So a paysite ftps a new folder named "Sims3", offers up a free mesh and that makes it a prettiest freesite creation? New object meshes for Sims 3 is exciting but Stylist Sims is still a paysite.

It would have to be ShanOw2 or something because he was registered here before and it didn't end well. Maybe he was a 12 then and has since matured? It was a while ago.

amythestfenix, I really love those textures, thank you so much for sharing them! I should have the sofas up at the link in my sig by tomorrow.


Thank you!

Wow, mustluvcatz, I like the blue tones!

I haven't uploaded these anywhere yet but I recolored the sofas from Moune's new set too:



The pillow textures are vintage 1950s hankies by Tammis Keefe (they look more like linen cocktail napkins to me but whatever, the site I ganked them from said hankies) and the sofa textures are Amethystfenix' linen textures she shares at Laden Swallow. I suck at lighting a room for pictures but the textures do look linen-y in game.

If you're still having trouble downloading that set from MTS you can get it here, too: http://www.wickednoukfamily.com/forums/index.php?topic=1290.msg8620#msg8620

It's from the Wicked Nouk Family's Aspiration Gift from March.

Moune! I love that whole set and that LAMP IS TO DIE FOR! Yummy.

Your welcome and this link has info about EA threatening MATY.

Since I've cross posted here and MTS the info is starting to get all jumbled so let me go over what I did from start to finish:

1. Freshly installed game.

2. Never used the launcher at all. I ran the game only from TS3.exe. No custom or Store content in my game at all.

3. Downloaded the file from the first mediafire link in this post, thinking it was the pay hair.

4. Went to the wiki to read up on installing CC in TS3 because I hadn't as yet, done so. Downloaded the Resource.cfg file from the article and put it in folder specified.

5. Followed the instructions in the readme that came with Peggy's download:
(I had to create the folder DCBackup because I didn't have one)

6. Fired up game, entered CAS, clicked through all the hairs to see if it had replaced any and it hadn't that I could tell. Quit game. Deleted cache files per Peggy's site's instructions tried again, no hair.

7. Downloaded HP's cherub hair, extracted to Mods\Packages, fired up game, success cute HP hair.

8. Realized the Peggy hair I downloaded wasn't the pay version but the free mystery version that was causing much drama on the Exchange. Oops. Removed that hair from Mods\Packages and deleted the DCBackup folder and the 0x...package file inside it.

9. Extracted Peggy pay hair to Mods\Packages, fired up the game and DAMMIT. Peggy pay hair. I now have blood streaming out of my nose that I'm having to blow away from my mouth like that stupid smiley but it ain't out of love, more like a seething RAEG because the hair worked.

I didn't put her Resource.cfg in my game because I already had Delphy's.

Right but when I took that weird .package out the pay hair still showed up in my game. Also, wouldn't Peggy get in trouble with EA for redistributing a Store hair?

Here's the wtf smiley: Looks like someone kissed him on his cheek and he promptly got a nosebleed.

There was a Resource.cfg in the booty .zip but I didn't put it in since I already had Delphy's. The bootleg Peggy hair that I put in first didn't have a Resource.cfg with it (hence the reason I used Delphy's to begin with) but some weird extra .package file that was a jumble of numbers that started with 0x.....package. The instructions in that .rar file said said this:


I took those out and deleted that DCBackup folder when I put Peggy's pay hair in and it made no difference, her pay hair worked.

Cross posted from MTS:

Annnnd I suck at reading comprehension. I downloaded the hair from this post which I think is the one that caused some drama on The Exchange? I don't know but dang it, the pay hair does work:



She's as sad about that hair being on her head as I am. Sorry for my failcaeks.

Damn, apparently I can't resize a frikkin' image either.

I don't have anything in my game except Delphy's resource.cfg file (downloaded from MTS), Peggy's hair and HP's Cherub hair. No hacks, nothing from the store, or anything else. Peggy's hair did not show up for me at all.

Okay, clearly I have done something wrong because Peggy's pay hair didn't show up for me at all. I followed the instructions in the readme that came in the download after downloading Delphy's resource.cfg and putting it in the root folder, fired up the game and nada. I clicked all the hairs in create a sim for all the ages and it ain't there. Peggy's website suggested deleting cache files so I did and tried again and still no Peggy hair. Again, I clicked through all the hairs in all the ages just to make sure it wasn't there and it isn't.

Since I don't have any other CC in my game I thought I would test HP's cherub hair to see if it was me having a brain fart or what. So I extracted the .package files to Mods/Packages, fired up the game, entered CAS and this is what greeted me:



Irrelevant I know but I LOL'd. Ahem. Anyway, guess what is available? Not Peggy hair (which is still in Mods/Packages, btw), but the cherub hair is right there! In all of it's awesomeness:



and a screenie made with my screenshot program which is really dark for some reason:



I still could be doing something wrong (probably am) but HP's hair just worked without any fiddling and Peggy's didn't FWIW.

I have a totally vanilla installation with no hacks or Store hairs. I'll throw her hair in and see what happens. BRB.
