AU REVOIR
I have just submitted my final two uploads to TSR, to be published to the end of the month. After 7 years of intensive patterning for TS3, I feel that the time has come for me to call it a day.
I have tremendously enjoyed the Sims3 connections I have made over that time, but can summon no enthusiasm at all, for Sims4. Perhaps if there is ever a Sims5 [and I am still around], I may be back . . only time will tell.
Thank you my good friends for all your support . . you know who you are!
Over and out

Short Hiatus
So I had a RL scare with a relative that is taking up most of my time, so I just wanted to let anyone interested know that I probably won't have time to make any new things for a bit. Hopefully won't take long :) Thanks all
Building Suggestions?
Hello freinds! Sorry my houses slowed down considerably, but I had things to do and places to go, but now I have time to make more.
I would like very much to know how you've all enjoyed my castles? I have another castle in production at this time and I'm going to take my time making it so I can get it just right. Well, as "just right" as I can with what I have.
If there is any other kind of house you'd like me to make or suggestions (kind suggestions only) I'd be more than happy to try them and see how they work. I've gotten suggestions in the past like "Why don't you make London's Parliment?" Well, because there's an awful lot to parliment and the Sims doesn't give you all the necessary architectural items to make it authentic. I'm not a modder. I am a builder.
Have a lovely week and please leave your comments with love in your hearts! Bye! <3

About my Trendy Ripped Jeans...
Hey guys!
So alot of you have comment saying that there are some issues with the Trendy Ripped Jeans. Saying that your sims are experiencing embarresment and wearing them in the shower. I think Ive figured out the problem. I used base game underwear/swimwear as the base for the mesh so that might be whats causing the problems. Ive decided to put the texture over the skinny jeans mesh from City Living and hopfully that should fix the problem.
Ill upload it to TSR soon. Im sorry about the issues and thank you for the feedback :)
Hoverboard in Sims 4 ?
Hello,
I would like to know if you are interested by a mod to have hoverboard into Sims 4 ? Because i'm a modder and i can create one.
And the Oppo A73 5G is a good phone?
Thanks a lot.
Making Lots By Request
This morning my daughter Emily and I were skyping and I asked her what kind of a lot she would like if she were playing the sims. She said a cottage with a greenhouse and an old world look with wood beams and criss cross wood on the walls.
I thought about it for a minute and said, yup! That's the lot for the day.
So I made this lot and called it "A Cottage For Emily"
I'm happy with it, she's happy with it and the wild horses in the game love it!
A day worth while. <3
How You Can Construct a Meaningful Art Compilation
When it comes to art, in particular, there is often a greater emphasis on aesthetic appeal than meaning. Now, this is perfectly fine – after all, paintings and sculptures are meant to be looked and admired. Still, it can be quite lovely to have a collection of pieces that have a great deal of personal significance to you. Now, if you have been to a few galleries or looked at pieces online and have yet to come across paintings, don’t fret. Here you will be able to find some guidance on how you can build up such an assemblage:
Look Back at Your Own Memories
One of the reasons that you may feel disconnected from your previous paintings is because they don’t have ties to your past. This is why it is a good idea to think back on your own memories. What special moments or events stand out to you? It could be a family outing, your wedding, or even a minor moment. Once you have discovered what you are drawn to, find pieces that evoke a similar sensation. Imagine for instance, that you went camping quite often as a child. Perhaps looking for nature-based paintings or ones of the night sky may be more significant to you.

Connect with the Artist
Each painting, sculptor, or other art piece contains a little bit of the artist. This is particularly true for aboriginal artists who are conveying a sense of self and culture in their work. Due to this, you may actually find it quite helpful to speak with the painter who created a particular piece. This should be relatively easy if the artist is from the same area that you are living in. Even if you can’t get a hold of the painter, you can still find out their inspiration. Art galleries or even the painters themselves may provide a short description alongside the piece. This will give you an idea of what emotion or story is being exhibited.
Look in Different Places
There is no doubt that some of the best pieces will reside in galleries. That doesn’t mean, however, that this is the only place to find paintings or other artwork. There a lot of up and coming painters that still aren’t represented. Therefore, you will not be able to find their work at an exhibition. If you are curious about finding new talent or something fresh to appeal to you, look at local painters who are making a name for themselves. You may have to visit smaller exhibitions to see what they are capable of.
Make it Yourself
To truly make the collection meaningful, why not add one or two pieces that you have created by yourself. You don’t need to be talented or even all that good. Even a photograph collage can work as it can have great value to you. By using some of the work that you have done, you will certainly be providing that personal touch.
This is how you can find pieces that mean a great deal to you. By doing so, you will be able to have a personal connection with your artwork.
New Friends
Today my faith in human nature may not have been restored, but it was soundly nudged in that direction. I was left a couple of comments by a fellow Simmer that made me feel that maybe it's okay to be me.
Let me tell you who I am.
I am fun, I love to love, I love to make houses for TSR. I love Simming. I have two daughters and a granddaughter who is not quite 4 years old yet and she is my mini me. She is coming to live with us, she and her mommy and I couldn't be more happy.
I love little furry dogs. I find humor in cats. My husband and I love to laugh with each other and we kid around in different voices for fun.
I live in a 155 year old Victorian farm house in the middle of a town in Maine. I was born in West Virginia. I am a country girl.
If someone is in trouble, I help. If someone is sad, I comfort them. When someone is nasty to me, I get tough, and I fight back.
I am half Newfoundlander.
I am the last of five children.
I am a human being and I deserve love and respect because I live my life to please God.
That is who I am. I like me.
Let's put down all the bullshit and be friends because life is short and if you're going to live it to be an *sshole, you deserve everything you get. But if you live your life to be good and kind, you deserve love and friendship. Loyalty is important too, but truth trumps that.
God trumps all.
Lets be friends.
Have a beautiful day! <3
12 MILLION DOWNLOADS
Well now, who would have thought! Not me that's for certain. . . .but, the 12 millionth download rolled through uneventfully . . .and probably un-noticed by anyone but me. . .just like these posts LOL . . sorta.
I think I'm coming to the end of my usefulness though . . . so am emptying the holding folders right now . . and when they are closed off, then so will I be.
Heartfelt thanks to all those lovely people who STILL manage to comment . . .and to all those lovely anonymous downloaders who don't . . . download totals are earned not created, so this milestone would be un-achieved without you all.
Love and bye for the time being. xox

Might Miss an Upload Date
I'm heading down to Kentucky for the eclispe this week. I might not have time to make CC For next weekend.
So just a warning there might not be an upload on the 27th.
You never know, I might actually be able to sqeeze in some free time.
Another little heads up, school is returning soon for me. So my upload rate may turn every other week if it is too much stress.
It is hrad managing High School and Custom Content.
10th grade year already, I can't believe it! Soon I will be graduating, scary to think about.
Anyway, I hope you all are understanding of what the future may hold.
It is hard being a 15 year old managing so many things, but hey! Practice for the real world, am I right?!
Thanks again,
Emma
Coastal series
When Sims4 was released and we were still creating for Sims3 game, we started to receive messages from people requesting us to bring Coastal series for Sims4. On that time we still didn't have Sims4 ourselves... long time ago indeed ^^ After that, we received some more requests for these beachy sets and around August 2016 we decided to bring Coastal back. We had 8 pieces made but since it is a large project and we were focused on other sets, we kept these few pieces saved on a flash drive. We completely forgot it.
Now, around July 2017, a person asked if we had plans to bring Coastal to Sims4. And now we said "YES! Now it's the time" :)
We will be bringing all Coastal Series slowly because our free time is sparse lately and also because our computer ( the one we use to take pictures from) is not very well.
So sorry we delayed so much to bring this series to Sims4 but still hope you enjoy it!
Happy simming :)
Summer Collection
Hey Simmers, Its been a while, again...
haha but yeah I promised a Summer Collection and you have got one !!!!!
I have literally just submitted it !
It includes 4 downloads but only 2 outfits !!!
I ain't gonna give too much away, I want it to be a surprise for you :)
I really hope you like them, Let me know what your think.
Time For Another Shake Down
My last blog was about the influx of "Mean Girls" on the internet/Facebook. I have since decided to pare down my dealings on the internet and just mind my own pages and my own downloads and leave the mean girls to ruin their own lives without my help.
I've also discovered that I have a new talent/love. I totally love making public lots, esp. restaurants!
I don't know why they seem to be coming out so well but I'm really happy they are!
I attempted to make a one room schoolhouse but the only option for zoning was Academy which is in fact referring to Martial Arts. How sad that we can't make schools for our Sim kids. I for one would love to see that become an option.
Also, there are other types of buildings that they have made into rabbit holes that we should be able to make ourselves. Public buildings, business buildings, hospitals, bookstores...I guess I could still make a bookstore but it won't look as cool as the rabbit hole version.
Give us the tools on Sims 3!! Make a stuff pack for such things and we will buy it! "If you build it, they will come!"
Thanks for everything EA, please consider firing Origin. They've ruined our gameplay and we want autonomy back!
I think I've created a star!
I used several items from Pralinesims and RemusSirion to create Vita Hickenlooper (the name makes me smile) and surprisingly enough, the results really resemble one of the starts of early 20th century cinema, Joan Fontaine. I kept wondering who she reminded me of.
Mean Girls Flood Social Media
Hi everybody in Simland!
My name is Laughingcrow and I want to tell you about something that happened to me last night on a Sims 3 Facebook page.
For the past three months I have been making and sharing my Sims 3 houses and lots with these people. I've been kind and supportive. I've helped and cared about them, even though I didn't know them.
A week ago, several people asked me to start a Tumblr page for my houses and share the link so they could follow me. I did. No one followed. So I started a Facebook page and shared the link...five people followed but the page was largely ignored.
Last night, sick from a tetunus shot, I posted how disappointed I was that no one had liked my page. (wouldn't you be?) Immediately there was a flood of mean girl comments that included the accusation that I was being entitled to something I didn't deserve, and a host of horrible unkind gifs. Every answer I gave them was yet followed by another accusation of entitlement. I do not feel entitled...I wanted the people who promised they'd follow me, to hold up their end of the bargain and keep their promise.
Finally, before heading off to bed, I deleted the whole post...and found that five more lovely souls had followed my page. This morning I thanked them properly and explained about the post from last night and promised to block anyone guilty of bullying anyone on my page.
Why are people so aggresively nasty online? And to people they don't even know? Because it's someone they don't know. If they knew me, could talk with me face to face, they wouldn't be so quick to be unkind. That's the trouble with social media, isn't it?
So, if anyone would like to talk, let's talk.
Lots of love! Laughingcrow
Stuff
I love this website. When I go on tumblr or other things it sends me to adblocker which is literally so annoying!!!
Update on my life!!
but i am back and im about to star a summer collection so keep an eye out for that this week :D xx
Why
I keep trying to change settings and stuff but it never saves.
I tried updating my preferred content to Sims 3, but it won't do it.
It also won't change my profile picture.

Hi guys
i download clothes( shoes, dresses,pants+++++),hair and a home and i downloaded a dress of selena gomez, also these i added them on the folder on documents -electonic arts-the sism 4-mods and i add them. when i opened the game it was showing at first the mods. when i went to change clothes it was showing only the dress with selena gomez and the other clothes and hair were not there. then i read some comments in TSR about this problem and they said that u can delete the clothes+ the other things in the folder of mods and after you open and close the sims 4 and it will be generated again the folder Mods and then i added the clothes and hair. i did this and now i opened the game and it shows me the mods but when i go to put on clothes it doesnt showww mee. HELP SOS
new cc soon!
Right now i'm experimenting a lil bit . I'm practicing making cc (new meshes and stuff) so i will soon post more cc !! :D <3
The mysteries of meshing a tiny bit uncovered...
I made a table! I did it! I actually made a physical (well, digitally physical) working end table!
You can put a lamp on it! And a plant!
And it has TWO channels!
It's very progressive and has no less than FOUR legs!
LOL!
Yes, I've finally got into meshing. It took this long for various reasons but I downloaded the 30 day trial version of milkshape a few days ago, and the instructional pdf's by RicciNumbers and Cyclonesue and got started.
There was cussing. A lot of it. And at two times I was completely stuck and thought "that's it", but my creativity persevered and finally my wonderful little table stood there, on the grass of a lot in the game, and was functional!
Since then I've also made a 4x4 rug and a large painting!
But there are still issues. My table looks fine in solid color but make it wood and it just looks plain weird. The Rug seems to be working but the painting is weird. It looks fine up close but gets very blurry when you move back a bit. Obviously something needs to be adjusted.
I tried to make a kitchen counter. It became transparent....
Obviously I have a lot more to learn, but that's OK- I still have around 25 days left of my trial period! :)
* TSR Select Artist of June 2017*
Today, TSR officially announced the Select Artist/Featured Artist of June 2017. I’m truly grateful to say I was given the opportunity to be a part of the TSR Select Artist Family. I would like to take a moment to congratulate those who became Featured Artists and Select Artists today, you guys absolutely deserve this title! I would also like to thank those who take the time to download my creations. You have no idea how much it means to me. Since I’m an introvert who has social anxiety, creating sims is a way to express myself and put myself out there. Sharing my creations on TSR has helped me to cope with my social anxiety and has made me feel like I’m actually part of something. Having social anxiety has been a huge obstacle for me, but each day that I see such friendly people on here it gives me courage to work towards overcoming this obstacle. Therefore, I can’t thank you guys enough for supporting me.
