Happy Anniversary TSR!!

Congratulations TSR!!! 10 years! That is quite a feat that is not easily accomplished in these times. People don't stay around unless you are offering quantity, quality, and quick easy service. TSR does all of that and more, plus it is a fun place to hang out.

I'm proud to be here and I'm looking forward to the next 10 years!

Now a quick explanation of why I haven't submitted anything lately. My computer is good, my graphics card is not. Ha Ha Ha  Simple story...I need to be able to clearly see what I'm creating in order to know its quality. With Sims 3, because of the way the graphics are rendered I was having a difficult time seeing details. I have a new card on the way that is supposed to arrive on the 16th.

Once I install it I am going to take a little more time off to learn to mesh clothes and hair. These are my passions and I have lots of ideas in my head. I can no longer be satisfied with only recolors, I want some of my own original works above the simple alpha editing I've previously used.

Wish me luck! Hopefully I'll return with something interesting. Either way, I'll thoroughly enjoy the learning process and I'm sure I'll laugh at my many mistakes until they are correct. Until then you can catch me in the forum laughing about something.

Bye for now,
Sky

Just submitted my fist house :)

I'm not a builder but wanted to try my hand at building a house. I sat down and just put whatever popped into my head. Can you tell I like blue?  Ha Ha Ha. I'm just thrilled to have finished it. It may not be anyone's taste, which is fine. lol It is such a good feeling to finish what you have started.

It has been submitted and baring it getting rejected. lol Hopefully it will be available this week for download. :-D

 

Here is a picture.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson

I just wanted to say that. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Such a great talent gone forever. All three of my children were fans as well as my husband, and of course myself. There will never be another like him. The man influenced so many and his music crossed all countries, ages, and genres. I can't think of another global star today or in the past that can claim such a feat.

My condolences to Michael Jackson’s family and especially his children.

FinallyI have Sims 3 creations coming. :-)

 

I have finished several patterns and built my first house for Sims 3. I'm quite thrilled about this. I had such a chore getting my game to install. With the help of some wonderful TSR folks who helped me out in Chat. It was discovered that my DVD disc has some issues. I figured that had to be the problem after I bought a brand new drive and the game still would not install. After some wonderful instructions, I copied the DVD to my C: drive and ran the exe from there...Yes! It worked like a charm! I dashed back to Chat and gave out virtual hugs and many thanks.

Unfortunately, I still have not reinstalled my Sims 2. I plan on doing that over the weekend. I have some creations ready for that game as well. I haven't actually played Sims 3 yet. I've been too busy trying to get my first creations together. Ha Ha Ha! I even managed to make a self-Sim. lol

I have a huge grin on my face right now. Since all Sims3 submissions must be approved first, I'm not sure when they will be published. Only a couple of more tweaks for my lot and I'll submit all of them together.

Thanks for reading,

Installation issues

Hi :-), unfortunately when I tried to install my Sims 3 game the disc was not recognized. I did all sorts of maintenance on my PC trying to get ithe DVD drive running. In desperation I performed a complete Windows reinstall. Wouldn't you know my drive still won't work. Ha Ha Ha. Moreover all of my software and programs were of course removed. I do have backups of my Sims 2 and everything I deemed important.

Here is my main issue/problem...I  can not even reinstall my Sims 2 games. Nothing is being recognized. lol Just my luck. I will be purchasing another drive on Friday. Until then, there won't be any new updates either Sims 2 nor Sims 3. This is not fun. I am extremely anxious to play my Sims 3 but will also continue to create for Sims 2.

I guess that's it for now.

Real Cowboys part 2

I'd like to thank you all for your patience. I finally finished the long cowboy duster outfits. They took longer than anticipated because each was created with between 30 to 50 layers. I'm putting the final pictures together now. There are 4 dusters, a leather, suede, and two fabrics. All but one are black and have different boots and clothes. I hope you like them. I have many more in the cowboy collection coming for females and children. I'm also finishing up another lingerie set as well as working on some requested open shirts.

Oops! Unfortunately I'm unable to get a sample picture to display in this blog. I have put one in the gallery just to show what they look like. This will not be the picture used with my submission.

 

In case you were wondering

I haven't a clue if anyone ever reads my blog. Ha Ha Ha I have a couple of things to say. The first being, I love this place. You know it's funny...for the past 2 plus years I just sort of floated around, submitted when I could and talked with my friends here. Then the strangest thing happened. We were attacked, and then accused of attacking, and then I was accused of being a traitor...now that one hurt. :-(  It got me to thinking, did I really belong here? Several good friends left for various reasons. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I am honestly not aware of any of the things people are saying about TSR to be true. I only know that I've never had any problems. No one has ever asked me to do anything or say anything or even hinted at me writing anything to support this place.

So, I took a good long look within myself. Then I took a good hard look around TSR. You know what I discovered? A lot of caring, supportive, giving, gifted, brave people that happen to share a common hobby. These are hard working very talented people who have asked for nothing in return...not even a thank you. Now that's dedication. I look around the Sims community as a whole and see much the same thing. We all obviously love the Sims or we would not be here.

I don't hold any ill feelings towards anyone. I like people...even those who don't care for me. That's ok, because if you met me in person, we'd have a good laugh together. I know this because I've never met an enemy. :-) I get along with almost everyone and you'll never hear anything negative coming from me towards anyone. In the words of Rodney King "Can't we all just get along"? Ha Ha Ha I remember when he said that after the horrible riots in LA and I must have laughed for 10 minutes. After all the serious things that had happened in Los Angeles, California...the world waited...you could hear a pin drop...then "he" spoke. "Can't we all just get along"? Huh? What? Ha Ha Ha Ha! It was brilliant in its simplicity and hilarious!

Well, Sims Community...Can't we all just get along? (((HUGS))) I'm here to stay. I quite like being an SA. It is an honor.

Oh, I almost forgot the second thing I wanted to say! I’m working on several sets. Unfortunately I scrapped two of those sets because I didn’t like the way they turned out. So…back to the drawing board for them.  I should have two of the other sets up this week. In case anyone was wondering what's taking so long. Ha Ha Ha

Thanks for visiting my little blog.

This is interesting... :)

The new v7 has all sort of new bells and whistles. I'll have to get accustomed to them. I will post pictures of my latest lingerie for adults that I'm working on after I get them together.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each person who has downloaded my creations. I also want to thank everyone who has left comments. I’m still behind in showing my appreciation by letting you know in your guestbooks. I will eventually get to everyone. Thank you again.

I had a family emergency

Sorry about the lateness of new submissions. I had a family emergency and I'm just now returning. I have several items ready but need to get the pictures together. I would like to thank all of you who sent me such wonderful Christmas greetings. You guys are fantastic! Here is a picture of the first set being uploaded today.

I'm working on a Christmas sets

Hello, I'm so sorry about not updating for a while. I'm currently working on several Christmas related clothing as well as some cowboy outfits. Some sets will be uploaded this week. :)

I want to thank all of you wonderful people who have download my recolors. If I haven't replied to thank you for your comments please forgive me. I do several almost everyday but when I had gotten so far behind, it seems difficult to catch up with them. They are very much appreciated. :D
