It's on YouTube, and your Sims could probably enjoy having this on their TV sets to watch: 14KyyGl00hY ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Monopoly Game Town Contest Over/Done : 14th Apr 2016 at 3:09 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7395 ================================================================================ See the closing remarks here for details. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - ''The Monopoly Game Town'' Building Contest of 2016 : 1st Jan 2016 at 7:52 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7362 ================================================================================ I have a contest that may be interesting to folks who play The Sims 2. Click the image, or the LINK HERE: http://az261.x10.mx/2016monopolytowncontest/TMTC2016AD011280.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Future ''The Sims 2'' Contest Brewing : 22nd Dec 2015 at 6:51 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7359 ================================================================================ I'm looking for 5 judges & 2 emergency judges for an upcoming contest I'll be proposing for "The Sims 2" contests forum. It's a contest that will be ongoing for 2 to 3 months. It's for lot builders/decorators. It'll have an interesting element to the competition that hasn't been done before...as far as I'm aware. I'm still drafting a couple of things, but the contest will be pitched in January 2016. Anybody interested in joining up as judge can let me know in the comments thread. If you participate as a judge, you will receive a "judging score guide package" through a link in your PM. You get to read it, but must promise to keep the information contained in it secret until the competition is over, or until the host disseminates the information. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Updated My Avatar, New Superman Uniform : 11th Oct 2015 at 7:03 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7324 ================================================================================ So it's been a few years that I've used the previous avatar of Superman doing the "Call Me" interaction. I recently re-did his super-suit and hair-do with something more update. Here's a more detailed look. http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/71805_160528030503NCI_Journal_UpdatedMyAvatarNewSupermanUniform_04.png Along with a few of the contenders. Similar but not used. http://modyourpanties.com/hosting/70856_160323052943-NCI_Journal_UpdatedMyAvatarNewSupermanUniform_01.png http://modyourpanties.com/hosting/70857_160323052943-NCI_Journal_UpdatedMyAvatarNewSupermanUniform_02.png http://modyourpanties.com/hosting/70858_160323052944-NCI_Journal_UpdatedMyAvatarNewSupermanUniform_03.png Do you think any of the other contenders would have been a better choice? Yes...it seems like a rhetorical question, but if anything, I'm open to comments about other choices for Superman poses. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Coming Soon (for your Sims 2 PC game) : 21st Aug 2015 at 6:06 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7293 ================================================================================ http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/4/3/1/2/8/9/5/MTS_d_dgjdhh-1562629-set10.jpg And here it is, RISKY QUIZ! Read on about this project from the two links below: http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=6066 http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5605 ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Wheel Of Fortune 1981 Puzzleboard : 19th Jul 2015 at 10:28 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7259 ================================================================================ Yes...another game show project. But this time something more functional. It's still in the works, and may even be the first one uploaded to the website. Quite ironic, since the very first one I was working on was Jeopardy. That's still on the list of things to make. It'll be done...one day, hopefully. In the mean time, here's a YouTube video of the puzzle board. See if you can solve the puzzle before reaching the end of the video. 2InmgQdXWhw The upload will feature the board, lights, and over 30 trilons for each of the alphabet and some symbols. I do not plan on making a rotating wheel, as I have no idea how to create a random rotation in the game. EDIT: And here it is, in case anyone is interested in seeing and downloading. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - NEW UPDATE for The Golden Wall of Animation : 27th May 2015 at 8:44 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=7242 ================================================================================ :D Hi folks, I had some free time on my hands, and succeeded in reworking my Golden Wall of Animation. It can now act as slots for the pose box cartridges! No more moving 19 pieces of objects at a time, now move only the wall! http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/4/3/1/2/8/9/5/MTS_d_dgjdhh-1534621-gwoa12.jpg :new: Please re-download for your convenience. The new files use the same GUID numbers as the previous versions. :new: Also, if you're a pose box creator, and would like to have your pose box compatible with the wall, I provided a template file called "NCI-BoxTemplate.rar" in the same downloads thread. Use that to redistribute wherever you are on the Internet. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Added new banner to my uploads : 24th Jul 2014 at 5:35 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6996 ================================================================================ Since Imageshack stopped becoming free indefinitely, I thought I'd use my website's disk space to upload my newest banner for July 2014 onwards. This is it, the acronym for NCI from all my uploaded threads. Much nicer and colourful, I'd say, compared to the light blue/grey scheme. Wished I'd be able to have a banner that can automatically be added to my downloads. But it seems only Featured Creators with trophies get that: http://az261.x10.mx/TESTING/nci-logo-july2014.png ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI's First Sim Character Upload!!! (Mr. Monopoly) : 28th Jun 2014 at 4:30 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6977 ================================================================================ :up: Yes, it's a first, finally, after years, my first Sim upload. When I created my first iteration of Milburn Pennybags, it was interesting, but lack some important custom content, namely the short top hat and a walking cane. Now that I'm more knowledgeable about meshing and modding objects, I was able to create an even better very of the Rich Uncle. :new: If you liked my Monopoly Game Town you'll certainly like the Big Cheese of the board to be part of your neighborhood. Click the picture below to visit the link to him: http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/4/3/1/2/8/9/5/MTS_d_dgjdhh-1440644-upload01.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Another Video Of Jeopardy 1984 2nd Pilot Set : 30th Apr 2014 at 3:21 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6936 ================================================================================ Looking good, just need to make the microphones...and still have to work a fix for those Monitors. tQ7z978IYMM ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Upcoming upload to MTS in the future (''Jeopardy!'') : 20th Apr 2014 at 6:32 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6915 ================================================================================ Huh? What's Jeopardy? Well, it's a game show from the old-old days, with this one being based on the pilot episode from 1984-ish. Here's a preview of what to expect...BUT not any time soon. JnIJ4zPWuCw I still have to make the lecterns, and find out if I can recolor the screen files or not. Still unclear on how to make a recolor for the screen, unless it's not possible. If anybody knows how to recolor the TV screens from the Answer Board on the left, PM me and we can discuss how to proceed. Thanks. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - A Sims 2 Game Show - Quick As A Flash 1952 (Finally...DONE!) : 20th Feb 2014 at 2:42 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6872 ================================================================================ I've finally finished my one & only game show for The Sims 2. It's an "archival recording" of a 1952 programme called Quick As A Flash. Read more about it below & view it by clicking the picture too. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/849/otp7.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI - Revamped Superman comic archive website : 7th Nov 2013 at 3:26 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6793 ================================================================================ So, for those who've visited the webpage before (or who're new to it and are hearing about it for the first time), I've changed the layout and added more pictures & links to places. Take a look for yourself. http://az261.x10.mx/index2_files/image002.jpg It also contains a small collection of Sims-related Superman material from other fans. Leave a comment if you like the website and have recommendations on other stuff to add. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : In Search of Sims 1 Music Information : 6th May 2013 at 5:31 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6623 ================================================================================ I run this webpage with Sims 1 music information regarding the title names of game files. I've filled out many of the titles, but I'm missing some. Plus, I'd like to know, if you have either Sims Online, or Sims Living Large, whether there's music that should be listed on the webpage. If you have information about the missing files and their names, or you have either of those expansion packs and would like to contribute information about those musical pieces, please e-mail me or send a PM to discuss the matter. Or likewise, leave a comment, whichever suits your fancy, lol. I also have a thread opened here in this Classical music forum, in case you'd like to listen to some orchestral music from expensive restaurant setting in the Hot Date expansion pack. Thank you. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI Superman Comic releases final issue. : 20th Apr 2013 at 3:28 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6600 ================================================================================ Hi everyone. For those of you who've been following the comic strip closely, I'm almost done writing up the panels and editing them for release. It may be delayed a day, but so far everything is on schedule. I'm just tired from a long week's worth of work. Also, just wanted to make sure all the text and pictures are released correctly. After all, this is the FINAL issue of the strip. I'd like everything to be perfect for its final release. I'm very pleased with the final result of the story. I'm hoping you'll all be pleased with it too. So stay tuned, everything is still in motion...up until the end of tomorrow April 20/early April 21. EDIT: Never mind, the issue has been published. Thank you for all who've visited and followed the comic since its beginning: http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/9830/cover25.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : NCI's Superman Comic reaches 10,000 views!!! : 20th Feb 2013 at 6:06 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6536 ================================================================================ This not-so-historical-to-everyone event occurred tonight on February 20, 2013, just before 1:00am EST. Below are a few words from the one and only Superman! http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/70859_160323053208NCI_Journal_NCIsSupermanComicReaches10000Views_01.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Creating a Sims 2 TV panel quiz show/game show : 1st Feb 2013 at 4:24 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6517 ================================================================================ This promotional ad describes exactly what is being made by NCI this time, for the Sims Broadcasting Network: http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/4605/sims2tvquiz1952.jpg This will be placed in the Sims Creativity section once done. Of course, the comic short takes precedence over this show for the moment. The target is for a 24-minute pilot episode. Probably gonna end up as one sole episode, but hopefully it'll be interesting enough for folks to watch, as SimNation's 'oldest existing' televised quiz show/game show. Pretty much inspired off the real 1953 TV quiz programmed of the same name. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Superman comic series reaches 5,000+ views! : 16th Oct 2012 at 12:30 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6391 ================================================================================ Yay! More than 5,000 views for the comic series! Thank you everyone for viewing the comic, for those of you here on ModTheSims and abroad. http://imageshack.us/a/img109/4462/stuff1f.jpg The next issue will be a challenge that I'm hoping gets done by the 20th of October. :turtle: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Superman Comic Series Continued... : 20th Aug 2012 at 2:42 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6299 ================================================================================ Just a reminder to some folks who follow the comic shorts on here, the comic book is back in session, and planning to take another hiatus...after Issue 20 is released, lol. That'll be in over two months from now, so no rush for that. Anyway, enjoy Issue 11. The next issue is being written as we speak...yes the screenshots are already done, and then Issue 13 would continue the story. Enjoy, and if you like the series, please show your thanks via the Thanks button if the story thread. :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : New ANIMATED Avatar : 29th Jul 2012 at 4:11 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6260 ================================================================================ Yep, updated my avatar to sport out a small moving scene of Superman. Was tough to get it under 64kb, but I made it. Yay! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Slight Update on Monopoly Game Town : 15th Jun 2012 at 2:35 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6155 ================================================================================ So I was surprised to find out that there was some leftover user files from the N046 neighborhood files. It's been updated today to eliminate that user file. For those who already have the neighborhood, no panic necessary, just scan the neighborhood with HoodChecker, and the data file should be gone. Must have been ol' Pennybags lurking around before leaving the 'hood, lol. Erm...yeah I'll probably get stoned from some of you folks, lol. EDIT: Okay, so it stays there forever...luckily, there's no one with relations to the sim user file. So...for you new folks out there, enjoy this yet-to-be loaded neighborhood. That's right, not even the Grim Reaper, Pollination Technician, or the other NPCs have been made yet. If anyone has issues with the upload, please post under this journal entry. And thanks Mootilda for catching that data leftover. All hail ;) ! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Big residential lot...prepare for your computers to explode, LOL!!! : 13th May 2012 at 6:38 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=6114 ================================================================================ Okay, that hotel tower was a flop...or just a record for a great lot that everyone was speechless, lol. So anyway, here's an update to something that hasn't be attempted in years on this website. Introducing a work-in-progress. An American National Landmark, recognizable by many folks...too bad the lot's size can't get bigger (for the landscaping). Introducing and update to...The (Off-)White House! Pictures are at the end of this entry. The furnishing...oy, that's a pain in the head. So much to decorate. Well, hopefully I'll get this done by the end of June 2012, or earlier. Anyway, enjoy the exterior look. I love the balustrades on the roof, a discovery that changed the way I built previous White Houses for my game. ^_^ P.S. I'm not much of a landscaper, so don't expect to see this look any better. Maybe even expect less trees. I hate tress and gardens, namely because of all the computer resources this will consume, lol. AKA, prepare for your computer to explode! http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2641/wip1w.jpg http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1774/wip2u.jpg http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9730/wip3g.jpg http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1641/wip4u.jpg ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : 3rd Sim City 3k home, Onderdonk House...based on an actual house, apparently! : 8th Oct 2011 at 4:57 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5730 ================================================================================ So, third house being made, the Onderdonk House: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5208/imageshack1w.jpg First time doing different levellings to the floors. As you may notice eventually, the first floor is made of walls, shortened with the CFE cheat. Same with the "3rd floor" (actually the floor located between the 1st and 2nd floor). Plans to upload this home is in the works as usual, so stay tuned for it. Oh and incidentally, after checking out the name "Onderdonk House", two results come up. One looks like a barn. And the other? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Judge_Horatio_Gates_Onderdonk_House,_Strathmore_Road_%26_Rolling_Hill_Road,_Manhasset_(Nassau_County,_New_York).jpg Amazing. Looks shorter in height though, but probably the building that inspired those folks from Maxis. :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : 2nd Sim City 3000 home - Bayberry Manor : 3rd Oct 2011 at 3:50 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5725 ================================================================================ So, with the successful completion of Stratton Hall, comes another home. Bayberry Manor: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6317/sc3kbayberrymanor.jpg Still needs to be furnished, but progress is going well. First time creating a rooftop like that, thank you very much CFE cheat, lol. The main building is not quite square and the roof seems long. Just some examples of replica flaws. But anyway, expect this in the uploads too. ;) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : My first entry. AND first try at replicating a Sim City 3K house : 1st Oct 2011 at 6:28 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=5722 ================================================================================ So, first journal entry, yay! Thought I'd share something about what I'm working at during my free time. I was thinking about how I used to be a Sim City nut; builing cities, running it as mayor, charge exuberant taxes, etc., lol. Then I thought, hey, why not try to replicate a house from the Sim City game! I could accomplish that and earn a residental lot badge. So, here's my first attempt at a replica Sim City home. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8067/simcityhome1.jpg It's still a work-in-progress, but so far it's pretty good. Obviously not a direct copy, made subtle differences (especially since Maxis didn't provide diagonal two-story windows), but the overall shape is still pretty good. So, expect this to be in the downloads some time in October 2011. ;) ================================================================================ : ---End File---
