Who's getting the x-mas pack?

[MutantBunny]

The link is on the first page.

[Baa]

Thanks.

I'm such an idiot with these things....
Guess I could just fire up alcohol and see if I can just quess at how it works.
I usually leave these things to the boyfriend type person.
But a girls gotta learn some time.

Zandi, check your PM box.

Whoops. I left out a step, read the new one that says "READ THIS ONE!"

[Zandi]

Awww Thanks Kingdom.
Just what I needed.
Mounting for dummies.

And now time to do this and find the sports rub so that the boyfriend can be properly punnished for laughing at me.

With my luck the freak will like it.
Hummmm Ah I know  Laxitive pie....
He can't like that.

[Baa]

You're welcome. But really, the thanks goes to Linda for teaching it first. Luckily I read it before they freaked at the BBS. I'll be sure to keep that tutorial handy just in case anyone else needs help mounting.

Ha I love the new long beard for males. And I am quite partial to the hair underneath the female santa hat sans santa hat. hmmm

Hey does anyone know if there has been the vampire hair posted somewhere that looks correct without the head jewels? (that animates and is the proper colors) I never could get it to work myself, I must be missing a step somewhere.

[Motoki]

nectere: I remember seeing it somewhere but lol I'll be damned if I can remember. Sorry, I'm no help.

It's just painted onto the texture though so AFAIK it should just require a recolor, no mesh editing.

[Zandi]

Ok Linda Officially rocks.

And My boyfriend is gonna be loosing some serious weight soon.
He's been making this stuff out to be something like rocket sience
Or at least harder than any of the crap I do know how to do on computers.

And what 4 clicks and done?

Silly boy he knows I'm vendictive like that.

[nectere]

Motoki, I tried that, in so many ways, and I kept getting the bump where the jewels were and because I am picky like that I tried going into the mesh file and of course thats just when milkshape ran out and I had to learn to use Maya. I havent bothered with it since as I am still learning to use Maya.

I know about this one http://www5.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=92112&page=3&pp=25
but the texture doesnt line up.

[Motoki]

You probably just need to fix the normal map.

[Motoki]

OMG, I just went to VS after not having gone there in some time and the friggin front page is a free advertisement for the Holiday Pack. *vomits*

[Zandi]

Conformity....
Must advertise Party pack and seem to be cool and on top of things.
Must kiss big EA ass.
Must do as the others do.

But it was to be expected ya know.
I'm just shocked that it's not more extravigant.

I need help mounting! Can you throw a copy of the tutorial my way?

[Zandi]

Give me a min and check your PMs.

[Brynne]

Thanks, Zandi! I sent you a PM saying thanks, but I don't know if it actually "sent" successfully...

[ZiggyDoodle]

I'm holding on to my $15 unless someone who has the holiday pack tells me  that it includes a day off from school for all kids, teens, and Uni students. And homework/assignments.

Betcha it doesn't....

[Twain]

I have the holiday pack....and I could tell you that.....I might be lying if I did though....

[Kristalrose]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


I downloaded it today. Just call me Sheep-girl. 

I think it's cute, and I am needing something new to do with my Simmies.  I really liked making a "Holiday Party."  I decorated the house, used Inge's Summoner to bring over a bunch of party-goers, had the mother make Holiday Roast and Cookies, Santa came over and wandered around the lot for awhile.  I think he put a present under the tree, but he did hit on the lady of the house.    I also think the mistletoe is cute.

I will have to try that in one of my houses with kids

I hate the use of the word "donation" it's such a ridiculous euphamism. It's not like we're giving money to help starving orphans. 

No?

I think everyone should do it my way. But I'm biased.

I just read the page you linked, and the reasons you give on another page, and I really admire that.

Thank you. Sometimes I worry about "overstating my case," but I leave that up. It's reality...the truth about website hosting costs. If anyone's paying more than I am, they're a fool. If I wasn't perfectly happy where I am, I'd go someplace else cheaper, plain and simple. (I'm loyal, but I'm no idiot.)

I've heard a lot of good things about PowWeb, which is really cheap, and offers a ridiculously huge bandwidth allowance.
http://www.powweb.com

My own personal, biased, opinionated, Bitch Opinion is that if a person's hosting costs exceed their ability to pay for their hobby, they need to reduce the size of their site...or find a new hobby. Before I got into Sims, I did crafts; I could easily spend $100 (that we couldn't afford) every couple of weeks at the crafts store. I gave that stuff away, too ~ it was my hobby! The Sims is actually cheaper. And no fumes or burned fingers. Although I sometimes miss the fumes... (I also enjoy The Sims more because of the Community surrounding it...never a dull moment!)

That said, I do try to support one well-established, dependable, reliable paysite per month. Well...I supported EA instead, in November, by pre-ordering the Party Pack.

I only know of this recolour of the Nightlife hair with the jewels removed.   I haven't downloaded it, but I think she did a pretty good job of it, from the pictures provided. It's by Starangel13, on the official site.

[Brynne]

Hee hee...looky what I did:



Getting the Christmas cards ready...

[BlueSoup]

Well, well, Brynne.  That is just the picture of Sim family perfection there.    Nice job.
