Lot tour: The Claudette

A little while back, there was a project at N99 where we made and fulfilled requests. At the time, I'd just realised that The Claudette, Adam Gottlieb's restaurant, was from the Exchange and now that it was closed, I had no hope of getting it back for Sullivan 2.0. So I asked if anyone would be willing to build a new version of The Claudette for me, with the same sort of style as the old one. I specified that I'd decorate the interior myself, so I wasn't too fussed about what it looked like inside. The lovely Tanja (blogger for SimsVille and now Linfort) took me up on it and built me a fantastic new restaurant. I excitedly downloaded it and then it sat in my hood for...probably two years?

But I was hit by some inspiration this weekend and finally decided to decorate it.


Tanja did an awesome job recreating the exterior (the original is here) and I changed very little. I just moved the phone outside and changed the wallpaper and some of the tiling. Although, looking at the original wallpaper, I might change it again.

New blog!

No, I'm not abandoning Sullivan (Dominic and Leslie's update is in the pipeline!) but I have started a new side blog, which might be of interest to some of you.

It's called Strike a Sim Pose and it is intended as a posebox catalog and hopefully, general posing resource. It's a very old project I started a good while ago but I never really figured out exactly how I wanted it to look or function. Finally, I do.

There are a couple of posebox catalogs out there but the I'm not sure if they're still active at all. Also, I've always preferred for my posebox pics to be totally uniform and as simple as possible, so I started taking my own. Seeing I was already doing it, I thought why not share?

Most posts will feature a pose box and pictures of each of the poses it contains. There are explanatory notes about various OMSPs and the stretchskeleton cheat, if necessary. I also plan to put up my posing tutorial from here, along with a couple of other posts on posing tips and tricks.

So if this seems like something you might be interested in, go and check it out! I'm not expecting the posing blog to be quite as interactive as here but if you do have any comments or questions, feel free to post them. I'm always happy to answer when I get the chance. Happy posing!
