Ok, Carla Niven sucks. But what about Simchic?

[Stephsim]

Yeah Simchic is hit and miss - I do like some of their stuff but others like that outfit you posted are horrible. While they aren't as bad as Niven there are many free sites that make better clothes.
I mainly collect their stuff for sharing purposes rather than to put in the game.

[Cherry Lips]

I like some of their stuff... about 5% of the site. When I found PMBD, I went to SimChic to see what could I download from donation section, cause everyone said i's a great site, but I ended up downloading nothing.

They're not as horrible as Carl though. But I think they should be free, considering the quality.

I rarely make my sims actually *swim*, I'm more likely to just take them and bring them to the beach to eat sandwiches, play darts and stay with friends. And what's wrong in going to the beach wearing heels? I mean, I do that.

Wouldn't you get stuck in the sand and be eaten alive by the beach crabs? I mean, crabs normally pose no threat to people because you can easily outwalk them and they don't do enough damage on their own to threaten you, but if you were get stuck in the sand because of those stupid heels, you wouldn't be able to kick them away, and they'd swarm over you and eat you alive in small bits slowly and painfully.

I use simchic nails simply beacause the mts2 nail mesh is shiny, and they re aren't alot go realistic non-designed textures for the mts2 nails.

If someone could remove the shine, then i would sue them

You're talking about the long nail mesh by shadylady?  It's not shiny.  I'd use a shiny mesh before I'd use one that was all f'd up anyway.  Quality comes first.

[snadradeocconer]

Oh, yeah i use the shadylady one, and for some odd reason, they come out looking shiny for me, but maybe i should sue them, the simchic one leaves this little weird mark that you can see when you have your sim click on something.

Only on Christmas Island.

I am so tired of seeing sleepwear and swimwear meshes with deformed high heels.. like who goes to bed wearing their shoes and I definately do not wear heels to go the beach, unless it's a stroll at night along a boardwalk or something and even then it would not be my first choice of footwear.

That irritates me too! SimplyElau and I think MissCutipie also create such meshes. High heels ruin perfectly nice swimsuit.

[Helena]

I've made a swimsuit with a heels once, but actually I do not consider it to be a swimsuit, it is sort of a stripper costume, that's why I made it with heels.

[Pescado]

Yeah, but in most cases it's pretty easy to lop them off and render it into a regular swimsuit, even for one as lacking in skills of an artist as myself. All you need are the select tool, the delete button, and sometimes the flood fill tool.

[Quorneater]

Wouldn't the mesh still have them on tiptoes?

It's pretty trivial to revert such things back to the standard Maxis mesh, though.

[Doursim]

It's not a lot of work, but some meshes have different proportions in the hips/waist.  Lines that match a slim mesh will look royally retarded on the frumpy maxis nude.

SimChic’s not my kind of a place to ‘shop’, but since BlueSoup’s obvious distress and sulky comments made me curious, I had to see what was so bloody awful about them. Stupid me! No wonder Soup's so bloody grumpy.

So... I skipped the clothing parts and went straight to the furniture files - only to see some blurry... blurries! Cute, but retina tiring. Batman help us if they ever decide to photoshop some whirly and glittery things upon them. Honestly, what is with the pay-sites making the preview pictures so terribly small?

Ok, boys, pop quiz, how many items can you count? Supposed number: 17. I got something around... thirteen (!?) and this is the only piccie they offer.



Since everything was ultramodern rubbish apparently anyway, I didn’t even bother to fire up the booty and had some rendezvous with the celebrity fashion don’ts.

Glitter is something that should be never simmified.

I’m scared.

[wicked_one]

you werent counting the "decor" items on the shelves?
rug, plant, sofa, loveseat, 2 bookcases, 2 paintings, "sideboard", and the little decor items that serve no real purpose...thats where they got the "17".
I wouldnt even download that if it were free...and I've seen almost the exact same thing on free sites.
