The many creations of Lipsy

Lipsy's creations are so stunning that I felt they needed a section of their own. So here it is...

Some pics of gardens I did for competitions


(Top down pic)

OK!!!

Nice start, Lipseh. How cute is that last little girl?
Do I detect some Paint Shoppery?

Stunning! I'm guessing the lawn stripes in the overhead pic were done with some terrain stencilling?

EDIT: Following a discussion they weren't. Meh. But they are teh awesomeness! I split this topic as I think gardens could go in a separate topic for now. I am pleased to award you with a shiny ribbon thing! Yayness!

She be very cute! And yes, just a smidge of Paint Shoppery!!

Here be Duncan Rose...my new love! Caboose isn't jealous at all *cough cough* even when I was playing an entirely different family and dropped everything when Duncan came to visit to have a little photo shoot with him looking so sweet!! lol

... And here it is!
Shiny Ribbon Thing Award

A house I've been working on for a competition on another forum:

It had to be a modern design and it could only be made from wood, stone and stucco, and it couldn't have a Maxis roof. There was a full list of requirements, including the number and type of rooms, and that it must have a double height lounge.



Click here for the rest of the pictures...

My description of the house: "Clad in a combination of stunning white marble and timber, this house is built across three levels, and features a sunken lounge area with double height ceiling. The kitchen leads down into the dining area, which has an internal window looking into the internal swimming pool. A small patio to the rear of the property is accessed from the dining area and houses a small area of planting and ornamental rocks. It also has space for a table (for your al fresco needs!) There is a downstairs bathroom decorated with banana stucco, and also a simply decorated and functional garage.

Up the stairs to the second floor, the balconied landing overlooks the sunken lounge below, and leads to the guest bedroom and a study both panelled in wood, and the master suite.

The master suite is decorated with a striking red stucco, the red theme is continued with the accessories and bedding. There is an en suite and a dressing room.

The roof has a number of skylights and combined with the numerous double height windows, this house is flooded with light."

I really enjoyed making it!

Ooh! Loved the slide show - and much custom content there too! Now you gotta show me how to do a roof with a skylight! Is there much boolproppery involved?

boolpropy is realy cool, but its a pain in the bum to learn how to use, i only know how to use it to edit a sims Job and add new family members

I don't use it for either of those things - I tend to build more than anything.

It's not too hard once you get the hang of it but I found I had to devote a lot of time to getting the hang of it!

Haven't forgotten the tutorials - will post them soon. Honest.

No rush Cyber, i will be a bit pre occupied these next few days with some cool DVDs i just bought thundercats

Your secret's safe with me!

thanks cyber
the DVD seems to br taking a while to get here though, thats the only bad thing with internet shopping and thats the waiting

and just seen the rest of the pics to the house and its stunning , i wishi had the attention span to acctulay sit down and stick to something like that

I'm sure I replied to this already, with links to some great tutorials and everything...but it's not here!

Meh oh well, I'll repost later (I'm at work and making illegal use of Government Internet!) LMAO

Short answer - boolproppery is involved, but if you have some patience it's not that tricky

's funny you should say that - one or more of my posts disappeared on Wednesday night, but Firefox had to restart itself so maybe there was a problem with the Editboard server or something... I certainly haven't deleted any posts by anyone here.

Hmmmm...strangeness!

OK, tutorials:

These are all great , really simple to follow and with very good images!

Happy building

Thanks, Lipseh. I already knew how to attach a garage to a house with foundation but the others I can play around with.

Getting better with boolprop now - I made my first arched bridge today!

Yeeees I passed you a tute for it! I added it again for anyone else who might find it useful.

Oh, yeah - we have users now! Still can't quite get used to that.
Have fun with custom roof tops Lipseh - don't forget to show us what you've been up to...

Btw, I liked your smiley so much I pinched it!

Wow i need to get my building skills upto par! That house is amazing! And the custom content is really good! Must find some for my house! :p

EDIT: Me want that house muchly!

Ok, I'm happy to admit to being addicted to creating Sims...I even have a babies name dictionary by my computer to aid with naming said creations!!

Unfortunately I've 'forgotten' some of their names at the present time (created them, moved them in, took some pics and haven't been by to visit them since!!)

This is Luc


He adopted a stray cat...


Happy cat!!


Can't remember her name, but she has cool sunglasses!


I was trying to make a doll-like Sim, it kind've worked!


Duncan walked randomly past someone elses house, so I had to take a few pics of him!!


I don't tend to create many blondes, so this was my attempt at a girl next door type!


This is Gracious, a slightly mean blonde!


Made this Sim two nights ago, using another one of Enayla's skins, they're so pretty!


Slightly Goth, made a couple of nights ago because I wanted to use a recolour of a recent XM Sims hair I found on MTS2!


I LOVE Seasons...rainy day picture!


Trying out another new hair, I think this one came with Seasons...but then again it might be one of my mountain of CC hairs!!


Pale and pretty but not a vampire, I thought she looked slightly french so she has a slightly french name that I can't quite remember...I think it might be Emalie!

Awww... how happy is that cat?

I'm sure I've seen one of your Sims on Hollyoaks. She looks like Jessica Fox!

I've entered another competition over at the Reflex Sims forum, you had to create an Idyllic tropical island following the list of requirements given.

Two evenings later...here is my Idyllic Island (chock full of lots of lovely CC!!)
