where can i get the sims game?

i purchased mine at [ staples ], but the game is available in many places, including online at [ amazon ] you need to purchase and install the original sims game before adding any of the expansion packs.





where did you get your heero and duo sim skins?

[ anime skins central ] is the only site i know of that has gundam wing skins for the sims. please read the instructions on the download page thoroughly or you will not be able to download them.





okay. i have them. what do i do with them!!?!?

if you installed your sim game to its default directory, meaning you did not manually change the location where it wanted to install itself, then you need to unzip the files and put them in C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Skins. this is also assuming that the hard drive where you installed the game is indeed called 'C'

whats up with the pixels when they get naked?

ahhh.. censorship!!     there is a patch available for this, but do not expect it to render your sims anything more than barbie dolls. still, the pixels are annoying. you can get the 'nude patch' [ here ]. i do not believe that this works with the original sims game and that you need to have either 'hot date' or 'vacation' installed. it is an executable file, so if you installed the sim game in its default directory, you only need to double click on it and extract the files.





what if i want my sims to be anatomically correct?

the site that used to have the male patches for download is no longer active. there are a few sites that still offer female nude patches. you can find them by doing a search on google. i would put a direct link here, but the page that listed the links had some rather graphic images on it...

how do i get my sims to 'play in bed'?

you need to purchase the 'livin' large' expansion pack in order for that option to become available and even then, it only works in the tacky red bed. worth it though ^_~

where can i go to download other items and skins?

i would most definitely recommend registering at [ the official electronic arts sims site ]. they have quite a collection of downloads available, as well as game patches, links, a message board and programs that allow you to create your own sim objects. be prepared to spend a few hours here.

i have also been known to frequent the following sites. please note that clicking on any of the links below will open a new browser window.

[ 7 deadly sims ]                [ the well dressed sim ]               [ nighttime sims ]                [ cheap frills ]

[ simfreaks ]                [ bnj x lvr ]                [ sim-o-rama ]                [ ikbod's ]
