Thanks for the helpful comment! Also there's a handy zip file here: https://donhopkins.com/home/TheSimsDesignDocuments/TheSimsDesignDocuments.zip https://donhopkins.com/home/TheSimsDesignDocuments/TheSimsDe... Additionally, here is a treasure trove of about half a gig compressed of unreleased custom Sims objects, including the Simprov Wedding Play Set stuff like Cupid (who makes you instantly fall in love with anyone you want, even cats and dogs) and Buddha (who makes everybody happy and not piss themselves and fall asleep in their own puddles of urine during parties) and the Crowd Sitter (to make your guests all sit down and shut up for the wedding ceremony, also useful for assembling and controlling cults) and lots of beautiful SimFreaks objects and skins. Please subscribe to Zombie Sims to thank and support Heather and Steve for all their great and generous work, which they've updated for the recent 25 year anniversary release of The Sims Legacy Collection. Then you can spice up your wedding by inviting zombies! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34485103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34485103 DonHopkins on Jan 23, 2023 | parent | context | favorite | on: A guide for playing The Sims 1 on Intel and ARM Ma... ZombieSims is a mind-blowing, brain-eating, tour de force Sims 1 fan expansion pack by two of the greatest Sims user created content artists and programmers: Heather "SimFreaks" (who created SimFreaks.com and much of the beautiful content for Sims 1 at http://www.simfreaks.com/index.php http://www.simfreaks.com/index.php including themed play sets like http://www.simfreaks.com/themes/storytime/pirate/index.shtml http://www.simfreaks.com/themes/storytime/pirate/index.shtml ) and Steve "SimSlice" (who created SliceCity: SimCity within The Sims at http://simslice.com/Slicecity.htm http://simslice.com/Slicecity.htm by programming many interlocking objects in SimAntics, and also many other amazing Sims 1 objects like the weather machine at other cool stuff at http://www.simslice.com/Objects-Electronic.html http://www.simslice.com/Objects-Electronic.html ). Heather and Steve were both early Sims 1 fans who each published their own popular web sites with downloadable objects, met through the Sims 1 modding community, then eventually moved in together and got married, and now they've combined their extreme art and programming talents to make an intricately intertwingled collection of Sims 1 Zombie objects, with a whole lot of original artwork and programming! https://zombiesims.com/ https://zombiesims.com/ Twitch streaming videos: https://www.twitch.tv/simfreaks_heather/videos https://www.twitch.tv/simfreaks_heather/videos Highlight: Zombie Sims - Beta - Everybody Dies https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1049524221 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1049524221 Check out some of the crazy menus that pop up -- this demo barely scratches the surface! DonHopkins on Jan 23, 2023 | parent | context | favorite | on: A guide for playing The Sims 1 on Intel and ARM Ma... (In Professor Farnsworth's voice:) Good news everyone! I asked Heather permission, and she says it's OK for me to give away the huge collection of custom Sims objects I have that includes an archive snapshot of many classic SimFreaks objects, as well as all the unreleased SimProv Wedding Playset objects that Heather and Donna and Steve and I created years ago but never finished and released, and a whole bunch of other stuff like the Transmogrifier object that randomly changes your body, the Dumbold voting machine that sometimes makes you accidentally vote for Pat Buchanan, Satan who shows up when you're depressed and offers to buy your soul, the Crowd Sitter that makes everyone gather together and sit down on chairs, and the Cupid that lets you instantly fall in love with anyone in the neighborhood, and the Buddha that makes everyone happy and not piss themselves and fall asleep in their own puddles of urine during parties. I don't have time to actually support and debug any of this stuff, but at least I recently updated the Cupid to be compatible with the Pets expansion pack, so it now lets you fall in love with any pet in the neighborhood. (You just can't actually marry them -- not that there's anything wrong with marrying cats and dogs, but we didn't have the animations for that!) If you want to express your appreciation, then please subscribe to Zombie Sims for a $9.99 lifetime membership, and then you can play around with inviting lots of Zombies to your weddings and see how that works! (Or don't invite them, and they will crash your wedding anyway!) But no guarantees or warranties that it doesn't devolve into a bloody mess! Here's my special collection of Sims 1 downloads, including the unreleased and not quite finished "SimProv" wedding Playset and handy "Cupid" that lets you instantly fall in love with anyone in the neighborhood (including pets)! https://donhopkins.com/home/DonsSims1Downloads.zip https://donhopkins.com/home/DonsSims1Downloads.zip cd ~/Downloads curl https://donhopkins.com/home/DonsSims1Downloads.zip > DonsSims1Downloads.zip cd ~/Applications/Wineskin/The\ Sims\ Complete\ Collection.app/Contents/SharedSupport/prefix/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Maxis/The\ Sims/ unzip ~/Downloads/DonsSims1Downloads.zip Simprov Wedding Play Set: Demo of the Simprov Wedding Play Set for The Sims 1.

Graphics by SimBabes, programming by SimSlice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsTbs7IL5EI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsTbs7IL5EI To find the Cupid and other Simprov items, go into buy mode, press the last icon of three dots for "Miscellaneous", then press the first icon with a pool table for "Recreation". The main item of the Simprov wedding playset is the "Hope Chest", which has a "Help" item that explains what to do next, and it summons a wedding consultant (who you can dismiss and call back if you don't like her hanging around in your bedroom forever). Then you can click on the hope chest to make other objects like the Cupid, and click on the wedding consultant to make catalogs of other items (most of them are just placeholder programmer art right now, but some of then configure things like what kind of wedding you will have and who will officiate it), but the idea was that you could order lots of items through the catalogs that you couldn't get through the normal shopping interface. But for now most of the wedding items are still in the build mode shopping catalog. The Simprov Wedding Playset video above walks through how to use most of the objects! Also be sure to check out Donna's beautiful wedding beds, the luxurious buffet with ice dolphin sculpture, gold inlaid glass dining table, fancy dollhouses, elegant dolls, and many other premium objects identified as Simprov, SimBabes, and SimFreaks in their catalog descriptions. The crowd sitter and the Dumbold voting machine are included in the collection. (Just kind of hard to find since there are so darn many objects!)
