First your going to need

\r\n

SimLLHP: a font which you can obtain here: http://www.fonts4free.net/sims-font.html
PlumBob: Provided by and thanks to:Lawertend =  http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh72/sims2king287/Sims%20Text%20Tutorial/plumbbob.png

\r\n


Then your going to want to make sure you have your paintshop opened and ready.
You will need to make a new image make it Transparent and 500 X 300.(However you may need more space
depending on what you want to have written.)

\r\n

It should look something like this.

\r\n

[IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q317/purpletou/webstuff/500x300.jpg[/IMG]

\r\n

Now go to your font button to your left: and write what you want I use font size 72 and feather 5 this will insure enough space for our next step.
The font color you choose is up to you,

\r\n

\r\n

Now turn font color to white both for foreground and background.
Leave your font at 72 size  and change feather to  0 it should look like this,Pick up your white text and place nicely over the blue text
leave space so you can see some of the blue around the white you will see in next step.

\r\n


Leave our selection alone, and go to effects/3D Effect and choose drop shadow, what your going to do is leave everything alone except for the
Offset vertical and Horizontal those need to be changed both to number 2.

\r\n


Once you click ok, go back to the effects and follow the process again only change the vertical and Horizontal to -2.

\r\n

You should now have something like this.

\r\n

\r\n

Ok next you will want to make your floaty selection a layer, so we need to go to the layer pallete to our right of screen and right click on Floating selection, scroll down till you see
Promote to layer, click it. Good.

\r\n


Now you should have two layers preasant. One is a raster layer yes? The other Promoted selection.This is good.

\r\n

Now I want you to click on the raster layer, once you have go to effects, and drop shadow, use the same process as you did above for the white letters. Exactly the same.

\r\n

It should look like this:

\r\n

[IMG]http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q317/purpletou/webstuff/final.jpg[/IMG]

\r\n

 

\r\n

Now you know your image is a little bigger then it should be for any forum or any other reason. Lets downsize a bit.
Lets go to image/Resize use 300X200 that should do it, now save, and use photobucket to upload it to, then grab the Img code and place it in your signiture and your done...
Good luck to you.

Bob And Betty Newbie How they became!(My view)

Ok here is my version on How Bob and Betty came across each others paths lol...

Carolyn (my sim) lived next door to Betty\'s Parents and herself, For several years, Carolyn and Betty were best of friends since first day of school. Carolyn was the heartbreaker of the two friends and was always dateing differant guys every night of the week and breaking up with them more quickly then Betty could count.
Betty is the more layed back kind of friend, though very loyal and very loving to her friend Carolyn, Betty found herself jealous in ways only true friends could know. Betty had never had any luck what so ever finding love,Until Carolyn ment Bob Newbie. Though Betty crushed on Bob she could never let him nor Carolyn know about it as friendship ment more then any guy..... so she thought.
Carolyn finaly decided to marry Bob, surpised that he even offered knowing her background and that her children were from differant fathers, minus the Twins as they have the same father of course. But Bob didn\'t care he fell in love with those kids from day one, could not get enough of them.The children loved Bob as well.
Carolyn invited Betty to the wedding amoung many other family and friends. Betty laid eyes on Bob and that is all that it took. I could say the same for Bob however he was alittle bit slower as he was all into Carolyn at the time though he noticed Betty but his heart belonged to Carolyn.


Here is a Lovly morning picture of the family minus the paper girl.... Its frustrateing trying to get them together for a picture as they all move so fast and all.. But I did as good as I could with what I had lol.




After the wedding some short time, everything was great however Bob wanted his own child with Carolyn. But Carolyn didn\'t want anymore children. She believed that three was enough and she just got her figure back. There was no way that it was going to happen. Needless to say the love life between Bob and Carolyn went down, though the love never stop for the children Bob through himself into work as a police officer and spending all his time with the children.
Carolyn being in the crimnal feild (which Bob did not know about). Was not home very often, when she was it was sleep and gardening and her children. That was all no time for Bob. As Bob felt more and more lonly and that their relationship just wasn\'t working he spent alot of time with Betty.
Betty knowing she was Carolyns friend,and so did Bob, was very careful about how they hung around each other. They would meet at the parks, or take long walks together. Bob\'s time with Carolyn\'s kids became a once a upon a story....
Bob invited Betty over one night while Carolyn was working late one night.
The kids were home with Bob, and Betty. Now though Bob still cared deeply for Carolyn he saw a chance to have a real family of his own, He loved his step children, but he needed his blood child to. He knew he could not and most likely would never get both.
So while the babysitter was taking care of the Children Bob snuck upstairs with Betty..... and low and behold Betty became preggers right away.The next day Betty came over to confess to Carolyn what she and Bob had done.



Of Course, Carolyn blew up, and Bob and her broke it off. Kicked Bob out of the house. But not before Bob got a chance to propose to Betty.



After proposeing they figure no used in waiting....So they had a private wedding. Then quickly moved in with Betty\'s mom and dad.



So there you have it, I even got her preggers with his kid before they moved out.... That is the real Story on how Bob and Betty Newbie came to be togther... hehehehe (my version any way. lol.)

well ?????? What do you think!

Yeah I should of know better, Played last night until real late, maybe 3 to 4 hours ..... longest I was or have been able to play, inbetween pauses and other small breaks I should known to save the game but wouldn\'t you know... I didn\'t.. I was so far along and actually happy with the family I was creating .. and how my family was coming along. When suddenly out of the blue for no reason that I can find my Game crashes... still do not know why it did. It kind of disappointed me, As I lost all the work I had done with my family from the time I started playing to the crash, 3 to 4 hours of game play is alot to lose.... GRRR my fault for not saving it. So yeah reminder save often... lol.
