London, rudeness and a new collection.

Hi all

Just come back from a long weekend in my hometown of London.  What fun!  Using the underground system may be one of the easiest ways of travelling round london but my god!  So many stairs, long passages, escalators and then at the weekend stations that are closed but no sign they are closed til you are almost at the station concerned!  Bravo!

Londoners are rude unsmiling people!  They live in one of the best cities in the World and are as miserable looking as is possible to be! A smile won't kill them but hey they're not willing to take the risk.

In 3 days we saw most of the major landmarks of London.  Tower Bridge, Houses of parliament, Buckingham Palace, the london eye, the Tower of London, the giant glass dildo near Canary Wharf (Not actually a dildo but thats what it looks like) plus Leicester Square and the Winter Wonderland. The British Museum and National galleries near Trafalgar Square were also stops for us.   This gave me ideas for a new collection of lots for Sims2!  Woot!

So coming up soon are not one but two new collections!

A touch of Provence - lots inspired and almost identical to those of the provencal village where I live.  So expect small charming businesses, village town houses, and a couple of countryside homes.

London Tours - Lots inspired by the famous landmarks of London.  Hopefully close to the originals but in some cases way scaled down!

I'll keep you posted here.

Resident Evil - Part 1

Hi there

A request from Neveras333 on MTS2.  He is a fan of Resident evil as are many of us.  His request was some resident evil influenced lots.

The first here is the mansion/hive.

The mansion is a 2 storey mansion with side terraces, 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, dining room and guest toilet.  At the rear of the entrance hall is the secret entrance to the Hive.

THE HIVE

5 stories for your sims.

1 floor - entry level.  Here you'll find labs, the main office area (Watch out for Halon gas!), a coffee area, TV lounge and toilets.

2 floor - Lab level.  More lab space (Ideal for locking your scientists inside and drowning them!) plus two storage areas with Umbrella corporation crating.  What mutants might lurk inside?

3 floor - Dining level.  Main dining room and kitchen.  On the map provided by Umbrella authorities are marked extra dining rooms, strange how they turn out to be 2 extra storage rooms with more ominous crates!

4 floor - Resident level.  6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

5 floor - basement.  Pool.

Find the file under 'Requests'.

Needs only Basegame and University
Uses Custom content from: MTS2, TSR and Garden of Shadows

R.I.P Limewire and WTF Bin Laden???

Hi all

Well as many Internet users out there may already know as of 26th October 2010 the very popular Limewire file sharing and downloading system has been killed by a court injunction.  The system was quickly shutdown.  Along with hundreds of thousands if not millions of people I was a user of Limewire - hell I actually paid for Limewire!  Maybe I should get a court ruling to get my money back?  not sure it works in favour of the little guy just the huge music industry companies who milk music lovers for every penny they possibly can.

How many CD's are out there by artists where the only difference between one cd that came out the year before and the 'new' one is just one song and sometimes the new song is just a remix?  Yes I want to be violated by the music companies!!!! Please!

Bin Laden has issued threats against France!  To withdraw troops and stop the interdiction against the burkha.  Why are so many Muslims over here?  Especially those who wish to remain faithful to their countries of origin with their treatment of women and children?  Stay in your own countries where life is apparantly a paradise!  If not stop the complaining!  Realise you came here for a reason and that the country you have decided to stay in has every right to dictate certain things about your life!  If we go to your countries we follow your clothing regulations, no shorts, no uncovered shoulders for women etc so shut the hell up already and join the 21st century!

Bin Laden?  Some sad old Muslim idiot who thinks he can dictate to the rest of the World?  Wonder how much he follows his own religion?

France and 3 strikes you're out?

Hi all

Well as many of you may have seen on various news programmes around the World most of France is on strike! The train company, the petrol trucks, the teachers, the post office and why?  Because the French government want to increase the age of retirement to 67!  Get a grip already, of course for the moment its only 60!  But in the rest of Europe it is at least 65! 

But then we are talking about a country where the average store closes at 12noon opens again at 3.30pm or even 4pm!  They then close again at 6.30pm or 7pm.  Sunday opening does not exist and late night opening does not exist!  Shops open at 10am so its not as if shop workers are killing themselves.

Marseilles is being buried under tonnes of rubbish, shop workers in Lyon are scared to go to work due to the riots and looters!  Welcome to France!!!!

National pastime?  Striking! 
National Sport?  Drinking and smoking

Need we remember the idiocy of the French football team at this years World Cup?

My advice to anyone out there reading this, if you're planning on visiting France in the near future stay at home!

Hugs
