Lots and lots of lips...

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?

I use a hack to make Bodyshop brighter, I take all my preview pics there since my Sims move around a lot in CAS.

And the lips look great. I wish I had more aliens so I could use them!

This was just what I was gonna suggest! I don't remember where it is, but there is a hack to make bodyshop significantly brighter, and I know a lot of people who use that.

Cool. I'll have to search for it. Thanks!

Do you recall where that hack came from? That could be useful. (Right now, I'm brightening the caps, but it'd probably be better your way.)

Thanks. Maybe you'll be blessed with more abductions to use them on.

Here you go my soul. I use the Medium one because the Max one looks ridiculous. Good luck!

(OT, but I love being able to edit my comments now. It's delicious.)

EDIT: I use the "XB" (extra bright) one. It comes in three settings: bright, Xtra bright, and XXB, which is the ridiculous one.

Thanks, Josh! ^_^ I'll remember to stick with XB.

Yeah, that's my personal journal. I upgraded to Paid on Friday, it was magical.
