Creators Tutorials

Need a tutorial on creating, be it Sims 2 clothing or objects, signatures or avatars, blends or wallpapers etc? That's what this thread is for.

Feel free to add anything creative wise (since I can't remember everything that been posted already) , including Signatures, Avatars, Movies, Sims, Lot Building, Body Shop, Homecrafter (Walls & Floors), Objects, Hair and any other category I've not mentioned.

I think Maus's, Flaaafy's, Bunnii's and Ayucakes's should be listed.




edit: yes I am aware I spoke of my tutorial in the third person.

[Beffi]

This without a doubt.

You've posted the old links to the old forums, they don't work anymore; you'll need to find the threads in the archives and give me those links.

If you can't find those ones specifically, I'll have a look later on myself.

[Beffi]

I found a few.
Ayucakes'
And another one here
Kabuki's
Maus'
Ermietrude's
Flaaafy92's
Mizzystace's

I'll edit it if I find any more for you.

[Maus652]

0.o I thought I had looked in the archive.

Bleh~ I didn't want to move anyway.

[bladegrl94]

Find Mine! :P

[The Star Hermit]

Cheers folks, I've found a few others too in the archives which are worthwhile moving over, there's plenty in the list for now, to cover most requests.

[FluffySim92]

I demand you add this now!

[/diva]

Assuming you're still adding tutorials to the list, that is XD

[The Star Hermit]

It's done fluffy.

On a side note I wondered why I wasn't logged in when viewing that thread, I noticed it was because you are using the old url to the forums. The proper url is now:

http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/

for the main forum and:

http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/f...splay.php?f=25

for the Sims Series index.

[Aaron]

What? We can't take our pick?

[Lauren]

Is this worthy of Stickyness Hermie?

Creating Banner's On GIMP

I couldn't find any on here and the one's on the website are not helpful on banners.

[Mr A]

I just updated the list with the latest tutorials as The Star Hermit hasn't been online for a while. I've included Nutter's "How to animate your signatures" tutorial and Jake's Smudging Tutorial.

[LimeBowler]

Mr A, you weren't a moderator yesterday. I could've sworn.

[The Jake]

Thanks Adam.
And congrats on the Moderatorness. ^.^

[LimeBowler]

As i have just seen in the off topic.
Congratulations

[Lauren]

Go Adam!

[Jessie]

Stupid question but when did you change your name to Mr A?

[LimeBowler]

It was about a week ago i think.

You've changed yours too. Just noticed.
