Back in action with Edie's outfit

[strangetomato]

Since homemadebird was able to supply me with a duplicate of Edie's outfit, I should be able to finish chapter 26 pretty soon. Edie is still missing makeup, but I might just have her go without, or give her something a little different. That's a pretty minor detail. Thank you for helping me out, homemadebird! I actually like your version of this recolour better than the one I used to have, since the jeans are less distressed. I'm quite pleased with it.

Edie: This new haircut has really done something to your brain.

Frances: Dance, dance, DANCE! I love to dance.

Edie: Yeah... you've lost it.



Edie's apartment is missing some of its cool wallpaper (I've looked, and can't find that same pattern), and I just noticed the blue vinyl blinds (eww) in the background where the wooden ones used to be. I'll have to redownload those, if I can figure out where they came from. Losing all of your cc is a huge pain in the ass, let me tell you. Everyone should back up their downloads folder. Believe me... you'll thank yourself later.

It does. She did a great job on it.

Yeah, that brown and pink wallpaper in the corner was cc. You can see it in the background here. I'm sure it was just randomly found on some smaller site, so I don't expect to find it. I'll just give Edie something new, and we'll just have to believe that they put up new wallpaper. I can explain a lot of stuff as redecorating. I don't even need to mention it, really.

I don't think there was any wallpaper with H&M. They did include some build mode stuff in that SP, though.

Awww man, that's awesome wallpaper. Very tastefully feminine. I hope you find it again someday.

And the new outfit looks great! :) I don't think new makeup will be too much a problem . . in fact, hmm. That eyeliner looks REALLY familiar. *cracks knuckles* Let me dig through MTS2, those look really similiar to a set I downloaded long ago - she has some really exotic stuff in there, but also several cute short eyeliners.

MWHAHAHA~! Found them! The whole set's pretty crazy, but there's several very nice semi-gothy short liners, and one in particularly that really reminds me of her old eyeliner.

And isn't her lipstick from Rensims?

Oh! The liner in that set I'm specifically referring to, she named it 'Winged Liner'.

Oh, thank you! One of those does look really close. I'll test it out. (I just got home from work early, so I'm going to attempt to shoot that scene now.)

The lipstick is actually by HystericalParoxysm, and added it back soon after I started to rebuild my cc collection. I use her lipsticks a lot because they're not shiny and they have a translucent texture. They're subtle and look nice on a lot of different sims.

It was a really nice wallpaper, and I really hope I find it again some day (for now, I think she's going to paint that wall red or get another funky wallpaper). I loved those whimsical stars. It really seemed like something Edie would like. I'm sad to lose some of her decorations, since I did put quite a bit of thought into her place.

You're welcome! I hope it works. :)

I'm in love with HP's lipstick set - Which reminds me, I need to re-download them. ^^ I like using another, superglossy set of gothy colors for my more 'glam' ladies and gents though . . can't remember who made it.

If you find it again, could you let me know? I hadn't outright noticed it the first time around, but now that I've given it a long look (so if I find it first, I can tell you), I really like it! (Psst, there's a lot of wallpaper with that kind of feel in the Ikea stuff pack, of all things! O_O Not that mix of colors though)

I tried it out and it's a very close match, so it works just fine. ^_^ Thank you. The key was how much liner is showing under the eye. Edie's old makeup was like that too.

If I do find that wallpaper, I'll let you know. I'm going to do up a resources list one of these days too. I've been working on one here and there for a while now.

I have that SP already, but I'm waiting for SimPE to get updated, and maybe the lot debugger too. I've heard that Ikea Stuff breaks it, and I've been using it a lot lately (to give adult sims who start the game that way a uni degree, since it makes it more realistic).
