Download: The Veronaville Llama

This one's been a long time coming, despite the fact that it's been sitting in my downloads folder forever. I really have no good excuse for not sharing it before now, besides having the attention span of a goldfish. :P

The Veronaville Llama was created in response to Patrizio Monty's sim bio, which describes the Monty property as a llama ranch. Disappointed by the lack of actual llamas to populate this ranch, I decided to attempt my own version. The result is a cheerful breed of llama, known more for their suitability for the heat of East Veronaville than their intelligence (really, they're a little dim-witted at the best of times). They have a wonderful coat, which makes a fibre that keeps you "warm in the Winter, yet cool in the Summer." They're a friendly breed, and are good with children, not unlike a dog. ;)



 

Feel free to develop your own breeds of llamas from my breeding stock. My game really couldn't have enough llamas. It's the official animal of the sim nations!

I've been wanting this for so long since your little teaser! Next time I load Veronaville I'm giving Patrizio a herd/flock/pack of these!

I'd love to see some pics if you do. ^_^

It just occured to me that it'd be really funny to have some of these as strays! (If only there were a way to limit them to Veronaville...)

[identity profile] w-sims.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have all the hoods separate so I may have a few Veronavillian llamas as strays! And maybe a silver breed, too, that another family owns :P You have opened so many doors in my little mind :P

LOL! Now I'm imagining rival gangs of llamas roaming Veronaville.

The "Monty Gold" and the "Capp Grey"? Hahaha

And then two young llamas from the different herds fall in love.

Heheh. Here we go again...

There's a spin-off of S,HWC for you :P

Words fail me to express just how fantastic I think this is XD Thanks so much for sharing. Awesome!

[identity profile] kin-thalas.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
OMG, fantastic work! I was alwas wondering why there are no "real" Llamas except the Uni costumes for the NPCs...

*snags*

This is brilliant! Thank you!

[identity profile] alma70.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Adorable, must have! =D

[identity profile] chillyzgrrlsims.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
How wonderful is this? He may just wind up in new project game. Veronaville should have llamas.

[identity profile] aledstrange.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohmy! This is so awesome!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
They are adorable!!! ^_^

(now I wonder how did we survive all this time without llamas!!? rofl)

[identity profile] genuinephobia.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm tempted to start talking baby talk to them.. Is that weird? They're so cute! Thank you!

[identity profile] nymphynymms.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok I don't have the Pets EP but I love this. Not only has it taken a lot of skill to turn a dog into a llama, but I adore the dorky dog smile it is left with. So funny!

[identity profile] simgarooop.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL This is amazing! I had no idea that the Monty's had a llama ranch, though. I need to pay more attention to the bios to get these funny details.

Thank you! I'm going to use these a lot in my game :)

(Actually, I've been reading the Sims Wikia lately for my new entry and I was surprised by the supposed connection between Riverblossom Hills and "Old Town" in the Sims 1 Games. They even imply that the Goths were originally from RH and then moved to Sunset Town/Pleasantview. Perhaps that's why there is a Goth clone family in there?)

Its been a while since I played TS1 but is'nt Old Town said to be an old part of town that got cut off? So it is likely the same place as (part of) Sunset Valley just rebuilt

best llamas ever.

[identity profile] abstract-pixels.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I never played Veronaville, but if it has llamas than bring it on! They are so going to take over the Monty ranch after I finish revamping other hoods :D .

[identity profile] ikichi.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! You're awesome, Strange!

How friggin' cute!!! :D

Yes! Thank you <3

[identity profile] profbutters.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Fabulous! Thanks!

[identity profile] selenecorvino.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Something about the llama's grin makes me think of "Scooby Doo," the dog. He sure looks interesting, thank you.

[identity profile] katee412.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
These are absolutely awesome!

[identity profile] muslemura.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Here's a llama, there's a llama!

They look great :D

[identity profile] move-objectson.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
This is adorable ^_^ I rarely play Veronaville, but the addition of llamas could make it my favourite hood! :D

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! They look great! SO very llama-like in the body shape and coloring, too. I almost expect them to spit on me!

I would have loved it if they actually have included llamas with the pets EP, complete with spitting! That would've been a riot.

If I was designing the pets EP for Sims 3, it'd definitely be having llamas instead of horses.

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they adding horses? Llamas would be so much better! And yes, they should spit. >:D

My mom got to see a baby llama being born. She tells me about it frequently and I just burn with jealousy.

That seems to be the rumour. And there's a video that shows them (and deer, raccoons, and a pet snake). The horses are great, but I really wish they'd stick to their own quirky mythology and include pet llamas for farm purposes. It'd be such a cool addition.

I'd be jealous, too. ^_^ Sounds like it would have been adorable. I get to see young alpacas at a farm nearby, and they're just precious.

Thank you! It worked right away. I love this llama :D

[identity profile] yaspis.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hearts. In my eyes. Thank you! :D

Do you mind if these show up in a story? I just got a wicked idea, a la Gaspode the Wonder Dog...
ext_122042: (Default)

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2012-07-22 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, please use these llamas however you like! :) I would love to see that, if you don't mind sharing a link to it. It sounds like a fun story idea.

[identity profile] yaspis.livejournal.com 2012-07-23 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll definitely swing by with a link once I get the show on the road - I'm still in the middle of setting up and writing the whole mess, and Sarcastic Drunken Hallucination Llama is not first on the list of things, more's the pity. A touch of Twin Peaksy llamaness would be a welcome break from all the building! :D
