Actually, I don't think that Britney on the first page is bad at all. The rest are horrific, though.

The Lucy one ticks me off. Lucy ROCKED. She was a great actress, a smart businesswoman, and a beautiful woman, and they made that of her. Gag.

However, less power to you if you choose to wear fishnet stockings, thigh-high boots, and plaid briefs with a skull on them. Gothwhore and plaid do not mix.

Didn't seem rude at all to me, witch .

I remember thinking something similar about that way of playing, and at the same time thinking what an awesome way it would be to set up a storyline. There's no way I'd have the attention span for it, though. I've got great concentration during school and work (when I have a job; atm I'm blissfully unemployed), but in my leisure time I'm rather the opposite. I think I'm playing like 5 games currently, as well as reading 3 books .

No, I don't agree to disagree. Because they're supposed to be elves romping in the woods or something, not people living in suburbia. Further, the idea that mere skin is enough to constitute pedophilia is the kind of thinking that got a woman hauled to jail for taking pictures of her kids in a bathtub.

I agree with notveryawesome. Showing skin, even a lot of skin, isn't whorish. That Christmas outfit, with thigh-high stockings which are obviously meant to titillate, is definitely disturbing. Elvish children wearing a few flowers as clothing isn't sexual in any particular way. It's like the difference between wearing a string bikini and going to a nude beach. The people on the nude beach are all just having fun together nakedly without any sexual component, usually. A string bikini, however, is meant to be "sexy".

It's a game, not a TV show. Use the pause button.

"Get extra pressies out of santa this year with this incredible piece."

Eewww. What is wrong with people?

Why is there a hole for her bellybutton?

Aah. That is an interesting question, actually -- while there's all sorts of stuff forbidding reverse-engineering, I don't think most judges would punish someone who only made a min-image or cracked an .exe. It's not something the big game companies are going to try out, either, at least not until they are more assured that they would win than they are now. There's a lot of gray area there.

Because they are attempting to prevent people from using a product they have bought and legally own. Copy protection itself is very iffy, legally, because of the problems it causes for consumers.

There should be a whole 'nother category: boobs as deadly weapons. These are positively scary.

But if you didn't need the CD in the drive in the first place, it would be much less of an issue.

They would also never try it in court, as they would lose, which would open them up to a whole lot of crap they don't want to deal with.

Yep. Copy protection is idiotic and makes pirates of the most honest. But it's not illegal for you to use the .exe, as you bought the game. No matter what EA would have you believe.

Glad it worked for you  .

A mini image will allow the game to load without having the disc in the drive. You'll have to download a couple things to use it: daemon tools and sd4hide are what I use. The FAQs for those are pretty easy to follow. You can get the image at gamecopyworld as well. I prefer to use the image rather than a cracked .exe, personally. These should help if your problem is rooted in copy protection issues.

EA's "support" is notoriously bad. My cat could do better, because at least she wouldn't regularly give the wrong answers.

ElenaRoan: Silly question, but have you deleted the groups.cache file?

Ionopachys: Have you tried loading the game with a mini image or .exe from gamecopyworld?

I don't get how that second Peggy one even works. Is the yellow thing glued to her ass? The pants must be or they wouldn't stay up. Those outfits are too whorish even for whores.

As usual, gali is the undisputed queen of weird insults.

What Nec said.

Sims' breasts are a C cup, and the average size for real women is B. Just because you had big boobs early, that doesn't apply to most women.

Any hostility is not personal. It's merely hostility to blatant illogic.

The first one would be acceptable as a bathing suit. Though her boobies are scarily spherical.

*edit, waiting to see if gali can answer Hitch's question"

Don't replace the bed. Just use the design tool to change the bedding.

I wouldn't; the elder saggitude for Sims is scary. For women with such perky boobies, as elders they seem to have never worn bras.

You changed the floors and didn't tell us how much the second floors cost. You added lamps and a bookcase where there had been no lamps or bookcase before. The desk I can't say, but I know that bed comes with an environment score of 6, as I have it in my game. It's from Life Stories, and costs $3800. Even if you found a cheaper one somewhere, I bet they didn't change the environment score, just the price.
