Adventures in OFB

[strangetomato]

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): xel_squirgle_ox, pixel_and_bean, mjo5oh, simgaroop, simpathology, (front row) hidden_kitten, and waywardgaze.

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




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

*snort*

I TOLD you JL was lazy. And, quite frankly, I've never been a fan of gardening. At least not since being enslaved as a wee child to tend my grandparents lot (and being menaced by tomato worms--aaaahhh, I hate tomato worms).

And if the other ladies don't want to share a hair do, JL's willing to get a buzzed head (I'm tempted to strip off my real life hair again, too, it's damn HOT out)

[franwi.livejournal.com]

Hehe, my family had a farm when I was little, and I'd always get sent into the patches to pull veggies because it was always swarming with garter snakes, and my dad was afraid of snakes, lol. Nice parenting and cheap child labor.

I don't mind sharing, but it looks like it could get confusing, doesn't it? My hair doesn't really look like that either, but it was the closest I could find in that color. Maybe there's something more fitting from an EP or SP I don't have.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Hmm, there's a really cute cc hair. . .I'm not sure where it's from but it's long hair pulled up into two little folded over pigtails (they make little loose hairballs right at the base of the skull).

I'm using it in my asylum (and I'd put it on JL, too, it's that nice). There's also a really cute hair that has a barette (longish bangs pulled to the side in a clip, little piece falling over the face).

[franwi.livejournal.com]

That second hair with the clips is the one I almost sent along instead! I had it on my selfsim for outfit changes like sleepwear. ;)

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

That goofy "hairball" hair I was trying to describe is being used as "bed hair", too. It's a nice hair (despite my lack of being able to describe it)

[franwi.livejournal.com]

I think I know the hair you're describing. It has really long bangs. Looks a bit more realistic than the Maxis stuff. I didn't want to include anything that didn't look more game-like, though. Question, in that pic of your selfsim on the hammock, are those eyebrows blonde? Just curious, I can never seem to switch hair/brows to different colors unless it's custom stuff.

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Hmm, now I have to look. JL's brows should be red. . .but I've noticed with some custom stuff, the eyebrows go wacky (Tabby Ish in my pixel_trade asylum has mismatched hair/brows--she has a funky custom hair--binned custom, too).
