Sims 3: Failed Franny

[strangetomato]

Oh, well. Looks like you win this time, Mr. Worthington. Next time, though, next time...




I tried, folks. I really tried.

(Well, maybe not as hard as I could have tried. I got bored and gave up. His nose was impossible.)

Yeah, the original is still the best.

The eyes on FranceSim3 look more shocked than sad/hangdog. And those eyes are (at least to me) what makes Frances Frances.

(and that hair reminds me of the episode of "Seinfeld" where Jerry gets the bad haircut that makes him look like an eight-year-old)

Well, he IS actually making a schocked/appalled face in this picture (I gave him the coward trait), so maybe that's what you're seeing there. It's an exaggerated expression.

This is a more straight-up version:



Like I said, though... I gave up before really attempting to fine-tune him. I was working on this over lunch.

I would argue that his nose is his most defining feature, and the fact that it's not even remotely doable makes it very difficult to replicate him. I may try to see if adding one of those mods that changes the slider contraints would help matters.

It's amazing how poor the selection for hair is in this game. I guess maybe they want to sell us the "good stuff" later in the Sims 3 Store.

I wondered it he was deliberately making big eyes (in the first pic).

Honestly, if I didn't know your affinity for Frances, I'd have a hard time guessing who that sim was supposed to represent. To me that's a sims3 "thing". All the sims really do look a bit alike. Or rather, you have to WORK to find something to tell them apart (there are very few who stand out--like that albino family, they're a sims 3 Ottomas clan from what I can tell).

*scowls* That sims store thing still really rubs me the wrong way. Yeah, you can get the stuff without paying but it's just so off putting. But that's the nature of the beast (I think that's why I've never gotten into WoW and stuff like that, seems you get nickel and dimed to death with them).
