F.A.Q.


What is the purpose of this site?
Simply put: To allow others to read my Sims comic What Lies Beneath. I wanted to create a Sims comic and I didn’t want to bog down my main website, so I created this site to keep my comics.

How do you make your comic strips?
First, I write out my story lines. I figure out what characters I will be using, the location, clothing, etc and then I take the photos I need to fit the story lines that I wrote. After I do those things, I use Adobe Photoshop and a program called Comic Life to create the actual comic strip.

How often do you update your comic strip?
At the moment, three days a week. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I wanted to do it five days a week, but I decided that it would take too much time and be too much pressure on me. Besides, I do have a life outside of playing Sims. ;)

I have a story idea for your comic strip will you add it?
Nope sorry. This comic is my story to tell and I don’t take input for the characters or storyline. Plus, I am usually two weeks ahead of the most current comic strip posted, so I couldn’t really change things even if I wanted to.

Can I direct link to your comics on my site?
Please don’t. It takes up bandwidth from my site which costs me money. If you want to link to the comics themselves, I would prefer if you would link to http://simsoaps.com/wlb/. Besides, I’ve disabled direct linking so you will only get an error.

Can I upload your comics on other sites.
No. These comics are my work and are copyrighted to me. They are not to be placed on others sites. (Unless I give you permission or if I have uploaded them there myself.) If you want to share the comic with other people, please just post a link to the site.

May I link to SimSoaps or What Lies Beneath?
Of course! I would love it if you could spread the word around about my Sims comic strip! You can use a basic link or if you would like a button you can find one here!

Can we be affiliates?
Sure. If your site is Sim related or Comic related I would love to swap links.

Where did you find that hair/clothes/houses/object/stuff?
Some of the Sims stuff I’ve created, However, most of the stuff I downloaded. If I have time, I will help locate a certain object or piece for you, but sometimes I am busy and that might not be an option. However, I did make a basic link list of where I have downloaded most of my content from, but I have years worth of stuff and I can’t remember where I found all of it. You can find the link list here. If you really want a certain object, there are many Sims forums that have a WCIF (where can I find) section and you may be able to find what you need there.
