Sims 2 model pose box

The mod is well thought out too. Talk about teamwork! The modder even went further as to add enhanced reactions for children who are knowledgeable in Fire Safety. They are now likely to use the nearest phone to call the fire department, instead of being completely useless.

Good times. Well this mod fixes that. Be careful though, as you might end up reacting too late. Ghosts play a large part in the Sims games as they have a number of activities that affect gameplay.

There are multiple fixes to Ghost mechanics in Sims 2, but Cyjon built on the previous versions to create his own. Among the changes include Amok Servos, where servos who are scared to death will run amok instead of die. The Pushy Scares tweak makes it so that ghosts can now successfully scare sleeping sims instead of having to wait for them to get out of bed.

How nice of them! Players can build and decorate their dream houses, down to the little details like vases and picture frames. CEP gives you much more options in terms of customizing objects, as it enables color settings for Maxis objects in the base game. If you prefer to focus on the sims themselves instead of building, Sim Blender is the ultimate tool for that.

You can manually set or remove relationship flags. Forming relationships, making a family, and going through your sim life.

Significant experiences makes the Sims series truly exciting. This directly impacts romantic relationships as they are no longer possible for second cousins. Great grandparents now have the option to family kiss or encourage their great grandchildren as well. This one is aimed specifically towards teens and up, making their romantic relationships more interesting.

Well if this is something you can relate to, you can probably already tell how this mod adds that sense of realism to your Sims experience.

You now have the option to decide if a relationship is not going anywhere serious, and to agree to just be friends. In line with that, you ever notice how that cinematic of sending a child off to college seems to always be a little… off?

It makes that scene much more realistic as well. You can decide for yourself how many children you will give birth to, assign the odds for children, or keep it completely random. Fun stuff! The have and adopt a child mechanic also has its flaws as they are completely separated in the game. With this quick fix, that will no longer be an issue as having a child satisfied the adoption want, and vice versa.

The actual task of caring for each and every toddler can get quite tedious. You simply place the bowl on the floor, add some cereal, and voila. Your toddlers can eat on their own. Worse mods have been made. For all the pet-lovers out there, your pets can now choose to sleep on the foot of the bed while being used by a child. Take note, though, that once the child becomes an adult this will no longer be possible. They can still sleep on an empty side of a double bed though.

So if you like to keep your pets close check this one out. With thorough playtesting, each life stage has been increased to give the game a more realistic feel in terms of growing up. The base game included 10 options for job tracks.

But with all the expansion packs you can find even more exclusive career tracks for the game. The Job Seeking Noticeboard actually makes a lot of sense: it adds a job board posting in community lots. As stated by the modder himself, this is a great choice for poorer sims who just can shell out cash for a new fancy-schmancy Steve Jobs device. Among the available Lifetime Wants in the Sims 2, there were actually four college career paths that were added in the University expansion pack but later removed.

This mod brings those four Lifetime Wants back, as your sim may want to reach the top levels of the Artist, Natural Science, Paranormal, or Showbusiness careers. As some sims may aspire to raise multiple pets or become Mayor, your sim may prefer a career as an Ecological Guru, a Visionary in the world of arts, or even a Cult Leader.

Secondly, cockroaches in the Sims are nasty little pests that spawn when the environment is dirty. They cause your sims an unbelievable level of discomfort by cancelling actions and distracting them until the issue is resolved. The easiest way to get rid of these pests is stomping them out , but the success rate is pretty low. Making a roach infestation even more of an unwanted stress. This simple mod fixes that problem. You can also ask for help writing your description in the Creator Feedback Forum.

Make sure your upload text contains at least the following information: The name, price and category in which your pose box can be found. Pose Names must be included in full somewhere on the upload post but it's up to you if they are in the main text or just on the images or both. It should be clear which name corresponds to which item in the pie menu so downloaders don't have to try every pose to find the one they want.

Props or Custom Content Links: If your poses use props that someone else made, you must link to them. Please don't make poses that require content you have to pay for. New Mesh Info: If you have made a new mesh to use as a prop for your pose and have included it in the file, must include the same information you would as if uploading it separately.

Make sure to select only the expansions needed for the content you're uploading but remember; unless you have unchecked all your EPs and SPs in the SimPE file table before cloning your posebox, it will require the EPs you have installed. You will need to include certain screenshots with your pose set. You must: Show the whole thing: You should have at least one picture of each and every pose you are sharing, showing the whole thing without anything cut off or cropped out.

Uncovered: Make sure not to cover the pose with long hair, text added in a photo editor, objects in the way, or your model in clothing like long fluffy skirts that hide a lot of the body. Include Additional Angles if Necessary: Your images should show at least the key elements of each pose which are the face, hands and limb joints.

You may need to show side on views or take a few shots from additional angles if the pose cannot be adequately seen in a single picture. Props: If you made a new mesh to be used specifically with your pose set and have included it with your poses, you must include the proper pictures of the object as if it were uploaded separately. You should, of course, show them in use with your poses, too! Pose Box: Please show the pose box in game or the icon to be used in game.

Pose animation: If you're sharing a pose animation, it's always good to show off how it moves with either a video or gif. This way your downloaders can see what you're sharing and how your animation moves.

If you're a little clueless on how to do this, it's always good to start off with making an in-game video. This is all explained here: [ Picture Taking and Movie Making ] After that you can easily put your video on Youtube, Vimeo or any other hosting site straight from your SavedVideos folder onto the hosting site of your liking! If you'd like to know how to create a video into a gif, here are some excellent videos on how to do this: Photoshop CC Photoshop CS6 and older GIMP Please remember, for your required pictures: In-Game Screenshots: All required screenshots must be taken in the game with actual in-game backgrounds.

Please don't cut and paste your models onto non-game backgrounds. Images should be lit well enough to show the poses and not so overly cluttered and fussy that it's difficult to see where the pose ends and the background begins. Keep the following in mind for your screenshots, especially the required ones: Size: pixels wide by pixels tall is a good size for the smallest pic you would want to upload. Your images can be up to x pixels, and kb, so you have lots of space to work with!

Lighting: For most things, it's best to take pictures in an interior room with good lighting. For lots, pictures should be taken during a nice sunny day, for floorplans, take the pictures with the lights ON. Distance: Take your pictures so that your creation fills the screen without anything cut off at top or bottom - neither zoomed in too close, nor zoomed out too far. Distortion: If you resize your images, retain the aspect ratio so they don't get stretched or squashed.

Take care when zooming in and out with the camera that you do not create a fisheye effect on your pictures. Photoshopping: Do not apply filters like sharpen, contrast, etc. Attached: All required images must be attached directly to the MTS upload, not just inserted using the img tag, so that even if the pics get deleted from your Photobucket or other host , the upload on MTS is still complete. Show all items: For most areas, if you are uploading a set, you must take all the required pics for each item in the set.

If there is an exception, it will be noted. Picture limit: You may upload up to pictures for a single upload thread, so feel free to add some additional pictures just to show off your work to its best. Of course, keep it reasonable - nobody needs 50 pics to show off one sim or hair.

Inline pictures: Inline pictures are those that use the [img] tag to show up in with the description text. So that it doesn't take too long to load, please keep this to no more than 4 pictures done inline, unless you put them inside an [infobutton] tag.

To do this, see our guide on post formatting. Screenshot tips Camera Controls: Take some time to just play around with the camera. If you haven't taken many sim pictures before, here is a list of camera controls: TAB : Puts the game into Cameraman mode, allowing better and more control of the camera, and removing the blue user interface. Make sure you are in live mode before going into Cameraman mode or you will see grid lines on the ground and floating where floor tiles may be placed.

You can either exit to the neighborhood and return to take more pictures, or instead just move a family in for taking your pics. W and S : W moves the camera forward. S moves it backward. A and D : A moves the camera left. D moves it right. Q and E : Q lowers the camera. E raises it. Windowed Mode: TS2: In order to take your pictures using the methods described here, you will need your game running in a window, so you can easily switch to other applications without causing major instability and lag.

Windowed mode should be perfectly safe - in fact, some users actually report better game performance when running in a window. Your mileage may vary. TS3: In Sims 3, you can use windowed mode by simply choosing it in your game's options. Windowed mode will allow you to use Print Screen or FRAPS or whatever screenshotting program you desire, without getting dark pictures. If you choose to NOT use windowed mode for TS3, you must use the C key to take pictures using the in-game camera - taking pictures fullscreened in TS3 without using the C key will result in icky dark screenshots.

C Key vs. Print Screen: TS2: In order to take nice big pics, you should not use the game's screenshot system, using the C key or the camera button on the game's controls to take your pictures.

Even on the highest picture settings, pictures will still be small, with a very high level of JPEG compression, making them blurry and crunchy.

Instead, use Print Screen or a screenshot program. TS3: The C key camera is much improved in TS3, making it possible to use to take pictures for upload and still have nice big, pretty pictures. You can still use a screenshot program or print screen if you desire, but you will need to run your game in Windowed Mode see above to keep your pictures from getting dark.

Screenshot Programs: There are many programs available, free and pay, that will take screenshots for you by using a hotkey, and save them to a folder - just like The Sims 2 with the C key, but with options for much better quality settings. Fraps Gadwin Irfanview A quick Google search for 'free screenshot program' will also bring up many other options, which may have other features that are of interest to you. Optimizing, Editing, and Compressing Images: Many simmers struggle with getting their images to be clear, crisp and under the maximum file size while keeping the image size larger than px by px.

To upload your file s to MTS, you will need to compress them into an archive file, which makes them smaller and allows you to include many files in one download. The archive file formats we currently accept are. Do not include multiple archives with the same contents - that is, please don't put your files in both a. Choose one format. Do not double-compress your files The file size limit on MTS is 50 mb.

If you exceed this limit you will need to split your archives. This should probably never come up except for large worlds for The Sims 3, or huge sets of smaller items. These items are not allowed on MTS in any category. No uploads requiring pay content : We do not host content for example, recolours of a pay hair or object mesh that absolutely require pay content to function in-game.
