Everybody, just as a tip, try avoiding quoting the actual pictures. First of all, it's not good for that persons bandwith, and also, it's non-usefull to scroll over the same pictures 3 times, while you've seen them even before that. ^^

Ofcourse not. ^^
I'll get a screenshot of it right away.

When opening your picture in GIMP, you go to the layers dialog. There you click something that looks like a clean sheet of paper.


When you click that, a new window opens. In that window, check if the fill type of your layer is set on 'Transparency'. Also, you shouldn't need to change the size of your new layer. It is supposed to be exactly the same size as your original picture. And thats the size that you'll need.

There, I hope that was clear enough. ^^ If you need any other help, just ask, and I'll see what I can do. ^^

Jenna, do you have the link of where you got those bunk beds you have? I know I had them, and I want to download them again, but I can't find them..
And I love your house!

What exactly do you mean with a transparent layer? Is that the 'New Layer' in my tutorial? Because I can easily expain that to you. ^^

I've never had MM for Sims 1, I only had Livin' Large and Unleashed, so I really don't know. But vacation always looked cool, so I wouldn't mind that.

Oh guys what I was wondering, what romantic activities that came with Hotdate in Sims 1, were also introduced in Nightlife? (like the thing where they could carress each others feet)

Haha, no problem. ^^ I'm glad I could help.

The funny thing is, my dad is soo good with computers, but I'm better with GIMP than he is. *proud grin*

Purple, if you read all the posts in the thread, you might find out why there haven't been any updates, and why there won't be any.

Wow, in all your games the Pleasant family guy is still an adult. In my game he's aged into an elder already.

Aaw, thank you. ^^
Your example picture is a whole lot better than mine though.

Oh and Cinamun, I know at least a few things that work a bit different in GIMP.
So I'll try to give a kind of tutorial with GIMP, only I'll use a random old picture
for it, instead of a Sims 2 pic, because I don't have those on this pc.

To be able to get a transparent background, you'll first have to create a new layer, then duplicate your background. Delete the original background, and move your new transparent layer underneath your duplicated background.
(tell me if you need more explanation on creating new layers and duplicating old ones)


Before you continue, double check that you've selected the top layer (your actual picture).


After that, you select the 'Fuzzy Select' and click on the background(color) of your picture. After you've selected that part, press Ctrl+X, that cuts the background out of the picture.
(extra note: You'll have to play around with the threshold to select the parts you want gone)


Then repeat that in other places where you have your background, for example the space between the hair and body.


After removing all that, and having just your sim(s) left, with no original background, you can delete the extra layer.


Open up your new background.
Press Ctrl+C while having your original picture selected, then go to your 'new' picture, press Ctrl+V there. Move your sim(s) around on their new background, untill they're on the correct spot, and save your file.


Tadaa. ^^

I hope that that's clear enough. I've never tried it with a Sims picture, but I'm positive it'll work.

Well, it did cost them a whole lot more money.
And thanks again. <3

Thanks both of you! ^^

Thanks for all of your comments on my pics. <3
