Not a problem- I am pretty sure that Snarky's stuff is okay to use in lots as long as they are not going on a paysite (esp TSR) or the Exchange. He has been around a bit lately, you might try pm'ing him about it since he has not uploaded his creator profile at Sailfinsims yet.
Feel free to use what you want in your lots, TapThatBooty.
I tried to pm you yesterday to tell you as much, but your inbox is full. Glad to know you're getting some use from that set. Incidentally, taking the blanket off that Maxis sofa was one of the prime motivators for me learning how to use Blender.
(thanks, dstar)
Thank you both of you. Snarky, I have to say that I love all your stuff. You were actually one of the first creators I set out to get all the replacements for after my computer died. Everything you have made has been really gorgeous and fits in with all the Maxis stuff (not everyone likes Maxis' style, but I loved it). Anyhoo, before I write you a big massive essay on how awesome you and your stuff is, I'll stop . I'm going to download the age converted hairs and fire up the game for a session of building. EDIT: Forgot more Baaaaa-ness. Moune, your latest set is lovely and I would have to say that it is my favourite set you have done yet, the style and the colors are really nice. Excellent job.

Hi Snarky, is there another place to find this sofa set? My computer died on me the other week there and couldn't get fixed so I had to go back to my old one, which I didn't have The Sims 2 on. All my downloads are lost and I am currently getting all my fave stuff at the moment. This set happened to be one of them, I really hope there is somewhere to get this from, I loved it and used it often. Also, the stuff you made, what is your policy on using it for houses to put up for download? I am wanting to get back into making things and I just want to be clear on where you stand on that. The only places I would be putting houses up on would be here (via mediafile or something) or MTS2.

I've suffered from manic-depression since I was 13. When I was 16 I was put onto anti-depressants. I was on them for about 11 months until I decided that enough was enough. I couldn't handle the zombie-like state I was in constantly. I felt as though I had been raped of all emotions. It seemed like it was just as much effort to slap a fake smile on my face as it was to be expressionless. When I took myself off them, I welcomed the flooding of dread and misery that I had before I was put on the meds. It was a relief to be honest, just to feel something. And when the highs came, I grasped them and rode it until the low came. I'm 21 now and still suffer from manic-depression, but I can cope with it now. I'm in a big low right now, which is what usualy happens when I am stuck for a period of time with nothing to occupy my time, IE, college finished in June, add that to other stuff going on in my life and it is a bad combination. However hard it is now, and no matter how hard it is to remember the good times, I somehow manage to keep a hold of something that keeps me from going right under. I'm not gloating or anything about that, but I just know how my mind works completely now that I know what will set me off, when to expect something to drag me down and to go by my instincts on things that has the potential to completely destroy everything I've worked towards to be able to maintain something that keeps my head above water. It has it's drawbacks though, I find it hard to connect to people. I see the world through science, meaning that I have to rationalize everything so that I can understand it myself. Further distancing me from people, it seems that the world doesn't like people who will use their brains. Good things about it though is that I know that I should always keep my mind active, one way or another. I do a lot of arty things, painting, sculpting, stuff like that. So I usualy have something on the go with that. Or I will sit and study for hours. I know that we are "supposed" to switch off and become bored with studying, but I don't. I don't know if that means that there is something wrong with my brain or not, but I'm not complaining. I refuse to watch TV, I find it dull and repetitive, there is nothing that I can gain from it. People think that I am a freak because I WON'T sit for hours and watch the idiot box. It is a choice and I chose not to, I would rather do something productive with my time, that will benefit me in the long run. Am I obese or overweight? No, far from it. I think that it would be impossible to make a collective group of gamers and say that they will fall within this category or that one. There are so many gamers from so many different walks of life it is unreal. And I find it impossible to believe that the person who wrote that article has never picked up a game in their life or doesn't play something right now. It is perfectly normal for someone to go off into their mind and imagine what the world would be like if such a thing were to happen. What the writers seemed to have forgot is that is pretty much how games come to be, but someone daydreaming or using their imagination and coming up with a story and making it a reality. You don't see people jumping all over your classical composers such as Mozart or Beethoven or artists like Da Vinci, who really made what they had in their mind into something tangible. No, they praise them, they encourage people to listen to them, banging on about how you will become more intelligent for listening to them. It wasn't so long ago that surgeons were encouraged to play computer games as they helped to develop hand/eye co-ordination. I'm gonna stop there or I won't stop. For those who read that, thank you , for those that didn't, no "thank you" for you, because you wouldn't have read to this point .

I'm shocked that it is still there too . From what people are saying on that, there are a few others on there that seem to be aware and unhappy with EA, I say that like we should be suprised hehe. EDIT. It would appear that the thread has been taken down now *rolls eyes*.

My next project should be a mod that makes the buffet table less frickin' attractive. that's how they got so fat. lol. The night before the first day of school, their dad had a fundraiser, and even though their hunger was full, sure enough, every time they finished a meal, they went back for a new plate. but I'm getting off topic.
I've not had any issues with the school, so all is good . I've never used the buffet table yet, so I'm not sure how it works. I've only just managed to get the game to stop crashing to desktop after ten minutes of play, so I'm still figuring things out lol.

Cynt, that is a massive improvement on the top. I really love the color of it, it makes me think of Fall, and wine . The flower is also a big improvement too. It looks nice from the long shot, but a but blurry close up. If you are going for the knitted in look, then it looks ok, but try and make it more sharper. It seems a little alone on the top, I'm trying to think of something that will bring it more into the whole top, instead of just being on the chest. Maybe a stem or a couple of loose petals or something, something that makes it belong on the top instead of being there, if that makes sense? I feel really bad about criticizing your work, please don't take it personal .

CYNT!!! . I do like that top, and for a first recolor, it is really nice. But I would suggest adding a few more details here and there. Maybe where there could be a different stitching to the neck and collar area, change the flow of the fabric, so that instead of it being horizontal, it is vertical. Add some more detail to the shoulder joints too. I can see where you put the flower, and I think it would be a nice little touch to the top, but make it more dominant, please don't take this the wrong way, but at the moment, it looks like a stain on her top, again, I don't mean that in a bad way . All that being said, you have done a better job that I could probably do, I've never really tried much with recoloring .
