Ever wanted to snag one of the sims you see in my legacy or other sims ramblings? For the most part, my sims live at LL30 Sims, but I will be posting legacy offspring, etc, here. I'm hoping to avoid duplication, so if you don't see the sim you want here, check my profile at LL30 Sims or make a request.

LL30 Asylum dwellers will NOT be offered for download, except the children. You will soon be able to find them in Toddlerpalooza on LL30 Sims. Well, I did make Clarissa and she's available at my profile over there.

These will wear your default skintones, but come (sometimes) packaged with outfits, hair, makeup and eyes. Each rar contains a Sims2Pack containing sim and CC plus any pictures you see in this post to make it easy for you to identify them and their CC.

This is for the Simmer Below Me challenge on [info]pixel_trade .

[info]simsforaranya said "the person below me will be make a child sim with slanty dark blue eyes, S3, and defined cheekbones"

Meet Pauline!



She comes to you as a child, but I included pics of her as an adult so you know how she grows up :)

Here she is wearing a bunch of CC:



She comes to you packaged with the base game dress and hair you see in the first picture and she expresses your S3 and dark blue eyes. Look for her in the child section of CAS.

This is a retexture of Peggy's free mesh #5508 using Chokelate/Ninika textures. I did this mainly for myself, to make it match the hair in my game better and maybe finally use it. The file has been sitting in my mediafire account and recently I noticed that people seemed to be browsing through my public files and downloading it, so I figured that others might want it, too, after all.

Binned, familied, 2 reds, elder grey linked to black. I didn't take a picture of the grey but it's in there.



Download!

I didn't make any neons because I didn't have a use for them at the time I retextured this hair. If anyone wants them, just say so in the comments and I'll make the "usual" 14 neons using Pooklet's actions.

Don't try this at home kids!

Retexturing this hair gave me all sorts of headaches and caused me much aggro. And I think I was slightly insane when I decided to do the neons.

Anyways - here we have an alpha edit of Nouk's Lolita Hair. Original alpha edit done by Zesta02 on MTS, re-alpha-edited by me to get rid of the gap in the fringe/bangs. I only retextured the short alpha edit. I was going to do the long one as well but when I realised how much work it was (just retexturing the one alpha edit took me approx. 24 RL hours due to the insane amount of textures this hair uses - that's 24 continuous hours of effort, not 1 day of work comprising of a couple of hours of copy pasta) I decided that I would do just the shorter edit and leave the longer one alone.



This re-texture uses Chokelate's original Maxis match textures, as opposed to her newer, more natural textures that I was previously using. Non-chopped retexture by Chokelate can be found on GOS.

So shiny )

Named for the lovely Vanessa Anderson, who wore this hair with such flair <3

This is a retexture of Peggy's free mesh #5554 using Chokelate/Neena/Ninika textures. Because I no longer know what to call her.

Binned, familied, 2 reds, grey in black. I didn't take a picture of the grey but it's in there.



Download naturals!

I'm pretty sure the mesh is included with the naturals.

Don't ask about the title. I have no idea. It sounded good in my head at the time.

I've loved this skintone since I first saw it. It's a totally awesome spin on zombie skintones.

AS SEEN IN THE DORK LEGACY!!!

Well, kind of... This is one of the skintones that came with the Multi-PT hack [info]katu used at the time that Gizka was born in the Dork Legacy. And last night, while chatting to [info]bondchick_nett on MSN, with wilful abandon I promised to turn it into an alien default. And here it is, about 24 hours later.

Nobody wants the Aikea geeky tees converted for females?

Just in case you were worried about the "pixellation" I mentioned, this is what it looks like:



You see the area above where it says Crewman#6? That's the extent of it. You have to be looking closely to know that I moved the pattern around and then tried to cover up a great big hole in the chest.

Here's another one, this tee was totally unedited by me:



Basicaly - not good enough for GOS but totally fine to have in the game.

Anyway, hope you guys are having a good weekend!

Would anyone be interested in having female conversions of these Aikea geeky tees in their game? For TS2, obviously. I put them on HP's untuckable mesh and they look reasonable. I will be the first to admit that the female tees are not perfect because I am not an artist so I didn't even attempt to give the breast area proper shading to emphasize "the girls" and there is some pixellation in the chest area of a couple of the tees because I had to move the design around and I totally suck at blending so I was never going to be able to successfully make it look 100%. Also, the design on the "the sun is trying to kill me" tee really needs to be moved down on the female but since the conversion looked OK I didn't move it because I didn't want to introduce pixellation in the chest area in that one, too, so I left it.

If I get more than a couple of takers on this I will take pics and upload. If it's just a couple of people, I'll send links to the files via PM.

A clumsy reference to Roy Orbison, seeing as this post is all about 10 recolours of the Lady On Red base game painting (ie. No EP, no mesh required).

What did you think I was talking about?

Get your mind out of the gutter! )

Most of you know that I am still alive and kicking because I have been commenting on your posts, etc. This is just a message to the rest of my f-list to confirm that I am indeed still alive and still playing Sims games.

So what have I been up to?

I've returned to part time work. No more stay-at-home-mum for me, unfortunately. It takes me an hour and a half each way to get the kids to day care and then for me to skid into my office about 10 minutes before the first client of the day arrives. Being a psychologist, I do counselling and therapy all day (shock! horror! after all my years in simming communities (since Sims1 first came out) I finally admit to what I do for a living!). On the days when I work I arrive home after dark, physically and emotionally spent so playing Sims is out of the question because I basically pass out soon after I get the kids into bed.

I am actually playing TS2 at the moment and participating in Sims 2 Supernova's second legacy challenge. I've just been too embarrased to admit it here, because I've had a couple of legacies go belly-up due to technical difficulties. But if you actually want to read my new legacy ramblings, you can find them here at S2S. I am trying to be at least semi-regular with the updates and there should be another one by the end of this week. When the S2S challenge finishes, I will throw the Darcies back into my game. I was going to play them again but their hood number is the same as my new legacy hood number and hood cloning is a Very Bad Thing according to Pescado so I have to wait until I finish with the Andersons before going back to the Darcies. But I'm the Little Engine That Could when it comes to Amelia, Beatrice & Co so that legacy will get at least to generation 5. I've been through too much crap to keep it going for me to just give up.

I am also going to be making a few more paintings for TS2 this weekend. I will probably post them here and send preview images to Keely for LL30Sims. I haven't made any new sims lately because I've been trying to concentrate on actually playing and updating my S2S legacy. I was never a very prolific sim-maker, anyway, but I do miss mucking around in Bodyshop so I might have to fire it up soon. TS3 ate the last sim I made so I'm sulking in relation to that game. We might kiss and make up in the next couple of weeks, though.

I recoloured a Peggy hair! I gave it Chokelate textures and you can grab it here. No preview pics because I made it for personal use, but it's compressorised, binned and the gray is in the black file, mesh included. If I get my act together, I might alpha edit some of the flyaway bits some time in the future. Maybe.

So yeah - not dead, just sleeping :)

When life gives you lemons, make hair retextures. I checked the two most likely places to have gazumped me to this (GOS and [info]simgaroop ) and it appears that while this hair has been "Nouked" and retextured with another custom texture it has not been "Neenad / Chokelated". So I decided to have a go.



See my self sim be a CAS model! Wooo! )

Thanks to The Who for the set title :)

This is a set of 24 kid-themed paintings and 6 frame recolours. The source images for the paintings are by Marisa Bogg, who gave me permission to use her art in creating paintings for the game. The mesh is Shoukenir's Painting 36, which is not included and which you can find here. It is currently on page 18 of Sims2Play, but may move around inthe future.

These are adult female default replacements maternity outfits, as specified by [info]halesims  in a post on her journal. I need testers because in order to test these I would need to somehow randomly spawn 9 females who just happened to each wear a different maternity outfit. I know how much trouble I had testing the man-ternity set, so this time I am asking for help.

Only those with NL + BV + FT + H&M need apply )

OK - whoever is sick of watching sims drink water at the bar and then seeing people call them "lushes" and "alcoholics" raise your hand! They're drinking WATER for Goodness' sake! * looks at sea of upraised hands * Yeah, I thought so!

Well, actually... not any more!!!

I want to get me some bar bottle replacements! )
