Final Update For 2014

Happy New Years Eve everyone! I hope you all had wonderful Christmas & Hanukkah (or whatever other special holidays you celebrate in your culture)celebrations! I have three very happy kids whom were spoiled by Santa!

I have one small update for this last day of 2014 for you all. A clock - its the actual clock that hangs in my kitchen - I previously created a wallpaper with the clock image - but that was long before I figured out how to use Sims PE :)

That is an awful selfie of me - so pretend I'm not there lol. Behind me is a picture of the actual clock, its one I bought when I worked for At Home America a few years backs. The clock never tells the correct time, even with fresh batteries but I love the design, plus the shades of gold & red match my kitchen rather well.

And my simmed version of the clock. I used Adele's Rister Clock for the mesh, with her permission, the mesh is included in the RAR file.

***On a minor note, I've noticed some of the download links I posted in previous updates weren't clickable, so I went back and fixed all the links this was happening with.***

Enjoy and have a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Years Celebration!!

Crystal Sims 2 Llano & Chateau d'Ax sofas....recolored

I love Crystal Sims 2 Creations, especially two of CS's sofa sectionals - the ones from the Llano set and from the Chteau d'Ax set. I've mentioned this before, I've been working on a Simmed version of my real house (just completely renovated lol), the section from CS Chteau d'Ax set is identical to my real sofa, just shade of brown is a little lighter than my actual sofa, so I've made two recolors of it. I've also recolored the sofa from the Llano set because its one of my favorites and needed a few additional color options for it.

Since the site has closed down a while ago and there's no archive anywhere that I know of, I've included the meshes for you.

Picture's of my recolors of the Chteau D'Ax sofa:

Note: The chair seen in this picture is from Sim's In Paris, living room 5 (you might be able to grab it from here: http://archive.sims.shanegowland.com/mirror/Sims%20In%20Paris/)

Kitchen Art....

Designing my "real home" in the Sims, I needed a bit of art that resembled something I've designed for my actual kitchen. My own real kitchen has a red/beige/yellow color scheme going on, and I've designed several art pieces to match it. This piece is just one of those that hang in my actual kitchen.

A Frozen Little Girl's Room...

What little girl doesn't love Disney's Frozen? My daughter is completely obsessed, so I created this little set just for her. In this set, I made curtains (mesh by Sims In Paris included), 4 rugs (you need H&M Stuff pack), bedding, and a poster(requires Night Life).

Enjoy! Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate and if I don't get a chance to get back here before next week, Merry Christmas!

Dinosaur Kids Room

My nine year old son LOVES dinosaurs. He knows just about everything about all of them that have been discovered thus far. He knows about many I haven't even heard of, and for him, I made this little bedroom set.

Included in the set is the bedding (bunk bed not included, you can find it at Sassy Sims Blog), a rug(mesh: Do A Little Turn Rug - from H&M Stuff Pack), curtains (mesh from Avalon Sims 2, included), & some art work (requires Seasons - mesh used: A Home For All Seasons Painting).

The bedding doesn't look great on double beds, the pattern is way off center, and no matter what I done, I couldn't figure out how to center it without screwing up the single bed art work. But its really meant for a kids bed anyway, not many kids that I know have double beds :)

Comfy Recliner for Man's Cave

Was working on a home theater/man's cave, the Cheap Ez Recliner is my favorite recliner to match this theme, has just the right look for a home theater recliner, just not the right color to match what I was going for. When I recolored it, I was going for a darker black look, but the way it came out, it looks like a soft black suede texture which I actually really like :) . I believe the Cheap EZ Recliner aka Puffy Recliner is base game compatible.

Because We Need A Little Christmas....

The Holidays are upon us once again, that wonderful time of year when we're shopping for presents, decorating the houses all, drinking eggnog & having loads of fun!

The Walking Dead Bedroom Project....

Wasn't planning to have something ready for another few weeks but I started working on building "My House" (and I say that with quotes because its more or less my house, if I had an extra $250,000 lying around to fully renovate to the caliber I'm designing it as in the game) and I asked each of my children what theme they'd like for their bedrooms. My 11 1/2 year old son requested his absolute favorite TV show (and one of my favorites too), The Walking Dead.

There's really no TWD themed custom creations anywhere on the web for The Sims 2 so I got to work. I've come up with a bedding set, some curtains, some rugs, and a few posters that seem appropriate for a pre-teen boys bedroom without going overboard. Now my son still hasn't seen what I made, I've decided to surprise him when he gets home from school this afternoon - so you guys are all getting first peek :)

The hardest part of this set was getting the bedding texture right. Took me two tries but I'm satisfied with the results.

One a double bed the pattern kind of repeats itself but I actually think thats kind of cool in a way so I left it alone.

Closeup of the pillows:

There's three rugs in total in this set - The walker "Hannah" rug above as well as the "Don't Open, Dead Inside" require the H&M Fashion Stuff Pack and the "The Walking Dead" mat requires Family Fun Stuff.

The Curtain's - you'll need Avalon Sims' 2 Jia Curtain Meshes for these, which I have included in the RAR file.

The Walking Dead poster & the Crossbow Poster require University and the Prints of Terminus & Woodbury require Nightlife. Also included in this set is my black recolors of the Patchwork Desk (Teen Style Stuff) and the Hemnes 3 Drawer Dresser(Ikea Home Stuff). To achieve the look of a triple dresses, use the cheat codes (ctrl+shift+c) "boolprop snapobjectstogrid false" and "move_objects on".

There's also a Collection File & Icon included.

The table lamps in this file are from the Alexis Neo Classic Bedroom Set by Ea Sims - you can find it at the Sims Cave, here: http://simscave.mustbedestroyed.org/index.php?topic=6255.0, the wood blinds are from Caravan Sim's Louisiana Set, you can find it here: http://simscave.mustbedestroyed.org/index.php?topic=21210.0, the Windows & doors are by Phoenix Phaerie, you can find them here: http://modthesims.info/member.php?u=295417 (her Modern Georgian Set), the floor I made you can find it in my yahoo group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TheSims2FanaticsCommunity/files/Rougue/Walls%20and%20Floors/ (my mudd room floor), the rest of the items not listed are directly from TS2 and are included in the collection file.
