LOL MissL
Yeah that's right I'm the Sims-Pusher Woman...What you need, huh?...Skins, yeah I can get you that. What's that,..more housees?..Ahh baby all you have to do is ask. Whatever you need to ahhh help you over that Sims hump cause I do understand.

You know the first house is free...LOL

Ahem! You shouldn't have any trouble with the houses, I hope. Just remember if you're going to put them in a new neighborhood then look for UserData2, that'll be your 2nd neighborhood. Then slap that puppy into the UserData2\Houses folder and my houses should be sitting pretty :)

I'm having so much reading everyone else's stuff I gotta get back to working on mine!

I've gotten some new stuff for the ahem...Nightclub house. Soooo I may be updataing their little album soon.

Okay now I'm heading into the game. I won't be out until way late in the evening.

I KNOW WQHAT THE GREEN MOSS STUFF IS ROFLMAO
The same thing happened to me. Two mounds of the stuff appeared in my upstairs party room one day. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Cheats, maid, deleting the floor. Everthing. I was talking out loud to myself..."What is this puke from the party I had last night?" It was driving me nuts.
Then I FINALLY figured it out.
Let me guess...it's on the 2nd floor right?
I'll bet it in an area of the 2nd floor that is above a landscaped area as opposed to another part of the house.

It's the top of a damn tree!

Oh- and I sent the link to nudie stuff to your yahoo email addy:)

I've been actually a little under the weather, so haven't been able to spend as much time on the Sims as I want. But yesterday (you all will be proud of me) I got home from work at 7 and ONLY PLAYED FOR AN HOUR! Of course, if I had been feeling better I probably would have been there all night!

Isn't it funny how I've started to think of my own life in terms of the Sims? As in, sitting in front of the computer I was thinking, "OK, my fun bar is going up but my hunger and bladder and social bars are going down. Must have some balance." LOL. The same thing happened when I was really into SimCity, one time I drove by a tall smokestack/industrial plant right in the neighborhood of some houses and I thought, those residential areas must not be worth a whole lot.

Still haven't gotten an expansion yet. MsS thanks for the advice about sticking to the earlier ones first. But it seems on a lot of these Sim websites many of the things say you need Hot Date to make them work. One of these days I will make it to the store and pick up an expansion pack. I also downloaded some objects as I was tired of the limited selection and surprisingly got them to work.

Update on my Sims: Remember Evan had stolen away Bella Goth from his best friend Mortimer and they got married. He got a job as an athlete and soon got promoted (I think he's already on step 3). Bella seems a little bored. She had no skills or job, so I had her paint some, play chess, etc. She also called up Mortimer who brought along their daughter. Mortimer greeted her with a kiss, on the lips. I think it is odd that Mortimer doesn't seem to notice that his wife is now married to someone else, I guess the game allows for that.

Then I decided to fix up the house for Bella and Evan. Built a walk in shower with two shower heads at opposite ends, enlarged the living room and bedroom, put in a fireplace, enlarged the pool. I am trying to see if they will both use the shower at the same time. But sad news.... apparently one of the shower heads broke and made an enormous (8 squares) puddle. Evan has minor repair skills, and I thought he could try and if it didn't work they'd call the repairman. But unfortunately he started freaking out and shaking his hands up and down. I thought he was just frustrated. I heard the camera take a picture and thought, how funny, the game took a picture of him freaking out. Then it told me HE DIED! I suppose he got electrocuted, from plumbing? In any event since I did not save I will have to start all over again with my remodelling just after they got married. Aargh.

MissLibra, you are probably talking about the nudes from the wage of sim site. I don't particular like them, I want my Sims to look realistically naked (and not Ken and Barbie) to add to the realism of the game but the fact that they seem to be pretty happy ALL THE TIME is not at all realistic and I don't need to see that. If I can remember where I got some Sims that are unhappy I will let you know. Whichever set I have, the females are drawn decently, the males are not but better than the alternative!

Happy all the time? What sims do you have? Crazydog? LOL Oh I hope you feel better soon.

I am sorry to hear that you lost Evan via electrocuted from the pipes. (*snicker*...sorry but that is kinda funny) Well strange things happen when sims don't have any skills.

As far as downloading objects goes....
Unless they're specalized objects like downtown shops for Hot Date most things can be utilized for the main game or any expansion packs. Good sites always tell you which expansion pack you will need.

So I spent the day playing with my little people. Mostly I just finished the strip club complete with lovely neon sign from http://www.8thdeadlysim.com this the pay site from http://www.7deadlysims.com (my main place) they give you more ahh dark and well risuqe stuff.

They do make great furniture for a nightclub. Complete with bar and dancing pole. (Since the sims couldn't really use the pole...I did without it and used the cages instead.


Oh MissL instead of getting homes from the sims exchange at thesims.com I downloaded Maxis (makers of the game) houses. They're a lot faster to download and are in a .exe file
http://thesims.ea.com/us/getcool/homes.html

The houses are pretty nice. I think I used one as a basis for one of my homes but I change things around so much I forget which one. LOL

Silhouette Simsville Update –


NIGHTCLUB – SIM X
The mysterious business has bulldozed the old Goth place and relocated the graveyard on a hill. It seems that the new business is town turns out to be a bar/strip club. Who knows what else that dark little house will bring in.

It seems that as soon as the club owner, Red and barely turned on the glaring neon SIM X sign that one of the neighbors dropped by for a “welcome to Simsville” visit.

Red was so pleasantly shocked that he sent out his employees to greet the friendly townies. So out they came, the sultry lingerie clad Lala, hot pink wearing Candy, dark chocolate Candy, leopard wrapped Trixi , bejeweled Emerald and head manager Serene. Before the neighbor, Demetrius one of Lady B Widow’s companions could open his mouth, another male came by from Lady B’s house…Evan! Both gents were warmly welcomed by Red just before he took his nominal cover charge.

I don’t know what’s going to happen when a woman or women finally comes to visit Club SIM X.

BROTHERS -
On the other side of the street it seems that the brothers:
Leo, Aries, Scorpio, Derek, Virgil, Cain, Richard & Troy

Out of these 8 crazy men the youngest….Green haired Scorpio has gotten a job as a street musician. The fact that he’s only had three music lessons doesn’t stop him. The fact that his brothers constantly boo and hiss while he’s practicing does not distract him from his goal….To be a rock star someday. Perhaps he’ll make it.

Derek decided to follow suit,…business suit that is. He’s taken up his job in the mailroom and who knows maybe he’ll be CEO someday.

For now the other 6 are enjoying living in their tiki/bamboo pseudo Hawaiian dream.

SILHOUETTE -
Ms. & Evelyn Silhouette
Well the Silhouette sisters seem to be keeping to themselves they’ve been pretty quiet. But there has been a rumor that Evelyn has been keeping late hours with the new business owner Red. Money seemed to be their main topic of discussion. Poor Ms. Silhouette was busy sleeping but she did hear a car pull away. As she fell back to sleep reminded herself to ask her new sister about the visitor.

Will Evelyn tell the truth or deny it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m having a good time and I’m taking a lot of pictures. I have a feeling that the women of Simsville aren’t gonna be too happy about their men visiting SIM X at all hours of the night.

LOL MsS I wish my Sims were mood bar happy all the time. They seem to complain about their Sim lives more than I do about my real one! Actually when I mentioned constantly happy Sims I was talking in reference to Miss Libra's comments about the male nude sims, they seem particularly excited to be alive, which I didn't particularly enjoy seeing.

In retrospect, the whole episode of Evan getting electocuted while trying to fix the shower was pretty funny... I don't blame you for laughing. The funniest part was that I didn't realize what was going on, I thought he was just having a breakdown. He really looked like he was in a moshpit - arms flailing everywhere. You should have seen my reaction when the game told me he died and all of a sudden there was this urn in my brand new walk in shower. I thought it was pretty funny myself, I just wish I had saved before hand.

So I had to redo all of my additions to the house, and apparently at the time I had saved Bob Newbie was coming over because Bella seems better at making friends than Evan. Am I correct in saying that in order for Evan to get promoted, the family needs to keep adding friends, but not necessarily made by Evan, the one who has the job? I've decided I don't really like Bob. Why isn't he at work during the day? He comes over in his ratty T-shirt with beer gut, eats all of Bella's food and leaves the trash on the floor. He uses the bathroom without asking and doesn't even wash his hands. (I suppose Evan isn't much neater, but I'm a lot more partial to him, after all, remember he must be a stud because he steals other men's women. LOL) I'm just using Bob until someone better comes long. On that note, in order to have more people in the Sim neighborhood, do I have actually to create them? It seems the only families right now are Evan and Bella, Bella's other husband Mortimer (and their child), and Bob and Betty Newbie. (I'm not sure why Bella can't call Betty, she'd probably have a much more enjoyable time talking to her... maybe Betty works and Bob stays at home?) No one yet lives in that huge house or the really tiny one, or next smallest one. I guess I'm still early in the game and I need to be patient!

Bella seems to be growing increasingly disgruntled with the maid. The maid frequently forgets to pick up things, and I see Bella with an irritated look and a thought bubble that had either the maid or the garbage. Is there a way I can hire two maids?

Oh, and I feel MUCH better, just a bit of a stomach bug that thankfully seems to have gone away.

Crazy, glad to hear you're feeling better...

You're correct about the friends making for job promotion. When you reach a certain level there's a friends requirement. And YES the person making the friend doesn't have to be the one with the job. It's FAMILY friends that count, doesn't matter who makes them.

Sadly you can only hire one made...BUT (crap I don't remember if this is with the orginal sims or not..If there's a robot (in the electronics section of BUY MODE - icon of a remote) you can get that does the cleaning all night long until he's finished. It costs about 15,000 but he's worth it. Only thing is that you have to remember to have a Sim turn him on before you go to bed. :)

All my sims needed at least 18 family friends to be promoted to the top of their careers, then they change and do another vocation till that's topped out so if you keep playing the game they will do all the careers. Mine have. But, I now have 4 Criminal Masterminds. Where they go from there is anyone's guess.

I've still got six male sims working and the unemployed one that keeps all the family friend relationships intact. He's done well downtown. He made 27 friends but I'm going to quit working him so hard and let them drop back down to 18 or 19 friends. He's pooped. All that womanizing is hard work. That old saying, "Too many women and too little time" has been proven correct in this game.

I am now making female counterparts for them by making them have compatible astrogical (sp?) signs and by having the female sims read magazines about sports, romance, etc. so that each couple will have the exact interests. Each couple, of course have slightly different interests. I wouldn't want them all the same anyway.

I've tried this on one couple and they seem to really be hitting it off well. A perfect match? Hmmm...don't know yet. I still want to get some of her skill levels up before trying to make them marry.

Mssil & Crazydog, you can hire two maids if you have the male maid. I have two maids in all of my houses. And I like having two a lot better then the one. And the male maid he comes right out to the house immediately when you make the call, no matter the time of day. He also returns everyday around the same the the female maid arrives. To me he seems to clean better then the female maid.

Well the guys at the player's club have settle in. I'm still making changes to their place. The club is downstairs and their living space where they sleep and eat is upstairs. I normarly would make the place they party at separate from their home.

I would of put eight in there, but it's hard for me to keep up with those five. Right now none of them are working because I'm trying to see what would happen if I just let them build up there skills points, and their friends points and then start their careers.

They have plenty of Women dropping by all day long, but the Women are playing hard to get,not to mention the fact that some of the Men seem to like giving each other back rubs, instead of talking to their female visitors. So none of them have hooked up with any of the Women yet. Some player's they are! LOL

One of the guys blew up the chemistry set while making a potion, that caught me off guard didn't know it would blow up like that. You never know what might happen in this game. :) He was lucky he didn't lose his life. He got mad because I made him repair it.

Crazydog, glad to hear your feeling better. And yes you have to build more homes in the neighborhood, and create more Sims. If you don't you will only continue to see those few Sims that you see now.

Mssil, thanks for that link I'm going there now to check out those homes. I'm not quite ready to start on my second neighborhood just yet though. Still adding finishing touches on my first one.

Judy, I'm so glad I wasn't alone in seeing that green moss stuff, and you were right it was the top of a tree coming up through the floor. LOL

Yes Crazydog my Male Sims are quite happy! And some still look like barbie dolls. LOL I actually find humor in seeing them like that. But if I can find some calmer skins for my Males that would be cool too. :)

Mssil, I checked out that link for the houses and I have trouble with corrupt data or missing data with those Maxis houses. Not all the time but enough so that I wont download houses from them anymore. I'm going to download one of your houses and Judy's house now and add them to my second neighborhood.

And now that I know how to build my own homes I have been doing that instead of downloading homes. It's a lot more fun... a lot of time but fun to see what you can create on your own, and I don't having to worry about my game crashing because a house on my lot has corrupt data.

I want a Neon sign for my Player's club... I didn't know they had neon signs like that. It would have to be at that pay site... darn it! They have so many things on the net for these Sims I'm wondering what don't they have. :)

I hadn't played SIMS in a long time (6 weeks), so it was like getting to know them all again.. 5 full neighborhoods, many with maxed skills & pals but like msg above I don't like them changing a career until I'm ready! My mastermind decided to go straight and became a cop :( but I have 3 cops already.. I've never d/l a Maxis house because from the earliest ones they have known bugs, it's more fun to build my own. I updated to Livin Large but won't get House Party or Hot Date since they're not 100% compat with my pc and not enuff new stuff in them for the $$.. I've made my own wallpapers & floors since May 2000, too, I think I enjoy the dollhouses I never had as a kid! I never thought I'd say it, but playing it bores me after a few weeks, after 2 years playing daily. I'll always return to them, but lately my gaming centers on RPG online where (gulp) I'm the living Sim or that's what it feels like! :)

MissL good to know about the male maid. I usually just get the robot and have a Sim turn him on after everyone goes to bed.

Now I know someone that might be able to get you that neon sign MissL ;) but actually the fee for the site is pretty darn cheap. I'm trying to DL everything before my subscription expires.

I didn't know that Maxis houses were buggy, I used them without problems. But why bother with something that might corrupt your game. I say leave it and build your own....or download a friend's

Crazydog, I have the total number of friends required for the LEVEL 10 (max).

This will be from my Strategy Guide. (Reminder: It’s for LIVING LARGE but House Part didn't really add any new jobs) Now this book does give the skill and friends levels required for each position up to the last one, but I'll only list the final level.

OK, now I've made a family of four brothers that moved into that red brick mansion so that Evan and Bella have new friends. I'm also making a family of five sisters, but none of the existing houses are big enough so I will have to build from scratch (or download one of yours!)

I downloaded the male maid but he seems to have simply replaced the default female maid... I can't seem to get the option to have both the female and the male maid.

Now that Evan and Bella's house is fairly large, I'm wondering why I'm getting so few points for "layout" on the house bar. Does that mean my house is too cluttered?

What happens to each Sim family when I am playing another family in their own house? For example, when I am controlling the Brothers, are Evan and Bella being run by the computer? I don't want them setting fire to the house or killing themselves while I'm tending to someone else.

After the brothers moved in, they began dropping by Evan and Bella's house. I've found that the quickest way to make friends with them is to have Bella compliment, joke and flirt with them. Unfortunately one time Evan came home as Bella was hugging one of the brothers. Apparently he's got keen eyes because he was still on the street near the car and Bella was near the front door. Evan walked right over to the brother and slapped him, resulting in an immediate -40 friendship points. No matter, Bella's got an 80 with him.

Oh, one last question, I downloaded a better hot tub. But now when people are in there and talking, I see the positive relationship points above their head but the actual score doesn't change. Is this the way it should be or is it a bug with the tub?

Mssilhouette

Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 02:34 pm Click here to edit this post
Crazy, let's answer those questions! :)

#1 - Points for layout. Layout if you click on the word will tell you that you get points for having things easily accessable. Meaning how long does it take a sim to get to the bathroom, kitchen. I think if your house is small you seem to get more points for this. Basically how well can a sim move around the house. Sometimes it takes my sims a while to shower then go downstairs to the kitchen.

#2 - What happens to each sim Family when you're playing as another? Nothing. The game doesn't continue other families while you're playing as one. To clarify, If you're playing with the Brothers. THe computer DOES NOT order Evan & Bella to ignite the place on fire. The game will ONLY send Evan or Bella to the Brothers house or to walk by on the street.

BUT if one of the Brothers makes friends with Evan or Bella that will show when you switch to play as that family. Other than that your families time and movement are frozen. In fact if you'll notice, each house basically has its own time. No one is every on the same schedule. :)

Leave one family in the dark and when you come back to them they'll still be in the dark.

#3 - Downloded a better hot tub? Okay sometimes the relationship points in the hottub only go up by 1 point or so. But it always helps your SOCIAL score. Which is the point. Try using the old hot tub and see what happens.


By the way Sims in love 70-100 pts (I think) are extremly jealous. You cannot have Bella flirt, compliment, kiss, or hug another Sim in front of Evan. Or vise versa. Now as long as Evan isn't in the room you can do as you like. But if Evan sees then you'll have what happened. Evan will hate that person and go over and slap them.

Just have Bella make friends when Evan isn't around. Because the negative effect may get worse and you'll have a fight on your hands :)

Hey Resortgirl,
Since I'm lazy about retyping stuff...I just went back through the posts and found my little blurb about downloading my houses.

I will say this. If you download a house from TheSims.com (Maxis Made) it'll be in a exe file. If you get one from their Sims Exchange then it'll automatically be placed in the game....I think

If you get houses from any other sims site, they'll probably have it all in a zip file with placement instructions.

But the stuff I pasted below will tell you where the houses need to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay whew! I've finished uploading my Sims neighborhood webpages. AND the zip file contanining the Houses .iff files.

You want to unzip the .iff file into the default location of:
\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\UserData\Houses

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you unzip or download a house file into that location make sure its ONLY The .iff file. Then the next time you start the game the house will show up.

Just remember that the UserData files correspond to the Neighborhood number.

UserData = Neighborhood 1
UserData2 = Neighborhood 2
...and so on.

Place the house files into the neighborhood you want.

Crazydog you may not have that option for two maid if you don't have livin large or house party expansion pack on your computer, I have both expansion packs on mine and was lucky to have the option of two maids at the same time. One option saids Mr Maid, and the other just say Maid. They are seperate from each other.

Judy, I got your house in my second neighborhood. You did a good job! :) I like the way you had it furnished. I did wonder about one thing though, how did you build out of bounds? There was a small part at the top of the house near the roof that was out of bounds.

I tried to build on to it, but it kept saying that portion of the house was out of bounds. I moved two couples into that house, who happen to be nudist. I Made the childs room bigger, and added a upstairs and balcony. The Sims i move into your house like it. The first thing they did was go to the night club and start dancing on there own.I Usually have to make my other Sims dance. I also like they way you had the night club set up.

I had no trouble what so ever with your house causing problems with my game and I appreciate that very much! :) I want to send you my first house I made from scratch. I'll send it to you by email if that is ok with you.

Mssil, I had trouble downloading any of your houses. All those windows popping up on that site was causing some problems. I have a program that closes those pop up windows but then the page wouldn't load.

I had one all picked out and everything then my computer froze. So I had to shut my puter down and use Netscape instead of explorer to see if Netscape would download it for me. Still couldn't download it. I'm going back to your site now and try it again. If I continue to have problems maybe you can send it to me by email... please ?

Riviere maybe you can give us some good tips on making our own walls and floors. Have you ever tried to make your own objects before ? I wonder if it's hard ?

Resortgirl I didn't know you had the Sims to... cool !! :)

Mssil thanks for all this good info it helps a lot. Are you getting this info from that book you have? I'll go check out the pay site since you said it was cheap to join. And I'll let you know to if I will need you to send that house by email, I'm going now to try and download from your site.

Crazydog where did you get that other hottub from?

Judy i remember you saying something about running across a better love bed, do you have it on your server? I would like to get it if you do.

Mssil I'm going to send you a email. I would like to get the nightclub from you. I was also wondering to if you download a house all ready furnished and you don't have some of the objects the house have will they be added to your objects so that they will appear in your buy mode so I can buy them for my other houses?

aaahhhh, that explains about the two maids. I haven't yet gotten an expansion so that makes a lot of sense.

I have a hot tub called the "playa hot tub" that has better mood points than the regular one. I think (but am not completely sure) that I got it from thesimsresource.com. I am not a member so it is a little frustrating, you can still download for free but it won't let you search so you just have to look through every page. From the description, it seems the Sims are supposed to get in naked every time, but mine don't. Maybe it's because I don't yet have an expansion.

Something tells me I need to get an expansion! I haven't been playing much lately because I've been too busy downloading songs and whatnot. The perils of getting a new computer and a cable modem and being able to browse the web at home without fear of the worknazis looking at what you are looking at. Joy joy joy!

Yes MissL- there are 2 lovebeds on my server in the Sims Stuff Folder.
Hey Crazy- if you feel like it - email me that Tub and I will try it out in House Party & put it on the server for everyone else. I know it's a pain at Simsresource to go through all that stuff! It took forever to find the love beds.

MisL- when you dl a house that has objects that you don't have in your game-it will just tell you 'some objects could not be loaded' when you click on that house to play with it. They will not be included in your buy section.

Hi Judy I sent you my house by email I hope it worked for you ok? And I made a mistake when I said I build a upstairs for your house the nightclub is the upstairs, my bad but I did make balconies upstairs.

Judy I tried to download the lovebed from your server. It said it would take 51 minutes. I thought it may say 51 minutes but it wont really take that long since I have a cable modem. Boy was I wrong, I stopped the download because it was taking so long. I couldn't figure why just downloading a bed would take so long?

I also got a membership with the 8 deadly sins after saying that I wouldn't pay. It was cheap, a little over 3 dollars is all it cost. They had quite a few love beds to pick from there. Judy I have a offer for you that you wont be able to refuse I'll send you a email about it. And do you have ICQ? I have some things I want to send you and it might be to much to send by email. :)

Mssil, I was going to email you, but I didn't see a addy for you. I wanted the widow's house and the nightclub. I didn't even see a download button to download from. What am I suppose to click on to download the homes at your site?

I have a couple in one of my houses who loves to play the piano and guitar. In fact that is all they want to do when they get home from work. They play like their possessed. They don't want to stop playing for company and gets upset when I make them stop and socialized when neighbors drop by. Right now they are both lobbyist. I guess I need to change their career tracks to musician. I may have some super rock stars on my hands. :)

Judy, just sent you the "playa" tub. Let us know how it works for you! Maybe they will only get in naked if they have full "playful" points.... I think Evan is at 8, not full.

MissL - Sorry you're having so much trouble on my site. I picked popup because it seemed that the embedded banners were causing trouble to that Sims webpage template. It was the lesser of two evils. I just took a look and see that they've added MORE pop up window(S) than before. No wonder your browser crashed.

Anyway if you still want to email me send it to my name (mssilhouette) @aol.com or silhouettestudios.com
(if you have trouble with one..send it to the other)

The nightclub isn't complete yet so I haven't made it available for downloading. Also I have used a LOT of objects from 8thdeadlysim.com and it won't look right without that stuff :)
Like the nightclub hot tub which is black and purple.

Also I'm going to mirror my site on geocities just in case.

Yes I"m getting all my Sims tips and info from the book. The Sims Living Large Strategy Guide by Prima. http://www.primagames.com

Most of the tips I post come from the book or from my playing the game. But stuff like jobs and neighbors drop by times, come directly from book.

I stopped trying to get stuff from thesimsresource.com because as you said it takes to long. I get ALL my objects from 7deadlysims.com and since they have skins, I snatch those too.

I've been so busy this week my poor sims haven't had a chance to grow. But I will be back at work changing and ruining their little lives.

I was going to include direct download links to the houses but it seems that tripod doesn't allow one to do that. Sheesh! That's it! I'm moving to geocities. What a load!

I'll give direct links a little later.
