Goodbye
I decided a while ago to stop uploading to TSR. I cannot even stay logged in to the site anymore and I get "your IP is banned" messages many times when I try to log in. (I am surprised, that I was able to write this post, because I couldn't make this far on the site in the last few weeks.) Support wasn't much of a help.
If you are interested in my new creations, you can find them on my tumblr. (Link is in my profile)
I won't update my old stuff here either, because it takes forever and the new submission system is just too stressful to use.
Not sure what's going on...
Just noting a trend where downloads are way below what they used to be. I can only speak for custom Sims, because that's the field I'm in. Noting really high level creators getting really lower than usual numbers, even a week after release. Not sure if its Sims 4 that is finally falling off, or something else, but I hope it swings back around!
Hey y'all :)
Sorry for being gone so long. I'm sure I've said it before, but my RL job requires me to be on site usually 3 weeks out of 4 each month, so my time to make custom sims is limited. However, I do keep track of my sims downloaded etc, in an effort to create content that Sims players want :)
It's been a while, but I am toying with making a new Sim soon, since I have a little time on my hands. Keep posted here to see when they're released :)
5 Million Downloads
Today I have reached 5 Million downloads. I started to create CC about a year ago and started to submit to TSR less than that, so it is a pretty big deal for me. I'd like to thank everyone who downloaded my CC and special thanks to those who left comments on my creations or wrote in my guestbook. Those kind words really encouraged me to keep going and helped me improve. :3
02/04/2024 Update - Rebrand
Hi everyone! ♥
I will be also reinstating my Patreon account soon too. I don't have a solid timeframe when it's going to be but I hope that I will have content for you within 2-3 months time.
Hope you all will have a great rest of you day!
xx Caroll
Thany you all and bye bye !
Thank you to all contributors and to TSR. Today I uninstalled permanently Sims4. There's so many bugs that I have no pleasure anymore to play this game. I tried all advices to solve all the issues that keep coming up. The only solution - but with no guarantee at all - will be to spend hours to re-download the game and all extensions and to use my mods and saves backup. I lost too many time and lost my patience. It's over.
Contributors you are doing a great job. Thank you for it !
Bye.
1 Million Downloads!!!
I still can't quite believe that I've hit over 1 million downloads! I am so grateful to each and everyone of you that has downloaded my cc. Here's to the million lol
Lunar Silver Star Ideas
I'm watching a game walkthrough call "Lunar Silver Star" so my question is has anyone tried to make the hair styles from the game or is there a way to make the hair styles?
Snoop dog
This guy play's the Sims, you see how many Snoop Dee-Ohh-Double-Gee advertisements there are on here? I can see him playing Sims.
Peaceful Holidays
- Wish everyone a peaceful and contemplative holiday. I would like to thank you for the encouraging comments and the friendly feedback on my creations and look forward to 2024. A good, healthy and peaceful 2024!!!
🎄Merry Days to all of you🎄
🎁 🦌 Since the beginning of 2004 that I am an active member of The sims resource I have lived many changes as I have seen the site growing. I feel for TSR as I feel for a family next to mine. I have welcome smart creators with bright ideas, I have said goodbye to creators that left forever and unfortunately not only from TSR and I felt sadness for all these people that I have missed because of their different choices. During these days The sims resource is dressed its festives clothes but I believe this year has overcome itself. I am a Christams kid the last 68 years and I am happy that our neigborhood is so festive . More or less 20 years ago I started sending wishes to everyone's gb ( creators, downloaders, admins) I was so happy a few years later to see that people adopted the idea and started wishing to everyone. I am not sure if I manage to send a wish to each one of you this year too. Forgive me if I miss someone's gb . Stiil I want you to know that I love all of you and I am proud for all creators . I enjoy everything you do! I WISH YOU HAPPINESS AND JOY FOR THESE DAYS AND A PROSPERUS AND CREATIVE NEW YEAR, See you around;)🎁 🦌
Humbled, yet curious
Because of my job, I've been away more than I've been home, so my custom Sims production has suffered a bit. So, once I finally had time, I thought I had a sim that would be great for download. I dressed her up, ran her though the paces, made sure her clothes looked good (even though y'all can change everything upon download.. we all know that, but we need to make em pretty for that purpose.. LOL)
I also had to deal with the new submission system that is really different from what I'm used to. No biggie.. I managed to get through it (after 3 rejections, but kudos to the staff for working with me.. LOL).
Anyways..she was released, and I was waiting to see how many ppl love her...and...well....not many.
LET ME SAY THIS!!
Its ok for a sim to not be desiriable for download! I've had many of those that just dont satisfy the fan base.
If anything, y'all are teaching me to look for new trends, or things that you like in custom sims...and I'm all about it :)
If you have something you'd like to see, let me know!
Just be forewarned...I dont do recreactions of famous people. I'm not good at that. If you want Jennifer Aniston or such, seek out @jolea or others. My sims are born out of a sim I see that has potential, then I customize them for release :)
So..about that new sim.. LOL
So I did my best under the new system. Overall, it seems more smooth to use, but there def is a learning curve at first. The clothing / item submission section is more streamlined. The only confusion I met was with content "outside of TSR" and TSR content. Finally figured that out, and my sim tested out ok, and is on the market.
Again, I'm open to trying to make sims you want to see. I have to stress again that I cannot do likenesses...I tried. I suck.. LOL. See Jolea or such for things like that (if she doesn't mind me mentioning her). I am good with making female sims, teen to adult. Give me an idea of theme you want, and I'll do my best.
Reminder, I've had the entire month of October at home, but I go back to my work site tomorrow (Nov 5th), so I cant start anything for two weeks.
Thanks for reading :)
Finally!
So I finally had some time at home to string together to make a new Sim! Buuuuttt...I had to navigate the new submission system that was installed while I was away.
It's def different. Very efficient in a lot of areas that weren't before, but the learning curve took me a little (and make take others more depending on their experience).
Waiting to see if my newest upload makes it without errors. I think I did all I needed to do, but again, new system, so I may have missed something :)
SIMcredible's 20th anniversary 🥳️
Yay! Today is the day! On the evening of Thursday's October the 2nd 2003 we launched our website SIMcredibledesigns.com! It was under the Sims1 era and we had only 5 sets on that day. Slowly, we've created more and more, migrated to every new version of the Sims and today, we can share with you our numbers 😊
- 183 The sims 1 sets
- 187 The sims 2 sets
- 290 The sims 3 sets
- 343 The sims 4 sets so far (and counting...)
- over 845 million downloads only at TSR...
And we would like to thank you for being with us since whenever you started to download our files 😄 Thank you for your support, your messages, your comments and all your likes! We are very happy for being part of your games for so long now 💚
And today, you can get our festive set at TheSimsResource. "Party like the 20s" is a 2 parts set, with the party we would like to give to our "son" SIMcredible! Hope you enjoy celebrating this party with us 🥂 🥳️
Thank you for celebrating our milestone with us and... may our endeavor keep growing and bringing beauty and fun to your games for many more years! 🙏
Hugs,
Thaya & Paula 💚💙
Sorry for the delays!
My job has me gone 2 weeks and home one week, pretty much on a cycle, so I dont play as much as I'd like, but I do owe y'all a new sim here sometime soon!
Couple my schedule with the fact my Razer KB is borked (going to get a new one tomorrow), its slowing me down. I have a sim in the chamber I'm working on. Again, trying for quality over quantity (and looking at the last time I posted one, definitely not cranking them out.. lol)
Stick with me...I'll deliver.. I promise :)
Behind Schedule
Yesterday's patch threw my mods and cc into disarray. I think I've got the mods sorted, now I'm working through the cc. Figured it was a good opportunity to clean things up a little bit. Anyhoo, it means I've not been working on any new rooms. This is the good thing about knowing me yet, I can take me time and no one will complain.
To add insult to injury I've been quite sick. Feeling a little better now. I promise I will get back to making pretty and functional rooms ASAP.
Stay slinky & happy Simming ☺
Back again
I'm back! I'll be uploading new stuff soon! I decided to give another opportunity to TS4, but then, for some reason, the Gallery stopped working, even though it's supposedly fixed by EA, not working to me, so I'm reinstalling it, too see if it works. I kinda forgot about the game, I like that some things area really realistic, but i really miss stuff like the Sims 3 (Adventures, opportunities, caves, underworlds, tombs adventures, etc). But I plan to give another opportunity to the game anyway, lol. I saw there is an EP where there are llamas, I think I need it xDDDDD.
a huge shoutout! ❤️❤️❤️
a huge shoutout and biggg thanks! for all the lot artists!!
i tried making my own house in the game.. it took me hours hahaha but still i can't make a perfect house haha. It wasn't easy!!! So i decided to binge download alot of houses here hahaha so kudos to all lot artists! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
you guys rock! you are all lifesavers! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you thank you thank you! I'm a big fan of all lot artists!

Bridgerton Regency Antiques, May 30th
Hi y'all,
It's a collection of British Regency antiques inspired by the Netflix series, Bridgerton. The Sims 3 set is scheduled for publication on May 30, 2023, and it includes the following 8 new objects: an armchair with scrolled arms, a popular style during the Regency era. A pedestal bowl, that's re-colorable and a silver basket, both can be used with the separate fruit object. The fruit, tea caddy, tall vase for floor placement, a bough pot vase, and a 2-tile console table with lots of slots (3-slots have identical xyz coordinates, so that you can use the fruit with the bowls in these slots.)
A British Regency Antiques collection folder is available for download at MediaFire, https://www.mediafire.com/file/61ww64b5cv852zs/cash_bridgerton_regency_antiques_collection.package/file
Special note: to use the optional fruit with either the pedestal bowl or the silver basket requires a surface that contains 2 slots with identical xyz coordinates for placement of objects, both the console table and the oval nightstand (from my previous set, Daphne's British Regency, Part III, ItemID: 1642428) have this feature. You can also use the pedestal bowl and silver basket without the fruit.
I hope your Regency Sims enjoy these additional decorative and functional objects.
Happy Simming,
Carolyn aka, Cashcraft
Starting a family
Well this time I chose a "Hopefield" family home created by xogerardine. Which I modified to my liking, although
more sober this time. The axis of the decoration was marked by the living room, I always maintain my characteristic
mix of styles, bohemian touch and of course very chic.
Also, because of my sim's profession, I added the "Loft - office room" created by Danuta720.
You can find both here on The Sims Resource. Hope you like! Greetings!
Apologize
Hello hello!
This post is dedicated to apologizing for the latest misunderstandings.
So that you know that it was only a lack of knowledge of the language (my language is Spanish) and of specific rules.
Luckily, the portal has an excellent team and we have been able to clear it up.
Very happy to be back, I haven't figured it out but I think I've been here for a couple of long years.
Anyway... I apologize again and.. let's get to the nice stuff!
Greetings!
Updated cribs and changing tables for the 1.96 patch
I made new cribs and changing tables for infants for my previously released nursery (Evelina, Heart, Stephanie, Lily, Victoria, Jenny, Laura). They can be downloaded here - https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/1646315
The Royal crib has been changed in the old set to the new version (https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/1304908).
Decorative crins will remain for babies using the Invisible crib mod.
Functional changing tables for Victoria, Jenny, Laura and Stephanie sets here - https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/1647452
High chairs do not require updating, they work fine with both toddlers and infants.

tell me if you would like me two tell you more amazing cc places.
Something I've realized...
When making Alpha sims for download, I've noted that certain types are favored more than others. I guess it's a habit a creator can have; tracking his downloads to see what works and what doesn't. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I've realized something...in my effort to provide sims that I hope are downloaded frequently, I've lost what made this fun from the start....making a sim because its *fun* and exciting :)
I realized I shouldn't worry so much about "whats popular" and instead focus on what I feel is attractive to me, and then release it to all of you. If some don't feel the same, its ok..and if some love it, that's ok too :)
Its hard in this society these days to not be caught up in numbers, and it can make you lose sight of what is truly important.
For me, its releasing a sim that I personally found to be gorgeous, so everyone can have the chance to have that sim too. To heck with download numbers.... :)
I just want to share what I think is attractive, and hope you find it to be the same!

New update 2023
I'm a bit lost, lol. But my PC was working really bad, and almost couldn't play Sims, neither do new CC.
On January 2023 definitely died, and sadly, I lost some things (including some Sims 3 folders), luckily I made backups of another folders like the one were i have all the stuff I create, but not the sims models :(. The good thing is that I bought a brand new PC, with better graphic card and processor, this inspires me to open the game, and, surely, I'll be back to CC creation. I'd love to.

Tiny House - lovely chic small space
I'm back!
I have remodeled and redecorated a small house from Mulena Sims.
It would be ideal if the sewing machine worked. At the moment, the character
in this home is pursuing a tailoring career, which I got through "midnitetech".
many combined styles! what would you call it?
I hope you like it :) Greetings!
End of year wishes...
Hello friends!! So...the post title..what does it mean? Well, if I could go back and remove certain sims from my portfolio, I would. I feel like there have been some that I put out there because I felt a need to "stay on pace"...ie; release a sim at the minimum of one a month. However, that didn't always lead to quality sims.
This last one, for example...I like her, but I'm not in love with her. One thing about me, I'm going to be 100% upfront / real when it comes to these things. I put a personal pressure on myself to deliver at least one sim a month. My new job keeps me travelling a lot, so that only adds to it.
What I need to keep in mind is that it's not so much about releases, but about the quality of those releases. You all deserve better.
I track my stats, not to compare to others, but to see commonalities that are popular between sims. What does the public like? How can I deliver on that, and still release a sim that isnt just a combination of "liked features"...but rather a sim you want to download because it could fit a story or narrative you have in mind? *THAT* is what I'm striving for.
Again, I love your input...tell me what you like to see, not see, etc....I take it all seriously!
Until next time, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa!
