INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put all files ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

Make your Sim the hottest Sim in town!  Use these cones to block off the hoards of adoring fans at a safe distance, so your oh so important Sim won't be disturbed by their cheerful praises.  Click on a cone to set it to your Sim, and fans will start to flock.  Each cone can ward off two fans, so use as many cones as you want.  Don't let it go to your head!  At anytime, unset the cones and your Sim will be returned to their normal, low-key life.  Additional gameplay instructions in the readme file, or click "Info" in the game.  Enjoy!  :)

GAME PLAY INFO:

Bringing Superstar elements to TS2.  Adoring fans will be appreciated by your Celebrity Sim, even if they are ignored, and your celeb's Social points will skyrocket whenever fans are on the lot praising them!

When first bought, cones are "Unset" (no Sims assigned to it).  Choose "Set Celebrity" and the Sim you pick will be the hot superstar.  Choose "Unset Celebrity" to have no hot superstars anymore.  Only one celebrity Sim can be assigned to each cone, but you can have multiple cones with multiple celeb Sims assigned to them.  You can Set and Unset celeb Sims for an individual cone, or for all cones on the lot.  

Once a cone is set to a celebrity Sim, you can't change it to another Sim without first Unsetting it.  More specifically, if you choose the "Set Celebrity.../All Cones", it will only assign the Sim to those cones on the lot that do NOT have any celeb Sim assigned to them.  That way, you can buy more cones over time, set a bunch of them to some new Sim, and not have to reset the existing cones.  Unsetting cones is easy when necessary, you can do it cone by cone, or unset all cones on the lot in a single click (... well, two clicks...).

You can't move the cone while it's in use (holding back your Sim's adoring fans).  But once the fans leave, you can move it.  Fans also will be too wrapped up in giving your Sim praise to be interacted with.  If you really want to greet them (or ask them to leave), just "Unset" the celebrity from the cone, and they will stop their jubilations and will interact with your Sim as if they are on the same level. ;)

Put the cones anywhere you want.  Each cone will summon two fans once you set a Sim to be the celebrity.  If no celeb is assigned (or if the cone is Unset), no fans will appear.  Fans who do appear will cheer, hoot, holler, and be overwhelmed to be in the presence of your Sim. They will be too overwhelmed by your Sim's glorious presence to want to do anything else.  They will eventually leave of course, and within an hour later, two more fans will arrive.  Because your Sim is so popular, this will go on all hours of the day or night.  Stop this anytime by Unsetting the cone or deleting it.

If you have a slower computer, try one cone first, then add more.  You may notice a slight pause when the two fans emerge, depending on your computer.  The more cones you have, the more processing power it takes to generate additional fans.  This is nothing harmful, but slower computers with a lot of cones and fans on the lot may experience some slowness, so keep that in mind.

Click "Info" to check which celebrity Sim is assigned to a particular cone.  Choose "Info.../All Cones" to get a dialog for all cones -- this option will only show you the cones that have celeb Sims assigned to them.  If a cone is unset, it will not display any info here.  The order info is displayed:  typically, it starts with the first cone placed on the lot, and checks the other cones from earliest to latest bought.
