LOL....Marvine your response made me laugh because it sounded like you weren't sure if I was playing with a full deck of cards lol. I did go back to all the tutorials that I have tried and you were right I just used object creating tutorials but that is only because when I would go to the milkshape help that is what I would find. I did go to MTS2 and found a ton of tutorials to try so I am off to experiment. Thank you for the help Marvine.

I just have to say this....the people on this site are just so nice and helpful, it's really refreshing to see.:starsmiley:

:cat:

O.K. I have downloaded everything in the list of programs I will need for meshing. I have found many, many tutorials for using the SimPe and MilkShape3D. However I don't think that after trying more than a handful of them that I have been helped by them. I simply want to make body shapes like for example bigger boobs or something, outfits like ball gowns or suits and hair. So far after trying several tutorials I feel I am exactly where I started...clueless.

For one thing I would like to know how to select a mesh that is already in the game or that I have downloaded and tweak it a bit. So far I have managed to make the plane from the plane tutorial that I downloaded from MilkShape but that is about it. lol

I do find that the tutorials with lots of screen shots of what I should be seeing on my screen very helpful, however none have helped me to grasp the concept of how to create any of the above mentioned items.

Could someone please help me here....with school and work I don't have much free time but a lot of the free time that I do have I have dedicated to learning this and I have been trying for weeks now with little results. I would appreciate any help.:dontknow:

Thank you for the help Marvine. I have obtained everything on the list and now it's time for me to start experimenting.lol Though it will probably take me a while but I am definitely going to try to make time for it. Thank you again.

Thank you for the post beosboxboy I was glad to find info on how to make a mesh. However I wanted to know if I am supposed to get all these programs and if not which ones would you definitely recommend for someone who doesn't have any of them. lol  I also wanted to know if these programs will work for creating hair styles and eye shapes. When you create a new skin tone or eye shape for example, does it get passed down to the next generations? If not is there a way to do that? Finally will they be useful for creating custom skins and objects? I know I am asking a lot of questions but I have been downloading for a while and I decided to get myself in the mix so to speak. lol  

It seems like fun and rewarding but can you answer me this....is it really time consuming in your opinion? Unfortunately college doesn't leave me much free time anymore so I might have to divide my free "Sim" time into chuncks. lol

Thanks in advance for any help it's appreciated.

You guys made me laugh so hard at all the mean ways you torture your sims. I'm not in the habit of torturing my sims but one of the meanest things I ever did was to a maid. The maid had come by to clean and a little later the mother in that particular home gave birth so I saved the game. Apparently there was a glitch and the maid wouldn't leave. He just kept crying and peeing on himself and I tried everything to get him to leave. It got so bad that he made one of my sims repeatedly throw up because he smelled so bad. After a while I had it and I enclosed him in a room with two fireplaces and a bookshelf, chair, plant and rug. I told him to go set the fires and waited until everything went up in flames. Needless to say I got rid of him and now the neighborhood has a new maid....I think that as long as you kill them the game will create new ones (maids)  though I haven't tested that theory yet.

I know one thing though....those nannies annoy the living hell out of me. They poke at my sims and their guests...they act like they have never heard of a toilet (they pee on themselves and walk around smelling) If you ask me they are more of a pain to have around than a convenience. :lol:


I do from time to time break up marriages and have sims who don't want babies to have many many kids and I once created a family for the sole purpose of torturing them. I gave them no furnishings and no toilet or shower just a sink....thats how I discovered that they sponge bathe themselves if they cant shower and that they will eat out of the trash if they have no food and that if you continue this their personality turns gross. For example after a few sim days of torturing them they became less clean and started sniffing at their armpits and actually liking the funk. It was very funny.
