What A Lie!

Don't look at me! 

I'm horrible. 

I did not notice this rather sizely error.

You can thank BOB, however. 

BOB noticed that sims can walk through the door screen.

It apparently is a magic screen.

It should not be however.

Doug Henning had nothing to do with its creation.

A tiny oversight in the coding.

Should be corrected . . . now.

You can download the corrected screen 

here

but only the package file will overwrite the original.

If you use Sim3Pack you'll need to uninstall and reinstall.

My apologies folks.

I sent this set out for testing by numerous people

and no one caught this rather large oversight. 

Naughty testers. Spankings will be emailed . . . now.

EDIT:

Well, it seems some do not exactly dislike and further

actually prefer the screen with the 'mistake' as it acts like a curtain.

Please feel free to leave some comments.

I may need to post a second version of the door screen that sims CAN walk through

for those who prefer it.

Green Room

Nothing is more green than recycling. 

For those of us who collect antiques 

and shop for gently used wares,

we live the green life. 

Sometimes ordinary things can take on a new purpose.

We've all had a time when we used something 

for a purpose outside it's calling  . . .

A coffee cup pencil holder,

a jar holding buttons . . . 

What about bigger things?

Today I bring to you a set of things that

are not only being reused,

but in some cases rethought.

Including a few items from my own home.

But first, a history lesson.

In the 30s this building was an office space.

By the 50s, a small fashion studio

An now you call it home.

You have purchased this building, busted out some walls,

and renovated it. 

You sifted through the remains,

pulled from it some good pieces, and build some new dreams.

The local salvage yard and consignment shop

had a number of things you could put to good use, too.

Modern green living - the old fashioned way.

Doors turned room divider,

a trolley cart coffee table,

 windows frames as decor or a new mirror,
an antique dress form just like the one in my dining room,

a door as a table.

Also included:

4 pendant lights
a bottle, a jar and two styles of edison bulbs

Nesting bowls just like my own (2nd style is CAS-table)

A metal sign that used to hang at a store I worked at in South Station, Boston
(2 styles, worn and worn out)

a 'scissor' lamp with glass bulb,

and an accordion table I finally had to break down and buy I loved it so much.

Well there you have it. 

14 items.

This set is so big I am having to break it up by format.

** door screen footprint problem has been corrected for these downloads**

I hope you enjoy this set as much as I have creating it.

Perhaps it will inspire you to see thing a new way.

People that need to be thanked for their invaluable help:

Raven Shadow @ MTS <------- my hero

OrangeMittens @ MTS/Indigo

HugeLunatic @ MTS

HystericalParoxysm @MTS

Murano @ TSR

Helping to fix the problems with the 

dining table and trolley cart coffee table

as well as TSRW in general.

I also want to thank all the people who have helped me to test this set,

and, of course, Heidi @ Exotic Elements for inspiring the set with her unreleased finial! Release it! hehe

bedroom design - Patio Doors open all the way

Watching the sunset has a whole new meaning when you can do so in the comfort of your own bed. This bedroom design boasts large double patio doors to allow the outside in. The calm green walls and the understated interior help to rejuvenate the spirit while acknowledging the view as the focal point. This effect is achieved through the simplicity of the bedding and window treatments, while the darker patio wood and railing draw the eye outward. Recess lighting provides the perfect amount of soft glow, allowing the outdoors to dictate the level of illumination for the room. However, the patio doors can be shut and the blinds drawn to provide the necessary privacy that is often required in a bedroom. If bedroom décor is meant to reflect the occupant’s definition of comfort, this one says serenity.
