    One of the big reasons that my writing around here has kind of slowed down is (1) I have to grade students for the midterm reports, and (2) I've rediscovered the main reason I chose a PC for my first computer instead of a Mac:  The Sims. Original version #1.

    And just for the fun of it, I decided to take the characters from some of my writings and plop them into houses in this game.

    And I put the guys there, no probs.  And Xavier's Mom from For Their Own Good.

    But there are no other females in the neighborhood. 🙁

    Y'see, there are three generic body framework "meshes" for Sims characters:  Thin, Fat, and Fit.  And while the females look very nice and "fitness" for the Fit body… it's nowhere near the forum's tastes in muscular, buxom, or "whole lotta woman." 

    So I'm wondering… are there any of you guys that fiddled around with The Sims and designed your own characters properly?  Skins and meshes?

    I can't do that sort of thing, but luckily there are people who can…and their work is pretty spectacular:

    Uh… thanks, but that link's for The Sims 2.  I was looking for The Sims 1.  The old, outdated version. ^^;;;

    Guess the search continues…

    Nah, you tried.  🙂 Thanks for that.  That was more help than anyone else has offered so far.  I'll be ready if/when I get The Sims 2.

    I remember trying to modify this game and been wanting to again (I just started playing it again myself)…all I need to know how to do is getting the models into the game. :

    I'm actually a mac user now (macbook pro), and I have my computer set to run both XP and OS X. Fun stuff, really. 😀
