This tree comes in 6 different color variations.

Yelby Fruity Reindeer Toy


Kind of December blog?

@ . Filed under General.

Well,

Perhaps late to now start the blogging,  but I usually do not have anything to blog about.

Until December 9th 2009.

What happened?

Well I finally had a breakthrough in Sims 3 Custom item designing.

Since The Sims 3 was out I already doubted if it was still easy enough to create custom content, really custom instead of the create-a-style tool.

Well, let say that I finally figured out the Sims Workshop from The Sims Resource website, well “figured out” is a big word, but I at least managed to get my first self created item in the game! WooT!

and now I’m on the rebound! I have found the taste for custom creating again, the taste I had lost when sims 3 arrived.

I still need to learn a lot and do several test items and follow tutorials before I master the skill again, but let me tell ya this:  Sims Community, DeKDeS and thereby DMS2c.com is about to re-enter the world of custom designs! its a matter of time.

EDIT: Making progress!

The Oddball Showcase !

@ . Filed under Oddball Showcase. Tags: , ,

Hi, as you might know I’ve released a basic model for the spore creature editor called the Oddball.

From this base model people can create oddballs, the only rule is to leave at least the name oddball in the tags and or dms2c, sporenetwork, for me to be able to find the oddballs quickly.

This list which I will update regularly will be about the oddballs I’ve personally made myself up to now.

enjoy:

Nederland (The Netherlands) Creature showcase

@ . Filed under Spore creatures showcase.

Ea comes with the spore around the world, well I had already got some typical dutch creatures out there, but I’ve made 2 more today, namely the beer bottle and the “loeki de leeuw” (Loekie The lion, this was on tv in the old days during commercials, sort of mascot, like the German television has got the little elephant and the big orange mouse)

Here are the 2 typical dutch creatures I already got on sporepedia for some while:

The windmill:

Hi There

@ . Filed under SNW. Tags: ,

First of all, my thanks for the honor to join the SNW team.

I’m not such a blogger in the trend of posting my daily stuff like witting a diary .

Life through the weeks is much the same, I get up early in the morning and work from 06:00 AM till 15:00 PM from Monday till Thursday, and on Friday from 06:00 AM till 13:45 PM, so my weekends always start early ;)

As a profession? well I’m (still) a temporary employee for a logistics company that does inbound and outbound for material for all the Ikea stores in the Benelux. I have the main task there to clean and sort out returned pallets. When things are quiet I also help out keeping the place clean and so on.

Its not a job that you need a big brain for, though I do not claim I’m brainless :) I’ve done work before that really needed to keep a clear head, but I enjoy my job, fun co workers, good atmosphere and not to hard work and a it pays well, even for a temporary employee, I cannot say how much my wage is, I’m still a “Hollander” (dutchman) and they do not discuss what they earn :P

But lets say if my girlfriend wanted a Nintendo Wii and some games with it, we could go buy it, oh we did actually ;)

Never thought I could really sweat while playing a game… but its awesome ;) I WANT spore on wii! so i could probably whack some creatures into outer space XD

Well anyway, all is going fine, got a spore creature into the most populare list today *yay me*

here is a video of it: Thumbs Up to All

Well its getting too late now, got to go to bed, its an early morning again!
Till we bloggggg again ;)

Martin.
