Hello everyone
Hi everyone, I thought that I would make my first post on my blog and introduce myself, finally. I am Caitlin, as you already know, and I have been playing the sims since the sims 2 first came out. I immediatly was hooked on building houses but I never got around to sharing any of them. So now I am trying to do that with the sims 3.
As of now I have nearly 6,000 downloads and I am thrilled that you guys like my houses so much. I love all the awesome comments that you guys have and so far no problems, knock on wood.
Well I really hope that you guys continue to enjoy playing my houses.
Thanks
Story Part 3
Hey everyone, Part 3 of my new story will be finished tomorrow and I think its accepted in the next week.
There are two new important characters in this Chapter.. A good girl and a bad girl ;)
You will read more when the story is here on TSR. But now I show you the bad girl called Dollface. Its the second picture with the blonde haired girl.
Nice day, Guslucky

I've got a Problem!!!
I'm stuck (again!), I don't know whether this is a glitch that is being experienced by anyone else, but it's only started since having the new stuff pack installed....
For some reason my sim is catching fire from traps that have been disarmed already!!
She can't get past the already disarmed trap, she can't get past the flaming trap because a)she's too scared b)she's ready to pass out because she's so tired because I've trying this for so long....
I'm going to keep trying until I can think of a solution!! Ahh, I could zeneport over ;-) but that would require a couple of hours she doesn't have..not sure if she can die from a severe lack of sleep (I got an eye twitch once from severe lack of sleep :-D)...
Plus, because she wants to pass out everytime because she's getting burnt so much (i've tried 7/8 times now) she keeps walking onto that trap, because SHE thinks its been disarmed and then gets burnt again...I'm flummoxed!!
Multipliers with photos - and glass!
I promised I wouldn't update, but you probably realise I am weak on promising so I shan't even bother apologising.
I have added two great new pieces to the tute. Firstly, how to use extracts of real photographs to make the best Multipliers ever, using Multipliers to reduce polycounts(!), and also how a couple of simple black and white 
lines make amazing fabric details thanks to Apple (and all within reach of the total newbie who hates painting anything).
Secondly, we have an entire new section on making glass objects, which includes mention of all the glass shaders at your disposal, how you should map glass for undistorted reflections, and the perfect settings for realistic looking translucent glass (thanks to Shino&KCR).
And if you missed the last update, a totally rewritten section on Speculars!
HeLp !
Hello Everyone ! I need help ! I want to invite my friend on TSR, cause I don't have any friend here, and she really loves sims... And I want to surprise her with this site ! Hope any of You eply in the comments ! ~AnGy~

Wall Art: Meet the Bands
A good friend of mine suggested this for the Sims 3, and I think it's a splendid idea. Making band posters for your Sims! I'll be making a wide variety, but if there's a band you adore and want a poster of, let me know!
Here are a few bands that will show up in the first set:
- All-American Rejects
- Coldplay
- Good Charlotte
- Lifehouse
- Yellowcard
:rah:

Friday...why must you come so slowly?
Today...well it was a short one thankfully. One class at 8:30 that seems to drag on into the next year. I was hoping I could sleep the rest of the day away, but of course not. It seems that no one needs or wants me until I'm cranky, have a headache, deprived of caffeine, and tired beyond belief. My phone rang 5 times (all calls from the same person) and I 15 text messages in the span of 10 minutes. Needless to say the crappy thing got turned off. However, I believe I missed the call that I was looking forward to getting and if I didn't well screw you too Di Dio!!!!!
Tomorrow I head back home to my small rural town and away from this trash heep they call Raleigh. Yeah that's right Raleigh, if you've had the pleasent experience of not visiting this place then good for you! I hate it. There's nothing to do here for those like me, and unfortunately my best friend happens to be a party goer and if I want to see her I end up in places I never wanted to be. But on the best note of all is that when Friday gets here I have nothing to do BUT go home! WOOT! A full exciting (yeah right) 2.5 to 3 hour drive with my father of all people. Love him to death but sitting in the truck with him for that long is awkward. I can handle it though, I hope, because I'm really ready to see the apples of my eye. I went home last week and since I would be doing so again I had to leave them there...I really miss my babies. And before someone gets the wrong idea, my babies happen to be a C4 strain albino rat and one of the most retarded fancy hamsters you've ever come across. Of course they're not my only babies because I do have a foal sized dog that has slowly become more of my fathers than mine. I guess spending 4 years away can do that.
On a funny note my brother is trying to steal my boyfriend away from me....don't ask. It's true though. They spend more time together than I get to spend with either of them.
Welp it's back to cleaning so I don't come back to nasty surprises (such as cockroaches).
P.S. Thanks peachy and I hope you get your break cause I believe that you need it more than the new girl understands.

I hope to resume making items for The Sims when time permits =)

I Decided To Finish The Competition Early And The Winner Is Paramore.
Even Though Greenday Has More Downloads, I Decided To Judge It On How Much The Fans Of The Band Wanted It. And I Got A Hell Of Alot More People contact me about Paramore (in Private Mail Aswell) than greenday. Sorry to anyone who wanted greenday stuff. There might be some greenday stuff later down the line...
Hope you enjoy the items.

Random Dribble
As fun as it all may seem to the party animals that live above me, the loud music that shakes this apartment building is starting to rub my nerves raw. Sometimes it's disturbing to live on the bottom floor in an apartment complex devoted to students, college students at that, where noise violations are cast aside or used as tp for the heck of it.
Aside from my mini rant, believe me you don't want me to get started, today has been uneventful. I had a Psych test this afternoon that bored me to tears and managed to not be molested in anyway upon one of our lovely city buses. However, when I was walking back to my hermit hole in this prison system I noticed two things. A) I smelled strangely of feet and the hot chocolate scented lotion I used earlier and B) I was being growled at by a 5 lb. ball of fluff otherwise known as a toy Poodle, whom the owner of happened to be tuggin on the leash as if they were having a hard time controling it. I have always wondered if others ever have a day like the ones I seem to have when I least want them, but of course that answer is yes.
So, to make myself feel somewhat relieved after opening the door to my humble, I mean seriously humble, abode to find my roomie's lovesick puppy (one of her male friends) sitting on my futon, playing my playstation, eating our food, and drinking her drinks for her "all day on campus" days while she was gone (insert deep calming breath here), I decided to indulge and make a cake. Of course, being the glutton I am I ate more of the batter than is normal and the cake is more of a brownie, but it's still fudgey and chocolate. Now, as I sit here waiting for it to cool enough to put icing on it, cause it ain't cake if there isn't any icing, I find myself desperately wishing for my upcoming spring break to be a month long instead of the pitiful week that I actually get.
With that out and in the open I feel better, but in the wake of having to get up at 6:00 am so I can once again ride the city bus to my anatomy and physiology class there is only so much better one can get. May you all have a goodnight (or good day) and continue in this cycle we call living.
P.S. If you happen upon my page please understand that there is really no need for you to worry yourself with reading my blog. I'm doing this for cathartic purposes only since I see no reason for anyone to wander onto my page, seeing as I have no creations for them to enjoy. Thank you.
It's Almost Ready!
Hi y'all!
College, final exams, and a pesky head cold have delayed the uploading of my next Sims 3 set, which is "bits and pieces" of Regency styled furnishings. I just finished the last object for the set; it's a decorative arrangement of roses in a bowl. I couldn't publish the set without something nice to place in the center of the dining room table, lol! I hope *crosses fingers* to upload the set very soon.
Here are a few screenies...
Happy Simming, Carolyn
Building Basement Stairs Through a Foundation
You can build a World Adventures basement under a house with a foundation that is accessible. What you need to do is delete at least 5 squares of the foundation, place a set of small stairs from the foundation to the bare ground, then go to the basement and place the stairs using the remaining ground squares, but make sure you leave one empty ground square for the transition between the two sets of stairs. You can place a floor tile on the empty ground square. Yours sims will pause at the transitional ground square, but it will work. If you can't get your sims to go to the basement, try clicking on the basement stairs and then "use stairs." I have some screenshots for a little more clarity:
Hey Everyone!
Just thought i would kick everything off with a quick blog entry!
I have used this site for a long time, but always just for downloads, so this time, I thought I would actually share some of my creations/screenshots/stories, with everyone else.
I really want to be able to create furniture and clothing but I don't have Milkshape and you only get it free for a month, so I suppose I will jsut have to stick to paintings, lots and sims. Although, I think way to many paintings are available, because it's all anyone can do and half of them are just really cruddy.
I have tried doing some patterns before but something always goes wrong. I don't know why!
Anyway, I am only really posting this so my Blog Pod wasn't empty. I'll write again when I have something worthwhile to say!

Floors 4 You
Hi all, its been a long time since I last posted anything in here... So here goes... Just letting you all know about my new range of wooden floors they will be callled 'Floors 4 You' for Sims 2. I will be doing four sets of four seamless floor tiles in each wood.. The first wood set will be in Maple Wood. They will be in various patterns and styles to suit all. Please free to make comments and offer suggestions for types of wooden flooring you would like.
WOOT! My First object!!
Wow! I did it!! A zillion thanks to Ricci for all her help! And, of course for the wonderful meshing tutorial! And a huge thank you to Cyclonesue and Sim_man both... if it wasn't for Ricci, I'd still be stuck trying to figure out how to make a multiplier. And, if not for Sim_man's tut on baking, I'd still be stuck! And, of course, Sue, for her part of the tutorial, without which I'd not know what the heck a specular is, why I need it, and just WHAT is an RGB mask!! LOL Without these three fine folks, and Ricci's hand-holding and walking me down the right path... I don't think my wee brain would have absorbed the process! I'm a FAR cry from their skill, but hopefully with some practice I'll get a little closer! :D
I'm back
first off apologies to anyone who's comments or messages i've seemed to ignore, computer problems have kept me offline for awhile now. I am now completely back up, so i should have new items available soon.
more creations???
So i'm thinking about making houses here and there. I built one house that i thought was pretty cute and wanted to upload so i could bring it here, but the problem is i have sims living there and it wants to upload both of them, and i just want the house. Can someone explain house to get the houses to uploaded here. if not i'll have to find someone thats really good and ask them in a private msg. =D thank you!

Building my dream Sims 3 house
Well, seeing as how I am not winning the lottery, I thought I would create my dream house in the Sims 3 in the meantime!
I'm using the 64x64 plot currently occupied by the park in Sunset Valley. My house will have :
1st floor : living room, dining room, kitchen with breakfast bar and walk in pantry, gym, pool house, games room, library, music room, study, laundry room, conservatory
2nd floor : 12 ensuite bedrooms, each with bathroom, washroom and walk in closet.
Outside : detached garage to house two cars, with workshop and storage room. Zen garden, lake, covered terrace and patio area. Flower garden and a secret garden.
Basement : wine cellar, three museum rooms (one for France, Egypt and China), art gallery and photo gallery (to house the photos my sim takes).
I'll post screenshots as and when I can, to let you know how the house is progressing.
Many thanks to all the designers/creators on TSR, if it wasn't for them my beautiful dream home wouldn't be possible!!

Exciting New Collaboration
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to keep you up to date with some new developments. Porkypine (from MOD) has offered to create some exciting new historical meshes. You can see the proposed projects here: http://www.modthesims.info/member.php?u=429491
I hope you are all as excited as I am :)
2 millions?
Even I have given a looong break to creating, I am still checking whats going on.And I am so grateful to you, I appreciate all the things you did to me, all the compliments you left on my creations :)
I hope I might find some a looong time so I can start to create, again.
Take care of yourselves have a great day :)
And I updated it already!
I can't leave anything alone. I have updated my tutorial ALREADY! The download is available on this page (look for the "Download PDF" link at the bottom).
After chortling heartlessly at many more people's mistakes with Speculars (two mistakes of which I confess I've also made), I decided on a swift rewrite of that entire chapter.
If you believe any of these (and some are more 'wrong' than others), then I urge you to at least read that section of the guide because you're getting it either slightly or massively wrong! It's short, and will save you being ridiculed at parties should speculars come into conversation (speculars being typical party conversation)...
I've completely rewritten the Sepcular section based on some of the things I've been hearing because there are a lot of us out here who have made these same assumptions. I've used better pictures to show how it works, and removed all that nonsensical repetition too. I've added a new myth-buster section to explain what's wrong with some of the aforementioned assumptions, and I've also updated a few other sections with additional tips too.
I apologise if you wasted a stupid amount of green ink by printing the previous version. I have no plans on any further updates.
Meshing (agen!)
I've just downloaded the 2 "Object Creation" tutorials (Beginners Guide to Meshing & Textures) and I'm gona (try) to learn meshing. Hope it won't take me too long.
Was just wondering if anyone would like me to post them on TSR or if anyone has any ideas for anything I could make (nothing too hard please :D) Then post a comment
Thanks, Reece
Meshing
I'm thinking about starting to learn meshing. I've found some pretty good tutorials in the tutorials section here on TSR. Might have a go after I get home from school. But till then
Cya!! (heading off to school now :()
CAS ISSUES?
OK guys I've finsihed like a couple of sims creation but when I export my sim as a .sims3pack it appears with a tiny, golden lock on the icon. It's weird! Does any one of you have the same issue or it's just me? I first thought it was a household type but was a wrong guess. Then I thught it has that lock because it is like 23 MB?! I CAN'T UPLOAD MY CREATIONSSSSSS TO TSR! and I already address this issue to support center and nothing...ANY IDEAS PPL?
