The Sims Resource

I thought I would sign your guestbook to say I like you style. I also noticed we are the same age, that is refreshing to me. I am hooked on the Sims 2. Hopefully one day I will be able to make objects. I have 30 years working for the school system. I have always loved to draw, and I am good at it I just don't know how to put it into the computer. Enough of that. Keep up the good work vcosley: $\:D$

On Friday 5th November 2004 YOU wrote: Hey there. Just popped in to thank you for signing my guestbook and also thanks for the nice comments about my custom shaped pools and Disco Heaven. Words like yours make it so much more fun to share this stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Guess what? I only just noticed that somebody signed my guestbook. The little number 1 next to it never even registered!! Probably because no-one ever signs mine, you have the honor of being the first (and only)person to sign it! Anyway, I decided there are 2 possible reasons why my mind never clicked. Either my mind is hyperactive or too slow, which is kinda sad really. Cuz it means I'm a dummy one way or the other. LOL Anyway, I'm glad my comments had the desired effect I had hoped for. I sign guestbooks regularly and rarely get a reply. So thanks for taking the time to appreciate being appreciated. $\:\)$ You were the first person I saw who figured out how to make custom pools. So I wondered if maybe I had a tip that you haven't thought of or tried. Hope this is new for you. I haven't downloaded any lots that have used this idea so maybe it will help. Basically, I figured out how to put the floor plants on a table top. The thing is it only works on ground level, I haven't figured out how to do it on upper floors. First, CTRL + SHIFT + C to bring up the cheat menu and 'moveobjects on'. Second, make a single tile foundation, as normal the 4 clear floor tile bits will stick out on the sides. Simply place your plant on one the clear floor bits. The moveobjects cheat enables you to place it on a clear tile. To finish it off all you have to do is place your table under the plant, then simply delete the foundation. You should be left with the plant on table. I also made an excellent fishtank with 2x1 foundation (using moveobjects on) the fishtank sits inside the foundationso you only see the top of it. you can put items in the tank now by placing them on the foundation. Color the foundation to match. Tip do the floor tiles on top before you place items on or in the foundation, sometimes the tiles won't work because of the items. Put 2 tanks together to make a 3x1 tile. I put the vases, lamps, plants etc. in the tank. Basically experiment with what you like. That's the beauty of this game really, you mold it to your liking to reflect your tastes. The best part is the game is still full of things I haven't seen or done before. It was only a few weeks ago that I saw how a sim with a Law Enforcement career goes to work in Level 10 'Superhero' Generally, I enjoy building houses so much that I spend most of the time building instead of playing the game. Which brings me back to commenting on the vesatility of the game to suit the user. Anyway, fingers crossed that I was able to share something new to help you enjoy the game more, as you did for me. Incidently, I found a site last week with a tutorial on how to repaint the walls inside a swimming pool. If you don't know how Just let me know and I'll send you my tutorial. Thanx again, peace, bullzdawg

I love your objects! They are all very unique and fun and add spice to my game. And I absolutely love the outdoor barbeque set you made. You do very good work.

Heather WoodJan 31, 2005

I love your stuff...I think I probably have all of it....do you think you could do a hair style that is long...maybe down to the sims butts...lol. I would love to see long fuller hair with poofy bangs...more realistic looking. I would appreciate it... Thank You, Heather
