Taking a break

I recently found my old Sims I Complete Collection discs and got to missing Sims the way they used to be. So I have uninstalled all (will probably hunt the downloads again later) but Double Deluxe (I will be using my defaults for eyes, skin, and makeup but just got to overwhelmed with to many downloads so got rid of furniture, hair objects for now. I am going to play with my sims I discs for a few weeks or months until Sims 3 comes out. I haven't played I since I first got Double Deluxe so it will seem almost like a new game. No rush to meet career and personal goals within a 29 day limit - no whining about college or wanting to own a pottery wheel or other things that seem to much like real life just plain old fashioned honest to God simming for a few weeks YAY!!! I will play and reminisce about the days when I could kill my sims off without feeling guilgy and never had to deal with a " HAVE TEN CHILDREN !!!!!!!!" LTW.

Probably will eventually re-install at least IKEA and H&M stuff and  download more stuff of course, the subscription is currently for 6 months and Sims 3 won't be out til June. I just don't feel like dealing with the overwhelming downloads folder right now - especially my hairs were getting out of control. Maxis hairs suckminimally in comparison to skin, eyes and makeup (at least in 2) but I am far to addicted to pretty hair and given the choice I would rather have pretty skin and eyes. At least with Ikea and H&M back in I can grab the H&M Sets by Bunny abnd Lisa86 and all of the IKEA stuff by Mutske, Shakeshaft, and so on. But first I wanna go play with the Goth family and renew my acquintance with the Newbies etc the way they used to be before EAXIs borked their genetics and their storylines.

First lot accepted

Well I have finally had my first lot accepted for TSR. It is a 3 bedroom family home in a late Colonial Style. It is a split level with attached garage. The lot I am working on now is a wedding park for lack of a better word. The screenies will also be submitted for Yard and Garden if done in time but, this is a Valentines theme lot and I want it to be perfect. It is close right now but, it really needs more flowers and I want to try and fiture out how to do some sort of roofing or something over the wedding area. i love creating gardens more than anything and really don't like the fancy or formal stuff so this lot will be kind of wild and overgrown. I intend to see how my first lot goes over first, and then I will try to get the wedding lot up and running. i was actually going to do an indoor chapel but the Maxis conical roofs are just stupid and the Conical Roof from Vitasims will not sit right so that one is out for now until i figure out a way to do things better. I think that I will also probably do some wallpapers and terrain paints as well. I had some ready to go but couldn't work out the bugs.

Working out Lots for upload

Well i have finally found a decent tutorial on the Clean Pack Installer. This means that I can work out some house design ideas for upload here. I also finally figured out how to do the split levels. Such fun. I just really hope that I can create what I see in my mind, Maybe - draw it out on paper.

Cleaning out the downloads folder so my computer has room for sims 3

Two weeks until sims 3. I have been working on cleaning out the downloads folder to make room. So all hairs, makeups, clothing, and objects that I don't use are now gone. I have my maxis matching add-on sets, and a few favorite hairs from nouk, peggy and raon as well as a few sets like the al superset for teens and the hm summer and autumn collections and that is it. It needed cleaning out anyways since I had a stupid amount of downloads that I did not use.
