Decided to update and create something with Blendy's figure in it:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Blendy_Original.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Blendy_Original_Banner.png

Obviously the colors can be changed and a more 3-D form can be achieved if that is what is wanted.

Again, suggestions and comments are more than welcome. <3

*edit* fixed the text.

I'm loving everyone's entries so far! Can't wait to see your full sets in all the sizes mentioned in the first post. Speaking of which.... yaaravanesse, please re-read that first post. MTS2 is becoming Mod The Sims, and the other sites' names are changing too. That's kinda the point of this whole thing. ;)

Well I had a try for Sim Adult. It isn't very good but anywho.

Cafepress.com? I work for Cafepress.com. I also work for Zazzle. If you think I should enter the contest, I will design a logo for the site. If you want to see some of my work, you may go to http://www.zazzle.com/okalani/gifts or http://www.cafepress.com/Okalani and http://www.cafepress.com/cp/members/stores/store_manage.aspx?storeid=Okalani_2
I haven't exactly come up with any ideas for the theme, but I will work on it. Thanks for giving my art something to do. :D

I'mSimalicious!, while I do like the graphics, I wouldn't allow those in the contest without getting specific approval from blendy since you are directly using part of thier work. I hope you understand.

At first I was going to do a purple plumbob, but the rules stated that we're not allowed to. So I guess I did as original as I could. I suggest you try it with a dark background. If you need me to change the background color for you, please ask through pms. If you want me to make a gif, please ask me. Those Gifs are examples. Another Example:

OMG! You all are so talented! I sat here and just stared at all of them for a long time. In the end I realized my eye was drawn to Blendy's and Black Orchid... Both look really modern and updated and both bring something a little different.

Good luck to all of you... ;o)

I think best logos are clean, simple and minimal.
For mts, i begin thinking at a symbol, because I don't like gears symbol..it's too much "work in progress" and too much "operative stuff" (sorry for my english)
Gears seems to say "we are technical worker", BUT what I want it to say is "we are creative" or "here you can find creative ideas"
So, I thought at at the symbol of "creation" and "idea" par excellence, that is the bulb, the light.
My proposal:
http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt67/Black0rchid/Black0rchid_logomts_2.jpg

Below, my work in progress:
http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt67/Black0rchid/Black0rchid_logomts.jpg
(i don't know why image here in the forum is blurred, look at the image in photobucket)
http://s598.photobucket.com/albums/tt67/Black0rchid/?action=view&current=Black0rchid_logomts.jpg

Bulb is perfect also because we can use it as plumbob is used in game.
Bulb over a head, and over everything can mean that this thing is about mts.
users with bulb over head, are mts user, and so on.
And this symbol can be used as an icon everywhere.
Here in mts we have a bulb over head instead of a plumbob :)

I post my work in progress and my preference above, so you can see different positions. I can also change the font and colours, but first it was important to explain the concept.
Concept summary:
- symbol of "idea" and "creativity"
- unique symbol near text(clean and minimal) (like as TS, that has the plumbob symbol, unique, near text)
- symbol that can be used like plumbob, but with more meanings (creativity, ideas, new, mind, etc)
May I point out that it doesn't say "Different" to me? It's not because I think mine is better, I'm just suggesting that you try something that doesn't look like everyone else's.

28th Jan 2009, 2:33 PM
okalani, a few things:

Firstly, animated logos are NOT allowed in any way shape or form.

Secondly, I think your designs are way too simplistic and doesn't really convey the feeling of the sites. I just really don't think they would work here.

Lastly, I happen to quite like BlackOrchids ideas (as I have said previously) and I would appreciate if you don't criticise other entrants work for no reason.

yaaravanesse, I like those but I'd like to see them in the other formats first - and I'm also confused as to why the wiki has rings :P

Deluxe Designs
28th Jan 2009, 5:07 PM
I think the "ring" you're talking about is meant to be part of a mignifying glass, the clear seperation of the handel to the lens part makes it unobvious but i think it is a mignifying glass :) I also love those designs!

froma3435
28th Jan 2009, 5:08 PM
I believe yaaravanesse meant for the icon for the Wiki to be a magnifying glass. I'm just guessing. Maybe add something a little reflective-looking in it's head to it doesn't get confused for rings? :)

fanseelamb
28th Jan 2009, 5:12 PM
Um, yeah I thought it was a magnifying glass too. ;)

BTW BlackOrchid, I agree with your thoughts on using a simple recognizable image.

28th Jan 2009, 6:36 PM
Hi everyone.
My Inkscape skills are still limited and so the icon idea I present today are of course quite amateurish in comparison to all your impressive and creative entries! Please consider it as a first draft :sheep:, it's just for MTS, if I manage to get better at making such things and if you all and especially Delphy see some potential in it I'll develop logos for the other network members, too.
Nonetheless I want to show you my idea as it is a bit different than most of the ideas shown here before.
I'd be glad to hear some comments or if it's a little inspiration for some of the others.

28th Jan 2009, 7:23 PM
Because the first design might have been unclear, I updated the design of the wiki symbol:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/MTS_Contest_Wiki_.png

And Delphy, I'll be drawing up and posting the correct sizes and formats later today or tomorrow. <3

I'm so glad that mts2 is expanding. I have not contributed to this site for some time, since i needed to remove the game from my computer to free up some space (50g of custom content!!!). I now have a new computer and since the sims 3 ir soon arriving, i decided not to re-install my game.

My firts contribution in a while, hope you like them :)

That is much better Yaar :D And i can see the potential Jon, i get what you're trying to do and i imagine that the bit of graphics coming from the pencil will be extremely hard to create! :P When going for your next draft try using the mid colour of all the shades as the line colour and make it slightly thicker ;)

Deluxe Designs
28th Jan 2009, 8:27 PM
Wow Autiep, i love those designs! :D I especially like the sims community one, i think you should do the same thing to the adult one as you did to the wiki one also with an image behind it all, it looks good :)

I just uploaded Sims 2 to my Windows partition on my Mac. NOW I'm ready to Mod Sims 2, just on the eve of the release of Sims 3. With all that I have read here and elsewhere this past week, I know that Sims 2 will be around for a very long time.

I just want to thank everyone and give kudos to all the extremely creative people who make Sims 2 play/creation far more interesting!

yaar has won me over.
The design is simple, modern, sleek, and promising. I love when fonts are bold, then thin .. its so attractive, especially for a clean slate.

All the best, and can't wait for this new site!

Really nice to hear, after I heard otherwise just days ago. I don't plan on getting 3, because 2 is huge. I've only scratched at a few extra neighborhoods, and all of my custom families are in Pleasantview. How [ ] is that? I spent most of my time building and editing designs, but also searching for art deco period items online. Mts2 has been a real help for that. So thanks for hosting, and choosing to go forward into the upcoming game.

As one who won't be purchasing Sims 3 until I can get them used ;)

Sadly I don't think that will be happening besides the ever so loved Securom being on Sims 3 EA is making registration MANDATORY so I hear, Since EA views everything from renting to buying used games to be some form of piracy. If this truly is the case I won't be buying it at all. It's sad the game has so much potential but I fear EA's policies scare away many more people than they attract.

I am very glad that MTS will still be offering Sims 2 DL's because I have met so many great creators here and even had the honor of helping some of them out with Binning ETC it would be a horrible loss for the gaming community if MTS completely stopped making Sims 2 content available. I know our community has experienced many arguments over Pay sites etc and that some of us have put up walls separating the pirates etc. But we need to let that go and remember why we are all here in one place.

We LOVE the Sims!! :rofl:

I hope that when Sims 3 comes out perhaps some things will change in the community and that we can be 1 community again instead of being divided over such stupid things. To Noukie We love and respect you for all you've done to try and bring simmers back together by offering help to paysite owners who want to go free. It's a disturbing thing to me as a member of many different gaming communities to see how immature people can be. Please remember this is a GAME and it's supposed to be fun not frustrating.

Holy Crap LovingDiva that's an insane amount of work you put in there. I think those designs are excellent!

Hmmm I really thought I would grow up by the time Sims 3 came out - apparently I was wrong - bring it orrrn!

I hope the start of the TS3 era at MTS2 is as fun as the start of the TS2 era was, - especially while everyone was mucking in to figure out how things worked..when we were young....wheeee!

MTS2 4 lyFe!

The global lookin remind the original Maxi's logo, but when you watch it well, it's not really the same ^^
I think it's necessary for a notorious site like MTS to keep some lines from the original Sims design. Also, it's necessary to have a simple, purified, and easy to remind logo.

Hope you'll like it!

Ciao!

Okay, decided to put mine in, too! Just wanted to see how far my photoshop skills could go! I saved these as .png's because I wanted it to match any background that the moderators have all ready had on the websites. To be honest, after the MTS Logo, I got lazy on the rest! There's a lot of great artists out here! Love all of the designs. Even if mine don't get picked, I needed to touch up on designing and creating graphic designs. Thanks for the opportunity, MTS!

Autiep03, I like the idea of simplicity but whenever I see or hear the letters MS my brain automatically goes to multiple sclerosis...so maybe having the T in your first logo would be better? Just a suggestion.

I absolutely LOVE Black0rchid's designs, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Bulb_Original.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Bulb_Community.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Bulb_Adult.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Bulb_Wiki.png

I realize they're not quite as "shiny" as some of the others, but I believe they are very graphic (in a good way). <3

And an example of the banner:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/yaaravanesse/MTS/Bulb_Original_Banner.png

Comments and suggestions are completely welcome.

I LOVE the logos you made, great job! lol, i'm making my own, but they're no match for any of the other ones here!

lol, i see a lot of plumbbobs, but aren't plumbbobs against the rules? That really does eliminate many of the logos already posted up here!

dang it, my paint.net and GIMP keep crashing!!! i think it was that plugin i downloaded.. and MS paint won't support transparency... this looks like i'll have to make a white background, not transparent!! No, wait, i think I will send myself my logos and use another computer..

I believe, you can't use the actual plumb bob, from the Sims 2 or Sims 3, nor can you make a plumb bob with the same sides/faces as the those also. Anything else is fine (like diamond shapes, or a diamond with more or less sides/faces than the Sims plumb bob.)

August? What makes you say August? D:

okalani, a few things:

Firstly, animated logos are NOT allowed in any way shape or form.

Secondly, I think your designs are way too simplistic and doesn't really convey the feeling of the sites. I just really don't think they would work here.

Lastly, I happen to quite like BlackOrchids ideas (as I have said previously) and I would appreciate if you don't criticise other entrants work for no reason.

yaaravanesse, I like those but I'd like to see them in the other formats first - and I'm also confused as to why the wiki has rings :P

I wasn't criticising anything, I was pointing out that it didn't seem different enough. And I didn't see any rule about the logo's being cartoonish. And besides, it's hard to create 3D images with Paint Program. And BTW Animated doesn't necessarily mean cartoonish. It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I don't see how it's was any different than anyone else's Sims 2 sites. :|

Let me point out that it says nowhere in the rules that it cannot be cartoonish.

A plumbob is a plumbob - if EA can get pissy at us over a mousemat, they can get pissy at us over something which just so happens to look like their plumbob.

5th Feb 2009, 5:51 AM
Well.. Here's my work.
I hope Black0rchid has no problem with the fact that I used a light bulb for MTS logo.. If shee has, I will gladly edit/remove my entry.
I'm satisfied with the results, though I may work a little more on Sims Commuty banners. I take any suggestions :)

I made two colors for community, one to fit the current theme and other because Delphy said that green is the color used for the community site ^^

Note: All my .psd files are bigger than the .jpg
3000x3000: logos
2000x277: community large banner
1000x168: community small banner
1350x360: tabs
880x310: links
500x500: icons
I hate to work with small images, so I make everything big, then resize it ^^

I had to clean my temporal files to see the updated files.
http://modthesims2.com/showpost.php?p=2112259&postcount=324

Edit: I was checking other entries and I have a couple of questions:
1) About the 60x60 logos: Are they suppoused to be the same big logos with the only difference being the size? The ones I made are 500x500 but when you resize to 60x60 they look as good as the big versions. They look good right?
2) Is it possible that someone's designs are choosen, but for a single site you choose someone else's?

PS: Again, I would like to know what you think of my work :)

I am so anticipating the release of the long awaited Sims 3. Here's a heatfelt thank you to you and all of the other simmers, creators, modders. Carry on the good work. Many, many thanks. *Gives Delphy a GREAT BIG HUG*

I recall reading a thread a year or so ago that there were no plans for an MTS3 and that the MTS3 domain name was already taken, I just couldn't imagine playing my game without Mod the Sims. I'm sooo happy right now and this over anything else has me thinking that I may just buy the game after all.

Maybe so - but this site will be ModtheSims, not MTS3 and is a network of sites - so somebody makes a cheap copy, on the back of this sites work?

Won't be as good, and will not last without the things that makes this site so good; UNLESS opened by the same team that run this site, in which case I take it back.

The only ones I didn't complete were the link buttons--I wasn't really sure what you were looking for there, but if you care to elaborate, I could probably whip something up before the end of tomorrow.

Okay, time for some shut eye... 'Night, all!

I just wanted to pop in once more before the contest closes, and wish everyone good luck. The art that has been put forth is absolutely amazing! Delphy and the rest certainly have their work cut out for them. <3

Hi everybody, I haven't been here for 1,5 years cause I quit Sims2 back then...
But I'm looking forward to Sims3 and am SO happy that I will be able to visit my old favorite sims site again!!
Oh, err, and one question (I didn't read all 381 previous posts, please forgive me if this has been answered) - what will be the new domain of Sexysims? I didn't find an announcement over there... and it's not simsadult.com...

Wow... it's weird to be posting again after all this time but it sure feels good :-)

makabaer
1st Mar 2009, 3:25 PM
Oh, and one thing about the new MTSi domain: the cookies don't work so far - or something like that - at least I can't stay logged in, I had to get back to MTS2 to be able to post.

-edit: just now realised I could have added that in an "edit" instead of posting a new .. err... post. ;-) Have to get used to using forums again, please bear with me...

Delphy

Neither modthesims.info (or sims-adult.net) are active yet. :) So the logins wont work.

I am so looking forward to the site resp. network changes, it's a phantastic idea to put it all together rather than starting new Sims3 sites!

Not sure about the legal stuff when it comes to plumbobs, depends how it is explained. Some clarification would be appreciated.

Anyway, wanted to update my logos one final time.

Heres the main logo with a white background:

THe MTS lettering would be a recognizable symbol, along with the AS and SW2 for the partner sites.
I love it. Now this is what I was talking about when I said, "I wanna see something different". :deal:

Delphy never said anything about cartoonish - animated means flashing, blinking, moving etc.

Oh. Well I was just throwing examples out if you guys wished. When Delphy said "Gif", I thought they said the animated kind. :giggler:

Aww! I love this idea!
Its great that ModTheSims2, is now going to be ModTheSims.

I've been reading this whole post, and I agree, you guys really should consider opening a Sims 1 section! I still play, and its hard to find up and running sites, other than TSR.

Boy this is good news. :bunny: When I heard the SIMS3 was going to be released on June 2, I pre-ordered it so I could be the first on my block to have it, but then I thought, what about the simgoodys on modthesims2 and my prayers were answered! Thanks, Delphy!!! :rofl:

modthesims.info Login doesn't "log in".
is that site still being renovated?

Delphy
31st May 2009, 10:36 PM
sehana: Thats becuase modthesims.info is actually modthesims2.com - it doesn't login becuase the cookie domain still thinks it's here, not there. When the site name switches over, though, the logins will work.

I'm so glad we'll still have Sims 2 on the site! I have no intention of abandoning my Sims 1 or Sims 2 once I have Sims 3. I'll just have to divide my free time between them! Of course, like any new toy, TS3 will dominate my attention for awhile. I love this site and would be bummed out big time if it ended!

Thanks to all of our talented artists and moderators!

sehana

I too am really glad that modthesims will still be up and running.

YES Thank you moders and artists!!

So (I'm a bit late sorry) MTS2 is now MTS or MTSi (the great). It's a big news and perfect for the Sims series ! Bravo and :beer: to all !

I have long been a member of MTS 2 and I am so happy to hear that you will be incorporating the new Sims3 game into your site. I just received my collector's edition today via UPS and have it all installed and went to the new Sims 3 community and registered there. Got this really cool car to download for free. But I will say that the custom content there leaves a lot to be desired and that is why I am so happy to hear you will include Sims3 at this site. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You people are the best at what you do which makes people like me (uncreative) able to have lots of fun with the Sims :)

Is Sims 3 compatible with Sims 2?

Whiterudder
15th Jun 2009, 3:55 AM
That's like asking if your lawn mower is compatible with your spade. Yes, they're two completely separate things, they have no effect on each other whatsoever.

it means its out
is the site ready?

Delphy
19th Jun 2009, 12:36 PM
pozzetzui: Absolutely not. We don't have any news on the front page, or any modding forums setup discussing the game, nor do we have any tools out, or any downloads whatsoever... This site is totally absolutely void of anything Sims 3 related completely. Won't find anything here, oh no.

You forgot to mention that you don't have an entire section of the social forums devoted to people playing their Sims 3 game either. :lol

SIMS 3

Hi please help-

I made a lot and when I try exit it, and go to Edit Town, it says I can't because there's somebody dying on it.There was a woman before
but she died, but I sold her tombstone.
Her boyfriend also died, but I sold his tombstone, too.
Now there's this guy there who's single and he had 2 kids with the girl before she died. Now he has a new girl, who just had a baby. I tried moving her in but it said I couldn't because there were too many people on the lot, and currently there are only 3 people. What could be the problem??

Thanks,

Ashleigh
