Meet the Artists
Natural Sims is proud to have an excellent and diverse group of artists and staff. Needless to say, they are the backbone of Natural Sims, each of them working hard every day to make things run smoothly and to bring you the custom content you crave. Have a read below to satisfy your curiosity. Please also note each artist's redistribution and recolor policy. You can contact any member of the team via the forum. :)
Callisto
I am a mom of two adult sons, one teenage son, and one teen daughter. I have a wonderful man in my life, who inspires me and keeps me going when life gets overwhelming, which, sadly, is often. I am owned by eight cats, one dog, and my children - they think! My friends and family are everything to me! I am usually to be found in front of my computer, either at Hogwarts, or playing or creating for Sims 2. Oh, and I am a witch. I do not mean that I am nasty-tempered, although that is also been known to happen on occasion. I mean I practice witchcraft. It keeps me centered and balanced. It also empowers me, which is something women in my country need more of, usually. It also means that I care about the Earth, her children, both human and non, and am aware that actions have consequences, so I try to make mine good.

My Redistribution Policy: Enjoy my creations! Just do not call them your own, because stealing isn't nice, and it creates bad karma. Play with them, share them, add them to your lots. Credit is always appreciated. Pics and/or links with what you've done with them would be incredible. But do not charge for anything you use my creations for. My creations can't go into anything that anyone makes money on. (I don't have an opinion on the pay vs. free debate, by the way. If someone wants to charge, and someone else wants to pay, that's their business. I have subscribed to Sims 2 sites, and will again. But MY work will remain free. That's my choice!)Meshes - Now that I've started meshing, I better add this - please do not include my meshes with your recolors, but link back to naturalsims.com for the mesh. Thanks.

I am a college student, a mom, a wife, a chauffeur, a cook, a mediator, a discipliner, a maid, and an all around warm-hearted woman. I've been playing the Sims 1 and 2 since they were released, and became a regular contributor to another major fan site in February 2007 and became a Select Artist a few short months later and resigned from that post just recently. 
My Policy
I make walls and floors, lots, and recolors. Feel free to use my walls and floors anywhere you may wish. You need not credit me if you upload lots (although it would be kindly appreciated.) Do not re-upload any of my Lots or my Recolors - and especially do not claim them as your own! That's just mean!! I retain the right to remove any of my custom content at any time. If and when the time comes and I begin meshing, you may create recolors but must always direct others to my meshes at this site. Please do not include them in your package files.

I have been creating custom content for The Sims & The Sims 2 for several years. I got my start on a popular Sims site where I am a (now retired) Select Artist. You can also find my custom content on MTS2, Simaholics R US, & Luina Sims. I am honored to be a part of such a diverse & generous gaming community - The Sims, of course! It's been an enormous pleasure meeting so many kind-hearted people. I hope you enjoy your visit here!
My Policy
I am a free spirit and my personal policy reflects that. I allow the editing/recoloring of my custom creations. You may recolor my files and post them on any site you are affiliated with. This includes free and subscription sites, so long as proper credit is given. You may include my meshes with your recolors for free only. You may use my CC for custom Sims, movies, lots, and screenshots. All I ask in return for all of the above is a link back to the Natural Sims website, especially in the case of redistributing my meshes. (meshes are sometimes updated with the release of new expansion packs or to allow easy modification, please link back to the original file(s) so these updates can be easily found -- Thanks!) Note: all of my creations are marked as such with "EG54" in the file name.
Frito
I am married with two kids. I love to read and my favorite author is Dean Koontz. Other games I like to play are Command and Conquer, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Maple Story and hopefully sometime soon I will be playing Sim City Societies and Spore. I like to create homes for The Sims 2, I have many lots up on MTS2. 
My Policy
Please do no reupload my lots to other sites or the official exchange. Thank you!
KatCat
I bought The Sims (1) just after it was released because there were no RPG games out at the time and I was bored. I've been hooked on The Sims ever since. When The Sims 2 was released, I was thrilled. I started playing around with the build tools and a new creator was born. In September of 2006 I started building and submitting lots. In July of 2007 I began recoloring objects. A month or two later I started recoloring custom meshes. In April of this year (2008) I attempted to mesh objects. It is still an ongoing process. 
My Policy
Please, do not upload any of my creations to any other website or claim them as your own.
Kitty
Meow! I am Kitty and I like creating mostly rooms, but I like nurseries the best. When I play sims I have family sims and they usually always have kids. I also like going from generation to generation so they have an established family tree. That is why I make a lot of rooms that are for ages baby-teen. 
My Policy
Enjoy my creations! I hope you use them a lot!

I used to create walls, floors and paintings years ago, and these older files are both on TSR and MTS2 under the name of KalicoKat. I did away with that name because I don't have a calico cat anymore and because I grew sick of the name. I started creating again recently and will be uploading some stuff I made years ago that I never shared on the big sites as well as the new things I'll be making.
Let's see, what else. I'm married, a proud mother of my son, and I own 2 cute but bratty cats. I also work crazy hours at my job, and I'm currently an English and History major (with a minor in Secondary Education) at a local community college.
I love to play various challenges including The Bachelorette Challenge, The Asylum Challenge, The Apocalypse Challenge, the various poverty challenges and others.
As of right now, I'll be creating walls, floors, business lots and challenge lots for the game. I haven't created in so long I forgot a few things, and I appreciate your patience as I relearn the ropes.
My Policy
1. No credit is needed if you use my walls and floors for lots uploaded here to Natural Sims. 2. Please give credit and a link if you use my walls and floors for lots uploaded to another site. 3. My content will always be free, and therefore they are not to be included in any lots that are pay. 4. Please don't upload my content to the exchange or claim them as your own. 5. No credit is needed for any kind of screenshots, especially for stories. 6. If you want any textures or tiles I've used, please let me know. I'm always willing to share.

I love to design fashions! I go to school every day so I don't have much time for it but I enjoy drawing many different designs. My favorite subjects in school are science, math, and recess. :) I also enjoy reading, writing in my journal, and hanging out with my friends. I have just started to design fashions for Sims, I hope you like them. Also my mom is named EarthGoddess so you may know her. She is teaching me web design now too, I like to figure out the code because it's like a puzzle. Thanks for looking at my designs!
My Policy
I don't care what you do with my fashions. If I use someone else's mesh please read their policy before using.
ShanOw
Hi, I'm Shane and I'm from Australia. I have played the Sims since the original became interested in creating custom content after discovering some of the amazing content available in the community. I specialize in creating furniture & object meshes, especially modern and roman style stuff. I love sharing here at Natural Sims, even though I don't do it as much as I'd really like to. You can find more of my stuff at Luina Sims.
My Policy
You can include my stuff in lots, recolor my stuff, rip my textures and clone my stuff. If you want to include my meshes with your recolors please send me an e-mail or PM so I can keep track of my meshes. I'm known to fix things a lot.
My #1 rule: 'My objects and anything derived from them must stay 100% free!'

Long time gamer, I am also a member of the SCA and all around uber-geek. Mundanely I'm an English teacher, an artist and 'mother' of many cats and dogs.
My Policy
I mostly recolour, but also sometimes do walls and floors and bodyshop items. I do not care what you do with my homecrafter items, recolurs, textures, or bodyshop items as long as I get a mention somewhere in the credits and they are not uploaded to pay sites. In the case of my custom recolours, please check the policy of the original mesh creator before using. My meshes may be cloned, hacked, folded, spindled and mutilated to your hearts content, recoloured, and may be included in lots uploaded to free sites, provided credit is given to me along with a link back to Natural Sims. If you use something of mine, I'd enjoy a getting a screenie- it's always fun to see what others do with my creations once I set them free. All parts of my work and anything substantially derived from it is, and always will be, free. Under no circumstances are any of my creations, or any part thereof, including recolours of my meshes, to be uploaded to TSR. Please do not claim my work as your own. Please remember to link back here to NS.
