New Sim: Sevinne Arosia

• Clothing: Milano (TSR)
• Hair: Helga Sims
• Eyeliner: Sera Sims
• Blush: Glamlight by La Exotique (MTS2)
• Eyeshadow: Eyelights by Bruno (MTS2)
• Skintone: JustSims2

Sevinne has additional make-up including nose freckles, "eyebags", a mask for more realistic looking eyes, custom eyebrows, and additional blush for "pores."

Sevinne is Irish/Brazilian. Or she's suppose to be anyway. Look for more screenshots of Sevinne soon!

BTW: Her name I believe is French, after my yoga instructor. Although my yoga instructor looks nothing like this Sim, I really love her name (pronounced Se-veene)

Three Wishes

I was very excited to have found a Genie Lamp in front of my doorstep! I have never seen a Genie in the game before and not exactly sure how this little act was triggered. I do know a gypsy woman came by and shook this big black bag and out popped the genie lamp.

I have THREE wishes. My first wish: "Give me a long life" I think it added 3 days to my life expectancy. YAY!

Bedroom 3 by Sims in Paris

Sims in Paris is a fantastic site for realistic interior designs with a very antique French flair (hence the name). It's a new favorite site of mine.

Sim: Self Sim

This Sim is modeled after me, it's a very close representation, my daughter thinks sometimes looking at the Sim is like looking at a cartoon of me, so I am guessing I did a good job.

My Sims stopped working for awhile. I had tried to install Bon Voyage and it was very glitchy on the comp, so I uninstalled and then everything kind of was OK. Then I got Free Time and that got glitchy as well (it was because of my computer, not the game itself).

A couple of weeks ago I got a new computer and my Sims 2 has been running perfectly fine. The only thing is I no longer have all the custom content, so I am slowly but surely building up my huge library of CC again and this time organizing them in subcategories as I go along.

Anyhow, I will be updating weekly from now on, so be sure to visit again.

Derelict House Project

Meet Celine Dubois. She's normally not this depressed. Infact, she was quite happy just a few weeks ago having recently graduated from University and purchasing her very first home.

When she heard it was a fixer upper (and quite a bargain being below 20,000), Celine jumped on the "Renovation Wagon" having been inspired by decorating shows on TV and so excited to start "nesting."

A few weeks into her renovation project, Celine gets more and more agitated and depressed. The funds in her bank account are very rapidly disappearing, her new job as a Lab Assistant doesn't pay nearly enough to cover her school loans and new home expenses, and not to mention she hasn't had a lick of an exciting social life she thought would magically happen as soon as she walked out the doors of University, diploma in hand.

No such luck yet...


Gross. This kitchen is a disgusting mess! Celine gets right to work and starts washing dishes, polishing appliances, and sweeping the floor.

Exhausted, Celine takes a short break to enjoy a salad. Not a very fulfilling salad though... But she's found a tiny bit of comfort that the kitchen is somewhat clean. The floors are grotty and old and no matter how hard she's scrubbed, she cannot get the gunk out between the tiles. She knows eventually new tiles will have to be put in... but her bank account holds a pitiful $1200 simoleons and she has much more important things to do...


Outside, the yard is overgrown with weeds, the grass is spotty, half the plants are dead, and those that are alive are very scary looking. Celine can't help shrieking in frustration as she realizes she is just going to have to foot the bill for a gardener to help her improve the gardens.

Well, well... looks like a bit of luck for Celine. The gardener is quite cute... she wonders if she should strike up a conversation. She doesn't of course, Celine has always been painfully shy when it came to men, well people in general.

After a few more days of work, the gardener has clearly improved the lot. The grass looks a bit greener, new flowers are blossoming, and the shrubs look trim and tidy. The whole job cost Celine a pretty penny and now she will have to wait for a promotion to be able to purchase new appliances for the kitchen. In the back of her mind she wonders what the gardener's name is...

Meet The Brandons

I love the Confessions of a Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, so it was about time I made Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) along with Luke and Minnie. I am in the process of making Suze & Tarquin and would like to make Jese & Tom. Might possibly make Danny and Venetia. We'll see.

But for now, meet the Brandons!


I have always imagined Becky to have brown hair and brown eyes. Mostly because I think the name Rebecca suites brunettes and brown eyed girls.


Originally I created Luke with light brown hair and blue/green eyes since I always imagined him to look that way, but after rereading "Confessions of a Shopaholic" he is described as being handsome with dark hair and dark eyes.


This picture is so cute. Minnie Brandon is Luke & Becky's daughter (in 5th book). I didn't want to make an infant, so I made a toddler version of Minnie. She has light brown hair and hazel eyes.


Becky & Minnie in her nursery (with designer rug, crib, and baby blankets of course)


The Brandons outside their home. I'm not totally in love with their house, so I will probably redo a lot of it, not even done with this first version. But here they are!
