Some Frequently Asked Questions.
My Email is at the bottom if you still have questions, concerns, riddles, logic puzzles or just think I'm a sorta cool guy. Unfortunately, operators are not standing by.
How do I get the skins into my game?
Sims2: Unzip the file into your game's Downloads or Savedsims folders.
Sims1: Unzip the file into the Gamedata/Skins folder. Then buy Sims2.
You cannot save clothing, skins, hair or makeup to any subfolders within these folders. Sims do not like organization and will ignore any skin that is neatly put away in its own subfolder.
How do I download? Why won't the skin download?
Click the picture and a separate download window will open. Many of my Sims1 skins will display a transparent blue or red bar when you hover your mouse over the picture. Click that bar to open the download window.
There is a daily download limit of 200MB for my site. The download window will tell you if the limit has been reached. The clock resets daily but I'm not sure when.
Yeah, yeah, I did all that but the skin still won't download and I know in my heart that the limit hasn't been reached.
You need to turn off any download accelerator programs you may be
using because they won't work with my host's server. You may also
try a different browser window for the site. I use Firefox and sometimes Internet Explorer. Other than that, I can't offer any suggestions. Many (but not all) of the skins are also at the Yahoo group if you can't download from here.
No. It's not possible since there are too many, but I'll listen to
suggestions. Feel free to post in the suggestions section of the Guestbook.
Some caveats, I dislike when someone asks repeatedly for the same
skin, asks repeatedly whether it's done yet, or includes statements like "How come you never...", "How can you not have...", "Why don't you have more (insert nationality x)? Are you prejudiced against (x)?" or my favorite "Why do you make clothes I don't like?". My parents' jobs are already filled and so Nagging Nellies can apply elsewhere.
Do you take requests?
I made a Sim using your clothes. May I upload it to the Sims Exchange or MTS2?
You used my clothes on your sim? Bless your fashion challenged heart. Of course you may share it. I'd love a mention in your description. Have you ever considered an eye exam?
May I post your skins for download at my site?
Ask first. I'm not sure why you'd want to post my skins, and I doubt I'd go for it, but we can talk about it.
Feel free to recolor, modify or use parts of my skins in your own skins. But please ask before offering them for download. I'm a small site and just want to make sure that my ego is properly tended to. You may freely distribute any meshes I make
You may not recolor, modify or use parts of my
skins for donation, pay or profit. This includes offering
them on paysites or selling them for "virtual" money in
games like "The Sims Online" or "There".
Wait a sec. Did you just use the term "Nagging Nellies"?
Can you teach me how to skin?
Ummm, no.
There are lots of great skinning tutorials, but you won't find them
at this site. I suffer from a medical condition I call "whendidIbecome- suchafreakinoldman-itis" and I tend to make my skins in a methodical,
labor-intensive manner that is completely oblivious to any sort of
correct use of the paint program.
Instructions from me would most closely resemble a Saturday Night
Live skit featuring the Anal-Retentive Chef. "Hmmm, a stray pixel!
No problem, just create a folder labeled "Mistakes" and save the skin to
that folder. Now move the folder into your Trash folder. Now empty the
Trash folder. At this point you'll need to reboot your computer. OK, now
run your defrag program and in a few hours you'll be ready to begin the
skin again."
How do you pronounce FAQ?
It rhymes with laq.
I can't find one of the heads/skins pictured, can you
send it to me.
No, if it's not on the site, it's not available for distribution for various reasons.
Ginger or Mary Ann?
Definitely Mary Ann. Wait, can Green Hornet be there too?
That's all incredibly fascinating Dean, but I just came here for your email because you seemed like a pretty cool guy, but now I realize you're just an old bore.
Oh yeah, the email address. Click the envelope.
Please include "SimsGoGoGo" in the title so I
know you're not just trying to sell me viagra.
