No, I believe he was talking about Delphy's download organizer that can be found at MTS2.

Right here crunk, because if you're anything like me, a good link never goes amiss!

Thanks guys! It looks a little complicated to get into tonight, but I've bookmarked it. I found a hair that is obviously missing its colors, as it is a big gaping hole in the top of the sims' head. Other than that nothing too strange.

*goes off to try to find something that actually relates to the thread* :p

I hate it when that happens! Right now I know for certain that I have meshes that don't have recolors, but I'm still having a hard time locating them and getting rid of them.

This thread is making me dread the clean out of my objects folder even more.  And I thought deleting all the sucky hair was a huge task!  Why did I put this stuff in my game in the first place?

Well, I never put in anything quite as bad as the stuff being shown here.  But I have some half-assed things, like b0rked custom beds, that need to go.

I don't have a super computer, but I've never had a problem making, say, the kitchen of a house have reflective floors.  One of my legacy houses has a shiny kitchen.  I don't get the people who decorate everything with them, but one room isn't killer.  Of course, I always try to use the fewest pieces of floor mirror possible.  I'm on a laptop with 2GB ram and a 256MB video card, though, so perfectly adequete specs, but not spectacular.

I've just sorted mine now, looks hella lot better and didn't take too long :]

When it comes to photoshopping previews, I remember Chaz's VictorAndRolf Hair being particularly bad so whacked it in my Downloads folder briefly, and behold!



Look at the image on the right (thats taken in my BodyShop), at the top of the braid there are two hole glitches in the mesh..whereas in the preview picture there is not, in fact it does look like someone has smudged the texture to hide them hrm. Also at the bottom of the braid, the loose hair in the preview picture looks fine whereas in reality its, er, on a weird 3D bit  So again, looks like Chaz got his smudging tool out and hid that in the preview pictures.

 It also looks like he smudged the side of the head where the seam meets the face. It doesn't look as obviously messed with on the right side, but the left is pretty noticeable.

That hair looks like the braided bread you can get at specialty bakeries.

Roffle! 

That's it, I have nothing else to add... except that this thread is win!

Muchos kudos to Millie for coming up with the idea. Cheers, mate! 

[oolongteadrinker]

Can someone explain this to me?
I suspect it has something to do with the rug or the vase's gaps, or transparencies or whatever. I don't know if the reflex rug does the same thing to other objects, but...



??
Now that I think of it, it's not very common that objects are placed on rugs on the reflex screenshots. I could be wrong.
Or maybe it's a problem with the vase and bowl alone?

and into the delete bin this stuff goes!

I think someone should do the whole "preview" vs. in game to show the photoshopping bullcrap to show how they con people to buy. I would volunteer, but I'd be starting from the point where I have no clue which is and which isn't.

Yeah, great Idea. Glad I thought of it muhahahahaha runs from the wrath of Calalily

I tend to use the same things over and over. I've had the sims 2 for almost 2 years and all the crappy things would just languish in there.

But I have things sorted in folders. Surfaces, chairs, hair, etc. Once you have a system, its pretty easy to get rid of all the crap. (also makes it easier to find the buggy files).
