No matter how hard I fought it, I some how got sucked into the Nicki Minaj bandwagon. I've been wanting to make this sim for a while but I kept putting it off. But, when I stumbled upon this Cool Sims hair, I immediately thought of Nicki Minaj and fired up TS3. Nicki is a very, very, VERY hard person to sim. Not only his her face hard to sculpt, but there's very little head on shots of her without her hair in the way. Needless to say my sim isn't perfect, but it's close enough.

Traits:
ambitious
charismatic
flirty
hotheaded
star quality*
Zodiac:*
Sagittarius
Favorites
cheese steak
pink
hip-hop*

The most prominent feature of this sim is her body shape. Nicki Minaj has a very...erm...distinct body, complete with wide hips and huge boobs (HUGE). So, I recreated that as much as possible using various sliders.
Pink Friday
Originally I wanted to make a dress for Nicki, but it required a really fancy custom mesh. I was able to make it, but the dress was a combination of two meshes and it kept blowing up in game. After hours of head-to-desk action, I gave up on the project.

I still wanted to make something special for this upload, so instead I made a custom lipstick. It's called Pink Friday named after her new album and her MAC Lipstick released under the same name. Be sure to grab this if you install the sim because it's not included in the Nicki_Minaj.rar file.
Hacks Used:
-Some sort of slider hack. I use aWT's hack found here.
-Jonha's Sliders
-Delphy's Breast Sliders
-Facial Sliders by Ahmad (bella3lek4)
-Chin-to-Neck Slider by Heriet
-Arm Sliders by pcfreak147
**Nicki's face and body were altered extensively with custom sliders, without these sliders installed, the sim will *snap* out of shape whenever you try to alter her.
This sim is built with Late Night installed and has traits from that EP. However, only Base Game (patch 1.12 or higher) is actually needed. All LN traits will simply be replaced by a base game one.

There are two versions of the sim uploaded. The "Nicki_Minaj.rar" is Nicki packaged with custom hair and skintone.
The "Nicki_MinajBASIC.rar" is Nicki packaged with EA hair and default skintone. It's recommended that you download this version if you do not plan to use/install the hair and skin. There are known issues with installing a sim without the required hair and/or skin.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the sim to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sim file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game, enter Create-a-Sim, and save a sim to the sim bin to create this folder, rather than doing so manually. After that you can close the game and put the .sim file in SavedSims
4. Once the .sim file is in SavedSims, you can load the game, and look for your sim in the premade sims bin in Create-a-Sim.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
