Sims 3: Fun with default replacements

[strangetomato]

I think I've found an eye replacement that really speaks to me: this one by Rockermonkey at MATY. I've been playing around with different replacements (and anything is better than the completely flat default eyes), but these might stick around for a while. Don't you love how it's just one texture now and you can recolour it yourself in-game, to the exact hue you want? It's brilliant. Maybe even better than picking shoes to go with an outfit. You have no idea how many totally useable cc outfits I've passed on because of shoe choice. I'm serious about shoes.

Cute old geezer, isn't he?
 

I've also found these default replacements for the facial hair from Kitty Klan (shown above), which was something that was desperately needed. The default facial hair options were simply dreadful. It looked like iron filings glued to the sim's face. Granted, some guys actually have that, but it was a bit heavy-handed for what is essentially a cartoon face, don't you think?

As a sidenote, I'm still playing around with cc creation and some other things, but I'm working way too much these days. I have no idea when I'll have them ready to share. I hope everyone is having a nice summer!

No problem! It was done by the fabulous Mao, I found it on her site.

Yes, I am. I expected to be completely obsessed with it, like I was then TS2 came out- but I'm not. I'm not interested at all. :\

I know! It sucks that you've been working so much! But at least you're making money, right?

YESSS. Tank is my type. I seem to have acquired a thing for military/ex military hunky muscular men with short tempers. (See: Tank Grunt, Elliot Stabler, Seeley Booth.)

That's disapointing. I wonder if EPs will make it better. We'll just have to stay obsessed with Sims 2, I guess. It does seem like many people are hanging on, anyway, which is nice to see.

I'm working SO MUCH. Day and night. Thankfully, my day job breaks for the weekend, but not so my part-time job. It's super busy in the summer. At least it's fairly entertaining most of the time. (And yes, money is good... and needed.)

Hmmm. I'm not sure which would be a worse choice for an rl man, Ripp or Tank? I've had experiences with guys who were something like both of them, and neither ended very well. That's why I went with Buck. ;) (Well, a skinny version, anyway.)

*nods* I just don't know if it counts as being obsessed when we don't even play anymore. :P

Well, at least it won't be so busy after the summer rush? You must be so tired. :(

I would ever date Ripp, firstly. Have you met me? I'm way too serious and practical for that kind of freshness. He would only hurt me in the end.

But dating Tank would be so painful because you know he's so closed off and he doesn't open up to anyone and getting him to talk about anything is impossible so I would walk away as well.

I think I'd end up with someone like Buck in the end as well. I would like having someone down to earth and sensible, like me.
