Thanks folks, it seems both files work now.
Guess it was the usual gremlin who sometime jumps here and there thinking he's funny while he's only giving troubles.

The gremlin is back. I downloaded most of this wonderful project, but couldn't get the sci-fi & tiki walls or floors due to the same error mentioned before.

Will there be Roman and sci-fi themed casinos built and added to this project or are we on our own in building them?

...Maybe, depends on whether the lot builders still have interest in the lots that didn't quite make it.

Lomesul: I've just tried again and they work, if you can try later, this time it's not the damned gremlin, probably only the web traffic

The lots specifically built for this projects are in the moderator's hands, as soon as each builder will be able to follow their requests hopefully they will be released and added here

Hello Tinmartin, you can't have everything in just one shot, instead see page 1 of Comments, you can see there are several posts, each one with a title and description about what you can download: below the pictures you can see the relevant .zip or .rar files.
Their names let you know the content, click, save, then unzip and extract in your download folder, as usual. For example, looking at comment nr 12, you could fall in love for one of the the Extravant Walls by Pixelhate, choose the first .rar file named Drapery walls and go, they are yours.

Wow, this is just lovely! Along with the gorgeous design and the sheer amount of detail put in, I'm really REALLY psyched to (finally!) find a nice assortment of nightclub signage in SIMLISH!

Can't wait to play with this stuff. Thanks so much!

I built Poppaea's Baths, the Roman themed lot. I lost many nights on it (building and destroying and rebuilding, creating mountains of walls and floors, recolouring lots of objects.... ) so I hope it will be added soon

I create for my amusement. I share for -I hope!- yours :)
Enjoy and ... Happy simming!

Alisair: from the pics, your lot is beautiful and I can't wait to download it!

Lamammaforever: thanks for looking into it. I had no trouble downloading it today.

I want to thank everyone who worked on this project. I can tell that much blood, sweat, & tears went into this and the quality is readily apparent. It is truly a wonderful mini-ep that I will gleefully use for a long time in my game.

I downloaded all the items from this project and they are really great. But I can't install Tiffany and PoppaeaSabina. The program says I need an extra expansion pack. The only expansions I don't have are Apartments life and Mansion & Garden.
Is it normal that I can't install them or is there a problem with downloads on this site?

I think that is a 'normal' problem with the default game installer. But are you using cleanInstaller? I have never had a problem when installing Sims using Cleaninstaller.

I tested all the sims in basegame, both mine (Poppaea, Ariel, Pixie, the Chippendales) and Kopple's (Tiffany). I never had problems with them. Sometimes the sims2installer is not a good friend with sims -> you should use Clean Installer
pls try and let us know, thank you

Yes, porkypine, you got all the problems I've had so far. BTW, the meshes you made are beautiful...excellent job and the textures are supurb. Now if the animations and BHAV's were tweaked a bit...


Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. The gambling equipment was a team effort. Several people had a hand in their creation. meshers, texture artists, animators and BHAV specialists. The other team members who worked on these objects can chip in and discuss what they did if they feel like talking about it.

I am only so-so on textures but I am getting fairly good at meshes. I only understand a little of what is involved with BHAV's and animations but I will try to explain some of the processes involed in making stuff like this. (Any errors are mine)

I know very little about animations - but, I DO know that it is not as easy as people think to create smooth animations. Rebecah was trying to explain basic animations to me and why it is difficult to do them. The EA guys use very expensive software when they are working on the the game animations. The tools that modders have is 'Milkshape', which lacks the necessary functions for a lot of animations so the animations that are there are the best we can do with the available software. You'll have to live with that.

Craps Table - I used a standard dining table as the base cloned item for the 'sit down at' funtion all the rest of the animations were done by hand and are time consuming and difficult to do. The dealers croupier dice pass and swipe take a LOT of work. so does placing bets and calling in the YEA I won! and the Dang ! I lost! game animations. So, if you want more sims playing, you'll just have to send a group to play craps and make them place bets. It's fun to watch them win and lose. I don't think the animators will have time right now to 'improve' that functionality because they are all taking apart Sims3 and making new tools and trying to see how to mod Sims3.

Texas Holdem - The footprint error - where sims walk through it - is due to the fact that I used the game's Poker table as the clone items so we could use the shuffle and deal animations as a base, etc. However, merging 2 tables (for the 8 playing positions) just locked things up when just doing just the mesh testing - so I dropped back to one table as the base mesh so it only has the footprints for the original table. Trying to create extra footprints interferred with the BHAV's so that idea was dropped. The animators moved the seats out and changed some of the interactions but we could not set the footprint to cover the whole length of the table without BORKING it.

I did not mesh the one-armed bandit. I only made the coin and pile of coins that plop out.

Anyway. I hope you like the gambling paraphanelia It is not likely to have the things you mentioned 'fixed' the way you'd like any time soon because of the limitations I tried to explain above.


And I finally got my Sims3 copy and am learning how the game functions and am helping work on the wiki stuff for Sims3 until the modders come out with teh tools I need to make some HAIR meshes for SIms3. :P
