strangetomato | 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 LOVE THOSE CLOTHES! *off to download*

That last picture made me giggle. Bad Erin, lol! But I can so see her as being the kind to watch the home shopping network all hours of the day and night, lol!

When you said "pregnancy hormones" I about had a heart attack. You were talking about Vidcund's, right? :P

Edited to add that I'm still looking for your H&M recolor. No luck yet though. Sigh.

I find it funny, we were talking about this in the sim_spam chat and I check my friends page and lookit there! You're talking about it too! :P

I just downloaded those like an hour ago! :D

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 :).

Oh, I'm glad it was news to someone, anyway. They're really cute, aren't they? I like almost all of the things that fakepeeps7 has posted so far. I love the little Maxis graphics.

I can totally see Erin spending too much money like that.

Yeah, those would be Vidcund's pregnancy hormones. :P The jury is still out on whether I'll ever have any of those myself.

Thanks for looking. I've had no luck at all.

It's the talk of the town, I guess. :D

What's this sim_spam chat thing I keep hearing about?

Yeah, me too. :)

Totally cute! The clothes and kids, both. And the kids have some unique looks that I haven't seen in Curious kids before. ^_^

Well, you know of the community sim_spam? Hold on, there is a link that will explain things a lot better than I could. You have to be a member of the community to see this post, 'cause its locked and all: http://community.livejournal.com/sim_spam/tag/%21%21%21%21chatroom%21%21%21

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.

We've all dropped the ball on naming Curious spawn- heck, I named Pascal's son Deimos!

But both names are nic-able, and I wouldn't be surprised if teachers kept calling him "Ryan" or something. I'd probably end up calling then Ry and Lax in my head while playing them (but I'm notorious for nicknaming my sims).

I'm a member of the community, but I don't participate a lot. I do drop by there occassionally and comment on a post, but I'm pretty much on the outside looking in. Sounds like fun, though.

It can be, but the chat tends to get reaaaaaaaally quiet at times. Its fun when people are talking, though.

They're cuties, for sure. Orion looks a lot like madame_ugly's Pierre Curious, I think. Mint is like an alien Pascal who sucked on a lemon.

Deimos sounds like a fine name to me. I guess I'm not in the know enough to even know why it's uncool.

I definitely saw him going by Rion, which people would take as Ryan. Lax or Laxy would be fine, if I didn't already have a Jaxy. Oh well... maybe she'll go by Gal.

*goes on a shopping spree* I adore that creator`s clothing for kids! And the twins turned out so cute!

Lol, it`s as if "Orion" is everyone`s first name choice of Curious male alien spawns. I`m guilty of it myself many times (the first girl is usually Andromeda).

I think I might win the most non-creative Curious spawn award though. Maxis Curious- nicknamed Max. :P

I know. I had no idea Orion was so overused. It has a nice ring to it, so I guess that's why. My problem with naming those kids was that I didn't have much of a plan going in. I put a lot more thought into it now.

Surprise, surprise... I already ideas for future children of some of my favourites. *wink, wink* (Though one of the male names was recently used by a couple of people on my flist, so that might be the end of that one too.)

No way. That was a GREAT name. :D

I'll bet it is. I can't even go there, though, since I barely manage to keep up with my journal comments as it is. :P

I LOVE those clothes, I just downloaded them. :D

I think I like Mint better, her personality is adorable- even if a tad annoying.

I kind of forgot Galaxy was a girl, I didn't even know until the last paragraph where you said "she". >_>

LOL, I usually name the girl Andromeda s well- d'oh. :)

*snicker* Great simmers think alike?

I like Andromeda. You could call her Andy. :D But now I will erase it from my mind...

My Pascal popped twin girls after his second abduction, I spent a good long time trying to decide on names for them.

Solaris (Blond hair)
Lunaris (Black hair)

And little Galilean absolutely dotes on his little sisters.

I was tickled pink when I realized the hair colors fell the way they did

www.solarviews.com/eng/terms.htm FTW!

I love hitting that site up for my alien names usually
