I noticed today that one of the oldest, most powerful and still popular modding tools for the Sims 2 passed away. The time of SimPose2 seems to be over.

I neither know if this is a Halloween treat nor if i am too late on this. During the last years i checked the official site simpose.com about one time a month to see if there is finally an upgrade, but today i got “page not found” 404 error. Also, the url is forwarded and says that the site is parked.

Now i’m wondering what’s going on. Is simpose.com really off or just moving and relaunching soon?

I don’t expect that the site will come back. The last update was from May 2006, over two years no sign of life. It was clear to see that the author had no interest in his project anymore. Now it’s gone without a word.

It’s a bit disappointing for those many people who still use SimPose to pimp up their sims. And those like me who spent much work in writing tutorials and telling everybody that SimPose is worth a try.

But anyway, it won’t change too much. I’m sure that the “forever unfinished” version of SimPose will be hosted on other websites soon.

Thinking of the upcoming “Elfish Spell” i can assure you that the loss of simpose.com will not change anything. The production continues like nothing had happened ;)

OK, this was the horror message of the day, have a scary halloween night!

First it was a story of success but now, only one year later, it’s over.

BlogRush.com, the free link-exchange service for blogs, is shutting down. Bloggers like me who are (were) members of BlugRush must remove the BlogRush-Widget from their sidebars. It already stopped working.

It’s a sad story because BlogRush basically was a cool service for blogs all over the world, who wanted to generate more traffic with an easy and user-friendly piece of widget. But the concept didn’t work due to various reasons. You can read the official statement of John Reese on blogrush.com >>>

To be honest, personally i’m not too disappointed. Since a couple of months i felt BlogRush didn’t work like i had expected it when i signed up. I often noticed that the same old headlines appeared on the widget over and over again (no wonder that nobody clicked on it). When i followed a headline because it sounded interesting to me i often found crap. This even made me stop clicking on the widgets of other blogs. Sometimes it’s that easy.

This may be a subjective impression but it was underlined by my site statistics: No remarkable visitors came to mxm-studios.com through the BlogRush link-exchange. Only a few during the first weeks. That’s not enough to give away my precious sidebar space.

I had planed to remove the BlogRush-Widget with the next relaunch anyway. Something went wrong with that service, the good intentions of the creators turned into an uncontrolable amount of problems. It’s sad, really.

So let’s thank the people behind BlogRush.com for their work and effort. I don’t think it was a waste. It was worth a try and perhaps they will return someday with another idea - and will have more luck.

Today i have 2 good news for you.

1) Though i was a little slow during the last couple of days i think i can state a deadline: In about 14 days the “Luisa & The Elfish Spell” Pre-Production phase will be done. During the next days i will tell you more about the upcoming tasks…

2) I will show you the making of a large 3D-Object i’ve created today. It’s the part of a set that will make it into the story.

This small inside view will give you an idea about the mystical atmosphere of “Luisa 6” and the original style of some objects that i create for the famous erotic story…

I know that there’s nothing better than Photoshop. When it comes to photo editing or any kind of graphical work Photoshop is State-Of-The-Art.

But if i could tell one software that’s nearly so good as Adobe’s Premium Application, then it would be “The Gimp”.

The Gimp is not only a function-filled luxury graphic editor, it’s open-source and 100% free, available for everyone without any registration or other bull…

I’m very proud to announce the new affiliate-partnership between mxm-studios.com and Playboy!

Yes, i’m talking about the one and only Playboy, the name that says it all. Its fine soft erotic flair fits perfectly well to this blog and i’m excited to see if you will like the new and very cool Page-Peel Banner at the top right corner.

I only needed to flip the positions of the “About”-Box and the Ad on the top of the homepage to make sure the AdSense-Banner would not be wrapped by the Playboy-Peel on small screens.

I like the changed look and think the Playboy Page-Peel makes mxm-studios.com even more interesting ;)

If you are running a cool website as well and are looking for a high-quality affiliate partner let me tell you how easy it is to put a Playboy-Banner onto your site…

Yet another WordPress version was released today and its highly recommended that everybody who has “open membership” on his blog should upgrade.

I guess “open membership” means the enabled setting “Anybody can register” which is exactly what you can do here on mxm-studios.com - though there is no need to register because all content is visible to everybody and all comment functions are activated by standard…

Anyway, i just upgraded to WordPress 2.6.2 which was easy like always and a task of about 1 or 2 minutes - thanks to the brillant plugin “Automatic Upgrade” by the honored Keith Dsouza. I think his plugin is the best WordPress-Plugin of all. So bless this guy and let him have sex with the most beautiful topmodels!

If you’re running your own WordPress-Installation (you don’t need to worry if you’re having a free blog on wordpress.com) and always get scared about upgrading, just install Keith’s Plugin and enjoy your day ;)

Thanks to the WordPress Developers and all the other freaks who made this fine piece of Blog-Software came true.
