Adventures in OFB








Thank you to everyone who has offered their simself for use in this little project. I was pleasantly surprised by how many of you volunteered. It's great. I love being able to get an idea of what you all look like.

This is just a little introduction. I haven't even added everyone to the game yet, but I'm working on it. So, if you don't see yourself anywhere, don't worry... I will show everyone eventually.




Strange: Hey! Glad you could make it. *waves like a crazy person*

Here's Strange, shortly after moving to Veronaville. She's now lived in all three of the original Maxis hoods. As you can see, she's pretty excited to be here, and she's eagerly awaiting her potential employees.

This is who I've added so far:




You know who this is, right? (Love those purple pants.)



The first wave (from left to right, back row): [profile] xel_squirgle_ox, [profile] pixel_and_bean, [profile] mjo5oh, [personal profile] simgaroop, [profile] simpathology, (front row) [personal profile] hidden_kitten, and [profile] waywardgaze.




The second wave (back row, left to right): [profile] silentsteel, [profile] ikichi, [personal profile] madame_ugly[personal profile] music_simbol[profile] saunasims, (front row) and [profile] franwi.




Some stragglers (left to right): umm, ignore that guy (it's my SO - I'm adding him as a customer), [personal profile] cindyanne1, and [profile] swhedonberry.

If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I'm still missing some of you, but don't worry... I was just waiting for more details (or the file). You'll be added.


Now, for a couple of little glimpses...




Mr. Humble: I don't know what the hell is going on here, but I DON'T LIKE IT. *fills with hate*

(Mr. Humble has some finely plucked brows, doesn't he?)




Everyone seems to be getting along just fine.




Pixel thinks it's a little early for a hug though, MJ. You might want to slow down the friendship train, there.




Franwi: Don't tell anyone, but JL is totally ripping off my hairdo.

Sauna: *likes gossip*

JL: I'm RIGHT HERE. I can hear you.


Time to rouse the troops with an uplifting folk song...






As a Newfoundlander, Strange is no stranger to a rowdy pub song. It works like a charm.




So, the work begins. The garden is actually a LOT bigger than this now. It's a full time job for 8 people (and a gardener).




Here's the dining room, where Strange has used one of her most prized possessions to decorate.

Oh, and I'm so excited... my SO has offered (yes, without me asking) to make me another drawing. He wants to do a "much better one," in his own words. Hooray! :D I get to benefit from his obsessive perfectionism.




Oh, look! The matchmaker is a zombie Meadow Thayler. That's nice.




All the gardening leads to a transformation for Xel_squirgle.




And also for Simgaroop.

The makeup doesn't really work with the plantsim skin, huh? :P I'll eventually change them back, but I'm liking how they can garden all night long for now.

*sings* Gardening at night...




Looks like JL won't be transforming into a plantsim anytime soon. Get back to work! Don't make me come over there...




She doesn't seem to be listening to me.

Oh well, at least she'll make an excellent cashier, with all those logic points.



So, that's it for now. If anyone else would like to be added to this, just let me know.

I couldn't see a very good face-on shot, but are they the round ones or the oval ones? My galsses are oval ;) (I don't know if you knew I had glasses :S)

Yeah, there isn't a good face shot in that batch, is there? I used these:

Are those too thick? I could go with these:

I went by the description that posted with your simself. I added your lip stud and silver hoop earrings, but I couldn't find a spider necklace. Do you use one in your own game? I'd prefer it to be a BV compatible jewelry item, if I were to download one.

I do my research. :P

lol, I appreciate your research. No, I don't have a spider necklace for my own game, it was more of a 'ohjust in case'. I make her wear a silver chain instead.
The secind link is much better. I prefer my glasses to blend in, not stand out. ...even if they are metallic pruple :D

Okay, I'll switch her to the other style, and I can add a silver chain too, just to be accurate. I'm a stickler for details. :P
