Updates and News
May 20, 2007
Finally, after four and a half years of creating The Garden Of Eden lot and introducing my version of Adam and Eve, here they
are, complete with their kids and their own extra customized fashions! But I didn't stop there! I took those special tribal skins by
Vern and Wotty of Sim Bolix and created a set of Tribal family including Elders and kids.
Vern had given me their orignal skins as a special early gift back in 2001 when they previewed the men set on their website, but the
skins were never made available for download. I am very proud to continue what they started and I've up-graded the skins for Hot Date,
Vacation and Superstar. The only thing that is missing is a fashion for winter. :( Oh, well, I think you'll be able to survive. ;) I do
have plans to add a couple of their original skins as is, however, the witch doctor is a custom mesh and I have to create meshes for
his swimsuit, etc., and I've misplaced the original texture for the tribal mask. Anyway, be on the look out for that. And do enjoy. And
DON'T forget to let me know if I made any mistakes by contacting me using a Contact form. I'm only human, and these were a LOT
of files to juggle at one time, so who knows what I may have done! :P

Well, my graphic card died on me late last December and I wasn't able to get to anything new for months, but I'm finally ready to get
back to some serious skinning. If you don't see anything new here at this site every month, don't forget to visit The FantaSim Tales.
Most of my current plans is to complete some old requests, finish or start some ideas of my own, and to bring you a few skins
created by a couple of friends.
This month, just in time for Easter, I did something I've been meaning to do for a very long time, make Bunny Costumes for your Sims!
It's the first of character costumes I thought about doing, but you know how real life often gets in the way of a happy Sim life, so this
was the first time I was able to create a set and Easter is the perfect theme for the first costume. Remember, I only made the costumes
for Fit and Fat adults (so you do not have to download both sets unless you play both fit and fat Sims), but if there is at least one request
for Thin adults, I can rename the mesh and textures to fit in no time and upload them to the site. Just send me a contact form if you're
the one who wants a set for all your adult Sims. You can find the Bunny Costumes on the Characters home page.
I think I'll make a fairy costume next. In the meantime, Have a Happy Easter!
February 1, 2007
Hello and Happy New Years! My graphic card died on me late December and I wasn't able to get to the new set of winter theme fashions
that I wanted to do, and I'm still not able to create anything new. However, I will have a new card any day now and I'll be getting to
some projects that I started for the Tales Of The New World Sims so some of the theme skins will show up here for you to download.
In the meantime, I've returned a Valentine formal created by Drewster, winner of The FantaSim Group's 2004 Valentine's
contest. It comes in two different sets: one set is complete with head and body in all skin tones named for the regular game; the other
set is for the Buy Racks for Hot Date and Vacation players, but this set has the body only. Be sure to read the text file so that you're
extracting the "buy skins" into the right folder or they will not show up downtown or in a vacation lot. The couple is now available
on the Women's page under "Fit".
Also for Valentines, see the Rose theme Lingerie and Pajamas on that section of the site.
December 6, 2006
Once again, I'm simply featuring some older fashions that have been lost and now found. I plan to have something new before the
end of the month. Happy December!
October 2, 2006
Nothing really new, but you may like the Maxis Career fashions that I decided to add to the site. I made these a couple of years ago
for my Yahoo group, and now since I no longer have to worry about space and bandwidth I decided to add them here. Hey,
Halloween is coming and wouldn't them make great costumes for your Sims? They come in all three skins tones and most of them
are for all body types. Find them at Latest Arrivals. And if you want some Female Fall Fashions that you will not find on this site
you should join The FantaSim Yahoo Group!
Otherwise, have fun and keep Simmin'!
June 25, 2006
Happy Summer! In celebration of the 4th of July, I've returned some lost theme fashions! And as always, they're in all skin tones,
for all body types, as well as for children, and now also named for the "Buy Racks" in Hot Date and Sim Vacation. So go get the
Flag theme Sun Dress and Shorts Set for Fit Sims and the swimsuits for all Sims on the 4th Of July page!
February 11, 2006
I'm moved! Welcome to Other Sim Skins at it's new host, GoDaddy! :D
February 10, 2006
A very late Happy New Year! I'm in the process of moving the site and there should be some new skins coming over the next few
months. Right now I've returned Magic Jar's 2nd Place Valentine Skins from The FantaSim Yahoo Group's 2004 "Valentine's
Contest" for those who didn't download them the first time around. Click each image here on the front page to download.
n addition, notice that All Victorian Sims has been moved to here and there WiLL be some updates in Victorian skins. I plan a
new family plus some Victoiran swimsuits and pajamas.
This is my Fifth Anniversay momth so be sure to check all of my sites for new downloads to celebrate my five years of creating
Sim stuff.
October 1, 2005
Hey! I've got some new skins for you! I have been revamping a new installation of the game so that I have neighborhoods filled with pale, gothic and
magical Sims. And part of that meant everyone had to wear black at all times! And I figured there wree others of you out there who would love to have
Black Wizards and black basics for your Sims as well. Keep in mind that I made more than one version of these skins. You can replace the default
so that all Sims will wear the black basics automatically, or you can download the version that you can use for individual Sims. And, of course, I made
these fashions for all skin tones and body types. Go and enjoy! You'll find the new skins on the Latest Arrivals page.
Oh, and I do hope you've noticed that I've removed the Macromedia Flash buttons so those of you who's browsers were having problems viewing the
site should be able to without any hassles. :-)
January 3, 2005
As I stated above, I am no longer updating this site. I will be bringing back some lost and seasonal skins as I locate them, but I will no longer take
any kind of request unless it's to change a body type or skin tone.
However, I'm always willing to host someone else's skins. So if you're an new skinner and is interested in sharing your skins for The Sims or Sims2,
or an experience skinner looking for a new home for your creations, please contact me and we can talk about it!
November 13, 2004
I know, it's been along time between updates. The truth is I'm about to stop planning and creating new skins for this site. As I make them for a story,
or I find skinners willing to have me host their skins, I'll be bringing you more.
Today, I bring you the Astronaut family by Lisa, aka itsmeimlost, featuring a helmet mesh by Phython! They come complete, with the helmet attached
to the body so that they will not wear their helmet in bed, the swimming pool, or when the bathe. And ANY Sim can put on this Astronaut suit as long as
their hair fits under the helmet! Download them in any skin tone on the Latest Arrivals page!
September 4, 2004
Hello everyone! Guess what? An update! Once again I bring you some of Magic Jar's beautiful and creative fashions for Fall. Right now, I have them
in fit and full only, and as soon as I find a thin mesh with flares that I can use (don't have Milkshape3-D right not to edit some of my own), they will also
be available so that all of your Sim women can sport the new looks. :-) You'll find them on the Latest Arrivals page.
July 3, 2004
Summer is in going strong, and your Sims deserve a new swimsuit! These Daisy swimsuits come to you by way of guest skinner and good friend,
D. Ray. Don't forget to visit him at "Return to Sim Valley" and see what's been up! Find the new swimsuits the older styles on the Swimsuits page!
April 13, 2004
New character skins for you today! I want to thank Mickey for suggesting these aliens that I was able to create very quickly with the help of the
wonderful "teen" body mesh by
Melissa at Sim Life Cycle Project for that "extra" skinny look, and Maxis' alien head mesh and graphics. Don't forget to download the extra zips
that contain the swimsuit and pajamas for regular The Sims players or the "buyable" versoins if you're a Hot Date,
Vacation or Superstar player.
April 2, 2004
I like to introduce Magic Jar, the new guest skinner here at Other Sim Skins. You may have seen her fashions at the Sims Exchange, and she was
the second place winner of The FantaSim's Valentine Couple Skins contest. She is a talented crafter and has very graciously allowed me to host
many of her skins. This is only the first installment and I hope you enjoy them.
February 13, 2004
Second place winning Valentine's Couple contest skins by MagicJar are now ready for you to download! Visit the Latest Arrivals page to get them!
February 11, 2004
Just in time for Valentine's Day, the first winning skins from The FantaSim group's Skin Contest! Today I bring you the First Place winning
Valentine Couple skins by Drewster of Livin' It Up. Congratulations Drew for a set of very lovely Valentine theme formals (don't
you just lovethat white?)! Drew was kind enough to create the skins in all three skin tones which come in one zip. Link to Latest Arrivals to get the
female and male set complete with craniums!
Second and third place winners will be available here soon. Don't forget to come by and get them. They are very cute contempoary styles for a more
casual Valentine's Day celebration.
Don't forget that there are a set of Rose theme lingerie that I created last year just for Valentine's Day for all Sims, all skin tone and all body type.
If you didn't download them last year, they are still here part of the regular collection for you.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!
And here I am back after a little vacation. Well, I didn't get any rest and relaxation, but the site HAS been up and down for a couple of weeks now.
Not only that, but I just recently discovered that no one outside of the U.S. could access the site for a few months now. What was up with that? Well,
it seems that my OLD host only served U.S. ISPs! But, fear not, I have a NEW host with a MUCH better service, allowing access to EVERYONE
all over the world. I plan to be around for a very long time and I want all players to be able to get my stuff!
Only a small set of new "Pale" Sim skins today. While I was uploading files to the new host, I realized that many of my older character Sims need
to be updated for Vacation and Studio Town, so I started with Vena, Lorne and Vamp. But, I thought, why not give them some fashions to wear while
I'm at it? So they each have a new formal skin; PLUS Patrick of Autumn Sims so graciously allowed me to take two of his fashions and make
them match Vena's and Vamp's skin tones, so they have TWO new skins, not just one. In fact, Vena and Vamp have the same custom pale skin tone,
so you can interchange their fashions any way you like!
I don't know when I'll update again, still have some other pressing issues to deal with at the other sites. But it shouldn't be too long. I have Adam and
Eve plus the Invisible Man who've been waiting patiently for me to complete their custom sets, and they will definitely be ready before the Spring. But
you never know...someone may decide they want to host their skins here as well. Do keep checking in with me now and then, okay?\
November 10, 2003
I've had to put the new downloads on hold once again because I am in the process of
updating and moving Sim Decor, Sim Lots and All Victorian Sims. If you have had
problems with these sites, it's the server, not you or me. The sites will be back up as
quickly as they can get them ready. Look for new skins here before the month is up.
And, yes, I have Makin' Magic (loving it! when I get a chance to play, that is! lol!), and I've
already have had players asking me if I'm going to make things for the expansion pack.
Please keep in mind that I don't make anything for simply for a specific expansion pack.
The things I make, skins or objects, are for ANYONE to play. However, yes, I will make
downloads for the Makin' Magic theme. In fact, if you check out Nightmare's page and my
other Goth or Character skin pages, you will find skins, that have always been here, just
perfect for Makin' Magic!
October 1, 2003
Nothing new yet, but there's already plenty of skin downloads if you're looking for
something for Halloween! I do have an Invisible Man skin I'll be completing real soon, so
don't forget to come back!
I'm getting many, many new visitors since I hit the Maxis The Sims official site links page,
but, no one is signing my guest book. Why not give out a shout and let me know what you
think about the site before you move on, okay?
September 4, 2003
Just got a report that the boy child new overalls skin was "head and hands only". Well,
seems I forgot one of the mesh files in the zip. It's been added, so please be sure to
redownload that file if you need to.
September 1, 2003
Wecome to Sistergirl's Other Sims Skins on it's own domain! Yes, once again, I had to move,
but I think I found the perfect home for my fashion and non-fantasy skins, and the skins of
talented skinners that I find now and then.
I'm getting ready to take a much needed break from Simming, but I do have a few skins
that are at the "half-way" point in getting completed that I will be adding between now and
Christmas.
I hope you like the new set of overalls. I know, I know, I mostly just did a recoloring and
used an already made shirt from the Maxis originals, but hey, I attached the hat! I just had
to do something new for the first month at the new domain. And I sure that your farmer
Sims will be very happy with something new to wear while they're doing their gardning.
August 6, 2003
A few new skins for you this month. I've had request for more "Sim heads", so I've taken some of
my winged and other fantasy character heads and removed the attachments so that you can
download just the head. I've also dug up a few heads that I've made on request, but never added
here. I'll be adding more now and then (especially more bearded men for CarolAnn ;-)), so don't
forget to check back often. You'll find the current new group on the HEADS page.
I hope you like the "Kitty" skins. They were by request from Crazy_4_Jezz and Mermaid Kitty. I
have no plans on making more, so please do not ask. I just did these two because they didn't take
long, and I figured, why not? I want to thank Bast Dawn of Sim Raccoons for altering Aladrin
Kelahn's cow ears to create the cat ears (save me time again, you dear friend!).
Okay, I do have lots of plans for more skins, but I do believe it's time for a break. So don't be
surprised if you don't see much activity around here for a few months. Don't forget, you can get
more free skins by myself and few guest, including some original NPC made into playable skins,
at The FantaSim Yahoo group. So, why not join. And don't be shy. That group is more than just
for downloads, it's also for chatting, sharing, and winning some prizes!
See you later!
June 22, 2003
New summer swimsuits! All come with summer sunglasses so that your Sim will be "made in the
shade" and looking down right cool. In addition, a return of last years summer fashions and,
for those U.S. Sims who will be having a bar-b-que or picnic, skins just perfect for celebrating
the Fourth of July! Check out the Swimsuit page for skins for every Sim age, body type
and skin tone.
June 17, 2003
Two new celebrity skins for you this month: the J-Pop Star, Gackt, and actor Jesse Bradford.
Jesse Bradford is a head only file in two different versions (I couldn't decide which one I
liked best, so you get both, ;-)) I would like to thank Ed for requesting the Jesse head, and
the Gackt skin was also requested by a visitor. Gackt is now on the "Characters" page for
Celebrity and Characters and you can find Jesse on the "Head" page.
May 18, 2003
Okay, so I saw The Matrix Reloaded and just had to make a Twin skin! These meshes were
modified from the original meshes by Fionn and Jerome of Sim Freaks. And, now that
Superstar is out, there is a special zip file that contains the Twin's Studio Town skin for the
"buy" rack. Notice how his winterwear is STILL the trench coat and suit? Cleaver, huh?
Be sure to download the special zips for the Hot Date and Vacation buy racks if you have
these expansion packs installed, or the Twin WILL NOT have his special pjs, swimsuit, and
winter wear. He is now located on the "Goth and Pale" skins page. I will have a few new
skins next month including a celebrity skin and new heads. Also expect a some new
summer skins and new overalls late June and in July. Want some skins that are not on any
web site? Want to enter contest and win prizes? Join The FantaSim e-group and you can!
April 1, 2003
It's been a long time since an update, and I decided it was also time for a new look. Now
find new skins on this Home page under Featured Downloads and on the Latest Arrivals page.
Spring is here and there is a new set of men, women and children fashions that not only feature
meshes by Jerome of Sim Freaks, but also a couple of Maxis' meshes from House Party and
Unleashed. You don't need the expansion pack to play these skins and they come with the
mesh included in the zip. See them on the new Latest Arrivals page.
During this update and redesign I found many broken links which should all be now fixed. If
you visited before and couldn't download a skin, go back and check it now. Please let me know
immediately when you can not download anything from this site.
I will not be taking any request for skins until further notice. I have several already, plus I have a
few other Sim related projects I'm working on. I do want to bring you some more overalls,
especially with the sun hats I've been promising since Unleashed was released.
I want to thank Paige for requesting the Elizabeth Barrington of the soap opera "Port Charles"
skin. I think that she came out well. You will now find both skins on the "Character" skins
page. Original meshes by Jerome and Fionn of Sim Freaks, www.simfreaks.com.
I hope you all enjoy the new skins. See you soon and happy Simmin'.
