Like oh my god I am so jealous of Peggy's hair! 

And they don't seem to realize the artiste is not sitting there slaving away but rather downloaded those meshes elsewhere and just converted them and did a halfassed job at even that.

Wow they have the whole tranny sim scene covered. The first set look like FTM trannies and the second like MTF trannies.

Uh Japan is pedo-land central.

This boggles my mind. I don't understand this mentality at all. I mean I am all for reading a range of opinions to make an informed choice, but I also want direct experience to be able to decide for myself. I would never think, 'Oh I wonder if I should go check out that site. Let me see what other people say about it' I would just go!

A wonderful example of this sort of mentality in the community is the recent patch. I've read lots of people running around like chicken little announcing how it will destroy your game bla bla. When questioned on what their actual direct experience was with patch a number of them had none! They hadn't even installed it. They just read something someone said on the BBS or TSR or MTS or where ever that it was bad and caused problems and so they accepted that as fact and went even further to run around repeating it as such to others. Most likely the originator of that anecdote had problems due to user error but that doesn't get conveyed. All that does is PATCH BAD!

I am not saying don't listen to anything anyone ever says online, but people also need to keep in mind that it is just something some random yahoo says on the internet and unless you know the person very well then what they say should be taken with a grain of salt, not as fact.


I am so tired of that excuse. I already mentioned this on another thread, but I had years ago worked on a large very popular mod for Morrowind. I am talking over 100MB and it had thousands of downloads. This was in the days before the abundance of free file sharing sites too. We never had a problem finding somewhere to host our mod. Ever. If someone can't find free hosting for their files then they really aren't trying or looking because it is out there.

While I am on the subject of Elder Scrolls games and that community, I'm sure people here remember exnem and his Sims pay site. Well he modded for the Elder Scrolls games too. In fact he made one of the more popular body replacers for Oblivion. He never charged for his Elder Scrolls mods because the community would not tolerate it.

There is such a huge difference of thought on pay mods content in that and many other gaming communities vs the Sims community.

I remember once someone in the Elder Scrolls community told some German magazine they could put their mods on a CD the magazine was distributing with one of their issues and it caused a huge shitstorm in the community. People were outraged because they felt it was indirectly charging for mods by having to pay to buy the magazine. (In reality, they would charge the same for the magazine with or without those mods but it still caused a lot of outrage in the community)

TSR to me is the virtual equivalent of con artists swindling gullible old people out of their money. It's unethical and wrong.

At the same time people also need to educate themselves and make informed decisions and not just believe what some stranger tells them, or worse yet, hand them their money.

That is Cara's sister, Sarah Small Boobs.

Yes they do. Anything installed as a sims3pack via the launcher will get the custom icon.

Hate to say it but I think those sims3pack patterns come from the TSR tool.

Of course if someone makes a pattern that is just a recolor of an EA one they can export it to sims3pack from just using the game.

@Rum: I sometimes use plastic or metal for the sheets and pillows on the beds because it looks shiny and silk like.  And yeah it works for simulating pleathery PVCish clothes too. Thing is it doesn't work on all meshes though and the effects seem to vary so I think it's partially how that mesh was created and what sort of effects settings it has enabled on it.

@HL: Do you know of any way possible to get the patterns installed via .package to still show the custom content icon on their picture? I would love it if they did. I can't tell what the hell is and isn't custom content in my game. With most of the other things I can sort of tell just off of memory from looking at it, but with all the patterns I downloaded I have no flipping clue!

If you haven't checked those movie posters today check back because a bunch more were just added. 

Inge moved to MTS so I imagine she took Postal with her there.

EDIT: Nm, beat me to it.

BTW is it just me or does MTS have an especially non-intuitive layout for where they stash their various forums?

WTF is this? A pigtail beard?

Yeah and personally I rather like the idea of men hairs for men and women hairs for women. I have seen too many pictures lately of female sims looking like they are trying to be Annie Lennox in the 80s or male sims that look like tranny hot messes.

I don't think it needs to be obligatory to gender port every hairstyle or even most.

Why would someone start up with pay items on a TS2 exclusive site now? There's still some die hards but the user base has obviously greatly dwindled.

Was it just greed combined with laziness since she already had the stuff made anyway and figured if even a few people were stupid enough to buy the stuff then it was worth a shot?

It looks ridiculous and fake. No one looks like that without some messed up plastic surgery. If she is going to be that damn endowed at least put some curve in her elsewhere. And don't get me started on that hair.

I laughed a good 10 minutes over that sim. It looks like a tranny who bought the biggest wig she could find and then went to Mexico for some unlicensed hack surgeon to put 40 lbs of silicon in each breast.

Gee, I wonder if those are real folds and creases and ruffles and buttons and straps or just painted on. 

I never thought about it honestly. I suppose I could. All of them? Hmm there's a lot.
