    A Very Late Notice 

    Hey everyone!

    I don’t even know if anyone will check up and read on this post, but I’ll put this up here regardless. First off: Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you and yours have a lovely day filled with amazing food!

    Secondly: no, I did not die on the plane on my way here; I got here safe and sound and am very much in love with America and the people here, but not so in love with the food. Haha. And my Uni. It’s amazing. It’s beautiful, it’s so … creative and it’s just one of the most beautiful campus-less universities anyone could ever wish for!

    Thirdly: I’m so sorry there hasn’t been any update here, and no news either. I’m sorry I disappeared from the community; I was too caught up with university and settling in here. I forgot my Windows CD at home in Pakistan so I haven’t been able to play or to create any cc for the game. But that will change soon hopefully as I asked my dad to send me my CD. Yay!

    And so, if anyone wants any meshes or recolors or anything, please go to forums like SimsFileVault and BlackPearlSims as I will probably be unable to email you any files for a while until I am back to updating this place again. Sorry for any discomfort that might cause to anyone, and once again, I’m so sorry for this very late and overdue post!

    Love to all! x

    Jellyfish: Beach-Themed Recolors [Part Uno] 

    Sigh… another sleepless night. Honestly, this is getting old. Well, it’s morning here (5.46 AM) and I’ve finished taking the last of the screenies for this one. I am so glad this set is finally done! I honestly thought it’d never be finished – I kept adding and removing recolors, and then getting frustrated with badly mapped ones. Grr. But it’s done, and I’m sure Eva would be happy – she was the one who suggested many of the meshes I recolored. ^^ Thanks Eva!! *glomps*

    I tried to go with a happy+slightly minimalistic+beachy style here, I’m not sure how much it shows through, but I am happy with how it came out – and I lovelovelove the teapots and the pillows! ♥

    Not all recolors are shown in the previews… so you can click on the recolor names in the list below to see the additional ones ^^ (there are bucketloads, I promise you) and not all meshes are included (because of the repository technique) so please read the following list carefully:

    Blake_Boy’s Tivoli Plantation Set Recolor [Preview | Get Meshes]
    Buggybooz Drift Living Surfaces Recolor [Preview | Get Meshes]
    Karas Cube Cabinet Recolors [Preview | Get Meshes]
    Mira’s Shop Shelves Recolors [Preview | Get Meshes]
    Bon Voyage Collectible Traveler Poster Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Lirunchik’s Morgana Bedroom Bag Recolors & TKAngies Tote Bag Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Miras Teyon Bedroom Vases Recolor [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Mira’s Grupsa Set Tea-Set Recolors & OM’s Teapot + Sugar-Pot Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Moune’s Neighborhood: Amali Living Pillows Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Murano’s Mono Kitchen Shelves Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    Murano’s Static Dining Shelf Recolors [Preview | Mesh included.]
    Nanu’s Latia Living Part 2 Seating Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    MSFS Dining Recolors [Preview | Meshes included.]
    BillyJeans Many Pictures Recolor [Preview | Mesh included.]

    Total recolors = 182. Phew.

    I’m going to be moving to the US for university the end of this month, so I might not be able to update for quite some time… sorry! That being said – thank you for visiting/downloading/commenting, and I hope you and your loved ones have a beautiful day! ♥

    …and I shall head to bed now. ^^

      Hi! I know this maybe doesn’t belong here but I couldn’t find anywhere else to post it…anyway…I loved your “Box House” that u did, but I see u don’t have it up for downloading. Do u still have it? If u do I would love to get it ^^

      • Omer 12:58 am on November 14, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        Hi Jessica.. I made that house when Rida and I shared this blog. Unfortunately I don’t think I have it with me anymore, but what you can do is to go to any popular Sims 2 forum and start a thread in the sharing section. I’d recommend Black Pearl Sims, but with so many nice people in the community I think you’ll luck out anywhere. G’luck. :)

    Artist Canvases 

    Remember when I asked you guys to tell me more canvases to recolor for artist sims? Well I got an email from Nixy, and she sent me these amazing meshes, allowing me to recolor them! (Thank you Nixy!) I’ve had these on my harddisk for quite some time now (about a month, I think?) and I thought it’s time I stopped being selfish and shared these beauties. 14 recolors, meshes included – and trust me, the meshes are absolutely gorgeous without recolors too! There might be a continuation of this set, I think. I have a lot of ideas in mind, but sadly not enough time to work on them.

          Rida, I loooove these canvases and I DL them. In my game though, unfortunately, your recols are appearing on the backside of the canvases, so I guess there’s sth. wrong… Is it only my game? Do I do sth. wrong? Would you mind checking on these again? Thanks for sharing, anyways!

      • Silvia 1:39 pm on June 28, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        Thank you sooooo much for sharing these beauties with us my lil darling – they are just as wonderful as you are ! *heart*

        Love you !

    • Strange Tomato 4:40 pm on June 21, 2009 Permalink | Reply

      Those paintings are gorgeous! I’m always excited to see more canvases like this.

      One thing, though… you’re actually looking at the back of a canvas with that mesh. The edges show the wood frame and the canvas stretched around to the back (meant to seem like the canvas is leaning with the face to the wall). So, essentially, this looks like someone has restretched these paintings in reverse, and perhaps plans to paint on the other side.

    • Deborah 2:26 am on June 22, 2009 Permalink | Reply

      These are wow beautiful… I love them !!!!!!!!!! :-) Thank you !!!

      • Jessica 12:02 am on September 20, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        For the longest time I thought I couldn’t get these to work, but the paintings do in fact actually show up on the *back* of the canvas. lol I just figured it out last night…but I couldn’t use them b/c of the way they lean, so I set it up much like you did with one painting showing and the other 2 canvases blank b/c they were actually on the other side. hehe Glad I figured it out. ;)

      i have a problem!!! i love these so so so much, but for some reason they all show up in the game as blank canvases, in the description it said they are slave meshes, and that i need the mster mesh, is that the problem? if so where do i find the master meshes? thanks so much for making these :D , and please give me a hand if u have the time :D

    Recolors For Silvia 

    I’m sorry I haven’t updated lately, I’ve been lazy and moody. Butbutbut that’s okay if I come here with good news, right? There’s an update in progress annnnd I did these recolors for the amazing Silvia and got completely carried away! These kept me up two nights (and an afternoon) in a row and came out quite unexpected (I’ve never done ’shabby chic’ before) but not unpleasing, actually. And of course there’s plaid for those who don’t like shabby. =^.^=

    Silvia has kindly allowed these recolors to be shared over at Black Pearl Sims. So, if anyone’s interested, you can nab them… HERE.

      Awww, these are adorable! I am a very big fan of shabby chic – you do it very well! :D
      I have been waiting for a while to get my confirmation email from BPS … hopefully it will come soon and I can download these?

      • Rida 7:24 am on June 17, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        I hope you get it soon Eva! Have you emailed the admins/tried to reapply for membership? Usually it’s instant, I think? Good luck! (:

          Rida, as I said to you already at BPS, these recols are stunning! I mean I love everything you do and I already commented on some other things on your site but I am really really in love with these recols. Great! Thank you soooo much for sharing your wonderful work that even costs you sleepless nights…

    • Rida 9:22 pm on June 19, 2009 Permalink
