Question for the Site community
kaykeyser:
@ DaSpecial1 I'll help you body shop but Im not going to upload any thing for you unless you tell me the artit's name of the mesh you want recolored, show me that the artist said it was ok to recolor the mesh and tell me how to upload the mesh. this is why I don't upload any thing, I can't remember who made what meshes and don't know how to refind the artist to ask if I can upload there work. other things I make I know the artists wishes and there for I can not reupload there work.
but I can link you to what I remember and teach you how to Body shop.
as for the rest of you all I want is for you to spot
My name is (name)
I like to make meshes of (name)
I have (time) hours of free time
I am/ am not taking requests right now
when you see a request say if you'll do it or not
if a request can't be done say why
Im not asking for any thing else. Also some posts Im reading were highly helpfull and I'll take that advice. other posts, misunderstood all or part of what I said but I dont want to start arguments.
I do have a new question, how do I keep track of what artist made what meshes? if I made folders would the game know how to open my made up folders and how to find the downloads if I filled the EA games: sims 2: downloads folder with all kinds of new made up folders?
and how do I ID the names of artists who make meshes? some people sighn there work, other's don't how do I find out who posted what?
and how many websites would let me upload my sims files any how?
DaSpecial1:
Sims2pack clean installer will list them for you. http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/index.php?page=3
and yes all my CC is clearly labeled in subfolders. Huge advantage if you have a glitch or problem with CC and need to locate the conflicting file.
Ty for the offer :) see you're a creator already! ;). Finding body shop is great for now though thanks I'm just enjoying playing the game.

clean installer finds out who made a mesh after its in the downloads folder and the zip or rar file has been deleted?
any how like the other guy said finding body shop means using the version from the most resentr EP
the start up Icon is right along the same menue as the game's start up icon.
once there you want to folow the menues and do things I'll screen shot for you if you PM me,
then have a paint program of some kind ready for the recoloring step.
body shop confuses me way less then SimsPE I need a SimsPE lesson that is more simplified then the tutorials.
if you have a huge Download collection Body shop may take several minuets top open. So dont rush back here with "my body shop won't work"
some frequent body shop problems are
1. wrong version being used
2. you didn't give it time to oppen yet
3. you have cash files laying about.
I always delete my cash or what ever technical name they have, files before running my game.
some day I may screen shot all these thingamagigs and learn the proper names .
any how my PMs always here for you .
to ancienthighway Im looking for things I think are not out there. I have looked on Sims wiki and modthesims 2 and a small handful of WCIF threads, download sites, etc I think what I want has not been created before. and Im looking for all kinds of things like a Fly head, I modded one but I wanted feedback on its quality and never got it, and I want the top half of a sub since the botum half wouldn't be shown since it would be under water, but I want entire complete objects when it comes to sci-fi animals. I also have a number of requests for changing a mesh that exists so it applies to all ages and all genderes I also have a lot of signs I want created but I think I found some one to do those I need to wait yet. also this other person whos helping me cant find a good palce to upload her work so I need a suggestion. over all I have several 100 thing I want some are requests for the same things other people made and I wanted to know what other peoples requests were also passed over.

See, this is what you just don't seem to uderstand. You can ask for something, but you have NO RIGHT to demand that everyone who reads it answer with a yes or no.
If you really want to track all the artists and what they make, then that's your job, not ours. I've answered that too, and you've been given other suggestions here about that. This is exactly the 'high maintenance/I'm entitled' attitude I'm talking about. Look around. If you see an artist that makes stuff of the theme you like, make a note of it. A person's free time can vary from day to day. I know mine does and half the time I don't know how much time I'm going to have to spend on my 'free time' stuff. Personally, I think a person's free time is no one's business but theirs. Just because they have that time, doesn't mean they're going to spend on your requests.
There's a big difference between demanding and requesting. Your posts are filled with "I want" and that is a far cry from asking. It's unreasonable for you to expect every mesher on this site to come to you to report. You can see for yourself what they do.
As for keeping track of who made what, you can create subfolders in your Downloads folder. So you can have a Subfolder for clothing, and then within that folder have it organized into further subfolders by artist. As long as you have NL, your game will be fine. To help you remember what's what when you're downloading things, create a folder on your desktop (or wherever you download your files to) and label it with the artist's name. So if you see a bunch of stuff here from, say, BlooM, create a folder called "BlooM" on your desktop and download all of the files you like into there. Then, you can make a subfolder in your Downloads called "BlooM" or a subfolder called "Clothing" that has a folder within it called "BlooM". Your install path would then be EA Games/Sims 2/Downloads/Clothing/BlooM.
I have a flash drive with back ups of all the files I've downloaded. I also download a picture of the item and stick them both in a file, so I can easily identify something if I need to.

There are many bodyshop tutorials, both on this site and MTS2. I've used the tuts from both sites and they are easy to follow. Some give tips on creating sims others on how to recolor clothing.
