For Music Simbol... Happy (belated) Birthday!

I didn't forget your birthday, [livejournal.com profile] music_simbol, but my gift couldn't be created with my game all messed up like it was. So please accept this belated gift: a little "family" portrait of some of your favourite sims. No, I'm sorry, it's not smut. :P The sim men in question are above that sort of thing. Try as I might, I couldn't even get them to take off their shirts.





This is how we take portraits in the Worthington family. :) Pretty classy, don't you think?

Apartment Life is going to be very good to the Worthingtons. They'll even have a butler now. I'm planning to spend some time fixing up their place with all the new snooty content. It's going to be awesome. You'll be seeing more of Frances and his family, and isn't that sort of like a gift in itself?

Happy Birthday, Music Simbol! As others have said, I hope you didn't transition into something embarrassing. :P

Thanks. :) You may notice that I edited the jeans Frances is wearing, though (well, maybe not, since you don't have the EP). They had... *sigh* rips all over them. The EAxis clothing designs will always leave me boggled that way. Their obsession with bared midriffs and ripped jeans is just annoying.

I'd love to edit that outfit to use one of the jeans that has rolled cuffs. You did an edit of an mesh like that once, didn't you? Was it hard to do?

The long sleeved sweater with the jeans and boots? I only edited the texture, not the mesh. All I did was select the sweater from one texture and put it over the corset top of the other texture. (Later I learned about bump maps, and I still haven't looked closely at it to make sure those aren't an issue. A lot of graphics cards can't handle bump maps, so they just don't display them. At least that's my understanding)

I did see Frances had a new outfit, and I thought it looked very nice. But I didn't realize you'd edited it. Looks like you did a great job. It looks like Maxis.

So would you be editing the mesh itself, plus the texture, to put rolled cuffs on his outfit? Or just the texture? I think you'd want to do both. I need to learn to work with meshes.
