Thanks!

Computer school nothing, my major is economics!  Anyone can do this stuff with a bit of creativity and the internet.

Awesome!!! I havent messed with Sims2 yet and I still have SIMS1. I’ll be getting into S2 soon enough, since 1 doesnt have anymore decent hacks left. I remember killing over 200 sims to make a cemetary. The hack was a plate of hemlock I made them eat. Very effective. Here is a pic of one cemetary I made recently. You cant see it, but there are 2 urns in the mausoleum as well.

Demented, yet awesome. grin

On sims 2, graveyards always slow my game down immensely because of all the ghosts roaming around.  But maybe your system is a bit better than mine (can’t be worse).

Let me know when/if you get the sims 2 and I’ll tell you how to go about repainting objects like I have.  It’s a piece of cake.

My dementia is a well thought out living for me. 4 out of 5 voices in my head cant be wrong (that 5th voice is asleep and snoring). Those Sims did not die in vain, they asked for me to take their lives as a sacrafice. :p

Unnecessary update: I went ahead and made one for the Mrs.

Check the wall behind the guy.  Wish I knew how to make these things more clear.

Anyway enjoy!

Thats really cool. I actually plan to get S2 maybe next week. In the old one which I have now I changed the music to REM and The Smiths. All my Sims wanted to do was dance.

OK, I know there’s a fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental disorder’, but I hope you’ll indulge me one final time.

I figured out how to create banners of arms!  Or to be more clear, this looks a bit more like a hanging wall flag.  All right, I have no idea what kind of banner this would be technically.  Just enjoy.

In case you’re wondering, these are ficticous arms I made up to test my ability to create the banner.  They belong to nobody that I know of.

Mark,

They look like gonfanons.

 

Take care,

(This may be of particular interest to our member-gamers out there…)

We all know that many Sims are also armigers from earlier in this forum, but did you know that many Sims choose a very unique way to display their arms?

I give you the heraldic pinball machine!

(P.S. this is a work in progress)

Now you can show off your family arms in a fun and educational way!  Don’t worry about junior failing to appreciate heraldry, now being able to ricochet a small shiny ball off your motto scores him big points!

If you will indulge me one more time, I think we’re nearing a final completion.  This one is our ‘marital’ pinball machine.

Who needs a shield?

OK I confess; the Mrs is away this weekend and I have a lot of time on my hands. grin

Hmmmmm….I don’t know if I’d want to play on that machine. LOL Not unless it has had a thorough cleaning first. LOL

Seriously, it looks pretty cool!

 

Take care,
