I haven't done this kind of challenge before, but I think I get the idea. I'd like to create Harper Lee and Truman Capote if they have not been taken yet (it didn't look as if they had been).
So just clearing it up, the people are due tomorrow and then we will build homes for them next week? Do the same people who made the Sims for the challenge also get to make the lots?
I feel like something just isn't right. I know that I can't get hair that is anywhere near accurate, and I can't lower the brow further without getting the slider hack. Can I get a little constructive criticism?
hey can i try Malcolm x? her seems the only do-able one for me. if i can't do it i will try but i want to brush up on my sim making abilities. so a malcolm x from the 60's?
Peacemaker, Malcom X. Got it!
Kayllisti, Got you for Capote and Lee.
Transcendental, Eyes look great! I've had problems not getting eyebrows low enough ,too. I wonder if change something in the head settings could help with that? Haven't tried it. The only other thing I would maybe try is making the upper lip a little skinnier and the mouth a teeeeeny bit wider. I also like Mmyoko's suggestions of "more smiley," maybe corners up a little?
Mmyoko, yes, we will be housing them all. As far as preference for those who created the sim, I haven't decided yet...
ok so i started straight away and here is what i got. i would like an opinion. i know of Malcolm X from History but i would like some opinions on how i went with the recreation. i think its coming along but see for yourself:
also don't know whether to do with lots of hair (in comparision) and a goatee like pics i have seen.
We have been talking a little about the project on the Builders' Boulevard site (http://www.buildersboulevard.com). Basically, this will work like the Gnomelandia project about 3 weeks ago with a couple of (hopefully) improvements. On Tuesday evening, you will see a list of over 60 lots for sign-ups to build an entire 'hood themed in the '60s. These families will make up the community there. We are also looking for talented custom content designers to create some patterns for our use as well. These can be uploaded on objects in a lot so we can download them into our games. All creators will be credited.
Hope you might join us! Let me know if you need any other information.

Great, thanks for the info. I'm going to check it out.

Good job, but you should change his hair color and lighten his skin a bit. Malcolm X was a red head and was fairly light skinned since he was part white.
ok i resorted to wikipedia as a reference for hair colour. it said it was obvious in the summer sun. ok so i have a picture now with a little bit more changes:
just to let anyone know it is very hard to get an auburn red colour with CAS

Photo for comparison:
Hmmm, I think the nose wider and the tip more pointed down
mouth more kissable (omg jim morrisson was so hot **swooooon***) like pointier at the top lip
cheekbones/jaw line more defined
Great job so far though! I know the hair gave me problems too but you did a good job on his eyes and such, just a bit more definition that's all.

thankyou kit10. the only thing i am not happy about is his chin. his actual chin is cleft but in TS3 you can't create a cleft chin like TS2. frustrating :x . oh well
also how are we uploading them? as a household or a sim?
Here's a bohemian hippie family. Heavy on outdoorsy, artistic, musical, and "free love" traits Willow and Phoenix Heartwood are the grandparents. Raine Heartwood and his partner Starshine Sky have a son named Juniper Sky. Daydream Heartwood is a teen and is meant to be Raine's sister, but it wouldn't let me make the relationship in CAS. Apparantly elders can't have teen children- who knew?
They look great KitKat! I had the same problem with my commune family; it wouldn't let me put a teen and young adult as brother and sister. I finally gave in and turned her into a young adult.
I saw in another post that Addict was camping this weekend--I started a list with completed links on pg 6-- HeyHeyHay, I gave you Dr. King on that one.
I like your Warhol, weaponX. I'm amazed at how skinny he is. When you make female Sims really skinny, they still seem pretty healthy. This guy looks like a skeleton! It's good though, as Warhol seemed mighty skinny from the pictures I've seen.
I was hoping for some opinions or advice about my Truman Capote. I cannot seem to get his cleft chin and jowls correct...I do have the CAS slider, any ideas how I can get him closer to life?

Photo for comparison:
Wider nose.
More smiley lip (bent up).
Lower brows.
That's all I can see that need a tad changing.

Well, then I guess I'll have to get the slider hack. I've got the brow as low as possible. Thanks for the pointers.

Exactly. I only know about his hair color and complexion because I read his autobiography. It's hard to tell just by looking at pics.

I think he looks wonderful! Good job!

Enjoy!
i picked andy warhol because i thought he would be a easy sim to create, then i realised im generally not good and creating sims at all lol
but anyway this is my best shot at andy warhol
Ok, I don't really want to make a sim, sorry. Can I please enter the building side of this project even without a sim to use?
