Does anybody know how to make custom content for the sims life stories? People keep leading me to sites like this that only give me customs for the sims2 and nothing for sims life stories! IT'S ANNOYING ME!

the reason people keep "leading" you to sites with content for Sims 2 is because there is no custom content sites for Life Stories yet as far as I know. You download cc for sims 2 base game and use it in life stories. Read the stickies up top and good luck.

Your forgetting about the Life Stories site! It does have a few objects just for Life Stories.

JBfashions - When downloading stuff for Life Stories, stick to TS2 based stuff.  Nothing that needs expansions. I have it, and almost nothing that requires an expansion pack works.

yes that is true, however there is only like 5 things. there is no site like MTS2 or Insimenator, that I can find, that makes specific content for Life Stories. One can use, like you state, content made for the base game or content made on a new mesh (some of them). You can use Simpe or Simpe Wizards to recolor base game objects, if you know which ones are base game, to use in Life stories and you can use Body shop to recolor hair, makeup, eyebrows, clothes etc. and trial and error will let you know which ones will work in the game. You move these recolored objects into your downloads folder in Life Stories. Objects on Paladin's website seem to all work in the game.

Simpe wizards wont work when i try to recolor my objects. Whatta I do?

You have to open up the main SimPE program; click on Extras then choose preferences; go to File Table tab. Un-check all the Sims 2 EPs and stuff packs. Check whichever Sims Stories you have. Click OK. In Object Workshop, click Start. Choose the Sims Stories items you want to recolor. However, when you save the recolor (and you won't be able to do everything you want) do not save it to your regular Sims 2 download folder. Save it to the downloads folder in your Sims Stories game. If you are not familiar with SimPE, maybe you can use Wizards of SimPE instead. After you change the settings as indicated above in SimPE, close it and open up Wizards and see if you want is available to recolor. That is all I know.

Almost all of the mods/custom TS2 skins that I tried from both InSim sites & MTS2 work.  I've found when they didn't it was usually because I had not loaded the mesh or the mesh updates and skins in the right order, or something like that.

Ironically none of the dl on the sims lifestories website work for me. Including the welcome packs.

Thanks so much for explaining how to start with SimPE. I'm going to try that Wizard.
