Gentle simmers, please forgive Your Humble Moderator for being a bit late with this post. A most vile bacterium has invaded her sinuses and is trying to eat her brain. The effort of fighting it off has drained her energy. Apologies.

(She has also, obviously, been playing too much Echo Bazaar.)

Last post.

Have a project you've been sitting on for ages but don't have the time/skills to complete it? Looking for a long-term collaborator for a series of projects you're planning? Want someone to test/give feedback on something? DO YOU NEED A COLLABORATOR OF ANY KIND, FOR ANY SIM-RELATED REASON AT ALL? This is the thread for you. Reply to this comment with the details of your project/idea/what have you and if someone's interest, they can comment back to you and you can sort out the details.

Note: This is not a request thread. The point is not for you to ask people to make things for you, but with you, cool? Cool!

Adara, I, and a few members from my website are collaborating together to recreate the World of Warcraft for both Sims 2 and Sims 3. All are welcome to join. We're trying to focus on the Sims 2 one first but if you prefer Sims 3, you can of course get started on that one with Adara.

Just send a PM to me at my DW, LJ, homesite, Insimenator... (My username is the same at all of them).

Want to see more of a particular something in sims creations? Reply here. If you think there's a lack of cute elder clothes, or a particular brand of fantasy-style CC, a body mesh you really love or type of hair style, tell us!

The point of this thread is to hopefully inspire people to make more of whatever you think is lacking. Again, it's not for specific requests, there are other places for that. This is just to give a general idea of what you would personally like to see more of from creators.

As an Anonymouse posted in last week's thread, Maxis completer sets! Various creators such as HugeLunatic and Leesester have done a great job expanding things, but I want MOAR. More Old World build set, more make-matching recolours across build sets, more matching furniture.

This week, I seem to find myself wishing for pregmorphs for various ages (TF, AM, AF, EM, EF, because the elder slouchy saggy lends itself well to maternity wear)-- I even made a list when Cynnix asked-- good wooden floors (none of this 'one ludicrously long plank' nonsense, please), and new face templates.

Have some resources you'd like to share? Websites that are good for textures or meshes, or just have really pretty pictures that inspire you to create? How about tutorials you've found to be really helpful? Comment here!

Hi-res Splatter Brushes for Photoshop CS1+. These are amazing used in making grungy and worn textures.

How was your week in sims? TELL US ALL ABOUT IT IN THIS THREAD. We would like to know about your new legacy heir or your conquer of that mesh with which you were doing battle!

I managed to make a few things before the SINUS INFECTION OF DOOM ate too much of my head for me to think. So I've actually been playing at my glacially slow pace, and got a few babies and fetuses aged up to child!

I don't know how anyone manages to play legacies or multiple households with any speed, considering I'm so slow when I keep the game on speed 2. XD

There will be MOAR hair mesh conversions when I feel better, oh yes.

May I just say, yay for conversions! Age, gender, reduced groups, anything that gives me more options, I am totally in favor of.

Slow games are kinda fun, though. You get to know your Sims as the quirky little panicky weirdos they are.

And I do indeed hope the sinus infection of doom un-dooms you-- I'm still kinda cheesed off at my brother-in-law for the ague he bestowed on me and Mom.

I need to get your texture-referencing tutorial to work. But my internet connection sucks right now and I can barely do anything. :|

(I'm trying to TR Victoria dress recolours onto Marja's teen mesh)

HAIR. I finally finished enough for a dump! After three damn tries at that stupid Nouk long ponytail mesh! HAIR!

Next dump will be Rose hairs.

I HEARD YOU LEFT THE COMPUTER AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK. What was that like? If you just want to blather or let off steam about the week you had outside of sims, share non-sim links of interest or what have you, this is the thread for it!

Now is the time at Hat's house when we clean. The lower drawer of the dishwasher is leaking (luckily we have one of those fancy two-drawer dishwashers which I highly recommend if you're in the market for one), part of the fridge busted, and the washing machine won't agitate, so it's time to clean everything and call the Sears guy.

If you would like us to add a thread or have a question about the existing ones, reply here!
