Can I ask where you found the glasses? I've been looking for some just like that!

Almost every time I start the game, I open CAS and generate a few Sims there so as to randomise any Sims who are generated in the play session that i just starting. Rather often however, one of the generated Sims so catches my eye that I just have to save them to my game. Electra is one such. She generated two nights ago when I was "rolling the pacifier". As soon as I saw her, I knew I was in the presence of somebody special. I just had to have her in my game. As with almost all the CAS Sims that make it into my game, I tweaked her face slightly to make her truly unique. I've given Electra a little, very subtle Maxis make up. She would prefer you not to notice it.

Her outfit is just as she generated, and is 100% Maxis. The colour matching is so good I thought it must be a full body outfit. But no! The mini skirt and the top are well matched separates. The skirt is short enough that she won't feel out of place amongst other Veronavillians. But it long enough to suggest a wearer whose best qualities are cerebral. Like Andrew's school shorts, as he describes them: "Short enough to be sexy, but long enough to be respectable." Her hair with the short wedding vale is also Maxis. It's from the Celebration! stuff pack, which I've always had because it's included in Double Deluxe. The complete outfit (including the veil) looks like something that a really thoughtful, but somewhat unconventional, woman might choose to wear to her wedding.

Like all my CAS Sims, I've given Electra a full set of clothes, which I've tried to match to her perceived personality. For her formal wear I've given her this CC outfit by Bruno:


If she'd like something a little more conventional, she might wear this for her wedding. Not all that conventional though -- although it comes as a full body outfit for us Simmers, it's not actually a dress. It's a top with a long skirt. And of course it isn't pure white!


This is how she looked when she actually arrived in the game, in downtown Veronaville. Her name? Well there was a Morrisons supermarket receipt lying on the table when I made her, hence her surname. (It's actually the same Morrisons' supermarket where, just over ten years ago, I bought a heavily discounted copy of The Sims 2 Double Deluxe. I had no idea then how significant they'd become in my life!!) I was originally going to call her Flora after Flora plant-based butter (the main item on that Morrisons' receipt) but she looked so distinguished that I felt I had to think of a more distinguished name for her.

At the moment she's in the downtown changing hut with a friend. I was going to make her a townie, but I may find a little house for her instead. Even if I do make her a townie, I'm sure she'll become playable one day. She's made a really big impression on me.

Sisters

Further to my last post, Electra hasn't become a townie. She has got together with her friend Kaye Maclean and bought 205 Custer Boulevard in downtown Veronaville. Here they are just arrived to move in:


With her barely there CC shorts by OpenHouseJack, Kaye (Popularity, Cancer) is far more typical of Sims in my game than restrained and thoughtful Electra (Knowledge, Saggitarius).

And this is the house that they've bought:

It really isn't a small house, but it's totally dwarfed by those skyscraper office blocks. I'm not sure how happy I'd be living with those towering above me. (How would other people feel about living here?)

Whatever else it is, downtown Veronaville is certainly a centre of LGBT culture. I wonder if Electra and Kaye might end up marrying each other.

The discussion about genetics recently made me pick up on this, I recovered a neighbourhood I thought I'd lost and I thought I'd share this sim because I love her face structure. In this hood I created starter sims according to a single trait - hers was education (career) so her name is Alma Mater, she is a teacher and her personality is 7/6/5/2/5 (Neat, quite outgoing, average activity, very serious, balanced niceness). It's also I think the first hood I used unbalanced sliders so there is asymmetry in a lot of the faces, which I *LOVE*.

I think she must be a no-nonsense straightforward kind of character, but she's not a complete dragon - she needs some compassion to deal with kids all day!

Interestingly I caught her when she had just woken up and was getting ready for work; you can see the difference make up and glasses make to her face!

I'm proud to introduce Felicity Snob, a townie who married into a rich family. She is the first sim I have who was dressed by my little grand daughter. I think she did rather well; the hairband and eye makeup co-ordinate with the trousers, and she clearly understands colour theory with the top she chose. The lipstick though... shows her creativity, shall we say?





She started off by saying she wanted the sims to have a 'green face'... I didn't show her the facemask section!
Really cool though, far more colourful and stylish than I can achieve!

She's Sofía Russo, new bachelorette in town :D

here one of my sims





Another sim I made only in different outfits.

Continuing to showcase my Simland's Next Top Model photoshoots , here are the high fashion cover shoots for Vogue! (All poses are randomized.)

...and get to work in Bodyshop. Le download.

My sim tried on a beautiful gown in the local shop.

Elissa Beauchesne

Home wrecker.
Because of her, Preston and Aria Ryllis' marriage ended.
She'll become playable when Preston finds a home.
For now, he's staying with his brother, where he sleeps on a sofa.

I made a new sim for my new hood, based on a randomly generated face and with a randomly generated name.
She's hilarious, and she hates everything!



Her name is Karen!

LOL, she needs a new hairstyle.

She does, but it was similar to what the random face I based her on had, so I stuck with it!

More Karen being Karen:

I have a sim who's a fashion model and I wanted to play with green screen for the first time so I made a Dior ad . At first I wanted to focus on jewelry cause I have a lot of extravagant jewelry from Nika Onishko I never used or maybe make an ad for makeup, but it didn't work how I expected. So yeah, I'll act like it's both makeup and jewelry in question. The hardest thing about this pic was choosing a background. I was looking for interiors of various builds, even for Sims 4 since I would blur the background anyway. I wanted an luxurious hotel vibe and finally found a photo by the talented Candy Darlings. Almost all of the angles were taken from the above and didn't fit the photo, even on this one, so I had to crop it which made the photo lose its quality. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied and it was fun. I'll take more of these kind of photos in the future .

Ursula wasn't meant to make it into my game at all, but I clicked on Accept Family instead of Cancel Family! Considering I did nothing at all with her face when I had her in CAS, IMAO she's really not that bad looking. What do you think?

Ursula Causley in close-up If she looks a bit glum, that's because I usually give my Sims a bit of smile before they leave CAS. I suppose it's unreasonable to expect everyone to be happy all the time!


Ursula Causley (facing us) with her Welcome Wagon guests -- Left to Right: Stephen Tinker, Gilbert Jacquet and Miriam Hunter.

I expect Ursula, a Romance Sim to become a townie, but in my game townies are very much part of the community. I see no reason why she shouldn't fit in. But I do hope she occasionally finds something that makes her smile.

I think she's lovely @AndrewGloria ! And making friends already.

Nah, she doesn't look glum. She looks soulful.

What shorts are those she's wearing?

4 whole months with no female Sim rep?


Maikana MacAvoy. She's the daughter of my "Travecy" founder Aylatani (original face) and AL townie Phil Jitmakusol.


Tallula (Tallie) Nightinwolf, uncharacteristically happy. She's Maikana's niece, but she almost looks more like her aunt than like her mother.


Tallie's graddaughters, T'anamika and Nerniya.
