This is so cool. Perfect for science fiction stories.

Update: July 2009-I am back now to make invisible and tranparent recolors again in sims 2. You can pm me if you want your objects to be invisible and transparent from now.

Now that's a blast from the past.

I keep seeing awesome, oddball things up for download here and then noticing that you made them. I look forward to whatever you might create next!

That's cool! I'm in troubleshooting mode right now so I'm going to have to download this later. For some reason (installing Seasons and OFB maybe?) my game is crashing whenever I try to go to university mode. Lord Woot's son just went and I don't want to lose him OR his girlfriend. Troubleshooting makes me tired. Anyway, this really is awesome and I look forward to having it in the game!

Nice, D&D stuff for the sims FTW. I must learn how to make accessories... I want to make my D&D character but she requires so much weird crap. XD Master of Chains lol

This is cool stuff. <3

A little confusion in me... you mention a pet bug that make this possible but your item is tagged base game compatible. Does non -pet owner could also enjoy this nice creation ?

Understand Material definition-TXMT and customize the look of your objects ! This way

I believe this accessory should work fine without Pets (if that is not the case, somebody please drop me a note).

The Pets issue is that if a particular variable is set to StandardMaterial, some accessories have a visual bleed through, which can be corrected by setting the variable to SimStandardMaterial. SimStandardMaterial objects don't seem compatable with animation though, so I had to use StandardMaterial for this object, which means Pets and beyond users may see the bleed through. So its actually very possible people without the newer expansions may get a better result...

Just when I think that everything possible has been made for TS2, somebody comes up with something new!

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

Just one question, where did you find the beard? I've been looking all over for one for my dwarf.
