Lots and lots of lips...

[strangetomato]

So... I made a lot of lips. A whole lot. Do you think I got carried away?

Yeah, that's right. I made eighteen of them. There are six greens, six purples, three blues, one gold, one red, and one hot pink. I made these thumbnails too. I want to take some nice screenshots to include with the download post and do it up all nice, but other than that, they're ready to go.

One question: does anyone know how people take nice CAS shots where all the lips are the same, all the eyes are opened, etc.? My sims move around too much in CAS and Bodyshop is too dark and small for good preview pics. How do people do it?

What I do to get (relatively) similar shots in CAS is to put the lipstick/clothing/whatever on them, wait until they finish dancing around and peering down at themselves and settle back into the 'idle' pose, and then hit the screencap button several times per thing. You should get at least one per item that is idle, eyes open and everything. It's certainly a pain, but it works alright for me.

Heheh. That is a bit of a pain. I was trying to do that for the thumbnails, but I got frustrated and went back to Bodyshop. I wish I wasn't so obsessed with having them exact. It's the part of my brain that straightens your picture frames on the wall when you leave the room. :P

Maybe I'll give it another shot, though. Or look for that lighting mod for Bodyshop. The pics would still be small, though.
