Hello @Pamtastic72 Welcome to the challenge thread! You are very welcome to do the sims challenge and post your sims here when you become a full member and are able to then post pictures,
Happy simming!
Thanks @rosemow I will. In fact, I believe this post will push me over the full fledged member hill!
Hildred is very cute! @EGrace93 It is nice seeing the different outfits that she wears for the various types of clothing categories. It is nice that her favourite colour is orange and so it is reflected in her clothing. The orange colour of her glasses is a nice touch.
I am sorry that her homelife is unhappy . That is not nice for her. It would make her feel sad.

@xJDLKx XD didn't play sims 2 but looked up some images of Mrs crumplebottom...cra-ps me up!
And i love Iris' face! her eyes are so unique and good looking i can stare at it all day XD
I use imgur for picture uploads and photoshop for edits..imgur is quick and you don't have to have an account if you don't care to keep track of your uploads.
@EGrace93 Hildred is very cute! her freckles are a nice touch! (I have to ask, bc my first language isn't English, why is Hildred a bad name? QwQ)
@Emmp*mam, the pool is done for the day. now, would you like some other service from me?*
@m11kj
Hildred isn't bad because it means something bad, but it's bad, because it's just considered an ugly name. And, for most languages, names go through a cycle of four generations. So, a girl named Ginny, for example, is born, her name is chosen because it's considered a modern, good name. Ginny's daughters will be named the names that were popular in Ginny's great-grandmother's time, because there are basically none of that generation left. So, Hermione, Ginny's daughter, probably won't name her daughters any name that Ginny considered, or any that Ginny's mother considered, Hermione will consider names that were considered for her great-grandmother. I'm not going to continue with Ginny and Hermione, cause it just gets too confusing. But, Ginny's greatgrand-children, will consider names that were considered for Ginny. Does that make sense?
So, the grandparent's generations names are considered old and stuffy, but almost all of the generation before that are gone, so those names don't have any kind of stuffy memories attached.
And, it just turns out, that female names ending in 'eld' or 'ed' were quite popular when the current youngest generations grandparents were being born, at least where I live.
And, it also brings to mind this sort of...fearless-war-unkempt-Viking-type-lady. http://www.behindthename.com/name/hildred
http://www.thenamemeaning.com/hildred/
And, if you scroll down a bit, there are charts of popularity of Hildred as boy's and girl's name in the US, which, for girls, spikes between 1915, and 1926, which would still be close enough to now, for some people to remember their grandparent's generation having that name.
@TurquoisePapaya Thank you for the thorough explanation! wow, that is really interesting to know So, does that mean that maybe a few generations from now, Hildred would gradually stop being considered an ugly name and some popular & smart names right now will be considered old and ugly? I never knew ppl cycle the names like that! That's so interesting! LOL
@m11kj thank you! Hildred is a very, very uncommon name so it would confuse lots of people who haven't heard it before. It also sounds like Mildred which is seen as an 'old lady' kind of name.
Oh nevermind, I see TurqoisePapaya has done a much better job explaining it
@m11kj Definitely!
You're welcome!
And then there are names like Lula http://www.thenamemeaning.com/lula/ that are totally different, or names like Anne or Mary, that get used again and again and again and again.
@TurquoisePapaya Interesting! I'm acctually named after my grandmothers aunt who was born around 1890. When I was a child I NEVER met anyone with my name, but today there are loads of kids with my name running around. Its confusing :P Also, I love how you use Harry Potter charachters to explain names (;
So this is my day 8 and day 10 sims, female and male child. Since they need to live with at least one adult I decided to do them both at the same time. Meet the Haag twins, Lisa and Alexander! You can find them on the gallery with their nanny, Ethel Johnson!
Lisa has the rambunctious scamp aspiration and loves the outdoors. Alexander has the artistic prodigy aspiration and the squeamish trait. Gallery Link
Lisa
Alexander
Ethel
Warning! They look cute as children, but just wait. When they grow up. Ugh, I can't believe that children this cute can look so horrid as teens.
You can find me at the gallery, my ID is Jan_telefon!
@Emmp the kids are adorable!! so is the nanny, she looks like those kind lady who would offer the homeless a bowl of porridge! but i especially like Alexander, he and his personality just make me chuckle! nice nice job, i really like them!
Lisa and Alexander are very cute! @Emmp It is nice that they are twins. Their Nanny would be a caring and kind sim to look after them. The pink colour of her top and the floral pattern of her skirt looks pretty.
Iris is very pretty! @xJDLKx The floral patterns on her clothing look very pretty! Very nice purple colour scheme of her outfits. Her purple eyes are very nice!
@TurquoisePapaya haha yeah, Myshm'ak picks clothes based on what she thinks looks nice rather than what suits her
@xJDLKx Iris is so cute, I love her hair. She looks like someone who would be good to be friends with. About pictures, I use tinypic because it's not a hassle to use but it's not very good and I crop my screenshots with the default photo viewer. Not very high tech but it works for me.
Thank you @EGrace93 , definitely she'll be quite easy going I think (apart from when it comes to gardening aha) and easy to talk to. Fair enough I've been using photobucket and it just makes my computer lag and it always freezes, it's really annoying aha. Hildred is so cute!! I love her name I'd never heard of it before sounds like it should be in harry potter
Hm, sorry for the late reply! Thank you @xJDLKx, I'm happy you like them! I mostly build but it takes ages - Im a slow builder who want everything to be perfect. Since I'm currently suffering from no-freetime-syndrome I've started creating sims as well! I LOVE Oink, my favorite 33 day sim to date
And as you might have guessed, I love Marcus (; Iris is really cute, her eyes are beautiful! Especially in the first picture with the purple eye shadow. *whispers* And I didn't know what kawaii was either.
that's ok @Emmp awh fair enough , I can't leave builds unfinished before turning the sims off , once I didn't go bed til 3 because I was making a trailer type house and I had to be up at 8 I was so tired ahaha Oink is just amazing he lives with Babs in my game aha , glad you love Marcus he has already had the caliente sisters after him in my game :'D thank you *whispers back* phew glad I wasn't the only one. Your children and their nanny are so adorable!!
@xJDLKx XD didn't play sims 2 but looked up some images of Mrs crumplebottom...cra-ps me up!

@m11kj she was hilarious if you got too hot with your sim on a date she'd come up to you and bash you with her hand bag haha , she was in sims 3 but a lot younger , aha oohh Iris could be a potential girlfriend for the cute pastel guy you made maybe thank you I've started to use imgur to fed up with photobucket aha
Day 23 Love here is Carys Connelly a hopeless romantic , when she's not watching romantic comedies or reading romantic novels whilst listening to pop music, she is glued to the computer screen updating all of her various dating sites and browsing through potential dates profiles ( she has been on more dates than she cares to count) determined to find her one true love.
Carys

Iris and Carys are on the gallery I didn't realize I hadn't uploaded Iris sorry guys!!
Carys is very pretty! @xJDLKx Her red hair and the red colour scheme of her clothing looks very nice together. Her green eyes look nice with the red colours also. The heart patterned top to reflect the love theme is a nice touch. Her earrings and necklace are nice parts of her outfits.

That's so cool…if you don't mind me asking (and I get it, this is the internet, it's totally up to you), what's your first name? Sorry if asking put you in an awkward position…
Can you show us pictures of the Haag twins when they're older? Please? I almost can't believe they turn out so ugly…
Ethel looks so nice!
