We'll be building our own shells and then renovating them into new buildings! Concept Land is at a premium in the city and many older buildings are being removed for newer ones, but many older ones have history that is worth protecting. Every two... 2016-09-12T19:33:56Z 2016-09-12T19:33:56Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=7440 I had a good run being part of MTS Staff, but it's time for me to retire. I've gotten very busy with starting my own business, and I just can't give the time MTS deserves of its staff right now. I do not plan on retiring from Sims or creating, so don't worry about that! I hope to run into you all... 2014-12-01T06:55:33Z 2014-12-01T06:55:33Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=7116 Sometimes I guess it really does pay to be patient. :) I've been staff here at MTS for a little over 4 years and today I got promoted. I even skipped a level. I'm super excited to be purple, and a Super Mod now. This means I now have privs in all areas of the site, not just Bodyshop and Downloads.... 2012-09-15T19:04:38Z 2012-09-15T19:04:38Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=6342 I graduated college in June! Since then I moved sorta back in with my parents and I've been preparing for the next scary part of my life - finding a real job! Today I've flown off to Boston to stay with my cousin for a week while I attend the IDSA Conference here; I plan on smoozing with enough... 2012-08-15T06:36:19Z 2012-08-15T06:36:19Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=6294 http://s3.amazonaws.com/crowdspark-staging/files/533/large/LittlePrintedHandout.jpg?1339795053 As part of my senior capstone project at school, I'm designing a baby stroller that works well on public transit. I've entered it in a design competition here. Please vote for me! You can vote once a... 2012-04-29T16:19:02Z 2012-04-29T16:19:02Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=6092 OMG, have I got some good news! They finally announced it! I am a finalist in the SCA Design Challenge Lego Packaging contest. In December I entered a Lego Packaging contest and my design was chosen as one of the top five! They are bringing all the Lego finalists to Denmark for a workshop on Feb 22... 2012-01-19T16:46:37Z 2012-01-19T16:46:37Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=5897 Spring quarter just ended for my college and I'm off for the summer for now. I'm supposed to be started a new co-op job assignment on Monday, but with the economy the way it is, and the fact that it's summer quarter and that's when every other school ever has let loose their students to find... 2011-06-11T06:22:56Z 2011-06-11T06:22:56Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=5535 Today is my bday! Yay! I am now 24. It's getting to that age where its hard to tell people I play the sims, but I'm not gonna stop. Earlier this week I went home and had a small family party with just my dad (sibs and mom were out of town). I got to pick my favorite cake, one of those frozen... 2011-03-27T17:00:34Z 2011-03-27T17:00:34Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=5408 So, yeah, my uploads have this downward trend line, my first year I had 100 uploads, second year had 18, third year had 9, and I've only gotten 1 up the past six months since. What happened?!? Well, a couple things. The first year I was here I was only part time at college, I had WAY more freetime... 2011-01-30T22:55:40Z 2011-01-30T22:55:40Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=5316 So my third creator anniversary is coming up this monday, the 19th. As is my usual style, I'm making a celebration upload for it. It's been on my to-do list forever to make more swings. Somehow that ended up into a full blown playground set. And yet, no additional swings.... Playground... 2010-07-16T03:34:42Z 2010-07-16T03:34:42Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=4989 Ok, so its been almost a year since my last journal entry, that's probably too long. In my defense I haven't been able to do much with Sims for a while. I've been busy with school and co-op (internship). I've just started another quarter at school. I've got a very light credit load this quarter so... 2010-04-17T19:12:03Z 2010-04-17T19:12:03Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=4773 School is out and I'm cleaning out my closet, er, laptop. I'm finding all these great half finished projects in addition to my current half finished projects. I figured I'd post a picture of the progress on them and let you decide which ones I try darn hard to actually finish.... 2009-06-28T06:09:21Z 2009-06-28T06:09:21Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3999 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Phaenoh/Sims/BirthdayBanner.jpg?t=1238299207 Today is my birthday! Thank you to everyone who has already wished me a happy birthday, and thank you CarmeeKitty, Leesester, QBuilderz, DJ_Music, and Deluxe Designs for the nice cards and presents. Send me a... 2009-03-27T04:10:23Z 2009-03-27T04:10:23Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3685 It's probably time for me to stick a new journal entry up here, since the last one is from almost 4 months ago... I've been busy with school work. I'm in school for product design and we've been doing a lot with Alias. Its a really powerful 3D modeling program and I've just learned how to... 2009-02-27T17:45:16Z 2009-02-27T17:45:16Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3557 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Phaenoh/Sims/MedievalFantasyBanner.jpg Update: It's been a while but I've done some more work in my Medieval Hood. I've added Nightlife to my game setup so I could use Hexameter's awesome vehicles. I also included Apartment Life because a)witches are SO... 2008-11-12T00:29:44Z 2008-11-12T00:29:44Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3120 Got a request? Wanna drop me a line? Leave me a note! Thanks for stopping by! -Phae MTS Yearbook * 2013 * 2012 * 2011 * 2010 * 2009 * 2008-11-12T00:12:41Z 2008-11-12T00:12:41Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=3119 Anybody wondering where I've been the last week-ish or so? Well this last week my boyfriend took me down to Miami for a cruise to the Bahamas! No we didn't get killed by Gustov or Hanna or Ike or Josephine. We ran into a little weather DRIVING down there (btw, we live in OHIO, yeah. Never doing... 2008-09-07T05:08:01Z 2008-09-07T05:08:01Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2938 Today is exactly one year after my very first upload! I guess that means its my creator birthday? Anyways, I'm celebrating it with my 100th upload (also an achievement to be celebrated)! If when I started out someone told me that I would learn everything I have, be able to do all that I can do now,... 2008-07-18T08:26:50Z 2008-07-18T08:26:50Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2801 Holy snikies! They made me a Mod! I'm Green! I has a hat now! EEEEE!!!!!!!!! On another front, my school projects are kicking my butt, and I'll be moving home shortly, so life went quickly from being boring to being way too busy. We'll see how well I juggle it all. I love the chaos! 2008-06-02T16:12:36Z 2008-06-02T16:12:36Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2663 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Phaenoh/Sims/MedievalPeasantsBanner.jpg Update: I've added Peasants! I originally was only going to add 3 serf families and a carpenter, but one of my serf families turned out to be perfect as tailors. The first family pictured is the Haysons, mom Hadriana... 2008-05-15T00:43:35Z 2008-05-15T00:43:35Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2619 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Phaenoh/Sims/MedievalFamilyBanner.jpg Update: I finished making over the families and the picture above is what they look like now. It took me a long time but I finally finished townifying all the custom clothes I downloaded (a LOT). I decided to only... 2008-05-09T03:20:40Z 2008-05-09T03:20:40Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2606 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa210/Phaenoh/Sims/MedievalLandBanner.jpg Update on Medieval Veronaville: The image you see above is a sweet UI edit that I made, but it doesn't totally work properly yet. The image shows up fine in the neighborhood chooser, but I wanted it to show on the load... 2008-05-05T07:15:16Z 2008-05-05T07:15:16Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2598 Ok, so the reason I haven't been frantically uploading things like I usually tend to is because I've finally cleared enough crap off my little lappy to set up my medieval neighborhood!! I'd been planning this out for a while but its hard to even work much less dream about a new hood when I have... 2008-05-02T23:44:17Z 2008-05-02T23:44:17Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2588 Today is my birthday! Sw00t! I'm legal now... Going to see a movie with my mom and then to Harry's 'Chocolate' Shop (read alcohol). Tomorrow I'm going to a night club with my two best already 21 friends, and then when I get back to college (I'm on spring break, remember?) I'll be hitting the bars... 2008-03-27T14:41:49Z 2008-03-27T14:41:49Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2505 OMG! I got featured! The final post of my Katrina cottages got featured! (I'm guessing it was meant as a the entire set was worth one feature, thats why the other 4 didn't get trophy icons, but they are still 'Top Picked'). Whatever. I"M FEATURED. Snap, I finally get that little trophy icon next to... 2008-02-07T01:32:42Z 2008-02-07T01:32:42Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2352 So yeah, contest entry. Sweet action Tire Swing. This is the first time you get spoilers, meh. Echo and Tig have been LOADs of help, Echo made the original package, and helped me with some of the beginning stuff, and Tig helped with the animation, thats right, 'Tiggerypum-Animation'. It took us far... 2007-12-19T04:13:28Z 2007-12-19T04:13:28Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2214 Sw00t, cool. I got another little magic plumbob guy. Now I has 2 gold shinies under my name. I was just thinking today that I wasn't going to enter any more contests. I don't have time for my other projects anymore. Maybe I'll keep entering them, dunno. Maybe I'll just scale back so I can collect... 2007-12-11T04:13:34Z 2007-12-11T04:13:34Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2183 I had all four wisdom teeth removed yesterday morning. So much pain. The pain meds are luckily doing an alright job of keeping it manageable, but I wouldn't recommend the procedure to anyone who wants a Happy Holidays... Its not all terrible news though, since I'm stuck here in bed (jaw is swollen... 2007-12-07T00:20:32Z 2007-12-07T00:20:32Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2170 Ahh, time to relax. I'm off till Jan 7. Though, who am I kidding about relaxing? I'll prolly be non-stop sim creating till then. Ok, not really, I'm scheduled to have my wisdom teeth out on Dec. 5, and I do need to spend some time making Christmas presents, and Mom is having me take a course on... 2007-12-02T08:40:17Z 2007-12-02T08:40:17Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2154 I got started early with my idea, and then school knocked me back quite a bit. I'm starting to think I might not have enough time to finish my project. I need to make 52 outfits, I've got three done. About half of them require at least some mesh work. Then I've still got alot of other work and... 2007-11-16T07:09:09Z 2007-11-16T07:09:09Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2102 So I had been getting a little bummed at none of my work being featured, but the rate at which I turn things out, I wasn't surprised. Two of my things got Top Picked. I have little stars now! That makes me feel better, my winning contest entry for The Ancients and my neighborhood Sand Simolean... 2007-11-03T19:46:58Z 2007-11-03T19:46:58Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2054 I barely squeaked in under the wire, but I finished my contest entry mostly on time. I made Shirley Temple. Go check her out! While making her hair I was getting increasingly fed up at the lack of any full-blown hair tutorials, so I decided to write my own. Go check that out too. I still have my... 2007-10-18T04:45:18Z 2007-10-18T04:45:18Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=2004 I'm sure someone might have noticed that I haven't had an upload in a couple of days. This is because I've been working on my latest project. Making sims items REAL. Thats right, stuff from the game to your living room. So far I have buttons, magnets, hats, a calendar, baby clothes, a bib, bags,... 2007-09-08T18:38:47Z 2007-09-08T18:38:47Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1852 omgomgomgomgomg!!! My contest entry made the short list for the vote!!!! I'm so excited and freaked!!!! ahhh! I don't think I'll be able to concentrate on anything else while the poll is still up! I still can barely believe I got this far! 2007-09-01T21:02:50Z 2007-09-01T21:02:50Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1826 My Ancients Contest entry finally posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2007-08-21T03:34:11Z 2007-08-21T03:34:11Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1788 I do listen to requests, post them as comments here. Ok, I submitted my contest entry back on the 13th, its still in approval que. The mods say they are a bit behind. Thats alright with me, I was panicking that they didn't get mine or something. On to other things. 10 to be exact. I'm running... 2007-08-17T21:19:55Z 2007-08-17T21:19:55Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1769 I remeshed my columns for my contest entry. Now I want them to link together. I've been trying and trying and trying to get them to connect. But I am just thwarted at each turn! I have a single story column as my repository. I have a 2 story that I need to link to it. Currently, I've recolored its... 2007-08-13T17:48:53Z 2007-08-13T17:48:53Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1753 Ok, so I've figured out the basics of editing an existing mesh, and I ran with it. Good, cool, peachy keen. Then I run into this problem. I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME make the face look halfway decent, or even human for that matter. Everything else is working out beautifully, but it won't mean... 2007-08-09T16:13:21Z 2007-08-09T16:13:21Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1731 Ok, so I was getting annoyed with how a key part of my contest entry was looking, so I downloaded that trial version of Milkshape and started deleting things I didn't like. I was only half following the tutorial, cuz I was pretty sure it wouldn't work right anyways, but when I loaded it into the... 2007-08-06T03:05:40Z 2007-08-06T03:05:40Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1717 I'm working on a contest entry. I'm not going to give away any surprises, but I will tell you that its a Community Lot. The construction is, for the most part, finished, now I'm working on the custom floor and wall coverings, and depending on how cooperative it wants to be, a complicated object... 2007-08-03T04:08:18Z 2007-08-03T04:08:18Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1708 -poll closed 2007-07-27T23:05:03Z 2007-07-27T23:05:03Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1681 Hurray, Disney Babies made number ten, allowing me to start this journal! Here I plan on discussing projects I am currently working on and where you can submit requests or suggestions. (I'm not the worlds best modder, but I will tell you straight up if I think I can do it.) Here's a little info... 2007-07-24T23:22:34Z 2007-07-24T23:22:34Z https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showcomments&e=1664
