100,000 Downloads

Victory is mine. Its been a fast year of 2009. My first "dodgy" upload was 28 April 2009. I managed to turn that into 118 creations and over 100,000 downloads. I feel quite proud and dissappointed that I havent been able to creat as often as I like.

My soul goal the past few months was to Actually play the Sims2 game. I recently tried to create some posters and paintings, but I am completely clueless who to do them, dont worry I have successfully done it, but I wanted to make my own collection. Not just a recolour to another painting/poster - if you get what i mean.

So if anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate the help!! Thank you.

If you have noticed on my creations, in the info, I am now classifying whether the creation is a "Caitlin Creation" or a "Jessica Creation" just so we can make fun of which one is getting less downloads... hehe, Sister love!!

My sister (Jessica) has been Slack at creating as well, seems the new partner of hers is taking her on a lovely holiday, while my Fiance is spending our holiday time - painting our house... =(

Anyway, love all your support and keep downloading and i will try and keep up with the uploading!!

Thanks

Addition to the Monokini Collection

If you loved the Pezaz_Monokini Collection then you'll love this next set... I love my shiney swimwear and whenever I do a set there are always some shiney ones to follow...

I know Domphbee was wondering about recolours... so here they are! They took me Forever to get them to look right, but once they were done, they were an easy recolour. I'm now thinking, Black/White & Red. Champange & Blush Pink for a few other combinations... You can never have enough recolours...

Please enjoy!!

WHOOPSY... I MADE A BOOBOO

AS you might have noticed, on my New Set (Pezaz_Monokini) I have made the mistake of Titling the GREEN swimsuit as BLUE on the Banner that runs down the side... Please dont get confused... always read the Info so you know exactily what it is... Thats my fault for not having the pictures set to Thumbnail and only relying on the name of the picture, I should ALWAYS check them, lol... BUt Forgive me, I was excited about posting them!!

Anyway, enjoy the new swimsuit and I hope the "downloaders" out there realise the mistake and that it doesnt confuse them too much

Have a Great day everyone!!

I Got a Promotion

Yes, I got a promotion and it has affected my time to create and upload them.

I have gone from the Humble Receptionist to the Human Resources Manager... which means not only am I learning a whole lot of stuff... I am still taking on my usual tasks of Asset Management, Quality Management System and Maintain it, HR and Document Control. All this untill we get another Applicant to take one my job as the receptionist.

My Employer Gave me Two Options:

To further my Career I could either take on Finance or HR, naturally I went with HR as I did the tasks already assosiated with HR (Due to the fact that our previous HR manager was only part time because of her Children)

Amongst all the stress:

I have managed to do two sets of a bathing suits and face paints for Children... They are cute... Anyway, due to the fact that I am swomped I havent been able to upload them...  I found that after two weeks people get bored with my downloads, so If I do at least two uploads a month it should even it all out... Wish me Luck on that... Hopefully sometime soon I will start uploading again...

I am getting better:

I am getting so much better at creating plus if I'm not in a rush my screenshots for the downloads look quite good aswell, I like it when they look presentable.. I want to keep improving and getting better, and I want people to bennifit from it before the Faze of Sims2 runs out!!. I wouldnt upload anything that I wouldnt like playing in my sims game

75 thousand downloads...104 creations

Excuse me as I cry!!

I just typed a big long post and it was deleted....

Anyway... Yay me, I have reached 75 downloads and 104 creations! Its a mini milestone for me... next to achieve is 100,000 downloads.. Eeeeeeehhhh (High Pitched Scream) this would be exciting... thanks again to all the lovely downloaders who love my creations... I hope anyway!!

Now, i had a realisation the other day when I went on a downloading spree...

I always felt down when I didnt get any comments, feedback or even "thank the artist" from all you downloaders. I loved getting nice sentences telling me what they loved about my creations and a thankyou, but these got shorter to just "cool" etc. which I felt was a real downer that people cant spend a tad extra time to say thanks, this looks great!! or more..

anyway, on my spree I finally decided to go check out my download history to start leaving my comments... well I was completely overwhelmed with downloads that as I went alone I was leaving shorter and shorter comments, or not at all, just leaving a "thank the artist"

Aaaaahhhh - too much, so I learnt my lesson, and you know what, it is nice to comment peoples creation and put thought into each one. Also I find that when they do leave me comments, i click on their name to comment back and say thank you, but it just bounces back to the home page... Grrrr... this is frustrating!!

Anyway, check out my bikini, its not downloading as much as my other creations, which may be due to the fact that it is a bit out there, or the fact that the picture sucks

Thank you to Missy_Screeter

As most of you may not know. I have had troubles with uploading Sets since the new Sims3 came to TSR. Now I had struggled to upload many of my sets which ended up being uploaded as single items!

Not that many people would mind that much because I believe in my sets some colours are better then others. Having the choice of just one download then three was a bennifit to some, ofcourse the others who prefer the whole set in one download, I am truelly sorry!!

Now, I found I could upload make up in a set, but unfortunately I could not upload clothes, so My last submission, which I think you all shall really love. A Flora Bikini, Leaves and flowers that entwine around your sims female body!

Really Cool, lol

Anyway, Finally I got a reply from Missy_Screeter regarding my submission problem, they helped me through my predicament, and I was suprised with the alternate much easier way of submitting sets. Yay! I finally uploaded successfully my set, Now waiting approval. So time will tell whether the method they supplied had worked.

I will take the time now, to public Thank Missy_Screeter for their imput in helping me move forward in knowledge of TSR and submitting my creations.

Eeeehhhhh!! (I scream) I am so happy that I can finally start submitting - Missy_Screeter, I will keep you posted on whether or not They were approved, so cross fingers everyone! I cant wait to start creating again!

Fianlly uploaded a Set

Finally It worked, If you have noticed, I havent uploaded anything new recently, because the stupid thing wouldnt let me upload sets!!

And now I have gotten through the boundry after a few months of giving up I decided to give it a go... and YES Yes!! it worked... I have 4 New Eye shadows Just approved... I actually through a tantrum and deleted most of my pending work. Ooopsy!! But its ok, I'm starting a new and beginning again!

You should soon expect a Twin Set! If it works? anyway its basically everything that comes in twos, except as me and my sister went through life, pink and blue.... Yay!! hopefully everything works out well... I will also try and recolour Base game Items, to make it easier for all you who Dont have the extention packs... like I was all those years ago!!

I do hope that Sims3 hasnt completely over shadowed the sims2, yesterday I felt like installing the sims1 so its not like I wont stop downloading for them!!

Thanks to anyway and everyone who stuck by me and waited paitently for more creations!!

60,000... and slowly creeping up

Hi my loving fans... the few out there I actually have =)

Sorry that I haven't got back to your comments and uploaded more items!! I've been haveing soooooo many problems. But I can promise you there is some eye shadows, swimwear and hair recolours already done, all I need to do it do some photos and collate them all together in groups to upload.

I'm still having horrible issues with not being able to upload sets. So please bare with it, I believe its better anyway, so people have a choice to ONLY pick one or two of there favourites in the set!

its been a whole year since I offically signed up Using THIS user name. I've been on here Longer using my sisters as a conjoining one for many years, just spending my time downloading sim1 items. I never had sims 2 for many years, we eventually got it, but our computer was sooooo slow! so, it wasnt till early this year that i finally said to myself, why dont I show off my creations.

it started with a few (Not so good uploads) that were only to bennifit me! then I moved on to things I know that I and probably many others lacked in. winter wear =]

I love creating, but I just recently got my wisdom teeth out, that knocked me out for two weeks. I have constant nausia and couldnt even get out of bed - its was horrible. so I had a lot of time off work (that i could have been doing sims2) but couldnt do that either. I missed my chance while my partner was out of town to sit on the computer all day - so yes dissappointed...

Anyway, wish me luck as I will probably go home a schedule some computer time. which is looking about two weeks away, dont ask why... lol I hope to upload more soon, Thanks for your patience

HI ALL MY LOVING FANS

Hi Guys,

Yeah there is probably only two or Three of yous, but I still appreciate you coming back and leaving me lovely and wonderful comments.

Thought I would give you all an update:

Due to the change over to sim 3 this site hasnt been working well for my uploads. The minute the site changed its Submission Bar, I could no longer upload sets, Yep I am as confussed as you are!!

But after a long time of cracking the poopies, I deceided to upload my first two sets in singles... I know this would be annoying, but hey, if people take time to read my additional notes they will see that you can just easily search "Summer Skool Collection" or come straight to my page to get the remander items!! People may prefer a different colour then the set anyway, so its not like its a bad thing.

And everyone who has booked marked me, knows where I am at, and it doesnt take long to squiz through all my downloads to find the set. (They are always together there)

I have like 5 sets just sitting on my computer waiting to be uploaded, so its not like I have stopped creating all together.

To my everyday life:

My twin sister has finally got a boyfriend, so she has stopped creating. She has only Made One, but hey, she didnt upload (Hot Chick42) I know weird name, but we were 12 when we made the login name, and it was used for EVERYTHING we signed up for.

Now at the pleasent age of 20, I have been with my partner two years and living with him for a whole year. So, it may sound long time for some, others a short time. But I'm being whisked away come this October to a lovely Romantic holiday place... and hmmm... My partner is not very good at keeping things from me, Nor hiding things!! So when I came across my engagement Ring!!!!! The suprise was ruined!!

But I still have to wait till the day I recieve it. My thoughts are on the romantic getway?? what do you think??

He already knows that Marriage is a few years off. But after a nice conversation, he just wanted to show that he loves me and wants to make that commitment!! Awwwwww... My heart still sinks after this long being with him!!

Anyway, thanks for your support

Hugs and Kisses, love you all

55,000 and slower going up

I am soooooo disappointed but happy, I have reached 55thousand...

what i'm upset about: I cant seem to upload my sets, the system is stupid, and wont pick up the items, I asked for help from the system runners but they came back with: due to the system changes it may have been a bit shifty, but should be ok now... well its not and they are still not uploading, and still my questions werent answered!!

I'm making a new set and am going to attempt a few one off items... and see how I go, just to keep going!! My partner is going to TAFE (Training Course - Deisel Fitting) so will be away for two weeks, plenty of time for me to create things -

WISH ME LUCK
