Sims 3 Recolors

Well, here are some odds and ends -- left-overs from my July color pallet on the far right there...  That's the t-shirt from the free set they just released, base game jeans, shoes and animal ears from the store.

The other three sims are dressed in colors I've chosen for my August color pallet.  I'm pretty fond of those shades of green and that golden-orange...

I'm thinking maybe I should try installing the Into the Future pack again and try out those display pedestals again.  my first attempts at making a dress shop were pretty frustrating to say the least.

Here's my studio if you want to download them.

Sims, Sims, Sims...

There's a new free set over in the Sims 3 Store called Fashionable Fitness Set that has 11 items in it.  There are two new hairstyles for adult female sims in it, and that's all I really play with anyway.  So I installed that into my game and looked at it yesterday but then ended up not really doing anything but puttering around in CAS while I listened to my latest audio book again.  

That actually is what I like best about Sims 3 anyway... I can just mess around building lots or recoloring clothing for hours.  I do actually play too; but I'd say 50% of the time I just recolor or build.

Here's a pic of my latest recolors in my July color pallet, the sim in the middle has one of the hairstyles from the Fashionable Fitness Set.  I like it, I think it's pretty cute.

As always the recolors are here if you want them.

Oh, and if you somehow missed it SimsVIP had an article up about the Sims 2 Complete Collection being offered free for something like a week to anyone who wants it.  Here's a link to that post that had all the details in it.

Sims 3 Lazy Evening

I was having a lazy day today with my audiobook and Sims 3 game.  I made a few more recolors that match that batch I did a few days ago...  I also worked on a remodel of one of the starter homes, but I'm slow at that kind of thing so it will take me a few sit ins to finish it.  Here's a pic of the clothing recolors and the house I'm working on:

 

If you want these recolors of course you can download them here from my studio.

Yeah, that starter home needs a lot of work... I'm not sure after looking at this that I'm feeling the bushes too much.  Yeah, again it needs a lot of work...

Random Recolors for Sims 3

Although it's been awhile some of you might remember that I like to use the random button in create a sim to select things to recolor when I'm bored.  Here are some outfits I did this morning using the same color pallet.  There is a headband, 2 pairs of shoes, 3 pants, and 3 tops.  All of them should mix and match pretty well.  If you like them you can get them out of my studio on the Sims 3 Exchange:

Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty

Messing around with Sims 3 today.  I found that there's a new featured look in the Sims 3 Store called the Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty.  The only new thing is the lot that comes with the set but I got it for free because I already had all of the items in the set.  It's a house with enough beds to sleep eight sims.  I really quite liked it and it's perfect for the way I've been playing at the moment.  Here are some pics of my sim Finn checking it out:

Sims 3 Island Paradise

Ok!  Previously I was unable to play the Island Paradise expansion on my pc with all the other expansion packs installed with it.  So I've decided to try just playing with this one expansion pack installed and adding store sets as I want to play with them.  I did go ahead and installed all the swimwear and tiki sets from the store.  So far so good.  Cross your fingers for me I really want to be able to play with my sims again. ;-)

Sims 3 Collection Files and a General Update

I've got some bad news for those of you who used to come here for collection files for Sims 3 Store Sets...  I've had a lot of problems with my game and I won't bore you with a long post about it but in the end; it seems that I have completely lost all of the files I made.

So, I'm very sorry to anyone who comes here looking for the files but I just don't have them anymore.  I don't even have the game installed on my pc at the moment because of all the trouble I've been having.  It looks like my pc just can't run the game with all of the expansions and store sets installed at the same time so I've kind of lost interest in playing at the moment.

I know that I will go back to playing the game when I'm able to get a new computer but I kind of feel like that's unlikely until Christmas or early next year.  I still haven't been able to really play the last two expansions because of my pc issues.

Anyway, if anyone has the files that had downloaded them before, please feel free to redistribute them as you like.  I made them for the community to enjoy and I don't care if you repost them  elsewhere.

Hoping to make time to blog more often in the future.  I have a lot of fun interests I like to talk about. ;-)
