I was thinking the elf look as I call it, or your "girlyguy" is very popular in poser. For me its like I tend to have sims in a mishmash of styles in game, guys, girlyguys, girls lol you get the picture...I've thrown makep on my guys too. I like to experiment. Its fun. i don't have a set way how girls look, I wish they would have some meaner tomboyish ones out there. I get tired of High fashion beauties. Lately excepty for my favorite custums, most often, I just makeover all the default characters. That is so much fun . KOmei Tellerman, and Kennedy Cox are the villians in my game, dont do much with them. Brandon Lilliard he's fun and always ends up in the center of action.

My son tried to subscribe (thinking that the items on "free" sites would be exactly that, free, if he got a "free" subscription from simshost, the only way to get any items from any of the sites). The site requires extensive personal information from you when you join (real name, address, etc), whether you intend to use your credit card or not. And they do not delete accounts even if requested, it seems.

Cross dressing for guys is obviously way beyond wonderful to some parts of the community, but crossing for chicks is non-existent. I would really love to see - but am quite certain I never will - male clothes meshes converted for females, so that female sims can actually cross dress. I've used SimPE to change the clothes on occasion, but I'm no mesher and thus the sims have to walk around with severed heads floating above their necks.

she is one of many creators who specifically say that they don't like female sims or want their things used on female sims (some even specify no fat sims and refuse to make the "fat morph" on their meshes)....and I think all of them would throw the same "hissyfit" if something happened to one of their precious male meshes.

Well, as far as intellectual property and copyright, according to Australian law, which is where I am, intellectual property recognition doesn't apply to artistic works, and any artistic design work must be copyrighted in order to allow for a legal protection of ones' rights.  

Retaining copyright also allows you to license others to reproduce and modify that work (which is what EA is doing for cc in the EULA).  I would like to see others try to license (a bit like pyramid selling there  :lol: )

As for the whole intellectual property argument, it's the same in my field - when I write a journal article, someone else can quote and reference me (if they don't reference me it's plagiarism) but I can't stop anyone from using my work - that's what research is built on.  And I certainly can't stop someone in a library from reading or photocopying my work (under the fair use policy) - there could be millions of copies all over the world of my work, and I can't do anything about it, unless they plagiarise (which just ruins your academic career, and little more).  Nor do I want to do anything about it.

I'm sorry I can't give the whole world wide definition, but I'll try to familiarise myself with international treaties and law.

Yup, we got that over here in Australia aswell, it came with a computer games magazine if I recall correctly and I loved it because I only had nasty dial-up way back then so downloading stuff for sims1 was an extreme chore.  I'd say a dvd like that one is aimed at ppl who are on dial-up and suffer that exact issue.

The pictures on the cover are Maxis screens that are in your neighborhood folder.  That person didn't take a single one of those in game.  Nor are any of them from websites.

At least its an actual skin and not photopasted, though I kind of wish it was... :?

I counted the number of sites on this server. There were about 20 or 30, of which about 50% were uninhabited stubs consisting of a single front page peddling drugs and other dodgy products and services.
