Title: Serasim's newest atrocity.

Never fear! I will of course make free celebrities and models furthermore, but by the fact that i have received lots of requests about sims in the meantime, i have decided to open up an request portal. Here you can request sims you need for your game that i don't plan to built for my site. These could be celebrities as well as real persons out of your real life.

It's very time consuming to built a sim. I need to built the skintone as well as making real eyes, forming the face, maybe making the hair or clothes for them. So i would take 5,-€ per Sim and you'll have to wait up to a week or more (depending on how difficult the sim is or how much requests i get) till i will send the sim to you. The sim will not be available for download here at my page. Its just for your personal game only.


Hmm isn't that interesting. People send her requests for Sims, so she realizes that she can make money off of it. These paysite owners make me sick.

That actually doesn't bug me as much as most paysite malarky for some reason.

I'm more surprised there exist people who want to have Sera's sims in their games. They're definitely the creepiest  and ugliest from all Sims I've seen so far.

That is complete arse - she really needs to get over herself.

So the more popular a particular sim request is, the more money she gets, whereas the person thinks they have an original sim (along with 50 others) Great scheme!!!  Too bad I'm shit at making celeb sims otherwise I'd do the same thing on my nonexistant site of course :P

Finding high quality picture can be hard to find. So now people will find them for her and will pay her...wow!

I'm not really surprised.
Paysites will do anything to get money.
It makes me sick too.

It's because of the PMBD :) People stopped paying her for the files, that are in the booty, so she needed smth to make them pay again.

I know, her sims are hideous!  You said it better than I ever could...And I love how she says that she'd have to make a special skintone/eyes.  Like she wouldn't just slap on some eyes that she's already made.  And all that crap about how she has to "sculpt" the face or whatever she said.  Anyone who would pay for her ugly ass sims deserves what they get, though.

yeah, I was checking this site yesterday, because of this thread.. OMG! Brad Pitt is so funny. I was laughing for 5 minutes :lol: And Gwen Stefani looks like she's gonna eat us all right now :shock: Only Pamela Anderson looks alike, but she's not so very pretty in real life too :) imho.

We should spam her with requests for really ugly people - that way she's putting her talents to good use ... I think she'd make an excellent Pete Burns sim.

Rofl - I was thinking that when I was looking at them yesterday - and trying not to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon. >_<

They look just enough like the celeb in question - once you have a name to go on anyway - but they look rather like they got beaten with the ugly stick a few times. XD

You are so right. Every time I went to her site to grab her clothes, I have to endure a headache loooooking at those sims and their twisted stomachs.  

And $5?! Is she nuts? I seriously wonder if anyone would pay up....
and speaking of her skintones, they suck!

Post by: Pineapplebrain on 2007 February 21, 16:50:25
Not five dollars. I think it's five Euros....unless I'm mistaken. If it is five Euros, that would make it $6.50 for US dollars...unless the converter I found was wrong.

This thread just brought me to her site...as a result I'm 100% sure that her Robbie Williams is going to haunt my sleep tonight  :shock: One might say she has a rather peculiar skill at making freaky scary versions of the original celebs...

I hate paysite owners and their greedy asses, but the way people seem to be willing to go on buying the crappy sims stuff from the crappy sims creators just keeps leaving me completely astonished.

Poor Pete Burns. He used to be quite attractive, if a bit effeminate, in the 80s. You know, when Dead or Alive was actually popular.... sort of. I thought he was hot anyway.

Now...ugh. Like a drag queen with a drunk plastic surgeon.

The only celebrity sim I've ever downloaded was peta wilson from mts.
Never used her though because I don't like playing other people sims.
I should have made her a townie.
I don't really want celebrities in my game since they are so over exposed in reality.


I wonder if Vita charges separately for each Olsen twin and has anyone ever been stupid enough to pay for each?

I'm kinda curious if she actually would... anyone got 5$?

OMG 5,-€  per a fricking Sim?!? Is she joking me?!?

Where all the sims that you are talking about i wanted to see them for myself  to laugh my ass off, but dont see them under the celebrity or model list...Am i just being blind?

5 EUROS!!! Is she trying to live her ass off making ugly sims?
Now I am dying of curiousity to know if anyone will actually take up her offer.

Speaking of her ugly sims, did she really make the features with the ingame engine or is it just a mask? Chaz made his ugly sims with a face mask...the last time i checked (and puked).

Post by: .darkshines on 2007 February 24, 14:13:05
well. I sent Sera a mail telling her that i think 5 € are way too much and that it is illegal to charge for cc anyway.
Surprisingly she responded. Told me that actually at first she wanted to take 2 € but that people she asked for their opinion on the new system convinced her to take 5 €. And that she needed this system to pay for her server costs blahblah but would give up the donation sets now.
I was so stupid to believe that maybe she was a reasonable person... so I sent her another mail trying to explain to her that there are ways how she could keep her site 100% free without having to pay too much for severcosts on her own.... plus i think i told her like at least 10 times that and also why selling any sims2 stuff was illegal...
She answered... that her site was 100% free now, because she removed the donation sets, yet that she will keep the request system [< --oh wait. am i the only one to think that her site isn't 100% free due to that request system???] ... because she has to pay for 60€ of servercosts per month ....

*sigh*  :?

Post by: snadradeocconer on 2007 February 24, 19:12:19
She will never go completely free. I knew form the beginning that she wanted money. And once her request system fails she will return back to a donation set up.

Post by: Tchannie on 2007 February 24, 20:50:48
That is DISGUSTING!
5$+ for a sim? On their OWN? That's robbery. I hope no-one falls for it. What a shitty scam. *heaves a great sigh*

Gah... have you noticed how none of her celebs or models have in-game shots? *shudders* I bet they are freakin' scary in game, with their crazy photoshop-mask faces... And all of the pics she does have hare photoshopped, so you can't tell what the sime really would look like. What a scam. Unfortunately, I feel there are going to be some who fall for it but I hope I'm wrong.  :?

There probably will be, sadly. Before I came across PMBD, I was willing to sub to Peggy -- but I didn't have the money to waste, thankfully. Then I found out about the evils of Peggy and other paysites... Thank god I came into the light before I spent money on this stuff!

Babbling aside, I think there will be people saying, "Oh Sera is so great, I want a fancy custom Simmie and I KNOW she will put so MUCH work into it, since I'm paying 5 euros (or whatever my currency is)! Things that are more expensive are ALWAYS better quality, after all."  :roll:

I think requesting custom sims is silly, anyway. Especially celebrity sims. I don't really understand the use for them. I can somewhat understand wanting a custom sim for stories/movies or just because it's pretty (for example, I think HP's sims are beautiful, and I would love to make one half as nice) but personally I'd rather make the sim myself... It feels more personal that way.

Yeah she is. Apparently she's not getting enough money to run it any longer. And she's been doing this shitty pay-per-model thing. Is she telling us she hasn't got enough donations, the swine?

wait, is her server made of gold???
I paid my hoster 19€ for 3 months hosting of 2 sites last month! There is no need to have own server for a sim site. I don't believe, that her site is so large or makes so much traffic, that she has to run her own server.

well either sera is very stupid or lying about this ... i think it's the second. i've been to that forum she had (and closed) ages ago and i've always thought there was something "wrong" with her. oh and btw i told her where to get cheaper webspace but yeah... you know what she answered. nothing.

Present-day Pete, of course. 80s Pete might be beyond her skill.

She could make NYC's infamous plastic surgery junkie The Tiger Woman, though.

And if Amanda Lepore still has lips of doom, there's another candidate.
