Learning From Cigarette Burns

You get crappy BS previews because I don't have time to open my game and get real shots today.
These are hairs I did because I was too impatient to wait on someone else to do them though I know a thousand people will.

First up - These have been done but only in 8 colors and for me, 8 just isn't enough:




All 16 of Pook's naturals. Compressed. Binned. Familied ala Pooklet. Also, her textures. Mesh included.
Grab here.

Next up - This is the original alpha.



Again, all 16 Pook naturals. Compressed. Binned. Familied ala Pooklet. Mesh included.  Used the textures from iosiren 's alpha edit and copy/pasted them onto the original alpha.
Grab here.

Enjoy.

*Note: Male is not my sim.  Don't know who's it is.  Possibly one of Oopsie's.  Female belongs to jazmin.  Ask her if you want Naomi Greene in your game.

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"Nobody cared.  There was complete apathy."

So.. it's from Penthouse, Aug. 2008.  Does that count as a book?  I know, I know.  But I have a very good reason for having a Penthouse in my desk.  It's just that no one will believe me when I tell them I wanted to sim one of the models.  

The South Side is the seedy side of town.

Here.

I snagged this outfit off a sim I downloaded from mchick101 and converted it to Aikea's suit coat boot cut mesh.  I have no idea who the original creator/s are so I might be shitting all over god knows what kind of TOS's, but, here it is if you want it.  I do know the leather pants and boots is Aikea's texture.  Only one outfit, categorized for every day and formal and compressorized.  Mesh from Club Crimsyn included.

"Guess who's back"

The say I'm cocky, and I say "What?"
It ain't braggin', motherfucker, if you back it up

Dare and his boys hit the Confessional around eleven; after everyone who would be there had gotten there, and worked the crowd. As Samuel predicted, the Ex flew out of their hands. These fucks were like the hippies at Woodstock with all the free love they were paying for. Edward was there. Eden and Genja were there. Morose and Ciara. He didn't check the VIP room but it seemed that the only people that weren't there were Naomi, Ava, Sorrow, Anguish and their respective women. The latter few didn't surprise him. Sorrow and Jenna were probably at home playing the Cleavers with a porn style twist. Anguish and Shay preferred the comfort of beer and pool at Neely's. But Dare's mind wasn't on the people who weren't there. It wasn't even on the business at hand. He was thinking ahead to his upcoming meeting with Jimmy. He'd promised the fucker top dollar multiplied by the number of copies he had of Ava's video and Jimmy was salivating at the thought of easy and unexpected cash to snort up his nose and blow on hookers. What he didn't know was that Dare didn't have any intention of giving him fuck all and was about to cut him off completely, sending him as far as Portland to chase his high.

I would think that anything that opposed a Great Truth would then be a Great Lie. It's a matter of determining the Greatest. All of which is relative to the person doing the determination. Everything is relative. Only math is absolute.

God isn't a pussy. He just doesn't care. He's a bored child moving on to the next new toy. He's abandoned his creations.

When asked if he'd made a deal with the devil:
Not so much, no. I did, however, agree with his point of view at the time. <shrugs> Sometimes, that's all it takes.

The difference between God and Lucifer is that God demands your faith. For Lucifer, it's enough that he believes in *you*.  Have you ever noticed in the stories and the bible, how easy it is to attain an audience with the Devil.. but only less than a handful of people have ever had an audience with God? Trust me.. it's *not* because he's so fucking popular.

On whether or not a woman should expect the devil to show up to see her:
He might show up himself. If you're cute enough.

Okay... so default replacement meshes aren't going to happen which sucks, but such is life. Instead, I cleaned out my hair folder and cut it from 1.14 GB down to 600 MB give or take. I've also started Pooking a bunch of hairs I have that I don't have good recolors for that I haven't seen done anywhere.

That said, I have a hair for anyone who wants it. It's pook'd. It's familied and it should be compressed. Don't ask me how the grey works cuz I don't know how to do that linking thing.

That said, the majority of the hairs are using Grenade as the elder color but a couple just have the same color as the other ages because I'm lazy. You're getting a craptacular body shop preview because, again, I'm lazy, my game is borked, and I wasn't going to share in the first place, but eh. I like to spread love.

The included mesh *should* be the right one, if not, let me know.  If there are problems with the download, let me know.  I only have it up on mediafire right now, but I'll put it on Box, too, if there's a need, which I seriously doubt will happen as I'm not putting it on GoS.  <smiles> I'm too lazy to conform to the uploads rules.

Anyway, here it is. It's Peggy's and I did all ten Pook naturals.  The preview image is Shrapnel.  The files are named with the *mesh* name because I hate Peggy's naming convention (it's just so unconventional) and I like to make it easy for people to find meshes they need should some bad thing happen to their downloads folder.

So.. Sims 2.. I am currently using a crap load of default hiders in my clothing catalogue and townifying almost every outfit I download.  The problem with this is that I have about 1 1/2 GB of clothing and that is the absolute smallest I can get that folder (damn you, GoS).  So, I've decided to try my hand at default replacements, starting with the Adult female jeans.  I want to replace that ugly ass pair.. flaired legs, sandals, wide belt.. you know the one.. with Aikea's adult female tucked bootcut.  If it works, I'll put them up for download and start on the other 13 pair + the H&M jeans becuase I can't possibly be the only one that hates the EA default jeans.  I'm actually surprised no one did it during GoS's default revamp month.

In other news, I'm creating a new Darkness Falls 'hood with as close of an approximation to the Silent Hill maps as I can.  Obviously, it's not exact, but I'm relatively happy with it.  I'll probably post some screens when I get the chance.  I'm using decorated 'hoods that I've downloaded and Matilda's(?) Hood Replace (on MTS2 somewhere).  Old Town is the main 'hood (Arcadia on MTS2), with Acorn Bend (MTS2) as the Resort Area, Carnen (MTS2 and GoS) as the Commercial district (Central SH), Mayhaven (MTS2) as South Vale.  I used the dirt terrain which I only discovered the joys of for grungy hoods recently.  Carnen was added as Downtown and the others were added as shopping districts.  Oh.. and I'm using Newport Beach (I think, also MTS2) as Autumn Island which is the island in the bay and only accessible by ferry.

Oh.. and I'm going to kill these dogs.  I love them but they're driving me crazy.

So, I installed WA. Wow. New sliders?! Specifically "jowls" and "lower eye apex"? I'm pretty sure those weren't there before. Anyway, I'm working on translating my favorite sims 2 sims into Sims 3 and had a happy accident with Edward. I think I've had a breakthrough in my ability toaccept them *not* looking exactly like they do in Sims 2. Every time I show one of them to my roommate, she says "very, very close". Last night I finally said "very, very close is all that's ever going to be possible." Anyway, here's what I've got on Edward so far. I'll probably edit him a million times before I'm done with him but I'm pretty happy with the initial draft. He doesn't look exact. I know that. But I'm more interested in him being recognizable *and* attractive then him being a clone.

List of things I need for Edward:
Nail polish for the boys.
Studded double hung leather belt.
And if only I could figure out how to delete shit out of my game that seems to be hiding in places other than the usual suspect folders, it'll all be good.

And the hunt begins.  :)
