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?

Aww, Strange Tomato and her tomato garden, how cute!
Well Van is currently involved in an asylum challenge, but I wouldn't mind giving her to you if you want her! :D

[simpathology.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'm game. I'm at work so don't have access to D. Marie at the moment (she's safely on my home computer) so I'll send her your way this evening. The only CC I have on my self-sim is a freckled skintone; if you'd prefer not to inherit that let me know and I'll repack her with another before I send.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The nice thing about simselves is they can be in more than one place at a time. ;)

I'd love to have Van. One can never have enough employees that like to fart and swing from the door of the fridge. (Does she play pirates too?) Now you just need to decide what special skill she should have. I assume you'll want something creative, like music skill. It's too bad sims can't make jewelry. That would be great for a business.

I'm going to accept whoever sends someone along by this evening (or maybe even sometime tomorrow - it'll take a while to set up the lot). If it's more than seven, I'll just add them to another house and hire them to come to the businesses. Just seven for the main lot, though, obviously.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer her without the cc skin, if you don't mind, or at least tell me which default skintone you'd prefer, since I won't be using the cc skin. I can add freckles, though, if you want.

I don't have any issues with cc clothes, if it's something using a common mesh (like those untuckables). Just run it by my first. I don't want to clutter up my downloads with a bunch of meshes I'll never use.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've never submitted a self-sim, but that sounds pretty fun. And if that'll keep you entertained and happy, the better.

Heh, in case my real-self gets fired (not likely, but there's still the "danger" of that O_o), at least my sim-self would get to have a job in the mean time! :D.

Sure, I'm in! Just let me extract her from my backup neighborhood.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

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.

[simpathology.livejournal.com]

Okie-dokie. I'll get her ready when I get home and send her your way this evening; the only reason I use the freckled tone for her is because of my own overabundance of spots so she'll be okay with just the default skintone 1. I'm still trying to figure out just how I have blonde hair and freckles while the rest of my family is olive-complected, freckle-less and brunet....

I hear you on the common meshes. I'm pretty sure she's chilling in Maxis-wear but I'll doublecheck on that too.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Any Maxis content or recolours are fine, since I have all the EPs/SPs, like the good consumer that I am.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

It's so fun seeing her in all these things! Haha, yeah Van can be really entertaining with her 9 Playful points. Unfortunately she's not a bathtub pirate. I think only active/playful sims do that all the time. And yup, she definitely should be creative. Making jewelry would be great for a business! Oh well, at least they have the sewing machine, that's great too.

I can't wait to see what happens when this gets started. Where are you having this little thing located? It better not be Strangetown, because if Ripp is there she would not be able to focus at all, lol. I put her on my downloads page again here with her stats.

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

You may use me. I'm in a post at allsims. Very easy to find. I come with cc, but you don't need to keep it if you don't want to. Details are in the post. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Okay, well I'll give her maxed creativity. (Everyone gets maxed something.)

I'd like it to be in Strangetown, just so I could pass on my business perks to someone, but I think I may take it elsewhere. (Though, seeing random cameos by simselves in the story would be funny too...)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll be using the default skintones and eyes (well, Lyran's eyes), for sure, so which one should I use for you?

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

S1, light blue eyes. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

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.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And yay for maxed out creativity! :D
I was just kidding about me not wanting it to be in Strangetown- I'd love to see if they ever randomly pop up in your scenes!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

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

[simpathology.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll probably drop her into one of my fave OFB recoloured outfits, it looks very cool to me.

Hmmm, I'll put stats and such here for you.

Neat 5
Outgoing 5
Active 4
Playful 8
Nice 2 (...my simself is playful and mean. Pranking ahoy? O.o)

Aspiration: Knowledge
Secondary Aspiration: Grilled Cheese

And if we're going to have one maxed skill, I'd be cool with having maxed Mechanical. Even if I can't properly close a tag.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

I'll grab JL for you when I get home (computer willing, of course).

I don't really have stats for JL (nothing that HAS to be a certain way). But she is rather lazy and not so neat (the rest is up in the air). I like to make her a Capricorn (my sign) but sometimes I fiddle with the "laziness" so she doesn't slouch and mouth breath so much (in real life, I do slouch but NEVER mouth breath!)

Aspiration: I've never given any version of JL a secondary yet. Main aspiration is knowledge. Secondary could be pleasure (I do enjoy changing into my pjs!)

I only have two requests for JL. 1) Has to be fat (if she gets skinny while you play, that's ok, but she has to start fat). 2) No adult content (really not an issue with you but I just have to say it--NO NIPS/PUBES on JL, please).

Aside from those two things, you can do anything you want/to her (including switching the gender, she makes an odd looking guy--not surprisingly).

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll set her as Capricorn, and then take it down to like 3 in lazy and neat, if I can. How does that sound?

Ooh, another knowledge/pleasure combo. That's what I go with now too. I've always flipped back and forth between the two for my simself, so dual aspirations is cool with me. I also have family tendencies, but a big NO to the baby side of it, so I don't ever use that one (though I did the very first time I played the game... before I knew about that).

No pubes. You got it. I'll try to resist the urge to add them just for you. *snicker* Fatness is, of course, no problem either.

I'm giving everyone one maxed skill to start out too, so take your pick.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be happy to have someone with maxed mechanical, I'm sure.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll test the new FT hood with this. I've hadn't even checked it out at all yet.

[mjo5oh.livejournal.com]

I would be super honored if you used my self sim!!

She should be an Aries. The aspiration should be... well, you already have knowledge/pleasure sims, so I guess mine should be Fortune/Family. The only CC included is the hair, but you can change it if you want. Oh, and for some reason my default eyebrow replacements were packaged in it too. If you have skinnier ones, it'd be a lot more realist. ;) My self sim would probably appreciate a make over as well!

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

All right, here's my simself.

http://www.box.net/shared/mo2d5w2io4

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!

[zepheera.livejournal.com]

I'll send you my simself if you've still got space for her, she's a plant lover, so gardening or flower arranging is best, but anything you need for her to be is fine
