Hello: My weeks of searching turned up nothing and I tried the WCIF with no luck. So here I am hoping someone would be willing to make one or perhaps two. I would like to request a toothpick for between the lips. One for the left side and one for the right side. Not sure how difficult this will be, I have seen some cigarette meshes out there but unfortunately I myself have no skill in that department and SimPE hates me 95% of the time. ^_^ So I am hoping that someone who has skills in the meshing department would be willing to make it. I found a few pictures, I looked for better ones but its surprisingly difficult to find pictures of people with a toothpick in their mouth.

Thank you and have a great weekend.

Hello:
I have searched the forums, google, and a ton of other websites and could not seem to find the answers I am looking for. So I am hoping someone here can help me.

I have recently begun to make my own clothing, and have been experimenting with different things. I think for the most part I am getting the hang of GIMP and Bodyshop, thanks to one of the great tutorials here at Insimenator.

I recently went to make an outfit, and went through tons of clothing in bodyshop looking for an outfit that would work, and I quickly realized I did not have one that would work. I read somewhere, it all becomes a blur after a while, that I could simply modify the mesh (Maxis One) by coloring white or black with the paintbrush tool depending on what I wanted to do.

I found a Maxis mesh, did my coloring, got my outfit all in place, imported it to the game and it looks great.

However it brought up a few questions for me I had not expected it too. I have not decided yet if I will be submitting these outfits for upload, but I have considered it. This is what brought about the questions I started to have.

Considering for this particular outfit I altered a Maxis Mesh, if I did decide to upload it for everyone to share would it work in other peoples games. I used a maxis mesh, and in doing so I just altered the mesh with GIMP. I did not go into the whole complicated Milkshape, UVMaps, this and that stuff I have been reading in some of the meshing tutorials.

When I export it from bodyshop it is of course a bmp file, when I import it, it becomes a package does the 'modified' maxis mesh become part of the package as well?

Would I have to zip file the project folder and submit it to make sure that it would work for anyone else if I upload it?

Or would the package file, containing the outfit, suffice?

Its confusing, I did not think altering a maxis mesh would bring up such questions for me, but seeing I have been considering uploading my creations this has come up as a potential issue and I would be greatful if someone knew the answer or where to find the answer. Because right now, if I submitted it, I don't know if it would work in someone elses game even though it works fine in mine.

I am sorry I do tend to get long winded, thank you in advance.

Hello:
I recently got a new computer with Windows Vista, ATI Radeon 2400 HD PRO. It plays all of my games perfectly, no lag, no framerate issues, no graphics problems, etc with all of the games I have and play....with an exception.

Sims 2 (Sims 2, University, Nightlife, OFB, Seasons, Freetime) there has been an issue that seems graphical in nature however it only seems to happen to some of the clothing items and not all of them. It also seems to effect some of the regular maxis clothing not just the downloads.

I have included a picture its not very good, I can get a better one if need be. Basically as you can see, when the clothing is equipped the skin "glitches" out and it looks like pieces of it have been cut out. I have no idea what this is or how to fix it.



It only happens to the female clothing. I have tried deleteing the clothing and the meshes and reinstalling them. That did not work. I switched default skintones, that did not work. I updated my video drivers and display items for ATI and that did not work.

It does not effect all female clothing items, only some of them. It also effects both downloads and maxis clothing items.

Please if anyone has seen this before and has any idea what might fix it, I would appreciate the help.

Thank You.

P.S. I should also mention that it does not cause any crashes, lagging, or anything of that nature its more just a visual annoyance that I can not seem to fix.
