Strangetown Extras: Worthington Portraits

I've been shooting some family portraits to make into painting recolours, so I thought I'd share one of the ones I've done so far. I think it came out pretty well.









They're standing in order of age, from back left to front right: Lillian, Edie, Charlotte, and Frances.

I like how easy it is to compare their genetics when they're side by side like this. As you can see, Edie's the only one who avoided their mother's non-chin.

I'm going to need a lot of these to decorate my new Worthington mansion, which I'll post about later (I'm really coveting Mansion and Garden stuff right now, but I'm supposed to wait for Santa to bring it). I'm doing some wedding portraits, and a couple of family group photos, and some baby stuff.

Oooh, super secret purposes? Sounds interesting. Do you have all of my Worthingtons? I know you have a number of them, right? I'd really like to have your Franklin to use as a relative in my family too. Maybe not as another sibling (since he'd be a baby for YEARS *snicker*), but maybe as an uncle. He could be Frances II's younger brother.

I love him. He gives off such a Dorian Gray vibe to me, and he's super cute.

It's a pre-mullet Edie. I imagine that she did that when she finally moved out on her own and got into the whole music scene.

You're right. They live in the outskirts of Sim City (that little area of downtown that's down the hill and by the harbour... I'm not even sure how accessible it is without a camera mod).

I like how there's a rich family in every hood. Don't forget the Beakers and the Capps. They'd fall into that category too.

It is. Very, very interesting. :P

Yes, I have all of them. I love them all. I've even started developing a crush on Lillian, she's amazingly cool.

Coolness! I'll upload him later. Franklin is so ridiculous, but I love playing him.

Yeah, I thought so too. I don't think her parents would approve of the mullet while she was living there.

Alright then, I'll stick them in a big house down there. Thanks!

Yeah, I didn't even think of the Beakers! But they are mega rich. Part of me thinks of them as New Money, even though the Beakers were already rich.

And the Capps and Monty's are super rich too, but I rarely remember them. (The Summerdreams are the "poorest" family in Veronaville. but they're rich too- I guess you have to have money to live there. Which is a good thing.)

It took me a while to find a house that was right for the Worthingtons. I was using one that came with the Glamour Life SP, but it wasn't big enough to include all the different rooms for the children, and I wanted at least two stories.

I ended up using a download from the official site. It's called 220 Wright Way, and once I get the landscaping and decorating finished, I think it'll be perfect.

Oh, and here's where it is in "Sim City" (I don't know why they called it "downtown" as if any of the hoods would have a downtown like that - it makes so much more sense as a separate city to me):



That's it on the bottom left. Their first place is still there on the cliff above. As you can see, I've been altering the downtown hood quite a bit. I even have an army base in the upper right corner there.

Yeah, I knew you used Forsythe Place, but I wanted a bigger house. Size, as it turns out, does matter.

And I completely understand you. I originally used it as Downtown Kodak, but it just bugged me that a Tiny Island would ALL OF THE SUDDEN have large buildings and tons of things that you can't even see from the mainland. I eventually said that they took a ferry to get to Sim City, which places Kodak on the Map. (Consistency? Who needs Consistency?)

And I C the Army Base buildings. Did you clone the Empty House next to the Grunt house for that? (And your Sim City looks gorgeous. I haven't done anything to mine.)
