Hmm...
So.. I've been using TSR for years. Been debating on putting up custom sims and object recolors (Really, my best custom sim work came from TS2, body shop and all of that). I was hoping sims 3 would have come with a body shop tool, hoping to remake my awesome sims 2 sims into sims 3 citizens.. *Sigh* I mean, sims 3 is great and all, but it doesn't have the flexibility that sims 2 offered when it came to making sims. I am greatful, don't get me wrong, that I do not have to go through an entire SimPE + Photoshop trip to get new looks for furniture, but honestly... It's like we've traded out the ability to make awesome and unique sims for the ability to make your furniture truly fit the schemes of your houses. Important, yes, as I don't really play the sims to PLAY, I play the sims to create within the bounds of the content editors incorporated within the game and custom content.
Like I've said, been thinking of uploading my own custom sims, trying to cut back on the amount of custom content used with them... I know not everyone is a fan of hacks like sliders and such.. I will have to strip my sims down and redress them, hopefully I can market them without having to use the mass of custom items that have made them appealing to me, in the first.. Such as the make up, the hair, the clothing, THE SLIDERS, and so on and so forth. Dunno..
Well... I am not expecting a -huge- gathering of people to gawk over sims that can be made if they do as much fiddling with the game that I have, but I hope someone other than myself and my seven year old will be able to appreciate my sims like we have.
Let's hope..
Cheers!
