Woohoo'd to death

[Brynne]

Well, no. Not exactly the same...

[Bangelnuts]

Well, no. Not exactly the same...

and as I recall i was the first one to marry Sim you off to Justin........ so sometimes good Ideas have a way of taking on a* life * of their own  Like My Idea to use version two of you as your twin sister and marry version 2 off to Josh  could well take on its own *life* your Don Lothario I dea was creative so I borrowed the base *idea* and then put my own touches on it as in he isnt running a orphanage in my hood soley for Joe and Bella"s benefit he iss there to accept all unwanted offspring from all families and *Teen* mistakes so as time goes on Don could end up raising literally dozens of kidsfrom various families. and who Knows I might someday create a wife for him but not right now

[reggikko]

Well....just my opinion, but, that storyline is Brynne's creative property, even if it is *slightly* different.

I haven't managed to find a pic which shows Keanu's face in that game, so I'll have to keep looking.  I know there should have been some somewhere!  (But I've so many backups of that game, I don't know where to start!  But I may have one of another Keanu in another Pleasantview, and he'll look the same - he always does!

and who Knows I might someday create a wife for him but not right now

You should!  Poor poor Don!  He must be so harassed, looking after all those kids by himself!

[Brynne]

and as I recall i was the first one to marry Sim you off to Justin........

And thank you for that. But Justin is my sim and I've been hot for the guy before you even knew he existed.
It's okay, Bangel. It's all in fun.  Really.

[Bangelnuts]

Right now I am working on new story lines for my entire hood so It wil be eons befor  I get around t o doing any sort of Blog on them I am debating how I want to blog them and my Maty Sims who all reside in the same neighborhood and interact very well together.Kind of an I ronic side note given that Your sims never ever produce an ugly Baby. I have a Born in My game that is the Most gorgeous Toddler Ive ever Seen and she wasnt born to any of your sims and the closest she comes to even being related to them is her teenage sister Gvaudoin is engaged to Xander. her Parents are Nylisset and  Kiernan Tricou
 

[Lythdan]

Wow, bangel, that toddler is gorgeous! Then again, what would I know about nice toddlers...So the Tricou's have nice kids, huh?

[Bangelnuts]

Yes they do havenice looking kids but Lisette is exceptional

[rohina]

You know this means she will be a funky-looking adult. All my toddlers at the moment look like they got hit by an ugly stick, but their parents are nice-looking, so I am hoping they will improve as they age.

uhh her parentts arent raving beauties just average. and her exceptionallly pretty face now isnt going to make her ugly later,I have lots of gprgeous soms in my game and none of them have ever Produced an ugly child!Lisette is a orgeous toddler born to average Parents who produce beautiful girls her tteen sister is no slouch when it comes to looks.
  So I have to disagree that her pretty face is going to turn funky as an adult

[Brynne]

Most of my good looking toddlers have grown into good looking adults, but the exceptions to the rule have been atrocious.  They don't get much in the way of storylines...

Bangel, you'll appreciate this since you have Shellie: Shellie and her husband Tanner had a little girl, but she was "erased" from the game(not because she was ugly, noooo). She was hideous, and got even worse as she got older. Both parents are great looking, but their genetics didn't mix well in this particular case...

[Lythdan]

You can usually tell if a kid will get better growing up by looking at their parents back when they were young, especially if they take alot after one parent.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Can't do that if the parents were CAS sims, though.

The only addition so far to my Tricou family has been Kiernan's alien twins!  I changed his aspiration to Knowledge as I thought that if you get resurrected, you might as well make a fresh start!

[Brynne]

In my case of the ugly toddler, the father was a CAS sim, so he never was a toddler. Shellie was very pretty.

uh huh I have to agree Shellie is gorgeous so I can appreciate the utter shock a hideous kid from to gorgeous parents can bring on Ive had that happen when I was doin the prosperity challenge Kris and Steve Aming's child Justine  comes rushing to my mind from the second neighborhood I had to create when the first got corrupted. I* still keep reincarnating Kris and Steve for their Fabulous genetics that pass on to their kids. Justine was their 5th child and second daughter after the Cas teenage Bart and toddler Max . they had twins a boy and a girl Dusty and Nicole.Justine was a single birth sandwiched in between two sets of twins.Justine was ugly from the moment of birth on and unfortunately being a challenge kid there was not a thing I could do about her looks other than change her clothes and hair.
 Sadly transitionin toddler made her even uglier than she had been as a babyand so the story goes...Justine went from ugly to hideous to three bagger by the time she was an adult. something didnt mix right from Kris and Steve and the result makes me shudder even now. however  I have never had a Gorgeous toddler like Lisette ever turn from Gorgeous to Ugly or funky at later ages  as Rohina suggests will happen to Lisette. I suspect that Lisette ultimately will look some what Like Gvaudoin as she ages and Gvaudoin hardly qualifys as funky or ugly as a YA or as Teen the two ages I have seen her at.Gvaudoin is a mix of both her parents as is Lisette other than Hair color coming from Daddy in both girls cases the girls actually are a blend of both parents.I was Just surprised at how the genetics Blended for Lisette and made her such a gorgeous toddler
 

[Lythdan]

Hmm...I remember once I was suprised when this guy, (whose nose was pushed too far up his head) when he grew into an adult...it was the right size! I was so suprised, especially since his siblings never grew into their noses...

[ZephyrZodiac]

You might be interested to know that the daughter of my alien Zen Whyte and his wife Ianthe, Iona Blues (she was born before they married) was an ugly child.  Ianthe has a custom pale skin from AlleMeineSims and the elf face and huge ears, and isn't terribly attractive, especially with her mohican hair-style, but Zen is pretty good-looking.  Iona was an ugly child and an ugly teen, but she's now gone to college and suddenly she seemed to blossom.  

[Brynne]

It's hard to get a pretty child anyway. They all have the same stubby noses no matter who the parents are. 

[Bangelnuts]

I've seen ugly kids turn a corner and get better looking with age but Ive never seen a good looking sim turn ugly at transitioning or funky looking

[Brynne]

I've seen both. I've seen sims who disappointed me once they aged, so that's why I kept Justin as a teen for so long. I was afraid he'd never live up to my expectations. 

[Bangelnuts]

true  but in real lif most toddlers nd real small children have stubby noses and it isnt till closer to mid child hood that the nose begins to make radical changes for the final adult shape that wont occur until a persons mid teens

[Brynne]

Babies and toddlers do for breastfeeding purposes, I've heard.

Oh, I have. For some reason, this guy who was rather handsome as a teen had his nose mutate when he became an adult. It got a huge bump in the middle, and a lump at the end, and I have no idea why. He passed this onto his kids, of course. The alternitive was to have a pushed up nose, small eyes, high eyebrows and no upper lip...

[Bangelnuts]

thats no doubt true. however the somewhat stubby niose is the last to start growing on humans in large part because the nose doesnt stop growing until age 16 or later. which is why even 5 and 6 year olds still have the "toddler nose" to one degree or another and it looks like Maxis has carried that  fact to extremes with sim kids.

[RainbowTigress]

Alexander Goth.  He wasn't too bad looking when he was a child or even a teenager.  But when he became an adult, wow, I couldn't believe him.  It took a bit of playing around with different hair and stuff before he finally grew on me.

MaxoidTom said that facial blending in children and younger makes them look a lot alike, because adult features on children don't usually look attractive.  You can turn off facial blending before a baby is born to allow their true features to show, but they probably won't look as good as children until they reach teen or adult.  I tried this on one of my sims in Strangetown, an alien child, and he had rough edges to his features that I assume would have been smoothed by the blending.  That's why most babies look alike, and toddlers usually look alike for the most part even with different hairstyles.  Most of my sim children look a lot alike even if they aren't related except for some extreme features.  Like Brynne said, it's hard to get a child that looks good.  I just learn to live with them until they pass that stage.  Fortunately, it's only 7 days (unless you play aging off )
