The TSR VIP Lottery on Facebook
Many of you play our Facebook VIP lottery every day but I bet you've always wondered how it works...
1. What is the lottery?
The VIP Lottery on Facebook is a showcase for four of our Featured Artist's creations that have been published within the last few days.
2. How do I enter?
Visit our Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/TheSimsResource ) and locate the most recent lottery post (It should be pinned to the top of the page). Look through the four images and click 'Like' on the items you love.
3. What's the prize?
Two days of VIP access (Learn more about VIP here - https://www.thesimsresource.com/shop ).
4. What if I am already a VIP?
That's great! The two days will be added to your current VIP balance.
5. How do you pick the winners?
We randomly select two names from a list of people who 'Liked' the post.
To be more precise, we make a list of every name that appears on each image (so if each image has 50 likes, we'll have 200 names). Then, using a random number generator from the people at MathGoodies ( http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html ), we enter 0 and the number of names on the list and get a random number. Finally, we scroll down the list and match that random number to a name.
Since we're picking two winners each day, we do this twice.
6. Can I win more than once?
Yes! It is entirely random.
7. How do I know if I've won?
We announce the winners on Facebook and Twitter in a new post before we start the next day's lottery.
8. Where do you get the screenshots you use to announce the winners?
The screenshots we use are from the Featured Screenshots, in the Community section of the website ( http://www.thesimsresource.com/screenshots/browse/category/user/ ).
Create A World
Hello everyone, I've been lost in Create-A-World land the past few weeks! Don't worry - I'm still going to create and submit more great lots, when I get my world done. And I'll post pictures of my new world too!
Happy Simming!
Sims 3 CC!!
Hey! Well, i'm African-American and i would like ethnic hair. So if any of you guys could make hairs with that texture.. Or give me some sights. AND, i would like to have a website or two that gives out more cc. I already use tumblr, but i just need more cc. Differen't things. I like to change up my outfits & add different styles.
I can't edit my profile.
Hello there,
Just wanted to ask people how to edit my profile, so that I can change my picture to one of the pictures that I have uploaded here. So far my profile just looks plain and I would like to jazz it up a bit, so any help here would be most appricated. And I am betting that it is going to be something so simple, isn't it?! Oh well, please comment if you can help me thank you.

Daily Update
Hello you ♥(ノ´∀`)
Currently, I'm quite busy with school. And my health ain't working along. But things are going better now, and I'm busy with doing school stuff and trying to update my story, as soon as possible! Though, I feel like playing League of Legends too.. Argh! Decisions, decisions.. they have to be made! D=
My Misadventures in Custom Content
Sooooo, I decided that I was going to get all fancy and make custom content. I already have Photoshop, and am relatively proficient at using it, so I figured how hard could it be? Then I ran into one major issue. The fact that I run OSX and not Windows. I haven't owned a Windows-based PC in about four years, and up to this point, I had been lucky in the sense that it hadn't prevented me from being able to do something. Until now. Because I hadn't ever really branched out into creating CC before, I was blissfully unaware that everything developed to insert custom content was made solely for Windows. Now I'm not going to sit here and whine about the notion that nobody has developed something that can be used on OSX. I understand, while there have been some major gains in the number of people running OSX, Windows is by far the most commonly used operating system in the world, and it makes absolutely perfect sense that what is being developed is using what is arguably the standard when it comes to operating systems. However, it was definitely an eye-opening situation. I hadn't thought too much into how much work goes into making CC, and this whole debacle makes me appreciate the creative people who are behind some of the amazing CC that has been uploaded. Of course, my attempt might have been complicated by the technical issues, and maybe it's not as difficult as it appears to be. Nevertheless, I am bowing out gracefully from the world of creating CC. At least until I can get past this technological roadblock! So for now, my creations will continue to be without any kind of CC, since I struck out on my attempt to create my own, and I respect the hard work of others entirely too much to add something that is not my own creation (or at least part of the software that I paid for).
And I also want to give a big thank you to those who have downloaded my lots so far. I have really enjoyed making them, and I hope that everyone who downloaded is enjoying using them in their game!
Kings Landing/Red Keep WIP
Still working on the Red Keep. It's on a 60x60 lot so I've got my work cut out for me.
I've completed the Throne Room (I'm using the Baratheon layout over Joffrey's makeover, BTW),
and the Small Council chamber (which I put in the same building as the Throne Room, to save space),
and in Maegor's Holdfast I completed Cersei's bedroom and Joffrey's, too.
It's got the drawbridge and everything, and a small basement area beneath the moat.
Next I have to do the Tower of the Hand, then I have to do the White Sword Tower, make Lord Varys' room, the kitchens and such, and then it's just landscaping, and then I'll be done! :)

Taking a break
Hello everyone! I am taking a short break from creating until the end of May/beginning of June. I am graduating in high school and it is the hectic time of final exams these weeks. I am very busy with studying but, once it is all over, I will get back to creating. I miss creating very much and I can't wait to connect with all of you again and share my new creations with you! See you all soon, take care! :)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Working on a new set to match the Adam Livingroom
A new diningroom to match the Adam Living room.. still in the early beginning of this work in progress but fun to show none the less..
For more info and updates please like this page
Working on a couple of new lots...
...and I'm pretty excited about them! Right now I'm working on the finishing touches on a waterfront estate that has some really awesome features, and I can't wait to share it with everyone! I'm also starting construction on a smaller home, one that is going to be a lower budget lot, to try to expand my building and as a (temporary) departure from the super luxury homes that I can't seem to stop building. I'm setting a limit for a furnished cost of 100,000 Simoleons or less on the new property. Seeing as my usual furnished lots run in the range of about 500,000 Simoleons, this is going to be difficult, but I am looking forward to it and I'm up to the challenge!
I have not been using Custom Content in my home designs. Everything used comes from the base game and the expansions that I have. While I do have some Custom Content that I use in lots for my personal Sims, I choose not to use it in the lots that I upload and share. Part of the reason is the file size issue, the other that I do not want to step on anyone's toes by using their creations in something I am presenting as my own work. I have tried to make my own Custom Content, but I found it so difficult and frustrating that I have even more respect for those who create some of the amazing things I have seen on TSR!
Okay, enough rambling for now. Hopefully my newest lot will be ready for submission in the very near future, I think people are going to love it! :)
4 MILLION DOWNLOADS ACHIEVED !
It's 2degC outside, but I'm warm [happy dance in progress here!] .. . . just passed the 4milliion downloads mark . . I think that's pretty cool for an old duck.
Thanks to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the 10 months since 3million . . . I am really speechless, truth be told . . . . but I could not have come this far without you all. I may be a creator, but you ROCK.

Time for a new story!
So, as the title says, I think it's time for a new story. I'm still doing The Wicked Entice, and like i've said before, I am no where near done with it, and it's already in freakin chapter 20 some. BUT I want to start writing something else, especially since i'm kinda getting stuck with TWE... The new story's gonna be called A Moth to A Flame or like a moth to a flame? I don't know yet. Anyways, I'm not going to say what it's about, because if I do, it's going to ruin everything. Let's just say it's about a girl whose world starts changing, starting with her sister being erased. Not missing..erased. dum dum dum duhhhhhm (you understood what sound i was going for right?) Hopefully whoever you are that is reading this, you'll like the story.
Holy sims..
I.. I ... I can't even T___T I'm so in love with these characters... I'm currently recreating sims, which I've lost, because I forgot to create a back up of them.. (A long time ago). Lukcily I've plenty of screenshots.. so I can try to create the magain and man.. I'm so in love with them :'( The memories!
Alright! I'm going to continue now, while writing chapter 11 and something else. (I man, I actually have to take the screenshots too... well, maybe later. hehehehe.
We are moving out today!!!
I just wanted to let you all know why I haven't been here as much as usuall... We are moving out today!!! After 7 months of remodeling our new home, we are moving today to our new house!!!! I hope I will be back in a few weeks with some new sets for you after my pc is installed again.
So happy simming!!!
Wattpad & More!
Hello ladies and gentlemen!
It's been a while again since my last post, I think? Not sure. And I'm too lazy to check it out, to be sure. Anyways, I'm currently busy, with working and all that blobs.. so I barely had any time to stary up my game, take screenshots, or look at the amazing new cc that has been posted here or other sites D: which makes me quite sad. It's so much! Though, my game probably can't handle any new cc.
Anyways, I've re-created a new wattpad account! And I'm currently rewriting Sudden End in another version. A bit more extensive, and some parts have been cut out / edited. So yes, it's a bit different. & it's the first time that I'm doing that.. xD IF you're interested in it, check my Wattpad! => Wattpad Click!
I will probably do the whole Sudden End story ^^ . But I don't think that I'm going to do that with Endless. Well! If you happen to read this blog post, I'll tell you this. I'm still writing Endless, but I'm planning on writing another story too. It's a surprise, about what the story is. It's probably not going to be really long, perhaps just like Sudden End. Around 9-10 chapters? Well, I'm not sure though, it depends on my inspiration, and how many people like it. ^-^
Tomorrow I'll be finishing Sudden End, well that's what I'll try to do.. and immediately start with chapter 1 of this surprise story.. yes, no introduction. It's not really needed, if you ask me.
That's it for today! Have a beautiful day, person who's reading this.. xD.. post? hahaha.
Sims 3 Sail Streetlight and Greek Pot
I'm hard at work on making objects. I don't think I've make a good start in making objects on my previous entries. I would say always start with something comtemporty hence why I chosen the sail lamp posts as my next design, which taken me 3 days to model and the Ancient Greek Pot was the next one to get to know how to apply traditional textures onto 3D meshes and because it was easy compared to other objects that I want to do in the future. Here are the links of my previously submited objects for the Sims 3.

My first 1000 downloads!
You have to start somewhere... and I've now had over 1,000 downloads of my patterns. More to come - stay tuned!
Kitchen Set
For some time now i have been trying to create a new Pink and black kitchen set. Half of it is at my website DarkAngelSims Im trying to create some kitchen clutter, or just recolouring some objects, but its hard to find the good stuff.
Spring Cleaning
I have been working on many new creations to share but I have been frustrated with my game crowded with a lot of unnecessary content causing the game to run very slowly. This has been a huge set back in the motivation to build houses, sims, etc. That being said, I will soon be back at it as I have been going through a major game cleaning. I have been trying to lineup a variety of content to share, so there will be a series of downloads. I am very excited to share everything I have been working on as I really appreciate being able to share my content.
Talk to you soon!

Hello beautifuls!
So, I've been busy again, lately. Well, I have to put all my time into presentations and learning for tests =o=' I really long for the 2week vacation.. but I'll need to work for 2 more weeks, untill I can be lazy for a week.
I had said my next chapter would come quick, I'm done with the text, only need to take the screenshots, but my lovely game had been doing strange.
Tried to find the problem, but no, suddenly it worked fine again. Game, what are you doing? D:
So, I guess I'll finish the chapter this monday, or tuesday. Depends ^o^ Or maybe today.. but I doubt it, because I need to work today :'(
That's it for this blogpost. ^o^
BB ! Have a beautiful day c:
Hair Prom updated
Hair Prom was updated, changed CAS priority, so it has not conflicts with transparent clothing now. And also fixed assigning on High LOD for people who played on middle settings.
You can redownload it here: Download
If someone interested how to did hair without conflicts with transparent clothing. Go to TSRW(import hairstyle or if you are creator of your own hair - open your project)->Open Edit -Project Contents, then find CASP. Open it with s3pe( Right click of mouse), you must have s3pe plugin for TSRW.
In s3pe click on CASP and then click on Grid button.
Change Overlay Priority to 0x00000008 ( you had 0x00000006 for all hairs) and click Commit, then click File - Save and close s3pe. then cback to TSRW and click OK, now you can export your hair.
Why I change to 0x00000008? 0x00000008 will be good because these priority have all accessories and they have priority to be visible over all clothing and hairs. Also it is good because clothing have 0x00000005,0x00000007 and 0x00000006 and shaders in transparent clothing and transparent hair have some conflicts with visibility(hair has 0x00000006, outfits have also 0x00000006).
Solid-texture objects as always are visible over all they are wear - there is some interesting priority, that all solid-texture object don't conflict with transparent.
Bunkbed Gothic Children is updated
The Animation for the upper Bed did not work right. I have made a new File (does not overwrite the old File) with the fixed Animation.
You can download it here: http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/1220977
