Mod The Sims; https://modthesims.info ================================================================================ : Ace of Clubs : 6th Apr 2012 at 3:34 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6042 ================================================================================ Check Us Out! http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1644/daluved1aceofclubs.png Now that I've gotten my 100 uploads at MTS, I'll be focusing more on my side sites such as Leefish and our new group site Ace Creators! The Ace Creators is a collabo project between me, Anubis360, Juliana Sims, and Elexis. I'm so lucky to be working with such a talented group of creators. Our grand opening was a few days ago, so check out the new site! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Oh what madness.... : 6th Feb 2012 at 5:01 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5933 ================================================================================ http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/34238_120205051201CardClue.png ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Oh the pixelated horror! : 18th Dec 2011 at 1:57 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5836 ================================================================================ I just recently stumbled across my very first, truly custom upload. AKA, the Fantasy Bridesmaid dress. Check it out: http://mysims3blog.blogspot.com/2010/02/fantasy-bridal-bridesmaid-by-daluved1.html It is awful! Thank God I've evolved. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Well what do you know...? : 18th Jun 2011 at 8:18 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5550 ================================================================================ I recently discovered that my TS3 graphics were not maxed. I've been taking all my screenshots with high sim detail...but...I can go up to VERY high (oooooOOOoooo). Part of me wants to retake all my upload screenshots...again... ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : In case you ever wonder why the chat is down.... : 25th May 2011 at 3:16 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5502 ================================================================================ I wrote this story in response to the IRC chat being down for a day or so. I thought it was hilarious, and I wanted to preserve it. :jest: It was a dark and stormy night in the Lunatic house, and our dear sweet HugeLunatic was pondering. "What are we going to do today, HL?" She asked herself. "Same thing that we do everyday, HL....TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" After declaring this, HL jumped in her most eeeeeeeeevil outfit ever--a pink muumuu with matching slippers--and headed towards the door. Midway across the door threshold, HL thought to herself. "Oh no! I forgot to check my Scorecard today! Gotta see how many gnomes and Pescados are downloading my stuffeths!" So she rushed off in a pink highpoly blur to Mod The Sims. After verifying enough werewolves were downloading her window set, she returned back to her evil plan. But before she got out of her desk chair another, even more eeeeeeevil thought came to her mind and she rushed into the chat! Once she joined the room and ChanServ gave her her pink fluffy hat and scepter, she spotted her target. The most talented, most awesome, most made of win creator ever in the history of the sims. That creator was the fair and noble Leesester who was just sitting in her bowl. Normally the most awesome creator in chat would be daluved1, but she was busy purplefying her fingernails and toes that night, and was not available. Ahem...anyways. Poor Lee was just sitting her bowl, being all sweet and innocent when BAM, HL appeared! Her and her high poly boobies jumped into Lee's bowl, splashing water everywhere. Ya see, HL was jealous of Lee and wanted to be rid of her for once and for all. Lee let out a dainty scream, "ooooh halp, I'm being attacked!" Lucky for her Sparkle heard, and came rushing to help. By that time HL had Lee in a head lock and was forcing her to download from the *gasp* Exchange! (dun dun dun) Lee's eyes were almost melting by the time Sparkle came up behind HL and clocked her in the head with a large turkey drumstick, Flintstones style. With a bottle of eyeball bleach in hand, Sparkle tried her best to save Lee's eyesight but it was too late. Lee had suffered severe retina burn from the exchange. Sparkle and Lee were so busy mourning the loss of lee's eyes that they did not notice that HL had risen!! With all the force that she could muster, HL threw herself at Lee and Sparkle! But oh no! HL tripped over her own pink slipped foot and crashed into the side of the bowl. The impact was so hard that Lee's bowl toppled over and sent a tsunami of water that was headed straight towards the IRC server! Before they could scream "Oh by golly!" the water had shortened out the servers and the chat crashed. And all but HL was sad, because she truly had just done the most evil thing. Knocked down all communication for the MTSers. Now we're all forced to.....talk to actual people! NOOOOOOO ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Thank you Cmo... : 5th May 2011 at 4:26 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5474 ================================================================================ If I see ONE! MORE! POSE-SET! I am going to FREAK! /end rant. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Look Back At Me : 9th Apr 2011 at 5:06 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5435 ================================================================================ Hehehehe, so I've been playing with the new pose animator and have tried my hand at my own custom pose. http://i53.tinypic.com/9sxl54.jpg I'm no traelia, but for a first time animator it looks pretty good. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Hanging Up the Tiara : 19th Jan 2011 at 5:00 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5294 ================================================================================ http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/25221_110119054135gonefishing.jpg Hi guys, I've decided to call it quits on creating, at least for a little while. The spring semester at school has started back up for me so I really need to focus on my school work. I'm carrying 17 credit hours this semester which is a lot when paired with a part-time job and student teaching. =/ Also, I'm a little burnt out and discouraged from my last couple of projects. First and foremost I create for me and share with the community once I consider my creation awesome. I take lots of time hand drawing my textures and refuse to photoskin any. Never have, never will. I'm sorry, but that pencil precise, hard line, overly sharp shit is awful to look at in game. I prefer to have my clothing look soft and loose--and TBH a little blurry--because it's what I like in my game. I realize some don't like my style, and that's okay. I do listen to your input (believe me) but my texturing style is not something I wish to drastically change anytime soon. So, I'm just going to step back from creating a bit because I'm getting frustrated. Anyhoos, I hate to bitch and whine but sometimes you just have to get stuff off your chest (and non of my RL friends play the sims, so I can't vent to them :p). I do appreciate all of the kind words and thanks I've received, so please don't think I'm being ungrateful. I'm not leaving the site, I'll still be hanging around doing modly stuff so feel free to PM as usual. I'm just not going to be uploading for a while. I love you all! :lovestruc ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Thanks? : 11th Jan 2011 at 4:03 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5280 ================================================================================ Ever since the My Downloads feature was reintroduced, I've gone back and thanked every post I downloaded from. Not only because I like to see that shiny 100% thanked badge, but I also would have wanted my object thanked as well. Although I much rather get a nice "thank you" comment, seeing the thanks count grow is just as heart warming. Like, honestly, I make creations partly for me but mostly for the community. And, knowing that it's appreciated makes the long nights of creating worth it. What is a little saddening is the thanks to downloads ratios. For example, my new Bare Essentials beds set has--as of now--about 1500 downloads...yet only 200 hundred thanks. It's not that hard to click the little thumbs up button....I know, I know...it's just another statistic but jeeeeez.....It kinda makes me not want to continue making add ons for the set. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : S3OC and Me : 16th Dec 2010 at 3:49 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5227 ================================================================================ So I've been dabbling with TS3 object creation and so far....I've made a fence...yep....one whole fence. Actually the fences I made are larger versions of the shrubbery fences and they came out really fantastic. I should have them for download soon. Ironically I tried to make a second object, a simple Rubik's Cube. It's nothing but one box in Milkshape with a simple box UV map. However...I cannot get the damn thing in game! How can I make a fence, but not a stupid cube o.O I'm going to dabble some more with the cube and hopefully be able to successfully get it in game. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Sims To-Do List : 14th Dec 2010 at 8:03 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5223 ================================================================================ List of requested sims, no promises on if they'll ever get done. -Tyga -JayZ -Kanye West -Eminem -Ester Dean -Keri Hilson -Drake -Kid Cudi -Curren$y -BoA -Weezy -George Bush (thanks RiRi :p) -Lucy Desi Ball Names in bold are currently in progress. Feel free to leave a request :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Meshes! Meshes! Read all about 'em! : 4th Oct 2010 at 2:44 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5110 ================================================================================ As a thank you to the community, I've decided to share some of my custom meshes! You can find them at Leefish in Dal's Desk. As of now they're all labeled "mesh". I hope to get a separate sub-forum soon. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Busy as a little Bee :D : 26th Feb 2010 at 4:14 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4679 ================================================================================ So, it's a new year and junk. How delightful! Firstly, I'd like to congratulate Flabaliki on the revamping of TSS. I love it :D. Secondly...I want to mention all the new shinies that have popped up lately. Actually, it'll be easier to list them. Simmy Things: -Became a moderator at TheSimSupply -Made a bucket load of video tutorials that can be found at TSS. So, if you've ever wanted to hear what dal sounds like, now's your chance. -Uploaded a few new things to MTS -Been featured on MySims3Blog (yes it's a big deal to me) -I have my own "desk" in the hectic office of our own Leesester: (http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/forumdisplay.php?fid=12) It's not much now, but I do plan on making it a quasi-blog and a place to upload little TS3 trinkets that I don't want to formally upload to MTS or to TSS. Personal Stuff: -About to graduate! Yay! -I found out I'm a National Achievement Finalist :D -I've got tons of college scholarships pouring in -I *may* be going on a tour of Europe, Asia and Australia -umm...did I mention I'm about to graduate? So yeah, 2010 is shaking up to be a really good year so far. Oh, and I want to give a shout out to #create. The regulars (and the new people) can really brighten your day sometimes :jest: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : New Shinies! : 13th Dec 2009 at 4:05 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4514 ================================================================================ The latter half of the year has been going just lovely for me! Well for the most part...there's been a few *hang ups* but everythings all good now :D In case you haven't noticed, dally has a hat now! Say what?! Yep, I've been made a moderator! It's weird because when I first came to this site, all I came on here for was the downloads. I never would have imagined I'd be one of those people with a blue name (site helper), and definitively not a green one :P I really enjoy this site and the people here: QBUILDERZ, flabaliki, RiBlan, fanseelamb, Canoodle, Anubis360, plasticbox, Loaf, Arisuka, Audrey, HP, Delphy, Whiterider, porkypine and well...everyone else in #create or CFF! Thanks guys! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Kicking out the jams! : 21st Oct 2009 at 7:03 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4411 ================================================================================ Yeah, that title is totally irrelevant to this entry. Anyhoos, I honestly have kinda lost interest in creating right now. I have soooo many ideas in my head, but not enough time and/or patience to pursue them. It's my senior year, so between studying, exams, papers and homework, I've been swamped. Not to mention I have to go to work too. -______- My reason for all the bitching and moaning was simply to say, I'm taking a break! Atleast until I graduate... I'll still be a-bopping about the site and the chat, I just won't be doing much in the way of creating. But, if you have CAS creation question, feel free to shoot me a pm. I'm a Site Helper for a reason, yes? Love y'all! Especially everyone in #create. :3 ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Ooh shiny :) : 23rd Sep 2009 at 11:18 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4325 ================================================================================ Coming soon to a Wiki Near you: -Face Overlay Tutorial -Face Mask Tutorial :D ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Ugh... : 15th Sep 2009 at 4:32 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4287 ================================================================================ I'm a bit done with creating at the moment... Got to get ready for my new job :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Woot :D : 9th Sep 2009 at 3:42 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4271 ================================================================================ I have a new job! Well technically it's my old job...but I'm happy nonetheless. Now I can quit my awful...AWFUL...internship :D Creator News: I have some new stuffs coming in ^^ and one involves a *new* mesh! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Why have you forsaken me.... : 8th Sep 2009 at 1:12 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4259 ================================================================================ So....I have the flu....AGAIN! First they diagnosed me with a "flu-like illness" about a week or two ago. It had seemed to have gone away... But oh no....this past Saturday the illness came back with a vengance. It's not just the flu...it's the Swine Flu! Dx Someone up there hates me... But on a good note...I have more time for TS3 creation :)....A lot more time.... edit: Damn it all to hell! >.< I just got bitten by a mosquito...._%*#&+&&#! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Eh... : 4th Sep 2009 at 5:21 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4251 ================================================================================ This week is not a very good one...in fact it flat out sucks ass :( However there are a few good highlights: (1) I found out I'm a National Achievement Award Finalist :D (2) QBUILDERZ got promoted to moderator. Congrats Q, you deserve it! :up: Anyhoos, hopefully next week will be less suckish. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Hello Lovelies :) : 31st Aug 2009 at 6:13 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4234 ================================================================================ I finally decided to actually create a guest-book entry, and I guess I'll use this space to tell you guys a little more about myself. :P About Daluved1 (1) My full screen name is daluved1 and it's pronounced "the loved one". However, my name has been shorten to daluved or dal. (2) I focus mainly on body shop creations for TS3. (3) I love to help people, like I genuinely enjoy it. I consider myself a CAS creation guru, so I don't mind if you ask me a question :) (4) My two main hangouts are at the Creator Feedback Forum and in the #create chat room. (5) I love to give feedback and help people improve their creations. But, I do not like to be recruited. Yes I do help make special CC for some creators' uploads, but that's totally at my discretion. (6) I'm a very, very nice person and I try to be kind to everyone. But if you get catty with me, the niceness fades and my claws come out :D (7) When it comes to requests, I don't really take them...so stop pm-ing me, or else.... About the Real Daluved1 (1) My real name is Alaina. (2) I give people nicknames, it's sort of a personal habit. (3) I have a strange sense of humor, and I'm very sarcastic. So don't be offended if I say something smart-assy. (4) My favorite adjective is "Creepy" or "Creepish". It's a term of endearment, as wacky as that sounds. :lol: (5) Speaking of terms of endearment; This is very backwards but I show my love and fondness in insults. I know it's weird so hush! (6) I'm scared to death of balloons. (7) I'm an artist. (8) I'm a webmaster and I'm currently studying to get my CIW certification :D (9) I'm majoring in Mathematics and/or Physics (10) I have naturally freakishly long nails. (11) I'm hot-headed and impulsive (12) I love to be childish and immature, but I know when to be serious. (13) I'm passive-aggressive, so I try to avoid confrontations and tough situations. (14) I am SUPER DUPER shy :) (15) I love music! Especially older music. I rarely even listen to anything from the 21st century. In case you haven't noticed, I'm generally more awesome than your average female ;) Well that's about all I can think of now, and if you actually stuck around and read this, then kudos to you! ~Dal ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : -sniffles- : 27th Aug 2009 at 7:00 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4223 ================================================================================ So I has teh flu? I think... Anyhoos, since technically I'm "bed-ridden", that leaves me a lot of free time to create :D So yay Influenza! :jest: And I'd like to give a shout out to Hinananana! Thanks for sharing your germs :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Thing To Do : 26th Aug 2009 at 6:24 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4221 ================================================================================ (1) Finish Alma Mater project (2) Start Henna tattoo set (3) Start -shady- brow conversions...eventually *sigh* If only I wasn't so lazy... >>" ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Next Project: : 25th Aug 2009 at 3:27 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4209 ================================================================================ Henna anyone? :D ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Give me something to do... : 15th Aug 2009 at 1:29 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4174 ================================================================================ Gah, I'm so uninspired it should be a sin.. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Face to Name? : 11th Aug 2009 at 1:37 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4157 ================================================================================ I posted in the MTS Photo Album :) Go find it. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Senior Status? : 10th Aug 2009 at 6:33 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4149 ================================================================================ I'm going to blurb about real life now :) I've just started my senior year of highchool -happy dance- and it's going great so far. I only have 4 real classes, the rest are just fillers like offices aide and TA's. I'm defintely feeling the higher authority :) But with this being my very last year to be lazy...it's put somethings in perspective. I have to grow up soon, you guys :( That's so haunting to me. All my life I've always expressed how much I was ready to be on my own, but now I wish I could stop time. My mom was right when she said that I'd regret wishing to grow up faster =/ So, I'm going to take my last year as a "child" and make it the best year ever. No more antisocialness, no more laziness. :) I'm making this years Mu Alpha Theta, National Honours Society, and GSA the best--most productive--clubs this year. Especially GSA, because last year all we did was sit on our asses and bake brownies >>" ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Next Project : 10th Aug 2009 at 3:31 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4147 ================================================================================ I've got a super surprise for all of you who loved -Shady-'s TS2 creations :D ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Work =.=' : 7th Aug 2009 at 5:55 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4132 ================================================================================ Working sucks. I only have a week to get 17 websites up and functioning! Okay so I procrastinated the whole summer.....but creating pretty things for the sims is so much fun *_* -sigh- The good thing about being a webmaster is I only have to show up for a few days every month...you know what? I'm quiting. It was volunteer work anyways. Oh, back to school tomorrow :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Very nice, very nice indeed. : 6th Aug 2009 at 5:55 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4129 ================================================================================ Oh wow! I googled my screenname today...I really need to add more variety to my logins because I'm extremely stalker friendly :lol: Anyhoos, I found out that some of my creations have been featured on other sites as well! I'm so....flattered? Excited? Idk...but it feels nice :) I hope to leave my mark on the Sims 3 world, since I missed the start of the Sims 2 modding. It's so exciting to see how far modding has come. Can you believe it's only been a little under 2 months since the game came out?! Mind blowing! I love this site, and I plan to stick around for a while :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Inspiration...less. : 5th Aug 2009 at 8:16 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4127 ================================================================================ Lately I haven't had any good ideas for creations...this kinda sucks. On the other hand, I've got a few more CAS part tutorials written that need to be wikied. -Speculars -Overlays On a random note: My Twitter account got hacked T-T and now it's been suspended =/ Ah well, Twitter was lame anyways -end denial- ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Soooo : 31st Jul 2009 at 8:46 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4111 ================================================================================ I don't really know what I'm supposed to write here. So I guess I'll ramble until a good idea strikes me...eh...I've got nothing... :jest: ================================================================================ : ---End File---
