over at the mts2 community forums mildlydisguised posted about this handy little requirements test site

my results (for Seasons) were:





 :smile bi:


I've been debating about updating my drivers but I'm not sure how the newer ones are and I usually go by "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"   :goofy:

It's blogged so here is the link to it

http://mesleepycatssimsblog.blogspot.com/

It all started with a bug - Crumplebutt entering my sims house in Pleasantview - a house which is NOT Downtown! :rofl:

I started it on a forum so the first part is everything from there and needs adjusting and isn't labled as chapter 1(it's more like "WTF is She doing HERE!")
I'll get it sorted out one of these days.

Not doing to bad considering I never meant it to be an ongoing story (or learning how to use a blog) and it has no planned out plot - I have no idea what is going to happen next :lol: but a few friends enjoy reading about whats happening in my hood and have encourged me to keep updating.

I figured since I'm already up to chapter 13, I should have a thread here for it incase anyone else wants to read it, it's good for a few laughs anyway :lol:

I update usually the day after playing, I usually play for atleast 6 hours at a time so I usually have enough for two chapters. When/How often I play depends on my health, I'm disabled and sometimes I'm just way to tired to play but I rarely go more then a few days without playing.

So anyway...I hope you enjoy reading about my sims :daisy:


edit - 2/7/07 Update, chapters 49 & 50 - The End

:toothy5:

all my tattooed skintones are based on the nude skintones by Allan Akbar

the face tattoo is a skull + crossbones (shown in pic), it shows up under the full face makeup.


Ok, I will try to get pics but frankly if I wait until I have the pics I will never get these uploaded  :roll:  I'm not lazy, just sick *is disabled*  and I could kick myself for not tooltipping these files with the file name when I did them :banghead: I'll try to find the pics I took of them before.

hmmm...I will be adding them "when possible" so keep checking back. I think I have 10 tattooed skintones plus the face tattoo and with my connection the skintones take quite awhile to upload(app 25 mins each) so I doubt I will upload them all today  :roll: edit - got them all up today after all

edit - pics are a few posts down

found the pictures that I took awhile back of 6 of them...

some Lots I did awhile back plus one I remodeled, the remodeled one (80 Lakeside Drive) is $25,874 and is the only one I have a pic of  :roll:  the rest are small homes that are all under $20,000

these files are squeaky clean, no custom content or hacks  :wink:

edited- noticed 80 Lakeside Drive was missing  :roll:

Edit - these require the Uni EP I think

place file in your Downloads folder (works in a sub-folder for me) and all your aliens will be very purple instead of green  :smile bi:

please ignore the quality of my pic :roll:  the pictures of the 3 girls were taken in CAS when I was checking the skintone(their eyes look funny due to my shrinking the pic *sigh*) The other 3 pictures were taken in-game.

these should be clean *removed her hacks before packing*

35 Lucky Lane - $64,919 - app 6 bedrooms and app 4 bathrooms

45 Lucky Lane - $41,801 - app 7 bedrooms and app 3 bathrooms

I say "app" cause there are some rooms that be used as bedrooms or study/rec rooms or whatever (their bigger then 4x4) and some rooms can be used as a bathroom or a very small bedroom. Both Lots have plenty of room inside and out.

Edit - I think these require the Uni EP

7 Lots for your sims, all under $20,000, all have 2 floors

note: all bedrooms are 4 tiles by 4 tiles, thats the size I perfer, since my sims only sleep and woohoo in their bedrooms I see no reason to waste space, should be fairly easy to add on if you wish bigger bedrooms.
All have been designed for easy expansion because I dislike having to remodel a entire house just to add one more bedroom or whatever.

30 Lakeside Drive - $19,304 - 4 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

20 Lakeside Drive - $18,260 - 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

70 Middle Lane - $12,985 - 1 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

50 Middle Lane - $19,655 - 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms plus a small extra room

40 Middle Lane - $14,025 - 1 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

45 Middle Lane - $15,334 - 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

35 Middle Lane - $16,163 - 1 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms

*hopes people like them*

files have been replaced and are clean now

Edit - these require the Uni EP I think

7 shirts for TF/YAF/AF

note: I have Uni and I have no idea if these work in the non-Uni game (or in the MAC ver of TS2)

8 pairs of PJs for TF/YAF/AF/EF plus a few others

note: I have Uni and I have no idea if these work in the non-Uni game (or in the MAC ver of TS2)

edit - ooops forgot the other pic that shows the "few others"

6 everyday outfits for TF/YAF/AF/EF


note: I have Uni and I have no idea if these work in the non-Uni game (or in the MAC ver of TS2)

place file in your Downloads folder (works in a sub-folder for me) and all your aliens will be very creamy instead of green.

1st - download 1 of my alien default files

2nd - make your skintone in Bodyshop like normal, I suggest checking it in-game (sometimes they end up looking horrible) before going to step 3

3rd - resave all the project image files as .png (I save them in a subfolder)

4th - open my alien default file in SimPE, select the Plugin View

5th - select the first texture image, then in plugin view - import one of the .png files. Which .png file depends on which texture image, the info for each is in plugin view
Some of the hair file names are alittle confusing, just use one of the adult hair files for those. for the body file names, if it dosen't say "nudecut" or "nudesoft" (just "nude") then use "normal"

6th - after you import, right-click on the image and select Update All Sizes

7th - then hit Commit

8th - Once you are done replacing all the images, Save!

thats it, your done!

I put mine in a subfolder in my downloads folder and then check it in-game.

 :daisy:

yup white, look pretty good on the black skintone and the blue

this is a recolor,  I don't know who made the original (black) but it's my favorite!

edit - sorry no pic again

black blush and white blush, made by me

pic shows the black blush, white is the same, it's just white instead of black  :lol:

edit 6 21 05 - added eyeshadow and more blush, no pic again but theres lots of blush (reds, purples, pinks, browns and I forget what else) and about 5 eyeshadows (the black eyeshadow looks really nice)
I think this batch is for all ages and for both females and males

place file in your Downloads folder (works in a sub-folder for me) and all your aliens will be very blue instead of green  :smile bi:
