Mansion and Garden Stuff

[strangetomato]

I'm not really here *waves hands around to confuse you* but I wanted to point out that there are some screencaps and item shots for Mansion and Garden Stuff on the Sims 2 website, if you haven't already seen it. There's a really cool looking ornamental grass there. I'm pretty pumped about the garden stuff.

I see some (pretty crappy looking) new hairstyles in those screenshots too, but they're probably new Sims 2 Store content (thus explaining the crappiness). I'm still annoyed that they made that side swept, angled, big-head male hair into the official male witches hair. It makes me even less interested in the witches than I already was, since that hair actually makes me angry when I look at it. But now I'm just ranting...

Oh, wait... I have one more hat-related gripe. The only hat I actually like, the cheese-cutter that came with AL, needs a version with short hair. I love those hats (a female version would be nice too, since I've been known to wear one on occasion), but it annoys me that the only option is that sort of lame longer male hair. I like that hair well enough, but it really doesn't work for everyone, and a short option would have been so much better.

I downloaded Milkshape with the intention of trying to piece together the two meshes myself, but my brain sort of shut down after a minute or two. I'll probably give it another try, though.

Okay, I'm gone for real this time... :P (Why am I such a dirty liar?)

LIAR!!!!! LEAVE NOW GODDAMNIT WE DON'T WANT FILTHY LIARS HERE! ...IN YOUR OWN JOURNAL. XD

Is it just me or does it look like they're nothing in that stuff pack? What is that- 18 items listed? I've noticed from the main website that they do list everything that comes in the packs, so that's a bit disappointing. In that case I'm wondering if those hairs really are included. They do look pretty crappy but I still would want to see them close up if they actually come with the SP.

LJ is like a drug, lol! MUST HAVE FIXXXXXXX!!!!

I totally am WITH you on that ugly ugly male hair being used with the witch hats. Ohhhh... I don't like it at all. I guess my only consolation is at least the game allows you to keep your witch/warlock in her/his own clothes and hair... but I do not look at that male hair and think "Warlock." :/ A better choice would have been the long-hair-to-the-side (that you had on Ripp at first) or even just the plain longish hair (what Ripp and Lazlo have to start... I can see warlocks with longish hair I guess, lol.) The female witch hair isn't so bad... but yeah, that male hair is just awful.

I'm definitely going to buy Mansion and Garden stuff. I wonder how many more stuff packs they'll have? I wonder if they'll even keep making stuff packs after TS3 comes out?

Haha, you do know you suck at breaks, right? :)

Not that I'm complaining.

The garden stuff in that pack does look pretty cool, but ... have you seen those sunflowers? Don't they look EXACTLY like the ones from Wood4Sims (if you've seen those)? I think they got the meshes from there, for real. :p

I agree about the male witch hair, I noticed that too. EA is cheap with their content sometimes. And about hats and hair - they'd better make hats an accessory instead of part of the hair in Sims 3, or I'll be a little upsey!

hey! this hiatus of yours isn't half as bad as i thought it would be.

Yes, it seems you're posting more now that you're not actually here :p I don't mind it though, I'll pretend I don't actually see it.
I've always said earlier that no matter what ea brought us, I would buy it, because I just must have it all, and though the quality went very high in some packs, it seems they're going back down again.
I think they've put all the good designers on the TS3 team and some interns on the new stuff packs and store stuff thingies.
Oh, and I absolutely hate the fact that they're imitating the cc creators! I've sworn off most creators because their stuff just didn't look 'right' ingame, and now even some maxis things don't look maxisy enough to me *rolls eyes*

I agree! This hiatus is not as half-bad as I thought it would be! A drabble and post relating to Mansions/Gardens. KEWL.

Yay for *invisible* posts. :P I didn't know there was a new SP coming out, so thanks for letting me know. :)
