FoMD Living Room Set

Thanks to Cyclonesue the living room set is almost done and ready to be uploaded. I just want to get the first three pictures for the living room done. Once that is done then I'll be able to start putting together the upload package. In the end it took cloning the loveseat to get the frame recolor to take. That is really frustrating considering that the sofa and chair both took the frame recolor and fabric recolors easily. Anyway it's done and it works, it doesn't overwrite the original Maxis loveseat. In fact now the recolor shows up as an original work and under the Baroccoco Loveset. Go figure.

FoMD Walls Approved

The first set of interior walls for the Flowers of May Day series have been approved. They will come out on the 6th along with the second build set. I've got a second interior wall set uploaded along with two different sets of floors. The living room set needs only one piece and it will be done. For some reason my loveseat doesn't seem to be taking the frame recolor. Once I've got that fixed then we'll be all set to go with the living room. I warn you I haven't even started the kitchen and I'm coming down with something that knocks you off your feet for about a week, 2 in some cases. So don't expect to see the kitchen soon unless I'm just desperate to find a distraction from my misery.

FoMD Build Set 2

The second set of build objects for the Flowers of May Day series will be published on Sunday. The set has seven pieces thanks to Atwa and Spaik who helped me find the fences and opened a whole lot of other pieces for me in SimPE. Also again thanks to Cyclonesue for her tutorial on creating modular stairs. So in this set you'll find 3 half walls with mint, peach and light violet toppers and glass. Two fences, one peach concrete poured privacy wall and one wood railing in a peachy beige to use for porches, balconies and decorative yard railing. The gate in a peachy beige and the modular stairs. The first set of indoor wall paper is pending but hasn't been approved yet. It should be soon I'm sure. As soon as it is I'll post here in my blog. Ja Ne!

Thank You's to Cyclonesue...

for her Modular stair tutorial. She already cured my fear of downloading them and installing them with her installation tutorial. With the help of this latest tutorial I learned how to make my own set of modular stairs. I think this is one of the best things I've learned so far because stairs are one of the things that I've dispaired over because the selection can be rather limited color wise. Granted after reading Cyclonesue's tutorial I downloaded a number of new modular stairs to help eliminate that problem. But this will give me so much more freedom when it comes to my building. And hey I'm always willing to share. ;p

Loads and Loads of Thanks...

To Atwa and Spaik for their help in finding the more advanced objects in SimPE the other day! Thanks to them the rest of the Flowers of May Day Build objects will be done. So there will be a delay on the next set, but only because now that I was able to do the recolors for a fence and railing set, I want to make a set of matching Modular stairs. Thankfully Cyclone Sue whose wonderful tutorial walked me through installing modular stairs which scared the frick out of me also has a tutorial for creating them. I'm looking forward to the challenge, as soon as they are done and working properly I'll get the next build set out for the Flowers of May Day house. After that it will just be finishing the furniture and paintings. I'm so not looking forward to the kitchen stuff, because I think it's ruining my eyes the work is so detailed. But I promise there will be matching appliances for everyone to work with.

Flowers of May Day

The first set from the Flowers of May Day series has been approved and will be published on April 2nd. This is the main build set basically. I will have a couple more pieces that I originally wanted in it, but that had to wait. I really do want this to be a set where you can pretty much build from the ground up and furnish all in the same series. Hopefully everyone will like it!

A New Day....

A new banner. I didn't like the pink in the background especially since I decided to stick with the basic blue from TSR. I like this one much better. I do love it when a plan comes together. ;p I'm happy with the mini-site now. It's got everything I need and what I wanted too. I'll keep it updated just like I did the other. I'll be glad when I get my downloads file cleaned up and can play again a little. I want some knew screenshots for my screen shots section. ^____^

AH Completed, Flowers of May Day Started...

The last three sets of the Autumn Harvest Series have been published for download. They are the Chestnut Dining Room, Bath and Bedroom. I'm sad and yet glad to let it go. There is so much more I could do for it but I know that would be overkill. Anyway, it was time for Autumn to end and Spring to begin.

Yeah after all that talk of not doing a spring set I did it anyway. The Build set that I've made is under the featured items right now. It's not been submitted for approval yet but it should be in submission by next weekend.

This set is giving me headaches because I want to go all out and do different colors for the furniture etc. like I did for AH. On the other hand this series will have a lot of pieces that the AH set didn't have, including the doors and windows that I recolored for the build set. Anyway now that the first sets are in we'll see how the rest goes. Then I'll start thinking about some summer time home decor.

Oh and yes I will stop posting 3 and 4 updates a day to my blog, it's just nice to be able to do it without having to get rid of the last piece I wrote before I was really ready to.

Finished!... For Now... ;p

For the moment my mini-site is complete. I did finally go back to the TSR Basic color setting because it goes the best with my avatar picture and banner. Just in case the last blog entry I made really doesn't come through the last color I had decided on was the rosey pink which is a nice color frankly. It's just not my favorite, irregardless of the backgrounds on my Autumn Harvest previews pictures. I think for the Flowers of May Day preview picture backgrounds I'm going to set the blue I like and stick with it. I'll just change the color of the text to represent the colors of the series I'm working on. Ah I think I know what I did wrong. I'm so used to clicking the first action button at the bottom of the TSR pages to 'update' that I hit cancel instead of save. -_-;;

Finally, My Own Mini-site!

Well I've finally reached the point where I can have my own mini-site. I'm currently waiting on the email with instructions and thought I'd just type up this my first entry for the blog section. The poor site looks pretty sad at the moment but as soon as I get a look at the email for instructions then I'll fix it up properly. I'm really rather excited about this because now that I'm creating for Sims 2 I'm always doing little updates and stuff to talk about my new projects, what's been uploaded recently and what is about to be published for downloading. I hated having to take out old updates because then I never remembered what I'd talked about last or what I hadn't mentioned at all. So watch for changes to my page over the next few days as I get time to do things and make changes!
