About Simalala.com

About the Content

The content on the site is all 100% made by me, Lindsey L Lake. Please do not use my content UNLESS I SPECIFICALLY SAY YOU MAY via email, on the download page. All clothing textures, genetics, hair, etc has been made using The Sims 2 BodyShop officially created by Maxis for this purpose. The same goes for my walls and floors (and packaged houses and sims — except for homewares I would be using HomeCrafter).

All other content, ie objects and meshes (and anything in the future that is possible) has been created by me using applications created by people unrelated to The Sims 2 or EA Games or Maxis. Objects have been retextured using SimPE created by Quaxi. New meshes have been created by using SimPE and the Sims 2 Mesh Tool created by Miche and Delphy. Many props go out to those wonderful creators. Without them this site, these creations could not be possible.

All objects on this site require the Color Options Enabler Package (CEP) created by Numeror and RGiles to work correctly with your game. All objects and such are EP Ready for The Sims 2 University.

Special thanks goes to Brianna from Well Dressed Sim and her clothing mesh tutorial, and to pinhead from the Mod the Sims 2 forums for the orginal (now obselete) object recoloring tutorial.

About the Downloads — IMPORTANT

All items here are free to download. There is a small section that is for donater’s only (no minimum donation required).

Any Meshes that I create are free to download but are NOT guarenteed to be 100% safe for your game. They work in my game, on two different computers, and for my testers. If something should happen to your game/computer it is not my fault, or concern as you have been forwarned that there is a possbility since all the hacking/modding is still in alpha and beta testing that something may go wrong.

Meshes are free to be retextured. If you do use my meshes, please include my readme (available with download) and a link back to my site from where you have reposted my Mesh with your texture. I would like to see how people are using them!

About the Site

Simalala.info was born in mid-2003, before Sims 2 came out. Orginally located in a subdomain off my personal domain, it housed a few of my Sims 1 creations. Shortly after it opened, I returned to school, and work, so became unable to put much effort into the site. I did keep creating content, but a computer crash lost all work I created and did not upload. :(

Fortunately, BodyShop came out soon after the crash and I immediately set forth creating content! I even wrote several tutorials on the subject, with more to come soon!

About Me

I am Lindsey, known as LaLindsey all over the internet from IRC, to various forums, to livejournal, to many web design forums. I am 22, and a web and graphic designer and part time library clerk. I have a 3 year old son Mason, and a great boyfriend named David. I love to blog (when I’m motivated enough), create graphics, read and review books, and write code. I am also involved with a writing group within my community called Insights where we publish four annual small magazines containing our various writings. I do the graphical work, as well as publication layout. If you are interested in a copy please contact me through my email.
