Now you can build your own house on Maxis's "The Sims" and play with 8 of these 10 houseguests (the most you can have in a family on "The Sims" is 8). The skins are there, and Eddie has a 2nd leg for this series (probably because you can't draw a 1 legged skin for the game - yet).

Go to http://www.phcreations.com/wulfysimshop/Celebritymen/celebritymen.html for them

Bbfrick this is sooooo cool. One prob, though. If you don't give them any toys and they can't leave the house, things are gonna get real bad real fast. LOL

I can't wait to download these, and build their house. Wayyyyy cool. Thanks.

How do you install the skins? I have to admit its been a while since I played "The Sims". Probably June just before BB!

Prince, LOL...me too.

After you download skins, put the zip file on your desktop, right click and "export to" the skins folder.

Have you thought about buying the Livin Large Expansion Pack? Looks totally cool, but seems to be a lot of probs according to folks on the Sims site.

Just had an idea... aren't Sims on-line somewhere? I know they WERE gonna do that.

Be a blast if we could set up an area of TVFC for that!

Admin? Whaddaya think?

Thanks Sara! I just logged in to 'The Sims' website. The Livin Large pack looks cool but $29.95 for an expansion seems a little steep. I remember those sleepless nights before BB playing it. Wait a minute, that didn't change, the sleepless nights that is even when BB started!

I got "Living Large" for $17.99 - My local Electronics Botique agreed, $29.99 is a little steep for an expansion pack.

Bbfrick - is Electronic Botique online, or just local? That's a major bargain.

Have you had a lot of problems with the expansion pack? Some of the stuff I've seen on the sims sight has to with installation problems, and repeated crashing.

I'd appreciate any info.

I have been wanting to get this game for a while now, and you guys are making me want it more and more! This sounds like such fun!!! I wish I could run out and get it, but right now, that's not in the cards for me. I need to get some money together for some other stuff. Thanks for the updates though!

Sara - I believe Electronics Botique is located all up and down the east coast (not sure about anything west), but they do have a website at ebworld.com. But they are selling it there for $29.99. Maybe they have a Store Locator there that would find a store in your area that may be selling it for lower than that price.

As for the game problems, I had no intstallation problems, however, I do have trouble once in a while where the game would freeze and I would have to reboot the computer (turn it off and turn it back on). I haven't checked The Sims website { www.thesims.com lately for a patch or a fix yet though.
