That is awesome! Share!

*Ivy sneezes*

I must've caught Blue's cold...she's always coughing you know...

Why thank you 

So glad you like them!

BlueSoup's constant coughing and sneezing comes from the fact that a head so round and fat has the ability to contain a great deal of snot, and she never has it cleaned out. There must be a pound or two of snot in there.

[rohina]

Ew. Now I have a mental picture of Pescado measuring snot in some kind of olde-fashioned scale-type device.

[Ivy]

Ewwwww...and double ewwwww...I think I'd much rather have Blue's cold than JM's snot measuring bucket anyday...

*can't help but giggle anyway at the thought of JM doing that* "No, that's snot enough I'm telling you, you MUST produce more!"  JM do you say that to all your simmies?

Although, I have no desire to make a mutant hood, that is cool makeup. I wouldn't mind me some of that either.

*sighs* I just hope bills this paycheck are nice and light so I can afford fixing my pc.

I especially hope the guy at the mabob can save my sims backups.

As for textures, just links to good, clear examples of what you would want is a good start.

Right now all I can think of is making the leather armor and the Vault 13 suit from Fallout.

[Ivy]

Thanks Jelenedra Glad you guys are getting a kick out of it

I hope you get your computer fixed quick!


Ivy (who feels another sneeze coming on...)

[Jelenedra]

Oh and thanks for pointing out Enayla's new set of pixie skins. I wuv them. Shame I'll download them and probably never use them...

And I just look at the whole computer fiasco as an excuse to start legacy challenges. I just don't want to lose all my precious, precious skintones, eyecolors, and hair styles that are all binned and coded. THAT will make me a saddykins.

[ElfPuddle]

Ivy, me too? please! As soon as I can play for more than five minutes without crashing, I'm on this challenge in my slow little way.

*hugs Jelenedra*

[Jelenedra]

Although I AM upset I lost my Bachelorette Challenege Story. I had FINALLY finished writing it.... Over 200 pictures... and the perfect setup for the Asylum Challenge. Three of the Singles got into a fight with the lonely sim and started gang fighting her and they promptly fell into aspiration failure.... *sighs*

Anyways.

Cannot wait for my pc... I miss Photoshop.

Oh yeah, found this for those of you who don't want to wait for me:

The creator also has a nifty catsuits for dudes and a nifty trans am that you could squint your eyes and pretend is either Mad Max's or the Punisher's.

*achoo!*
Oh bless me! It must be that darned cold...

I'm glad you like!

Aren't you not allowed to change the uniforms or hairs of sims until much later, so they'll be stuck in their mops and afros and ugly Maxis age-up outfits for a very long time?

[GayJohnScarritt]

At least for the clothes part, is there an easy way for the Founder to bring different clothes home from the University?  I know with just the Univ EP, when i had my Founder bring a dresser home, clothes didn't follow, but i've yet to retry with OFB/NL.

[GayJohnScarritt]

   Sorry for not including this in the other post, but i just remembered it (again).  Why should 'change appearance' be forbidden?   As far as i know, sims don't roll up wants to change their appearance, unless a sim's fun mood is raised if they cheer if they like their new appearance (tho i've heard the cheering/shrugging is purely random).

[J. M. Pescado]

I suggest you make the challenge out of black people, because not-black-people look very strange in an afro.

There's not much point to bringing clothes home from uni (even if you could), as they can't buy or use a wardrobe until the show biz restriction is lifted.  Get used to seeing them in their sleepwear if you go for Natural Science (snapdragons!) before medical.

I've finished my first attempt at this, failed it, but went through to the end anyway.  On my second attempt, I notice that my sims are spending a lot of time in their pyjamas.  Founder unlocked Natural Science (and got her gold flowermaking badge before she graduated), and made lots of snapdragons before she died.  I haven't unlocked medical yet, otherwise they could take a shower and spin into daywear after their shower.  The snapdragons mean that their hygiene never drops low enough to autonomously take a sponge bath.  The only time they spin out of their sleepwear is to change for work, school, or for exercise/meditation.

EDIT: Typing with a psycho cat between you and the screen is fun

[rohina]

If you had CR installed, they would be in their undies all the time. Oh, no they wouldn't, since the shineyness has increased.

I am custom-making mutant townies for my neighbourhood, so they can have makeup from the beginning.

Doesn't Pescado's clothing tool allow you to do that?

[rohina]

I think the clothing tool might be a grey area with regard to the rule about using hacks that might give you an advantage.

[Jelenedra]

I feel that making your simmies more destitute looking isn't against the rules. I think that any appearance changes that make your sim fugly is okay. Like dirt makeup and messy hair.

[rohina]

As long as they aren't perverse enough to enjoy it. 

[Pinstar]

Anything that lets you get around the fugly hair styles and awful clothing is an unfair advantage. Part of the pain of the Show Business restriction is having to look at fugly sims.

[rohina]

Fugly is not so much the issue, it's that they will all have the SAME fugly hair.

[Avalikia]

Well, is it against the rules to make your sims fuglier?

[Kyna]

So you are confirming that giving your founder an unbinned downloaded hair is an 'unfair advantage'?

I've been selecting a random Maxis (non-hat) hair upon transition to childhood, using a random number generator.  14 female hairs, 10 male hairs, if you exclude the hat hairs.  I'm still getting fugly hair on most of my sims.  Personally I don't mind the male default hair, to me it looks neat and reasonably well-kept, but I've been randomising for the males too.  If I roll up the pixie hair (that I can't stand) for a female then she's stuck with it, but not EVERY female is stuck with it.  In fact the current generation's spouse has that hair ... but she was a Criminal Mastermind, so my heir married her anyway in spite of her lack of style.

For me the issue is the same as Rohina: it's that they will all have the SAME fugly hair.
