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.

when i met him I just kept increasing the relationship until I could ask him to move in. In fact my game was glitched so my sims would have no memory of befriending bigfoot unless I asked him to move in.

I actually don't know how to move him in. Buck REALLY wanted him to move in, but when they got home, they couldn't call him over.

I wasn't sure if you were supposed to ask him to move in when you're still on vacation or after the vacation.

Big Feet can actually come with different face templates.

My main hood's bigfoot is the Brandon Lillard frog nose face. I needed him in my 'reshoot' neighborhood for some plotty scenes, so I sent my cloned sims off to that Three Lakes to find and bring home the Bigfoot. THAT Bigfoot turned out to have the stabby death nose face that belongs on the downtownie dude with the orange and blue bowling shirt.

Luckily, Bigfoot CAN use the facelift machine, so I was able to adjust his face to get the right one. Steve got have the right face for both of his parts in the story. :)

Ain't no party like Bigfoot party, cuz a Bigfoot party don't stop!!! *does the cabbage patch dance*

Having Bigfoot in game is cool and all, but since you can't breed with him, and his hair is just clothing, he's kinda lost his shine for me.

If you want him thou, I hope you can get him! :)

Bigfoot is fun. My sims befriended him, took him away from his natural habitat and immediately gave him a job, allowing them to slack off. He got the rough end of that deal, how sad.

Thank you!

Now, a few questions:

1. Bigfoot's only selectable once you move him in? (if he's always unselectable, that's crappy--makes him like a pet).

2. Does he come with certain skills/badges (like Servos do)?

3. Is he going to show up in Strangetown or are the Kims going to be a side project (seeing his wants to make friends with two Strangetown stars makes me snicker--you could do a dream sequence with Bigfoot)?

4. Show business career? SWEET, you have the uni careers hack in. I love that hack.

5. How did Bigfoot react to the Kim pets? I want to see a pissed off cat chasing Bigfoot (I've had pissed off cats chase sims and it's funny as hell).

I love how Bigfoots/feet can have different face templates. That makes them a little "better" *snicker* than Servos. My main beef with Servos is the "girls have a bow" thing. I really dislike that.

(loved the pic of him covering his furry behind. Don't be shy, boy. SHAKE THAT HEALTHY ASS!)

I LOVE BIGFOOT!!

He comes with ALL the badges and skill points. Totally maxed out!

And strange_tomato, you're right... breeding isn't everything. My Bigfoot loves to garden and fish. He's perfectly suited for it!

You have to watch him when he gets hungry though... he throws a tantrum (I forget what it's called... maybe Bigfoot Rampage or something like that??) Anyway, it's like the Servos running amok and the Bigfoot can do a lot of damage. I don't think he can actually kill sims though, unless he does a Bigfoot Scare on them and the unfortunate sim's needs are already low and they get scared to death! :-0

Most of the time he's a cuddly (if a bit stinky) addition to the family though!

I think he's got a better face then some of the townies, especially a couple of the ones wandering around Uni. They scare me.

He definitely makes up for lack of hair on male sims. That (lack of hair) kind of bugs me. That's why I looked around and found a default replacement skin that adds some chest hair to my guys. It doesn't change the aliens, et. all but at least some of my guys can look 'normal'.

Party on, Bigfoot! LOL! And he wants to know Ripp? Oh, man, the things Ripp could teach this sweet, naive creature. He would, too.

Someone needs to make a Bigfoot in a thong icon!!!!!
