What about if the picture isn't particularly comical, but a caption made it so?

Ugh, they're hideous! Looks as if Blue's chin and Purple's nose could kill someone. And the eyes... Yeesh!

So much for my chance of some decent sleep tonight... 

I'm guessing that EAxian logic strikes again, and they have made bright red the new default mailbox colour?

Is there a list of "taboo" NPCs? In fact, is there hack that prevents "taboo" NPCs from showing up Downtown and on blind-dates? Maybe that way I won't accidently do anything with them.

Right. It's not like we've established the fact and the reasons why they may have possibly done this a few pages back, now is it? 

I took it to mean the dirt patch and perhaps the stone around it?

From The Sims Resource:

Werewolf from Hell


Elderly Werewolf from Hell


I don't even want to contemplate what the hell this is...


This skintone makes me want to gouge my eyes out!


My eyes!!


*hack* *cough* *splutter*


And I've seen oracledelphi4's work. It is truly vomitworthy.

Well I've seen some pets that happen to be masquerading as some sort of Dog/Polar Bear abomination, and the like. I'm sure some people out of there have attempted and failed miserably at producing something other than rainbow cats and dogs.

Well done Metalkatt. Nice to see a return to more traditional topic this month, Those walls... *cowers in fear*

I've some very fugly pets. It'd be nice to do that at some point in the future.

It's an attempt to con people out of their money by selling them something they already have, by being ambiguous as to what exactly the compilation actually contains. To what low will EA sink?

I notice they've now uploaded the Christmas Tree and Snowman set from the holiday crap packs of olde. I can just imagine what the EA execs (provided they are indeed human) are thinking... "AMAZING OFFER: Your two favourite christmas items + SecuROM for FREE!"

I'd just like to point out that the Pleasantview house was the very first House of Fail. 111 Stratford Street would be very interesting though. I'd love to see what people do with that corridor.

Now THAT is something to look into.

Obviously the ShitStore™. They wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that.

I still wonder what ever happened to those baby items..?

Out of interest... If both buildings are back, do they appear correctly in both Belladonna Cove and Downtown, or are they still screwed up?

Funny, I'm the other way around. Or rather, I was. Now I have walls down or cutaway on everything now. Even my actual house. It really saves having to get around everything...

This should be useful for centering objects, like that infernal fountain. I imagine many issues arising when used excessively though.

So EAxis have made their most incompentent error yet?

Hm, this is an interesting new wall covering...

"Brickrolled
This brick is never gonna let you down..."

It's right there in the directory, you can't fail to miss it.

Isn't H&M or something EP9? I remember one of them being EP13, so it would make sense that SPs count as EPs internally. It's been awhile and I haven't installed the game at all on my now-on-life-support system as I can never play it on this thing again.

Some people were also reporting that they need to use the AL disc to play the game. Hm...

Blargh. I have just got my computer working again after about 2 weeks due to the infamous Nvidia "infinite loop" error caused by installing a new driver (my monitor also exploded during this time, which I promptly replaced with a 22 inch widescreen that will take some getting used to...)

Knowing EA, I think those are features.

I think I might have a stab at editing the computer pie menu strings. It's so cluttered, and could be so easily made much more organised than it is now.

In a typical move, EA has shocked and startled the world with their surprise announcement that they plan to milk the Spore series until they leave it for dead.

It's barely been out a month and Spore's first expansion pack has been announced. Apparently it will "expand the space stage and give space-borne civilizations Star Trek-esque teleportation technology, letting players beam down to distant planets and undertake new missions. The expansion will also add in the Adventure Creator, which will let gamers build and share their own missions."

They're also doing the stuff pack thing, this time called "parts packs". Spore: Creepy & Cute Parts will add "in excess of 100 new creature-building parts that will fall in line with the titular theme. The parts, available in the game's Creature Creator, include components for the body, as well as paint options, animations, and backgrounds."

Parts packs = Epic phail.

As for the expansion, the space stage is fleshed out enough as it is. They should be focusing on making the other stages halfway decent and playable. Anything they do add in this expansion should have been in the game in the first place anyway.

As I've uninstalled Spore, I am definitely not getting involved in this series. Such a shame how greedy evil publishers can ruin something that had the potential to become very, very good.
