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 have recently changed my username from casmn to Victorian Carly.

"casmn" is the username I created years ago when I was just a downloader. However, a year ago I decided to start creating lots. Since then it has been brought to my attention that my username was difficult to remember, and it was not easy to find my page again on TSR. So, in response, I have recently changed my username to something that will better represent the theme of my lots. Hopefully it will be much easier to find and remember now.

In case you had ever wondered what the heck a casmn is, it is not really a name, but it's also not an object, concept or creature. It's not anything, really. No wonder it wasn't memorable. "casmn" is actually the 3 initials that represent my full name, CAS, plus MN for Minnesota (the state I live in).

In real life my name is Caroline, but I go by the nickname, Carly, online. Also, for anyone who did not know what gender a casmn is, and couldn't tell what it was from my avatar, this might clear up some confusion. Haha—sorry about that!

And O-M-G! I personally think this is the best expansion ever! Houseboats, mermaids, boats, Diving!!!!

I had the chance to try out the new expansion and I had loads of fun with this.You will be able to own a houseboat and actually Drive the houseboat. Diving Sims and mermaids! You will also have the new ability to own and use more than one property!! The ability to make houses on water...Thepossibilities will be endless!

There will be nw lifetime wishes!

Resort Empire- Own a five star resort and collect 40,000 simoleans

Seaside Sailor - Rescue 50 Sims as a lifeguard

Deep Sea Diver - Master the dive skill, earn 40,000 simoleans ifrom selling diving collectables

New lifetime happiness rewards are also available

Friend of the Kraken 30,000

Mermadic Kelp  25,000 ----->unlocks new reward Permanent Mermaid

Uncharted Island Map 25,000

Lungs of Steal  15,000

Hotel Mogul  15,000

Strong Stomach  2,000

Some of the sims will get sea sick on the boats and boat houses but not to worry! You can send households in different places and still play them. I sent my seasick sim to a resort where he enjoyed the day while the rest of the family went fishing off the houseboat.`

Loads of new items to play with and so many new things for our simmies to do. House boats ... vacation homes...mermaids...diving...snorkling...boats...windsurfing...and much more!

Be sure to check out TSR's Steve for more about this wonderful new expansion from EA!

   I've been creating all my work using the mouse. It's very hard but as you can see, it can be done. ;-)  Still healing from the car wreck, but trying to work on some items that I've had that needs completion. Have a couple of those left. But think its time for an upgrade on my system and maybe a tablet. So once Im able I'll be out shopping for those items. Think it will make a big difference in creating the textures as it will be easier to draw and much better quilty that way. Not to mention that my dinosour's (computer)graphic card his having the hardest time pushing the game and other programs graphics. So with fingers crossed, I'm hoping to get them within the next two weeks. Thank you to all those who sent well wishes! hugs!!

It's been ages since I went on here. Can't believe people still create stuff for the sims 2. It makes me happy since I just bought two expension packs cheap. Makes me wonder if I should create some more walls and floors. I actualy think I still have some unshared stuff.

Q. Can you ulpoad textures froym Paint to TSR for custom objects? 

My idea is to create a special buffet table- you know- but with different food! Can you draw different food onto paint and upload it? Please help!

Thanks! Comment to help!

Hello:  For years I have been downloading lots of wonderful free custom content from TSR to use in my game.  Now that my neighborhoods are fully developed, it's time to returning my favors to TSR by contributing my creations here for other people to use in their games.  I hope that the sims 2 will never go out of fashion and that people will continue to play sims 2, because there are still a lot of things to be created for the sims 2 game.  Playing the game is very fun, but creating can be as fun.  It is the custom content that makes the game perfect.

Strange event just occurred.   I had finished composing a Blog post on my recent pattern activities and why I've been using the TSR Workshop . . and when I tried to save the content, I had a full screen change with one of those - type in the words to prove you are human - sort of things and words to the effect that something in my post had triggered a safety response on the website and I would have to make sure my computer/mobile was clean before I could return      

HUH?  My computer is probably as 'clean' as it's ever going to get.   I don't use bad language, I don't abuse anyone or copy/paste stuff from anywhere.  Everything I wrote was done on the fly  and wasn't contentious in the least - so I wonder why this happened.   

What it did do was kill my post and since it was quite a long one and I don't have the time right now to revisit the subject . . .  I'll just have to wonder what some other computer, somewhere, thought I"d done.

See ya again when I get the chance.

Marg

 . . . well, that's sooner than expected.   The same thing occurred with this post - so I did the word :challenge: and asked for admission . .  and here I am again.  The plot thickens.

Hello everyone! I submitted my latest work up its pending atm, here is what it is! Her name is Nina Yen, I hope you guys like it! Oh i almost forgot dont claim her as your own please, it would be much appreciated if you mention me for the credit. That copyright terms :3 Thank you! <3

Hallo everybody,

Believe me, I know. My story isn't finished. But I have good excuses. This past school year has been so crazy! I just finished my hardest courses, and then right after finals, I flew off to Germany. I'll be living here for 3 months. In spite of having to learn a new language and still doing research, I have more time on my hands than before (like I said, crazy school year!) My other excuse is that my game runs really, really slow on my laptop, and so I didn't want to bother with it for awhile. After freeing some space on my hard drive, though, I think I can start writing on Mastermind again! I can't promise that it will end soon or that my writing will be consistent, but I do promise that I will do the best I can with the time I have! Thanks everyone who's visited my page to read my stories and leave such lovely comments. It really is great to have a creative outlet and even better to be appreciated for it! I can't wait to read everyone else's stuff, too. Auf Wiedersehen!

My initially plan was to make a list of creator names for all the CC i use. But i can now see that the list is growing way to rapidly so instead i will have to just thank all of the wonderful creators on TSR. If it wasnt for you i wouldnt be able to create my beloved Sims, so from the bottom of my heart i thank you all :wub:

I finally finished working on my fisrt set. Its set of 5 summer tops for women. I hope you like it :)

This is the preview image :)

Hi there !

Since a few days I can't make any other custom content ... because i've a new computer ! It is beautiful with its white design. I'm using Origin to download and install again all my Sims 3 games ... and it's not quick. Today is my birthday. I don't plan to do anything. Sad, isn't it ? But i'm fine. I think I will work again on custom content this afternoon.

It was Yuu!~ ♥

Hi there,

I know I promised to create more this year, but unfortunately it's just impossible for me at the moment. I don't even have time to check my fb page, so I'll probably just delete it.

I have final exams this forthcoming month, so I will have even less time then.

But I promise I'll be back with new stuff in July!

(hope i won't be retired by then lol)

Kate

Thank you SO much!! <3 60,000 downloads reached after two months!!

I was like "WHY?!" when I saw all the new stuff that apparently was downloaded to Create A Sim for The Sims™ 3 on my computer. Dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes and diverse accessories were to find, but this new stuff was just downloaded (?) for young adults. It has never happened before, eventhough my TS3 is acting really weird at times. I guess it just wasgood bad luck, because the new stuff wasn't that ugly either. I really love the new hairstyles, actually.

But

still

I

don't

get

it

>.<

Oh, wow, my first 100,000 downloads!! Been creating about a year now and I didn't ever imagine I'd get even to this number! And it's been so much fun! Thanks everyone for downloading my stuff and for all your encouragements and comments! I love creating for the Sims so there'll be more to come!

Making this island (and the countertop) proved challenging. I have a level of quality I like to stand by and these were no easy task. Lots of fiddly bits. I chose not to make the island free standing as I was inspired by a piece from Ung999 and the way it functioned in using east and west partitions. I feel it compliments the counter top perfectly and hope you all agree.

I am not even sure anyone visits my site anymore, but just in case... it has been a CRAZY year! We are getting to the end of rebuilding our home. It has taken SO long because we have done all the work and designing ourselves. It is becoming a thing of beauty. I have not given up on creating, but I have not had time to do much with my game. I have a couple of lots that I plan to submit when I get Adobe installed on my new computer...FINALLY a new computer (that was also a drawback to creating)! Money was tight and my computer was getting old and insanely slow for running the Sims 3. This one should be good even when the Sims 4 gets released next year. My husband is building it for me himself (he is good at that techy stuff). Oh yea, I also got married this year, we have been together for years, but we finally tied the knot and made it official. If it is possible to upload personal photos on here, I will try to get some posted of our home. I am sorry life has forced me to become self-absorbed the past few years. I miss everyone, but I was getting overwhelmed trying to keep up with comments and creating things. While in reality I was also designing, contracting, budgeting, painting, staining, puttying, etc. on my actual home (not to mention raising 3 teenage boys). Turns out that is MUCH easier to do in Sims Build/Buy mode lol. Hope all is well with everyone. Happy Simming and hope to see you soon.

So i have now puplished 5 Sims and more is coming. Every time im done with the actual build of the Sim, i find myself asking: more or less CC? So my question is when you download a Sim do you prefer that i find Custom clothes, accessories and shoes or do you prefer vanilla content and dress the Sim yourself?

Thanks in advance and have a lovely weekend :D

wel hi there! i'm planning to write a story. but i'm not sure what to make it about. so yeah i need to think about that first..... and i have to see if i can have free time to make it (too busy with school stuffs, right now i have to make 5 projects for june X_X) so anyways :)

God bless you guys!

I'm going to start being a bit more active with my posts and stuff on TSR. I'm finally getting some freetime because its summer vacation. (Maybe a little too much free time, lol.) 

So anyway, I'll be alot more active with posting screenshots, commenting, and just blogging in general.

Thank you! Have a wonderful day, loves.

-Abby. Muuaahhhh (:

Hi there !

Those days i'm working on several terrain paints. Don't know why but I love making these ! So actually i'm available to hear your requests about terrain paints. Soon I'll upload lots of terrain paints and I hope you'll enjoy my work !

Another thing, that is not about Sims 3. Well, I think we can considered that like a Sims 3 things all the same. 27th May it'll be my birthday, and guess what ? I'll have a new computer ! It'll be better to do work on the game. It'll be better even for all, I guess. Maybe would I try to do a special birthday photo shooting.

It was Yuu!~♥

today in oklahoma a possible ef5 tornado hit the town of moore oklahoma and yesterday the town of shawnee oklahoma. i ask everyone for their prayers for the people in these areas. i am an okie the weather people are saying that this is as worse if not worse than the tornados in 1999. also 2 elementary schools were hit along with a hospital. so i ask again that you pray for these people in these areas thank you.

So my first Sim out of twelve is now up for download. I am so excited about the project and the next Astrology Sim is already uploaded and pending atm. I really enjoy creating them and cant wait to share more of them with you.

Anyways i hope you like and have a great day :D

I've been wanting to submit a lot ever since joining TSR, but for various reasons (spoiler alert: perfectionism with a not-great attention span) I often find myself with almost-finished projects rather than anything I am willing to actually share. 

Simming for me is a way to de-stress after a busy day, a way to indulge my creative side, a channel for all the interior ideas I see during my (many) daydreaming decor website browsing sessions... even a comfort. Of course, I don't have to explain the feeling of making, building, buying, CAS-ing... you all know just what I mean. :D

Recently, I had a lightbulb moment. What if I focused my efforts on a partly furnished lot instead? A lot that had everything in place, but was ready to be customised by anyone who wanted to use it? 

And so, that is how it came to be that right this very moment, there is a lot uploading in my filestorage. I made it over the weekend, and I had to do 3 rounds of testing before I got just the right screenshots to use for images.

The first test Sim I used at random was an insane witch I made ages back, who went straight to the spa room and proceeded to have a mud bath... fully clothed. Needless to say, those screenshots didn't make the cut - aside from her dirty laundry all over the floor, the insane vibe was so not what I was going for. ;) 

The next test, I used a (possibly average) couple, and as the guy was flirty, they stayed in the foyer while he delivered cheesy lines all on his own. I messed up those images though, by only reading the screenshot requirements AFTER resizing. Oops! 

The third and final test however, was just right. I used the same couple, they stayed out of the way (you can just about see them over-sleeping one morning in the floor plan pics) and the result was just what I wanted. 

If all goes to plan, 56 Lookout Peak should be up soonish. Hopefully, at least someone will like it. ;) 

Rox

P.S. I really also have to thank the artists here at TSR. You are all awesome, but wanted to give special thanks to SIMcredible, Pralinesims, Flovv, Jomsims, Shinokcr and Devirose for inspiring me with their beautiful things. 

If you don't have all the EP listed for my houses you can still download them. The game will automatically replace the missing objects by base game objects and even keep their colors whenever possible.

I have been bugged by the lack of hair information; or description. Such as the hair polycount, how inconsiderate of the hair creators to not even post it. This is crucial as us that download hair have a right to know. You don't want to be downloading such great looking hair but when running the game it will lag or even slow down the game pretty bad. I have tried to ask the so callled Newsea to at least put in the description how much polycount there is, and no response, even in Skysims(if memory serves it was in there too.) But no response; it seems to me that they just want downloads and get promoted. I will not be downloading hairs anymore from here; and I havent ever since I noticed that there's no description of how much polycount there is. There's tons of other creators out there that will describe if hairs are either high, medium and low poly. People it's not worth messing up or even slowing down your comp/laptop. You should keep yourselves informed in things like this.

Hey there people! My name is Jannette and I'm 14 years old. So I have been on The sims resource for almost over 2 years and I never ever uploaded any CC. So I thought I will today! (Today Date: 19/05/13)

Sites where you can visit me!!

My Blog!  <-- Here you will find all sorts of stuff about me, my life, how I am, interests. If you like me, you'd wanna go there! ^_^

My Sims 2 Blog!!! <--- Honestly, I'm not gonig to upload every single piece of my CC in TSR, so this is my exclusive sims 2 blog where you can browse CC for your game!! Follow my POLICY!

angeljannette <--- This was where all the magic began! My youtube account! It has a ton of my sims 2 videos, and links. I have collabs series, special sims where you won't find anywhere else, not even my sims 2 blog!! And you get to know more about me, what I like and dislike. Also, you can chat to me on my youtube account, i would love you meet you!

i have other accounts for examples in mod the sims, but that's valueless. I have not uplaoded any cc in there and no intention to either. 

I hope you like my custom content, please feel free to messgae me if there is anything wrong with the downloads so I can fix it! Thanks!

Hi there !

I'm proud to say I've been working hard their 2 days ago to learn how to use TSRW, and now I know how to create patterns and make-up. Yeah, this isn't a professionnal work, at least i'm just a newbie, but I hope you enjoy my work.

It was Yuu!~ ♥

a new livingroom

btw... uploaded a petite dinging room at my tumblr account

You that feelling when you get something you really, really wanted, unexpectedly? That's exactly how I'm feelling right now. I just can't believe I ACTUALLY FOUND Hurricane's game files! It's just... it was right in front of my nose the whole time! Well, apparently those who say that you'll only find something you're really looking for when you're not looking for it are (sorta) telling the truth.

That new story I was intending to write while Hurricane was still disappeared is going to be on a standby state, as Hurricane decided to show itself to the world now, but I've got some plans for it once I finish what I was already doing.

This whole situation taught me a terrifying lesson the hard way and, from now on, I'm going to be extremely cautious towards every single file. It is as they say -- you can never completely trust machines...

Cátia

I've set most of my items TSRAA: Yes

That means you can include my creations on your sim/lot uploads

on TSR! But please do not upload them elswhere, including thesims3 exchange!

Thank you!
