Download: Ripp's Sideburns

[strangetomato]

You know, I was going to give these a fancy title, but in the end, they really are just Ripp's sideburns. I made them for him, tailored to his face, and so they're going to have his name attached to them. It is my gift to my little "low-poly muse," as my SO likes to call him. Use these sideburns on all your unkempt Ripps, and any male sim that needs some low key manly detail in the sideburn region. Think of it as a transitional hair zone for those who can't be arsed to spend hours on Baroque facial hair configurations.

- An alpha edit of the Maxis sideburns, in the four original colours and textures
- Colours have been binned (grey is included with the black file)
- Works for teens, young adults, adults, and elders
- Files have been compressorized

Notes: I have tested these, and they seem to work just fine for me. If you run into problems, please let me know.

Nooka is a random sim spun out by CAS, and I thought she was cool, so I kept her.

Three out of four Ripps think Nooka is hot.

Very nice. Thank you very much, the facial hair out there is limited, either precisely groomed or abundance, so thank you for the in-between.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I agree with you about the lack of options, especially for Maxis-match and in-between styles. I made these because I wanted the option (like all of my cc), so it's nice to see that other people also like it.

These are awesome. And that's a lot of ripped Ripp. Poor blonde Ripp just wants to be different.

Thanks so much for uploading these!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you (and, umm... you're welcome? :P). Blond Ripp just likes to go against the grain.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! These look amazing! :)

(LOL at the blond Ripp's face!)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. ^_^

Yeah, that shrug animation is so cute.

[kingmike1224.livejournal.com]

i downloaded them...thanks for uploading

LOL 3 outta 4 ripps :p

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad you liked them!

Heehee.

[tiipiipii.livejournal.com]

Thanks! There never seems to be enough good facial hair!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. We need more facial hair variations. I'd love to see a less thick beard, but I have no idea how I'd do that.

Thank you. ^_^

[hathakleen.livejournal.com]

Awesome! It's so weird how different Ripp looks when his hair isn't brown.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. ^_^ I know. Isn't it odd?

[sofieamalien.livejournal.com]

Maybe Blond Ripp plays for the other team? ;)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought, also, but it seems they're all straight (I ran the randomizer on them).

[favoritebean.livejournal.com]

They look great! I must admit that a blond Ripp kind of terrifies me though.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^_^

Really? Why is that? Because blonds are supposedly dumber and he can't afford to be any dumber? :P

[favoritebean.livejournal.com]

Oh lol! No, that actually hadn't occurred to me. I think it was the fact that blond Ripp kind of looks like Spike from Buffy, and well, I just can't imagine Ripp as a vampire.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, haha! I like my silly interpretation, that he'd be terrifyingly stupid. :P

Yeah, I can't see Ripp as a vampire either. He has the sensual thing going for him, but that's about it. He's definitely more of a werewolf.

[juri-anne.livejournal.com]

These are fantastic! Thank you. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you... and you're welcome. ^_^

[alek94.livejournal.com]

For some reason the picture with all the Ripps looks pretty scary to me. Maybe it's the way they're looking...

And I hope Ripp will never bleach (is that the correct word? I looked it up in a dictionary :P) his hair in the story.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

They do seem sort of sinister, don't they?

Yeah, I can't see him doing that. I'd need to find a hair recolour with roots, if I was going to bother, and I can't see that happening.

[sixamsims.livejournal.com]

LOVE THESE!!! They will be going in game for sure. By the way I answered your email over at my LJ. If you ever want to be a part of our site feel free to let me know. I have been a long time admirer of your work and your story!! I tend not to approach people because I always expect them to say no (LOL)!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^_^

Maybe I'm just losing it, but I checked for your response on your journal and didn't see it. Either way, I hope you will consider inviting her, because I think her creations really suit the style of your site. I'm sure she'll say yes, if you ask.

As for me, now I'm feeling all awkward for admitting that I'm a little envious of people who get asked to contribute to LL30 Sims. I do quite like the site, and I would be honoured to be involved, but inviting myself to the party was never my intention. I'm not even much of a sim creator. Well, I do create them, but I don't often share them. I suppose I should upload more to this journal.

And thank you for the kind words about the story. That really does make my day. ^_^

ETA: Oh, duh... I see the post now. *smacks forehead* I swear I can be so stunned sometimes.

[dancinginsecret.livejournal.com]

Yep, you pretty much rock. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^_^

[an-nas.livejournal.com]

Awesome. *downloads*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks for downloading!

[emmelfish.livejournal.com]

Sooo downloading these, they're awesome. Well done, you've done a sterling job! :) And it's very interesting to see him raven, flaxen and ginger-haired. It's like a delicious Ripp Pick n' Mix. :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Sorry... what did you say? I was distracted by all your lovely Britishisms. ^_^

Also, I am in love with your icon. *swoon*

Thanks for downloading them.

[crunk-sims.livejournal.com]

I really appreciate the ways these fade - thank you!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think they look better over stubble than on a bare face, but they'll probably still look okay.

[remisims.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Wha.. *rubs eyes*
Wow, these look great! And so do the sideburns.. =P
Hehe, I really like these! Great job!

*goes off to download*

Aww, lol@ non-conformist blond Ripp.. XP

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Everythign is better with more Ripp, right? ;)

Thank you for downloading! ^_^

[remisims.livejournal.com]

I've used them on my Frances, I hope you don't mind. =]
I have a picture (and thanks) in this post.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, how cool! I get to see them in action. Thank you for that! (And of course I don't mind... I'm very excited to see people using them.)

They look good of Frances!

[owls-are-not.livejournal.com]

These are fantastic! I'm terribly lacking in good facial hair, so I'm definitely snagging these. Thank you for sharing! :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and you're welcome. ^_^ I hope you like them!

[aquilegia (from livejournal.com)]

I'm always up for more good Maxis match facial hair! Thank you!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Me too. I wish there was more of it.

Thanks for downloading! ^_^

[rayesesshyfan.livejournal.com]

Ohhh yes. Can never have enough of facial hair. These are so rough looking and sexy~

Thanks so much for making these and sharing them :D

I'll grab these, thank you!

[nonikk63.livejournal.com]

Your Ripp is crushing handsome, but I think these will look very nice on others too.
