Question for the Site community
Skye:
Okay, so I answered your similar message on ss2, and after reading this I must answer.
I am a creator. I create Celebrity Sims. I am also a grandmother, which also makes me a mother. Thus, Real Life. One of my kids is 11, the other one is 21. We also have a HUGE family, with lots of drama that also goes in there as well!
Recently my computer has gone fried because of a lightening storm, so I am not able to get in here as much as I would like to.
When I Was able, I was up to my eyeballs in requests. Now I'm good (semi-compared to some of these awesome creators!), but I'm Not quick! I want it done well. I have waded through all those requests, and Have done a few that hadn't been done before. Some celebs or real people refuse to be done--that is, they are a mite harder because the Bodyshop couldn't do THAT nose or whatever.....this is what we're up against. We're not sure of what is going to be tough to make until you ask for it.
When we ask you to learn the mesh craft, it is because the community needs More meshers. They simply cannot keep up with the demands put on them....or they just don't know How to do that certain part you need.....Most of us have found something we needed; and just found a way to make it ourselves.
I do hope this answers your questions. And in the future you will be kinder to those you want something from. Add a little patience to that request, then a little more, then a little more patience. If you demand it, or get nasty, you will wait that much longer for your request.
(Breaktime! Whew! That was one tough sim!)
Sincerely,
Skye

I see my kitty isn't the only one that uses a keyboard for a chaise lounge... 1dreamy 1titter (pardon the interruption) ...advice continues
Kay you're more advanced than me—I haven't even found body shop yet :-[ 1dunno :-[ 1whistle.
ETA: Yep totally serious, 1giggle Thanks a bunch for the info Skye. I really appreciate that answer to my duncey question.
I never asked before because:
1. I was busy playing (new to the game) 2. I haven't a clue what it does (too busy simming 1yahoo) & 3. too lulzily embarrassed :-[ 1DOH(yes I conjugated lulz) to ask.
& finally I'll add #4 just for good measure:
I figured it was something I hadn't looked up or read. I really do read threads and search and didn't want to waste anyone's time with an "i'm curious but havent searched enough (or at all really) type of question. Which is why I seriously do thank you for thanking time to answer. I really don't want to encourage anyone to be lazy but think this is an excellent example of how sometimes people do take the time to answer even embarrassingly silly questions that noobs like me didn't know.
On that note I think good advice would also be to read questions similar to your own as well as the FAQ's. On occasion when I haven't received a response I've found the exact answer I needed in someone else's question/thread.

In answer to your question about who makes what or who might be interested in making something, the best answer I think anyone can give you is to look at what they've done. There are several creators that have made the build and bodyshop items necessary for a sci-fi world, fantasy world, medieval world and superhero world. I know there's some videos on YouTube where a simmer recreated parts of the movie, The Titanic. There's speeders from Star Wars out there. There's flying saucers. There's space shuttles similar to Star Trek shuttles. There's tutorials for making what approximates a curved roof.
Do you need an interior of everything or just specific compartments? Do you need a complete exterior or just enough of an exterior to suggest the whole thing is there? Once you find the little pieces, can you put them all together to suggest the big seemingly impossible whole?
Again, browse the web to see who makes what and make note of things that you can use to create the visual effects of what you want.

Seriously?
You can find it this way: Start, then EA Games, then find your latest game, and you'll find Bodyshop right under that one!
hugs,
Skye

I've avoided saying this, but it just keeps popping back into my head.
At one time I tried to do as many sim requests as I could and help out in the Help sections on every thread. The more I did, the more people would come back and be disrespectful to me and what I do. I saw that happening to others who freely gave their time to help someone make their game they way they wanted it. It no longer was fun or rewarding for me so I stopped.
I started modding because I couldn't find any game mods that made it harder to achieve the LTWs. I would get bored as soon as a family got 10k in the household budget, mommy and daddy both achieving permaplat status, blah blah blah. So I learned what I needed to to make my own mods or modify someone else's mods that enabled me to play my game. The only requests I'll consider is for a mod that would fit into my game play.
I regularly look at the mod requests here to see if there's something I'd be interested in doing. I see some requests that I could do, but don't fit my game, so I pass them by. I see some ridiculous requests that can't be done and everyone jumping on the "me too" band wagon. But it doesn't matter how many people think it is a great idea, it's just not possible from my point of view and many other modders point's of view. I've learned it does no good to tell people it's not possible, so I've stopped telling them.
One of the nice things about this site is Squinge has a request section here for mods. One of the bad things about this site is Squinge has a request section. If some thing is requested in that section, Squinge may do it or he may never get around to it. But just by it being in that section, the few modders that come by here won't even look at it. Some creators also have or had request sections. But if the request doesn't fit them, it just hangs there and nothing gets done. But if you have a creator in mind that has done the type of objects/recolors/mods/whatever and you think what you want fits their style, ask in their request thread or with PMs or in the general requests threads with a PM asking them to take a look at the request.
ok, I'm rambling more than anything now...that's all folks.
