"See kids, isn't this a lot more fun than learning how to use the potty?"

Hands on me - Vanessa Carlton
It's an amazing song! 
I'd probably not admit this in real life... 

I got the perfect mod for her! It's a tv, and sims will use it ANY time one of their motives drops below half.

Sounds perfect for her so she doesn't screw anything up with the insimenator, and because it's automatic, she just needs to be playing! Oh, and they don't even need to get to the tv, as long as one is on the lot, everyone will be energized and ready, even after a sim month.
I don't use it...on all my lots. 

This is my first upload, so If I mess up somewhere, can someone help me out?

Ok, Now that's out of the way, I'd like to present my sim version of Vanessa Carlton.
I just did this because no one else did, which honestly surprised me.
I personally love her music, so I bet I'm not the only one right?
Please tell me what you think, personally, I think I did pretty good.  
The source pics I used includes mainly the picture below, and a profile from her music video "Hands on Me"
It's funny because when I watched that video, and a perfect profile showed up, I immediately thought, I can pull this off.
I recommend you watch the music video too, the video is a bit provocative, but its nowhere near what they allow on MTV. Plus, it's a great song!

I hope you like her!  
PS. Almost forgot, she has no makeup on right now, since people like putting custom make-up on and I prefer an all-natural look.
I added some in the comparison pic, but none is included in the file.

I start it with the apartment life cd, My computer set up is, or rather, was very similar to yours. It was only 2 weeks ago I was using the same card.

My computer had that same included graphics thing (nVidia Geforce 6150 SE). I got my computer March of last year. It worked nicely for me, I recently upgraded my graphics card and installed directx10 and its awesome now. So it can't be the card, by the way, I use an hp pavilion, is that what you have? I have Vista so it can't be that either... i have all ep's no sp's.

i spend too much time on messafew voards

AWW.. i was doing good for a while

type: Thank god it's friday!

I hate romance sims, I usually change them with the sim blender. I always lmao when their memories prove most of them are virgins though. (only one that i know isn't is don)

BTW,I don't hate my townies, I usually just change what i don't like with the sim blender when they pass by. or if they just REALLY fugly up my phone book i summon them and change them right then and there. Better then killing them off, killing them off just makes more ugly townies that you have to unexpectedly find in the phonebook. 

Mine is 3gb right now. It's always growing though. 

When you start comparing what you do in real life to what a sims does. (or vice versa)

When you wonder why you can't stuff a whole pillow in your pocket.

When you wonder why you can't control your neighbor's stereo and tv with your remote.

When you start comparing people to sims instead of the other way around.

I am only guilty of one of these...lol.

I'll give it a try, I keep custom content at a minimum on my sims, so you probably won't have to download much.
Oh, and BTW, I agree that she's beautiful!
