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?

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.

I read music_simbol's assylum story and it was pretty funny :D. I once tried to play one just for fun and failed so bad, all my sims died on the first day! (from a fire).

I also loved madame_ugly's, with the celebrity sims, so I was worried they'd die. Even Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, who I usually dislike so much!

Hmmm... as for stats, according to this quiz (http://www.personalitylab.org/tests/bfi_sims.htm):

Neat 8
Outgoing 4
Active 5
Playful 8
Nice 8

That makes 33 points, but you can only give 25 in CAS. So let's change it to:

Neat 6
Outgoing 2
Active 4
Playful 5
Nice 8

Aspiration: FAMILY
Second Asp: Knowledge. But I'm more a Family/Family person :P.

As for special Skill, you mean like a badge? Toy Badge, then! :P It sorts of makes sense, since I'm often making kids stuff and drawings for my students.

OT Hobby: Film and Literature or Arts and Crafts.

I'm at Bodyshop right now. The only CC I'm using is a Lyran eye and a Nouk hair (a curly ponytail), but if you don't want them in your game, I'll take them out.

I'm going to give you a maxed skill in one area, but I can also have you work towards your toymaking badge, if you want. That sounds like fun.

The Lyran eye and Nouk hair are fine. Those are both things I already have in my game anyway.

I can also give you the 33 point personality, if you want. I'll use InSIM. :D

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

All right, here's my simself.

I actually just discovered that Bodyshop has a lot more options, so I tweaked her a little to make her more "accurate". Now I'm gonna send her to my sister to creep her out!

Custom content included:
- Nouk brown hair (curly ponytail)
- Lyran "Hazel" eyes
- Shirt from Shannanigan (TSR)

Everything else is Maxis stuff.
She's a chubby S1 sim with brown hair and eyes.

Oh, and to make things varied give her the max cleaning skill. She's also a Leo, not that it matters in the Sims 2 :P (and I'm an odd Leo anyway).

And I've forgotten we now have Insim to modify everything else! Yeah, much more convenient to use than SimPe!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

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.

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

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's a good choice. ^_^
