Sims Talk: Bigfoot

[strangetomato]

This is for madame_ugly, who wanted a closer look at Bigfoot.

My plan is to move Bigfoot in with the Kim family, who will help him to realize his true star potential. Since the futuristic thing isn't working for them anymore (for those who don't know, the Kim family used to star in a TV show that was set in the future, like the Jetsons). There seems to be potential for a story there. Who wouldn't want to see Bigfoot's rise to stardom, and his inevitable downfall?




The Kim family wasted no time in getting to know Bigfoot. They joined him in his favourite hobby: fishing.




Doesn't he look great? (I need to figure out how to make default replacement eyes for the creature sims. I could use some of Lyran's other eyes to replace them.)

Here's a better look:






He's related to Kaylynn Langerak, I see. That's her exact nose. Too bad Bigfoot can't breed with normal sims. I'm assuming that two Bigfeet wouldn't be able to breed with each other either (and it wouldn't achieve much, anyway, since they're all identical).

His name is Alon Bigfoot in my game. You get a different first name for every new Bigfoot.

He certainly makes up for the lack of body hair on male sims, doesn't he?




He doesn't need a censor blur either, even though he's buck naked. At least he attempts to hide his shame.

For those of you who consider Bigfoot old news (which is just about everyone, I'm sure), how do you get him to move in with you? Everyone in my party is friends with him, and they did the slap dance, but I don't see an option to ask to him to move in. What am I doing wrong here?

ETA: I went back and tried it again, and the option to move him into the family was there this time. Bigfoot is a member of the family now. He's a popularity sim. I was amused by the wants that I found when I made him selectable.

Bigfoot wants to party. This will work well for his show business career.

Making those default replacement eyes could be a good project for me. I've been wanting to learn how to do things like make defaults, and I could be doing everyone who uses Lyran's eyes a service. I know that a number of people who visit my journal use them (simgaroop, pixel_and_bean, and dothesmustle, just off the top of my head), and I'm sure there are more. Lyran's eyes are just fantastic. They really suit the sim aesthetic.

I'm having fun with the mini updates too, but it's mostly just reporting on the gameplay, and not the story. I'm a little stalled with that (and getting those new EPs is distracting me too), but I hope to get the next update out soon.

Oh, you should. I'm always interested in those merged hoods. I'm doing that sort of crossover in Strangetown, but it's all completely manual. I prefer it that way for the story, since a fully merged hood would be too integrated for my purposes.

I agree. This community is a lot of fun. :)

I know it's possible to make default replacements for the vampire stuff, since my vampires are merely somewhat paler rather than bluish-grey, and their eyes are normal. I didn't make those myself, though, nor do I remember where they came from, so I can't offer any more help than that.

I've seen default replacement eyes for most, of not all, of the creature sims. If I had something that already existed to work with as a template, it might be easier, but I'm sure I could find a tutorial on the subject somewhere. I'm going to look into it, once I get the next Strangetown update out (I'm actually making progress now, which is great).
