Merman Sim - Rontu Atargaer
This is Rontu; He is named after the wolf in Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. In this book, the name is said to mean "Fox Eyes". Not a very fitting name for a merman I suppose, but I couldn't think up much that I liked better. Much has how the natives in Island have 'secret names' that only they know, I gave Rontu the 'secret name' "Atargaer", which means "Divine Sea" in Elvish. Mostly, this was because I could not decide between the two names, and was unsure if Atargaer was too much of an oddity. I'll let you guys be the judge of that.
Rontu is a newly created Sim, and thus has little to no backstory. He does have a mer-toddler in my game, though.
I am proud of Rontu's face sculpt, and how everything blended together; I think that he is my favorite Merman I have created thus far. (Sorry, Caludias!)
I'm still working on creating a Mermaid to keep Rontu company...thus far, I've made two, but niether of them seem quite right for him. I'm going to search for new meshes and try to get a nice female made soon. =D
For those who have never seen a merman sim, I have noticed people ask merman-makers how the sims walk in the game; so before anyone asks, I'll answer. He sort of floats. His fin bends and moves as he hovers above the ground, and the animation is fantastic; bravo to Marvine and Beosboxboy for their meshing skills.
You will need to download the following meshes for Rontu to appear properly in your game:
First and foremost, you have to download the wonderful Merman Mesh by Marvine and Beosboxboy from InSIMenator.net, which you can find here: http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=2793
Next, you'll need Kavar's fantastic Freeloader hair mesh: http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=2980
NOTE: For those two InSimenator downloads, you'll have to join; but it's free, and definately worth while. There's some great stuff on there.
Lastly, ears are thanks to Lois's Elf Ears Mesh, which you can download at http://louis.new21.net.

About Me
I've returned! I'm Kat, and currently most of my Sims activity is based at plumb-forgotten.tumblr.com.
Policy:
Feel free to use any of my stuff in any movies, photos, etc, just don't try and claim it as yours. Also don't edit my sims and claim their faces as yours either. They're my babies, and baby stealing is generally to be frowned upon in society.
I used to make retextures but then I started college so now all I have time to do is make new sims occasionally. I no longer make Sims 2 content and can't really help with any of the old stuff that's broken, that's all on an old long gone computer. :( Sorry!
