Livin-It-Up (http://www.livin-it-up.net) Update 03-08-03

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz,
I wonder where the birdies is.
The little bird is on the wing,
But that’s absurd...
The little wing is on the bird

Okay, truthfully we haven’t any grass growing yet in my neck of the woods, and the only birdsong I hear is resonating in the empty space between my ears but, the staff here at LIU does have a bad case of spring fever and to celebrate we’re having an awesome Spring Fling Landscape Design contest! Think you can design the perfect outdoor environment for Sims? If you have a special gift for Simscaping and think you know what it takes to create the perfect park or botanical garden we want to hear from you! We’re even offering first, second, and third place subscription prizes! You can check out the rules and regs here (http://www.livin-it-up.net/contest)!

What do you need to create that perfect landscape? Plants, of course…and we’ve got ’em! Froggluver, Pegalu, Ohmikeghod, Cravze, and Java Mama went a little landscape crazy and designed dozens of flowers, shrubs, trees and lights. It’s a virtual plant extravaganza this time around and it’s all for you!

Room dividers, walls and rugs... oh my! I know, it’s a cheap opener, but it does accurately describe many of the goodies we have for you. Cravze and Ohmikeghod get credit for making fabulous Celtic, contemporary, traditional and modern rugs. Ohmikeghod offers up his latest automotive creation, a Ferrari, as well as a half dozen room dividers in springy pastel shades. Cravze continues his Audubon bird study series with seven new bird paintings, as well as ship sketches, gorgeous and tasteful studies of women and a couple of Native American wall hangings.

Northerkat, Froggluver, and Cravze designed 100 new walls this time, and just in time for your Sims spring spruce-up. There really is a little something for everyone, and you’ll even find a few floors by Cravze and Froggluver to match! Our little Froggy was truly inspired and even designed a few roofs, just in case you needed, or wanted, a bit more variety!

Looking for a new downtown shop? Check out the awesome new shoe store Blue Jeans created! The set includes cool displays, accessories, seating, wall hangings, windows, walls, floors, and a brand new NPC counter person to run the place! Special thanks again to Lisa Anne of PickleSims (http://www.picklesims.com) for generously providing her time and talent to our new NPC’s.

Our skins section is also experiencing phenomenal growth this time around with Crystal Dreamers new Rubenesque skin series. These skins are dynamite and there are 50 of them to enchant and delight! (I know, that was really bad, but what can you do?) Slim has added 5 hot new skins to the mix, including one he calls his Gothic Voodoo Babe. They are all awesome! Where else can you find so many skins in a single update?

Most of you know that we update every other Saturday night between 7:00pm and 9:00pm but did you know that you can chat with members of the staff on update nights too? It’s an opportunity for you to tell your favorite creator what you like, ask questions about object, wall/floor, and skin design, or just hang out and have some fun! Just click on chat (http://www.livin-it-up.net/talk/chat/). Sign in and we’ll see you there!

Speaking of talking and having fun, have you been to our forum (http://www.livin-it-up.net/forum/) lately? It’s a riot! Here are the highlights from the last two weeks:

"Well, you have taken my legs... what else ya want?"

"We're going to run out of frogg parts if we keep up at this rate."

"Brains are a requirement at LIU. They’re delicious on toast!"

It’s a hoot, and we hope to see you there!

Well, that just about covers all of the goings on this time around, so I’ll bring this to a close. Have a great couple of weeks, and 'til next time don’t forget about entering our contest (http://www.livin-it-up.net/contest) and...Happy Simming!
