Teaching an old dog new tricks...

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!

So what's up? As I have stated before, my time for playing has been curtailed somewhat lately, but has been easing as I get more accustomed to my new work schedule/4 year old's school schedule. However, I have been using that small amount of spare time to learn some new things! Yup, I am learning how to make meshes and make worlds! Meshing is a much more involved process than I had ever suspected, and creating worlds is a layered mess. Yes, it can be done, but the file sizes are enormous! I am hoping we find a way to make them a little less large for easy sharing on the site.

So, what does all this mean? Well, it means I haven't had a whole lot of time to be on the site, nor to answer your wonderful comments. :( That's something I have always prided myself on! I do appreciate your patience, and hope you'll understand that I really want to concentrate on these new aspects right now. I am hoping that once I have a better handle on these major projects I will be able to be around a little bit more. :D Does this mean I don't appreciate your kind words, and critiques? No way! I love knowing that something I made helped someone enjoy the game more! It just means that, for now, my time's a little shorter than I would like, and that I WILL eventually get to them all and still personally thank each and every one of you for your thoughtful messages!

Thanks for believing in me, and wish me luck!

Love and hugs -
Illiana

Meshing now? Cool! I'd like some spiral stairs, a working elevator, a fleet of cars, and a Nimitz class Aircraft Carrier I can park off the coast in Sunset Valley (with planes). $\:D$   J/K ! Good luck with everything! ~John

Dear Tammy. I am impressed, I bow at your feet in humble admiration. To boldly go where no one has gone before - at least not that many - okay at least not that many that I can call my friend $\:D$ . I have tried my self and failed - think I´m better of with a piece of paper and a pencil. But when you get really good (notice the: <strong>when</strong> $\;\)$ I would love if you could make the one thing I always missed in TS2 and would love to have in TS3: a clothesline hanging out from the wall so I can recreate the beautifull scene from "Lady and the Tramp"  $\:wub\:$ . Hugs Mette.

I have no doubt that you will be fine and that things will come out the way you want them to. So no luck is really needed, you are very talented and creative. What I will wish you, is the patience and energy that are needed when you try and tackle new things, whether it be in the Sim's world or everyday real world. Hugs! $\:wub\:$

Good Luck Tammy! I'm sort of in that same ship there too as you know...I know how hard it is and eventually we will get there. I thought the same thing before I started driving a car... now I can do it blindfolded (not a good idea though) Hugggs, Fred
