Sims Talk: Bigfoot

This is for [personal profile] 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.

I do use (I almost typed "yous". It's the NYC post!) a default skin for the hairy chest. I too, wish some could be hairier then others but you get what you can get I suppose. The one I have isn't too bad...a nice bit of chest hair, nice little treasure trail. ;)
A bit of pubic hair for males and females. No bits, though. I don't need that much realism! I don't mind the hairless aliens...to me it's a part of their alien-ness.
I'm not a big one for facial hair myself. On some sims, yes, but most of mine tend to be clean-shaven. Sometimes the stubble. I don't mind the stubble.
Most blonde-haired sims in my game will never have any facial hair. I just don't like the way the blonde looks. I guess I'm just weird that way.

Mmmm. Treasure trails are nice.

I don't need "bits" on my sims either. Like Barbies, I can just use my imagination.

That's exactly how I feel about the aliens. Especially with the way I've portrayed them as being hermaphroditic in this story, it seems to make sense that they don't have much hair on their bodies. I've also always considered their green skin to indicate a slight reptilian quality about them, which would also mean that having less hair would make sense.

I'm more of a stubble person too, but I will use the moustache for older male sims, and the full beard. Those goatees are okay too, for certain characters. Oh, and the sideburns are useful. It's mostly a character thing. I leave a lot of the male sims with a bare face too, or just a hint of stubble. The Grunts are all clean shaven, which makes sense with the military thing for me (and Ripp being the exception makes sense too). I find it funny when people give Buzz or Tank stubble, yet keep them in a military career. I'm pretty sure the military expects a more clean-shaven look. The General, especially, probably wouldn't ever have stubble.

I don't give my blond sims facial hair all that often either, since most of the natural blonds that I know don't have a lot of facial hair. I usually give the blond adult males the lightest stubble, if any. It's funny, though, since many people with brown hair have blond or reddish facial hair. It would be cool if we could mix it up like that.

YES! Most men have facial hair that is darker then the hair of their head especially blondes and redheads. Even blondes tend to have darker facial hair. we need a dark blonde/light brown color for the blondies beards. That would work better.

I never could invision the General with stubble. He's not that kind. Tank I gave stubble to, but I like it on him.
Speaking of military sims and stubble I have a sim that I made into a townie and he has dark stubble and facial piercings, and the game put him in the military! LOL! So he always looks great when he follows someone home with his uniform, his beret and his three day growth of beard!
