Thanks!  It's very bizarre! How would I do it in simPe?

I recently got asked about how to do this effect in paint.net

Okay now I got this pic. By using hula and more Hack and posing her on hip shot. then using tab I lined her up (takes a while to get it just right sometimes) then once I was happy I hit PrtScn (printscreen button on my keyboard)


I then go into Paint.net and use a new canvas. go to EDIT and choose paste it asks you do you want to expand you canvas make sure you do. and then I have my pic.

you can copy it and follow if you like....



I then have used the selection tool. the dotted square in the top left hand corner of the tools bar (sorry if it is a little easy but I explain EVERYTHING to make sure you get it) then use it to select just above her head and just around her body missing the pause lines.

Then I chose crop to selection in the above toolbar.


I then duplicate the layer by going to the top toolbar and selecting layers. then choose duplicate layers (CRTL+SHIFT+D) You now have 2 layers.

I then want to play with the top layer. We are going to go to effects and use the blur > gauissan Blur to a radius of 5.


We then go to layers on the top toolbar and go to layer properties (F4)
we then finf the drop down menu of MODE we choose overlay (this gives us a nice glow)

we then go back up to layers and choose merge layer down (CTRL+M) we now have one layer that is a good healthy glow I now do a few more things before I am finished.

This is almost the same as in Photoshop! You maybe able to follow a few tutorials yourself!

....

I now go to Adjustments and play with brightness and contrast. I usually just fiddle until it looks good.
I put mine at 40 and 25


Go to effects and go to photo and sharpen you pic (somewhere between 5 -10 is good)

Now if you are happy we are finished we just need to resize.

Go to the Image menu on the top toolbar and choose resize image. Make sure you follow contest rules usually 600 x 600 is the biggest size don't go under 400 if you can help it!

I recently added teen style to my collection since installing my sims have all swapped names or automatically changed names (adults, teens, elders, toddlers and children only) not babies.  Can anyone help me to rectify the weird situation?
:sad4:

I have all EP's up to Seasons (pets isn't installed though)

mY names are all wacko now some sims names have changed but I will try this!

Just watch what graphics card you have the NVidia has problems (i know I have one)  just  to let you know your screen will go ble but hang on!  also check out the nvidia site too about this problem!

Now all my stuff is there but all my sims names have gotten mixed up!

yep!  I re installed the seasons patch and all seems okay now.  Weird!!!!!

works now with insim (other problems now though)

I recently added teen style stuff to my sims collection and it has now caused all my furniture, lights, trees and stuff to flash blue any suggestions?

I have sims2, uni, pets (not installed) OFB, plus a few stuff packs!

:tongue3:

I got an AMD Athalon 64 x2 dual core processor 6000+ 3.01GHZ 2047MB RAM, on a 32 bit operating system and my sims runs fine (unless I do something to it like upload new stuff pack without backing up)

Just a question does it happen automatically or is it something to do with insimenator?
