The Chernobyl Contest!

[J. M. Pescado]

OBJECTIVE:

Using two CAS sims that appear physically normal, breed them in "create-a-baby" CAS to create a warped, inhuman mutant! Post the images. Be sure to get both the parent sims and the resulting baby in the "create a baby" screen (don't commit the sim, otherwise we can't tell if you tweaked it)! Remember, the parents have to look normal, but the spawn has to be a mutant. Entries will be voted on by a panel of judges. Winner will receive a free month's subscription. Let's see some mutants!

OFFICIAL RULESET
1. Sims should appear physically normal from the perspective shown. They may be ugly, but they have to look like actual people.
2. All sims must be shown from the same angle. No trying to hide the faults of the parents that you then graphically display in the children through angle tricks.
3. Entries will be submitted in a CAS create-a-baby as per the above.
4. Resulting children should be depicted at the adult age. Sim-children ALWAYS look a little weird.

Question:  Is there a specific agegroup that the spawn must be in or are we free to select the most hideous?

[BeckerCheez]

Lovely, I could post pictures of the spawn in my neighborhood.

Question:  Is there a specific agegroup that the spawn must be in or are we free to select the most hideous?

The spawn should be adult, as looking kinda odd is very common pre-adult, and facial features are not fully formed yet.

[Avalikia]

Well, that makes things reasonably challenging then.  I'll see if I can come up with anything worth entering sometime in the morning when my brain's actually working.

[rohina]

Tricky. I have a couple of born-in game freaks, but they would seem to be ineligible. Check out Mungo from my avatar and the latest legacy chapter: http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/story_detail.php?asset_id=112176

[J. M. Pescado]

Meh. Those are merely ugly, not inhumanly deformed. It's not enough to produce ugly sims, they have to resemble monsters!

[rohina]

Oh, I see. Well the bar may be quite impossibly low, then. 

[kewian]

maybe it would help if you had a picture of what you would consider a monster as a guideline?

[Jelenedra]

Candie's Uglacy might be a good place to pull examples from.

I take it we're not allowed to use custom celebrity sims? As those ALWAYS make hideous fugaly children.

[ElfPuddle]

The rules as stated do leave that loophole open...it says nothing about binned sims....

[J. M. Pescado]

Any sim that you can make is legal, including binned or bodyshop sims. However, they must look normal, and the resulting spawn (You can click the pacifier to reroll as many as you want) must then come out as mutants....the more mutated, the better! Remember, merely ugly doesn't win: They have to look inhumanly ugly!

[rohina]

Hmmmm. I seem to recall some Happymoonbelly elven-type sims who looked okay but made unfortunate children...

[MissDoh]

And where do we post pictures of this?

[J. M. Pescado]

Hmmmm. I seem to recall some Happymoonbelly elven-type sims who looked okay but made unfortunate children...

I'm pretty sure those already don't qualify as normal-people.

[rohina]

See, this is where we need some more defined parameters. Define "normal-looking" for parents.

Also, minor technical question: how do I get the required photos from CAS? Yes, yes, point and laugh.

[J. M. Pescado]

You can't feed people who are freakishly deformed. Your score will be based on how good the parents look compared to how inhumanly ugly the resulting spawn is. If you feed in mutants and get mutants out, we won't be impressed. To get the required photos from CAS, simply hit printscreen while inside the CAS "make baby" section and then open up MSPAINT and paste. Then chop off irrelevant stuff that isn't important and save as jpg.

[Emma]

You ought to ask Hegeligan about sim-Emma's spawn Yuk is the only word to describe the poor little thing. I don't know if he is an adult yet in Heg's game though.

[J. M. Pescado]

I should add a Sim-Emma to my game sometime. And move you into that fine and excellent bathroomless house you had somewhere on Reggikkoland. Which one was it again?

[Emma]

All of them according to you

[rohina]

lol. I never really thought about it before, but I do tend to add bathrooms to Emma houses. 

[rohina]

Apologies for double-posting, but to get back on topic...

In order to clarify the rules, I submit the following hypothetical entry.



Question(1): does the dad qualify as "normal-looking"? Admittedly, he is fugly, but his face is one of the templates in CAS. I didn't move the sliders at all.
Question (2): does the kid qualify as a mutant, or is he still just ugly?

[kutto]

Wow, he looks like every person in my legacy.

[J. M. Pescado]

That's somewhat mutated, but considering your source input, we're unsurprised. Neither of those sims is exactly stunning. Ugly in, ugly out.

[Avalikia]

So are you saying that rohina's hypothetical entry would qualify for the contest, but she'd lose points because the difference in mutatedness/ugliness between the parents and the spawn isn't drastic enough?
