Strangetown extras: The Curious children model some cc clothing

I'm sure that most of you are already aware of the lovely children's clothing that fakepeeps7 has been posting on MTS2 lately, but I just wanted to gush about it here anyway. Her latest upload, the Back to School Collection, had some great stuff in it.








Here they are: Mint, Orion, and Galaxy Curious.

You know... if I had my time back, I would have been more creative with the names for the twins, but it's too late for that now. Orions are a dime a dozen and Galaxy seems a bit too obvious for Vidcund. I'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones.

The twins are wearing items from the Back to School collection and Mint wears one of the Strappy Summer Sundresses.




I have no idea why Galaxy is so angry here. She's a really nice sim. *shrugs* This shot is just to show you the awesome spaceship detail there. The green clashes with her skin, but she liked the spaceship, so there you go.

Galaxy gives me the impression that she has no time for tranditionally girly stuff. There's the transition into that short hair, which I didn't change, and she also transitioned into a pair of overalls that is unisex. Her OTH is science too, so I'm just going to go with that.




Mint starts up a game of tag with Orion. Galaxy just chills out and watches.




*snicker* A turkey neck.




Orion: Got ya!

Orion is perpetually happy, unless he has to clean up, do work, or you tease him (and then he bursts into tears). His personality is 0/10/0/10/10 (the same one that Ripp has, but to the EXTREME), so I'm not surprised. He's great.




Orion: Now you're it!

Mint: NAH UH! You didn't even touch me!

Orion: Yeah, I did.

Mint: I want to play something else.

Then they play cops and robbers for a while.




Mint: I'm DYING!

Orion: Are you okay?




Mint: I really tricked you? Man, you're so DUMB!

Orion: I'm tiiiiiired. Want to play video games instead?

Check out the cool dinosaur graphic on the back of the vest.




Galaxy ignores her twin and sibling/cousin (yeah, that's right... one more tangled branch in the Curious family tree) to enjoy some quieter activities.




Galaxy: Is that heading for the Beaker mansion? Looks like Erin maxed her credit card again.

I think I've downloaded all of her stuff. She's a very creative person and her children outfits are not only extremely well done, but they are more than just recolors. Now that I'm playing a lot full of children, I can't wait to try out her stuff on them! :)

Your alien kids are adorable! My favorite is Galaxy and her tomboy-ish style :).

I agree. She makes great stuff, and it's mostly (all?) original meshes. They're well crafted and match the Maxis style, even to the point of using the same graphics from tee shirts, etc. I wholeheartedly approve.

Thanks. They haven't had a lot of exposure in the story yet, because they're just kids at this point. My interesting in writing about children is pretty limited, and their personalities are still forming. We'll see more of them later on.
