PrepSims

Vima - Entering I am thinking, great...this is going to be a lot of snooty people and a dull party. Oh, it's a celebrity crowd. I see Britney Spears, who I constantly blame for all traffic problems in my city. "What's the hold up? Another Britney Spears concert in town?!"

We've got that scrolling text and some animation in our faces. I'm not too fond of a lot of things wiggling around. It's distracting.

The site is well laid out and the skins are good. They would be better with a little more shading on the textures. It appears they mix some Maxis pieces with their own. Like the pink top has great shading. The girl actually looks like she has some breasts, but the one above it has none. The material just stretches over the mesh.

The site ran out of room so is split between too. Perhaps it would be better if the men were on one site and the women on the other. The current layout creates a little navigation problem, but it's not that bad...yet. If the site grows, it could become a problem. Better to fix it before it gets out of hand.

The navigation bottons are in one column at the bottom. Would be nice to have them on the side like that or in a row where they are now.

All and all, the site is pretty nice. There is some room for improvement, so I raise 4 out of 5 martini glasses and hope they make some of the suggested improvements.

Mason - Okay everyone this has got to be one of the coolest sites for skins. They have just about anything that a fashion concious Sim would want. They have loads of skins from skirts, to pants, to sweaters!! I like this site alot. I only wish 2 things: 1. that they would update more often! and 2. that they would put more detail and shading into their skins. Some of the sweaters look very cute on the site but not so cute in the game. I give this site 3 martini glasses with a extra orange.

Church Lady - Prep Sims Clothing Outlet, I found a large selection of men and ladies skins here but nothing for the wee ones. The clothing available here is rather on the young and trendy side but I think that is what they are going for.

I did find a rather nice sweather set on page 10 to wear to church, but then couldn't find my way back so I had to frantically go back through the other 9 pages of ladies skins to get back to the index. It reminded me of the time the door jammed on the confessional and I was stuck there for hours till the rescue squad was called. Meanwhile the other ladies of the church were speaking rather scandalously while wondering just why I was taking so long in the confessional. *shivers* My THAT was an experience! Now where was I?

Oh yes, Prep Sims! Skyler, you have such sharp elbows, dear. The clothing there was of good quality rather underrated as it looked as good as some of the other so called Top Skins sites. Who is this Britney that was see so much about now? I don't remember seeing her at all on Sunday! Mayhaps there is a reason for that....hmmm? Is she friends with.....SATAN? Could be...

I must say the prom section was so very precious, I just hope the boys and girls behave themselves and go with chaparones. The apartment house that is available there is quite clever. I would say overall, I would have to give this site.....ummmm say 4 communion cups and a request that young Britney be given more clothes to cover herself with.

Skyler - Where do I start? The main page was nice enough, although we did have that scrolling text again. Do these sites get paid for scrolling text? I loved seeing Brittany Spears there, although she looked more like Tori Spelling to me, and I'm sure Brittany doesn't have such a conservative outfit. But even I love Brittany, a real cutie patootie.

Lets look at the women's section first. Hmmm... I know I'm in for trouble, the very first outfit has a white, black, black sweater (although I can only see white and black) and a matching "doo-wrap" which I am informed is a simple bandana. I suggest if you don't know what a doo-wrap is, you need not proceed since this site is going to be a trendy one. Going against my own advise, I proceeded. In my opinion, girls like to wear something other than flared pants. Page after page the pants were all flared. OK, there were a couple long dresses, and at the very end a couple outfits with Capri pants, but so many flares. I did like the fact that the outfits were all offered in all three skin tones though!

On to the men's clothing. Oh my, more flared pants! Everywhere I look there's flared pants and ribbed sweaters. I never date a man wearing such an outfit. OK, I make my way page, after page. Finally, I'm done. I click on the "direction" icon, thinking there might be instructions as to how to use a different mesh so your whole neighborhood isn't in flares, but no... Much to my chagrin it was only an index button disguised to be a direction button. However when I clicked on that button, I was taken back to the main page, where I happened to notice a disclaimer, to the left, way down low saying "To make everything clear all the males skins may look like bell bottoms or flares, that's because of Sim pose but I assure you that if you put them on the game they are not." Needless to say I was relieved, but more shocked to see this person knew what bell bottoms were in addition to a doo-wrap. I'm quite impressed.

All in all I liked this site for the more trendy teen Sims in our community. I'd like to see white backgrounds used for the darker clothing shots so I would have a better ideas as to how the clothing really looked.

I'd like to toast them with three martini glasses, and extra bubbles.

Vima, Mason, and Church Lady the next round is on me, as I have no doubt our next review will be a most excellent adventure! "Bartender, three martinis, and one Virgin Mary for the Church Lady"
