...how many times are we nominating the baby table?

...how many people need to mention the baby table's previous nomination?

in case you missed it, pre-edit, angel had posted the baby table pic yet again; when I pointed it out, angel changed it to the statue.

Venusy, I figured CN was fair game again because this wasn't specifically a clothing category, and I think it's the funky folding when sitting that really makes you go 'what the fuck'...well....that is after just seeing the dress in the first place.

If it's disqualified based on the February ruling, that's fine.

Actually, I thought it was the price tag attached to this abomination crime against taste "creation" that made one go "What the fuck???"

At first I thought that the erect penis/angel chair was a definite WTF.  Then I realized that in sitting position sims would be, uh, 'anally probed' by that 'chair'...and I'm almost sure I've had several sims who have definitely needed that...especially some of the 'fire bugs'...

The boob art did however make my head cock to the side in disbelief...

This won't win any prize, no doubt, but it seems to fit JM's definition of a WTF item
That actually looks pretty neat, and could be pretty decorative with the right recolor, in a bizarre, sci-fi way.

I agree. The spheres could be made to look like planets, for instance.

My biggest "wtf" is about people who price things absurdly low. I usually delete those immediately; I have to really love something to bother opening SimPE and changing the price. Why would anyone want a $10 double bed? Also, don't $0 floors and walls plummet the environment rating? I have fortune Sims to think of, and for people who want to cheat, there's always motherlode.

Absurdly high prices are just as bad--a bread basket cloned from a vase that costs over $300 is a little steep.  Tongue

ok, so they're just Sims, and relatively attractive Sims at that, it's the pictures I wanted to draw attention to because they definately made me tip my head and frown.
I shudder each time I see them...
ReginaS is certainly not the only one to do it (paste a Sim face on a human head) but these were the first 3 I found and I really couldn't bear to keep looking.

the first two seemed pretty well-done to me. I mean, they don't look quite like real people - the proportions are a little off - but the skin tones match pretty well, and they generally look plausible, if a little off. now, the ones by Christi in this post http://www.insimenator.net/showpost.php?p=534375&postcount=2 are rather freakier.

Why did I click on that link? The one called Christy is horrid! The face is slightly askew on top of the real face making her look like a bad case of The Stepford Wives.  *shudders*

Wait, what? I thought those were actual pictures of celebrities. I mean, yeah, they look a little plastic and fake, but...that's how celebrities are, right?

Right, that's how they are. But unfortunately the 'new' wave' is to juxtaposition sim faces over real faces.

Why? God only knows. They look stupid and I can't even imagine what they look like in game.

I would think there are a lot of bodiless heads floating around looking for completion. Lips sealed

Maybe it's for contests or something? If so, they lose. Tongue

Morphing Sim faces onto pictures of celebrities is called "simmerizing" and people over at S2C have been doing it for a while. It's just a picture, people don't play sims that look like this.  I thought they had a post with simmerized pictures in their pictures forum but I can't find it now. There is a tutorial -- http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=30334 -- on how to simmerize from December of last year though I'm sure I saw simmerized pictures way before that.

$0 tiles can actually be useful if you are trying to get rid of money via tile method, and you are running a pre-NL game without the familyfunds cheat. Basically, you place a bunch of expensive tiles, then cover them with $0 tiles, and then delete the whole thing. This way, you don't get any money back when you delete them.

Meh, the game already has a $0 floortile, no need to place more.

It has? Which one is that then?

The §0 floortile doesn't show any puddles which makes the environment rating go down. If they are just freshly placed the score is ok. Just don't use them in places where there are likely to be puddles forming such as kitchens, bathrooms etc. Mind you I never use them-feels too cheaty for me. Mine are all §1 Cheesy

All my floor tiles are at least $2. I've got plenty of $20 floors and walls. I bump the prices up for a lot of CC I download. Money is so easy to come by. Besides, I don't like the weird cheaty-ness of the bargain basement prices, and I get super tired of using the same old Maxis crap when I want expensive stuff.

It does rather tick me off that no one ever puts the prices or motive scores of items in download info. I still find that hard to get my head around; I'm used to modding communities in which everything important is spelled out and in which gameplay is of paramount importance.

That's because most people don't KNOW the motive scores of the crap they're editing, or if they do, their understanding of such is grossly flawed and thus their results would be equally worthless. The vast majority of the modding community consists of the "look what I made!" smacktard with no sense of craftsmanship. They are without honor.

*giggles* That is the first time I have heard the word smacktard. Though I'm guessing same meaning as one of my favorite words fucktard.

Smacktard has appeared several times here on MATY in the past, and I think at one point there was even a discussion about the nature of the evolution of language and how it formed "smacktard". I personally find "smacktard" somewhat more evocative, though. I think I've instigated every usage of it here, though.

I've a few floors/walls unhidden from the catalogue in my game: the sidewalk concrete and the brown deck flooring are definitely 0§. (with "unhidden" i mean, out-commented "notincatalogue" in /scripts/floors.txt (don't recall the first bit of the path .. something like c/program files/ea/ts2/res/catalogue?))

When you say "their understanding of such is grossly flawed", does that mean the catalogue descriptions of EAxis things are wrong as well? I know one must go through a somewhat complex process to get comfort to work correctly, for instance -- are there other motives that are similar?
