1  Sims 2 Community Downloads / Residential / Starter Townhouse on: December 20, 2007, 11:04:42 pm
I have been designing houses in my game for a long time, but this is my first upload (my other houses are heavily packed with custom content from places I don't even know anymore).
 
Features:
  • Fully Furnished - Ready to Move In
  • Small 1x2 Lot
  • Two Bedroom, Two Bath
Price: $19,053
 


 
All objects and recolors used are Maxis originals, except for the double bed (mesh by CTNutmegger of RSSS).  First floor shower in picture not included.
 
Note: For some strange reason, a few object recolors decided to tag along when I packaged the lot, even though they aren't used. I removed them from the SIMS2PACK file, but for some reason, a stair recolor by Numenor refuses to go away.

This is Bridgette.  She is an Irish orphan girl looking for a home with a nice couple.



Custom Content is as listed:


The hair recolor by beemi is included; however, the required mesh is not.  The mesh from XMSims is freely available here:
http://www.xmsims.com/sims2/ehtm/hair/hair28.htm

Bridgette has been created using BV version of Body Shop, however, she should be usable with any version of Sims 2.  Her genetics have taken me many hours to sculpt, and has been verified to look beautiful across all her stages of life.  Please feel free to give me constructive criticism.

Please do not upload to Exchange or any pay sites (regardless of whether the upload is offered for free or fee), and please give me due credit if she or her immediate children are uploaded anywhere else.
3  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / Skin Problems on: December 10, 2007, 05:45:03 pm
Okay, guys, I need some serious help here!

I was playing the Sims the other day, playing a couple of sims I had created recently.  Both are using custom skins, and I no longer know which skin was used on either of them.

Anyways, one of the sims went to go take a shower.  When she got undressed, her entire body from the neck down disappeared!  I had this problem once before, a long time ago, and I tracked down and removed the bad skin, forcing the sim to take on Maxis-default skin, and all was well.  Now, however, I have entirely too many skintone files to be able to do this without spending an inordinate amount of time and pulling out all my hair.  To make matters worse, SimPE cannot open my neighborhood file, throwing no fewer than 450 errors before I gave up and force-closed SimPE.

So what I need to know is:  How can I identify exactly which skintone file is being used by a particular skin?  Also, is there any way (hack, mod, whatever) to replace a sim's skin in-game?

On a semi-related note, I have also noticed that, with very few exceptions, most of my sims have significant graphical defects, particularly in the chest area.  These usually only show up when a sim is undressed, but in many cases, they even show up through certain clothing.  These defects show up as weird-shaped "holes" in the sim that I can see right through.  Anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks bunches in advance for any help you can give.

This is Levanya Devi.  She is a foreign exchange student from Fiji waiting for admission to Sim State University.  She wants to major in Philosophy, and hopes to one day be able to move to Pleasantville and get into a culinary career.

 


Custom content is as listed below.  I would like to especially thank Enayla for her wonderful Pixie skins and her eyes; Rock Chick for her hair, makeup, and accessories; and Helaene for her makeup.  Without you three in particular, my Sims would be very dull. :group hu:



Note: This is a Young Adult sim, and therefore requires University EP.  Additionally, she was created using BV Body Shop, though I don't think you will need BV.
5  Sims 2 Community Downloads / Sim Honeys / Emily on: November 29, 2007, 03:46:36 am
This is my very first upload, so please be gentle! :pray:


This is Emily.  She is a computer geek looking for a home in a nice, quiet neighborhood with good internet connectivity.  Although she doesn't get out very much, she is looking for Mr. Right; ideally, he'd be a fellow Geek.  She is sporting a T-shirt with Tux the Penguin, the mascot for her favorite operating system, Linux.

Here are Emily's personality attributes:


Her T-shirt is a creation of mine, and is a recolor of a Maxis shirt.  Please feel free to redistribute it as you wish, provided it does not end up on a pay site, and that I am credited as the original creator.  Other than that, enjoy!  I plan on uploading more clothing as I get better with recolors.

With the exception of the T-Shirt, Emily is composed of 100% Maxis components, so there is no other custom content.  Be advised, though, that the hair is from Bon Voyage.  If you don't have that EP, her hair won't display.  Please download the non-BV version instead.

Please let me know what you think of her, and of my shirt. Smiley

Please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place...  I've looked but couldn't find a more appropriate forum.

I truly enjoy creating sims and have quite a large collection of them both in my bin and in-game.  I would love to be able to share them all with you here, but I'm faced with a serious ethical concern:  I have well over 4GB of custom content collected from pretty much all over the internet (none from pay sites, though), and have not kept good records of who created what.  Many of the files I have do have identifiers, but a large number of them do not.  To make matters worse, I've made some recolors (not many - I'm not that great at it), but - again, didn't keep track of what I've done.

So, I guess my question is - how do I go about uploading my sims with custom content when I cannot identify who created the content so I can check if I can upload them here?

Or am I stuck with stripping my sims of everything and locating Maxis replacements?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
TIA
-Kat
