Justin is a great dad, too bad the kids are getting deleted (IF experiment failure)
They had twin girls G and G2 (was going to rename after age up).. but never got the IFs in the mail, they were married and happy, why they didn't get the dolls I have no idea.
@Charlottesmom Gotta keep tweaking until you are happy! Even my old, favourite sims, have evolved over time.
Ooooooh, I've never thought to look that closely at the engagement ring. I do like the way it shines, though, because many a time I have only seen an engagement because of the flash of light from the corner of my eye.
Poor babies - didn't even live long enough to get names
I have IFs turned off but in the brief time I had them I don't remember many kids not getting them.
Good luck with your next attempt.
@Mikezumi , I tweaked Jude even more, I actually like him now, though seriously my Sims are all looking alike!
This is Jude now...good lord trying to get the barfy green out when the goal is to get a perfect medium brown is very difficult!
Dang it, got a bit of Kip's undies, I wanted him to look nekked!
and one of Kip...
The funny part about the engagement ring is they both put engagement rings on each other in the wedding ceremony.. The babies were "named" G and G2, I couldn't think of anything I liked spur of the moment, that family is in my library but will delete them and only keep Justin, the kids are funky looking, Becky should NOT breed!
@Charlottesmom so i'm not the only one who loathes that green in the medium brown hair?!
Is Kip related to your profile avatar picture? That avatar is one hottie... he can sink his teeth into me any day.... ufff
@Charlottesmom To get rid of the barfy green, go towards the red slightly but also go towards the middle of the wheel to get more neutral browns. Jude does remind me of one of your other sims but I can't put my finger on it. Which of your sims did you use as a base?
@Charlottesmom To get rid of the barfy green, go towards the red slightly but also go towards the middle of the wheel to get more neutral browns. Jude does remind me of one of your other sims but I can't put my finger on it. Which of your sims did you use as a base?
@Mikezumi , I was all over that dang color wheel, I just kept getting just a tinge too much red, or yellow, I wanted neutral, so no red, no gold, but it seems this wheel, when it’a a semi nice brown gives that greenish yuck tint. Coming from both an art background and hair coloring background it infuriated me, but will keep working on it.
Jude’s base is Connor (I thought that was funny when I first started creating him due to my The Fosters viewing as on the show Connor and Jude are a couple). He looks like one of my other lesser used guys though, can’t recall his name right now will try to find him.
Actually re-looking at Jude he almost reminds me of Luke!
@bebasim , Nope, Kip was a random generated (in CAS) guy who’s base I really liked, there is tons of facial tweakage but I didn’t change any of his features just slidered them in to more “my type of guy” range, He reminds me of my YA Mortimer with that hair! I only have one Sim who is directly created from Vladimere (Avatar Sim) my evil fairy Stephen.
See that is what I mean by all my guys are starting to look the same...will create another guy from a CAS sim who is out of my “comfort range” today and see what I come up with.
@Charlottesmom One of the reasons I like to make sims based on real people, like Jared and Jensen, is because it makes me move out of my normal slider range. If I just try to make a sim based on features I find appealing, I would probably make lots of similar looking sims. My Spike, for example, moved me way out of my comfort zone with very extreme features.
I always make my neutral browns by moving closer to the centre of the wheel. Perhaps your colours look different to mine as I know colours can vary from computer to computer.
Sometimes I will change the numbers instead of the sliders to get a more exact coloring of what I want since the wheel is so large and can move a big chunk instead of just a smidge more. Good luck with him.
@bekkasan , I never played with the numbers but it would be a wonderful way to get the exact color, I usually just fiddle with the wheel and after I get a combo I like I save it. Going to make every effort to play with numbers today.
@Mikezumi , I had a few Sims on my first laptop that I really liked because they were based on real people (actors) and they were off the beaten path from my regulars (of course back then I had no regulars ). Of course my Jeff Gold is now obliterated, he was based of Jeff Goldblum and I adored him, he was the town flirt! I’m going to pick an actor and work on a Sim of him today, since my brain can’t handle story play.
Lee chatting with Devin Ashton from Bridgeport, I did do some minor tweakage to him..
Killed off an extra L (it hurt me more than it hurt him! ) I should have checked his needs before I offed him now he'll forever have to pee poor guy!
I saw the repair woman get zapped out of the corner of my eye, too late to save her!
Kip in his undies, I may change his hair he really does look very close to my YA Mortimer..
Broody Sim Jude..
My new guy Miles:
Meggie and L:
That "look"
Brothers Lee and L:
Original L strolled into the shot and ruined it! Extra L was the one who aged up and was "done away with" as L is only 30 so still a YA, I just like the Birthday cake and blowing out the candles..
I bet I know what he wished for!
Meggie and VJ in an unused kissy scene..
LOL!!
There is a reason (two reasons really) why I named her Debbi Chesterson, not sure what it was though..
My SS playing a psychologist, yeah she's the relationship expert!
Extra Meggie and extra VJ did this all by themselves!
Extras in back of the school:
DISTURBING!! Jared that is your nephew's Wife!! Kate is such a flirt though she probably started the flirting, they are not related at all in this save though, it was still shocking to see.
I just found this so don't know if it's any good but you never know.
Edit to add: Now that I see the image closely, I don't think it is much good as there are no neutral browns.
This is awesome i'll have to try these. I usually do use the Hex code as it's what i'm use to but i think it might just be my monitor that is needing upgrading? Not sure there are times i get more green than i like.
@Charlottesmom - lol he is cute and your avatar mmm mmm delicious! I love kips eyes..
I am the same, this is why when i went to university and around different worlds i saved some sims, i think i too tend to stick to similar looking sims. I did base my first two sims on my SS and my Hubby but when i started creating my own in CAS i found they were all almost a like, since the pc upgrade a lot are gone but, yes i can completely understand this.. I'm curious to see what you will come up with
Original L strolled into the shot and ruined it! Extra L was the one who aged up and was "done away with" as L is only 30 so still a YA, I just like the Birthday cake and blowing out the candles..
I bet I know what he wished for!
LOL!!
There is a reason (two reasons really) why I named her Debbi Chesterson, not sure what it was though..
Thank you for my afternoon laughs. OMG that sink scene and... I'm still laughing.
Its nice to know i'm not the only one who's sims do random weird things, i can't help laughing at them sometimes. This is a great idea keeping a thread just for laughs.
RE L's double... at least you can control your double... i took my sims back to uni as i need some scenes there and i wouldn't be able to recreate those buildings in that way. Ummm one of the characters who look i liked and saved (yet to be introduced) decided to meet his sim self... and as they are identical in their personalities, yikes love hearts were on. I have a picture where Michael is staring at who is who.
They are funny got to love them! The free will is sometimes very amusing and sometimes deadly....
@Charlottesmom Devin looks cute! I think I tweaked him once to put in one of my saves.
Poor spare L! You could have let him pee first!
Why would you try to save a repairwoman anyway!?
I tend to associate certain sims with a hairstyle but, since there aren't that many good male hairs available, I am forced to use them over and over.
Miles could do with a sandwich!
LOL at you and your extras! Did you go back or did you just age down the spare L to age him up again for the birthday?
I did wonder about the name Chesterton! LMAO
Your SS looked great as the shrink!
Naughty Kate! I do remember her being a tad flirty
I seriously only have 7 filled houses in this town, all are story characters, I have different configurations of the families and obviously at least 4 Meggie's, and VJ's and numerous other doubles and triples!
This had me both laughing and a bit freaked out, poor Meggie is obviously scared of VJ...and boy is he in stalk mode right here...
What could I do...they had instant hearts for each other right when I moved Kip in! They did it, not me...
WOW 7 houses only filled you have been a busy girl lol
I love Meggie's face and VJ stalking her in the background there it's hilarious that expression, scary too... Yikes
you certainly have managed to capture some interesting moments
@Charlottesmom I don't know how you do it! I remember a save where I ended up with a whole cloned household and just seeing them in town confused the heck out of me!
See, Meggie knows what you have planned for her! LOL
Yeah, sure, don't take any blame! They cuddled in the hot tub on their own
Still, they did give you the cue by getting hearts for each other
I freaked out the first time I saw a vampire death but they are pretty cool!
Lovely shot of Parker and Ethan jamming
@bebasim , I was just concentrating on Jude and Kip, they are my new cutie couple since Light and L are no longer together I have some really cute pictures of them together but I’m all about L and Meggie now.
@Mikezumi , Kip got in the hot tub all by himself then there may have been a bit of nudging...but yeah the second Kip strolled through the door Jude was like “awwwww, a gift for me!!”
**That look on Meggie’s face was perfect in the grand scheme of things, I wasn’t controlling either of them, just watching.
**Everyone is dressed different so I know who is whom, I was still suprised by the sheer number of Meggie and VJ Sims I had though...5 each I believe with the new ballet Meggie I just added.
**I killed off Liz from Uni when I made her a vampire awhile back it was awesome!
Darian...He's going to be everywhere, I can tell already! (though I should probably test him in game before I start adoring him)..
Darian Before..he was a slider makeover I did:
Meggie after Jared put her in a time out for skipping school (I made her skip school as I needed her for some screenshots and didn't want to wait..) I love how they stomp all over, being grumpy.
Spent a few hours setting up for the rest of the updates I'm thinking 4-6 more tops. WHY is MOL*LIE plumming???? Changing her name to Molly hopefully that will not plum!!
I was just messing around taking screenshots..I did make up a new family as I needed a new Sim for *something* later in the story.
Darian was Not happy where I originally plopped him:
"Please move me out of this he*ll hole!!" (he was living with Lee and his girlfriend Eve, Eve was really mean to him!)
So he became Debbi's live in boyfriend..(Debbi is Miss Chesterfield-- Miss Black's assistant)
Much happier...
I built this one awhile back it is now where the Chesterfield family lives..
The dad (Irving) is a single dad and has 5 kids + Darian all living under his roof.
Brook is the oldest
Debbi
Molly and Charles are twins
and Joe (Female) she's a tomboy.
Left to Right:
Charles (his profile anyways), Brook (Redhead), Darian, Molly and the little girl in the hat is Joe.
Another view to meet the dad, Irving in the blue sweater.
Some randoms...
Charles playing soccer while Molly and Debbi play on the swings.
Joe and Brook playing hopscotch..Brook was losing miserably!
Molly looks embarrassed by her sisters constant making out with Darian..Miraj was so cute in the background!
I got everything set up and just started looking around seeing what was going on around town, while controlling Molly..
Ethan enjoying his rainbow snowcone (LOL!!), VJ trying to concentrate on his homework.
Why I still have Light in my saves escapes me but here he is with Becky (Miss Black), I thought it was cute he was hanging out with her..
I sent Molly over for an introduction..
"You look great for a Sim who's been dead for almost 8 years!" (Guess she knew of Light's untimely demise..)
The next 3 minutes was giggle worthy for me...Meggie, Meggie, and Child Meggie all showed up with no prompting at all from me..I guess the odd were pretty good with the 5 billion Meggie's I have around town.
"Something feels...off" Meggie ponders...as her dead father chats with a strange new Sim.
'It's probably just the wacko behind the keyboard...' she thinks as she rolls her eyes.
Child Meggie can obviously see her deceased father...
and Light can see child Meggie...I have to get rid of alive Light and child Meggie.
Then it was invasion of the VJ's!
Lee doesn't belong here in SV!!
Though he was having fun...
At least Molly found it funny..
The Pet Shop I built a while back..( @Silverofdreams30 reminded me with her pet shop pictures that I built one (I totally forgot) and barely ever put it in my towns.)
VJ exploring..I had to do some redoing but will try to remember more pictures of the inside tomorrow.

Parting shot...Yup L that pretty much sums it up..
@emorrill , Only one of the houses...no cancel that Two on the houses are furnished, when I get the other two done I'll list it if you want or I can list it tomorrow unfurnished, I think I have one copy that has all unfurnished. Whatever you prefer...
