(1/3) > >>

markusonline:
hi there,

i would love to create  'marvines huge bodybuilder' in my sims 2 but somehow it isnt working. i ve downloaded all the meshes from here http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,17933.0.html and here http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,2277.0.html but it is still not working in my game. what is wrong? what can i do to make it work???

i m using the base game without any add-upps.

i hope somebody can tell me the way to create what im looking for.

thanks, markus

If you haven't downloaded any clothing for the HBB, then that's what your missing. Without clothes made specifically for that bodytype, the only time you'll "see" it in game is when the sim you're using it on is in the shower.

markusonline:
but i have downloaded all the different formal and everyday clothes for the hbb and i downloaded underwear and swimwear aswell. but it wont appear in my menu: when i go in the everyday-menu for example, i can see that i ve downloaded 'something' but it is NOT visilble as it should be. when i go there with my mouse, im told that there is the hbb-clothing what i have downloaded, but what u can see is a normal red shirt with green pants. so my clothes-menu is full of red shirts and green pants :))

somehow it seems that i dont have the basic-mesh for the hbb, but i dont understand that, because i believe, that i have downloaded all i need....

It sounds like you're missing meshes. Make sure you have them by going back to the threads from which you've downloaded the clothing and get the mesh again. When you install it, if you get a "this file already exists" message, let it overwrite. If not, then you know you were missing the meshes. :)

ETA: Another possibility is it could be your thumbnails. Have you actually tried clicking on one of the outfits to dress your sim? If so, does it show on your sim fine, or is he dressed in the red shirt/green pants combo? If that works, then go into your Documents>EA Games>Sims 2 folder and empty your thumbnails folder (don't delete the folder, just remove the contents). The game will regenerate new thumbnails for you.

markusonline:
actually i was already going back to the download treats to re-download the meshes again and again a dozen times ... without any sucess. there is no mesh to find that i might have forgotten to download.

i have tried to empty the thumbnails-folder, but this didnt make any difference: i still have lots of red-green everyday-wear and lots of blue sleepling-wear :)

???

there is one thing that is really odd and strange: as u will know u can download the bodybuilder-meshes and some of the clothes at www.modthesims too. when i download there, some of the meshes will work. but only a few. so i can download two or three everyday-cothes  here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=226853 and here http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=225682
these links work fine and will be shown in my game without any problem.
but unfortunately this is not enough for me. a sim that is always running around in the same everyday outfit isnt real fun. anyway, when he will dress in sportswear or undies or formal wear, he will look as a normal sim - that  is simply silly

i also have tried to delete all other downloads from my download folder and installed the whole game new to put the bodybuilder meshes in a fresh and new game. but no sucess. its real s**t :)

any other idea to fix my game??
