Has anyone created Frankie and Sylvia Marie Mashuga for the Sims 2? I never played the Sims 1 (for PC at least) so I never got to play them, but seeing pictures of them and whatnot, makes me really want to. Thanks!

Dead thread and a void link. There was supposed to have been a "Challenge" thread for "Bring Back the Mashugas", but that's gone too.

There have been attempts to remake them for sims 2 (and 3, and 4), along with their crazy house. Interestingly, no two people remake them quite the same way.

Found a passable Frankie at Garden of Shadows (Conversion Immersion page 4): http://gardenofshadows.org.uk/garde...&topic=29400.45

Sylvia Marie, on the other hand, needs more work and a proper bouffant updo - bandana headwraps are too Hick.

I had a bunch of occupied houses from Sim1 (including this one), but no longer have - sorry. Although occupied houses are a bad idea (unless they are new, made by Creators that know what they are doing!)

All I got to say is this. http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=522506 or this http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=523417

Indeed, marka's versions of Old Town (in his post above, that's the main-hood version in the first link and the subhood version in the second link) are probably my favorite of any work he's ever done. I have never played Sims 1, so I don't know the original Mashugas, but I loved that marka remade not just them and their house but also the whole neighborhood around them. It's a really nice job (marka's got a knack for building TS2 versions of houses and lots from other game versions), and it was my side hood for a while (the one I played when taking a break from the complexity of my uberhood at the time). In fact, if he hadn't posted the links, I would have!

Totes agree. I love Old Town. The subhood version always finds it's way into my hoods. I think he's done a great job with all of them.

As I said, everybody re-creates them differently. (I didn't even leave the original Frankie un-modded - he got a thorough makeover that made him quite a hunk.) One thing I'd like to find for a Sims2 version is a removable kippeh - "my" Frankie is Reform Jewish so would only wear one on formal occasions, but he would wear it then. (There are removable kippehs for Sims3, why not for Sims2? Well, I may have to see how much I remember about using Milkshape....)

Thought I'd found a hairstyle close to Sylvia Marie's bouffant, but when I checked it out in BodyShop, the back was all shaved - what is it with all these skinheaded styles? Am going to hide the Maxis ones and delete the CC ones - feh!

Oh, and thanks for the lead on the site with all the Sims1 walls and stuff.
