Medieval / Tudor themes ready for download. Now! Check out my Profile page :D
Hi All,
Finally up for grabs now on my profile, is as promised in my earlier blogs - Twilight Castle. This is a very large lot. The castle has ample bedrooms, a great hall, kitchen, Library, cellar, dungeons, gardens and it's own church with a secret passage. It is full with loads of new patterns that I have created for this theme. The patterns will be available, to download seperately in a few days :D
I also have my new Sims ready for download today too. Lady Jane grey.
Stayed tuned for more medieval / Tudor themes to come.
I am currently building 2 more smaller Castles for people who would prefer a smaller lot. These will not feature FA items, so they will be available to everyone.
In the pipeline, I also have Roman themes. I have just finished building a Collosseum. I have called it Collosimium. Lol! I have a Roman park on the go too.
Soon I will also be releasing my Splash mania - waterpark. Plus plenty more patterns too.
Busy, busy, busy as always!

My new lot dedicated to Cyclonesue, released for download today!
Hi all,
My new lot "Trash Can Park" is availlable for download now! Don't keep your messy Sim's waiting! Download it now :D
New lots dedicated to Cyclonesue and Shakeshaft :)
Hi all,
I have just took a few days break from my "patterns frenzy" to create two lots.
My first lot is called "Trash Can Park". This is dedicated to Cyclonesue. It is a very dirty park with a barbecue area. It has no facilities for washing your hands or the dishes. No useable bins, so your Sims will have to chuck any rubbish on the floor. I wonder if any bugs and stuff will appear, when stuff starts to go off? Should be fun to see. Cyclonesue has very kindly suggested, that I use her new toilet that she has just created. This lot, will be released once I adjust the sims3pack to include the new object.
My second lot is called "Riverside blues holiday home". This is dedicated to Shakeshaft and includes her new "Richmond" set. It is a lovely set which makes me think of holidays by the sea. This lot is modern, bright and overlooks the river. This has just been released today, so you can go ahead and download it now :)
On to other news..........
I will continue with my "Pattern frenzy theme" for the rest of April, as I still have many patterns to upload. I created most of these last year, so I really want to get them all on here. It's such a waste otherwise. 1 or 2 may be just what your Sims are looking for :)
I will also be uploading all of my previously submitted lots that have subscriber items in. I will take out the subscriber items and replace them with standard game items. That way no one will miss out :)
Finally...... Twilight Castle has now been adjusted, so it is not such a huge file. It has now finally uploaded to TSR and is currently sitting in my uploads section. So that will be released soon, along with my medieval Sim "Lady Jane Grey".
Anyway, that's all for me, for now. Don't forget to bookmark me and check back often.
Bye for now. Simonetta.x
Pattern frenzy, for the month of March!
Hi all,
Since the very first release of the TSR workshop, I have acquired a taste for creating patterns. I have quite a number that have built up now. Many of these, I originally created in November 2009, when I was reccuperating after a operation I had at the time. You may have seen some of them, as I have used them in Lots and Sims that I have submitted to TSR. So, I have decided, before I turn my full attention to meshes and objects. I should really upload everything, I have previously created.
So for the rest of this month, I will be going through all my creations and submitting them all to TSR. Yay! for you!
There will be a mixture of themes/designs, from Halloween, Christmas, Easter, kids, floral etc.
All of these are TSRAA. So please feel free to upload any of them with your own lots, screenshots or stories. Any of my work can only be used on TSR, so please keep that in mind and respect my wishes.
Expect 2 to 4 to be added on a daily basis.
Enjoy! Simonetta.xx
Creations update for Twilight Castle and my offers for Easter.
Hi all,
I have 2 new items up for grabs today.
My new lot, availlable for download is called "Modern Heights". This is a large house which looks like an apartment block. It over looks the Town hall, plus other prominent features in the town. This is definately real estate, your Sims wants to be living in. Panoramic views from every angle, at all levels, in every room. Stunning views of the sea, are to be had, from the open top roof deck area too.
My download for Easter is "Cathy Chick". Immature and silly, but lots of fun. Her favourite nibble are eggs of course! Bright and sunny Easter patterns that I have created, have been included too.
My other creation for Easter is called "Easter Cottage Farm". This is pending in submissions and should be released sometime this weekend. This was a large lot which I decorated with lots of great stuff. Unfortuately, the file was so big, I could not get it to upload to the site. I had to cut it down so much, that it has finally been uploaded with only 1 room furnished. I am so sorry about that, as I would have like to have submitted it fully furnished. It is fully decorated though, with quite a lot of custom patterns that I have created. It also has a garden with plants that are nearly all ready for harvest. I have already picked a lettuce, onion and tomatoe to start you off. You will find them on a counter in the Kitchen near the cooker. So remember to send your Sim to go and collect them, so they don't spoil :)
Before I go, just a little update on "Twilight Castle". I mentioned this in my blog about a month ago. It has really took a long time to complete as I wanted it to look just right. I must say, I am so proud of the results. It looks fantastic, but I have a problem :( Like the previous lot I mentioned, I cannot get it to upload to TSR. I am thinking that the size of the file is the problem again :(
I really do not want to cut it down, so if anyone can advise me on this, I would be very grateful. Does anyone know if their is a size limit with Sims3packs being uploaded to the site? I think my file is 32mb. The usual size for my lots are 5 to 12 mbs. So this is quite huge really.
Bye for now

Forget the Flintstones, here come the Neanderthals! My new creations :)
Hi, All,
Up for release tommorow is my new Sim family, the Neanderthals. I love all kinds of History, so I thought it would be fun to do a Cave man type family. I have tried to make them as realistic as I could, based on how Neanderthals would have looked.
I think they have turned out quite well. You can check them out by looking at my profile at the "Upcoming" section of my page. I have nearly finished the lot that I have created for them too, so expect to see that in a few days. So remember to check back or book mark me.
The Neanderthal lot is below ground level, made to look like a underground cave. Unfortunately, I have had to add some things that they wouldn't have had at that time. Things like a refrigerator, sink, shower etc. It would have been pretty hard to play the lot otherwise. All the items have been camouflaged in a stone type effect, so hopefully it shouldn't be too obvious.
I hope you all like it, here is a sneaky peep :) If you look carefully, you can see the underground entrance.
New creations! - Vicky Valentine and a sneeky peep at my new flying saucer Space station :)
Hi all,
I have been busy busy busy creating more stuff for you all to enjoy. I absolutely love themes, so I couldn't resist making something for valentines.
My new Sim is called Vicky Valentine. She comes complete with new patterns I have created for the same theme, so lots of love hearts included in all her clothes.
I will also be releasing my new lot. As promised it's a space lot to go with the two Alien Sims I have recently created. It's called Aquarius Space Station and is modelled as a flying saucer. Created with just basic stuff in the game, no wall cheats etc. I think it turned out quite well, what do you think? Check a sneeky peep at the photo below.
Lots more in the pipeline, so remember to book mark me and check back often.
For those who are interested, I am also on Facebook and the exchange. Feel free to add me, I love to chat :)

Woooh, I have created my first object in TSR workshop for The Sims 3, thanks to Vanillasim (Robin)
Hi all,
I needed a little breather from my current projects, so I decided to follow a tutorial on TSR. I chose the paintings tutorial by Vanillasim. Much to my surprise it worked! Nothing intended towards Robin's tutorial skills :) It's just me, I just can't seem to get my head around certain tutorials. My brain starts to ache and I give up, well only until my brain recovers...ha ha.
I have been repeating the process all day until I knew how to do it without looking at the tutorial. I have now produced 2 paintings for my new space lot, these will be released in a few days.
So expect lots of painting to be coming your way soon, now I know how to create them.
I am just putting the finishing touches on the Space station, so that will be uploaded by next week.
I have projects in line for Valentines and Easter, so expect plenty more creations from me!
Bye for now........... Sim. xxxx
More creations! Aliens and Spys!
Hi all,
I have a new lot up for grabs at the moment, "Redwood hide away lodge". It is a lovely 2 storey log cabin complete with 2 large rock pools, barbeque area and decking. This is ready for downlaod on the site now, so check out my page.
I also have a new Sim called "Millie Holiday". She loves sports and going on Holiday. This is also availlable for download too.
Pending in submissions at the moment I have another Sim. It's name is "Segreta Agent". She is a International super spy and is pretty hot, as are all Bond type girls! Check back in a few days to download it.
Also in storage in submissions are my 2 Alien Sims that I have created. They are across between the green woman from the original Star Trek series mixed with a bit of Harry Potter's Voldemort. Well that is what inspired me as I was creating them. I am sure they will be availlable to download in a few days too :)
I am also in the process of near completeing a Space lot for the Aliens to live in, plus a large Castle lot inspired by Twilight.
So plenty more to come! Watch this space.....

New lot - Palm tree holiday resort :)
Hi all,
I released a new lot the other day called "Palm tree holiday resort". I cannot believe the response I have had from downloaders. 254 downloads in less than 24 hours of it being on the site. I am so pleased! It is in my opinion the most realistic lot I have built yet. I certainly am getting much more familiar with Sim 3 now.
I haven't forgot about Sims 2 either. I have stacks of Sims 2 creations ready to upload to TSR. Wallpapers and floors will be availlable to download soon too.
If you are on facebook, add me. I am Simonetta Avossa Carvell. I am SimonettaC on the official exchange so add me on there too. If you like to chat drop me a line, I always love to chat :)
Bye for now
