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?

Hooray! :D I have it. Just for the sake of finding you in CAS, what's your hair/eye colour, and any distinguishing traits?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

How goes the sim packaging? Is your comp holding up?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. Hints are SO MUCH FUN! :D

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

Sent!!

And now I have to wait..........I'm soooo impatient. :P

I got everything I wanted burned with no fuss from the computer (even saved my "paintings" folder so Loki's art won't go bye bye should I have to do a full re-install).

But I did have one of those "bazillion browsers" moments and had to shut the beast down and come back in.

I'm ready to send JL over (sent you an email about it).

Oh, those are great! If I wasn't so in love with my Eye Candy defaults and genetic eyes, those would definitely be on my short list of replacements and additional genetic sets!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, silly me... how will I find you? I don't have a pic, so you need to give me little description. :)

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

Wigs *are* awesome. I love being able to cheat to get the color I want. :D

I forgot to mention in the last email, but if you want to change her gender or anything, I'm a-ok with that (though I have NO idea how she'll look as a guy- I gave her a weird mouth and cheek combo...)

I picked brown hair - the vacations hairdo, and the 'olive' color eyes by Lyran (I think I read you mentioning those are okay CC in the comments) because mine are hazel, not green or brown. Oh! And I'm wearing the neon green top with black slacks. ^^

Re: *squeak!*

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

And Hooray! ^^


Oh! If it helps, I've got chubby cheeks, a roundish face, and a big nose. And slightly sad-basset-hound kind of eyes - the shape's just a little mournful.

Hmm, okay, I think I actually figured it out. My first upload of a sim, wow. But you'll probably want to use clean installer anyway, I know I missed removing nail polish. I'm interested in seeing what my self-sim looks like in your game.

Oh! Ahahaha. She's got brown hair in a half-tail, dark blue eyes, pale pale skin and I dressed her in the paintsplattered coveralls.

[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.

body shop worked! W00t!

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Here's my self sim using Maxis only content! I hope I'm not too late for the party.

Personality wise, I'm (IRL) Scorpio, but according to the game, I'm a Cancer. My best skill lies in creativity, and my one true hobby is music/dance.

As far as aspirations go, I consider myself to be Knowledge/family. If you're tapped out for those, pleasure/knowledge works for my alter ego.

Random note: I do wear glasses half the time, but the in game glasses look nothing like what I wear, so it's up to you if you wish to use them. Mine are closer to cat's eye glasses, to be honest.

Anything I forgot? Hope you can use her.

[waywardgaze.livejournal.com]

Oops, knew I'd forget something! I'll go with knowledge, and pleasure as secondary. Name is Oda Wayward.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll need your stats too - aspirations, personality, and one skill you'd like maxed out.

Also, how will I recognize your selfsim? I just need your hair/eye colour and maybe a hint about what she's wearing or her hairstyle.

[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.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

I'll try to post a little glimpse of them all at some point during the weekend, so you won't have to wait too long.

Re: *squeak!*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) The neon green top makes her easy to spot.

The Lyran eyes are fine. I already have all the custom eyes, as well as the defaults, since I use some of the custom ones on CAS characters for a bit of variety.

Hazel eyes seems like they should have been an option for the default eyes to me. A lot of people have those.

Re: body shop worked! W00t!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I have some cc glasses (I love putting glasses on sims), so I could try some of those on your selfsim, if you like. Do you think these HP glasses are close?

http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=268324

They're not really cat's eye, but maybe they're close enough? If you have another download to recommend, I have no problem with downloading more glasses.

How should I identify her in CAS? I just need a couple of distinguishing features, and the hair/eye colour, so I make sure I have the right sim.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I've found her. :) I like that she's dressed for work in the garden.

[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!

[franwi.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I don't have any great pictures of her. I included the outfit she's in, and the glasses and hair. I removed freckles, so feel free to add some back.


stats - no idea. I'm a Sagitarius in RL. Otherwise mid-range stats across would be fine. I suppose cooking or cleaning on the skills. Aspiration - family, knowledge, or pleasure. I really haven't played her much. She popped into the simsperiment challenge with Eugenia & the guys for a visit.

[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.
