 

Hugs,

 

 

Triple f

Turkey Needs Your Support!

What’s Going on in Taksim?

Over the past four days, a peaceful protest against the destruction of a public park off Taksim square in Istanbul has exploded into mess of pepper spray, tear gas, water cannons and general police brutality.

So why are Istanbul’lu’s so upset over the destruction of a small park?  It is not the physical park so much as what it represents.  Gezi park is the last green space in central Istanbul (not including the old city) and it is being destroyed to build retail space.  Over the last 10 years or so, Istanbul has been in the midst of a construction boom.  This has resulted not only in its outward expansion but razing and conversion of old buildings in its core.  Building after building has been turned into shopping space, much to the chagrin of local residents.

But it is not only the fact that a mall will replace Gezi park.  Much of the focus of the protests have been on the destruction of the trees rather than the park itself.  The destruction of trees has been a hot topic in Turkey recently.  Two new projects, the third Bosphorus bridge (for which there was a ground breaking Wednesday) and the new Istanbul airport will result in the razing of hundreds of thousands of trees.  Residents of Istanbul are feeling powerless in the face of the increasing homogenization and concrete-ification of their city.  The threat to this small piece of open space and these few trees has become the perfect stand in for much larger changes and projects.  This protest is about residents of Istanbul trying to regain a small measure of control over the destruction of the city they know.

The disproportionate response of the police to this relatively small, local protest a sign of insecurity, not strength.  Now is the time for Turkey to prove that it is indeed the model Muslim democracy that it has claimed to be.  Prove that the average Turk does indeed have the right to freedom of assembly, speech and peaceful protest.  Prove those of us who have warned that Turkey is slipping toward authoritarianism wrong.  Prove that the Turkish Republic has the strength to bend to the will of its people.

This Is Me

Blog post by KettySim added Jun 02, 2013 | 0 comments

Okay so totally I do not know what to post in my blog, and I really don't know what to freaking do.

So I'm thinking of Introducing myself. So hello peeps this is me, this blog is going to be totally weird since I'm just going to post weird things about sims and shits so yeah.


Things you wanna know about me is that, I like to draw dresses, call me a fashion designer and I love building houses in TheSims 2 modern and victoria. I prefer TheSims 1 and 2 than 3. I think TheSims 2 is perfect, my TheSims 3 sometimes crash though and I do not like it a lot. I have Instagram, Facebook, Wattpad, Twitter and TheSimsResource. I love to dance and rap, but more on dancing. Call me a crazy dancer. I am a Libra, which is balance. I don't think I'm balance at all. LOL. I am also a bitch or a slut but still a virgin, I only like to mess with boys so yeah, I'm a slut but still a virgin. Sometimes my humor gets carried away. I just had the weirdest imagination ever that Nicki Minaj stole my sandwhich and Paris Hilton came stomping in my room and smashed my face on the keyboardsafnjeiofg9435u09r2qeokaqmcs.ve;rmjgiodfh28ry23

 

 

I also have stories in Wattpad, please if you like to read them feel free but be warn some of them have mature content so yeah, beware of perverts.My watty with stories

[SF] Revisions--IMPORTANT--PLEASE READ

Blog post by Victorian Carly added May 31, 2013 | 0 comments

Hi, Everybody! Over the next few weeks I will be revising my lots and adding the letters [SF] to the name of all revised lots. [SF] = Spawner Fix.

I have been building Sims lots for a year, now. However I have never actually played the game (except, of course, when I test my lots). And, until this April (when I got some EP's for my birthday) I only had the base game. So, although I have been an artist for 20 years, and have some experience with that, to my own embarrassment, when it comes to video games (not just The Sims) I'm still pretty much a rookie. :(

Therefore it's probably not surprising that I've only recently learned about spawners. I just discovered, yesterday, that whenever lots with spawners are deleted (in order to build a new lot), it is possible for them to leave behind spawners on the land, which will, then, become a part of the new lot.

If you're like me, you might ask: What are spawners? Well, good question. Spawners are the source of butterflies, fish and various other living things (and natural resources like gems, too) on Sims land. These spawners multiply every time the lot is picked up and rotated, and new spawners are added every time a new lot is tested or used in that space and then deleted.

Spawners after deleting a lot

Spawner Alert!

Months ago a downloader told me that she had downloaded a lot, from me, that played very slowly, for her, and she thought it might be caused by the butterflies. I was baffled by the problem because I couldn't re-create it when I tested it, and I couldn't find an explanation for it when I googled it.

I'll admit I had thought those pretty little insects were somehow generated because of (or attracted to) the plants in the gardens, and since I never had any problems when I tested it, I assumed the problem had to be caused by butterfly varieties from an EP that I didn't own. Is there an emoticon for the embarrassment that I now feel over my ignorance?

Spawners. Duh. That seems so obvious...now that I know what spawners are.

Yesterday, after I found out about spawners and read some threads on the topic, I learned that some people have a problem with them slowing down their game-play, while others do not (which is probably why I didn't have this problem any of the times I tested the lot). So, if you don't have a problem with spawner game-lag then there is nothing you need to do. But if you do, keep reading.

Fortunately for those who DO have this problem, I now know the cause and how to fix it. Starting today I will be removing spawners from my lots and posting revised copies for download. Once they are revised I will add the letters [SF] to the lot title so that you know which ones have been fixed.

The lot info for these revised lots will now read: "REVISED: Spawners removed. Originally built with base game. Now revised and tested with World Adventures, Pets and Supernatural EP's."

If you would prefer not to re-download the lot, the links I have included offer instructions for removing spawners. However, I have discovered that it takes so many clicks per spawner (before they finally disappear) that I lose count. Apparently they are stacked on top of each other, which is one of the main reasons why I'm am going to be offering the revised downloads for everyone.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR [SF] LOT REVISIONS:

!!! VERY IMPORTANT !!! Please keep in mind: when you delete a lot in order to place an [SF] lot in its space, if that lot had spawners on it, there could still be spawners left behind on the land. It is because lots can often leave behind spawners that I ended up with spawners on mine. So be sure to check after you delete the old lot and before you place the new one.

It is especially important to check the land if you delete one of my old lots, which we know had spawners on them. Unfortunately it will probably require numerous clicks on each spawner in order to remove them from the land. If they don't go away, just keep clicking—sometimes there are several dozen stacked on top of each other. I apologize, in advance, for this

Click here for instructions for deleting these. Also remember that spawners can only be deleted in build/buy mode. For more details read this thread.

About Me

Blog post by Victorian Carly added May 31, 2013 | 0 comments

I had never written much about myself in the "about me" section of my profile because I was pretty sure my life wasn't very interesting. However, since then I have realized how much I enjoy reading about the other people on here. No matter what the details are, getting a picture of other people's lives and who they are has made my TSR experience so much cooler!

So, although I still think my life is pretty boring, maybe there are people out there who like boring people such as me and think boring is...err...interesting? (Ok, ok I'll stop making jokes and get on with it).

About Me:

I live in Minnesota, and like many other Americans I, myself, am a bit of a melting pot of immigrants. I am the granddaughter of a Ukrainian immigrant and the great-granddaughter of Finnish immigrants on my mother's side.

On my father's side I am the great-granddaughter of Swedish immigrants as well as the descendant of a man who immigrated to the colonies before the American Revolution in 1775. Not a grandfather or great grandfather, obviously, but my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great...well, you get the picture.

Apart from the English ancestry from my paternal grandfather, my parents' generation was the first within their families to speak English as their first language. Unfortunately, because of this, I never learned Ukrainian, Finnish, or Swedish even though my grandparents all spoke these languages first.

Nevertheless, like many Minnesotans I do have a bit of an accent. The movie Fargo made us famous for accenting our o's and pronouncing our t's as d's and so on. I'm from Minn-uh-SO-duh. Many Minnesotans claim we do not have an accent, but it depends upon what part of Minnesota we are from. Just listen to our former governor, Jesse Ventura, and you'll know what I mean.

Thanks to my Scandinavian background I am quite tall for a woman. I'm 5'10" (177.5). I grew up in the Twin Cities where there are fewer tall people, like me, and therefore (I'm embarrassed to admit) I was a lot taller than most of the boys in my high school and didn't start dating until a few weeks before my Senior Prom.

My own best friend was nearly a foot shorter than me, so I managed to feel huge and awkward until I was in my 20's. That's when I finally learned to accept it, enjoy it and work it. I started to enjoy fashion, shopped-until-I-dropped, wore high heels (stopped slouching to look shorter) and basically strutted around pretending I was like a fashion model or something—haha! It didn't improve my dating stats much—but at least I was having fun!

You might have noticed from my profile that I call myself an artist/musician. It's not my career however. I am more of a lifelong student-of-the-arts. I have been painting, drawing and singing since I was old enough to speak and to hold a paintbrush or crayon. I have been playing the piano since I was 7. I love all things artistic and never stop working to improve. I want to be able to create things that matter and make people's lives better.

I never did go to college to become a professional artist or musician, though. And this is the part I usually hate talking about (yet it's a major part of who I am). I've had several medical problems since I was an infant and after working in an office only a few short years, as an adult, I became too sick to leave the house.

11 years later, after several surgeries, going gluten-free, taking supplements and getting allergy shots (as well as some Alt Med that has been helpful) I'm starting to look forward to having a normal life again because my health is slowly-but-surely improving. I still have not been well enough to hold a job and was recently diagnosed with a disability (brain damage / memory impairment), but since it is probably the variety that is not permanent, I trust it will improve, over time, as my health continues to improve.
For now, I garden, spend my time with my 3 adorable cats (who I am allergic to but :wub: to pieces anyway), write, study music and art (with the hope that I will be able become a professional artist when I am well) and of course I also build Sims 3 lots!

Some additional interests of mine include fashion, landscaping, architecture, sociology, anthropology, psychology and communications-based fields such as PR (I am a HUGE fan of Kelly Cutrone the owner of fashion PR company People's Revolution).

Aside from having always wanted to be either a professional painter or musician, I have always had an interest in becoming a fashion designer. So we'll see how it turns out. I may already be 35, but I've been looking into college programs such as the Fine Arts program at UCLA because it's never too late to enjoy life! Right?

A hello to everyone! - and an introduction to the sense of it all

Blog post by Triple f added May 31, 2013 | 0 comments

So, this is my first blog post. Let's see into what this will turn - this blogpost and this account. So let me introduce you to my plans, my creations etc. :)

My plans, the sense of it all and what I'm going to do:

 

  1. I want to make lots of clothes. I mean, many many many clothes. ;) 
  2. But I don't want to make only some clothes, clothes you can find everywhere. I don't want to create normal clothes - a bow here and some glitter there. I'm not a big fan of that. My clothes will be straight-lined, simple and beautiful.
  3. I want to make this account a famous one. I know, it's the dream of everyone on TSR, but I don't want to do that to be only famous - I think this is ridiculous - I want to reach this aim for showing to everyone: look! You don't need stupid sayings, you don't have to put black-white girls on a t-shirt, make their lips pink and - boom! - you've got a cool shirt. Isn't that mind- and meaningless? I want to make everyone believe that clothes aren't just pieces of textiles on which you could make designs showing that you give a shit on the sense of the sayings and slogans, of the motives and pictures which are printed on them. I think that clothes have to fit, look amazing and make you feeling good. For this, in my opinion, clothes have to be simple. Simple, without lots of lettering. Simple, without lots of pictures. So simple, that you only need one look to understand what they want to show.
  4. I will make product lines, radical-against-many-bows-lines, anti-teddy-bears-on-night-suit-lines, things like that. But I won't make real anti-lines, I'll just give them funny names and make some good-looking clothes (at least, I'm hoping they'll look good). ;)
  5. I will do my very best to create high-quality clothes. But since I'm a beginner, it will take a lot of time to make such clothes. And I've no idea how long that will be, but I hope only some weeks.
I think that's everything for the begin, maybe there's someone reading this post. :) And maybe there's someone agreeing with me, liking my idea or just my clothes (if I've already uploaded some). 

So, bye for now. :)

Hugs, Triple f
