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?

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

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.

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.

You may use me. I'm in a post at [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

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).

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!

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

[identity profile] ikichi.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanna work for you! I'll send all the info with myself. ^__^ (Don't worry, I Maxified myself- well, the outfit's a recolor- so you won't have the bluefro of DOOM in your files).

[identity profile] saunasims.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
If you still need 'em, I'd be happy if you used mine! :D Err. Just need to make it first. *runs around*

Reading this inspired me to find my old self-sim, realise I lost it in the last uninstall/reinstall, and remake myself again out of sheer stubbornness. Want to have the first go with this version? :)

[identity profile] redqueenofevil.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm happy to contribute one too, although last time I tried packaging files, my game crashed.

*squeak!*

[identity profile] silentsteel.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
*hophophop* Could you use my Selfsim? :D I'd be jazzed to send her along!

[identity profile] music-simbol.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I see 56 comments already, but you got room for one more? :D

[identity profile] pixelcurious.livejournal.com 2008-06-06 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't need anymore, do you? Ah well. It sounds like a lot of fun, and a good break from orchestrating a multi-branching plotline and giant cast of characters.

Speaking of giant cast... no, I don't think you need my selfsim! You already have too many. You can't have her. *sticks out tongue*

I'm probably a bit late to the game but here's my selfim if you are still interested. :)

http://www.esnips.com/web/bcgummy-Sims/


She's under the name Cindy Selfsim.


The only CC included is her hair, a lipstick, and a mascara. She's in a Sims2Pack file.

Aspiration: Family/Pleasure
Starsign: Taurus in real life, but more like Pisces for sims.
Hobby: Nature
Turn ons: Facial hair/blond hair/hard worker/high logic (pick and choose)
Turn off: cologne


((hugs))

INSANE! LOL. Sounds like fun. At this rate you'll have more employees than tomatoes. Can't wait to find out how the business goes.

[identity profile] hathakleen.livejournal.com 2008-06-07 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Aha, I've tried doing a farmer's market sort of business before, but I was a bit disappointed because the whole idea behind it was to have all plantsim employees who could be assigned to talk to the plants. As I recall, that wasn't something I could make them do, so I got discouraged. This project of yours sounds fun, though! I'd love to help out, of course to do that, I'd have to go back home and fix up my selfsim and everything and then bring her to anywhere with internet again, because I don't have it at home right now. But you probably don't need me, anyway :)

[identity profile] sofieamalien.livejournal.com 2008-06-07 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] swhedonberry.livejournal.com 2008-06-07 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
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!

[identity profile] blissfulrain47.livejournal.com 2008-06-07 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[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.

[identity profile] lovelysims.livejournal.com 2008-06-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
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.
