If you're familiar with The Sims, then you know that you can download different skins so your family members can change clothes or look like different people altogether.

Anyway, I came upon this website, did some searching, and just happened to find Manny (among other computer/video game characters).
http://www.strategyplanet.com/thesims/skins/vg9.shtml)

It looks like you have to be registered/sign up in order to be able to download the skin. I haven't tried it yet. But anyone who does could post screenshots of Manny's adventures in The Sims.

I've actually found some other adventure game character skins so when I get a chance to organize my links I'll post a list of what I've found.

I was sure one of these things would get out sometime.
I mean sims is the best selling game with 6 expansion packs and millions of skins for every actor, actress, known people, tv's games etc....

I don't like sims (find it boring :D )but the idea of putting manny eating with metche and have friends as Salvator, lola etc is funny. If there were home-skins for the land of the dead it would be fun....;)

I have that skin. Theres a few problems with it, or at least, on my pc.

- Manny's head is too slanted. Its not in the same position as in GF.
- His clothes seem to be white.

I an sure most have seen the image where there is a catfight . Imagine putting Manny and Domino getting angry and start a fight (the best would be an item named "scythe" :p )

Honest to god that's a pretty poor Sim of Manny. I once saw a totally awesomely cool one of Manny that looked exactly like him in his business suit, and another one in his reaper cloak! Lost the URL though :( . Maybe I'll scrounge around my computer and find it eventually.

i only made those poor skins cause i really wanted to play with manny in the sims, but no one made any skins.

You're the one who made the Manny skin? Small world!

Over at Sierra's official Gabriel Knight forum, I was posting some pictures of Gabriel Knight's adventures in The Sims and Manny popped in for a visit. Here are two pictures:

2. http://community.vugames.com/WebX?233@75.rRzOcSHHoPF.7@.efe329c/166!enclosure=.efecd57)

The ashtray is from http://www.cheapfrills.org)
I thought it was perfect for Manny. ;)
