I've got all of my creative projects under one roof now. My new site is hosted by 110mb, and according to the Terms of Use, I'm not supposed to use it for file archiving. That's fine; I'll just keep using my 4shared account for...tag:https:,2008-01-07://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2271Taking a Morrowind break, BRB2008-01-07T19:35:43Z2008-01-07T19:35:43ZIf you look at my upload history, you can see that it's been a few months since I made anything for the Sims 2. As I get more expansions, I've found less and less of a need for custom content, but it's also due to a continuously waning interest in the game. Now I'm going to take a break from Sims...tag:https:,2007-09-11://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1863Some people still play The Sims 1 :)2007-09-11T00:36:14Z2007-09-11T00:36:14ZOne of my two Sims 1 websites was deleted recently. I only found out about it because someone who was looking for my furry-sim files contacted me and asked about it -- I wasn't given any notification. It was an archive site, and the only update I had made in over a year was to add Paysites Must...tag:https:,2007-08-24://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1798Using the game as a tool2007-08-24T11:24:14Z2007-08-24T11:24:14ZI've gotten tired of playing the Sims 2; it happens with every game I play every year or two. In the case of the Sims, I usually go back to it after a few months, so maybe it will interest me again in mid-fall. It's unfortunate, because I had several projects for the game in mind, but I can't...tag:https:,2007-07-06://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1588Pet peeve: Clothing downloads hidden by long hair on the models2007-07-06T02:06:56Z2007-07-06T02:06:56ZI understand that creators want to show their creations in a beautiful setting. For clothing, that often means a beautiful sim. Most people find long hair beautiful. Do you see where I'm going with this? Long hair covers the clothing so that the back and neckline are hidden. Don't do it! I...tag:https:,2007-06-02://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1475Using less custom content2007-06-02T05:02:04Z2007-06-02T05:02:04ZHeresy! I know, suggesting less custom content on a download site is kind of silly. But I find that my game loads much faster if I take out all the custom content that I don't use. I used to have everything by Windkeeper in my game (now those hundreds of items are all backed up on disk), and the...tag:https:,2007-05-18://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1405I'm not really obsessive. Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich?2007-05-18T19:50:43Z2007-05-18T19:50:43ZWhen I finally completed my vamp-with-bangs hair mesh, I was so sick of it that I decided to avoid the Sims entirely for a few days, and maybe give up on making hair for good. Less than 24 hours later, I found myself thinking, "Wouldn't this hair look cute with a beret?" XD
It's good, though. ...tag:https:,2007-05-16://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1385One step forward, two steps back2007-05-16T01:04:20Z2007-05-16T01:04:20ZI'm not doing as well on my new hair mesh as I'd hoped. After a lot of frustration, I realized that there's something screwy with the recolor I was working on. I think I can make it work better if I use a different set of hair meshes for the project, so now I'm working from a different set...tag:https:,2007-05-13://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1373Hacks that make the game sooo much better2007-05-13T08:39:23Z2007-05-13T08:39:23ZI've been enjoying Numenor's Base Game Starter PRO program. The difference between the base game and later versions is just huge: no lifetime wants, no lightning bolt attraction... and very few hacks. Most of my favorite hacks don't work well with the base game, so I've been playing without.

It's a new hair mesh that combines the female vampire hair from Nightlife with the bangs from the Page hair from the base game. I've already handled the hard parts. I painstakingly remapped the top of the vamp hair to line up with...tag:https:,2007-05-10://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=1363I'm not going to upload on TSR anymore...2007-05-10T20:33:17Z2007-05-10T20:33:17ZI've never been a very prolific creator, so no one is likely to notice. But I became uncomfortable with the way TSR was doing business a while ago, and I'm much happier with switching over to MTS2. I've come to a point where I really don't want to be associated with a paysite.
