I enjoy playing TS2 and making custom items for it. I'm a huge fan of the repository technique and get furious when I see someone make 33 items (three meshes with 10 recolours each) instead of 13 items (three linked meshes with 10 recolours total). My own Bentform Collection on TSR is a good example of how far you can carry this technique, it's currently up to 40-odd meshes with 20 recolours, for the equivalent of 800+ combinations out of just 60+ files.

Naturally the other thing I like making since I like reusing textures, is Maxis-Match and Bedding-Match items, either filling in holes in existing Maxis items (love seat and armchair versions of nice sofas, for example) or carving out new territory entirely (tables and chairs to match my favorite Maxis counters).

I am currently most of the way through writing an epic story about my Sims, called the Soup Legacy. This started out as an Alphabet Challenge crossed with the University Legacy, and has since morphed into something weird and wild and a lot more fun. Rather like a multi-generational soap opera, with occult beings thrown in for seasoning. If you have a few days on your hands with nothing better to do, drop on by the TSR Community Challenge forum and give it a read. The first 9 pages are a bit dry, but then I started to really hit my stride... 60+ pages and rising steadily now, mwahahaha!

As far as my stuff goes - feel free to recolour anything that is an actual standalone mesh, all the Maxis-Match and Bedding-Match stuff you don't need to recolour, since it uses the textures of the Maxis items - so go recolour the Maxis items instead, of course!

Feel free to upload my stuff in your custom lots. I make it for people to use it, and don't see any point in restricting its use unnecessarily. Though just as a general point of principle, I am not a fan of the Exchange, and in general would prefer my things not get uploaded there.

Feel the power of the repository technique!
