Moving
Time pass by so fast...
We are in 2012 already, new year, new adventures ahead of us!
For the last months, me, and the creators Watermelon and LemonLeaf had an idea to make our own website.
From this idea, S-Club is born, our new home~
On our free time we worked on the design and website code development.
So we are quite happy to finally open it for public!
There will be my main site where I publish my creations now.
And I am very happy for that now, I don't create "alone" like I used to here.
We have been through some shaded moments for now, but we are crawling back, we always loved to create things for this game.
I know my last message was a bit misguided as to whether I would be sharing my CC again or not.
Whatever goes ahead of us, it is for the future to decide.
Learnt many lessons that we will carry along.
So far we have a new Hair Mesh available for The Sims 3, but we will be updating the site with our old custom content, as well our newest ones, of course.
Along this week will have some mods I hope you all like too, but will be surprise. :)
Many have been asking for the eyelashes already, but it is still a Work-in-Progress.
To manipulate the mesh with the eyes I need to create some sliders for the eyelash accessory to fit fine.
It's the old conflict of Low-Poly vs. High-Poly, results on that.
I've added Google's FriendConnect, so all of you can follow there.
Hopefully we get around using a Social connecting platform to inform of updates as well.
So, guys, I will still reply everyone in here until I get around to put the CC there.
After that, I will be redirecting the URL.
I hope see you guys there too!
Oh, before I forget, haha, the address is:
S-Club @ sclub.mktm.co.uk
As a final note, I would like to thank my friend OrangeMittens, who will be hosting our website.
Without her kindness you would not see our new site so soon.
Thank you, ORANGE! :)

Moment...
So... As for now you all see that I closed the blog..
It was meant to stay closed for sometimes while I solve my thoughts....
I have some things to say...
Someone from another community, got one of my works, and ported it to a different format, with no credits of the person who spent days making it.
Well, I got tired of discussing this with my friends already. This "problem" is solved now anyways.
At the time I closed the blog due to mix of feelings from moments of life then that..
So I thought better to close it and take some time to think where I go next or what I do...
I started receiving mails of people asking me what happened and supporting me and that brought me hope in the community.
I felt glad for that, I never meant to give any trouble here, and I appreciate that you guys enjoy the things I share here.
I've never been attacked by trolls or anything like that.
But to see support of the people who follow me and appreciate my work is fulfilling and gives back the willing I had before when I started modding this game.
I speak to the way people behave over creator works, you are all entitled of your own opinion but to say shit of someone, or try to create a fight, or attack someone, seriously, it's like being surrounded by a bunch of 10 year old children.
Free or pay, it doesn't matter, being a jerk to others just keep people off our community.
A community is meant to be helpful and supportive of others.
Some creators I know don't share their creations because of that.
I wrote this a time ago, but was on the dashboard.
Regarding PralineSims of TSR, using Lemonleaf work on textures, not crediting, not even mentioning anything.
Even worse, she was getting money from that.
And even worse, she tried to accuse Lemonleaf to steal from her.
This has been discussed inumerous times I know that already, but I just wanted to have my saying on this.
Because LL and WM are such talented creators, it is expected that others see their creation to be inspiring, to learn from them.
But to steal from them, it is certainly not something one would expect of "catholics that don't lie" and even swear that in the name of god.
I have taken a look at the time on the textures, it's way too obvious who stole from who.
I support their work because I know how hard they work on their CC and how long it takes to create something like they do.
Your act over all this just made me really disappointed on you, not as a "Sims Custom Content creator", but as the person you might be.
Shows no respect for others, the way you treated this is unbearable, shameful.
Of all this.. this have to change, how can we be a community with people attacking, or stealing from other creators?
Despite all that, there is great people behind nicknames.
And I've been shown that by now.
People that brings joy and will to be around.
After all we are all humans behind computers.
I always liked to create for this game, it is fun, entertaining, always anxious to see results.
So I don't want to leave or stop creating, even if for myself.
My purpose on sharing is that, sharing, see other peoples thoughts, critics, opinions...
Somethings I make to test the game boundaries, or just design something I would like to see on Sims.
Well there is much more I wanted to say...
But, due to I love to write, I see how big this post could get to...
Just how it is getting now...
I just want to let you know, thank you so much all for your visits here, for dropping by leaving comments, sending mails and to show support and appreciation.
It's lovely to see that, and then to come here.
Heck, it means a lot for me at this point, because it is to be part of something.
Writing this because really need to vent, and to express myself now.
Something many creators should as well.
I understand the circumstances of sometimes, not to, but don't let that be a wall from showing others who you are and what you feel.
Other side of things life is treating me well with university exams and the doubts of what path of life to live upon as always.
But I'm soon to be starting some new designs for a new place!
I will still update my mods, as I need to update them for myself too.
So, don't worry, you can relay on me for that.
Well guys...
Whoever you are, just remember to be the best person you can be to others.
Because by helping the next, you are helping yourself.

Sunday... Still Alive
Hey everyone it's been a while, huh!
Lately I've been working and studying like ever, so my brain is so tired of eating knowledge,
I have been programming like crazy lately, not to mention the numbers at my job....
But yeah, I am still pretty much still alive! Thanks to coffee! (Nonn, I hate coffe!)
I wanted to drop of some update for the blog as this weekend I had free time to simmie stuff :D
At first I tried finishing my last hair mesh, it's pretty solid now, but I still have to touch some things here and there.
A peek of it right now:
Don't know when I finish it, but pretty soon, if my agenda doesn't cut my free time again, that is!
Got some programming over s3sr done, let's say 50% of a sub-functionality, how great huh...
Not in a mood for C#, that's what happens.............
I removed from the grave a veryyyyy old project I had,
now that I have more experience and knowledge on this I was able to come up with something.
It's a accessory mesh for The Sims 3, more specifically an alpha-accessory that acts as a 3D "Fake Eyelash".
This was very tricky to get it to work, not only to make it alpha-enabled without Expansion requirement,
I had to clone a mesh from the base game, and edit the mesh TGIs and complates manually to get it to work right.
I couldn't use the GUI tools we have (TSRW, CTU, ...) because they always borked the mesh.
Due for being a alpha-mesh I had to replace the GEOM shader, as well specific mesh settings I can do only if I don't edit with those tools.
Not to mention the pain to get the lash shape right on the Sim face PLUS smooth vertex weights to match Sim facial movements.
I am speaking technically here, not everyone wants to know how it is done, but just know it is a lot of work. XD
With some textures:
The textures I just drawn mainly to test the difficulty to create a style to be applied to the mesh UV.
And, it's pretty easy, so much that I made around 13 of them.
But I would not release it like that, I want to actually take some time to make them not that rough looking of course.
LemonLeaf and WM will be working on their stencils too, in case I decide to retouch those I did maybe will be at the final product.
Just lately I heard of the CAP, man, they are the cutest things, I can't wait to get some of those kittens to ruin my sofas like in Sims2 haha!
But I am sure Skyrim will be my focus..
I can already see...
Oh, my grades....
Miss the big Apple....... what a loss.....

Hair Mesh #005 Wip
I started doing this hair at this warmth cozy morning, I got really only a base and some detail planes but it's really solid so far (I think)...
2.5 hours of work so far. Stop here, do that, back to that, and so on. Oh, life.
Fringe-less version (WIP (Maybe eternal haha)):
---
Right now I got more solid mesh and textured (thanks to anto XD)
I think it's pretty much done... except for that fringe.. I hate it XD
I am not good with fringes, if don't get it right, remove it. >___<

Healing - MarkR
Grief crushed – Failed my weakened frame. Tears poised in Broken eyes – The mourner’s face became At one with mine on me. Mind’s vista shone: Basked in younger days, An angel lived as Loving wife – Blossomed in bouquets Ordained for us to be. Fortitude of memory: We stood As once a mighty pillar, Eroding emery – Granite underlay our public soul. Time annealed – Staying grief Through my belief: Again your face I’d see.

How nice of this person, to get others meshes and not even credit them, very honest.
Meshing requires a great deal of time and effort, specially with hairs.
I don't mind what others make of my content, but I would like to at least be credited for such.
If she had the ability to strip a LOD from my file, sure she had a mind to know that one should at least tell who created it, at least.
It is just sad, and makes the sharing feels in vain.
I wasn't going to write about it, but these past time, ever since I got into the Sim community I saw a lot of these.. thefts, properly called.
See this: WM Notice
Some person stealing works from WM, LL, CoolSims, NewSea, Peggy, and many many others.
And WORSE, trying to sell it!
And now I just saw the creator NewOne has posted one as well: Here
A person trying to make money of a lovely 2D creator over at TSR as well.
And it doesn't stop there....
People sometimes ignore the policy. And even get into porting content to other formats and games.
It happens a lot with one called iMVU, many content from The Sims is ported there.
Plus, making it PAY and don't credit no one, as if they created it.
What is this?
What is the thought of these people?
People that steal things and even wants to make money over other people's works and efforts?
Please, if you see these, report it or do whatever in your power to help.
What is the world coming to... makes me lose my faith with humanity...
Isn't there any decency any more?

Happy Chocolaty Easter
So, got your Easter Eggs already? I am already eating mine... @_@
Interesting thing... Easter Island was named Easter Island, because it was discovered on Easter. ...How.. clever...!
~ Wish everyone a great and chocolaty Easter ~
"Take it easy on the CHOCOLATE"... I know I won't!

I sense much good things to come this year, after all it's a new year of life yet to come, so we better ENJOY IT! XD

Think about it.
This week I saw some kids mistreating a little kitten on the street, like he was just a toy.
I could not believe what I was seeing, I was so angry that I wanted to beat them, but them I realized I would be just as bad as they were with the kitten.
He was so injured, and even bleeding, I took him to a vet, and they are taking care of him. He is better now, and in good hands.
I just ask myself: Why!? Why were they thought it was fun hurting an defenseless animal.
Sometimes people have no sense at all, every living creature have feelings just as we do, it may not be as equal, but they have.
I wish I could keep him, but my life right now is such a mess that I would not be able to give him all the attention he deserved.
I shall quote this from Isaac Bashevis, which is just the truth about the way we behave:
Just..... Think about it.
10/10/2010
I went to visit the kitten to see how he was doing, the veterinary said that he had a small injury on his right foot, and it will take some time to heal, but he is eating and doing everything he should.
I took this picture of him, itsn't him the CUTEST THING!?
What really surprised me, was that when I went there, he was on a couch, and when he saw me he started meowing and meowing.
Then I sat next to him and he stopped, he even tried to move next me.
That moment my eyes shined by his affection.
I could not believe he reconized me from the day.
Because it was so crazy for him, I can't even imagine.
Jenny was with me, she is one of my friends, and she have 2 cats already.
From the moment, the veterinary said it's better for us to wait for his recover.
They were going to leave him to adoption, but I asked Ashley and when he is recovered she will take care of him!
I will visit him EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!
He is a little angel on my life, he deserves the best, and he will learn plenty of things with us, as well as we are going with him.
I don't know what else to say rather than this experience in my life was one that taught me many things.
It's funny, isn't it? The fact that on the endless probabilities out there, I was chosen for this particular one.
I thought on a name to him, I don't know which. But maybe, just maybe, I will call him Hope, Hopi for short.
He seems to be those little kittens that love to jump around everywhere.
But mostly, I thought on this name, because that he gave me hope.
Because I met him when I was really upset with some things in my life, and in such way that made me realize.
Realize of things, things that now, are completely meanless.
And because of him, hope went in and opened my eyes once again.

“
As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour towards creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.
