PMBD

When snootysims posted that the next stuff-pack would be a H&M-pack I didn't believe it. I thought it might be some kin of lame overdue Aprils-fool joke.

But now it's official.


This really gets my pirateblood boiling. I mean, one thing is to advertise for one game you made, in another game (SSX3, Urbz and so on), thats a bit annoying but still a bit cute and fun, and after all the Urbz stuff was a free downloads.

But to outright make a pack, not only containing product placement but being a direct advertisement for H&M!?! WTF?!
And then the clothes aren't even that good. I've seen plenty of free stuff better made. And then there is the mannequin's and clothes-display stuff. Shouldn't this have been in Open for business? Why do we have to pay for business-stuff again? And then with complimentary commercials in it?

It gives me a strong urge to pick up my cutlass and bandanna and steal stuff!!! Aaaargh!

Now, now, dear. That would be illegal.

But of course I agree 100%

I'm looking forward to it actually!  :oops:

That's your prerogative... And more power to ya.

You know, I would have jumped on that train too if it was a made-up simlish brand and NOT H&M who probably lined EA's pockets considerably for making that pack to begin with. Heck, they probably made a profit from it before putting it on the market. We're just lemons to be squeezed for all we're worth just for the Hell of it  :cry:

And yes, I know that they're about making money. Of course they are. But there's a difference between making money and exploiting the fan base...

I agree, lol.  :oops:

H&M?! Oh dear...ohdearohdearohdear! Now games will be filled with chav-tastic clothing. Oh and hasn't Madonna 'created' a clothing line for H&M? *dies*

Sorry EA and Maxis - myself and my sims have much better taste than that :shock:

I agree with every poster above and just want you all to remember that not buying it doesn't mean you can't have it!

...because we're pirates, right?  8)  YARR!

I had no idea what H&M was. I had to Google it. I don't remember seeing one in any of the places i have been, but then again I usually don't look for clothes when I am over.

I'm not impressed with the clothing or that EA decided to go with a "branded" name for a fashion pack.

Even if I did get it for free I wouldn't install it :P

I wouldn't care what brand they went with, I just think stuff packs are stupid.  We get better things from the community.  Stuff packs are a ripoff.

Exactly! That's why I encourage everyone to install and play them, but not actually buy them!

I'm with Cpt Berg... I used to buy them, but this one I cannot make myself buy. Yet the OFB-ish things I wouldn't mind having so I might look into going to less savoury places for that one.

I have shopped at H&M before (but so so rarely, I'm currently wearing a t-shirt that I remember buying 11 years ago, that's how much the real me cares about clothes). I don't mind a lot of their RL clothes. But that doesn't alter the principle of the fact OR the (rather irrelevant) fact that I don't really like most of the clothes they're advertising for my sims.

Well, I don't support them for making a SP with a brand, I pretty much don't care about brands, but I just like the clothes, theyre normal.. and theyre good quality, but I doubt Im gonna pay for it anyway

Wasn't attacking you, Caedre, was just making a point that I seem to be rather passionate about  :oops:

Oh I didn't felt attacked at all  :D

And I agree with your point of view!

I'll get it for the meshes.  Most of them look like they'd be pretty versatile (from what I gleaned on the pics posted).  The textures are not that cool.  If that is what H&M is about then this was more of a "don't bother!" advertisement :P

Yeah - I am really pissed off about this choice.  I always buy the stuff packs at full price when they come out because I'm so eager for new stuff.  But this - this is a game based ad, and IF I buy it, I won't be rushing.  

And I note that despite the fact that everyone was awaiting it with baited breath, the release of the information doesn't seem to have created a lot of excitement on the BBS - which is where the excitement stems from.  Nobody gives a shit.

lol, the best reference i have read about this pack came from over at insim....someone said that maxis must have HIRED carla as their fashion consultant from this pack!  :lol:   i think H and M definitely will make a pretty penny from this pack as well....

Where I live, people who buy H&M are... kinda poor. Usually.

I want it for the meshes. I don't think it looks bad at all.
I think the screen shots released show horrible choices, but when I looked through the items individually, they were cute.
I have cut out the majority of meshes out of my game and am trying to make due with only Maxis recolors until I get my new great computer, so anything new looks wonderful to me.  :lol:

From what I gather on the BBS, a lot of the people who enjoy the stuff packs are people who for one reason or another can't/won't get CC. And I get that, I do. It sucks to not have any options.

I wasn't getting my knickers in a bunch about the Stuff Pack concept either, even though I do recognise their big money ploy. I have gotten the other ones - particularly with a thought for meshes, although I have actually enjoyed quite a few of the items in my game.

It's just the damn H&M thing that pisses me off.

I'm such a person (poor), so I think it's great with stores that offer fun clothes for little money. I'm not into trends much but H&M is a good place for basic clothes too, especially during their sales.
The quality is everything from OK to really bad, but you get what you pay for so that's OK with me.

Strange that H&M has nothing to say about this SP on their website though, not that I could see at least...

So H&M is kinda like the "Old Navy" of Europe?

I love H&M. We don't have one over here so whenever I'm shopping where there is one I buy all I can! The jumper I'm wearing ATM is from there. I'll buy this SP! ^^


Someone told me H&M stood for Hair & Makeup...obviously not. Where are these screenshots we're seeing?

I'm kinda poor too, but whatever I get there just falls apart after washing it a few times :D Maybe I get the worng things. Or it doesn't fit my bodytype. Wich is whider hips, bigger butt, smaller waist. It leaves a gap above my butt and people can see my underwear.
They don't carry bra's my size. My boobs don't fit into their blouses. I could get an xxl shirt to barelyfit my boobs in, but the thing looks like a garbage bag flopping around me, and tight on the boobs. Way too large otherwise.

They piss me off. When they don't piss me off, the disapointment comes after I wash the clothing the first time.

Just seen some screencaps and some of the clothe meshes look okay...although some look odd; short billowing skirt with converses? Oh please...

Ya know I'd love to see a pack with shoes. I am kinda tired of only seeing tennis shoes with capri pants or workout suits. I wear tennis shoes with lots of stuff, oh and my Crocs. Love my Crocs.

I just want to be able to choose the shoes my Sims wear.


SHOOEEEESSSSS Glorious SHOOOOOEEEEESSSS!

OK, I'll stop singing now. LOL

There's a lot of great meshes that's coming with the H&M pack that will be quite cute when properly recolored.

And I second that, Bigtruckgirl, on a stuff pack of just shoes!

Crocs are the ugliest shoes in the world and they make me really sick (I'm a trypophobe which means patterns/holes/lots of circles together make me sick). Plus they're PLASTIC!

I love converses with things...

Please can you give me a link to pictures?

My personal favorites of the new meshes.  (Ignore the texture!)

I have a thing for puffy sleeves and the a-line skirt is nice.

OMG, finally new active wear!
(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_11.jpg)

Cute, with a lot of potential.
(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_26.jpg)

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_34.jpg)

Cargo pants!
(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_48.jpg)

View them all here (http://thesims2.ea.com/about/sp5_renders.php).

You're actually... wearing crocs? Crocs are like what really ugly shoes would be after being chewed, stomped and shat on by a medium-sized rhinoceros. I'd never, I repeat, NEVER wear something that ugly.


I would, however, kill for these babies:

Or even better:
http://www.vagabond.com/vagabond_product.aspx?ItemNr=2331-001&color=

...good thing we all have different tastes, huh? :D

Oh, and I do love my converse aswell. Comfy and classic.

H&M official link http://thesims2.ea.com/about/sp5_index.php


Crocs are comfy, but if they literally make you sick then they are not for you. I did not believe it until I got a pair for myself though. I thought the hubby was crazy as a loony for getting a pair. You can get Jibbitz to put in the holes, but that would make kind of a pattern, so that might make it worse!

See, those are cute, but I can't wear shoes like that. I do love the Crocs. I would not have thought I would, but I do. LOL

Mine are "girly" though. They are Pearl Pink. :D

I hear they're really comfortable, and I've been tempted to try them since I work in a clothes shop and stand alot... but I'd just feel bad, knowing I was wearing them. So, I decided not to try them on, ever. xD

I just can't be persuaded to spend a lot of money on shoes... I find most shoes I see downtown fugly, boring, too expensive, too uncomfortable or any combination of the already mentioned, so... I generally only buy shoes if it's an emergency.

My last pair of everyday shoes had its sole glued several times and was repaired with duct tape before I decided that it was time for a new pair  :lol:

Oh dear. I wish that would have been a MANGO Stuffpack. I adore Mango.

I still think they're ugly. I don't like the other shoes there either. I'm fine with my mismatched converses lol ^^ (pink with polkadots--they don't make my trypophobia flare, in all amazingness ^^--and black and pink ^^)

I love this:

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_10.jpg)

There's a girl in my clas who was wearing a grey dress like that today.

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_13.jpg)

But sandals? Goddess no.

All the girls' jeans are hideous. Fact. The boys' ones are less ugly.

This is pretty cool too:

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_17.jpg)

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_21.jpg)

I LOVE that.

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_33.jpg)

That'll be really cute recoloured.

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_36.jpg)

I love that too.

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_37.jpg)

That's cool too...

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_60.jpg)

I adore this. And it has PINK shoes!!!

My favourite outfit:

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_29.jpg)

Mind you the colour choices are a bit boring.

I'll probably end up buying the SP despite the blatant advertisement and even if most of the outfits with crazy psychedelic patterns scare me.

And roman gladiator sandals = ugh, Chanel or no.  And don't get me started on crocs.  They're worse than the rubber cherry red clogs my mother wears when she gardens.  Although both are rather similar.

at least EA actually got a clothing company to work on some half decent clothes for the sims

unlike the usual EA crap they make for sims to wear

 :wink:

I must be really out of fashion, then. I haven't seen anything yet in this SP that I think is decent..for me or my sims.My only hope is that the meshes lend themselves to making decent looking CC.

If it makes all of you Croc haters feel better, today I am wearing these...

 :lol:

i think the thing thats pissing me off about this is that its fooling the little 12 year olds that dont know they are being advertised at. Its a cruel cruel trick.

as much as i hate the fact i am paying for an in game advertisment of H&M, the clothes are super cute  :x

I'm torn! :evil:

I don't think this will be the last stuff pack of its kind.. especially if it sells well and I think it will.

I think about half of the clothes are nice, and I agree about the meshes -- If it's one thing that EA is good at, I love their meshes. I can't recolour to save my life, but if I could I'd be all over those things. Sensible shoes, no heels with the damn UNDERWEAR, and the like. They just need to work on their.. well.. skills to actually make them look wearable.

The ability to choose our own shoes would definitely suit everyone perfectly. No one whining about heels or lack of them, the right or wrong colour shoes for one outfit, or even a bad shoe design that ruins an otherwise perfectly nice outfit.
Maybe for TS3, they'll implement that? It's too late now to add it to TS2.

i really loved the little pink jumper...i just wish they had not paired it with high tops (slaps forehead) the individual stuff is ok, i just wish h and m was not plastered all over everything...


OFF TOPIC: nouk, WOW are those things that big, lol  :lol: (can i borrow some?)

crocs are ugly, but i want some cause they are comfy and i want to disgust my boyfriend

i didnt think old navy was a "poor store" to me old navy is epitome of white middle class, lol.

Well there's one thing about it that I like...every damn thing is *perfect*. Perfect handpainted textures, meshes, animations, seams...and this time the styles are kinda cute too, for average type sims (of which I don't have many but eh)

I hate the blatant advertising though. Just like with the dumb celeb sims. It's Simworld, right? Keep it that way... :roll:

This is close:

My sims never wear maxis clothes. Ever.
They hardly ever wear anything that uses Maxis meshes.
I actually like some of the meshes.
But I don't like the clothing textures.
I haven't bought a stuff pack yet and I won't be buying this H & M pack either.

I have that! :D

I don't use much Maxis clothing either, except for the pyjama pants for adult males. I like some of their kids and toddler clothes (striped overalls <3).  But... then again, I only play adult sims, to make a perfect family with a nicely furnished house, that I then abandon after playing it for one session. So I don't look for stuff for any other age category.

Have you ever seen their clearance? 1.97 for a t-shirt is pretty damned cheap. LOL

I don't consider old navy a poor store either.
I consider walmart and kmart  as poor stores.

I actually think this is one of Maxis/EA's better ideas.  My inner women's-liberal-arts-college-attending self might be screaming in agony at the blatant corporate selling out, but my outer fashionista is rather impressed.

I mean, when it comes to fashion, Maxis is fashion-er, what's a somewhat less offensive way to say 'retarded'?  Because there just doesn't seem to be a word for the depth of Maxis's incompetence on this front.  The shapes, the cuts, the colors...seriously, Maxis clothes offend my eyes.  I want to know what these people wear to work.  Actually, I don't, because if I saw it there'd probably be me hair-pulling, makeup-spackling, and screeching "Get thee to a Nordstrom's!" at the top of my lungs.  And the jewelry-laden stilletto-heeled (HELLO IT'S BEEN ALL ABOUT THE CHUNKY PLATFORM HEEL SINCE F/W '05) stuff frequently isn't an improvement.  And that's leaving out stuff like the candidates for Pescado's Whore Clothes Treasure Hunt at MATY.  *shudder*

So I see this as Maxis realizing they need help in this department and working with a company that has some idea of what's current.  H&M is a good choice because it's going to play better in Europe, and it's streetwear, and reasonably-priced IRL, so it feels more accessible to average players.  The meshes I've seen so far all look like they'll be terrific retextured, especially the store items!  In the right simmer's hands, I think the pack will be fantastic.

It would be nice if Maxis, who probably pocketed some change on this, had the decency to pass the savings along to players, but I suppose that's about as likely to happen as pigs flying.

littlemisspirate, do u have a link to the "whore clothes treasure hunt" at MATY, i would like to read that. lol

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7914.0.html    :wink:

Thank you for the link.  That thread is hilarious.  WTF? Children with boobs?  That creator is seriously ill.

helloo entertainment for the next few minutes.

This is terrifying (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7914.msg219217.html#msg219217)

i was hoping that they'd have some of the lagerfeld, viktor & rolf and any of the non stupid looking things by stella mccartney. i just wish they'd come out with a stuff pack that was all about men or elders.

Agh that thread is hilarious. I actually have an outfit that would fit perfectly in there and I don't have a MATY u/n. ^^ Would someone put it up if it isn't already? Oh I found another. And another. Both of these are from 2-f0r-u.

The fourth was the first that came into my head...I have it on a sim in my game lol--she's a psychopath so that's why. ^^

Lmao my old pink fetish dress got nominated XD I can't say I didn't see it coming  :lol:  but well, it wasn't intended to be worn on an everyday basis.

I've had quite a few giggles from that thread, and a few of them mixed with ewws. The kids with a C cup is the winner for me. *shudder*

Tchan - I actually like the shoes on that whore santa outfit. With a different dress they would be sweet.

How about the 3rd bottom row outfit (black, barely there one) from the new easter update?

Would you wear this??  :shock: What the crap were they thinking?  (If this has already been mentioned above, sorry, I was a lazy-ass and didn't read the first however many pages of this thread).

(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_36.jpg)

looks like kids clothing.

Woo, chavalicious!

Maxis has worse stuff though (think-gladiator sandals with hoodies and jeans)

*points at Maz*

 :lol:

Ghanima: That's a good submission actually. ^^ We need to make a thread over there and add everything to it.
I love the boots of the whorey undies thingy...they are gorgeous.

Renegade: I would!!! If it wouldn't look stupid on my shape, that is. ^^

I'd wear that, only without the dress... and the boots. And probably different jeans, knowing how hideous Maxis makes them. So basically, I wouldn't wear it.

The gray-ish top underneath isn't so bad, but that outfit seems to lack any logical colour coordination.  Gray top, pink/brown/yellow/white dress, blue leggings, and brown rainboots? Wtf?

Tchân - Noooo, please don't!! Think of peoples' EYESIGHT!!  Well, unless you work for Maxis, then making people blind is of no importance.

But...but I LIKE it!! :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

And man, I think that is the worst insult you could give me, ROFL. "Unless you work for Maxis." :P

And actually those colours look really good together. I wear grey and pink and blue together all the time. And I'm a redhead, and they look good on meee!!

I think we can establish that tastes differ. And that is a good thing. Heaven forbid we should all be clones of each other - that would be positively dull.

No worries Tchan I like some of the stuff there too. It might actually be the only SP I'm getting. I hope it's not as bugged out as the other ones.  :wink:

Well, hey, if they look good on you, then go for it ;)  And yeah, ok, the Maxis comment was harsh; I am sorry, you do not work for Maxis, I take it back :(

Anyway, I never said ALL the clothes in this pack were awful, but some really are.  And that colour combination just struck me as bizarre.

I totally argree with you I hated the Maxis clothes in my game as it is I would not buy a stuff pack when I can get better free clothes. And for am stuff pack this is very disapointing :cry:

Why buy when you can torrent for free? ;)

Ok. . . so I've never seen H&M in real life. Maybe I don't pay attention but honestly . . do they REALLY sell clothing that looks like this? I just don't believe it. (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k172/medowning/screenshot_4.jpg)
 Its absolutely hideous but the mesh may be useful provided it doesn't have any weirdness i occasionally experience with stuff packs.

H&M clothes look better in real life. >>'

Would they even have worn that in the 60's?  That's pretty ugly.  I agree the mesh may be useful, though.

Ooh WHERE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *eagereagereager*

H&M clothes look MUCH better IRL, or at least the ones in France and Scotland have better clothing! I don't know about the rest of the world...

Yea, I need a crash course in torrenting as well. Once tried with some anime, that didn't go all too well... Although, I actually did get some fun episodes of Bomberman Jack or whatever it's called.  :wink:

I'll help you if you want. Or at least play answerman.

Could you help me as well? Torrents don't LIKE me. I've tried. I haven't downloaded anything watchable/playable from a Torrent EVER (yes I did have the torrent extractor...).

Curious about H&M clothing, since I haven't been into an H&M for over 5 years (they were handy when I was in high school and had no money but wanted something to wear on a Friday night) I went into the H&M in Newcastle this week. MY EYES! They were some OK looking things, trousers, jumpers, T-shirts, but mostly there were naff looking clothes in eye searing colours. Touching the fabrics and looking at the stitching, it was clear that the quality hadn't improved in 5 years (nothing I've bought from H&M lasted more than a year of irregular use).

The store itself was playing loud dance music, was badly laid out and had mannequins wearing extremely impractical outfits, to be fair, some of the clothes were OK, but the mannequins were dressed in 4 or 5 bright colours each; it just hurt my eyes. I was the only girl looking around who didn't have huge 'gold' jewellery, a tight hairsprayed pony tail and either a tracksuit, miniskirt or combination of the two.

I guess I might shop in H&M again at some point if I needed something that didn't have to last, when money was tight, but it's never going to be a favourite.  

Oh, nearly forgot, a lot of the clothes looked like you'd have to be VERY thin for them to be flattering (a lot of very tight stuff, clingy fabrics, very short skirts, too skimpy to wear a bra with them and no hidden support, stuff like that), so I guess they're ideal for sims.

Looking back, my post seems like I'm a bit of a clothing snob, I'm not, Dorothy Perkins and stuff bought on eBay for no more than £10 is as expensive as I can get most of the time, though I have a few expensive things, mostly gifts. And I guess the stuff in H&M could be quite fashionable, I don't know, I don't pay attention to fashion, I only buy clothes based on what I like and what I think is flattering.

I only bought a jeans miniskirt there, it is ok but I guess it's because jeans will be jeans will be jeans...other stuff looks like it'll fall apart just by merely touching it. Besides, being that I don't have anything remotely close to big boobs, every top will just flop around me in a horrific way. So yeah, I guess it generally sucks big time :lol:

The store sounds like Chav heaven. :lol:

I don't really like a lot of Maxis' clothing, and I could see them making some of the stuff ugly in the pack.  The only thing I'd get it for would be for the meshes in case someone recolors the outfits or if I ever get brave enough to make clothes myself.

Edited to change a couple of things.

First time poster [short time lurker] but I had to post on this thread.  

This is the first I've heard of this new Stuff Pack and I am really annoyed at them.  I love getting the Stuff packs not because they are worth the money but because I feel that if I don't, I'm missing out on 'real' Sim stuff.  But I'm feeling really cheated that they're doing a whole Pack devoted to a real store.  They are making money from the company for endorsing it and then money from me for buying it.  The clothes themselves; some are cute.  I'm upset with Maxis/EA.
   
I'd go the torrent route but I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to what to do to make the darn thing playable.

I use utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/).
I don't know if I should post some torrent sites to get things from, so I'm going to say... google torrentspy and mininova.  :roll:

Guh, even if I did want this for free (if only for the clothing meshes) I wouldn't touch a torrent with a barge pole; downloaded my first one over the Easter period and got a malware infection on my laptop :cry:

If I can download it another way...

(oh and new here by the way!)

lol thanks! There are PMs too yuknow... :wink:  :wink:  :wink:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Ok folks, PM me if you need help with this, I'm the torrent queen  :lol:
It should be available a couple of days after the official release, though. Gotta give those pirates some time to do their work  :roll:

First off, thanks to everyone offering to help. :)

I am practising my torrenting skills on a couple of anime series, using the official BitTorrent client... they should be down in a day or so (amazing speed on this thing, almost 200kb/sec as we speak, eMule has NOTHING on torrents) and we will know if I truly suck or not.

I managed to find mininova by myself, but if anyone else knows some good places I'd love it if you'd send me a PM or something, thanks :)

The problem with H&M is the same problem you see everywhere: Some items that would be cute in their own right but are layered with so many other things they look terrible.  I was flipping through my little sister's Seventeen and I was mortified.  All the fashion models look like bag ladies or as if they got in a fight with a really bad Goodwill store.  I get layering, I like to layer some...fort the love of God though, why all the mismatching?  The 80's were bad enough, why do we have to bring back all these terrible fads?  *choke*

(long sleeve shirt + sleeveless dress + leggings + kneehigh boots) x ReallyAwfulColorCombinations = BADNESS

Hehe I love how things evolve on this forum if you just leave them for long enough... kinda like things in my fridge :)

Just wanted to say that I hadn't even looked at any of the screenshots of the clothes when I posted this thread.
 To me it was never about what's actually in the pack, but the fact that they use a real shop.
And I don't care if it's a good shop or a bad shop, if it uses  Chinese child labour (http://www.nlcnet.org/article.php?id=147)* or have Madonna  (http://www.hm.com/it/press/fashionpressrelease.ahtml?pressreleaseid=786&nodeid=316)design for them. How the clothes is awful or nice.
I don't care about any for that.
I do however care about paying to get commercials! That's what I don't like! That's what's getting my whetstone out to sharpen the old cutlass. That's why I don the Jolly roger (and nothing more) and go pirating! Yaaaarrrrr!!


*H&M states that the stopped dealing with them over a year ago, but where would the fun be in pointing that out. After all they are a multinational company, and those always do what's best for the little man(!)

... He's not even kidding. That's what makes it scary.



 :shock:

Scary mental image anyone?

I am the Queen of the Torrents... you need a torrent PM me and I can hook you up... I know a guy... lol

I'm not totally sure, let me go look at your blog again and I'll get back to ya.


 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Hahahaha.

 :lol:  :oops:  :lol:

Be nice to the boy, now. *cough* After all, he may be a pirate wearing nothing but a Jolly Roger, but he's a pirate wearing nothing but a Jolly Roger who makes my dinner.

Wait... Did that image just get funnier?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Look on the bright side: At least NOW when you see the appalling outfits included, you can be secure in the knowledge that people actually *WEAR* horrible stuff like that.


Yeah, who the hell cares about some children, anyway? What ELSE are the little brats good for, anyway?


Arr! I likes the cut of yer jib.

An the way his jib be pokin out from behind that Jolly Roger just lets us all know exactly what that pirate be made of! Pass the flippin rum!!!!!

Yes, yes you did. :lol:
BUT in reality he kinda favors my hubby (just with longer hair and a bit younger) so the mental image is not as bad as I thought it might be. :D

 






Maz if I were you, I'd be afraid of Pescado admiring my jib.  :lol:

Back to torrents... I seem to be very adept at this (thanks to a few pointers from people in here :D) so now they can just bring on any silly stuff packs and it will go straight to my personal booty!  :twisted:

Incidentally does any of you kings and queens of torrenting have a friendly invite to demonoid.com to spare? I know it's possible to download from there without (thanks to 404 who pointed that out after I had already discarded it  :lol: ) but I feel shut out. *pout*

If not then I guess I'll just have to hang around and wait for the next time they open the gates a tiny bit.

Oh and about Maz' jib... Nahh, not even gonna go there.  :wink:

Why thanks you :)

 
And might I add...


RUN AWAY!!! (in the humble words of Sir Robin the Brave)

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

Ah I love that song  :lol:

I've now got the Spamalot soundtrack on...

*won't mention she was one of the many at the coconut concert in London*

Demonoid only opens registrations once a month now.  I would watch for the next few days to see, since they should be opening it again.  Apparently from what I've read in their forums you have to be a member for a few months to get an invitation code, and I've only been a member for a month.
*feels retarded because I don't know who Sir Robin the Brave or Spamalot is* :D

ETA: Demonoid JUST opened their registrations!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Have you never heard of the wonder that is Monty Python? They were one of Britains biggest and best comedy groups!

http://www.montypythonsspamalot.com/

Spamalot is the musical version (although slightly different) of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

OMG I cannot stand Monty Python...100% cannot stand him.  My husband loves him to death and him and my brother frequently watch those movies.   :evil:

This is SO funny! I knew it had almost been a month and I had checked it a couple of times today "just in case" and then I got your PM! Thanks a billion, I am registered now  :D  :D  :D


Oh and about Monty Python... I am learning to tolerate, but Maz is the one you'd want to talk to about nerdy fandomness  :wink:  :lol:

Hell I hate Catherine Tate, even when she's loved by millions *puke*

um...er...Monty Python is not a "him"...Monty Python is a "they", as in six of the funniest guys who ever lived. Individually or together, they've done great stuff. (John Cleese is a god, Eric Idle is a musical genius, Terry Gilliam is a fantastic director, Terry Jones is a wonderful history show presenter, Michael Palin is an amazing tour guide, and Graham Chapman is dead.)

Catherine Tate: I just discovered her (BBC America played a few of her shows)...she's got decent characters, but they're all one-joke wonders. One show was enough. She just doesn't have the same magic as Tracey Ullman did in her two series.

As far as other English funny people, I'm totally enamoured of Little Britain...HOLY COW that's some funny shit! A few one-joke wonders, but they do great development. And the characters are spot-on.

I loathe Catherine Tate with all the fire in my being.
HOWEVER Tony Blair saying "am I bovvered?" in Children In Need or Comic Relief or whatever it thinks it was was hilarious!
And the only part of Little Britain I find funny is, "computer says no..."
I haven't watched any Monty Python. :cry: But I have watched 'Allo 'Allo. That's funny. And Ab Fab rocked when it was on. ^^

I can't bring myself to watch Little Britain - or Catherine Tate.

When it comes to Sitcoms my favourites include Red Dwarf, My Hero (before Ardal o'Hanlon left,) Father Ted and Men Behaving Badly.

Monty Python = GOOD. Same for Allo Allo.

But I don't watch a lot of telly now. Most of it is utter shite.

Ardel LEFT My Hero?!!!!! Man I loved that program when it showed...My Family's good too.

Yeah...continuing My Hero after O'Haloran left was a mistake. I prefered Father Ted, though...after the first series, My Hero got a bit tiring, I thought.

Same thing with Chef! First series...STUNNING. Second series...good. Third series...a waste. (I am American, and blew away a table full of Brits by exclaiming "Stilton is Cheese One...cow and bug in perfect harmony.")

But my favorite britcom of all time has to be Blackadder...ALL four series, plus specials. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. if Pescado had hair, he'd be Blackadder.

Saffy, "Am I bovvered" is the only memorable line from C.T., IMO.

JMZ: Television here is largely shit too...one of the few saving graces is House, featuring one of the Blackadder boys (Hugh Laurie). Also on the list, not suprisingly, is Bones...where fellow Blackadder alum Stephen Fry has a featured role. That's not to say that the only good American television features Brits...our Law and Order: Criminal Intent is stunning as well. But we have our share of utter crap, to match yours (WTF is up with Footballer's Wives, anyway? What an awful waste of celluloid.)

House is a God!  :D

I agre the stuff packs are stupid. I also agree though on wanting the clothes in this one. H&M is big here in NYC and id say 50% of the clothes i own are from there. However, i dont wish to pay for the pack. I love h&m but not enough to stoop as low as to pay for a stuff pack.

:lol: I thought John Cleese was Monty Python.  :lol:   I love House, and Hugh Laurie!  Law and Order: SVU is pretty good, too.  I liked the original L&O until Jerry Orbach died. :(

It's never Lupus, and everybody lies.

Words to live by.

My favourite Brit show was Blakes 7. To save what little sanity I had years ago, I had to adopt alot of the attitudes from one of the rebels. Sanity is never more scarce than when you are looking for the shit.... Also, I like Monty Python, Doctor Who, and Red Dwarf, among a host of others.... American t v sucks wind most of the time, so now you know why I don't have cable or even an antenna on the roof.... Wonder if that damn fiddler is still up there?? Told him to get down last week and didn't hear anything except an odd wailing and then a heavy bump near the back entrance to the house. Wish that funny smell would go away, too....

AMEN! Gotta love Rowan Atkinson! Mr. Bean, the Movie ("I sit in the corner and look at the pictures") And his character in RatRace ("We are hauling ass.") Very funny guy. The whole BlackAdder series is on my shelf :)

Red Dwarf is another great (also on my shelf) Lister and his 'vinddylu and a brew' and the Cat ("Look big!") (Danny John-jules is where my black cat got the name Danny :) Good stuff.

I also love the short lived US series The Dinosaurs. Wish it was still on and wish they'd hurry the hell up getting the 3 and 4 series out on DVD.

(And yes, Pescado is our modern day Blackadder.  We are his Baldricks.)

LOL, noooooo! Now I smell even more funny... and suddenly I got an urge for tunips.

I have a turnip..it's shaped like a thingy.

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:

*realises that her significant other is most likely gay*

HAH! I told you so! Now gieb yaoi!!

 :twisted:

Yaoi!! *fangirls for the yaoi/shounen-ai*

And David Tennant & Doctor Who = Yes. Rowan Atkinson & Mr Bean = No.

I don't get Mr Bean...but in 5 mins I get to drool over David Tennant, MWAHAHA. So there! ^^

I have the misfortune of next to no encounters with Dr. Who. :(
However this one is great!!: Cybermen vs Daleks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuFuTah4UXw&NR=1)

And MizzKitty, Is it possible to be gay and love breast at the same time? I mean rbig lovely boobies! Mmm....boobies *droll*.
There that should mark me as a man of the hetero persuasion again. BOOBIES!

*runs around showing of his jib*  :lol:

Oh, come now - Mr. Bean - not attractive.

Blackadder the second - yum yummy. Possibly even Blackadder the Third.  There's nothing better than a sarcastic bastard who makes you laugh - as well as he wears all black in the second.

Maybe you just like fat men? Maybe you'd be turned on by Pescado, then, as he has labelled himself Fat Obstreperous Jerk at MATY...

That's scary. I don't want that kind of yaoi!  :shock:



Uhm, not much to see, is there?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

It's a good thing I have no frickin idea what H&M is, so I won't be miserable about not getting this stuff pack/ep?

Well, if you bothered to read the thread then you would have an idea what it is. ;p

I figured it's some kind of clothing line by the first post?
Read the whole thread? Nah, I'm too lazy for that.

H&M is a shop. Crap quality, really. I bought a cardigan there once, it ripped the first time I tried to put it on at home.  :?

But it's like they say, you get what you pay for and they're nothing if not cheap.

You've got good taste ;)

House, Blackadder, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf = Love them all :D

Have you seen the new Teen Style stuff pack? It's almost as bad as H&M. You can get far nicer stuff at MTS2. I hate Maxis textures. I rarely use Maxis clothes, and if I do, I only use the bottoms.

For heavens sake this thread is so old it has mold!

Necromancy is bad, jeeze. GO read the FAQ or lurk .... or something besides resurrecting old threads.

Since this thread is at the top:

WHERE DOES THIS MONKEY COME FROM?! (Yes, Capslock is necessary)

(http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/images/avatars/1609307591463adac56c631.jpg)

Renegade, it's from tokidoki, the LeSportsac collection I think.

Awesome, it's now the PMBD link button on my site XD

To heck with the H & M Pack,

what I would like to see is......


the Sims2 S & M Pack

 :twisted:

can you imagine the ads for it?

Buy the EA S & M Pack you worm!

Lick the leather boot of EA and grovel at your gamestore for S & M Pack!

You will whip yourself if you dont buy the Sims2 S & M Pack!


 :twisted:

For some reason, this reminds me of the hell in a cell match between the Undertaker and Mick Foley. I refer to someone about to go through the roof of the cell and later one being slammed onto a smegload of thumbtacks... owwwww... I'm too tired to do it, sorry. And something itches... gotta change laundry detergents... Tide bad...

DaydreamQueen, it's nice that your reading all the old threads.  It would be nice if you stopped posting in them, though.  

If you want to talk about the new Teen Stuff Pack, there is a thread about it.  Search is your friend.

You might want to reread the FAQ.

Feel free to attack me with cats for adding to this topic, but as it's already been renewed I may as well ask. Am I the only person who didn't get this outfit with their pack? I can't see it in there anywhere.
(http://thesims2.ea.com/images/about/sp5_objrenders/screenshot_29.jpg)

you know, now that I think about it I don't think I've seen it anywhere either... :( it's a shame, I like that outfit.

You two may want to look on SFV. I think someone found the outfit and it had two recolors. I know I have them in my game and I think I got them from there.

It's unlocked somewhere on s2c or MTS2 - they hid it - it's in there, just extract it.  Bastards.

I'm looking on SFV now, I'll try MTS2 after if I can't find it - I love MTS2 but when it comes to the way it's coded, it makes searching for "H&M" hell because it wipes out the & symbol.

If you haven't found them yet they're also here (http://thesims2.ea.com/mysimpage/uploads.php?user_id=8593) on the exchange.

Thanks, I'll head to MTS2. Glad to know I didn't get a dud copy.

ETA: Thanks Minolia, I guess I was writing my post when you posted. :D

Actually, head to the link Minolia gives - that's where the person on s2c put them.

yep, I just found them on SFV with that exchange link :) 3 pretty recolours.

Havn't HM got enough money alredy without advertising on the sims? -.-
Meh, won't make me buy any more clothes there then I alredy do.. Buying clothes is for ppl who doesnt know how to sew. ^^

You can also get them here http://www.mediafire.com/?dmmep1e2znv just in case they get removed off the offical site.


:)

In corporate America, there is no such thing as "enough money". It's a great marketing decision by H&M. It's stupid for EA, but then the tweens they market to anymore will eat anything up.

I "acquired" H&M stuff from *cough* demonoid*cough*

I don't use ANY of the stuff that was in the pack haha.
