EA fails.
I bought the latest Store set, the one with the tea set and the cannery station to make jams and canned goods...and I have to say that the EA people clearly did not research what the homemade canning process looks like. 'Cause I nearly had a heart attack when my sim put both of her hands in the canning pot to pull out jars that had just been processed. (You do that IRL and you wind up in the hospital with 1st degree burns on your hands....)
Facepalming forever. Is it that hard to add animation?
New House and New Simspiration!
Hi Simmers
I havent written a Blog post in over a year. I took about 6 months off from creating. basically as I was not inspired and was busy playing new EPs lol. But since May I have come back full force in creating.. having been inspired by spring.
I am eagerly anticipating Sims 4 release in Sept.. and thought in the meantime i would create my little heart out! I believe I will eventually create for Sims 4 as well in due season. I fully plan on still playing Sims3 even after Sims4 comes out.
Anyways.. I have been trying to make both modern and contemporary homes. My next attempt is to be a Victorian style home.
Have a great day and Happy Simming!

Sooo, technical difficulties have popped up lately and its really messing up my story progress. I have three weeks to fix whtever's happening, so please bear with me
Update N6
Yea. I'm not going to call it a "daily" update anymore haha. Though this one is quite on time.
Oke, so I decided to not put the sim with a massive amount of slides on this site. Instead, I'll do another one. A male. *SMIRK*
PS. I've been thinking about. putting story characters, up for download. (For example, Drew from Sudden End, or perhaps someone from Endless)
But.. maye not.. since they use sliders.. argh. OR I'll have to search for all the sliders and such. zzz
Ok. what to do now.. I'm first going to do the 3 sims first.. and start thinking of how I should order the storyline from Endless Chapter 14.
I already have a huge idea, but it has some weirdish... yea.. I've no idea how to call it.. It's going to be a mess if I do it wrong xD
ok.. OH... I still need to do a picture for the Black and White! contest. jajajaja =D
Gawd, I hate my game at times.
Game's been running like a snail lately, so after intensive computer maintenance, and reinstalling both Origin and the base game, the game seems to be running a little smoother now. Have I mentioned how much I detest having to remain logged in to Origin in order to play the frickin' game? Thanks, EA, for making my laptop work harder than it should.... >:(
Right now I'm at the "I hate all custom content" place. It slows down everything about the game, especially the crap I've bought from the Sims 3 Store. Trouble is, I'm so used to having custom content in my game, that I don't know how much I'd enjoy playing without it. I try to limit the number of .ebc and .dbc files I have in the DCCache folder, but it's hard to do, considering the stuff I use all the time is either part of a world or a venue, where I can't pick and choose what I want to install. (Thanks, greedy Store people, for that. *snerk*) I've just tried playing with no custom content, and boy do my sims look bad, lol. I use a lot of Store clothes, so while they're all still rockin' the 3rd party custom content (no way I'm eliminating that), their clothing is sadly lacking.
Argh, why does this game have to be such a memory hog? WHY? (And don't get me started on The Sims 4, which is still a 32-bit game and I don't even know how the heck they can justify that when all other decent games out there are 64-bits and my laptop laughs at anything 32-bit....)
/end rant
Daily Update N5?
Not-so-daily update Number 5
Hello ladies, gents and.. aliens. xD
Yea, I'm still a but behind with a lot of things. I want to comment on every piece of clothing and screenshots..
And I still want to read the unread stories. And oh, bummer, there are so many.. o________o
+ I'm also busy with writing myself ARGH. I'm currently thinking about the end of Endless...
Here's a chance of.. when the end will be.
25% in Chapter 14
70% in Chapter 15
5% in chapter 16+
So as you can see.. it may be chapter 15, but I'm still not sure.. which means.. you guys will have to wait till chapt 14 is out.
----
Alright! I'm soon going to publish another sim on here. (I've been publishing 3 outside TSR lol.) But.. this one on here.. will be my first and last one, that uses sliders. I used sliders, due my urge to create this sim with great detail. & The person for who I've created this, accepted it that I'll be using sliders. So that's done.
I have to find a way though, to have all the sliders for you guys to be avaible in a not so hard way.. and I'm working on that ^^
Furthermore.. I had been planning on creating a house, and I saw someone with a request, not sure if he/she's going to accept it though. I haven't heard anything from him/her. So if I'm not getting an answer soon. I won't be doing that request anymore, and start with something by myself.
I've been creating 3 clothing.
1 - A bikini
2 - A simple dress
3 - Elsa's Coronation Dress.
Elsa's Coronation Dress, happened to be published some days ago. I'm still going to finish mine sometime, because I'm doing it for someone who had requested it on the forums. Since I've already half hand-painted the texture of my version and wasted a lot of time in it, I'm not just going to scrap it. =]
The simple dress is really, simple, but damn, I LOVE the texture. The mesh is partly modified by me ^^
The bikini is a simple texture change. =] (Not sure if I'll be publishing it though.)
YOU KNOW WHAT. I can simply create special clothing, for myself, without sharing. LOL, somehow that feels so satisfying. Sorry, now i'm being mean xD But I love to play with photoshop and creating stuff. So yea.
Oh man, what have I typed? LOL so much.
Anyways, I'm obviously still playing the game too. Currently I'm even doing some kind of Legacy Challenge and I oughted my self to not use any cheats and all that fancy stuff. OK.
That's it for now. BYE!
World in Development: Diamond Key
I am working on my first major word in Create-A-World for the Sims 3. It's called Diamond Key!
One of Diamond Key's lighted nature trails at sunset.
Diamond Key is a medium-sized island world. My main goals in designing this world are:
1. Mostly flat land to make for easy lot management for players and builders
2. Leave enough space between lots to allow players to delete the original lot and put another one of similiar size in it's place
3. Provide a few nice, non-cookie-cutter pre-built homes in different sections of the town
4. Keep custom content to a minimum to curtail size and make it easer to install
5. Provide beautiful, realistic, and original landscaping with spawners for exploration or storytelling
6. Create each section of the town around a basic theme
7. Build in simple but diversified transportation options
8. Provide enough scenery around lot areas to enhance picture-taking for lots
9. Design world with enough pre-existing Rabbit Holes to start a substantial game with little or no pre-building
Diamond Key World Specs:
World Size: Medium
Population: 0 (at present)
# Residential Lots:
# Non-Residential Lots:
# of Residential Lots with ready-built home: 3
Rabbit Holes included:
Courthouse
Mausoleum
Rustler's Den (Criminal Warehouse)
Required EPs: WA-AM-LN-GEN-PETS-SEAS-UL-IP
World Features:
I wanted to design a world with a small-town feel to both rural and urban areas, to look like an older town that has the "beautiful but slightly spooky" feel. Each section of town has it's own theme and contains flat or mostly-flat lots surrounded by theme-appropriate scenery. Old Miner's Town and Ancient Ruins feature lighted nature trails for sims to peruse and explore. Plenty of spawners, mostly theme-appropriate. Industrial Section and Wharf offer interactive objects such as chess, easel, and bonfire for sims to use ad lib. Town sections are each built around a theme as follows: Downtown, Boardwalk Beach, Old Lighthouse, The Swamp, The Wharf, Industrial Section, Business Section, Old Miner's Town, Ancient Ruins, Inland Lake, Farmland, and Banyan Peninsula. Other features include: 4 waterfalls, 4 bridges, mini-graveyard, inland lake. Most sections are accessible by roadways and sidewalks including navigable bridges. An extensive subway system accesses all parts of the island. Diamond Key currently has no custom content and no store content.
This is a work in progress. Please come back to my TSR page to check for updates or development news. When complete, I plan to make Diamond Key available via a mediafire link in the Create-A-World forum on this site.
Comments and/or constructive criticism is always welcome.
More Pictures of Diamond Key
Harvestables of all kinds can be found in all the navigable parts of Diamond Key.
Trails in Diamond Key feature themed scenery, seats, and lights.
Banyan Falls is one of four waterfalls in Diamond Key.
A pre-built lot in the Old Lighthouse section of town.
Old Mining Town's beautiful but spooky scenery invites only the bravest sims to explore.
The old mine is guaranteed to turn up rare (or not so rare) gems and metals.
The Industrial Section features intriguing urban locations including an old favorite, "The Grind".
Drifter/Homeless sims will find it easier to start life near the Industrial Section where useful items may be found among the scenery or in lots.
Downtown in Diamond Key, sims will find a mix of modern conveniences among scenery that hints at the town's history.
Wildlife are attracted to every part of Diamond Key.
Fishing spots are beautiful and easy to find.
What's Black and White and Red All Over!?
A Newspaper! (Get it? Red / Read).... ok fine! Black is the new white! Or maybe white is the new black... who can say for sure! What we can tell you is that we're having a screenshot contest and the theme is Black and White!
Take a screenshot in one of your Sims games (Sims 2 or Sims 3) and either transform it into black and white using an editing program, or simply make it as black and white as possible using objects and clothing that are already black and white. It never hurts to add a pop of color here and there, but the majority of the image should be black and white! Your shot can be anything related to Sims, but it must be PG-13.
Upload your screenshot to TSR, with the title 'Black and White!' To do that, click on Account at the top of the front page, scroll down to Edit Screenshots and click. Choose the tab at the top that says Submit Screenshot and fill in the information. Also, make sure you change the Public to Yes or no one will see it.
You may enter as many times as you like.
Entries must be submitted by 10PM EST on Saturday, August 9th 2014. Winners will be announced by Thursday, August 14th, 2014.
The first prize winner will see their screenshot on our Facebook page and will also receive a full month of VIP access to the site (no advertisements, use of the download basket, etc).
Second place will get two weeks of VIP access.
Third place will get one week of VIP access.
(If the winner is already a VIP, the time will simply be added to the number of days left on their current account.)
Good Luck and Have Fun!
Daily Update N4
Hello lovelies!
So... tomorrow I'll have my last test. Math, I'm ready for you. *puts jet-black sunglasses on*
After I've done the test. I'll take a nap. After a few hours, I'll wake up with a good feeling.
I've no idea what I'll be doing then. . . Oh well, I've to work at 5PM.. But man, there's 3 things I'm definitely going to do.
1. Reading every story I've had followed. I haven't been able to read every story on the site. A few, but I'm missing the latest ones! But I'll get uptodate soon. =]
2. Finishing a sim, and put it up for download! I've been working on a sim . . . . Soon.. you'll see.
3. Writing Endless. The name may be Endless, the story isn't. It's going to it's end. The question however is, when? Well, we'll see!
Waiting For The Sims 4
HELLO EVERYONE!
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I LEAVE TO CREATE THINGS FOR THE SIMS 3
I ENJOYED PLAING VERY MUCH! BUT I GOT A LITTLE BIT BORED OF IT
CANOT WAIT FOR THE SIMS 4!
WILL RETURN WHEN THE GAME ARRIVE WITH NEW AND FRESH STUFF!
ALAN
Er, story?
5000 or so words into a story, and I wonder why I keep adding ideas to this already behemouth piece. (You should see my notes, seriously...) My writing muse, she dreams in vividly colorful epics. Oh well, it's not like I haven't written 50-60,000 word novels already.
I just wonder how I'll post this on TSR...or even if I will post here. The places I want to take this story, it won't be approved I suspect. :\ This might end up on my Livejournal page.
Power of Pink Diningtable
I had to update the Power of Pink Diningtable because the Sim could eat, but not just sit at the Table. I'm sorry for the inconvinience.
So if you play and not only decorate in Game pls. redownload the Table. New Filename: ShinoKCRPowerofPinkDiningtableUpdatetAnim.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH EVERYBODY ******
Hello friends. I post this little message because you are likely to leave me messages and comments.
then I confess that I have so many messages that it is difficult to meet all the world very quickly.
So if sometimes I long to answer. Know that I will.
Thank you all for your support. You are my inspiration.
Friendly.jomsims.
Frustrated.
Dang it, why does Isla Paradiso have to be such a buggy world to play? I've even got ellacharmed's less buggy version of the world (via MTS) installed, and still after an hour of game play, the freaking world stutters, sticks, and lags. *throws things*
Daily Update N3
Hello! Hm.. Why am I even calling these daily updates.. I'm not even doing it daily.. I'll work on that though.. xD
Anyways, this week, I've an exam week. Starting of with some beautiful french literature. Sigh... =o=
I've been writing, and I'm already hitting the 38 pages, and it may go on to 50 or even more? We'll see! ^^
I haven't been continuing any cc projects. I only need to draw the texture for Elsa's dress and some other fancy stuff for it, and that's it. I have sooo many ideas to create and such! Which I'll definitely be doing, after I've finished this examweek!
And oh goodness, so many stories have been accepted, but I can't read them all at once T ^ T ; SUCKS.. well, it's alright. there's enough time! Time to re-read my french and then heading to bed soon ^ __^
BYE!
sorry for taking so long
I'm sorry if I took too long. I have been a Wiccan, Episcobal, Christian, and Catholic all my life. Schizophrenic and bipolar that I really am. I hope things turn out to be better. Leave me a comment and I'll be in touch. ty
About the next chapter...
I know, I know. I haven't submitted the next chapter of The Wicked Entice. I'm working on it, I promise. I was also doing the next chapter of A Moth to a Flame, thinking that would help spark something for the next chapter of TWE, but no luck. I'm just really, really stuck. I am completly clueless as to what I want to write next. I mean, I do know what I want to write, but can't seem to get it down. It's so frustrating. Anyway, sorry for the delay. I will submitt it as soon as I get around to finishing it, I just have no idea on when that will be. Sorry guys.
Daily Update N2
Hello ^-^
So, I will be inactive till saturday, 21st of June. It's my last schoolweek and I need to finish some important projects and such. But no, it's not done yet.. Next week I'll have a schoolweek, with only test, actually "schoolexams". They are not my finals yet, but yea, I need to work for these too and study, but it won't bother my free tiem much, since I'm quite confident about it ^ - ^
However, for now I need every single hour to sleep, work, and do schoolwork. *sigh* I already started with Chapter 13 of Endless, and I'm making little progress with my next creation.. However, the next creation, will not be published on TSR, due some minor bugs with the mesh, and I'm way too lazy to fix it now.
I'll do a revision of it, during my summer vacation, and that one will be posted on TSR ^^
Well, that's it for now.
Byebye! Take care !

Computer Problems
Hi everyone!!!! I'm still around. As some of you already know I have been having computer problems. But, as soon as I'm able, I'll be creating again! Stay tuned!
Eh
Since the 'Submission' part of this site takes a little too long, I decided to make a wordpress blog and post there as well.
I'll be writing two stories simultaneously so bear with me, please.
Support will be appreciated too!
Daily Update
I've catched up with a few stories, but I still need to read some, while writing my own story too!
Endless - Chapter 12 has been submitted, and has been waiting for.. 1 day already? I think, to be published. It's quite a normal, not so much action chapter, but there's important information.. and a little twist.. I'm already writing chapter 13, but I haven't started taking the screenshots.
Currently I've started writing two other stories. Hell yes, you read that correctly, t w o.
Beside these stories, I've been working on two new clothing, and I'm still working on a sim. The sim has a deadline, so she's on my number one spot now! Well, now I'm going back to my books. Tomorrow will be my math test ^^ It's quite easy.
BUT OH MY GOODNESS. one normal schoolweek left, and then I'll have my schoolexamweek.. *screams and runs in circles*
I can do it... =[ .. yes.. I can.. yes... *oh dear plumbobs* XD
New Things Coming Soon!!
Hello dear Simmers and TSR friends!
I just wanted to make a small announcement, for whoever wants to read it and maybe leave a comment.
As of late I have been working on a few things with TSR Workshop, that I am now going to test and then hopefully share with you guys very soon. Maybe, if you guys like my creations, I can squeeze in a little bit more time for creating new things, like houses or maybe even work on a new dress re-texture for you. No promises, but I can try. Maybe I'll even be able to make some Make-Up for your Simmies :-)
Anyway, that's it for now. See you soon-ish!

New house and new family in Sunset Valley!!!
In Edit Town, I've created a new simple house and a new Sims Family, The Nightwoods.
For some unknown reason, the picture cannot be displayed in the TSR blogpost, so here is the link to my deviantart: http://fav.me/d7lrhcl
Looking good huh?
My first Blog!
Hi everyone! I know I have been gone from TSR for quite a few months. It's been mostly due to family matters. We moved for one thing. I did all the sorting, packing and cleaning with the move from the old house. Then I did all the cleaning, unpacking, setting up in the new house. I thought it would take me forever! And it did take me close to a month to recover. Then my oldest daughter and her boyfriend of 13 years finally decided to get married! It turned out to be a wedding fit for a princess, she was absolutely beautiful. The wedding would have cost a kings ransom had it not been for all the hard work put in by her younger sister and older half-sister. And finally, at the urging of my guild members on Everquest 2, and the release of a fantastic new Everquest 2expansion, I started putting more time into that game and less and less into creating Sims. I want to thank everyone here at TSR that loves my work and messaged me wondering where I was at and telling me they miss me. I really appreciate it. I still love making Sims and I do plan on getting back into making them. I know that I found my catagory or area of Sims subjects I like to create, and that is making Sim 3 versions of fantasy, scifi, TV and anime characters. I dont know much much more of a following it will get me. I would love someday to be invited to be a Select or Featured Artist, and I know that demands dedication and the hard work of not giving up on your creations. So I hope to start creating more Sims and submitting them again. Thank you everyone!!
Meh
Hello everyone, I'm so sorry for my delay with my story, I'm trying to make progress, which goes pretty well. Except, me, having 3 new stories in mind.. =___= OH, WHY, oh WHY, I feel so itchy to start the new stories already, but I pleaded to myself to finish Endless first.. Ok, this is going to be a roaring week!
I'll have a busy time though, my exams are coming closer and closer, in 4 weeks, and I will need to prepare a little bit for it. My grades are nice so far, so I'll probably easily pass this year, and will happily graduate to my senior year! ^__^
Enough talk. Time to write again, while I'm also creating a new clothing... *winks*
Fashion
Fashion is most important in sims! You want your sims to look rich and awesome! I have a tip. GO TO TSR AND FIND CC!
The sims doesnt come with lots of things to wear so you can shop for FREE in TSR. Its like a whole new sims store out there.
