Wowee!!
It's been such a long time since I updated this blog!!
Well I can upload again! I'm so glad! You'll slowly start to see more from me on here again, but I'm still very busy!!
I pretty much live on the A to B Creations Forum now! I still visit TSR most days, and still upload here, but you should check out the Forum! - I'm a Top Creator over there and it's the only place you'll see exclusive sims and other custom content from me and some of the most talented creators in the Simming community!!
Aaanyways, my latest simmie uploaded here is definitely one of my favourites, Elodie is such a sweetie pie!
Devil Sim!
New sim 'Elle Diablo' available for download here
(for more screenshots, follow the download link)
Back On Track!
Wow. That was painful! But I'm back in business after my game crash!
I've still been uploading of course haha! No crash was ever going to stop me. But now I've managed to work the glitches out of my game that appeared after the 'incident', it's all good.
So, now I'm working on Version 2 of one of my early sims. Trixie was supposed to be a fairy... She ended up looking more like a smurf, and I wasn't completely happy with her. She's being edited right now, and should be done within the week :D I'll be releasing V2 as a separate download though, and she's staying the same colour! I think she likes being blue, so we'll keep her that way!
I've got a couple of celebrity requests on the go too, but those are just personal requests from friends, and are pretty low on my priority list. We'll see how they turn out when I get the chance to finish them off! I'm a total perfectionist though, and I won't stop until I get them exactly right! This could take a while...
I've also started helping out on Yahoo Answers - there are so many trolls on that site it's unbelievable, but I had a look just to see what all the fuss was about and there were so many sims questions! I think I've found my calling haha! :D I love helping people, I might even turn my other blog (http://scribblingsbyme.blogspot.com/) into a more tutorial based... thing. I've got my package file installation guide up there, but I have tons more I could do!
TSR is always going to be my highest priority though!

Game crash!
Unfortunately while installing Generations my game crashed completely! I've lost all my families, and all the sims I hadn't yet exported to upload on here! (there were A LOT of sims!)
It doesn't matter too much, I managed to get the game fixed and running, and I can re-build all of my lots and sims.
The only thing I'm really disappointed about is now I'm not going to be able to continue Bridgeport or Bust! I exported Courtney, Scarlett and Ben so I could probably start it again, but it's going to completely ruin the story I had planned!
I think I'm just going to say goodbye to that for now. I was really enjoying making it, and maybe I'll continue it later, but for now I'm going to concentrate on my sims.
Who knows, maybe I'll start a completely new story! But like I said, I'll be concentrating on my sims from now on, and I've got my blog to keep me amused too! http://scribblingsbyme.blogspot.com/
I'm just glad I managed to get my game running again!!

I'm Back!
My exams are finally over! Now I can get back to simming!
I'll be uploading another sim and a house I've been working on for a while very shortly.
The next chapter of Bridgeport or Bust will also be up soon! I have another couple of chapters written, but after those are up I might start pulling the story together and bring it to an end so I can concentrate on sim requests! :)

Back soon!
Just to let everyone know I'll be taking a short break from uploading for most of the rest of the month :(
Trust me, I'd much rather be on here, but I've got important university exams coming up that don't end until the 23rd, and I have to pass, so I'm concentrating on those for a while!!
I may still find time to upload, I'm not sure, but it definitely won't be on a regular basis until these exams are over!
I'll still be writing the next chapters of my story, Bridgeport or Bust, (you can read the first chapter here, and the second here) so when I'm done stressing I can relax and enjoy taking all the screenshots!
Wish me luck!

Busy Busy Busy!
I'm focusing mostly on my story 'Bridgeport or Bust' at the minute, but I've got a few other little projects on the go!
I'm about half way through a pose set, and I've started making a couple of eyeliners... which are failing. I really don't think my talent lies in creating make up! Even though it's really easy to do, my USB mouse for my laptop broke! So I'm attempting to do it just using the mousepad! It's a nightmare. I'll still upload them when they're done though :P
As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to upload Scarlett, one of the main characters from my story :)
I found some old dresses I was working on a while ago in a random file, so when I'm done with everything else I might re-do those too!
Oh AND I've got exams in a week :( not fun!

Story Preview!
Just a quick update!
Check out my new Sims 3 blog for a little sneak preview of my new story - 'Bridgeport or Bust'
http://scribblingsbyme.blogspot.com/
I'll be publishing the first chapter very soon!

New Story!
Even though I'm currently working on a pose set, I've had lots of story ideas for a looong time now, and have finally decided which one I want to start first!
I wanted to start something that was very open-ended, so i can just play it through and see what happens! I have no idea how the story will eventually end but I already have 3 chapters written, so I'll get those finished and we'll see where the story goes!
I have plenty of ideas so it looks as though it could be a very long-running story! Of course, I will always welcome and very much appreciate feedback/suggestions!
I'm thinking I might stop uploading sims for a while, I have lots of them left to put up, but I'd like to concentrate on my story for a while :) Although while I'm writing I might upload one or two of the characters, since one of the main characters (Courtney) is already published!!
Short and sweet again!!

Short and sweet, haha!
