Sims for Download

For anyone who's interested, here are all of the original characters from my stories (either created in CAS or born in-game). You can use these however you like. A wink and nod is not necessary, but always appreciated (especially the wink). If you use one of them for something, please give me a heads-up so I can check it out.






Sims from Strangetown, Here We Come


Any of the sims that I've created in CAS for a story, and those born in-game, will be posted here. They should be completely free of cc, with the exception of custom Lyran eyes on some of the CAS sims (if you must have them without, let me know), and I've dressed them up in base game hair and clothing, because I try to be thoughtful like that.

I have listed the cc and items from the EP/SPs that I've used on them in the story, and also the character stats needed to fully recreate them, but feel free to make them over however you see fit. In art school, one of my profs used to say that the secret to reinventing something is to just "turn it upside down and add a hat," so you might want to start there. Results may vary.




Mr. Doe

sloppy/neat: 10
shy/outgoing: 2
lazy/active: 7
serious/playful: 2
grouchy/nice: 4

Aspiration: Knowledge

Fun Fact: Mr. Doe is based on Morrissey, the writer, singer and lyricist, formerly of The Smiths.




Jayne Doe

sloppy/neat: 10
shy/outgoing: 7

grouchy/nice: 8

Aspiration: Popularity

- Untuckable shirt recolour (HP mesh) by Nihilia
- jeans are from H&M Stuff

Fun Fact: Jayne is my middle name. Any other resemblance is purely unintentional. In fact, we're not much alike at all (though that is the same personality spread for seriousness and niceness that I gave my simself... and I do have green skin).

Fun Fact: I thought of Charlotte York from Sex and the City when I named her.




Lyla Grunt

This is my version, created from Ripp and Buck's genetics, with some tweaking. I also took a stab at her personality, as you can see. I made it so that the boys would all have a logical mix of both parents.

sloppy/neat: 3
shy/outgoing: 3
lazy/active: 3
serious/playful: 7
grouchy/nice: 9

Aspiration: Romance/Family

 Debbie (Debra) O

sloppy/neat: 3
shy/outgoing: 5
lazy/active: 7
serious/playful: 6

- hair from Carnaby Sims
- shirt and jacket converted to single top from a full H&M outfit (unsure of source - I'll look into it)
- Swishy Skirt with Boots by HystericalParoxysm

Fun fact: Her name is a combination of Debbie Harry (of Blondie) and Karen O (of Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs), which hints at just how well she can rock out.

She's descended from the Maxis default PT (through breeding in CAS), as her cheekbones indicate.




Cammy (Camilla) Nutmeg

sloppy/neat: 4
shy/outgoing: 4
lazy/active: 4
serious/playful: 7
grouchy/nice: 6

That's it for now. I'll be adding more sims to this post as they appear in my stories.

I was using the same idea as the name Summerdream for my name. That comes from A Midsummer Night's Dream, of course, but I thought the way the two nouns were combined worked well as a way of coming up with other names of the faery variety. I may keep it, since it's amusing, but I may change the last half (which was -wind).

It's cool to have a running theme like that. I tend to just open books around the room to get names a lot of the time, so I end up with famous people and model names, types of plants, or fabric most of the time. Or food. I have a lot of cookbooks.

So you sometimes have the wrong person propose marriage? I would just change it in SimPE. I often give sims a temporary name (like the Llama Dance Party sims were all named Rocker at first), and then change it when I'm sure about it. I intend to do hyphenated marriage names for some sims too (like Jill Smith wouldn't change her name, I'm sure). I'm not a fan of having the woman always taking the man's name.
