Bits N Bobs

A few projects under way right now, lights and blinds. Still experimenting with things, seeing what can and cannot be done at this point. My favorite lights I made for TS2 are the ones below, just couldn't live without them *lol*

In the background of the preview below you can see the blinds I am working on that fit with the Panorama windows. Not 100% happy with them yet, but getting close ;-)

Playing Catch-Up

After a rather horrible end to 2009 and computer problems last month I am finally looking at creating for the Sims3, and thought a good, simple project to get comfortable with using the TSR Workshop would be to make TS3 versions of my Panorama windows set (so no one needs to ask about that anymore ;) ).

For now I'm just making 1, 2, and 3 tile versions of the windows and then some doors to match. Maybe in the future I'll do the never-ending ones, but I really want to move on to new ideas next.

August 'Free' Schedule et al

For August I am setting each of my 'floor edge' mesh sets to free for one week at a time.

02 to 09 - Victorian Set

08 to 15 - Basic Cap Set

15 to 22 - Modern Set

23 to 30 - V2 Flat Set

I have 2 new Sims2 sets in the works. One is full of experimentation, and so is taking quite a while. The other is just another fidgety one that takes a lot of going in and out of the game to get the positioning right, but I think I almost have it and so shouldn't be much longer (it is the sloped walls that someone requested).

For Sims3, I am still playing around with clothing while I wait to be able to make Objects. I have another lot almost finished, am just frustrated as usual with the limitations of the game (and can't wait to be able to figure out ways around them ;)  ). Anyways, I'm also playing around with some "Lovingly Destroyed" clothes *lol* that should be finished soon also.

July 'Free' Schedule

I have placed the following sets to be free in July on these dates:

1 - Subway Lighting (both base and AL)

8 - Subway Bench and Subway Trash Can

15 - Subway Floor and Subway Wall

23 - Subway Advertisement Light and Subway Grafitti

As for NEW sets, I have three in the works at the moment for Sims2:

- Recolor for the Gargoyle set in dark green marble.

- Frames for the Panorama window set like the ones I did for the Nile Dreams set.

- A solid wall type recolor/new mesh of the sloped Nile Dreams window. Haven't decided which looks better yet ;-)

Gargoyle Build Tips

Thought I would make this little guide for placing gargoyles on the corners of buildings with the drain pipes, as it may be a bit of a puzzle for some. :)

Teaser

Trying not to be too distracted by all the Sims3 excitement, lol. Some may remember me wanting to make a Gargoyle and actually getting started on it. Then, the great computer crash of 2008 happened and I lost what I had done and just couldn't start over at the time. Well, I've started over now. And in fact am almost finished!

I want to make some accesories of course, matching fencing, maybe a roundy corner thingy... :D

As for Sims3, my copy of the game hasn't come in the mail yet but I haven't let that stop me getting started creating for it! I have 4 original gothic style patterns ready to go once the TSR tool is released, whoot!

They Broke Me

I wanted to submit the Breezeway For Him recolors as one set with all four color/patterns. But due to my continuing submission/widard problems I've given in and broken them up into four individual recolor sets, *sigh*. So I will try and put them out either one each day or maybe two in one day if I have the time.

May Preview

So while TSR have been having their site issues I've continued working on various projects. I have about 6 now in varying states of just started to almost finished. This preview image shows two of the 'almost finished' projects, hehe *acts all mysterious*

I also have the first set of Breezeway For Him curtain ReColors ready to for release... whenever submissions works correctly again. There are 24 individual files in the set, so no way I'm doint them one at a time the old fashioned way, lol. I asked what colors people would want for recolors of the curtains and basically the answers I got were Neutrals and Manly. And since male Sims needs always get ignored I decided to start with a set the average bachelor Sim could appreciate. ;-)

Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to release those soon.

2 File Replacements

Panorama Windows Top/Middle Side Diagonal and Top/Bottom Center Diagonal files have been replaced after a problem was reported. Please re-download them and my apologies for any inconveniance.
