Sparky's Foster's Sims 2 Custom Content - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 03-24-2007, 10:40 PM

I am working on a line of Foster's-themed objects and clothing for the Sims 2. The first batch is up, and it's a collection of the t-shirts that can be found in the NF Cafepress shop.

Enjoy. (Enjoy the pictures even if you don't have Sims 2.) And use this thread for requests if you want. I can't do much but if I can do something I'll try it. No, I can't do meshes. One day, maybe.

Nice job there, chief. Those shirts look like the real deal.

My Mr. Herriman is getting the black No-No tee. Great job!

I've created eight new framed pictures/posters of Foster's Home images, but I want to submit them to modthesims2.com. I've never submitted anything to a Sims site before so I just submitted one poster pack, and I'm going to wait until it's accepted before I submit the rest. Once I know I'm doing it right I'll link to the items there.

You're way ahead of me; when I want to use a picture of something real as an in-game decoration, I turn it into wallpaper or paneling.

Frankie pics make very nice wallpaper, by the way.

Sparky · 03-26-2007, 09:25 PM

I may make some murals that way.

But I do feel that wall hanging objects are nicer than wallpapers; plus modthesims2 doesn't actually allow uploads of pictures on wallpaper any more according to their FAQ. Apparently that's the "lazy way" of getting pictures into the game and they frown upon it.

Their site is so big now that they have to be a bit picky about what they allow people to submit.

I'm still waiting on a response, but they say it can take a few days. Yes Frankie is in at least one of the ones I've made.

My thanks, of course. Care to reccommend a "how-to" manual on the subject?

You can find a bunch of tutorials here:

The one I used to get started was this one:

My first item, a poster pack, was accepted! Here it is. It's gotten lots of downloads already; I guess that means a lot of people like Fosters!

I went ahead and submitted the rest of the stuff I had ready, so I guess that will take another couple days for them to show up on the site.

I downloaded everything, which was an adventure in itself, considering how often the MTS2 server is down. Eh, whatever. I'll post a pic next time I update the Foster's Valley thread.

I guess you got them already Cass, but here are the other objects for everyone else:

Foster's Picture
Giclee Set
Print Set
Large Framed Picture
