*UPDATE*

Ok, So I joined a sim forum, and I had to totally update my look and stuff....O.o

Here's a new edit.


and

My banner...

My friend showed me how to put another background behind a sim in GIMP (I only knew in PS)
and...I like it better, but then I figured out my own way, and it's easier, and the cut is clearer.

Lunar Lakes & India Inspiration Store Set Pictures!

Yes. I know this is old news...but, Lunar Lakes is awesome!
I am more of a Sunset Valley/RiverView and hidden Springs kinda gal so you're getting input from someone who prefers those towns. I was about wandering between the town and I saw a sim, so I went to go look at the sim...and...well...

She was wearing blue polka dots?
I saw more in the corner and saw 3 people in a row standing that looked EXACTLY like her. I was horrified but laughing at the same time.

Scary. D:

I also moved to and from a couple houses...and they don't have my favorite architecture...:/

Ignore the fortune teller thing, I was trying it out. 
This is the house farthest away from the town behind all the mountains.
Extremely Ugly. :/

The town itself über pretty! :)
That ugly house that was in the previous picture.



 Alright. I'm in a different house now. And ^ this is what the first bed room looked like. ¬.¬
Well, Here is the India Set at the store! The floor is form Generations. The wall was customized. The dresser lights thing is from ShowTime, and the two chairs and fortune teller are a different store set.

Giant TV from ShowTime.
I <3 the India Inspiration stuff, it's really pretty. The clothing is perfect for the Genie's in ShowTime and they are just adorable.
I really recommend getting it. :)
My view of Lunar Lakes from my window.
Another clip of Lunar Lakes from my window. 


SimPort...More like FailPort?!

SimPort is a cool little add on from ShowTime. It enables your sims to be sent to other games so it can perform on their stages and other things. You cannot control your sim while they are being sent away nor can they control your sim. I went to my friends list, to go send my sim away just for trying...and I got a little error that asked me to raise default handle or something! Well, Once I clicked "yes" it sent my game down meaning, it crashed it...D: No more SimPort time for me! >.< Grr!
Just thought I'd share that.

Anyone know why?

Oh well. Just opening Lunar Lakes now for the first time! :)

Anyone know where to get Hidden Springs decrapified? :)
Thanks!

Woo! Evelyn's a model for Le Rouge Photography!

Bald Sims On Your Mac Computer? Here's A Solution!




                                Not  Evelyn -->





Ok, I'm sure a lot of you MAC users
(I'm one of them)
experiences certain hairs, and CC
NOT working, for instance,
they install but show up
invisible or bald. Like the hair shown on the picture of this bald beauty.

"How Do I solve this?!"
Whenever you install a .package file,
The stuff doesn't work! >.<
What you do, Is every time you install a .package file, you go and delete a file in your 'The Sims 3' folder.
Here's a screenshot to help you out.


Open your finder.

Open Your 'Documents' folder, from your finder.

I doubt I need to screenshot this next step.
Go to Electronic Arts,
Then, 'The Sims 3'
You should have already been at the folder, considering you just installed a .package file.


This, or similar, is what your 'The Sims 3' folder should look like, I hadn't scrolled all the way down, so I couldn't capture every single file/folder in there. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING YET!!
Now, I shall tell you what to delete so that your hairs/accessories/other junk works.

You see the little files that look like this floating around your 'The Sims 3' folder? 
The ones that say *******Cache.package? 
Delete ALL the Cache files. 
DO NOT GO INTO ANY FOLDERS INSIDE THE 'The Sims 3' FOLDER! JUST DELETE THE ONES IN THE SIMS 3 FOLDER! 

Now, To quickly sum things up, 
Go 
Finder>Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3
All Cache files. 
Remember! Once you go into The Sims 3 folder, 
Delete the Cache files! DO NOT GO INTO ANY OF THE FOLDERS WITHIN THE SIMS 3 AND DELETE STUFF. 
Also, Every time you install a .package file, delete those Cache files. They always remake themselves when you open the game! 

And, Thar you go! :) 


Outdoor Lighting Mod! By dDefinder on MTS(UNSAFE)

*UPDATE*
I don't think this mod is safe for your games. I installed it, and gameplay was not able. :/ Sorry. DO NOT INSTALL THIS.







I'm always scoping out ways to improve my game, or overwrite EA's habit of....well, you get the gist.
In case you reeeeally want this, but too lazy to read the whole dang thing, Here's a little info needed.
1. There is different options for brightness/darkness at night. - Balanced, Darker, Lighter.
Only Choose One!!
I, Personally have chosen Balanced. Darker is more realistic, but it's so dark, you can't really navigate around at night. Brighter is similar to the EA default, just a little darker and little more realistic.
This mod isn't all about lighting at night. It also improves shadows, making them more realistic, and make sense according to the position to the sun. This mod DOES interfere with OTHER LIGHTING MODS!!
Therefore; I do NOT recommend having other sunlight mods.
This mod also kinda varies weather. What I mean by that, is NO, NOT RAIN, and lightning and such, but the sky lighting does vary between days. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 


I have NOT installed this yet. All game failures due to this mod, I am not and will not be responsible for.
Happy Simming! :)
Enjoy the mod!
Now I can finally take outdoor photos! :)
I recommend reading the info for this mod, because I might have missed something and I would feel terrible about misleading you. :)


GET THE MOD HERE! CLICK THIS!

Alrighty, I hope the creator/author of this mod doesn't mind, but here's one of their screenshots.
I DID NOT take this picture. dDefinder on MTS did.

Evelyn Head Shot & Facial Shot

Just so you should know,
I am a photoshop artist in the making. I am practicing to become excellent, I guess you could say. When
I create edits of Evelyn (my Avi, which is spread all over this blog), I just take basic shots of her, showing off her outfit, then in Photoshop Elements, I brighten her eyes and in GIMP sometimes I add make up.
I would not like to share my other creations using Photoshop because they contain other sims, (in which I DO NOT want to share...xD)

I also WILL be offering my beloved Evelyn out to those who do Sim Modeling as well.
Some Basic Head Shots.

Head Shot Containing Short Hair/No Makeup (except eyelashes and pale skin tone lip gloss set on low opacity)

VERY USEFUL HAT SLIDE! (Quick Post&Review!)

#aWT: Slider Set: "Hat Control": "I finally got around finishing this project! This set of sliders manipulate the "HatGrip" bone, identified as b__Hat_grip__ {#4952E727} ..."

Sorry to just pop up with such short note, but in case any of you haven't seen this already...Here is a link to a slider that can move hats up and down and twirl around so they FIT WITH HAIR! That's right! Those big headed peggy hairs can now have something to wear on them without it intersecting! :D

*NOTE* 
*Not all hats work with this slide. To get further info go to the link above.*


This slide is trusty, because I see many many many people using this, with the only complaint of some n00b creators fault at not making the hat on a certain bone. :)

I have a issue though...My Jaw slides don't work when I have other new slides installed. -.-"
I shall ask someone about this issue, until then...enjoy! :)

Tom And Annabelle & Marcisz Creations. Links. Updates.

I work with PhotoShop and GIMP,
I'll list CC and my favorite tutorials,


AND, A up coming story.
It has vampires and other wicked things.

Until then,
Let me throw out/shout out some amazing things you should already know about!
(AND Creators!)

Right now, I am totally digging "Tom And Annabelle"
This story contains futuristic content and story line.
Everything they do is really high quality, and they don't really use 3rd party CC! (Unlike me). Their characters are all different and unique, some containing green sims! Every Chapter looks high quality, and amazing.

Link To Tom And Annabelle (blog): Currently Chapter 19
Link To Download The Kethrin & Characters household: Kethrin Household!
Link To FaceBook Page(They have comics!): FaceBook Page! (Hilarious Comics!)

Alrighty, Next I shall showcase a house creator.
They have lots of CC in their houses. Marcisz Creations!
See Them Here: They Create Other Stuff Too, But their houses are best

Looks like that's it today folks! :)


<-- Evelyn

And...Ta dah!
Here I am!

Not sure what the point of this blog is, maybe just to keep track in my journey of sims!
I'll host stories, poses (maybe, still working on that), Contests and CC!
I hope you enjoy my presence in your all wicked minds.

This simmy, by the way is Evelyn and she is my Avi! :D
