WIP: SMCC Field  
So much going on in the world of Ste-Margo! In addition to my newborn collection files (I am a fan!), I got distracted with some more of Criquette's hood deco. Here is an athletic field, technically owned by Ste-Margo Community College but essentially shared by the whole town.

A Less Mountainous Ste-Margo!  
After some more struggling with SimCity 4 and HoodReplacer, I have managed to defeat the mountains and recreate (more or less) my previous topography!

Another lot for Twikkii-Tikki Island, a (for the moment) unnamed diner/general store right on the main drag next to the Poolside Motel.

WIP: Twikkii-Tikki Putt-Putt  
For my newly renamed/HoodReplaced vacation hood, Twikkii-Tikki Island!

If you caught my livestream, you'll know I took a peek at Fennia Sims's Ainos Minigolf Corner (downloaded thanks to [livejournal.com profile] selenaq13's recommendation); and while it was super cute, I do love to make things over...

So many unfinished projects! :P

Livesimmed: New Vacation Hood Mini-Tour  


Here's my first livestream attempt for those who missed it! The background music got a little loud (and was sort of echoing for some reason :/ ), so hopefully that'll be better for the official tour. But it's just a little overview of the new vacation hood I started building last night, based on the Block Island terrain by patul at MTS. (And I just realized it isn't attached to Ste-Margo! D:  D:  D:  I need to find out how to export a decorated terrain so I don't have to do start over again!) 

Official Ste-Margo tour will be Saturday, June 16 at 12PM EDT/4PM GMT, at http://www.livestream.com/mswn, splitting the difference between two poll options, which I hope works out.

Thanks so much to those who dropped by! It was a little awkward—but fun—and I hope I get to see even more of you next time!

WIP: Poolside Motel Continued  
A little bit of progress poolside. I generally have very little patience for landscaping, but I think this looks all right. Asylum round coming up next for Ste-M, once again split into multiple parts because I took about, oh, 500 pictures.... I was actually most of the way through a Snowe-Morceau round when my double-townie glitch happened, but I was also just having one of those "bleh" periods with that family. You know how it goes; just one of those things. I was on the verge of doing something crazy, like letting Thierry father some babies with his sister-in-law, and lord knows the last thing we need is more Thierry babies! Luckily, I remembered I had the asylum to play with, and there's plenty enough crazy for me there! (And, SPOILER ALERT: there also will be babies...!)

WIP: Poolside Motel  
Round 6 of Ste-Margo is still in progress, but while my game was out of commission, I kept wanting to work on a vacation hood. I've hardly ever sent my sims on vacation, but I kind of want to now. The only trouble is I'm so picky about lots that it'll take forever before I feel that a hood is "ready" to be visited.... Maybe I can be satisfied with doing one hotel and making over a community lot or two? Chalk the stupidness of the un-madeover lots up as "local color"? 

Anyway, check out this little beachy motel I'm working on! I found a few building tips here. Know of any other strange quirks to be aware of or things to account for when building hotels? Or if anyone has any recommendations for good BV lot makeovers, I'd love to hear them!

Fooling Around: New tights for Charterzard's Apostasy Sweater Dress  
Last fall, [livejournal.com profile] charterzard posted this really great version of a sweater dress by [livejournal.com profile] needlecream; but I didn't love the ripped tights and wasn't thinking I'd use it much because of that. After having fun working on the pj set the other day, though, I thought I'd play around with these a little. The tights' texture is just grabbed from one of the sleeves with a little Photoshop noise on top, so they look (ever so slightly) space-dyed. What do you think? Would anyone be interested if I made a set for upload? Anyone have any favorite clothing recoloring tips to share?

[Ha: Looks like [livejournal.com profile] needlecream was just thinking about this dress again, too!]

WIP: Daycare Remodel  
[livejournal.com profile] selenaq13 shared her cutie cute L'il Critters Daycare before the holidays, and I couldn't resist downloading it... and then more or less gutting it and starting over, as I'm wont to do. What can I say? I like to decorate.
