I'm Izza, known on GOS, BPS, S2S and MTS as CuteLilDeadGirl.  Welcome to my simming journal!  If you like my stuff, please do comment.  I don't bite and I genuinely love hearing from my readers. 

For those who are curious, I live in Australia, not too far from Melbourne.  I enjoy the company of four cats; Darcie, Alice, Alvin and Abby and a very hyperactive yellow labrador named Ziggy.  I also greatly enjoy the constant company of my best friend of 14 years and the official love of my life, Ben.  Though it may sometimes seem like simming is all I do, it's far from the truth.  I read constantly (and it's rarely pulp or anything seen on a bestseller list), I write almost as frequently (I've even been published in the past), I design and make accessories for myself and my friends and I love dancing, singing, movies, cooking and good conversation!  I hate television and almost never watch it.  I also hate talking on the phone.  Seriously.

Feel free to friend me if you like, but please don't be offended if I don't friend you back or failing that, later delete you if you never comment my journal.

Note on broken and missing pictures and images: Due to Imageshack now charging a fee for hosting more than 500 pictures, they are (or will be very soon) deleting all but 500 of my pictures.  I can't afford a paid picture hosting account and I'm not paying for something I've had for free until now.  There will be missing and broken images on this site until I can find alternative arrangements for the thousands of simming pictures I already have uploaded.  Please be patient.  All missing pictures will be re-uploaded in time.  Pictures attached to actual downloads will take priority.  If you notice an entry with missing pictures, please private message me with the URL of the entry and I will give replacement of those pictures a priority.

Note on anonymous comments and comment screening: Anonymous comments have been disabled due to increase in bots (again!)  I'm so very sorry to my readers who aren't registered LJ users, but it has become impossible to weed through the bot comments. Yup.  I don't like having to do it, but ridiculous bots are ridiculous and relentless.  Due to increasing spam I have also had to screen comments from unfriended LJ users.  If you're not spamming me, you have nothing to worry about and your questions/comments will be unscreened as soon as I log in/read them.

Note on contacting me outside of Livejournal: If you'd like to friend me on Facebook, be my guest.  However, I would recommend shooting me a message telling me who you are if you'd like to be added back.

The passing of a friend is never easy.  Certainly I couldn't keep my eyes dry when I got up to read simsecret on Saturday morning and saw a message first up on my friends list (and with me, as probably with many of you who interacted with and cared about her, there was no interest on clicking on the simsecret link for this week). 

6akalaka1 aka Rosie was always lovely and kind to me, and to many of us in the simming community.  I would like to take a moment to say that she will be truly missed as a friend as well as a simmer.

My deepest condolences and sympathies to her family at this extremely difficult time.

( ... a side note... )

I just received my Secret Santa gift from sly_doubt and you can go check out the amazing things I got and download them here!

Also, stay tuned... I will be posting my own gifts up here presently....

I've just sent off my gifts.  Nervous anticipation, anyone?

I finished my gifts!  They're even packaged and waiting for me to upload them...

However, I thought I'd never get them finished in time, what with kidney infections flaring up, emergency room visits and having to spend a great deal of time "enjoying" complete bed rest.

I only finished the actual creating/testing/previewing about 12 hours ago and yet I can't wait to be allowed to send them.

I really, really hope my Santee likes what I made....

.... isn't it time yet???

Woohoo!  Inbox message telling me who to make things for!  I'm full of ideas and very excited and starting work in... uhh... about two seconds...

Woot - the Secret Santa thread at GOS is up!  I just signed up (first time I've actually participated in the Christmastime version!)  Very excited to get creating for whichever giftee I'm assigned.  Yay!

On an unrelated note, stay tuned for a Fennell Legacy update in the next few days...

Here are my best finds for today:

Dedital Sheep Bower's "Rabbitear", "Sheepear", "Catear", "Cathat", "Fur CatHat", "Ribbon Hat", "Beret Hat", "Crown" and "Catheaddress"
Needlecream's "Hershey"
Needlecream's "Neena Dresses With Sexyfeet"
Needlecream's "Neena & Sentate Outfit" and "University Outfit Retexture"
Needlecream's "Skirt & Tee"
Needlecream's "Snowlizard Blend"
Needlecream's "Genensims Skin Blends"
Needlecream's "Anva Blends"
Tranquilized's "Plum Set"

.... also, an update of The Frost Legacy is coming, most likely in the next 24 hours, but at the very worst, it will be posted on Monday... stay tuned...

Attention

If you were one of the wonderful simmers who allowed me to use one of their sims' faces for my default replacement face templates last year, this message is for you.

A few days before the templates were released, I sent out download links to gifts I'd made for you as thanks for allowing me to use your sims for my project.

Some of these have still not been collected/downloaded.  I figure it's been long enough for you to have downloaded your gifts by now.  Therefore, if you haven't done so already, I recommend going to download your gift.  If you didn't get your download link originally, please contact me as soon as possible and I will send you your download link again.

Any gifts not claimed within 7 days of this post will be taken down and reclaimed by me.

Edit: Gifts have now been taken down with exception to the one I said I'd leave up.
