Sims 3: More pics

[strangetomato]

I have some more Sims 3 pics to share. I've been having a good time just playing around with it so far and trying to see how it all works. I went back into CAS again to try creating some more sims, and ended up creating a neighbour for my simself. So this post will be pretty wankery and full of my simself. You've been warned.








Here she is in all her glory. Not exactly a perfect replica (the nose was impossible to get right), but there's a bit of a likeness there. The nasolabial folds are cranked up to max, just like in real life.

I was getting bored of her affairs with married sims in Sunset Valley, so I made a single and very available neighbour for her.




So she drops by to make introductions.




Strange: Hey, you look kinda familiar...

Guy: Well, I think I'm based on someone you know from somewhere else.

Strange: Yeah, maybe. You didn't turn out that well, but you're alright.




Strange: So... uhh... what's with the baby? I thought you were supposed to be single.

Guy: Oh this?




Guy: It just appeared on my lawn when I came home from a trip downtown.




The poor thing basically had a basket dropped on his doorstep! :P

The kid's name is Abram too. How Biblical.




So Strange hangs out with the larva Abram and this totally unfamiliar guy, while he cooks some mac and cheese.




He's pretty flirty. Strange isn't really going for the pick up line that references dipping his chip in her salsa. That's a bit too bold (and spicy!) for her just yet.




She does engage in some light flirting, however. It goes pretty well.




Yet somehow, she still gets rejected for a kiss.

C'mon! She's a great kisser! It's one of her TRAITS, you moron!

Give him time, I'm sure he'll come around (and spawn some more larval babies).




He doesn't even own a crib for the baby! I hope he buys one before her next visit. I have doubts about his ability to care for that kid on his own, but we'll see how he makes out.

I love your simself! I don't know if I'll ever make one for myself. My 11 year old sister wanted me to, but I was like: "NO I WANT TO MAKE THIS BOY INSTEAD." and then she was like: "OMG I love playing boy characters in video games!" and I was like: *high five* "Although I'm not really BEING him so much as I messing with his life." and it was good.

I don't actually mind the babies. I think the cocoon blankets are kind of dumb, but whatever.

I really hate this 'EVERYONE YOU LOVE CAN MOVE OUT WHENEVER THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE' thing though. What if your active Sim is romancing their SOULMATE and they just... DISAPPEAR FOREVER?! D:

You should make one! Everyone (with ovaries) does it.

Really? They scare the shit out of me. In fact, the whole look of the sims is a bit too far into the uncanny valley for me. I don't hate them like some people, but they're sitting on a line there for me where they look both cartoony and also too much like real people.

What? You mean they can move out of town? That's sad. I used to feel bad when the animals in Animal Crossing left town, so that makes me kinda sad.

I did in TS2, but never played her. I might if I ever get TS3 for myself, but I think I'll let it go for now.

I kind of dig the way the Sims look. It's not exactly how I would like them to appear. I think it would have been kind of awesome if they had pushed towards a disney-esque/cartoonier look with even more emphasis on the eyes. Also, my biggest issue is that a lot of the lips look unfortunate.

The baby in this picture looks kind of creepy, yeah.

But he's cute in this one.

I believe so. I think it's a possibility with any family besides the active one. And I'm still not sure if Story Progression is borked or not. I kind of dig the progression, but not enough to really love the moving out/random babies from the sky/aging that doesn't sync up with the sims you are playing.

Uh, I'm pretty sure your boy there is telling me to do things...evil things.

Lol, Bannon? It's because he's so dreamy isn't it? XD

He frightens me, yet I would follow him into battle.

*wipes tear from eye* I know exactly what you mean. XD
