Hi all – thanks for stopping by!
Today I’ve got 6 new Ambitions expansion pack tattoos for your sims. Its an odd little set, but luckily, I’ve named them all so that you can pick and choose which files to keep easily. Each tattoo is a single color, but is recolorable. All previews are shown with a black color.
Warning: similar to patterns, the game often displays these at lower resolution than were created. :(
Download all 6 tattoos (.package format)






Enjoy!

Hi folks -
I’m still around… just busy and exhausted lately. However, I couldn’t resist the new Create-a-Pattern tool! If you haven’t tried it out yet, I definitely recommend it.
Anyway, I’ve got three new patterns for you and your sims today – so enjoy! (and hopefully it won’t be so long before I update again…) Each of the patterns below has several color channels, so you can change the color of the background and the decorative shapes however you like!

Download Happy Cupcakes pattern (sims3pack)

Download Hello Kitty pattern (sims3pack)

Download Monster Bubbles pattern (sims3pack)
Please consider leaving a comment if you like these! It really makes me happy. :)

Today I’d like to open up a simple, but hopefully exciting contest. I’d love to get know more of you, and I’d also love to see how you’re using my work in your game. The contest will be for the “best” screenshot of my work in your game. I’ll be the only judge, and there is no set criteria… your screenshot might be the cutest, or the most creative, or the one that took the most effort – we’ll just have to see! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have the greatest computer – that will not count against you. Please use only minimal photoshopping (ie. cropping, borders, a title…) Entries are due by March 28 at 11:59pm EST.
As stated in the title, the winner of the contest will receive $15 worth of items from the Sims 3 Store! If you are the lucky winner, you can fill up your Wishlist, and I will gift it to you.
Please submit entries as follows:

Your age and gender (again, if you’re comfortable):
How long you’ve been playing the sims games:

A link to your screenshot: (I suggest hosting on Photobucket or Flickr)
**Please also consider introducing yourself with the information above, even if you don’t want to submit a screenshot. I’ll kick this off with my own information…
Your name: Helaene
Your website: helaene.wordpress.com
Where you’re from: Boston, MA USA
Your age and gender: 25/F
How long you’ve been playing the sims games: since the Sims 1 came out! Fun fact – I’ve owned *every* single Sims game ever! ::cough:: addict! ::cough::
Your favorite part of the Sims 3: probably Collecting… I love having my sims collect gems and fish and insects…and I love using the ‘irreversible transmogrification’ action from the display cases once I’ve collected enough!
So there you have it folks – I can’t wait to meet you and see your screenshots!
Feel free to ‘save your place’ by adding your information now, and uploading your screenshot later.

‘ello loves!
today I’ve got a cute new ‘babydoll’ / swing top for girls. It blouses out nicely above the waist, and extends down lower than the average top, sitting nicely over everything from skirts to jeans to pajamas. It is categorized for all categories (everyday, formalwear, sleepwear, athletic and swimwear) as it is a pretty flexible style. There are three recolorable/pattern-able areas: the trim/straps, the chest, and the ‘skirt’. The styles you see below are the four I included in the file for you. My sim girls are all wearing these now – I hope you like them as much as I do!


Download either the .package or the .sims3pack file
Enjoy! As always, please leave a comment if you like them…

Today I’m uploading some layered tshirts for your sim children (both boys and girls).
I’ve included 6 overlay designs, as well as a ‘plain’ tee without a graphic. The stencils are from some of my favorite cartoons, including: Gir (from Invader Zim), Dexter (from Dexter’s Laboratory), Stewie (from Family Guy), Bart Simpson (from the Simpsons), the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Grim and Mandy (from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy).
The tshirt and the long sleeved tshirt underneath can use two different color/pattern palettes.
EDIT: 3/6/2010 8:30pm ET – The original upload was categorized as Everyday and Formalwear. Please re-download to get the new version, which is categorized as Everyday, Athletic, and Sleepwear. Sorry for the mixup!





Download either the .package file or the .sims3pack file
Please leave a comment if you enjoy these! It helps motivate me to make more and more items. :)

Hi all -
Two new sets of eyebrows today: one for the men (Epsilon) and one for the ladies (Zeta). They are each available for teens, adults and elders. Epsilon is nice and masculine, but not sharp. Zeta is thin and defined, but not quite so curvaceous as my Gamma brows.

Download Epsilon brows for men (.package file)

Download Zeta brows for women (.package file)
I hope you enjoy these – please let me know if you do! Comments really make my day. :)
