My The Sims 2 Experience
For Xmas 2005 my brother gave to me a game that passed my expectatives by faaaar too much! It said The Sims 2 and I thought "Holy shit! This must be what I was waiting for!", I opened that thing and in there I saw 4 fucking CDs! "Holy crap! This will take years to install" (It was the first time I saw 4 CDs for a game), but Maxis took care so much about it that created a minigame to have fun while you were installing the game, I finished installing it and the intro video said everything, it was looking far too great, then started loading and those scrolling text in the bottom of the screen inmediately reminded you of The Sims 1, after that, I did those tutorials, entered and stuff, created a family (to be more precise, I created myself (C'mon! Everybody creates him/herself at least once in that game!)) and I started playing, it was difficult in a beggining get used to that cool new 3D engine, but it was fun. My first work on The Sims 2 was making T-Shirts, but it was not like The Sims, where you could do something with Paint and it would look cool anyway, the detail was so high here that you needed something better, I picked up Photoshop.
After I got University and there was a guitar there, so bad there was just one model and it was too Jazz for me, but again, The Sims 2 is a relatively easy to mod game, so I found out about ModTheSims2, a great page where you can find lots of custom made stuff, high-quality great stuff, there I found many different guitars, and I did some recolors for them, the first one, was a greenish tone of one recolor for the ESP Explorer created by Atavera, be sure to check this stuff out, is looking cool!
Have fun!

About the Recolors: To make recolors work, you need a mesh first, meshes are like the 3D polygons that create a shape programmed to behave like certain object, these meshes can be found in ModTheSims2 (all the recolors use meshes I found there), just search for it and you will shortly find it.
I will be adding more stuff to the list after, and uploading them even after, maybe I will have to upload all the stuff to FileFront or MTS2 because I got no enough storage in this server.
