...I love going there, but my wife will not even go in. She does like that metal scorpion. She will not get near it; she fears insects will come out.

I read that as "Mental Scorpion"... it's good I misread that... Mental Scorpions are a very vexing condition if it's the psychological type... but the other kind of "Mental Scorpions" are just annoying with their obnoxious stupid behavior... either way, I misread that... but Metal scorpions are bitchin' like totally gnarly dude with their little electric guitars and headbanger gear... 

Anyway...

When I was kid my mom had no fear of insects and was actually quite fascinated by them... she had a pet tarantula and two small scorpions when I was really young... but she'd always catch interesting spiders, bugs, beetles and moths or butterflies, examine them and release them... her sisters were not overly fond of exoskeletoned critters, but they weren't scare or repulsed by them... I figured everyone was not freaked out by bugs and any time I came across someone who was, I figured something terrible happened that made them afraid of them... when I was older, for some reason most of the girls I dated were indifferent to bugs too... so when I met my wife, I figured she wasn't afraid of them either...

Yeah... I was really off.

Apparently very early on I caught a ginormous wolf spider on the stairway in her dorm and was hold it in my hands... I guess she didn't see me stop to pick it up (I didn't want it getting stepped on where it was)... So she saw me holding something cupped in my hands and said "What do you have there?"... So I opened my hand and showed her...

I learned my first memorable lesson about the decibel level my wife can attain when startled or freaked out... You may have heard it too, wherever you may have been if you were anywhere on the planet around late May, 1990... I'm kinda feeling there were other far distant planets where people were like "What the hell was that?", but so far I haven't remembered to ask... but anyway, yeah... I didn't learn anything from that because I caught a huge rat snake and showed her, which was equally well appreciated and pointed out a fox hiding in a bush two feet from her one night... you probably heard those too, but the point was, she's not fond of outdoor wildlife or creepy crawly critters and now I just pretend I forget she's not... but you know what, she still married me, so that's on her... plus in all fairness she did try to feed me to a huge barracuda on our honeymoon, so I guess we are even...

Interesting thing is she doesn't remember most of the things I tell her, but from that very first time on, if she sees me holding something with my hands cupped together, she's instantly like "Keep whatever that is away from me... put it outside, I don't want to see it..."

I may have heard that in May 1990.  I probably said to my friends or family, "Did you hear that?"

My sister is afreind of spiders.  But, to be fair, if one bites her, she blows up like a balloon and turnds pretty shades of blue!  I, on the other hand, avoid killing them, so you'll see one now and then in my house.  There is a pond across the street, but I've never had a problem with mosquitoes.

I'm trying to figure out why the reptile habitat. Last I remember, lizards and snakes will eat spiders, and many animals are immune to Hercules's venom.

Cats, dogs, dingos, and monitor lizards, geckos, rats, and marsupials such as dunnarts. I don't know if Australia has Insect Houses in their zoos. St Louis Zoo has a great insect house, Saint Louis Zoo | Insectarium (stlzoo.org). I love going there, but my wife will not even go in. She does like that metal scorpion. She will not get near it; she fears insects will come out.

Nit-pick - spiders are not insects, they are as far removed from insects as they (and insects) are from chordates (if not more so, given some aspects of their anatomy).

Nits, however, are insects. 

Only after they hatch.

I do know this. I had never heard of an Arthropod House. Most are kept in an Insectarium.

I love VWD! My friend and I tried for over a month to get this hair working in VWD. No dice. Close, but without the gorgeousness it affords through dForce.

So... I just got an email notification on this reply. Woot!!! Someone's playing with the forum code!!! :)

yep, they should play more often,

thanks for the headsup on the scorpion thing stezza (insert thumbs up pic here) 

i love to have a  just parts  animals or creaturs  that can be used  from older modles to  ganisis 8 or to 9 

like  just a chark tail  and put on to like dragkon .or    scorpion  on to a horse man , or clows of tiger on rabit  or snake head on tail of  man dog ..........  i know ther some parts that have some  but be nice to just  parts list only 

so can create a moghing  man beast shapshifer  

I think it would be fantastic to have a guy invite me to an amusement park where I could be flung several meters into the air, only to land on a tarmac surface so hot it's basically a thick liquid, so when I hit it I could leave an impression that eliminates the need for a chalk outline. That didn't happen.

But a close friend did buy me a Blu-Ray of the Super Mario Brothers movie and I really enjoyed it. There are so many movies like the Jem and the Holograms movie that seem like whoever made the movie has never liked or even seen the thing the movie is supposed to be about... kind of like the previous Super Mario movie... or the first Mortal Kombat movie where they thought it would be a good idea for both Scorpion and Sub-Zero to get killed off quickly and not be a big part of the movie while at the same time they saw it fit for Johnny Cage to survive the whole thing... but they got this movie right. And the sound was really something. I think the Dolby Atmos effects in the Mario movie were more impressive than The Last of Us or even the Marvel movies. Or maybe there is just better sound on Blu-Ray than the streaming services. Or maybe I'm high on bug spray. I don't know.

I don't want to be thrown several meters and land on burning tarmac at the same time. The same person who bought me the disc told me about when he was working at our local theme park, "Worlds of Fun" and the ground was so hot that it melted enough for him to leave footprints. Everybody in our circle, from he and the rest of my brother's friends on down to the rest of us, has worked at this theme park in some capacity. I am terrible at conclusions.

Hi RiverSoftArt

Custom conversions

I though Id try one of these

I tried the Rapter and the Manticore

I added the gen 9 figure and the Rapter selected both in the scene

The male figure converted OK, but in the cases above the textures were a mess? the morphs look ok

I assume the add on like horns extra legs etc are untouched. I added the fur, tail, mane etc to the converted one before saving

Was the material suit option on and added?

Yes, the add-ons will not be converted.

Hi I haven't turned anything off, I bought the whole set, so I thought they would just work together. The Genesis 8 conversions are mainly OK, Genesis 8.1 has problems with the textures on the head and upper back seams on some models

I also tried the scorpion and re added the legs claws etc Had an issue here as I couldn't hide or delete the Genesis 9 legs. I can only hide them on the Genesis 8 and 8.1 figure not delete them but the come back after conversion

Keep up the good work

Extreme morphs with add ons will not work.  I am going to look at G8.1 this weekend.  It could be loading the wrong material suit (G8 vs G8.1) and then the UVs are different.

Update on my May 4th coupon buying. I was able to get a bit more than I planned due to tax refund. Not a lot more because we needed most to go ahead with some repairs we'd been putting off on our non-virtual vehicles.
