I know probably loads of people have asked you this, so I am sorry to be a bother, but what tutorial did you use to first learn how to create/edit meshes and create clothes? Also, do you always use a base game mesh and edit it?

For hair I used the Basic Hair Meshing tutorial by HystericalParoxysm on Mod The Sims, it's a good tutorial for beginners, but it won't teach you how to use 3D programs (this part should be learned from tutorials made for that program). I can't tell for sure about clothing, I kind of discovered things by myself over the time (clicking all buttons and observing what will happen), lol. For clothing I always use EA bodies for a reference because technically you need to create things as close to the EA as possible to work properly in game. For hair I usually start from scratch as EA hair meshes aren't very detailed to start with.

Whitch Skintones are you using (Skintone name) and what is your favorite skin of them?

I have a lot of skins, something about 20 different non-default ones and one default. However, I use only few of them on my model Sims and the other are more of an experimental thing to test on new Sims I make.My favorites are:

1. Navetsea's Face-In skins (Cute Edition, Sexy Edition and Model Edition)

2. Ephemera's nAtural+, WEAK and NV1 (Pale and Light)

3. LadyFrontBum's Asian Faces and Naughty&Nice Bodies

So let's say your laptop has 500 gb of storage and you get an ssd drive with 200 gb replace the hdd drive, does it keep the 500 gb or do you only have 200 gb after replacing it? I hope that made sense, sorry, I'm not good with computers...

Unfortunately no. If you are actually replacing your HHD with SSD, then the number of GB's is also replaced. However, some laptops have the ability to install more than one storage device, so it's possible to keep your 500 GB and add 200 GB SSD if your laptop has that ability. Most of the non-gaming laptops available around don't have this, so I can't tell if this is applicable for your laptop.

Are SSD's expensive?

Yes, they are quite expensive. Considering how faster, smaller and quieter they are compared to HHD's, it's quite understandable. Few months ago they were about 10 times more expensive, but the prices are going lower rapidly since then. Now you can buy 128GB SSD (that is enough to store your system in) for about 120$.

8. Top 5 Video Games (not including Sims :P)

Game series can count as one? :D Anyway, here they are:

1. The Elder Scrolls Series (I love them all, can't choose just one :D)

2. Devil May Cry 3 (Other are good, but not as good as the 3rd game)

3. Tomb Raider Series (I still have the 1st game from 1996 and I love it)

4. Mortal Kombat Series (Deception and Shaolin Monks are my favorite)

5. Assassin's Creed 1 (Love the Brotherhood too, but the others were "meh")

10. Um, I have a thing for smart guys. Not the "nerd" type, but more of an intelligent yet good looking "geek" :D
