There is a great frankenstein at the exchange that you can fiddle with to
make into Herman Munster. But thinking there is the whole family there too.

Indeed. Gomez, Morticia, Grandmama, Uncle Fester, Wednesday, Pugsley and
Lurch. I had them all in my Sims1 game, including Thing which lived in a
box. Can't remember where I got it, but it was neat.

There's a way to do it using SimPE. I saw a tutorial on it somewhere.
Probably wouldn't be hard to find it again.

Thanks, darlin'. I'll be looking for it.

Kris is my daughter, BTW. Good to see you posting!

Anything we add can slow down the game. Do you have problems running a house
with guests as well as the people in it? I find that it is usually the size
of the house that slows my game down and not necessarily the number of Sims
that are there.

A few years ago, my family visited Universal Studios Hollywood when we lived
in southern California. We took a tour of the area on a tram and went down
a couple of streets that had the actual houses used for the exterior shots
of many of these old shows. I was astounded at how close together they are,
like, right smack up against each other. There was the Cleaver house, right
next to the house from Murder, She Wrote, across from the Psycho house and
the Bates Motel. Amazing stuff. It's wonderful what trick photography can
do. None of the houses were full size, either, though they did have full
fronts and sides. Just shells, of course.

All of my house plan books are paperback. That doesn't mean they are pocket
paperbacks, though. But, if it does turn out to be one, I can always scan
each picture, enlarge it, and print it out.

Well, I got to looking at that book, I believe it's around 8 x 11 or
something similar so it should be good!!
I've never ordered from Amazon before but I'm getting a LOT more
interested the more I look! )

See what you've started Jeanie?? LOL

I've ordered from Amazon before -- I'm a big book buyer. So there's no
worries on that score. I say, go for it, Betty. LOL

Thank you.

I'm discovering that it isn't going to be easy to find the right clothing
and mair for these characters. I need tan sherrif's uniforms! I need hair
like Lucy's! I'm going to need short poofy on top hair for several of the
characters, too. I need full skirted shirtwaist dresses! LOL

Anybody know I might find some?

I'll have to check that out, but I'll tell you upfront that I've never done
anything like that before. I'm hoping to find something suitable already
done somewhere. I really need the police hat, too for Barney. I know
there's one in the game and it needs to be tan to match the uniform.

Thanks, I'll be checking those. Found some hair that might work for Lucy at
TSR, but it isn't really right. I did subscribe, though.
