Request for simselves

[strangetomato]

Yeah, I know I said I was taking a break (I'm pretty bad at this, aren't I?), but I just thought of a fun little sim project to amuse myself with while I get away from my story for a while, and I'm here to request some simselves for use in this experiment.

I've been really into Open For Business lately, and I want to attempt to achieve that "have 5 top level businesses" LTW, while I'm learning all about the perks and all that. So my plan is to get Ms. Strange Tomato a nice little tomato garden and start selling the produce in her very own farmer's market, and then maybe branch out into opening an art gallery, coffee shop, or one of the many other pipe dream business ideas I've thought up over the years.

What I need now are workers. That could be you. I'm looking for seven diverse simselves to offer me their talents. You can even specify a particular skill they should have (only one), to get us started. I'll also need the stats and dual aspiration for them. I'll do a little report on how it all goes after I've had some time to play around with it. Don't worry. I'll be kind to them.

Any takers?

Aww, Strange Tomato and her tomato garden, how cute!
Well Van is currently involved in an asylum challenge, but I wouldn't mind giving her to you if you want her! :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The nice thing about simselves is they can be in more than one place at a time. ;)

I'd love to have Van. One can never have enough employees that like to fart and swing from the door of the fridge. (Does she play pirates too?) Now you just need to decide what special skill she should have. I assume you'll want something creative, like music skill. It's too bad sims can't make jewelry. That would be great for a business.

I'm going to accept whoever sends someone along by this evening (or maybe even sometime tomorrow - it'll take a while to set up the lot). If it's more than seven, I'll just add them to another house and hire them to come to the businesses. Just seven for the main lot, though, obviously.

Hell, I'm game. I'm at work so don't have access to D. Marie at the moment (she's safely on my home computer) so I'll send her your way this evening. The only CC I have on my self-sim is a freckled skintone; if you'd prefer not to inherit that let me know and I'll repack her with another before I send.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer her without the cc skin, if you don't mind, or at least tell me which default skintone you'd prefer, since I won't be using the cc skin. I can add freckles, though, if you want.

I don't have any issues with cc clothes, if it's something using a common mesh (like those untuckables). Just run it by my first. I don't want to clutter up my downloads with a bunch of meshes I'll never use.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've never submitted a self-sim, but that sounds pretty fun. And if that'll keep you entertained and happy, the better.

Heh, in case my real-self gets fired (not likely, but there's still the "danger" of that O_o), at least my sim-self would get to have a job in the mean time! :D.

Sure, I'm in! Just let me extract her from my backup neighborhood.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I get the honour of being the first to use your simself for something? That's so much fun. My own has taken a couple of trips out into the world in music_simbol's Livejournal Assylum Challenge, and also a little adventure to create our simstoryteller mod icons (also in music_simbol's game).

I think this will help to get me "back in the game", so to speak, since it should be a lot of fun, and won't be so story-based. :) Thanks for participating.

I'll need your stats too, and one special skill you'd like to have.

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

You may use me. I'm in a post at allsims. Very easy to find. I come with cc, but you don't need to keep it if you don't want to. Details are in the post. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll be using the default skintones and eyes (well, Lyran's eyes), for sure, so which one should I use for you?

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

I'll grab JL for you when I get home (computer willing, of course).

I don't really have stats for JL (nothing that HAS to be a certain way). But she is rather lazy and not so neat (the rest is up in the air). I like to make her a Capricorn (my sign) but sometimes I fiddle with the "laziness" so she doesn't slouch and mouth breath so much (in real life, I do slouch but NEVER mouth breath!)

Aspiration: I've never given any version of JL a secondary yet. Main aspiration is knowledge. Secondary could be pleasure (I do enjoy changing into my pjs!)

I only have two requests for JL. 1) Has to be fat (if she gets skinny while you play, that's ok, but she has to start fat). 2) No adult content (really not an issue with you but I just have to say it--NO NIPS/PUBES on JL, please).

Aside from those two things, you can do anything you want/to her (including switching the gender, she makes an odd looking guy--not surprisingly).

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll set her as Capricorn, and then take it down to like 3 in lazy and neat, if I can. How does that sound?

Ooh, another knowledge/pleasure combo. That's what I go with now too. I've always flipped back and forth between the two for my simself, so dual aspirations is cool with me. I also have family tendencies, but a big NO to the baby side of it, so I don't ever use that one (though I did the very first time I played the game... before I knew about that).

No pubes. You got it. I'll try to resist the urge to add them just for you. *snicker* Fatness is, of course, no problem either.

I'm giving everyone one maxed skill to start out too, so take your pick.

[mjo5oh.livejournal.com]

I would be super honored if you used my self sim!!

She should be an Aries. The aspiration should be... well, you already have knowledge/pleasure sims, so I guess mine should be Fortune/Family. The only CC included is the hair, but you can change it if you want. Oh, and for some reason my default eyebrow replacements were packaged in it too. If you have skinnier ones, it'd be a lot more realist. ;) My self sim would probably appreciate a make over as well!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I won't use the eyebrow replacements, so will you be happy with the Maxis "plucked" brows?

I'll keep the hair too. I don't mind a couple of extra hair downloads, since I've kept it pretty minimal up until now.

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

I'll send you my simself if you've still got space for her, she's a plant lover, so gardening or flower arranging is best, but anything you need for her to be is fine

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I have unlimited space, really. I'm going to randomly assign living quarters, so seven will be on the "main" lot, but I'll put the others in another house, and bring them in for work.

Ooh, a gardener will be useful in the beginning. I'll need to grow lots of tomatoes.

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

I wanna work for you! I'll send all the info with myself. ^__^ (Don't worry, I Maxified myself- well, the outfit's a recolor- so you won't have the bluefro of DOOM in your files).

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, but the bluefro is lovely. I have that mesh anyway, I think (It's Nouk's, right?), so send it along.

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

If you still need 'em, I'd be happy if you used mine! :D Err. Just need to make it first. *runs around*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Yeah, of course. Send her along. :)

[waywardgaze.livejournal.com]

Reading this inspired me to find my old self-sim, realise I lost it in the last uninstall/reinstall, and remake myself again out of sheer stubbornness. Want to have the first go with this version? :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yes. :D I wouldn't want you to have gone through all that for nothing, you know. I'm more than glad to have your self-sim.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to contribute one too, although last time I tried packaging files, my game crashed.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't want you to crash your game (Bodyshop is so tempermental, huh?), but I'll gladly accept your selfsim.

*squeak!*

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

*hophophop* Could you use my Selfsim? :D I'd be jazzed to send her along!

Re: *squeak!*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Sure can! I'll have a real army of employees by the time I'm finished, but that's great. :D

I wonder which of you will excel and be promoted to managers? :P

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

I see 56 comments already, but you got room for one more? :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh YEAH! :D !!!!11

If you didn't volunteer, I was planning to come after you, anyway. After having "innocent" little Strange in your crazy asylum, I think it's only fair to have your selfsim working for her for a change. I'd love to have you in my game.

I don't have a limit here, really. I'm going to house seven sims in the main house, and have the other employees in another dwelling.

I'll need your stats and all that too, and the one skill you'd like maxed. You prefer Lamia to Music Simbol, right? What should I use for your last name?

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

You don't need anymore, do you? Ah well. It sounds like a lot of fun, and a good break from orchestrating a multi-branching plotline and giant cast of characters.

Speaking of giant cast... no, I don't think you need my selfsim! You already have too many. You can't have her. *sticks out tongue*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon. You know I'd love to have your simself. Pretty please?

I do love giant casts, right? ;)

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I'm probably a bit late to the game but here's my selfim if you are still interested. :)

http://www.esnips.com/web/bcgummy-Sims/


She's under the name Cindy Selfsim.


The only CC included is her hair, a lipstick, and a mascara. She's in a Sims2Pack file.

Aspiration: Family/Pleasure
Starsign: Taurus in real life, but more like Pisces for sims.
Hobby: Nature
Turn ons: Facial hair/blond hair/hard worker/high logic (pick and choose)
Turn off: cologne


((hugs))

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely still interested. :) Thank you for joining in.

[franwi.livejournal.com]

INSANE! LOL. Sounds like fun. At this rate you'll have more employees than tomatoes. Can't wait to find out how the business goes.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. It should be fun. Care to join us? ;)

[hathakleen.livejournal.com]

Aha, I've tried doing a farmer's market sort of business before, but I was a bit disappointed because the whole idea behind it was to have all plantsim employees who could be assigned to talk to the plants. As I recall, that wasn't something I could make them do, so I got discouraged. This project of yours sounds fun, though! I'd love to help out, of course to do that, I'd have to go back home and fix up my selfsim and everything and then bring her to anywhere with internet again, because I don't have it at home right now. But you probably don't need me, anyway :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will definitely add you, if you worked it out. Let me know, okay? :)

I hate how the EPs aren't compatible like that. I'll have to see how it all goes. This is a big OFB experiment. It should be fun.

[sofieamalien.livejournal.com]

You can have my selfsim too! :D I'll e-mail her to you once she's ready (she is in need of a minoe redo..) . I'll send her CC-free.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) You can send her to nervous_subject(at)hotmail(dot)com.

I don't mind a little bit of cc for hair, makeup, and clothing, if you want (as long as it's a fairly common mesh for the clothing). I'll change the eyes and skin to what I use in-game, if you use cc for that.

[swhedonberry.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're totally welcome to sim Stacie if you'd like her.

She's here: http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sim_detail.php?asset_id=1118259&asset_type=sim&user_id=2378513

Details about me: I'm an actress and singer who is capable of some dance (I "move well" is the correct term, I believe). I also perform with an improv comedy troupe wherever we can get work. If you use me, feel free to change the Wonder Woman tee that my simself is wearing to something else as I know that you prefer simlish. Also, my skintone would be 01 and my eye color dark blue without the customs. My simstory is call Whedonberry (if that's something you're interested in knowing).

If you use me, awesome!! If not, I can't wait to see what you do!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I'll definitely use her.

So, should I use Whedonberry as your surname, then?

What should I use as your secondary aspiration? I'll give you maxed charisma, since you're an actress/singer (I do some acting myself, but just community theatre). That's very cool. You should be good for sales and things like that in one of the businesses.

[blissfulrain47.livejournal.com]

You can use mine if you still want employees. She's still a teenager so if you want you can age her up. States would be Sloppy/neat 2, outgoing/shy 5, lazy/active 4, playful/serious 8, grouchy/nice 6.
Aspiration knowledge with secondary pleasure. So if you still want selfsims I'll email mine to you. Oh and her name is Rain Surton and maxed logic would do. Oh almost forgot OTH is literature.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, send her along. I have five businesses to run, eventually, so lots of employees will be needed. At the very least, you can be a customer. I'm sure I'll fit you in there somewhere.

My email address is nervous_subject(at)hotmail(dot)com

Thanks! :D

[blissfulrain47.livejournal.com]

I sent her. Have fun. This is the first time I've ever gave someone else one of my sims. Any way good luck with the new project.

[lovelysims.livejournal.com]

Wow, looks like you got a lot of hits already. If you need another self sim let me know. I can always package up myself or my hubbie.
