No kittens within five miles of my house! :)

Of course, everyone wants to live on the good side of town. I have several run down trailers (not the nice ones from Laverwinklesims) and a ghetto. They can't be full of townies. We need a couple of brave MATY souls to live there so we can do a rags to riches story. Any volunteers? Just so you know what you are getting yourself into:   I've moved into the ghetto myself:  Any other volunteers? |

Do you have any apartments or duplexes on the poor side of town?

Hey, I've lived in a crappy trailer before. I don't have a problem starting out "low". Actually, you can put Sim-me in any housing or any living situation. I'm not picky. |

The third picture above (the one sim-me is in) is a lot with 5 individual small house/apartments on it. I'm using Inge's security system to assign each apartment. I also have some "high-rise" apartments that are more middle class that I'm still working on. Right now, I'm just finishing up the old industrial section that has become the neglected slum area. |

How about putting you in the Ethiopian E-Mail Challenge? Go for it. If you're as awesome as you claim, I should be fine. That trailer I lived in had no heat. None. And no insulation to speak of. That winter, we had a spell of temperatures in the teens that lasted several weeks. If I left a glass of water out overnight, there would be ice on it in the morning. I've lived with no money, with a baby, but no car or refrigerator. And I've never been on public assistance of any kind (not that there's anything wrong with it). I could go on about hardship but that would just sound whiny. In short, your challenge does not phase me in the least, except for the crying baby part. |

You're part of the reason I made this post! I've been reading and re-reading what people have posted about their self-sims trying to match some things up. I misread where you posted this: "Naturally, if you are a true MATY member, you would ensure that my sim experiences the complete opposite of all my desires, which would be no woohoo, living in a shack with an overweight, scruffy, smelly woman! Maybe that's what I deserve!" and in my notes had that you wanted to live in a shack. I am trying to match what people say about themself with what the story line in the hood is (as much as possible). I decided it best not to just stick someone in the slums without them knowing ahead of time. I didn't want anyone to misread my intentions or to be upset (especially because I make my slums to be "slums"). |

Hehe... if you got lots of you slummy stuff over at MTS2 you'll note that I did a bunch of the updating for University... Not to mention that I made some trashy stuff too. So likely I'll have fun playing myself in that enviroment, LOL

Simmiecal, thanks for listening. I'll quietly slink into that trailer with that overweight, scruffy smelly woman. Consort's got a fantastic male 'fat' mesh - I've got a female one from MTS, but I'm not sure who made it. I'll double check then add it here. |

Anywhere mysterious explosions would be unnerving is good. People never expect the next Dr. Evil to be living in a ghetto. ;-D

The siding and the "dirty" furniture came from MTS2. Just search for "trashed" and you'll find a bunch. Actually, there is a lot on there already built that looks a lot like the one I built. (I had previously downloaded that lot and played it in my personal hood.) I liked that lot but the trailer was a little too narrow for my tastes but I definitely got my "ideas" for my trailer from that one. If you download that trailer, you will get a lot of the trash stuff along with it. The wheels that are on the trailer got into the game from Witch's hippie commune "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" that was imported into the hood. Witch will have to tell you where she got them. (Heehee - but now that I have them, I'm using them.) |

skandelouslala, The wheels are from the Caravan Shope. http://www.caravanshopsims2.com/EN/caravan.phpThe slummy stuff is likely from MTS2... I think I recoginze the outside rusted tin siding as being by KThompson. The thread I'm posting has lots of stuff, and it's scattered throughout the thread too. Not everything is there though, as some folks have made trashed stuff later. Wireless guy has a nice set of "second hand" worn wood recolors too. http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=38304What you want to do is read the thread for the rest of the stuff. Look up my postings if you want, as I have several posts that pull all the info together and list exact post numbers for things that are updated or go with this set. It was on of the first community sets at MTS2 and kind of took on a life of it's own. Skins, sims, and clothing for this set can be found here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=39399Search for stuff by Blink13y too, as he's still making sims for this on his own. 8deadly sims (pay site) also has started making a set of this kind of stuff... |

One of those apartment places sounds fine if there is one vacant. I don't mind having to work for things but I want a few people to socialize with in the meantime.

I'm pretty much a suburbanite at heart, but if all the other mid-range houses are taken, my Sim boyfriend and I could live in a trailer.  |

I've noticed that in your pictures the mailbox (and trashcan) have been moved, does the mailman have any problems with it being moved away from the road?

Not that I've experienced. Just make sure that there is a clear path to it and it's not blocked. Someone please speak up if they've found otherwise. |
