First, let’s introduce Creative Freak’s staff.

- Claudia - Global moderator.

Competition Time
Not only can you chat about The Sims 2 on CF. You can participate in monthly competitions which allow you to shine!
Here’s the information about the competitions that are up and running until the given limit.
Creative Freaks Extreme Make-over
This competition is for the stylists of the Sims world.
Whether you like to play around with Sims clothes or your an expert at being a personal stylist, this the competition for you.
You’re given the chosen scenario and rules and you can download your ‘before’ person and style him or her as you please. Will it turn out to be a sensation on the CF forums or will it turn out to be a total flunk?
Edition #1
October’s Extreme Makeover Challenge was restyling Sarah Clearwater. She is a young mother of two and needed your help desperately.
Many joined and posted their ideas for the new and improved Sarah. But there could be only be 1 winner. That was…
1st Place: Claudia
2nd Place: Dangerous Kat
3rd Place: Shared by Jamie and CasperPaintbrush
Congratulations to Claudia for winning. Your our first ever winner of CF’s Extreme Makeover, and will receive a special prize!

Many copies all around the world have arrived at the shops on Friday so get there as soon as possible to get a copy. You can chat about your Pets Experience on the Sims 2 Chats forum.
If you have got a copy of TS2 Pets and you love it, we need you!
We are looking for someone to review TS2 Pets, and your work will be showcased in the next newsletter.
New Tutorials
Many tutorials have been posted, but the one we will feature this month is the
Extracting CAS or in-game born sims to bodyshop by Claudia.
If you’ve always wanted to know how you can extract that sim you just love and didn't make in Bodyshop, so that you can use him/her for any reason, have thousands of his/her clones on your neighbourhood or simply upload it to somewhere else, this tutorial is for you.
Thank you Claudia for this contribution!
Well that’s it for October folks, look forward to November’s newsletter!
