Strangetown Extras: Love is blind

I'm working on Chapter 31, and I have an odd little extra to show you.








Don't look behind you, Phi!




Yikes.

Is he blinded by love, or is he just doing one of those stupid tricks little boys do where they turn their eyelids inside out to freak you out?

You decide.

I have to say that is one aspect of M&G that I do not like... the way the sims randomly stand around and take deep cleansing breaths, lol. Seems like when they are doing that and someone they know walks by, they keep doing the deep breath and at the same time look and smile with SCARY DEAD EYES. It's been happening to me a lot, lol!

I have a hack that makes them stop saluting the sun every time they walk out the door, but haven't found one to get rid of the deep breathing. :\

LOL!
Ripp is totally under a love spell *winks* :)

Yeah, I'd love to find a hack that at least reduces it.

In the meantime, it is the ultimate animation for setting up sexy photos. I used it (and the flower sniffing :P) THREE times in my sequence of Ripp's fantasies in the last chapter. The face really looks like they're getting off.

This is the first I've seen of the dead eyes, though. Very disturbing.

Just what have you been smoking, Ripp?

Totally. He's like a mindless love zombie. :P

I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT! I learned it in second grade!

You have no idea how much that scares me. D: DO NOT flip your eyelids inside out. I hate it.

[identity profile] showercapfrog.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
:( Ripp is suddenly a lot less attractive. That makes me sad. Also, WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN. I will have nightmares tonight.

(I haven't seen this happen in my game yet. That makes me very happy.)

I haven't reached that chapter yet! Ripp cut off his hair? I only got to ch. 24 so far. hehe :D

If that's Ripp, he hit the bubble blower too much, me thinks! ;P

Oh God YES! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was so needed.

Without his big blue eyes, what is he? He's just not Ripp anymore. It makes me sad too.

Nightmares for all. :P

Ooops. Sorry about the spoilers. XD You're a couple of chapters short of the haircut, but it's coming. (I love sim haircuts.)

Yes, yes, this is very likely the truth. Heehee.

Bananas!

Just kidding. That's just what came to mind with [livejournal.com profile] naughtydolphin's question.

I get the blank eyes all the time. I think it has to do with using custom defaults.

Thank you so much for that link!!!

Oh my goodness, that's terrifying. I had that happen to me with Donato, and I screamed. xD

It's so scary. I love how Phi is all oblivious while he's doing it.

And OH MY GOODNESS I HATE when people roll their eyelids or whatever it is, it scares me so much. Eyes in general scare me, it's why I don't have contacts.

Well, take my advice and never, I repeat, NEVER watch Un Chien Andalou by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. You will never ever get over it. I am still horrified every time I think of the eye slicing in the opening scene (and it was an actual cow's eye - no special effects).

It was EASILY the most shocking thing I've ever seen in a movie, and has left the most lasting impression. (And yeah, I didn't even bat an eyelash at the violence in Watchmen - even Hostel failed to leave any sort of impact compared to that eye scene.)

When I was a kid, my mum had contacts and I watched her put them in a couple times, and I thought the way they stayed in was that they were sort of like a thumbtack and that the pointy bit was inserted into your pupil. >_> I was still a bit paranoid about in 9th grade when I eventually got contacts. You have no idea how relieved I was to confirm that you in fact did not in fact them put them IN, you're really putting them ON. xD

That eye thing skeeves me out every time. My sims always have their eyes roll into the back of their heads when they do it, and it is just darn freaky. Luckily I found that hack that was linked up there a while ago, and my sims creep me out a lot less now. xD Why did maxis have to go and add all those idle animations with M&G? Weren't all the ones they added with Freetime bad enough? :P

Ouch. Are these contacts?

Nice icon.

Ok, seriously? I made a loud freaked noise at that. O_O

[identity profile] fishyface4kiss.livejournal.com 2009-03-25 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't had a sim do that in my game yet. And from how creepy it is I hope it never does.

Lasers chopping through the eyes in Resident Evil the Movie. No thank you.

Ugh. I'm glad I didn't see that. Eye stuff just creeps me out.
