Joinable statues
Over the years I have done a bit of dabbling into the object creating realm. Those items have been solely for my own game since they tend to use bases which cannot be distributed. I have now decided to finally publish some objects.Looking at other forums, there seems to be a want/need for fake Sims. My first object submissions here at TSR will be statues which can be used for store mannequins, art gallery statues, or even fake Sims. I am using the joinable bases from Lost Sims for these statues. They are compatible with just the base game, The Sims, so everyone can use them.
The first two statues are winter themed. I have used the SSX skins from Maxis (available at the official site or with Complete Collection). I plan to make various themed sets of these statues -- formal wear, swim wear, high fashion, maybe more winter wear, children, themed (Egyptian, Roman, Greek, pirate, Native American, etc), celebrities, and also a set using the Magic Town NPCs from Makin Magic for those who want to create a haunted house type of lot.
I will be creating a poll here on my mini-site so I can gauge what you the downloading public would like to have made as far as these statues/fake Sims are concerned. You are also free to comment here in my blog or PM me if you have a special statue/fake Sim request.
Requests and other matters
This week I am finishing work on some requests for some very patient people(and I thank you folks for your patience) that have been made through both the PM system here and the Skinning forum. Previews will be posted soon.As for the "other matters"...Since us Sims1 artists now share the automated submissions system with the Sims2 artists, I will be updating more frequently. I am shooting for once a week, with publish day most likely on either Friday or Saturday.

Winter/Holiday Vacation lots
Happy Holidays!!I have just submitted a pair of snowy Vacation lots. Lot 40 is Winter Wonderland, a place where your Sims can enjoy a variety of winter activities. Lot 41 is Santa's Village. This will require the Santa's Lap download from the free section at SimSlice: http://www.simslice.com/freebies/samples-pg1.htm
It also requires the Unnamed Gravel floor tile from the Double Deluxe bonus sets at the official site.

Bratz skins
Next up is a set of skins based on the Bratz fashion dolls. I am looking at about 10-12 skins in all. Because I want these to be published at once instead of a couple smaller groups, it will take a couple of weeks to complete this set. Previews will be posted.Valentina

This week I'm working on some Downtown lots. On the To Do list are a park, plaza, and something on one of the beachy lots. Previews will be posted as I complete each lot.Lot 30 -- Central Park
Ok...so it's not really central. But it is a park.

Want to go to the beach, but can't afford a trip to Vacation Island. Then come Downtown and visit us at The Pier.

Like going to the mall, but hate the stuffy atmosphere?! Just go for a stroll through The Plaza. Plenty of shopping, eating, and activities to keep everyone happy.
