Thank you guys! I just had to make a simple, elegant dress, and this popped up in my mind :D

These look great! I desperately need more clothes for my male sims ��

Thank you, we all do!!! :D

I think I named them Chinco by accident. They are supposed to be Chino and then there is a pair of male capris that are Chinco. It is very confusing. EAxis recycles names of meshes throughout almost every pack. Especially tops just called EP/GP/SP Vest. XD

True XD And a lot of them doesn’t even look like vests! Just be a bit more creative Eaxis people XD

Please do! (also the boat shoes, I love the boat shoes)

Mind reading mode activated once again! I’m glad you like it! :D

Eeeeep, how awesome are these? :D I didn’t even realize how badly I needed the ShirtButtonOpen top for the ladies until I saw this conversion.

Yay! Actually your recolors made me realize it, hehe :D

Thank you! I love these tops ♥

Eeek, can I live in their garden?! It looks great.

Thanks! I’m a big fan too. Although it’s super big and takes hours each day to maintain... Thank goodness for Plantsims! :D

I *LOVE* the voices they put on! It's so cute <3

Adorable! I can’t believe it took me this long to notice either. No more speed 3-ing through stories for me!

OMG, she's one of those awful morning people, isn't she? :)

All my Sims are morning people. It’s disgusting!

Unfortunately "influence to garden" only gets them to do non-garden yardwork. It sucks.

It’s silly. Fortunately I’m not above cheating. ;) I made Leif temporarily selectable to work on all the garden. It’s not something I want to do a lot though (don’t want to take advantage of the poor boy), so the garden is probably going to downsize for a while.

I HAVE THOSE SAME DINNER PLATES AT HOME

What?? Crazy! And now I’m jealous. I love those plates.

Bonus points for the Emperor’s New Groove gif! :D

Awwh :3 Fanks! ×××

I'll make this public since others might use this advice too!

How to avoid getting pre-made townies, NPCs, dormies, etc in your custom neighbourhoods without using empty templates from MATY.

First check out my tutorial for disabling the steath 'hoods on my LiveJournal if you haven't. :) That will take care of a lot of it.

For creating a new neighbourhood (not subhood), the only thing that needs to be disabled (in addition to the stealth 'hoods) is the Pleasantview template (N001) in the base game folder. Instead of replacing it with an empty template, simply TAKE OUT the whole original template and put it in a new folder alongside the original one, the same way as described for the Bon Voyage stealth 'hood. Voila! No more Goopy.

To avoid pre-made dormies for University, the template you want to move away is U001 (Sim State University). Just do it the same way as with Pleasantview and V001/BV stealth 'hood. (You could also use my clean template, which only has playables and no dormies, and therefore won't spawn dormies in your custom universities.)

And with Downtown and downtownies... You get the picture. Find D001 in the Nightlife folders, move it the same way as described above. Or use my clean downtown template. (The one without downtownies... obviously.)

Of course, if you want Sim State or Downtown back in your game for any reason you have to move the templates back to their original location first! But that's still easier than having to keep taking in and out empty templates.

I don't believe Bluewater Village spawns additional townies, but it's been a long time since I made a custom shopping district. The same method would apply for it, anyway.

I'm not sure about custom vacation destinations either (I have never made one), but I've uploaded the empty vacation templates from MATY (which I use myself) here.
