A fashion designer? I think she's in the wrong business, unless of course she was going for the Peggy Bundy look. Those aren't even pretty. And most the clothes on her website even in the previews body parts are coming through the clothing. She doesn't even try to hide it.   :shock:

Look at the ribbon on the first dress, it doesn't even look like a ribbon, no separation. It looks like it's part of the dress like it's supposed to be  the bra area. Second dress look at the hem. The borders of the dress. Third outfit look at the holes by the lace, shall I go on? etc....etc...and those are just the obvious things. Never mind the shading or lack of shading in the natural body folds of the body. Over pleating.

Horrible isn't it? And I agree about everything you said. I mean like wtf? she most likely knows she shouldn't seal the stuff, and yet she does. At least make the clothes look good not like rags stitched together and make it seem like its the hottest thing around!

Yah, there is a lolipop here.  Is that the same lolipop?  I hope not.

Yes. I believe she is Netseeker's friend? Or that she said she got banned from TSR when she did a search for Netseeker? Not sure.

I can guarantee this lolipop is not our lolipop...and if it is, we're gonna haev a talk, missy! LOL

But Oy. Just what we need....another shitty clothing designer charging for pixels we've seen a million times before.

Post by: keirra on 2007 September 24, 23:48:55
Thanks for the clarification, Hecubus.  It would suck if they were one in the same.

I can see lollipop being a popular username.  Lollipop's are yummy.  :D

WOW! That's going to hurt my name! :shock:

NO THAT IS NOT ME! :evil:

The only thing I know how to make is walls and floors!
And I live in Michigan! I couldn't spell like that if I wanted to!

My apologies, Lollipop.  I wasn't accusing you (I hope you didn't interpret it that way) I just thought I remembered seeing the name and couldn't remember in what context.  

Glad to here it is not you, that shit is horrible.  I wouldn't let my enemies wear that...ok I'd probably let Jan wear it.  :lol:

LOL! I will be ok! I hope:cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry: LOL...!

Actually, I haven't had this much attention in a long time! Kinda injoying it! :lol:
I make walls and floor and I'm not even good at that :lol:
My stuff is at Insim-lollipop69
And MTS2-lollipop69_69
If you want to have a look.


Title: Another One... ?!?
Post by: Duckie on 2007 September 25, 00:24:04
As far as I know, it's not the same Lollipop. The one here uploads to MTS2. (http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=1035503) Not a Peg Bundy outfit in the bunch. In fact, no outfits at all. She does mainly walls and floors. :)

ETA: Late to the party. LOL!


Title: Another One... ?!?
Post by: mickey on 2007 September 25, 00:48:08
Yup, glad thats not her. =) lol. But yeah, I think this shit deserves to be trashed. Either make it free or remove it forever from our sights.

I'm certainly not going to cry about one paysite ripping off another.

As I said before, if someone can't make their stuff look good after photoshopping the hell out of it, I certainly won't even be tempted to buy it.

What is this person thinking subjecting people to craptastic clothing like that? If anyone paid $3.00 for that I'd have to slap some sense into them. Those are horrible.

Gotta admit, you do have a point.  If forced to choose between them, I'd take the set in the OP.

Agreed, T.  She has yet to achieve such a level of outlandish suck - there's nary a laser-eyed skank from space to be seen.  Yet.

Tho her site skills are wretched, can't hardly read the black type on dark red.  And why is the first page written in WingDing?   :?

You actually want me to look at the site?  Are you nuts?

My guess is that she's using some strange font that most of us don't have on our computers. And I don't believe that many will be bothered to find out what font she used and download it.

Y'know, there's nothing wrong with using Helvetica, Arial, Times Roman, or even Courier on a site. And I happen to like Verdana the best. Not fancy, but these older eyeballs of mine can read it better. Even if it's black on red.

EDIT: Re her MySpace page: Egads! Now I need an ear-wash as well as eye bleach, too.

Now go buy those songs! Rush! Rush! She's "retiring" soon!

Thanks, Silver - that explains it.  I thought it was Cyrillic at first glance - I need my old eyes examined.

I had exactly one semester of a web design class, and one of the first things we were told was not to fark with the fonts unless they're part of a jpeg or gif image.  Straight text should be any of those you listed, usually Times Roman or Arial (I like Verdana too).  Limited maybe but infinitely legible.

And not gunna show up in WingaDinga.  :lol:

Another was aim for 6 second load time max for 56 kbpblahblahblahs...that's it, I'm going back to school!

The fur outfit is overly bumpmapped and it's looks like plastic. A lot of free creators do that, but at least they're not asking for money. I truly believe I could do a lot better than that, and I'm not a pro.

Ah! Also, she doesn't know how to code her way out of a box, and the stuff looks all MS-Painty. She's a run for Carla Niven's money!


Title: Another One... ?!?
Post by: calalily on 2007 September 25, 08:55:12
She's actually put the font in Wingding - is she insane?  I thought maybe she made a mistake in her coding, and it ending up as wingding - but she chose that!

Here's what it actually says on the front page:

Yay! Bottom line, her site sucks. Period. Worse than TSR and Carla Niven thrown in.

I disagree, pinksmoke. Nothing is worse than Cardrew.  Nothing.

Is it just my aged eyes, or is the second model wearing seamed stockings  that have been put on backwards?

I thought I went a little crazy with the black eye makeup. Sheesh! Did she have to put it on all the Sims? What's wrong with neutral tones once in awhile.

The first dress is very...messy. Like she slapped it together in five minutes. The zebra background is also poor choice (besides being a paysite.) Too busy and distracting (for me anyway.)

I stand corrected.  She did indeed code her front page in Wingding! I should have checked the source code, but I guess I gave her the benefit of the doubt, too, and simply thought that she used an "exotic" font.

What on earth .... ?

Woah, is that supposed to be a ribbon on the first dress? o.o I thought it was supposed to be a ruffled bust (Still horribly made) until someone pointed out it was a ribbon... Ewy.

I was just curious what the hell font she did use - I have about 550 on my PC - so I figured it had to be really obscure if I didn't have it.  Turns out it was one I had after all  :lol:

And her subpages have names like "title" and "page 2.html" Hee!  :lol:
And WTF is with the zebra stripes. One should never use the same texture for everything, just because you threw it together in one sitting.

Maybe she is just a BEGINNING fashion design student. Tim Gunn would eat her alive!! (For those of you who don't watch Project Runway, the divine Tim Gunn is the big cheese at the Parsons School of Design and has his own show.)

Good sims 2 creators don't let shitty sims 2 creators do drugs and create at the same time.

Makes me just want to send people like that a boatload of those Art Institute "Can you draw me" brochures, saying here, TRY THESE FIRST!
