Now don't you guys go thinking I'm just longing about the whole time!  Okay, well maybe a bit but you have to catch the sun while you can here you know!! 

So I have finished Simon & Violet's house (The Ark).  Pop on over to The Ladon's page to see a few pics.

I also finished this:


This is called The Party Boat (name inspired by IvyEC)


It is basically an odd shaped house!



I have used CC received from dowloads by Tanitas8 Lady Venera Site

so have not put up for dowload.  If anyone wants the house let me know and I will put up a non CC version x



Right.  Off to craete a house for my lovely Oscar & Lilly :D

Hugs!! xox

New builds in Gen 6 land

I thought you might like to see what I've been working on in the new Ladon world!

I built a basic starter home, just a small cheap house with the essentials added!


It is 1 bed, 1 bath and size is 15 x 10
Furnished price - 10,252
Unfurnished price - 8.527

I am now working on Simon and Violet's home.  Simon's Lifetime Wish is The Ark Builder and Violet's is Master of the Arts so I am trying to design a house to suit their needs!


It is quite a large house!! 


The garden has been designed for Simon to collect his animals.  He will need 2 of everything to complete his lifetime wish.


The house is pretty much a shell at the moment but will eventually be tailoured to suit Violet's arts needs and Simon's animal needs.


I wonder if you can get an animal babysitter?!

I have finally finished my 1st proper house!!!  Squee!!!



It is now available for download both furnished & non-furnished.

I managed to keep it all EA too (although there may be the odd store/ep/sp stuff in there) but still no CC!!!

I hope you enjoy!!

Hey!  It's always good to get Monday out the way isn't it :)

So, as those of you that have been following Tru Sims on FB know I have had a few problems with my game of late which involved a complete re-install.  This also left me with a corrupt and very glitchy save file for the Ladons.

Not wanting to risk losing everything I decided to move the Ladon's to a new world and start a nice fresh save file.  I did, however get a little carried away and have started from scratch with a blank world!!


So here is an update on just how that is progressing and a little look into some of the amazing talents that I have called upon to make my little Ladon world just the way I want it!!

I have added a link to the pictures which will take you to the site the items came from.  A big thank you to all those people who's creations I have used xox

SimLau Isles Lite - My Sim Realty

Of course, the first thing I needed was an empty world.  I did a lot of searching for this and although I did find many beautiful worlds, it took me a while to settle on one.
The world I used is called SimLau Isles Lite and can be downloaded at My Sim Realty.


Cambridge Baseball Park - My Sim Realty

Next I added community lots.  Most of these I was able to use EA standard but had some trouble finding space for the very large EA stadium!  Not wanting to forfit the Athletic career, I headed once again for Google and, once again, ended up at the most excellent My Sim Realty site!!  Here I found a lovely collection of community lots and rabbitholes as well as the awesome baseball diamond rabbithole (pic above) which is only a 40 x 30 lot size but works the same as the Stadium!


The Busch Gardens - My Sim Realty

And so.  With my community lots all in place it was time to find some residential lots for my simmies to make their homes.  As much as I want to build some of the houses, there is no way I can build a whole town's worth!



 The Pumpkin Patch - Pyliathesunelf 


Here are just a few of the wonderful houses I used.  I did tend to stick with the same builders so make sure to browse their work!

 Modern Celebrity Home - The Sims 3 Downloadable Homes 

Family Beach House - SabrinaDownhill
Luna light house - Melaschroeder @ Akisima


Townhouse Sea Breeze - Tanitas8 @ Lady Venera
Life Tree - Tanitas8 @ Lady Venera
After spending hours downloading and placing my findings it was time to try my hand at building something myself!


After some basic community lot landscaping I started small with this beach performance area.


I am now working on this, my very first house that does not resemble a giant cube!  This is the Mountain Retreat and I will be uploading it once complete!

Now I had best get on with this little project or it wont be ready for Generation 6!!

Happy Simming Sweeties!!!
