Short Story in Progress

[strangetomato]

I got inspired this evening and wrote out a short story idea I've been mulling over for some time now. It's a stand-alone story about a premade that I haven't written about before, but it takes place in the same story universe as Strangetown, here we come. Now I'm trying to decide which direction I want to go in for the images. I might try something I haven't done before. Sort of abstract, perhaps? I think it'd suit the piece of writing, which is quite simple.

The sim in question doesn't come with a family, so I spent some time creating one for them. I don't know if I'm completely satisfied with them yet, but here's what I have so far:
 

 

Do you know which premade sim this old family snapshot belongs to?

That's why I like them so much (that, and their genetics. So many unique faces! Ellen Frost may have one of my favorite faces in the entire game!).

Ajay is one of my favorite sims, precisely because he's a blank slate. He has no backstory and no family ties, yet as a Strangetown resident shows up frequently in stories; it's really interesting to see what other people do with him - no two Ajays are the same!

I love Ellen Frost's face, too. Have you seen her mouth on a male sim? It's intense.

I agree about the character of Ajay being interesting that way. He's not particularly interesting in and of himself (being a loner and all), but he works very well as a supporting character.

I just have an issue with his face. It's shallow of me, but at least I can be honest about it, right? :P

I love that sweet face coupled with her Beakerish personality :D Girl is fierce. I'll be going for the "5 top-level businessess" wish for the first time. If there's a sim ready to face that challenge, it's Ellie the sharkwoman.
(fun fact: ACR made her choose Ty Bubbler for her boyfriend, and I rejoiced. Can you imagine what their babies are going to look like? Happiest-looking sims in the hood :D)

Heh, that might explain our different attutides towards him. I think he's cute! :p

She'll probably end up much the same in my game. She seems to be taking a shine to Guy Wrightly, and his family comes from money, so she'll fit right in.

LOL at sharkwoman! The smile is just a trap. Beware! XD Or maybe she's just out to win friends and influence people?

It's the Face One baby face thing, for me. I'm not a big fan of it on male sims, and Ajay seems to be based off that template (with even chubbier cheeks, I think). I have the same issue with the Davis twins and the O'Mackey brothers, the Hot Blond Downtownie... the list goes one. The only one that I feel can carry it off is Castor Nova. I don't mind it on him.
