Happy Valentine's Day! If, like all of us here, you're a miserly ol' git spending the day working or sitting around in your underwear watching TV alone (or maybe doing both at once!), why not use these lovely new creators as targets for all that pent-up affection?

Creator News - Makeover Your Sim's Wardrobe
Posted by leesester, 10th Feb 2012 at 07:25 PM (3 comments)

So, there you are, playing your game, and once again your sim is in that snappy little sweater and jeans combo.... What you really want is to use a smart new suit of clothes for your sim, but you can't find what you want in the downloads.

So why not make it yourself?

We realise that many MTS members would love to be able to make new clothes and accessories for their sims, but are just not sure where to start. Well, daluved1 has been working away creating - not clothes - but a comprehensive beginners guide to creating clothing using the CTU

CAS Creation with daluved1

This comprehensive guide covers all you need to know about Beginning with CAS creation - what tools you need, where to download them and lots of clear instructions on exactly what you need to do to get that new suit of clothes for your sim.

If you want to go a bit further with your new modding skills then there is also a CTU User Guide for if you want to explore the CTU a little further.

But there's more!

Maybe you have not had time to visit the wiki and explore all the tutorials we have to offer there - but why not take a look and see what else you can make for your game or even to share with other simmers

Site News - Mocca and Latte 2011
Posted by leesester, 4th Feb 2012 at 11:31 PM (30 comments)

Dear MTS Members and Creators,

Some of you might remember the MOCCA and LATTE awards to recognise outstanding achievements in the modding community. The last lot of MOCCAs and LATTEs were some time ago, and with all the development in TS3 modding we have selected a new crop of award winners for us all to recognise. Of course, TS2 is still a big part of the community, and so we will not be excluding creators/innovators who continue to support TS2 for us all to continue to enjoy.

What are MOCCA and LATTE?

The MTS (award for) Outstanding Continued Creative Achievement
aka MOCCA - This is to recognise creators who have consistently produced excellent work, as well as those who have broken the boundaries of creative content.

and

The Lifetime Achievement for Tools/Technical Excellence
aka LATTE - This is to recognise people who write tools for all to use, and those who generally help in various ways in the community. Without their tireless efforts, we wouldn't be here at all.




This time, we are honouring the following people:

The LATTE Awards:

cmomoney - Many contributions to modding tools for TS3 and pioneering work on new techniques in object modding.
granthes - Has contributed many modding tools to make it easier to mod and play our games (Pets rig fix tool, Custom launcher, CCmagic.....).
atavera - The wrappers man. If you use S3PE/S3OC to mod TS3 then you use his wrappers somewhere.
Echo - A long time site member with excellent modding skills. Made the Postal Package Editor for TS3 and has contributed to many TS2 object mods made by other creators.
TSRW Team - Love them or hate them as you will - but TSR Workshop has made object creation a possibility for many new creators.

The MOCCA Awards:

Buzzler - A constant supply of interesting and innovative mods. He is very good at keeping them up to date as well.
Phaenoh - She has uploads in nearly every area of TS2 creations and is generally known for her ingenious modded items.
oepu - She made the move from TS2 to TS3 and has made lots of pretty items; we hope to see some more from her.
Criquette -Airports and Railways and Buses and Trams and Cricket Fields - TS2 neighbourhoods are transformed by Criquettes work.
Psychosim - Looking to grungify your game? Look no further. One of the lords of TS2 grunge.
ATS Sandy -Lots of variety and high quality items too - add her site to your bookmarks.
lidiqnata - a creator with her own distinctive style, inventive and fun items for your simmies.


The award winners will get a custom trophy and a little cup o' caffeine icon by their names.


Time for a big cheer and thanks yous for these talented folks, some of the many people who make our games so much more fun to play. We look forward to handing out more MOCCAs and LATTEs in the future!

Hey simmers!

Thanks very much for your suggestions for the next round of site themes! We had a lot of great submissions, and have trimmed them down to these to choose from. Please vote on your favourite themes (you can vote for as many as you want, but obviously, voting for -all- of them is just silly), and the top six will be used for the next six months of site themes.
