Late to the Party: Mansion and Garden Stuff

[strangetomato]

One of the limited number things that my SO gave me for Christmas that wasn't a rectangle (aka a book) was my eagerly awaited copy of Mansion and Garden Stuff. He made me wait for Christmas to get it, and he was right - it did make it all the more exciting to finally play with it. After some struggling to install it and to get the no-cd crack to work for me, I'm finally checking it out. I really love a lot of the items in this SP. I'm going to have fun decorating some of the fancier lots I've been working on (like the Worthington place).

I also tested out a new hair on Ophelia, which looks great, but had a little issue in the mesh. I'd like to ask you about it, if you have M&G Stuff.








I'm planning to use this new braided hair for Ophelia in the near future. I like the more relaxed look on her, and it keeps with her trademark braids.




Has anyone else noticed this odd area near the ear on this mesh? It only happens with the S4 skintone and the blond hair for me. I'm wondering if I have some cc hair conflict (which happened to me before - also with Phi), or if this is something I should seek out a fix for.

Also, I never fail to melt into a puddle of goo whenever I see sims "kiss lightly" autonomously. They seem so happy. After Phi changed her hair, she noticed Ripp getting out of the shower (leaving behind plenty of puddles on the floor), and decided he deserved a kiss (for making a mess or despite it, we'll never know).

I know. So sweet. I like those little kisses that are "just because."

She is an adult here, but she's in her YA clothes because she's posing as one for some photos. They've been aged up, but I still need to finish off some pics for their final year of college. They'll be acting as both adults and YAs.

Is it only with the blond for you? Maybe that's just because it's natural on Phi, and the others work better. I don't know. It really bothers me. It could still be a cc conflict if you have it, because we have a lot of the same hair recolours.

The answer is simple: I am using Weather Reports as my default green. I'm using Invisible Gardener for the Smiths (I wanted it for Johnny, but it only makes sense to switch them all). I like the more olive green for the default. I'm just so used to it from Lyran, the other greens didn't feel right.

I cannot wait until they graduate. It'll be weird, but I just won't believe it until it's 'official.'

You can see The Sims 2 Store hair edited by me on Dorothy here- no issues. And

Ah, ok. I'm using A New Arrangement. (Which is eerily similar to Classic Cars.)

Hmmm. That's the same issue, for sure. I wonder why it's happening. Does it happen with other skintones and hair colours for you?
