Strangetown extras: Preview of "next generation" LFT student

[strangetomato]

It might be a while before another Strangetown chapter surfaces, but I am working on it, just so you know. I'm thinking of doing a shorter "extra" chapter 23.5, but even that might not show up before the weekend. It's a busy time for me, and we have family coming to stay with us for the weekend, so there is plenty of tidying up to do in preparation for that. That darn housework cuts into my simming time. If only maids were as cheap and easy to obtain in real life as they are for sims, I'd have Remmington Harris doing my chores instead.

I just wanted to share one photo with you, mostly just to get excited about the Free Time Skirt & Stockings outfit converted for adults by cloudlessnights on MTS2. I love that Free Time outfit to bits. BITS! Fair isle, argyle, sweater vests, knee socks, and skirts... these are a few of my favourite things!

She's pretty happy for someone caught in the rain, don't you think? It must be the fabulous outfit.

And who is this pretty gal? Why, she's one of the "next gen" of LFT students that will be starting their studies when Buck and Jill go to university. I figured that I would work some new characters in, and these may seem familiar to some of you. I decided that sims from any neighbourhood might go to LFT to study. That makes sense, right? I don't intend to go crazy with crossovers, exactly, but I do want to expand on the little bit of dabbling in that area that I've been doing. You can never have too many characters, right? (We'll see about that one.)

If you know her, feel free to call out her name. She's not shy.

ETA: I found some more Free Time conversions on the Sims Resource by aikea guinea: teen male and teen female Free Time "Tech" outfits converted for adults (same as above, but includes the male versions too... and your guess is as good as mine about why they are called "tech." outfits) and Teen female "Bohemian" outfit converted for adult females. Hooray!

Did you do any gender/gene switching? You mentioned Veronaville to me earlier, so if that's the case, then maybe Bottom? If you did mess around with gender and genes, I have no freaking clue.

Hmmm, Bottom is a possibility but my first thought was Jane Stacks, from SSU. But it might be just the hair throwing me off.

*perks* Ooo, this'll be fun! You'll be using Alexander then, right? Right? I love how creepy he looks, especially combined with his little bio blurb. Can't wait to see him as a young adult.

You made Bottom look like a GIRL! Awesome! LOL. I love that outfit, too. I'd attempt Free Time if I didn't think my computer would explode. I can't wait to see what sort of backstory or history you come up with for Bottom and whatever characters you introduce. I love having these side characters with their own issues that play into the lives and events of your Strangetown characters! ;)

What a great outfit. Cloudlessnights is awesome for converting all of these. As soon as I feel better, I'll go a downloading. And she's cute. I saw the comments, as to whom she might be, but I'm too incoherent to ask how you do the gender swap.

*GASP* I would have never found out about that conversion. *loves it and downloads*

Bottom is adorable! I never really play Veronaville, so I haven't even seen her as an adult/young adult. I can't wait to see her in the story. Can I ask what her aspiration is?

I love those outfits! Thank you for the link. Are they teen outfits in FT?

I also love the idea of sims from other neighborhoods going to La Fiesta Tech. Bottom's a good choice. :)

Ooh, conversions!! KNEE SOCKS!! Now if I can just get someone to make a roller derby style outfit, I would soil myself. (I'm more than a little fascinated by roller derby right now so. . .). I was just getting ready to go over to MTS2 and look for recolors/conversions. Hee hee!

Did you change Bottom's name? (I love the idea of a parent naming their kid bottom, it's just a bit mean!)

You've caught the cross over bug! Mwuahahahah.

I love the conversions as well. I have my selfsim in one of those outfits.

Speaking of crossovers and conversions, have you seen this awesome mega-hood that Hysterical Paroxysm put together? All the Maxis made hoods in one!

I'm testing it out today.
