Hello, welcome to my journal, I'm so happy you came!
I am also on tumblr

Important Notes:

I've backed up all of my downloads on sims file share. Links to the folders for categories are available below. I'm going back and trying to add individual links on my posts as well.
I have gone through my downloads and replaced any missing images with the originals if I had them, or new ones if not. The only type download I didn't do this for was actual sims. If I accidentally skipped a download, let me know

( Downloads and More )

Works in Progress
- Taking pictures of my sims that I've uploaded and creating a download page for them
- Fix meshing errors on any of my already existing downloads
- Add morphs to my non-morphed meshes

Resources
Just ask me what you need to know. I always try to reply to all of my comments. If I actually know where I got something from, I would be happy to tell you. I think it would be too daunting at this point for me to make a resource list.

Policy:
I would appreciate it if you'd give credit to me when using my creations (or parts of them) to make your creations. If you do use my creations to make your own, please let me know! Most likely I would love to download what you made and I'll post a link to your stuff. Also, I keep most of my .PSDs so I'd be happy to share them and make things easier for you, just send me a message. Please don't claim my downloads as your own, that's not nice. Keep my stuff away from pay-sites.

Personal Info:
My name is Teresa. I graduated from college with degrees in Computer Science and Psychology. I have a full-time job as a software engineer. I previously worked in activities at a nursing home and as a tutor at my college. I live with my two cats.
If you want to know more about me, feel free to PM me here or contact me on tumblr.

I retextured these beautiful dresses hemfbg made. Check them out!

I've been meaning to do retextures of this top for a long time, and I finally did it. The textures for the shirt tend to get crunched up on this mesh (although the vest part is fine) but I tried to keep them as crisp as I could.

This is probably the fastest I’ve ever completed a project, I started this after I uploaded that AM athletic outfit and I somehow managed to finish the retextures and take preview pictures and everything. Sometimes it’s nice to just work off of an existing mesh that already has clean textures.

Mesh by MDP. Base texture on the shirt is derived from a Trapping texture. I added the folds and enhanced the seams. The two tops with patterns are from Pattern-a-Day. As usual, I used CuriousB's Any Color You Like color actions to help with these.

Download
Mesh included, as well as a bonus white recolor for making your own recolors.

Note: I'm aware there is a TF conversion of this mesh by DeeDee. I might slap these textures on there, but feel free to do it before I do.

Finally finished up that athletic outfit I was working on. I ended up re-doing the folds on the sides and back of the shorts and editing the mesh again to make them narrower. I kind of feel like these look more like pajamas than athletic wear, but the sneakers are on there so I'm sticking with it.

Credits:

The mesh that I grabbed the shorts from was some maxis teen to adult conversion that was done by Yagami. I tried to find it on Mod the Sims, since that's where I'm pretty sure I downloaded it years ago, but didn't have any luck. I completely re-painted the shorts texture. The top is from these athletic outfits by nintendolover13. The converses are by Yuxi but I ripped them off of a bunheadsbuns shorts mesh. Artwork is from Pattern-a-Day and reblogs on my art tumblr. Credit to CuriousB for the color actions I used to help me with recoloring.

Full Size Swatch

9 textures plus a plain white one for recolors. I also cleaned up and uploaded the PSD if anyone wants to make more retextures.

Download
New Mesh included, has fat and preg morphs. Enabled for elder males and categorized as everyday & athletic.

Finally fulfilled a request at GOS. Here's the original post. Removed the sleeves from these dresses.

Download.

This download includes:
1. My edit of the original mesh, removing the sleeves and making a new fatmorph. You cannot have the original mesh and mine, they will conflict.
2. The original recolors of the mesh with the textures edited to work with the new mesh. Like the mesh, these are edits of the original files and will conflict with the originals.
3. A few new retextures of the mesh by me, the green dress in the preview is my texture. The purple one in the preview is from the original textures that I fixed to work with the new mesh.

I retextured Veranka's Chair of Life Savings and Dee Dee's Mise En Plates in pirate woods for a request on GOS. Each color for the chair comes with a version that keeps the lifeguard symbol from the original, and one without it ('noplus.')

Download chair of life savings
Download Mise En Plates

Meshes included.

As per the request on GOS, this replaces the efbodynanny outfit with a new mesh I made that added the efbodytech heels. It has morphs and includes texture replacements for both nanny outfit colors.

Download.

I made some walls for the monthly theme over at GOS.

Credit to Pyxsis for the wall I used as a base.
I replaced the wall texture and then added patterns from Pattern-a-Day.

Swatch. Additional Preview.

Here's part 2 of my dump of unshared CC. There's still a tiny bit more to come, but I'm trying to share things in order of how "complete" they feel.

Here's a retexture of CatofEvilGenius's boatneck top. I believe the fabric overlay I used is by Trapping. I really just applied the overlay and then fiddled around to make some colors. Typically I lean on CuriousB's any color you like color actions, so I'm sure I did that here as well.

Download - mesh, preview, and swatch included.

I shared this preview on tumblr years ago to see if anyone was interested, but I didn't follow through. Rented Space did the original mesh and I slimmed down the sleeves and added bare feet. I hand painted the entire kimono, then added stockings and a pattern. Two recolors, this one and a grayish purple. Categorized as sleepwear

Download - Mesh and preview included. Not sure if it has morphs or not.

Here's a retexture of Slig's dress for female elders. Some dresses are hand painted with a pattern added, others are just maxis tweaked textures. There are a few of these I'm not really happy with, so feel even more free than usual to delete the ones you don't want.

Download - Mesh, swatch, and preview included.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! I still have some cooking to do this morning. Yesterday I put together 33 sweet potato pierogis from scratch (it took over 3 hours), and this morning I've already made chimichurri potato salad. I still need to cook the pierogies and make some gingerbread cookies.

Take care, everyone!

As the first part of my dump of CC that's been sitting around unshared, I have some tees and lips for you. I'm sharing these first because they felt the most like "complete" downloads. The next dumps will be a bit more random and have my sort of half-finished projects.
Another announcement: I think I've fixed all of the previews for my downloads that aren't actual sims. I'm not sure if it's worth fixing the actual sim downloads. If I missed a clothing/skin/etc download, please let me know! I even re-took previews that I no longer had.

(another preview)

First some tees for AF, in 12 patterns plus a white retexture (not previewed or swatched.) These are on the untucked tee mesh by HP here. The mesh is NOT included, you probably already have it. It's a popular mesh, I've done similar tees on this mesh already. I used the same base shading and alpha for these, but I think the seams might be new. Art used on the shirts is not mine, check here.

Download
swatch and previews included, not the mesh

And basically the same thing for AM, only no plain white recolor included. I think I did these first, actually, then I did the AF ones because I had more patterns I wanted to use. No mesh needed for these, they're on a base game maxis mesh. Same base texture as these tee shirts which is by fanseelamb, here. Patterns for these and the AF version are from Pattern-a-Day.

Download
swatch and preview included, no mesh needed

I've had these lips for so long that I don't remember where the actual texture came from. I might have made the lip blend myself, but probably not. If you recognize them, please let me know so I can give proper credit! I think I had always intended them for personal use, so I didn't document the credits. I did color them myself. Most shades work well on dark skins, and a few are great for males. I believe the alpha is pooklet's?

swatch and preview included

That's just Spetz, drummin' away.

Hey everyone, I'm hosting the 2017 Garden of Shadows secret santa event! You can sign up here!

Hey there! I posted a new download on GOS for the low poly theme. To be honest I've had this hair hanging out in my game for years.
It's a retexture of this hair by Sentate, blending the original textures and pooklet's textures. I used pooklet actions to make the natural colors, but they don't match exactly. I just did the basic black, brown, blond, and red. I also did pink, purple, and green unnaturals.

Download!
(mesh included)

Swatch. There are 8 retextures total and the images are from pattern-a-day and my artsy tumblr.

Mesh by digitaldollies included, along with previews and swatch.

Current Mood: calm

Since it's summer time where I am and I want to swim but haven't had much time to do so, I decided to make some swimming outfits for my sims. These are recolors of the AM Bon Voyage Swim Trunks. Bon Voyage is required. Patterns are from pattern-a-day.

I made some simple retextures of these halters by Fishie. These aren't swimwear, but I enjoyed the pun I was able to make in the title of this post. All I really did for these was add a fabric overlay, to make the tops fit in better with my game, and then do some recolors. I think I used Alfred Askew's fabric actions and CuriousB's actions and then tweaked them around. Mesh is included.

(If you'd like the PSD for this, let me know!)

These are recolors of the Seasons Pre-Order bikini. I included the seasons pre-order body shop content for convenience. The mesh is not the nicest to recolor and it tends to crunch up the textures. You'll notice this if you zoom in closely. Using bigger patterns with a white foundation seemed to help minimize this. Patterns are again from pattern-a-day.

Previews are included with the downloads.

I'm not sure if this has been done already... I've been so out of the loop with the sims community I probably missed it if it has. I made a small edit of this Amaryll dress that I've been wanting to do since I first downloaded it. I added a knitted texture (extracted from the sims 3 by Trapping, I believe), made a version with stockings, and did 4 recolors. The mesh is the original by Amaryll and it is included. I just messed around to make these colors, but I'd still like to give credit to CuriousB for the awesome color actions that I usually use.

Each color comes with and without stockings.

I have been looking ways to use the great patterns at a-pattern-a-day, so I put them on the bottoms of these cute pajamas by Plumeria. I usually have trouble working with patterns that are mostly white, but I think I figured out a good technique now. I'm pretty sure I just did the colors for the tops myself, but I may have used one of the cloth actions by Alfred Askew because I downloaded them recently. No mesh needed, this is the nude AF body mesh and the feet are bare.

Categorized as pajamas and underwear.

I really wanted to make something for men, because the amount of CC for males is just tiny compared to what we have for females. I actually made these before I made the female pajamas above, but I had so much fun with the patterns from a-pattern-a-day I wanted to keep making retextures.

These boxers are originally by nilou, but I can't seem to find them! I looked through both of their livejournals, their tumblr, and their posts on GOS but maybe the download got lost while GOS was down? If anyone knows where they are, let me know and I will add a link. The mesh is maxis; the feet are bare. The texture on the tops is totally by nilou, I just did recolors. The boxers were originally plain white and I added the patterns to them. I don't think I used any actions to make the colors, but if I did they were probably CuriousB's (linked in the first download).

I hope you enjoy these downloads!

Maybe it is still March 22 in someone’s timezone.. and for them it is still the day for the Agnes Martin google doodle! I confess that I had not heard of her before the google doodle, but I followed the google search and enjoyed looking at Agnes Martin’s paintings.

Using the images I found in my search,

I made 8 recolors of the Bella Squared painting. I also made 4 frame recolors, 3 shown above. No swatch, but there are previews in the download very clearly labeled so you can delete what you don’t want. I recommend getting the Bella Squared add-ons by CuriousB here.

Whispers made a great wall texture, so I recolored it with

curiousb 's actions and did a version with a baseboard and one without for each color. Whispers made the actual game files and uploaded them to GOS, but the post was lost while GOS was down. Whispers has provided this link to download directly.

I uploaded the set myself here on sims file share.

So, this is the dress I posted about here.
It is basically the maxis sundress molded into this mesh by serenityfall with some brand new shoes!

The shoes are made from these h&m shoes. I flattened the heel and re-did the bone assignments. They are not perfect, but they don't seem to have any major problems. I plan to retexture them into something like these.

The mesh has morphs, but apparently the maxis sundress is not as nice as I thought it was and does not animate well all the time. the bone assignments are the same though, so there wasn't much I could do.

The mesh is by me, and I completely re-did the UV map for the dress so it would work nicely with patterns. The dress was hand-painted by me with a fabric base by

trappingit and I added a pattern from web-treats. The jacket and shoes are maxis texture. Colors are based on

curiousb's. The dresses are a bit grungy, so feel free to make some brighter textures and colors with my .psd.
