Strangetown Extras: Now I'm just teasing you

[strangetomato]

I've been playing and writing a little, working towards the next Strangetown update, which should happen sometime this week. The next chapter involves a lot of characters in some small way, so I've been working my way around town and catching up with everyone. It's been a lot of fun. We'll get to see a lot of the characters that people have been asking about (yes, that does include Vidcund... many of you will be happy to know that I've been working on his story a lot lately, and have found an increased interest in him). I have a couple of fun surprises in this next one too.

We'll see a couple of new faces, including this guy:




Art hands! C'mon, everyone's doin' it!


Also, hair is a bit of a running theme. One or more people may be getting new hairstyles.

Freckles would be fun to use on a family, as an extra level to the genetic thing that you can't really get in the game.

You can sort of do that with one of Lyran's skintones. She has a very nice freckled skintone that I used all the time, but since I had no idea about genetizing stuff, it was extremely dominant.

I guess that now I could tweak it a bit with SimPe and use it as a genetic trait ^^.

I never think of using a custom skin like that (probably because I so often use the premade characters as they are in the game), but it's a good option for the next original character I design. I have no idea about geneticizing things, but I don't think I'd mind that being dominant anyway. Freckles seem like they do get carried on through families like that.
