  1. That hair looks really nice

  2. Can't wait for these to show up on the booty.

    The price of things on the store makes it a hellhole, but the sheer fact that we regularly get hordes of new objects and clothing and hair without needing to buy an EP or stuff pack makes it fantastic.

    Annoying that the girl sims get so much more hair and clothes, though. (The site actually defaults to showing the female pages for things, too. :|)

  3. I JUST LOVE THIS..........ALL OF IT!!!!!

  4. I like the furniture, but the clothes seems like more of the same.

    The hairstyles look lovely in pictures, but when you look at them in the game, just don't look the same.

    Think I will pass.

  5. I bought the male hair, how can i get the sims3pack?!

  6. If it makes you feel any better, Claeric, I find most of the female clothing in the runway set to be horrible x) There's only the one short dress that's actually cute and... well... not looking like a run-way dress (seriously, what are many fashion designers really thinking?) But you're right about hair styles. Females get a lot more choices. My male sims feel neglected. The one hair style that came in the runway pack is... errr... well maybe it looks good in game. I didn't bother grabbing it just in case it's as bad as it looked in the preview. The female hairs are cute, though. Especially the one with the headband. That looks really good in-game.

  7. I actually want the Peggy Bundy hair from the set, just to convert it for males. There's some anime where a guy has an anime-style of that hair, and it looks really cute on him, I think it'd make a fun hair for some guys.

    Though I have no idea how to edit sims3packs or store files like that, anyway. ;-;

  9. @Claeric: I get that problem 2.

  10. At first I was - Yay! but, after taking a closer look it more of a bleh meh. I think I was reacting more to the texture combo of the med wood with dark grey, than I was to the actual shape of the objects in the first set.
    I'm not crazy about the "metal" overlaying everything in the kitchen and bath set and several items in the hacienda set look a lot like things in the medieval set.

    ReplyDelete
  11. You can CAST store items, the metal overlay is totally optional/editable.

    That dress is free for everyone.

  13. Free @ http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16949.625.html

  14. ^If you give it a couple days, someone usually uploads them as a single package file in the other store thread, so you dont have to use the sims3packs.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I know you can cast store items, hence the quotation marks around the word metal. Changing the texture wouldn't help, imho. I'll rephrase, I don't like the hardware on the counters, dishwasher and the refrigerator. It looks cartoonish. So, does the see-through bathtub, and the wavy bathroom sink.

  16. Oh my god. I just went to look at the sets, has anyone noticed the really really terrible looking towels with the bathroom set?
    Have a look, wtf is wrong with these store creators!!!

  19. "has anyone noticed the really really terrible looking towels"

    You can always change that you know ... you know that right?

  20. Kittehbomb has a new sim.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Where can i find Store Objects as .Package file? I'm a little bit desperated.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the furniture, but the clothing is just more of the same thing. There's really nothing new to it. I don't get it, why don't they get more creative, or realistic with their designs? The Sims 3 community has so many creative designers that many times we are blown away by their creations, I find it hard to believe that the Sims 3 designers can't create clothing of the same or better quality. It's quite disapointing actually.

    S~

  23. omg that runway riot set has so much win for male clothing!!

  24. "Yay new overpriced stuff where EA can milk money from dumb sheeps"

    Someone has to buy it before you can pirate it. Besides, I like supporting EA. And they're the ONLY PEOPLE I will buy Sims stuff from. If it keeps them running and making more stuff so that EA doesn't give them the boot (for lame car racing and sports games), I'm all for supporting them :)

  25. I am fashion designer as a living (working from home) and I can tell you I would never ever design something like those clothes for my customers let alone a runway!! Runway is fashion forward not fashion backwards!! EA has always and will always produce terrible outfits thank god for the amazing creators out there who convert and create amazing clothes!

    ReplyDelete
  26. haha the hair with the headband reminds me of Flo from Progessive xD

    ReplyDelete
  27. "Store stuff as a package file" someone asked?
    Isn't there an extractor for download at or via ModTheSims where you can have package files instead of sims3packs? I always do...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Had anyone thought that EA don't use patented styles for a reason? If they're sued for outright copying an actual designer label then there'd be hell to pay. And us mere fan-creators don't have that problem...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Holy crap. That male hair might actually work for Sam Winchester. O_o

    Finally.

    Clothing designs can not be patented. Sometimes the way it is made is patented but not the clothing itself. The drawings and sketches a designer creates are covered by copyright laws, and in some cases fabric designs are covered, but the finished articles of clothing aren't. For example, I recent court case ruled against a group of designers who attempted to control the access to the photographs taken by fashion journalists of their runway shows. The designers tried to claim that theirs was only originality and creativity displayed in the photos. The court disagreed and that the photos showed the originality and creativity of the photographer's who took them and that they were a separate works from the clothing.

    There is nothing stopping EA from making decent clothing other than EA's limited taste level.

    After taking a look at the clothing, I would say that a couple of the men's tops look usable, but that is it.

  31. My 2 cents (not that anyone cares)

    Runway Set? Most of the hair looks nice for once. The clothing is horrid as usual. Looks like the rejects from the HELS stuff pack. The FREE dress looks nicer than the pay stuff! (I'm not complaining :) )

    The other two sets looks nice but that kitchen and bath looks like an extention of HELS too.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yeah... more crap to make you download the patch.

    ReplyDelete
  33. i actually like these hairs and i just tried to install a bunch of these things from MATY but it my game doesnt start...so i took it out. Really sucks, ive only 'missed' one patch the 1.5 one cause everytime i am prompted to update it would go to the latest version (1.6) GRRRRR damn damn patches seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  34. That bob hairstyle looks like Rose's.

    ReplyDelete
  35. ^^Just update to the current one. Gah.

    ReplyDelete
  36. cute! can someone please tell me how to download the sims from ms3b? for instance the file says "sienna._sim" or something. what do i do w/ it. do i just drop it into packages folder like the other cc or what?

    ReplyDelete
  37. just look up HOW TO INSTALL PACKAGE FILES IN SIMS 3 and you will find a tutorial on modthesims. No one on here is going to take the time to hold your hand when all this stuff is already written out (mainly on modthesims). And ms3b the blog (cause its also his screen name)
    is the middleman informing us WHERE TO GO ,so for most custom content you have to go to some one else's site or blog to actually DOWNLOAD the custom content

    ReplyDelete
  38. Stupid patch of hell ruins my computer and can't play Riverview anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. ^^^A file named "sienna._sim" would go in the saved sim folder in your sims3 folder in your documents folder.

    ^ Have you tried redownloading riverview and re-installing it? EA may (or may not - depending on the commentator) have changed something in the riverview file requiring a re-installation.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I will redownload it!!! I hope it works!!! Thanks anyway!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Serisouly EA, this first set fits the exact theme the stuff pack is about. I am tired of this, they just want to win money with us, that's why I download the stuff elsewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The first pack does not match the HELS stuff at all. Please actually look at it for at least a second before commenting on it. ;)

    Plus I highly doubt they did the ENTIRE jet set set a year before HELS even showed signs of existing only to release part of it as a stuff pcak. They're two distinct and very different sets, they're completely unrelated.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Lady Frontbum! Yes that's exactly what I said - I'm making the Winchester bros. myself and I've already checked it and it's awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  44. You put the sims you download in docs>electronic arts>the sims 3>savedsims

    ReplyDelete
