Hi,

Some people may recognize my name or maybe as Pacifichawk. I have been around the Sim community for a while now. Sometimes life sucks me back in and I disappear for a while but my Sims always drag me back. I enjoy creating Sims the most - I try playing but tend to get distracted by creating yet another Sim. Go figure.

Anyway, I will hopefully upload a couple Sims in the next couple days. I have never used a pose player or done any 'model' type pics for my Sim uploads so bear with me while I learn. I use to upload to TSR and still do upload to the EA exchange but really like how Sims are presented on private sites such as this which is what drew me here.

If anyone is interested in my older works on TSR, my link is:

And, my Exchange link is: http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/pdxwinn/mystudio
Feel free to 'friend' me on EA.

My first couple uploads will probably be a couple of my favorite Sims I've made but presented in the manner I've always wanted to see them done and uploaded.

And, not like it matters but I am always questioned as to my gender. . . . . maybe because I usually use female avatars on my EA account. I am a male - and no, not gay. LOL! I tend to use female avatars because I like to use my Sims I upload as my avatars and I tend to create female Sims the most.

Hi pdxwinn, welcome to Cstyles !! It's good to see you on here !!
I also used to upload to the exchange and TSR, but because of various reasons I don't do that anymore. I only upload my simmehs on my blog and on Cstyles these days.
Looking forward to seeing your creations on Cstyles as well !!

Hello and Welcome to Cstyles!! I viewed your sims on tsr...very nice and I've already picked out my fav's! I couldn't view the ones on the sims forum because the site is down, but I will as soon as I can and will 'try' to remember to friend you!

Take your time learning the pose player...once you get the hang of it you will wonder why you haven't tried it before!! No more trying to catch a certain pose or certain glance! I love it!

You can present your sims anyway you want to...just a 'nice' presentation...you know...neat is all I ask for. Put your personality with it if you want...makes it more awesome viewing your pics. And we LOVE pic spam so no real limits on the amount of pics you post!!

Any who...back to your welcome...WELCOME!!

Also....great seeing more males participating here!! Makes the site feel more complete now!

Thank you both. :D

I actually spent quite a bit of time today reorganizing my CC and mods, copying links and getting organized. I thought I was organized before - apparently not. LOL! I want to be able to list whatever I use but I am needing to refind links and such.

Thank you cecesaun1 for the compliment on my Sims. I spend a great deal of time trying to make them as realistic as possible. I hate downloading Sims because they look fantastic in their pics only to find they look horrible in game. Mine look in game the same as they do in pics. . . . . . . except, of course, if the skins are different then you have.

Welcome to Cstyles!! It's really nice to see that more males are joining the site. I too posted a couple of sims on the exchange, but mainly post here.

The pose player and picture taking is alot of trial and error, but when you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty easy. There are alot of very helpful members on here if you have any questions or need help with anything.

Once again, Welcome and I hope you enjoy yourself here!

Thank you Katink - if I can upload and present sims as beautiful as yours are, I'll be a happy kid. Your sims are (IMO) some of the best I've seen.

Oh my gosh....thank you very much! You seriously just made my day! I saw some of your sims on TSR and they are really beautiful and very well made. Like Cece, I picked out some favorites(Shasta) ;) I was a complete noob when I joined Cstyles, but I really learned alot about presentation and picture taking from Eva and SellaSu. They are really amazing!

Yeah, there is a reason I came here. I was impressed with the creators here the most of any of the sites I've seen. There is a lot of talent here. I came here to learn just as much as I came to share.

Welcome to Cstyles !!!! I send you a friendrequest on EA i am astroparagnoste, took a look in your studio only one thing to say Love your sims, You make too much beautiful sims for EA they look very realistic !!!!

Hope you will be aible to post them on Cstyles !!!!!

Thank you Sellusa, I appreciate that a lot - both the friend request and the compliment. :D

Hello pdxwinn, A big warm welcome to cstyles While I was checking out your gorgeous sim ladies on EA I sent you a friend request. I do hope that you accept. I think your sims are really beautiful you can tell a good creator when there sims still look fantastic with the deafault ea pic. I can only imagine how great they will look once you present them the way you want to here on cstyles. I to upload to EA exchange but not as often as I used to mainly because now I am to preoccupied here at cstyles. Anyways enough blabber from me lol!! Really looking forward to seeing your posts here!

Hi Ice1,
Thank you for the compliment and the friend request. I'll add you next time I'm in game; for some reason I haven't been able to accept friend requests unless I'm in game for quite some time now. :S

I love your quote from Mark Houlahan. I stole it and posted it to my Facebook page.
