I'm vaguely familiar with Sims2. My kid has it and has played it some. Actually, a few of my freebies were once converted to Sims1 format (the Papasan chair and the Bamboo basket) - but unfortunately the creator dropped off the net before I managed to get a copy for myself :( Texturing for Poser has many similaritites to Sims texturing (as a recent thread in the Copyright forum shows...) - the main difference is that Poser uses a higher resolution. Larger and more detailed pictures. But the general idea of skinning is the same :) Yes, Bertha requires V3's morphpacks to work, whereas the FiveFreeFaces doesn't. I'm occasionally creating new morphs for the characters, and the ones I create nowadays will NOT requre any pre-installed (and expensive) morphpacks. You should consider the morph paks though. Yes they cost money, but they dramatically enhance what you will be able to do with V3 (and M3, if you buy his morph paks as well)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
