I believe that I owe everyone an apology for having not posted for so long.
I'm back from France; I had a great time! Traveling took far longer than I had
expected with 20 hours of travel time. I was exhausted. Paris is a beautiful
place and I would recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to visit!
I am back at university now, and the work
load is immense as expected. I can only hope that I will get some free time on
the weekends to see to Sims stuff.
As for updates, I've recently bought Apartment Life and I'll soon be adding a
number of tutorials.
Today I have added a few new tutorials for Apartment Life:
Building an Apartment
Creating a Witch
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make any
more objects until SimPE (The tool I use for creating objects) is updated to be
compatible with AL; so please be patient.

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a few days; I've been busy preparing
for my visit to France - I leave tomorrow.
I'm expecting to have to get up at 3am and spend 8 hours of traveling so I'm
really wishing I had a 'maxmotives' cheat here to work in real life. lol
Until I return, take care everyone!

My second Sims 2 upload is released today!
If you have ever tried to sell photographs
taken with the Uni camera in OFB, you will have noticed that
they are defaulted to sell at only $2. That's really no good for running a photo
business.
Thanks to this mod, the average selling price of a photo will now be $50!
You can find the Photo Sale Mod in the Misc section of this website under
objects for the Sims 2.

My first Sims 2 object has finally been uploaded! fans of Futurama will love
this one:
It has been hacked/modified to act like the Slurm featured in the hit TV show.
You can find Slurm in the Misc section of this website under objects for the
Sims 2.

Sunday, a day of rest...not for me!
Today I am pleased to announce the addition of my Reviews section where I hope
to review each expansion pack and
stuff pack for the Sims 2 to help fans make informed buying decisions. I have
uploaded reviews for:
University EP
Nightlife EP
Open for Business EP
Bon Voyage EP
Family Fun STUFF
Glamour Life STUFF
Celebration STUFF
H&M Fashion STUFF
Festive Holiday STUFF
Teen Style STUFF
All of these can be found from the 'Reviews' tab.
I have yet to add reviews for the other expansions but will do so in due time.
Also, these reviews are subject to change and are
not final editions, so any feedback would be appreciated.
Later today I will be adding one or two Sims 2 objects, so be sure to keep an
eye out for them!

And so it begins!
I am gradually changing the
layout of my entire website to make it easier to browse and, hopefully, easier
on the eyes. ;)
I have also added a temporary link to my Houses page at TheSims2.com website;
enjoy.
I have temporarily removed the Sims 1 houses to do some work on the layouts.
Hopefully by tomorrow I will have some Sims 2 objects to upload! :-D

Wow...4 years later and this site hasn't changed a bit. I had expected this place to have vanished into the void of the internet, but I was astounded by the maintained popularity this place has had; even during my shameful neglect.
It seems like forever, yet it has only been 4 years since then. So much has changed in my life but you will all be happy to know that I am still a huge sims fanatic, and I still make items under the name 'HacksterManic'. In owe many of my friends and success to the sims, and it is about time that I started paying back to the sims community.
I would like to thank all the fans of this website for being so loyal, and also to apologize that I have neglected you as much as I have neglected my poor website.
I would like to change things around and turn over a new leaf. I am happy to announce that I intend to revamp this website and welcome the addition of a number of brand new Sims 2 items which I have, quite selfishly, been exclusively for my own use until now.
As you can see, I have added one or two google adsense ads to the website, but that is so that I can raise money for a paid domain meaning less ads, an easier web-address, and lots more downloads.
I am proud that the ceremonial lighting of the Olympic Torch today can also usher in a revival of this website.
Keep an eye out for big changes in the days and weeks to come! Until then, take care of yourself everyone.:)
