EP004 - Empty and Clean Templates - The Sims ModCast

Does Goopy Gilscarbo make you vomit? Does Kennedy Cox make you want to remove the pool ladder? Have you often wondered why Komei Tellerman looks like a neandrathal and how Sandy Bruty can have such big lips? Do you try to avoid letting them breed in your neighborhood? If you answered yes to any of these questions or just want to make a neighborhood fully from scratch, then listen in on this episode where we go over installing and using empty and clean templates, as well as direct you to a link to create your own. We also cover creating townies to populate your newly empty 'hood.

If you would like to tell us about your favorite mods or mods you've made, please send us an e-mail at thesimsmodcast[at]gmail.com or call the listener line at 206-426-2805. We'd love to hear from you!
