Cool Finds for Contests!

[Dese]

I was wondering if anyone could show me where to download horses that sims can sit on? I've seen them in people's contest entries before.

Dese there are these horses , but they are not extremely realistic (they are like chairs). How do you want your sims sittting on the horse? There are some other ways to make them look like they are riding the horses. Let me know and I'll try to help.

There's the car horses at MTS2 as well...

Found the horses over at MTS2 here, took awhile.. they were 13-14 pages in.

The only thing I don't like about those is the sim's facial expresions for story telling. I usually try to have them sitting and use the sitting/talking hack to give them expresions them move them to horse. Sometimes it works sometimes.. well lol. I just don't like their blank expresions. If you have some surface that is invisible that you can place your sims on top of, you can probably use the more realistic horses. A little moving around and camera angles it should work too, just an idea.

Sorry about the double post. Does anyone know where I can get the Llama mascot head as an accesory? Not a hat but the whole head? I been looking for it but I only find the ones that the sims face shows... does anyone know?

Franciele--I don't know about the llama, but have you tried Shaklin's Model Animation Changer? It's a flamingo that lets you pick your sim's facial expressions. Might work for the horse.

Ahhh I tried to get that mod once but I think the link was dead so I never got it. Coool!! Thanks.

I know this has been asked...but could someone explain to me on how to do the model walk that you see in a lot of the pics? I think its fantastic, and I cannot for the life of me turn it off.

Also, how do you turn off the little video's whenever someone get engaged/married/having a baby? I notice people get great pics when someone is proposing...and I don't know how to turn it off. Its probably a stupid question...I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way? Thanks for your help in advance!

The walk is set using shaklins mod that's listed a couple of posts above. I think there's an option for the sims to walk normal again using it.

The videos are the special event camera in game, I think. It should be under options and you can turn it off there.

Has anyone mentioned Murals yet? They are excellent backdrops for contest photos! Our own Hafise is AMAZING at creating them!

I heart Hafise's murals. they can really make your pic come alive.

[Dese]

I think they are great because they make it less of a necessity to have photoshop for some contests, and that's really helpful for a lot of people.

Maybe you could find it your folders, it's a Maxis creating, it also shows in debugging mode.

Thanks Dese! You have been really helpful! I will play around with it!:iconbigg:
