Before we start, I'd just like to say one thing: this is a site dedicated to Sims 2. I'm afraid you won't find any Sims 3 content here; well, at least not for the foreseeable future, given that I am less than bowled-over by the latest installment in the Sims franchise. OK, if that hasn't deterred you, then please feel free to poke around, download anything that might catch your eye, and (hopefully) enjoy using it in your game.

Comments are always very well received, and are guaranteed to give me a nice, warm, fuzzy glow. Oh, and please do feel free to subscribe, add me as a friend, whatever.

If you have an urge to read my policy/TOU doodah, you can find it here.

Now for the legal bit *coughs importantly*...

Nothing new here I'm afraid: just a joint effort by myself and [personal profile] zerographic, in answer to a GoS Wishing Tree request from a little while ago, that I thought I would chuck on here for completeness; it might be new for some though.

I was hoping to have a little New Year gift ready, but nothing is going right, so I'm sorry but it seems unlikely. :(

In the meantime, have some old stuff...

For those who haven't yet found mine (or anyone else's) Advent gifts at GoS, do come and have a look.

As a little teaser...

I made a boo-boo. I'm very sorry.

If you have previously downloaded my 'The Snake & the Moon' eyeshadows from this year's GoS Advent event, then please go along and redownload them.

I noticed last night that they were not layering correctly with eyeliners (they were layering over rather than under liners), but I have now fixed them.

Thanks, sorry once again for the inconvenience, and lots of festive felicitations to everyone!

I don't often do personal, 'real-life' posts. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever done one before. And to be honest, this probably won't be all that personal anyway.

It's just that I'm a very long way from home this week, and unable to talk to my very good friend, when I could actually do with having a jolly good vent at her and having her tell me, in her own blunt but caring way, to get a grip on myself!

You see, sometimes my head gets in a muddle. It gets worked up over something, going over and over the issue with no resolution; I guess this probably happens to everyone at some point. But it's doing it right now, and I really wish it wasn't, as it's most inconvenient and uncomfortable. It was inevitable really, given the circumstances, but stupidly I wasn't really prepared and I'm not dealing with it all that well.

Still, I'll be home in four days. Just four days and I can give my friend a ring and hopefully sort my head out. Until then, I'm afraid, dear Friends' list, it's just you, me and my cryptic, rambling nonsense.

I had way too much fun making these. They represent my take on recolouring a previously-unreleased set of eyes by Jessi, as requested on Le GoS by Lilyth, along with a slight edit of the pupil to shift it down and make it a little more forward looking.

Without further ado, have some pictures, courtesy of the lovely Nabila:



Aye, aye... )

OK, thanks to ZeroDark, who gallantly tested out a new version of the shading overlay for the headband for me, I can now share it with the world:


DOWNLOAD BOW HEADBAND SHADING OVERLAY V2


NOTE: you will probably find that you need to adjust the opacity to suit your texture - in particular I would suggest reducing the opacity for light-coloured textures.

That's it!

Oh, except for the next new download, that I'll hopefully be posting later today. :)

Hold On

To the 9 lovely people who have so far downloaded the shading overlays for the 'I Want Candy' set: the marvellous ZeroDark has noticed a bit of an issue with the overlay for the bow (it makes the textures look a bit funky), which I am currently trying to resolve. So, please stay tuned and I'll upload a modified version shortly.

Yet another request, this time for Emilia: TS2 conversions of some very cute accessories by Lemonleaf. The lovely Leesa really thinks you should download them today!



make Leesa happy, and come this way to download... )

Part two of a request at GoS by Maaron - this time n-a-n-u's 'Selle Living' gets the conversion treatment:






Come on and jump to the beat... )

Last month's theme at GoS was Art Nouveau. It's not a style that I've ever really paid much attention to before, but I discovered a bit of a love for it during the theme, and came up with this as my contribution: a beautiful piece of furniture by the incredible Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, translated from real life to the best of my ability.

There is more information about Rennie Mackintosh here, and on this piece in particular here.



Come and get me! )

Since I first posted these at GoS a couple of weeks ago, I have fixed a small issue with the plain seating recolours (maybe no one else noticed, but it was bugging me), so please redownload these below. New downloaders please note that the full download has also been updated, so there is no need to download the fixed recolours separately. Plus, it also occurred to me that base-game-compatible meshes might be a good idea, for those without Pets (or any other EP that might affect the functionality of the objects) - these can also be downloaded separately below, and should work with the existing recolours.

Anyway... a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (forgive me, my inner geek is showing), Maaron requested TS2 conversions of some TS3 sets originally by Nanu. Here, finally, is the first set, all done and dusted.



It's all happening under here, come and join the party... )

The Gift

It's that time of year again! Yes, Christmas-in-July at GoS has come, and gone, but the goodies remain.

Firstly, I was lucky enough to have Sentate as my santa, and if you haven't already done so, you must go and grab my amazing gift:

Also, since both my own santees decided to share their gifts, I thought I might as well post them here too.

For Eva (eefje00704) I made a set of medievalish-themed stuff, including 'hood deco, walls, floors and terrains, and some recolours of the Maxis roof:

Photobucket

For Izza (sims_by_izza) I made a set of dresses with stompy boots, Pook'd makeup and vintage wallpapers:

So, [personal profile] sixtylilies (Azaya)'s current asylum challenge posts have inspired me to have a go at it myself... it looks like fun, and boy do I need fun.

The thing is, I've never tried any sort of Sims challenge before, and I'm completely ignorant as to how to go about it, so I was wondering whether any of the kind people on my friends' list could suggest a site with a good explanation of the rules? Chances are I might bend them to suit me anyway, unless that would make it not worth posting?

I'm also feeling a bit shy about people seeing my real game, and my real Sims, in action, so you have to promise not to laugh - unless of course you're meant to laugh.

I haven't forgotten about this, honest... )
