Request for simselves

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?

Ugh, for some reason my email client keeps telling me that it can't deliver to you (wtf, Dreamhost?) so I uploaded the files instead.

SimSelf D. Marie (although you can call her anything you like; I'm hardly picky!)
OFB Recolour for the outfit I packed her in.

Seriously, my mail is 'special' some days.....

And I think she might have inadvertently wound up with a set of custom dark dark brown eyes I have. You can nix those and just give her either the Maxis brown or any other colour of your choice. I just like those because my eyes are that shade of brown that one could safely call black and not be exaggerating.

I figured that'd be the case. ;) Oh! Name: Sauna Sims. If the Sim gets a chance at earning badges, gardening or fishing to complement the cooking? Just don't make her a Plantsim, unless you're looking for angst. :D

Not a fan of the plantsims, huh? :P I'll put some ladybug houses in there to ward off the pests. Or assign someone else to spraying.

The sock monkey is from TSR.

As for the duel aspirations, I'm keen to make some family/pleasure sims (Percy Beaker, I'm looking at YOU!)

I could give you the same Lyran eyes that I use on Nervous Subject. They're the darkest ones I have.

Thank you! :D

I can make a Leo with those stats, thanks to InSIM (that's what I do - I'm a Taurus, but not the way Maxis has them assigned). I'll do that.

Also, what would you like your name to be? I'll need a first and last name to assign to you.

[identity profile] xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! Then you will have Strangetown AND Veronaville sims! Sounds like a great plan. ;) (selfsim will be sooo happy)

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

Cool. I'll try to find it.

Family/pleasure sounds like an interesting one. I'm loving the idea of romance/family too. Should be interesting.

Your simself's full name is JL Verde, correct?

What should I use for your name? Your first name is MJ, right? (Are those your real initials? They're mine too. :D) What should I give you for a last name?

Re: *squeak!*

[identity profile] silentsteel.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! ^^ *fires up bodyshop to make sure template's clean* Mind if I email her to you? I'm having absolutely no luck with either the exchange or yousendit. :(

Lesse, Skin 1, I'm a brunette (if you've got a greying brunette hairdo in your recolors, that'd be spiffy), and I have massive freckles. I'm one of those women who freckle in midwinter. ^^;

And if nobody's claimed it, I'd like to claim maxed cooking. ^^ I love making things, and I luuurve cooking for others (as my hips attest). :D

Statswise, I don't mind much, but I'm not very neat (probably a 3), I'm on the lazy side, and I'm nice with a mean streak when tired. ^^;

[identity profile] mjo5oh.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, MJ! Good initials :)

Umm as far as last names go, I'd rather not have my last name willingly floating out there in cyber space. So you could just give her whatever last name you want. Or "Fin" since, it's part of my last name. :)

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?

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's completely understandable. I can go with Fin, if you like. Otherwise, it could just be Sim or Sims.

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to get into that hedge maze, too! It looks so cool.

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
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*

[identity profile] music-simbol.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL.

I would have replied earlier, but I was doing some simming. :)

I already have my sim ready to go, since laridian needed her earlier. So, email, or should I just load her up somewhere?

Stats..... 4-5-4-6-6. Technically, I should be a Virgo. The sim Virgos are neat. That's soooooo wrong for me. :P Aspiration, Knowledge/Family. I just wish family didn't mean I'd want babies. If it was possible, I'd be Knowledge/Knowledge. Maxed skill.........I'll say cooking. That way you can put me to work as a cook if you open a restaurant. And name, just Lamia Simbol I guess. It's too weird to be named music, but I don't have an internet last name. :P

I think I got everything. I just wonder how I'll look with EA defaults......*starts to shudder*

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

I do love giant casts, right? ;)

[identity profile] simgarooop.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)

Ummm... Katie Roop. Yeah, that sounds silly enough for a Sim ^^

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee. OK, if you insist. I'll go pack her up. I'll get back to you on stats.

[identity profile] ikichi.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes and no... it's not currently dyed, and I'm rocking a blue wig while I let my hair recover (I've seriously worn it every time I've left the house this year). There's usually at least some blue extensions.

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That is so very cool. Wigs are a lot of fun. I wore one in the last play I was in, which was a take on Dr. Suess. I was Cindy Lou Who, all grown up, and I have an awesome pink wig. I loved it.

[identity profile] cindyanne1.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
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))

Oh yes! I'm a family/pleasure sim.

And should I use the email in your profile for emailing my selfsim to you?

Re: *squeak!*

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would be fine. I'll make sure to go check it.

Did I ask what name to use for you? *is forgetful* I need a first and last name.
