Strangetown Extras: Jill Smith

[strangetomato]

This is just a little collection of images of Jill Smith. I was going to call it a photoshoot, but that makes it sound more exciting than it is. This is just to give a better idea of what Jill looks like to anyone who might be interested. *whistles innocently*

(Yeah, I'm up to something... but can you guess what it is?)

Those last few were reference shots for Buck. He does like to paint Jill.

It's about time you get around to using that custom painting thing. It's awesome.

Question: Is that "in the zone" glow causing you any troubles pic wise? I'm worried sims will "zone" too easily (like after only a few minutes doing someting zone worthy) and then when I go to get game pics I'll be pissed by the glowing.

Yeah, it's not a big deal I'm just wondering if it'll become an issue (and, can it be turned off--like when you use that one cheat to turn off the cartoony type effects like the stars when someone gets slapped)

Yeah, I know. It's really fun, and easy too. You just drop the images into that folder, and you're ready to go. I've been planning to use it for ages, so it's nice to finally get off my ass and do it.

I haven't had any issues with that yet, but I can see it coming. Ripp can't even dance without glowing anymore, so that's annoying. They do zone very easily too, once they're at the highest hobby enthusiasm level. There is a fix for it here:

I think I'll be adding that. I can always take it out if I want the effect for some reason. It's more annoying than the cartoon effects to me. Those seem to fit, but I don't need random glowing. It does bother me.

Hmm, so do they only glow if it's their one true hobby, or for any hobby they get to the top of?

If it's OTH, then maybe you could just switch the hobby to avoid the glow.

Or get that fix. . .why am I still so stuck on finding the hardest way to do things when there's a fix RIGHT there?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

No, it's any hobby the reach the top of. The OTH only makes them gain hobby enthusiasm faster. It doesn't have any effect on benefits obtained or even those hobby idle animations. They just come from participation in the hobby.

Oh, but the hardest way is always the most fun! *snicker*

The idle animations have already amused me once (and I've only played the game once since installing FT).

Some random townie (I think she was a hobby related chick) would NOT leave the Ottomas house and kept doing the "picture hands" at the kids.

I really get a kick out of the music animations. It seems so appropriate for Ripp to hum and whistle and tap his legs all the time, and the humming thing sounds really funny (and realistic). He does it all day when he's working at the flower shop, so it's like a whistle while you work thing.

And every now and then, Johnny just starts throwing a few practice punches at whoever he's talking to (it's either fitness or sports). That ones is funny too.
