Strangetown extras: The creation of Lyla Grunt

[strangetomato]

I decided that I wanted to actually show Lyla Grunt in the next Strangetown chapter, and since I'm not about to mess around with the one in Olive's cemetery, I created my own version in CAS. Also, judging from what I've seen with the ghost Lyla, she doesn't exactly measure up genetically, so I took some liberties. I created her from extracted versions of Ripp and Buck. Since Tank resembles Buzz so much, that seemed to make the most sense. I already mentioned that Ripp has her eyes, so I was sure to keep that accurate too. Anyway, I got so excited with the results, that I thought I'd give a little sneak peek.

Here's Lyla with toddler Buck. He's so cute I could eat him! (Isn't it scary when people talk about eating babies? Yet everyone does it!) I made my own nose for Lyla, but everything else came from Buck or Ripp, and mostly Buck, I think (all of her cheek, chin, and lip area is Buck's, and the eyebrows might be Ripp's. The boys all have pretty similar eyebrows anyway).

I think that Lyla turned out quite pretty. It bodes well for any future daughters that Ripp or Buck may have.




Awww. Ripp is Mom's boy, of course. Now that Lyla has a face, it's even sadder for me.




This one is just so you can see her from a frontal view.




And one more of lazy little Ripp, because I just love him! What a little punk. The first thing he did when I dropped him on the lot was rush to the television too. He's so predictable.

That is awesome. I adore these shots of her with her boys. Her looks came together very nicely. I like that she's more motherly than modely. She's pretty, but she fits in. Toddler Buck and lazy Ripp are adorable! That nose and cheeks on Buck makes me smile, you can really tell it's him. I hope his thin hair isn't a sign of things to come later for him, lol. So does this mean Lyla might be alive and making a reappearance, or will this be for flashback purposes? I'm looking forward to finding out!

I like how she worked out. I didn't have to do too many alterations from the randomly generated sim (just the nose). She's so much better for not being model perfect.

I think the Grunt boys are just too cute for words as children. I can't handle all the cuteness.

Well, we can't prevent baldness from happening, now, can we? :p Maybe this will happen much later down the road...

As for the flashback vs. reappearance question, I can't really say, for fear of ruining the surprise, but we will see, we will see...
