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?

*enjoys thoroughly*

As for taking pics in CAS, here's a little advice. When I was doing all my Maxis makeovers, if I was taking shots of a Sim while the game was unpaused, I took several shots of the Sim, to make sure that I had gotten at least one good shot. I'd recommend taking a few pics for each one you want to have a photo of.

Thanks. That seemed like the only way to do it, but the obsessive part of my brain wants it to be exact and I'm sure I've seen others who have done it.

I hope to share these fairly soon. I'm not going to wander off and forget like I so often do. :P

I've been tinkering around in BodyShop, pretty much for the first time, a lot lately. That looks like a good thing to do, if you can get that lighting mod others have mentioned.

And I've been making room in my makeup folder just for these!

Okay, not really. I've just been meaning to get rid of plenty of lipsticks, since step 4 in CAS is always a hassle when it comes to loading. Still, these will be a great addition; I can tell already.
