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?

Okay, so I was right. ^_^ I thought that one was you, based in the resemblance to your icon.

I can give you some freckles, no problem.

You can totally use Whedonberry as the surname. I think that I'm probably knowledge/pleasure. Most of my "support the habit" jobs have actually been in sales, so you're pretty on the money there. I can't wait to see what you do!!

Okay! I think I've got it. http://www.esnips.com/doc/3ad136d4-0013-40ef-8df7-5229410a5ef6/selfsim_hathakleen

She can go by the name of... er.. Katie Marvel. She's primarily a family sim, but her second aspiration can be pleasure. Her main skill is creativity, and her personality is as follows:

Neat - 8
Shy - 0
Lazy - 4
Playful/Serious - 5
Nice - 7

Not that it really matters, but it'd be cool for her to be a Libra, because so am I.
I tried for no CC except for a recolour of a maxis shirt, but to be honest, I don't know if it worked (specifically with her skintone and eyes), so she maaay need a bit of tweaking to get her to your liking.
To make it easier to find her in what is, no doubt, your sea of premade sims, I shall provide you with a brief description!

She's got the lightest skintone, blond hair, green eyes, and is wearing jeans and a plum-coloured shirt underneath a short grey jacket.

I hope she'll come in handy for something! I'm pretty excited for her to be involved, unless you've got too many sims running around and she doesn't make it out in the open.

(Sorry for filling up the comment area, I was doing something wrong when I thought I was doing it right and now I can't delete my other comments) Here are my selfsim's turn-ons and turn-offs.

Turn-ons: brown hair, creativity
Turn-off: stink

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.

I like those glasses, I shall have to download those. The leopard print might work best, actually. I'll let you use your best judgment.

Because I was curious if they still made the pair I wear, I found a picture of the frames I sport, if you're interested. Did I mention that I'm a glasses fan?

Because I'm nerdy: http://www.glassesonweb.com/catalog/christian.dior_abcd/eyeglasses/c.dior%203673%20strass%20/c.dior%203673%20strass%20/c.dior%203673%20strass%20/c.dior%203673%20strass%20/%20cd3673sts_gold_beige_pid97415.html


Distinguishing features... I have reddish hair and lt blue/grey eyes. I use a slightly modified version of face template 1, having little arch in my eyebrows, and a somewhat smaller mouth. I'm ridiculously pale with freckles (lightest skin tone as far as Maxis is concerned), though I have yet to find freckles I like. My hair is roughly shoulder length. I hope this isn't overabundant.

Turn ons include "Concert dress" or formal wear, and glasses. Turn off: stink.

I don't know if you want names or not. My name is Jill, but I use Susannah Kati for self sims.

Yikes! I feel like I'm writing a mediocre personal ad. Hope this helps though.

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

Thanks! That's great.

(It seems like you were able to delete those comments, after.)

Thanks. It was a great little personal ad. ;)

Oh, your glasses are lovely. I'll use the leopard print ones for you, even though they aren't quite as nice as the real pair.

[identity profile] blissfulrain47.livejournal.com 2008-06-07 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

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.

Hey, I was installing the last of the simselves (I haven't been working on my business since the last post) and when I opened your packaged file, it only contained clothing. You might need to repackage it and send it again, I think.
