Activity Update (March 2013)
Hello friends!
I realized I have not published anything for Sims 3 in quite some time. School has gotten the better of me. However, I'm working on a few items today. So, expect new creations soon!
In other news, I have been working on updating the meshes for many of my Sims 2 creations. Since Glamorous Lounge has gone down, I've hosted the files at media fire until further notice. If you come across a creation that has a missing mesh link, comment on that file, and I will do my best to locate a new link.
Also, a few Sims 2 items were unpublished due to the incorrect mesh link. I've fixed it now, and they will be re-published this week. They are NOT new items, but simply old items with corrected info.
Thanks!
Claire

Looking For Hair?
A TON of people have asked me where I download my hair. I decided to just mention it in a blog so they can find out for themselves. I download a lot of hair from Peggy, Newsea, Raonjena, Coolsims, and Janita. I hope everyone finds what they're looking for. These creators are some of my favorite and definitely some of the most talented.

Somewhat Lacking
Hey people. Maybe you've noticed that I haven't been doing much lately. I've been ridiculously busy. Real life has finally caught up to me, I think. I got a part time job, so that's been taking up any extra time. Then, I'm finishing up my senior year, so I've had so many different things every day. Today was my last day of high school! With that said, I'll definitely have more time to create and make up for my lack of recent creations....
I hope you're as excited about this summer as I am!

P.S. Shortest blog ever, right?
Hey, it's February.
Hey, everyone, I haven't written a blog in a while, so here it goes (Don't all blogs seem to start off this way?).
I'm really loving creating at the moment. I've make some of my favorite outfits by far just recently. And, I'm looking forward to what I'll come up with next!
Oh, and I hit 3 MILLION downloads. *applause* Why, thank you. Haha, yeah...
And, i found a new obsession! Grey's Anatomy. I have no clue why I didn't ever watch it before, but it's really great. I'm almost through watching season 3, and that's taken me like 2 months. I also can't wait till Glee comes on again. Yes, I love Glee. It's true. Tell the world.
My astounding skills in Gimp can in handy a couple days ago. I was bored, so I started making logos for this guy's band. So, I gave him the link, and he actually used one on his Facebook and Myspace. Score one for Claire!
In school, I'm getting more and more stressed about scholarships! Oh my goodness, people, please give me money! I am also amazed by my sudden lack of homework and my also very sudden case of Senioritis. Can't wait till the weather warms up, then there'll be nothing to keep me focused! It's so freakishly cold here all of the sudden. We'll have one week of 60s weather, then the next week we'll get ice and snow. I hate snow (and ice, and cold wind). If it wasn't so freaking windy, it wouldn't be that bad.
Oh, and I really appreciate everyone's comments and entries in my guestbook! I haven't had as much time to reply to everyone, but hopefully i'll get to it soon! Also, if you ask a really stupid question (yes, there are such a thing as stupid questions, you know who you are), I probably won't answer you. Take the freaking time to look up a tutorial by yourself, it's not hard. There's this new thing called Google. It makes searching really easy. Can you believe that?
Also, I put the link to the mesh FOR A REASON! The reason: it is necessary for you to download it for the outfit to work in your game. It isn't necessary to comment 14 times telling me that it didn't work for you (this happened. complete with exquisitely improper grammar). Don't get me wrong, if there is a problem with the mesh, or I put the wrong link, tell me. Tell me that you think the link is wrong or something, don't just say that it doesn't work for you. That's not helpful, because I'll just tell you to download the mesh.
Enough ranting for today.

Fall Update
Well, the last time I wrote a blog it was during summer. So I figured I probably should update again.
Today I published another Twilight outfit, Rosalie's to be exact. I actually made it along with all the other Twilight stuff, I just forgot to publish it somehow! I really don't know how that happened. I had a lot of people ask me to make a Rosalie outfit to go along with the other Cullen outfits. I i realized that I did, but i kinda forgot about it. Anyway, it's published now, go check it out.
Tomorrow, I'm really excited about the "Cloud Gazing" set that is getting published. I just love the colors in the outfits and it reminds me of fall. But I won't have anyting to log on tomorrow to check them out because I'm leaving the house at 6:30 because I have to be at the school at 7 for a band competition.
Speaking of that, I'm smack dab in the middle of band competition season. We've got practice 3-4 times a week, then my sister, who's on color guard, has an extra practice everyweek that I have to wait on her for. So usually I get home around 6-7 during the week. And that doesn't leave me a lot of time for sims after I get all my homework done. I make time though. However, during the summer I could publish 2 sets a week, now it's good if I can get 1 done. I'm on fall break right now, so I plan on getting a lot done.
And, yes, even on fall break we have band practice. We actually had a football game last night (on a thursday???), then today we have practice at 3-7, then we load the truck for tomorrow's contest. We're going to Vanderbilt University for our biggest contest of the year. It's kinda scary because we'll be up against bands that go to Bands of America and that are just freaking amazing. Then there's us, the little private school band, who everyone underestimates. Ah, I really hope we beat them so bad.
Edit: We actually won our divison! Haha, it was great, we got the cup trophy.
Okay, I'm going to go play sims now.

Twilight
Ah, yes. So, a couple days ago, I got a request that I make some Twilight clothes. As in, wardrobe from the movie. So, I set to work scouring the Internet for movie scenes, and comprable textures to use. So far, I've come up with 3 Bella outifts. I plan to do some Edward outfits. And possibly one or two other Cullen outfits. The Bella outfits turned out quite good and I'm very proud, lol. I'll be posting those here soon, just as soon as I can take some preview pics because my game sort of keeps crashing, again and again. I decided I would give it one more chance when I get home from school tomorrow, then it's getting reinstalled. *sigh*

Ennui
Yes, boredom. So, I decided I'll blog...about something. Did everyone have a good Christmas, *cough* I mean holiday? Oh! I actually sort of, maybe, kind of have some interesting news. I made a story! I didn't come up with the plot line (I definitely CANNOT write to save my life.), I actually just set it to an All Time Low song. The song is Remembering Sunday and that is also the title to the story. I'm so excited that I made a story! I'm branching out, you see. Maybe later I'll make a clothes set of men's underwear or something. Or maybe I shouldn't stretch myself THAT much. I did make some color sets however. Purple, blue, and black/white(inspired by White House Black Market). Then I made some Mayday Parade shirts and added some more bands onto the request list. Hey, i know what. I'll put the request list on here so if anyone ever...like...wanted to know...or if...they cared *trails off*the Ataris

The Veronicas
Hmm, it's shorts than I remember. I think I left some out. Well, if I forgot you, just messege me! I suppose I'll tackle those shirts after i finish all my clothes sets.
Wow, this blog turned out to be quite long. Happy New Year! Claire
Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone!That's all! Claire

Problems
I've been trying for about a week now to upload some new creations, but it keeps messing up. I've decided that my computer goes through these rebellious stages where I can upload anything, whether it be pictures, videos, or, say, sims creations. So, I suppose I'll keep trying. Anyway though, I've been working hard on some vintage stuff: high waists, plaid, lace, and the like. I'm extrememly excited about those couple of sets. Hopefully they will be uploaded and published soon. I just published some additional male clothes. And they've done kinda of mediocre. For some reason, male clothes don't go over as well as female clothes.So I thought that I should say some more about yours truly. As in, non-sims stuff. Because you already know how amazingly talented I am in that area, right?
