Thank you so very much!! I was so disappointed when I found that EA omitted the pointed ears option in Sims 3. Thank you for making this! You are amazing! Now I can make elves!!

I've tried this with my game (WA, latest patch) and it doesn't show up; therefore I assume that it does not work.

Shame. This is a very nice mod.

Hopefully it will work as I have WA!
Very nice mod.

OtakuFan: This mod DOES work with WA. I've tried it with the latest patch - still works. If it's not working for you, please check the usual things - other CC works, other custom sliders work, you have a core mod to increase the number of sliders.

I too was having problems with these.

I had even tested in my game with no CC but these and WA 2.6. Even with no CC, and so no need for a core mod, the ear sliders do not show in CAS. I even cleared all cache files with dashboard. still no sliders.

Then I looked at the resource file... I let the "monkey bars" do the work this install as my system went kaboom last week. It was the resource file that was the issue. go to the help here

http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit...g_Package_Files

Use the Resource you can install manually. The "monkey bars" version is not compatible.

I'd like to build a world, a better world.
Guess I'll start here...

Thanks, Ashillion. I suspect most people saying this doesn't work with WA don't have their game set up properly for CC. That's why I say PLEASE check that other CC works before assuming this particular mod doesn't work.

I think "Monkey Bars" Needs updated as it is what we suggest to use on MtS.

I Suggest you Do it Manually... giggle. If your gonna mess with mods you should at least understand the file structure. lol.

Hey, so I joined this website just to download your awesome ears, but they won't work. I decompressed them, put them in the right place, but they do not appear in game. Any suggestions please?

I feel like an idiot. I've read over a lot of the feedback and questions and I can't seem to get the sliders for these ears to show up. At first this is only slider mod I downloaded... but after seeing link to jonha's I downloaded the hip, chest, ect and that works fine. I have the base game and no expansions and I still can't seem to get the pointed ear sliders to show in the head/ear section.
I'm very confused, as normally I try my best to do everything that's said and I just... have no idea why this isn't showing up.
Am I missing something?

cooliecatt: Does other CC work in your game?

Maresuke: Are you sure you're looking in the Ear Settings, not the general settings for the Head and Ears? Here's a pic of exactly where they are:

Scratch that. I just copy and pasted the files again into the packages folder and replaced... and I don't know why but they work now. (I use the monkey helper tool normally)

Anyhow. They're working wonderful now. Thank you. I cry tears of joy.

Umm, I keep trying to download these sliders and it just isn't working. This is the first time I've downloaded something from this site so I might be missing something but what exactly do you need to do to get it to appear in the game?

Um... I have tried these sliders and I adore them! But I haven't had any children inherit these ears. I have tried two different women with elf ears, but their husbands didn't have elf ears. One woman had a son who didn't have elf ears. The other woman had twin children, a boy and a girl. Neither of the children got pointy ears. I'm guessing it's because none of the fathers had pointed ears. I think that is the only problem. I'm gonna go test that out more. If I have any issues I will post back later. These are wonderful sliders anyway!

Marieh10: Keep trying. Each child should have a 50% chance of inheriting the ears, so with only three children it's probably just that none of them happened to get them.

Has anyone verified whether or not this works with the latest patch or Ambitions?

I've tried: /Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/Downloads
but it's not working.....

Alynyad and Ladylombardi: These work fine on my PC with Ambitions, in the new Documents\Mods folder.

Rin-Rin: I don't have a Mac, sorry. Try Googling "How to install custom content for Sims 3 on a Mac" and you should find plenty of help.

hi CmarNYC, could you retranslate your ears-sliders in italian language?

let me help you

ears tilted = inclinazione del orecchio
ears pointed = orecchio a punta
ears pointed back = orecchio a punta sul retro


let me know and thanks for your work

Hi - I did get your pm, just have been caught up with custom tattoos lately and haven't followed up, sorry. I'll use your translation and update in the next few days.
