Prosperity Challenge: James Fisher is awesome.

[strangetomato]

I've been playing with the prosperity neighbourhood a little bit, and I just had to share one of my new favourite sims with you.

James Fisher is a nerd, and he's awesomely awesome!






Don't you just love him to bits? I certainly do! I like that he randomly transitioned into that sharp blue plaid shirt too. It really goes with his whole look. He's a family sim.

Any thoughts on Maxis lineage? Hint: he is the product of three different Maxis sims (his mother is the product of two, and the family is a direct clone), but he looks mostly like just one of them.



I still have to reply to everyone's comments on the last couple of Strangetown chapters, so my apologies about the delay. It's been pretty busy and I also just haven't been up to it. I've been picking away at them, and I will do more after work.

He's really cute! Huggable, I think.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Definitely huggable. Maybe it's the big round belly (and chubby cheeks).

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

Hmm....he's definitely cute, but as for who he's related to.....I'm not sure. Are we just talking Strangetown here? I think you mentioned you're using some from the other neighborhoods, but if could narrow it down to Strangetown, that would be kinda helpful.

(I'll just throw out a guess now, anyway. Is there anyone from the Nigmos family involved?)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

No, no Nigmos here. (Though she is present in this 'hood somewhere.)

I have explained further in a comment below... and there is one Pleasantview sim involved.

[sea-serpent.livejournal.com]

Aww, he's adorable!

Hmm, is he related to Buck? The lips are very similar, not to mention the blond hair.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right, Buck has lips like that too, doesn't he?

I have begun to realize that all male sim lips are very similar, though. The game makes them extremely thin, no matter what. I made Mr. Doe's lips bigger to match my source material, and Jayne ended up with extremely large lips (to the point of having freakish lines in them at times - since it must push the limits of the game in some way).

I see that as a flaw in the way the game does genetics. I definitely have male relatives that have the exact same full lips that I do. Not all men have thin lips.

I think he looks like Jill Smith. Actually now I'm imagining a Buck/Jill flavor, lol. I'm probably way off, though. I'm not good at guessing these things. He is cute, though. Love the plaid shirt and the glasses. ;)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. I LOVE plaid and glasses, so maybe that's why I could just eat him up. ;) (I HEART nerds.)

It's not Jill or Buck, but I can see where you got that.

(On a related note, I was "checking out" the genetics of potential Jill/Buck babies in CAS, and aside from the nose and eyes, Jill and Buck have almost the EXACT same face! No joke. It was a little weird.)

He reminds me a lot of Buck Grunt, especially through the eyes.

In my defunct Strangetown I had one kid grow up to be the perfect nerd. he had the look, he was shy, I gave him the glasses, the whole nine yards. He was the best.

James looks like a great kid. Hope you have some fun with him.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nerds are great. I love giving sims a distinct style like that, and so few of the premade sims come styled like that.

Another great feature of that sim randomizer was how it dictated that many sims would be "fat". I like the forced variety. I have been pondering the inclusion of more overweight sims in Strangetown too, but the The Cove is naturally more diverse.

Buck isn't related to this sim, but he did get represented in this 'hood somewhere.

I see Johnny Smith in there, I think, but I'm just using his thin lips and long chin for that basis. And Ripp.

[sinderellah.livejournal.com]

I'll take a guess and if it's direct Strangetown residents... I'll guess Ripp/Johnny/Ophelia.

I definitely think it's a Grunt nose!

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

:D I was going to guess that, but I haven't found the Ophelia in him yet.

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

He is very cute :)

Jill Smith is who I'm seeing, it's the nose. I don't have anything else!

Are there any Pleasantview characters or is it just Strangetown?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nope, not Jill.

There is one Pleasantview sim involved, though.

He is cute, isn't he?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Just a comment to respond to all of you (I just got home)... The colouring of the hair, eyes, and skin will not help you, as that has been randomized.

You are right about Johnny Smith. His clone was his grandfather (that's him on the couch back there, and you may notice that he isn't green in this 'hood). I think that there is a good chance that it may be Johnny's chin, but the lips might not be. I'll have to double check the father's lips to be sure. Those do look like Johnny's lips though... so that might be right.

James' grandmother was also from Strangetown, and is normally a female (I did change the sex of one cloned sim), but hasn't been guessed yet.

His father is one of the two Pleasantview clones in this 'hood, and that is who James looks the most like. I agree that the nose is a little Gruntish, but no Grunts were used in the creation of this sim. *wink*

[80sfiend.livejournal.com]

I'm getting a Daniel Pleasant/either twin daughter vibe from him.

He's really really cute! :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nope, not a Pleasant.

I think he's cute. :)

[ndainye.livejournal.com]

I think the PV sim might be a Broke, I'm thinking either Brandi or Beau I'm thinking eye shape is Beau's.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It isn't a Broke, but that was a good guess.

The actual father is someone who I consider to have the best genes in Pleasantview (that may be a good clue for some of you).

[inclinedplane.livejournal.com]

My first thought was Lyla (I think that's her name, I forget) Broke, however I'm not quite so sure anymore. Either way, I really like him and look forward to finding out more about him!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I think you mean Brandi, right? No, it's not her, but that's a good guess too.

Thanks. I think that the prosperity challenge will be a lot of fun.

[katsuko]

Hmmmm... you've already confirmed Morty Goth (or whichever name he has in this hood) as the father, and you mentioned that three sims were involved in the making of this sim so I'm guessing Mum is second generation with Johnny as her father.

Looking at just the face and knowing how teen noses tend to change for adults, would it be terrible to venture a guess that the other grandparent is either a Specter or a Subject? there's just something in those facial features (and not colouring) that seems to have that vibe to me....

[samantha46465.livejournal.com]

Nervous has that kind of nose, so it's probably him.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Ahh, all the guessing has me confused. So I'm not even going to bother (since it's only a Strangetown female that's still out there).

Wait. Erin Singles/Beaker? That would help maintain the blonde hair. . .eh, what the hell do I know except. . .

He's cute as hell and I can see the Mortimer in him. Mortimer is a fine specimen. I've always wondered what kind of alien child he'd make.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, your throwaway guess is... CORRECT! When you're good, you're good. It is Erin, though I did change the hair colour and things. I think she ended up staying blond, though.

I agree. Mortimer is the man. I love his look. Maybe I will work on getting his alter ego abducted in this challenge. I'd like to see a number of them get abducted, but I have to do it the hard way. I assume that those hacked telescopes are out of the question for something like this challenge.
