There's also these:



I like the idea of alien antennae, but pipe cleaners sticking out of the top of my sims' heads...not so much.

I recently started an asylum that was fairly nondescript for this challenge except for one thing. For shits n' giggles, I added a Servo as one of my inmates. After the standard start (two fires, the second of which started before the fireman from the first one even left the house), the servo promptly went berserk, frying inmate after inmate with electric shocks. He finally calmed down, and after my controlled Sim nearly killed himself twice trying to repair him, he called in a professional.

Within 2 hours of being repaired, the servo went berserk again. I counted 13 electrocutions in less than 24 hours. It was glorious. Amazingly, no one died. It's only been a day since Servo's last rampage though. I say we give him time.

Both of these from MTS2.

Can't sleep. Pixie clowns will eat me.

And from icedmango:



I know it's intentionally goofy, but still. Whyyy?

Is there a way to have "never show" as the initial default? Having to click on every female I see to make sure they don't have their plumbing on the outside seems too annoying to deal with.

Correct. Cmdlineext.dll did exist, and needed to be unregistered.


Aha! I run everything from the admin account, so that would explain why it wasn't there.

For the people who can't find uaservice7.exe, I had the same problem. I simply ignored the step that called for stopping the process/deleting the file, and the removal worked just fine. I was able to run the game with the no-CD crack, and there's no sign of SecuRom.

Alas, I did. The preview on the exchange just doesn't properly display the sheer fugly of this sim. Even the screenshot I have doesn't do it justice, really. There's horribly pixelated stubble, blush straight out of a bad drag queen's makeup kit, facial geometry that appears to be eating his eyeballs... I'm in awe.

The thing that amazes me is that over 200 people have downloaded this before me.

I also found this little gem on the exchange. Supposedly, that's Axl rose. The preview doesn't do it justice at all. An in-game shot:



Note the lovely gap between the forehead and the hair.

The real Axl Rose:

I'd like to nominate this Hugo Weaving by Margierytka. This is what happens when photoskinning goes horribly, horribly wrong:

Ooh, are they still online? I did some searching but wasn't able to find them. I've only found one outfit that worked for a drag queen. The rest (including the website dedicated to it whose name escapes me) tend to leave the narrow waist, breasts and wide hips that the dresses they modify come with. A bit too female, since I prefer Eddie Izzard to RuPaul.

...the headboard is shaped like a spiky ass. Why is the headboard shaped like a spiky ass?

My own thought was "You too can have your very own pet Shoggoth!"

...but I'm a geek.

Will this cause any conflicts with twojeffs' "No Pet Obsession"?

Yanno, that post makes me want to make female versions of every single hair that psychotic bitch has just out of spite. You can't even make a version for your own personal use and take a screenshot? What the fuck.

I've also seen brown in the black bin, blond in the brown bin, and creators who think "blonde" means BRIGHT CANARY YELLOW. Drives me NUTS. This is wonderful. How were the recolors done, BTW? Did you use color sliders in Photoshop or were the textures completely replaced? I know I had a hard time with some of XMSims stuff because some of the textures had so much white.

Hm. Would installing this bork my game if I have Seasons?

I'd have to disagree. Even if you're going for weird, the mesh is an absolutely piss-poor job, especially compared to the original. It looks like someone left it in the oven until it started to melt.

Yeah, Kavar's meshes tend to be all over the map, quality-wise. I like the Static-X one, and I used his Night mesh for the longest time, but then you have things like...that. *points up*

After begging on several forums, I wound up looking into the hair fix myself and...it's tricky. What I was hoping to do is simply copy over the female werewolf properties over to the male, but it doesn't work that way. It seems that males have an additional property set that overrides their normal hair, which is simply not there for female werewolves. I tried taking out the "override" lines in the property set, but that didn't seem to work. I don't suppose anyone who actually knows how to use SimPE has any ideas?

Speaking of bad anime hair...







All 3 are by Wicked_Sims at MTS2. And yes, the girl on the left is being impaled by her own hair in the second picture.

Here's a semi-related question...does anyone know if there's a way to have male sims keep their hair the way female sims do when transforming to a werewolf. It seems silly to have my werewolf's hair suddenly get SHORTER.
