It's very easy to see how My Sims could appeal to some Sims fans, escpecially the younger ones. It's definitely one of those things that could be very popular and give the Sims more crossover appeal. On the other hand, a more realistic-looking Sims game might have been more suited for the Wii, given the realistic gaming experience it's supposed to provide. I only play computer games though, so either way it's no big issue with me.

Someone should fix him up with Carmen Patch. I'm sure the children would be beautiful. :lol:

There's a Sim model search at S2C right now that name drops Carla. The 'host' is one of her models. Thought of entering a fugly sim as a joke, but I won't subject any of my sims to that.

What a pshycopath. Anyone that attached to their sims needs extensive therapy. She should be thrown in a padded room with Jan.
One time I uploaded a self sim to the Exchange when I used to go on there, and a couple days later, someone used my head and added a bunch of CC. Mine got three stars and was taken off and theirs is still on there, though I lost the link ages ago. It was really, really weird, but I was more amused than anything. If you don't want someone using your stuff, don't upload it.

Yeah...wasn't Spore supposed to come out last year at one point?
It's starting to sound like the Maxis version of Chinese Democracy.

Sometimes I wonder if CN keeps s/h/it's site up and running just to cause us pain.
One of my friends once referred to the Maxis/EA faces as 'science experiments gone wrong'. That term definitely applies to Carla Niven's items as well.

I'm glad I stopped going on TSR. Very tempted to post that pic on the exchange, but I stupidly use the same user name everywhere, so it may not be a good idea.
Interestingly, I actually used to have some free NeptuneSuzy hair I got from TSR, but got rid of it after reading about what a lovely person she was  :roll:

Yeah...that's how I feel too. While it's understandable to see how it can be portrayed as selling out, it's good that they're paying attention to the fact that there's a lot of good custom creators out there that could help make the EA content better.

 :lol:
I can envision the ad already. Her hair would have to have gaps in it though.

"Billy Mays here with a time-limited special offer from RoseSims!"

The "God Almighty" application is kind of funny too

I was able to throw pies at Carla Niven's site on there too

I took Bon Voyage out for reinstallation the other day, and put my backup folders in. I forgot the backup folder still had the meatslab dress in it. As soon as I saw it in CAS it seemed to be saying 'I'M BAACK!!!'

I've been reading this thread, and she kind of reminds me of this girl I went to college with. She used to blow up at people all the time for no reason, and threaten to beat them up. She also used to say she had stories she'd wrote in her head...

I totally agree with you. People who are new to the game definitely need to know that there are much better sites out there. Those were some of my first places for CC too before I came across sites that had better content. When you're starting out looking for CC, and don't always know better, those are usually the first sites to come across. I was fortunate enough though to have discovered MTS2, which is one of my favourite CC sites, fairly early on also though.
