This pretty much guarantees that I will someday have to make a space station neighborhood, so I can drop a few tentacle monsters in it. (Now I just need to improve my recoloring skills enough to make a suitable tentacle monster.)

Haha, it's so cute! I've never seen something quite like this and it made my day.

He's awesome. I've got him on a lot of his own and he wants friends, and keeps wanting to hug Sims-passerby, but they don't want his hugs. LOL

Just a great job. He's fun to watch. Now we need Mrs. Woot and all the little Woots. (Hint Hint) Lord Woot is LONELY....

If you want to see some real chaos, have him jump up and down on a couch some time.

My wife has mentioning me doing a female Woot several times, but I've been dodging the topic because sorting out the bone assignments on another skeleton altogether is not a notion I relish. Still, I'll give it some thought after my current projects...

-Akabarl-

p.s. And in case you are curious, projects you are most likely to see pop up before that point include:
* A D&D style Ioun Stone spinning around the head (technically its working, but I want to refine its look before uploading Friday or Saturday).
* Dogfolk feet for females (was requested by PM).
* An attempt to animate Woot's eyeball so he blinks/glances around rather then have the rigid stare as current.
* Snoopy's friend woodstock as an accessory fluttering overhead.
* The Kool-Aid Man (because a co-worker dared me to try and do it).

Other goofy ideas by PM are of course welcome...

Wow, that's some original simming! One of the more adventurous creations I've ever seen! Well done.

He turns human from the head down when dressed for sleep, exercise, work (some) and when bathing. That doesn't work right at all. It'd be great if he can just stay BEM all the time.

I have him in a criminal career.

I love it that he stays a BEM for swimming. Looks awesome.

I took a screenshot of him being abducted (heh heh) that is absolutely fantastic. He had an alien baby with alien skintone (blue in my game) and it's really cute to see him taking care of his son Grdyxyzki (Zacki for short.)

I'll add trying shower-proof him to my agenda for when I try to animate his eyeball. Its going to involve work on the package anyway so I can try and get it all sorted out at once.

As far as the pajamas, the tentacle body should be configured for that use already. You just have to plan outfit for that (and every other outfit type) at a convinient dresser, choosing the tentacles each time.

You really have to post or mail me a couple of those shots. I've never seen a normal sim abducted and with alien child, let alone Woot.

It's easy enough to make his clothing for the other categories -- showerproof will be a bit more work. Just go recolor his outfit in bodyshop - and checkmark any missing categories before you import it to the game.

Very cute idea!

Silky-M, your screenshots are hilarious. Baby Woot! So cute.

Akabari, thank you again... I'm really enjoying my Lord Woot. He lives with a couple of Cthulhuians , but he totally outshines them. Watching him dance is my favorite. :lovestruc

Amusing thing happened to me last night: I wanted to test out some aspects of Woot, so I made a new Sim of him in a fresh lot and was proceeding. After a little while the "welcome wagon" visitor event occurred. By some statistical anomoly (its a normal shipped neighborhood so I wouldn't expect only my creations to show up), the three Sims that arrived were:
1) Another Woot (the original one used for the screenshots in my project).
2) Fionna Ogre from the household I was testing my Shrek Ears in.
3) The Social Worker from "Home of the Hidden " (HotH is a project I put on the Exchange over two years ago which is a nice lot with five normally npc Sims living on it as roommates: Grim Reaper, Social Bunny, Sim Shrink, Social Worker, and Repo Man).

It was sort of creepy.

It started up again like a year ago with the characters having moved from playing in a chat room to playing in a World of Warcraft clone.
