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?

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).

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.

I'm fine with whatever you do for her stats, just be aware she'll probably have some "PT-itis" slouching all gape mouthed *snort*.

Dual aspiration is great for JL, too. I'm not really any ONE aspiration, but knowledge was the best (face it, I just want to be abducted/probed by aliens!) when I could only pick one.

Hmm, one maxed skill. . .either creativity or logic (creativity might be more "me" but the logic might increase my self sims chances at abduction--I've never had JL get abducted).

Aww, well I'm sure I'll just love your lazy little simself. I have a soft spot for those types.

Yeah, it's hard to pick just one aspiration. I find the dual thing really great for making characters for stories too. You can have so much more unique characters this way. I see a number of people doing the pleasure/knowledge thing. I guess we're all lazy nerds with short attention spans. *snicker* Who, me?!

Maybe I'll give you logic for the variety. Nobody has picked that yet. I might have you sewing some items, though, since I know you do that, right? Maybe we can sell some sock monkeys. Where did you download those from?

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

The sock monkey is from TSR.

As for the duel aspirations, I'm keen to make some family/pleasure sims (Percy Beaker, I'm looking at YOU!)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Cool. I'll try to find it.

Family/pleasure sounds like an interesting one. I'm loving the idea of romance/family too. Should be interesting.

Your simself's full name is JL Verde, correct?

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's the name.

How goes the sim packaging? Is your comp holding up?

I got everything I wanted burned with no fuss from the computer (even saved my "paintings" folder so Loki's art won't go bye bye should I have to do a full re-install).

But I did have one of those "bazillion browsers" moments and had to shut the beast down and come back in.

I'm ready to send JL over (sent you an email about it).
