6) Has the way you create changed since being Featured at TSR?

Not really, but I have after all this time become more and more picky and give more attention to detail when recoloring and therefore some items take longer to make. As I'm also the Artist Manager for all non FA artists, I have a bit less time for creating.

7) What advice would you give to newcomers to the TS2 Modding/Creating scene?

Start simple. I began with Lot building and after a few months I tried homecrafter and wall making. Then object recoloring. It's a good idea also to take your time when learning as you will appreciate it later on.

'm really happy I found TSR and thanks to the friendly community and the staff I stayed. Thanks especially to Thomas, Per and Tug but I also want to say a thank you to the rest of the staff. I want to thank all of my downloader's, for the nice feedback and encouragement I get. Happy simming from me.

 All of her downloaders? That would be? Her?

I also take care of almost all the material we use during surgery and make orders when needed. I live on my own in the Venice of the North, Stockholm, Sweden

That made me laugh alot.
Thanks because I really need it right now.

I didn't bother reading the whole interview.
I skimmed through it a bit.
I never bothered reading the tsr newsletters.
I don't particularly like newsletters.
Unless it's filled with juicy gossip.
PMBD should send out a gossip/lastest-drama-whore newsletter.
lol

2) How long have you been a TSR Featured Artist, and what bought you to TSR in the first place?

Each month we interview a TSR Featured Artist or Staff Member. This month we talk to a-twat.

1) Who are you? Tell us a little about yourself. (we know your favorite subject is YOU)

I'm pretending to be a nurse, working in the operating theatre at a big hospital, It sounds important, and its imporatant to me to sound important... of course If I really worked as a theatre nurse, all my patients would be dead by now, as I spend all my time on their computer posting on the TSR forum, sending gossip around the community and spying on people, I also have time to post death threats in peoples guestbooks and stalk my littlehero thomas. I dont have the time to deal with patients or do any of the stuff I pretend to do at work.  I live on my own in the Venice of the North, Stockholm, Sweden I have no husband, no boyfriend, no friends, and I dont do housework. so I have a lot of time for my hobby, which is paid for by other people. I'm also the Artist Manager

2) How long have you been a TSR Featured Artist, and what bought you to TSR in the first place? (and when are you going?)

I have been a Featured Artist since 28th Dec 2006, after I had rigged the ratings and caused a war on TSR. they had no choice but to make me a political FA, because I gave them the impressession my friends would walk out if they didnt. Also as I dont get many downloads, I was a cheap option. I had the opportunity to visit TSR HQ after I bugged the shit out of thomas until he let me..and I've not stopped talking about it since.
 I had never stumbled upon TSR but a lot of other simsites and I found it because one of my favorite creators closed her site and moved here. I have since informed thomas of her telling me the secret pay for FA's.. she's no longer with TSR.... I liked the site very much and signed up at once. That was in December 2003. and I've been filling your folders with shit ever since. I'm also the Artist Manager

3) What  do you primarily create for the game and its community? (a polite way of asking what the fuck is that?)

Recolors of maxis owned objects, not so much lot building these days as it takes longer than 3 minutes, but I would like to build more if I can get someone to build it for me, and I also make ethnic clothing that suit my own neighborhood, (screw what other people want - we're talking about ME here!) . I have started with meshing, but for me it has been a slow process as you just cant steal any good meshes these days. I have had a computer that couldn't handle the game or programs so well for a long time. which is what I still use for an excuse despite showing pics of my new computer on my profile  I also try to look around what members desire and want, so I dont make the mistake of making that stuff.  and I have a few different styles from Art Deco to Egyptian, a theme I have gone onto overkill on. I'm also in the Texture Challenge which is a very inspiring thread in the forum. it means I get someone else to find the texture, I copy and paste it on some one elses mesh and I get paid. makes my work easier. I'm also the Artist Manager

4) When creating new content, where do you draw ideas and inspiration from? (where the fuck do you get those stupid ideas? I mean.. an egyptian photo booth and phone?? WTF?)

I look at other peoples work and try to uglyise it. Doing a Google search is always handy and I do find a lot of inspiration on just a random search. on other peoples profiles. I'm also the Artist Manager

5) Typically, how long does it take you create new content? (what do I really pay you for)

Of course this depends on what it is, but from as little as 5 minutes to several minutes if it's a big set. The meshes I have done, took a couple of hours to make but they where quite simple. (a rock) I'm also the Artist Manager.
 

6) Has the way you create changed since being Featured at TSR? (or have you always thought of yourself as the TSR owner?)

Totally, I no longer have to try, because I'm paid anyway for my spy work . As I'm also the Artist Manager for all non FA artists, (yes I really had to mention that AGAIN for those that didnt see my blog, forum, sig,site or read the mails and PM's I sent out . I have a bit less time for creating due to the spy work and gossiping and the time it take me reminding everyone that I'm also the Artist Manager

7) What advice would you give to newcomers to the TS2 Modding/Creating scene? to deter them from pissing on your parade?

Dont even try to create anything, if it looks better than mine  which it's bound to, - your out on your ass.  because I'm also the Artist Manager.

8) How long have you been playing The Sims games and what do you enjoy about them most? (ever thought of going back to playing and saving us on the eye bleach?)

I got ill with a VD infection in October 2003 and was home from work for a month, so to have something to do I put the game in the drive and tried it and have been hooked since then. Up until I still could play the game in July 2006 I really enjoyed it and every night I played my favorite families before creating. I still can be surprised by some actions my Sims do and with Pets finally installed I'm enjoying the first puppies born in the game. which I put into the swimming pool. I wasn't able to play the game for over 6 months and I have now unfortunately not the same urge to play it so often, as thomas wont pay me for playing the sims or drowning my puppies.

Thank you for taking part in this interview for the TSR Newsletter, Any parting comments you would like to add? (as the most dislikedFA ever)

I'm really happy I found TSR and that I am the Artist Manager. and thanks to the friendly community and the staff payroll, I stayed. Thanks especially to Thomas, (who's wife I called ugly after meeting her at Thomas's place) Per (who's apartment I showed the whole community via a for sale link and I showed them the sale price too) and Tug  (who I bitch about behind her back because she didn't like me taking over her forum - which is actually MY forum ) but I also want to say a thank you to the rest of the staff (who I claim I have to do their work because they are lazy).
I want to thank both of my downloader's, for the nice feedback and encouragement I get in exchange for kudos  Happy simming from me.. and how much do I get paid for this interview?

3) What do you primarily create for the game and its community? (a polite way of asking what the fuck is that?)

But when I saw Captain's post I decided to go back and read it to see at what he was laughing

I had to agree the 'unedited' one is better,the newsletter's is kinda too formal(I mean,who would talk in such a manner?The Queen of England maybe?)

Heheheheh...

Damn I missed that exiting issue! (*yawns*) I did get the newsletter and I stored it in it's usual place without reading it, unfortunatly I have now emptied the recyle bin, so its gone!  :D

here's the origional before thomas edited it to make it sound better.

omg... Atwa lives too close to me...  :cry:
 

Wut, are you Swedish?

No, still Danish. But these days it's like you take the train one stop too far and you'll end up in Stockholm.

Haha! But there's gotta be orgies.

And you have to start naming your files randomly, so that no one knows what they are....like...

shag me silly baby

my dog earns more than you

ride me noir cowboy

red suits me


(Game: pick out the real OHJ name, win a prize)

Which means that I could sit next to her on the subway one of these days... Maybe I already have?

I read that interview through twice, and was sorely disappointed to see there were no blowjob tips.  :(

That's it, I'm cancelling my subscription.  :x

Well, I would if I had one...  :twisted:
