Time for Bed!

Dress your Sims 3 girls in this pretty 'Time for Bed' nightdress which was published yesterday over at The Sims Resource!

I decided not to create an image for these as they looked better with a pattern on the top.  One of the patterns is non-recolourable as I created this as an overlay with the heart pattern I used on the Hearts 'n' Bows set.

I added a bow which I created with the action script I purchased from Atomic Cupcake.

Motorcar Sleepwear for Toddler Boys

I'm a little late in posting this; on Saturday, my Motorcar Sleepwear for Toddler Boys was published over at The Sims Resource.

I created the motorcar in Photoshop with shapes and added a gradient and bevel for a nice effect.  I then created some trees, clouds and a bird and popped them all together to create a 'picture':

I then created a pattern with the car and trees by hand tiling in Photoshop and used this for the parts I wanted to place a pattern on as an overlay.

Here is the finished result:

Again, I was pleased with how this turned out and had great fun making it!

I Wanna Play With Brains.......

Woohoo!! The next EP for our beloved Sims 3 game is Supernatural as I'm sure you already know by now :-)

If you want to see the recording of the live chat from The Sims 3 team, you can get that here.

And, here's the announce trailer:

I will of course be changing the options on the poll (to the right) as this one covers the 'Makin Magic' theme.  Love the idea of this and cannot wait for September when it's released. 

Cheers and Happy Simmin'!

Summer Playtime and More Action Scripts!

My new Summer Playtime set for girls is now available for download over at The Sims Resource.

I created the images for the tops with shapes and the pen tool in Photoshop and added patterns to them that I got from The Fat Strawberry.  I then placed these on as an overlay which means that these images are not recolourable although the actual tops are.

The denim shorts I created The Sims 2 way which means that these are also non-recolourable.  However, I was really pleased with how these turned out. 

I created the flowers and hearts embellishment with shapes in Photoshop and then used an embroidery action script that I purchased from Atomic Cupcake to give a nice stitch effect.  Here is one of them:

And this is what it looks like placed together:

For the buttons on the pocket, again I used an action script from Atomic Cupcake after creating the shape and colour of the button in Photoshop:

Unfortunately Atomic Cupcake is no longer trading but there are loads of action scripts you can purchase on the internet - just do a Google search!

Again, I was pleased with how this set turned out and I had a lot of fun creating it.

Rainbow Sleepwear

My Rainbow Sleepwear for Toddler Girls is now available for download over at The Sims Resource.

I created the rainbow in Photoshop using my own gradient and the polar coordinates tool, added an outer glow for a nice effect and got this:

I then added a couple of clouds using shapes, adding a gradient and outer and inner glows which gave me this final image:

Using this image (without the pink background), I hand tiled to create a seamless pattern for the clothing.  Here is the final result:

There are three recolourable parts for this sleepwear, however as the rainbow image and pattern are overlays, these cannot be recoloured.

Again, I hope you enjoy this item for your game just as much as I enjoyed making it!

Hearts 'N' Bows

My Hearts 'N' Bows outfit for girls is now available for download over at The Sims Resource.

This set comes in two parts, tops and bottoms.  I created the heart motif in Photoshop with shapes:

I then created a seamless tiled pattern out of it by hand, addding a few dots inbetween:

I then used the heart and pattern to create overlays for the clothing.  This of course means that the pattern and heart motifs are non-recolourable.

For the bow, I used an action script from Atomic Cupcake.  First I created the 'ribbon' with the heart design:

Then I popped this through the action script and got this:

I then resized this to fit the clothing and again used this as an overlay.  Here's the finished result:
