Thank you Lyrra, I didn't know there was a Steph plugin for the UTC, that's great news. happy dance And yeah, I agree, her legs are better than Vickie's. :)

What is it with ebots around here? I'm getting ones from 10 days ago but not current? Has someone screwed up the software again? EB. I did purchase Vic2 and I still don't regret it, that's a great model and very versatile, but... Stephanie offers a different body shape and morph ability so for me it was another "must have" model. Only annoying thing is that there are so few skin textures for her and she does tend to look rather odd with a hairy chest and unshaven while wearing Mike's textures. Although for some images that does have uses. :) I am rather surprised that nobody bothered with the model, Vickie this, vickie that, vickie everything. Rather sad really. It almost shows a pathological attachment to a single model form. It's rather like Dacort's excellent Natalia and Natrixa models, almost completely brushed under the carpet in the path of the almighty Vickie. Such a shame. I guess we'll see whether the new Steph from Daz will suffer the same fate. Lemurtek: Thanks, generous as always. :) Sorry about infecting you with Qibes, but it is one of the purposes of my existence to make eyes bleed and peoples' minds scream. It's a compensation for no longer being able to make ears bleed. :)

Maclean: Down to your... Good lord man, you aren't doing enough Poser work, get that app open, lost some of that hair, people will start thinking you're a yeti what with being up a mountain and everything. ;) I see your changing room finally made it into the Daz store, going to have to pick that up soon so I can send you abusive emails about it. :) Seriously though, great looking model. Carolly: Thanks for the ideas, they're a tad above my current skill level with clothing but I will make a note of them. Hopefully I'll be able to find a way around a couple of the problems I'm having and start making stuff like that. Heh, I have a thousand and one items that I "want" to make, the trick is in being able to. :)

Heh, that's two less than I have Lyrra. Although she can wear Vickie's clothing it just seems, I dunno. wrong? grin Kind of like borrowing an older relative's clothing to go out. :) Then again, with a slightly different body shape Vickie's clothes don't fit overly well. Never mind, I decided to adopt the underdog, so keep an eye on my nick, you'll be seeing more for her.

It is the same all the time Which is a fair point Sharen. If all the readme files contain the same info then it doesn't really matter if they over-write - especially if they go into an "owner" folder. Personally I tend to include a file list in most readme files and occassionaly instructions, which means naming to the file is more useful as the readme's differ. I know a couple other people like Maclean who include mini-novels in them along with instructions to use the item. In those cases it makes sense to name it according to the product. For freestuff items that have commercial restrictions it's also a good idea to name the readme accordingly as it's then identifiable with the item in question. Being a freestuff whore with only one or two commercial tasks under my belt it's useful to be able to keep track of what can and can't be used. If however it's a very basic readme, such as the rosity MP license or similar file then overwriting isn't an issue. As with anything like this, common sense rules. :)

No compiler, you have to promise Santa Claus to be nice until Christmas, I'm Sanity Clause, you don't have to promise me anything except that whatever you take you'll actually use. :) Thanks Skygirl. I wasn't originally going to go near the horse but when I went looking for a fantasy tack set there seemed to be a huge choice of one and that appears to be only for the charger. I'm currently hunting down examples of other tack and saddles to make a few more.

LOL. Yep. He's going to send her back for the mace, lance, luggage and other horse later. :) Hey, equal opportunities and all that, can't be having guys playing pack horse all the time, have to share the burden you know. grin

Hiya Sho. :) LOL. I've had Rhino for quite a while, all the guns and other models I had were made in that, what I finally did get though (other than a severe headache and mostly frustrated) was a desire to make clothes I wanted rather than praying someone else would. Funny how a need can push a person in a particular direction isn't it? Still desperately need several clues for what I want to do but it's a start. :)

Sorry about that Artistheat, that site is in off-line hell at the moment due to circumstances beyond my control, or the control of the server owner. I'll have a new one up in the next couple of months and I'll let everyone know where.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I'm afraid that this particular Sanity Clause won't be able to fill all your stockings... international flight fares being what they are. However, all these and future items will be available for you to drag down into your goodies bags and play with. One way or another I'll make certain of that. EB: hiya, my main site disappeared when Crisodian moved house, unfortunately she moved into the "Money Pit" minus Tom Hanks and has been pretty much off radar since. I'm working on getting a new site with domain set up but the UK being what it is, finding a decent price for the bandwidth is the tough part. AprilYSH: LOL. No, not much difference, just a new way to beat up on myself. :) Jade: No time to scoot around with the missus, My bike is still off-road and she's mostly tearing around with the Queen of Darkness, no way will you catch me on the same stretch of road with that psychotic wench (QOD that is) :) Redfern: Short answer. No. Not to my satisfaction anyway. Tobor's model is excellent but it's not particularly Poser friendly - especially not in the arms. However, don't give up hope. I have a plan - and a new one in progress.

Funny I started doing that a couple years ago when this request first appeared, I'm constantly amazed that so few others do, it only makes sense after all. :)

ROTFL. I know, I kind of wish Christmas was here myself, but it's not long off. Only what? 10 weeks or so? Be around in no time. :)

ROTFL @ Nether. No, you knew I'd beat myself senseless against a wall until something clicked. That'd be more accurate. :)

Thank you Stallion and I agree with you, there's a huge amount of stuff available for Vickie, so I decided to be a tad different and use Stephanie, who seems to have somewhat less. Hopefully I can rectify that lack along with some complimentary outfits for Mike

Thanks KayJay, I confess I'm kind of hoping people will like the things. You know, make me feel better about the hair loss, nerve damage, sleepless nights. smirk
