Goodbye 2010 Hello 2011

Wow... What a year it has been both Sims related and personally. At this time last year I knew next to nothing of making CC. I'll let my first retexture speak for itself.


That was just in May, less than a year. Needless to say YUCK!! I can still improve a lot but I'm proud of how far I've come. At the beginning of Summer 2010 I set some goals for myself and I met most of them, now at the dawn of a new year I'd like to set some new ones :)
- Improve textures so that MS3B people don't attack me with every retexture :P
- Make my own original clothing!
- Basic meshing?
- Solid at converting
- Release a world (that was my one goal from Summer that I didn't meet...)

I hope you and your families had a great 2010 and an even better 2011!

Merry Christmas ^_^

I got nothing, no special holiday creation or anything. I didn't even have time to snap a cheery holiday photo! I love Christmas I'm a total Christmas geek (I got it from my Grandma!) I hope you and your families all have a wonderful day today (feels like yesterday since it's 12:07 AM... I stay up too late XD) and fantastic New Year. I am so thankful for your support, kind words and downloads that you've given me. I can't wait to see what the future holds. God bless and Merry Christmas :)

Upcoming Item

I don't normally do previews but this one should be out in the next week ^.^ Merry Christmas! (as if I won't say that 50 million more times in the next 5 days!) It's a conversion of nubie's Butterfly 4 for kids (and toddlers... hopefully, I haven't tested them in game yet!)

Original:  http://anubis360.blogspot.com/2010/12/butterfly-sims2-hair-004-converted-for.html


Is it too wide? Speak now and hold your peace, I'll do my best to fix that...

Newsea Cynthia Overhaul

Is anyone else freezing right now? I love snow but icy winds are simply no fun :( anyway, this hair... well why don't you just look at the before and after pictures?

Before:


After:

Well to state the obvious the ugly bangs are gone :3 It's also shorter and the the back changed a lot. The hair has its flaws though, it has a couple transparency issues (not my fault though I may have made them visible) and the mesh overlaps a little at the top. None the less I'm glad I did it, it came out pretty decent (at least better then Newsea's!) :)

This hair does require the original using aWT's method! Place this retexture in your override's folder. It's a free hair so I want no complaining (In TS2 you had to download EVERY mesh) I forgot this was a free hair... it's no big deal though (and I don't want you making it one!) Thanks to aWT for the texture too.

Announcing Gerbite Island!

I wanted to start a new project so I'm working on a world, it's just a small one as I've always lost interest in bigger projects. Hopefully it will run well on crappy computers :)





That's only four images, I have many more at my CFF thread with additional information. Please check there and GIVE ME FEEDBACK! I need it desperately cause my trees suck ;)

Also if you would download my stress test and tell me how it runs that would be very helpful: download

Newsea Flower Retexture

*Bows down to king awt* He's cracked the code and so now we can do Newsea retextures! Without him and his explanations this would not have been possible!

However it is very important to follow instructions, failure to do so will result in instant death (or just a dysfunctional hair.) MESH IS REQUIRED I really hate that but it's necessary, I'm very sorry because I know it's annoying but I don't want TSR knocking down my doors *glances about* of course there are always.... alternative methods

Download mesh @ TSR

OKAY! But we're not done yet! You must follow aWT's tutorial or it will not work!

If it doesn't show up in your game go back and be sure that you did everything correctly, I did it and realized that I put the Override folder in the wrong place.

Now we can finally talk about the hair :) hope you like it, I think it's very pretty. Oh and sorry for the lack of updates, been busy. My modeling save-file crashed and I lost all models who were not saved to the simbin (most were very old versions anyway...) so just about every model is new, hope you like them!

The Cambell House

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It feels good to build again :) I think I might even start a starter collection, they're fun and easy to build.

This starter is on a tiny 15 x 15 lot. Surprisingly there are a lot of things you can do with only 18,180$. All the basics are included along with a nicer TV, bed and bookcase. It will provide the perfect beginnings for a cash strapped sim.

Required CC

- Simple Siding by Plasticbox
- Roof by Tammy Trauma (Specifically Medium Bronze)

Late Night and Other News

Late Night has arrived! I got it yesterday and it's really fun, definitely the best EP so far imo, the build/buy mode additions are game changing (in a building way), I'm really motivated to start (another) world that I most likely will never finish XD EA's buildings are really ugly but the things that builders are going to be able to do will be amazing! I can't wait to see all the clubs and cool buildings we're gonna get! Also the clothing is amazing (hairs are ugly!!!) there is a lot for males and females! And best of all it's all normal clothing.

My content all should be working, I haven't seen any problems with anything but if you do then please tell me.

Happy Halloween everybody, my township is weird and we have ToT on Thursday so today is basically the day we celebrate, My friends bailed and so I'm not going for candy but I'm walking around with my parents and brother :) I'm wearing my "This is my costume" shirt.

Might have a couple LN mods in the next few days, have a good rest of the week!

Edit: Extreme grammar fails

Something's very fishy around here.....

Long time little updates! School is keeping me plenty busy, I've also been playing the game (TS2 actually) and I'm notoriously bad at multitasking, I usually create when I'm bored with the game, I'm not bored but I wanted to release something just to show that I'm still around. So last night I worked and converted this cute halter top by Fishie that I use a lot in TS2. Originally it was going to be child-elder but I couldn't find an appropriate mesh for the elders (it uses a BG mesh btw, child version is on a mesh by kiara here) so yeah it's only child-adult. It's for all categories (Everyday, Formal, Sleep, Athletic & Swim) because it's a pretty versatile top, if you don't like that then you can change it yourself :) Clothing isn't my specialty but I'm really happy with how it came out

Peggy 526 Retexture

I can't keep saying how much I love this hair <3 I was a little shocked at the beating that it got on MS3B, I thought it was awesome when I first saw it and I still love it after I tried it in game (besides the sucky bone assignments), so I had to retexture it, hopefully some of you like this hair too! Works for all ages, was removed for singed.
