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?

I'm fine with whatever you do for her stats, just be aware she'll probably have some "PT-itis" slouching all gape mouthed *snort*.

Dual aspiration is great for JL, too. I'm not really any ONE aspiration, but knowledge was the best (face it, I just want to be abducted/probed by aliens!) when I could only pick one.

Hmm, one maxed skill. . .either creativity or logic (creativity might be more "me" but the logic might increase my self sims chances at abduction--I've never had JL get abducted).

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).

[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]

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

[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.

[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.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

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

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

It is a Nouk mesh, but it's a crappy recolor (the eyebrows aren't black- I had to use the blonde hair as a base). Tell you what, I'll send the .package file and you can decide.

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.

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

Sent!
Stats, roughly: 3 Neat, 2 Outgoing, 4 Active, 8 Playful, 8 Nice. Aspiration: Pleasure/Knowledge. Maxed skill: Cooking! Mm cakes. :D Turn ons/off (if you take those): yay for employed people with beards but no plantsims. Yech, pesky sappy creatures!

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

Which is to say I messaged you where to download it. Ahem.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

Well, whatever you do is fine with me!

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

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

[mjo5oh.livejournal.com]

That sounds good!

As far as skill points go, it doesn't matter. It would be cool if I learned to "dazzle" people into buying stuff though!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Got it. Thanks!

I'm glad to have someone with a maxed cooking skill. You'll come in handy. :P

[waywardgaze.livejournal.com]

Excellent :) I've managed to upload it to the official sims site here (http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sim_detail.php?asset_id=1294975&asset_type=sim&user_id=2538433), cursing it at every step. - the only custom stuff if boy-cut jeans I think I found through one of your posts anyway.

Neat 4
Outgoing 2
Active 7
Playful 8
Nice 4

And why not creativity as my main skill, make my old art professors proud at least in Strangetown.

Can't wait to see what you do with us all!

[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!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'll need your aspiration too. And I'll have to ask everyone what they want as their first and last names, since it's not always obvious. I go by Strange Tomato, but that strategy doesn't work for all usernames.

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

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, your wish is my command. I'll give you maxed charisma and use you for sales.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I do like the blue hair. I'll be able to identify you quite easily. Do you have blue hair in real life too?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Aww, well I'm sure I'll just love your lazy little simself. I have a soft spot for those types.

Yeah, it's hard to pick just one aspiration. I find the dual thing really great for making characters for stories too. You can have so much more unique characters this way. I see a number of people doing the pleasure/knowledge thing. I guess we're all lazy nerds with short attention spans. *snicker* Who, me?!

Maybe I'll give you logic for the variety. Nobody has picked that yet. I might have you sewing some items, though, since I know you do that, right? Maybe we can sell some sock monkeys. Where did you download those from?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

No, scrap that. I went in there and it's LAME. :P I'm leaning towards Veronaville now, since I do love those timber framed houses, and there's this one lot with a little hedge maze and I've always wanted to play it. I think that will be our home base.

I can always add some Strangetown clones if I want some familiar customers. ;)
