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.

awwww! :D they are all so cute!!! Sismselves are always so cool!! Love them! :D
I have had such a great time playing with simselves too. :) You know they are not just 'any' cas sim (which i'm not particular fan of. :P ) and that makes them so special :)
Included or not, i know i'll enjoy your OFB adventure. Juts watching at everyone else's sims makes it awesome already! :)

Cheers! :D

[saunasims.livejournal.com]

Woo! AHahaha. I do have a soft spot for some good gossip. :P My only problem with this is that my Simself looks awfully comfy in her outfit! I miss my RL coveralls. :(

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT'S ME IN THE LJ CUT PICTURE!!!!
I'm loving this so far... Though I don't know if my selfsim understands your rowdy pub song! I'm sure after a while though, she will be there singing it right along with you.
Now, turn be back to a normal sim please? :D

[franwi.livejournal.com]

I really need to play Veronaville at some point. That street shot with Mr. Humble is just adorable. I do love those houses. Actually my real apartment building looks like those houses. And I ALMOST sent along a different hairstyle. Guess I should have. Twinsies! LOL. Mme's got Ikichi's outfit, too! Well, maybe she's a trend setter and we're just fashionably impressionable. I can't believe you have plantsims already! I love how you're using them to slave through the night, lol.

[simpathology.livejournal.com]

Pfft, JL is just full of energy, ain't she?

It definitely looks like a lot of fun so far. I'm somehow unsurprised that there were two plantsims so early on, especially if they were gardening fiends. I might be surprised if my simself actually did much work without throwing a major bitchfit; I can barely make her do anything in my game without getting either a "You've gotta be kidding" or "Grah! I don't wanna!" look unless it's something to do with studying. Or macking on Lazlo. She does love that....

*still loving that recoloured outfit and has her Wierdsville Lyla Grunt chilling in it too*

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

This is really cool. Nice to see tham all working so hard, especially JL. ;)

[simfulacts.livejournal.com]

I'm rather tempted to make a self-sim now just I can see myself added... :P

[80sfiend.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I'd love to add my self-sim!!! I'll figure out how to do that tomorrow if I get a chance. :D :D

[delirium210.livejournal.com]

maybe I should make a simself, I really would like to garden too :)

[simsbarbie.livejournal.com]

How cute!! Is your SO going to draw another picture for your sims use? And will it be available for DL? And what does SO stand for? LOL

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mjo5oh, I know I said I love your community, but let's not get carried away okay? :D

Fun times. I'm glad I didn't send myself in the same outfit ikichi and madame_ugly are wearing.

Madame, have you let your hair grow that much? I'm surprised! Though not surprised to see you lounging whilst others toil in the hot sun.

Now I have Gardening at Night in my head. *hums* We fell up not to see the sun...

[dragancaor.livejournal.com]

If you're still on the prowl for self|sims then you can have mine if you like.
Looks like you've got heaps on your plate already to deal with though... unless too many join madame_ugly & avoid work =P

[swhedonberry.livejournal.com]

Someone's plantsimmed already!! Sweet mercy, you're going hardcore with this project!

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

*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)

[music-simbol.livejournal.com]

Sooooo coooooooool.

People are plantsims! HA HA HA HA!!!!

I can't wait to see more. I wonder how I am as an employee. :P

(Aww, you made your SO. Isn't that cute? Does he know? Does he approve of his likeness? And it's pretty darn cool he's going to make you another pic. Of the trio, or other characters?)

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Already a PlantSim?! That's some kind of record! (especially because I've never had a PlanSim in my game, and I've trying to get one on purpose.

Well, at least that means I'm now a Gardening Master :P, and therefore would keep a bonsai alive for one year (that was a project in HighSchool, and mine was the last in my class to die, two weeks before the school year ended, so I lost the extra credits I'd get from that task :P).

Hee Hee, it seems you are having fun with these sims. I'm glad for that ^^

[abbycat900.livejournal.com]

If you want my simself, I could upload her!

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

I love how I managed to dork out at dinner. :D

Oh, and Theo has a new version of the skin unlock that just unlocks the alien skin, so you won't get any unbreedable zombie townies. It's at the site Pixel pimped out last week. (Did the bluefro file come through?)

edit: AND I'm the first one to clean her plate! hahaha! She tried to get seconds, didn't she? I wonder how long it'll take me to hit fat (and then cry, because I will NEVER look as hot as the fat sim girls do).

[cambritariatale.livejournal.com]

Still recruiting? My simself's not getting a lot of play-time in my game anymore, so you're free to have her for a while... =P

All the relevant information should be in the pack description... I hope. >.>'

[hviw.livejournal.com]

What are they eating?

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

*applauds* Great fun! XD

Oh . . if my Selfsim shows an attraction to an odd guy - roll with it! *snickers*

[mjo5oh.livejournal.com]

HOW DID I MISS THIS?!??!

I remember uploading my sim for you... good thing I checked Van's download page because she mentions she's used in this, so I went searching.
That's just me; moving the friendship train a lil too fast... :)

Are you going to update more of this? I'm excited now that I know it exists (looks like I missed it by almost two months though... wtf?)
