Title: (~Coming of Age~): Six Sensual Sims, New Meshes... and A Title That Makes No Sense.

:new:  10/9/08:  Just a notice... the pants that are included with my guys has an updated mesh that you can find here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=96306).  Make sure you download that version and replace the mesh that comes with the sims!  :smile bi:



My sincerest apologies to those on slow internet connections, because this is image heavy... and I should be kicked for making your connections cry.  :(  

This is going to be a doozy of a post, so I'll try and make my "comments" short and sweet... but even then, I tend to fail at doing so.  :doh:  An update for my two main sims (pictured in avi) was already in the works, but I really didn't feel like committing necromancy in their old threads... plus, seeing as people still like their older version, I'll leave those files be for the time being.

So in short, their newer versions, along with four of my other favorite sims, are finally uploaded in this post, now with revamped skins and genetic features... meaning slightly better looking babies than before.  Not to mention new clothing meshes, and one tribute hair mesh. (my first hair conversion, so let me know if anything goes wrong with it.) :lol:

Oh, and if you don't have Sims2Pack Clean Installer (http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/), I suggest you invest the time in downloading it.  You'll probably end up needing it if you're using the game's regular content installer.  Especially if it says the sim needs an EP in order to be installed.  ;)

Now on to the good stuff!

I don't think she has those particular ones up on her site, unfortunately.  ;)

(Trevell's hair is set to pick up the hair mesh and binned recolor.  You can download both, along with three other recolors and age group meshes, below with my sims.)

:new:  Here is a highly important note about the hair that's pictured with 'T'.  As a lot of long-time simmers know, this has been one particular hair style that a lot of people have been yearning for.  I take absolutely no credit for this, as it was the fabulous (and retired hair creator) CompulsiveDemeanor from a few years ago who created the original mesh as a toddler 'do.  (Many know of her through the countless dredlock styles she has made in the past, and which are still used to this very day)  Since I'm still a big fan of her styles for some of my sims, (and admittedly wanted such a style for my older sims, also) I wanted to dedicate the conversion solely to her and her contributions to the sims community.  I never really did get to witness them during her active days, as I was just coming in as she was going out, but she's still greatly appreciated by me.  :angel:

(...with that, I hope I'm not breaking any rules or anything... I couldn't find anything on her policy really, but if it's not okay, I'll gladly move it to prevent any conflict of interest.)

Extra special credits:

Thanks once again to Exportdry (http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=753948) for letting me uses parts of his mesh for the adult female baggy flares I made... even though I asked him a long time ago, and I got lazy with fixing the mesh up for sharing.  :rofl:  Be sure to check out the rest of his work!  :smile bi:

Texture & Mesh Policy


You may:

   ::smilieiforgetwhi::  Make recolors and use any part of my texture. No permission is needed, but feel free to show me your work so I can download it, too.  :smile bi:

::smilieiforgetwhi::  Redistribute these meshes with your recolors, but please link back to this thread and check for updates.  I frequently go back and check to see if there's anything I need to improve on.  ;)

::smilieiforgetwhi::  Use any parts of the meshes in your projects (since it's a direct edit and combination of EAxis' meshes anyways.  :lol:)

You may NOT:

   :stop:  Post this or your recolors on any paysites.  That includes TSR, folks. :tongue3:

:stop:  Make minor changes to my sims and upload them elsewhere, claiming them as your own work, when clearly it's not.  (aka, "I'll change skintone/eyes/eyebrows/hair to this... and viola!  It's minez now!! Wait 'til I put this on the exchange!")   It has been done plenty of times, and is quite juvenile... you know who you all are, if you're lurking, so I'm keepin' my eyes on you.  :rofl:  (Not really, but please, if you do make changes and want to share, at least make them stand out and do more than just genetics switching.)  Also, please don't use my sims in contests if they allow usage of other people's sims.  (There may be exceptions if permission is asked... but since they do kinda stick out, I'd like to keep them under my contestant's wing in that case. They are my sim babies, after all.  :toothy3:)

:stop:  Use any part of my textures/meshes on items set as "Donation" or "pay".  Don't use my hard work your financial gain.  Karma will eat your soul if you do.  :yummy:

Any constructive critique is welcome. Please let me know if you find any faults or have any problems getting my meshes to work.  I'd definitely appreciate it so I can work out the issue and know what not to do the next time I make a mesh.  :lol:

Once again... dial-up users and people with slow connections... please forgive me for the image overload. :pray:  I've been where you are now, and I know this post is a PITA for ya to load.  Next time, I'll be sure not to over-hype myself before posting pictures.  :oops:

Hope you enjoy!

>_<  Crud!  I wonder how'd that happen... and you downloaded the hair recolor file and meshes below his download too, right?  If it's still not showing up for him, I know once you put him in-game that's easily fixable, but I hate it seems to be doing that in Bodyshop for you... although, I do remember seeing that he had "duplicate" hair recolors when I packaged him, and I didn't think it'd do any harm.  Maybe that has to be the culprit... :?  Thanks for letting me know about that, Jai!

For those who do have SimPE and know how to use it, it's an easy way around it... just load him up in the CAS screen and put some hair on him, add him to your neighborhood, then exit out of the game, open up SimPE => Neighborhood Browser,  choose the neighborhood he's in, then go to "Sim Surgery" and extract him from there.  There's a better detailed tutorial here (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=94489), because my quick description is pretty vague in some points.  :lol:

And for those who don't have that program and are also having that problem,  I'll check it out and see what's going on... chances are I may have to repackage him.  :doh:

wow....I have seen your sims around and now I just had to try a few. I just love how you give on other pages the sims sign and details on nice,neat, etc...

it helps a lot to get them into the game just as you have them and have their personalities in my game match yours..

thanks for all of the details and hard work..

Will do that. I didn't do it this time because I already had a lot up in the first post... but I may consider adding that.  ;)

Thank you all so much for downloading!  :group hu:

(And to the person who "sim secreted" my sims in this post back in July... thanks for the publicity!  I know you may think negatively, but I don't mind at all.  You have your taste, and I have mine... that's all that counts.  :smile bi:)

I wish it was.  :lol:  That's the only thing I wish I could do with the 3D meshing program I'm using, but I can't figure out a way to do it yet.  They were, however, based off of customized CAS Face replacements and tweaked to mimic my drawing style using Bodyshop, so their younger forms aren't as hideous as when I first made them with the Maxis ones... you think they're scary now, you haven't seen anything like those old ones!  :twisted:
