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?

I know. It should be fun. Care to join us? ;)

Ahhaha, I would, but I don't have a decent self-sim (not that she's indecent, but I think she's got some cc on her) and I can't remember how to package a sim. I know I had to extract Joe Carr with SimPE once, but that was so long ago. :/

I don't mind some cc. If it's just hair and clothing, we're good (I'll just change the eyes/skins to what I use).

You can package sims in Bodyshop. If you've extracted them in SimPE, they show up in BS (LOL at the acronym), and you can package them from there. I can give more details if you need them.

I'd love if you were a part of this. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.
