hector_rashbaumI have been unreasonably serious lately! I suppose I shall remedy that with the backlog of Sims pictures I've been faithfully taking but not bothering to share. This will probably take up several post. Whether I'll do them all in one flist-flooding marathon update session or space them out in a nice reasonable manner remains to be seen. Ooooooh suspense.
Item the first! Two I made way back in my Body Shop frenzy and never posted: Alessandro Elena, who actually exists IRL but has pretty much become a High Seas Adventure OC (Sim Ale is based on HSA Ale, not real Ale. There's a song about real Ale's penis, he doesn't need a Sim) and Al Gore. Because Al Gore. He lives in the White House and is madly in love with JBJ, though he's just a notch in JBJ's bedpost. Aww. Pictures and downloads after the cut.
Download Ale
Download Al
Aren't they precious. The only other thing I've done of note in Body Shop (lately it's just been a means to check that I haven't downloaded so much crap the game crashes, as well as a tool for deleting genetics/clothing when I have downloaded too much) are two shirts that came out of a RockFic chat, for Jon and Joe.
Hell yes.
After I went Body Shop crazy, I went building crazy. Most of my houses are either downloaded, came with the game, or are so generic as to be unworthy of mention, but there's one that was crazy labor-intensive, more a housing complex than a house. It's Marcel and Kreshin's (both HSA OCs, if you don't remember), and my aim was to recreate Plana Cays as well as I could. Originally the houses were bamboo, with grass roofs, until I reread one of the pairings challenge fics and duh why would David and Tico's house be made of stone if everything else was bamboo.
Full complex, from the top, roofs visible. The nice thing about the flat roofs is they make up for all that space I'm not using in between buildings.
From the top left corner, counter-clockwise: Marcel and Kreshin's bedroom, the kids' building (teenage son's [Adrian's] room on the second floor, twins' nursery on the ground floor), kitchen and dining building (with a grill and extra table on the roof), Marcel's greenhouse, main living building (study on the second floor, with gym equipment, organ, drums, easel, bookcase, computer, homework desk for Adrian; living room on the ground floor with fun stuff, phone, birdcage and hamster), pool, bathroom.
From the front:
The real fun I have with buildings comes from stores/community lots. I don't love playing them, boring as fuck, but yay building them. Behind the cut: RockOut concert hall/nightclub (I'm not so much with the creative names), Marcel's salon Cherí, Sav and David's Kingdom of Toys, and the strip club Teeanday (names. Yeah.). Teeanday's not so much with the safe for work.
RockOut, the first community lot I built, where the first Stephanie Bon Jovi burned to death (I had Jon give birth to another girl [took FOREVER omg so many boy babies], aged her super-fast, moved New-Stephanie in with Old-Stephanie's fiancé, they got engaged and life goes on, if a bit creepier than before) because I had too many flamey things around.
The roof, complete with giant gorilla ('cause why not) and three hot tubs. This is my default go-to place when one of my Sims wants public woohoo.
Second floor: dance floors, dj booth, bar, balconies where one can get some air and still enjoy the music.
Ground floor: Stage, with instruments always ready for whoever wants to play (since I took the screenshot, the dorky piano has been replaced with a delightful keyboard), seating, and potties. Also a ticket booth that's there for show, cause you get tickets elsewhere; it's an administrative office that no one can actually get in without move_objects on.
One of Marcel's very first aspirations was to get a makeover chair (followed, of course, by "get a bronze makeover talent badge, get a silver makeover talent badge, get a gold makeover talent badge). So I got him the chair, accosted anyone who wandered onto the lot for practice...he needed lots of practice:
Whoops!
So after ages of practice, he got his silver badge, and I decided he was going to start his own salon. Mainly so I'd have an excuse to build one.
The stuff on the roof, the balustrade and coffee bar and seating and columns, didn't exist at first; those were added for two reasons: The flat roof was so enticing I really wanted to come up with something to put up there, and with someone assigned to all three makeover chairs, a cashier, and a stockboy, I had one employee with nothing to do and no desire to fire someone.
The interior: get your hair did to the left, wait or buy perfume on the right, pee in the middle. Animal print = classy.
The salon chairs:
The waiting and retail area:
The rooftop cafe, with and without overhang. Yep, that's a clear glass floor. HOW KEWL.
Here Marcel models the lovely Cherí uniform. It's ugly, but hey, it matches his motorcycle.
So this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Or it was, Teeanday might have surpassed it. Anyway. I decided David and Sav needed a toy store (it was a tossup: toy store, or pet store. I still might make Sav a pet store, 'cause I'm dying to call it Savage Kingdom), and there's a bunch of castle-themed floors/wallpapers/decor that came in one of the expansion packs, so Kingdom of Toys:
Full shot (the giant knight makes slightly more sense than the gorilla at RockOut). I have to be careful putting employees on break, they go right for the swings and trampolines and it's a bitch to get them back to work. THOSE ARE FOR THE KIDS, RICHIE.
The second floor is a lounge for parents while their kidlets play on the roof, with nice seating, complimentary coffee, and a selection of magazines. Behind the half-wall are two toymaker's benches and two robot building stations (you can make toy robots). David's the master toymaker, with his gold badge he can make nice shit like octopus-shaped sprinklers. Sav makes the less-complicated toys, like pet bricks.
Bottom floor, where shit gets sold. Don't let the separation of blue and pink fool you - everything gets sold on both sides. David probably thinks the pink side is for boys, anyway.
Look how overjoyed Viv is to be working! YAY WORK
The KoT uniforms came from the same person who made the uniform I use for Cherí, but they're way cuter. Modeled by some random townie who's actually the star salesman:
ALRIGHTY. I spent most of yesterday (or the day before, possibly) downloading a variety of sex hacks/objects, and after a little testing totally couldn't resist the allure of building a strip club. And because it's me, it reaches levels of classy never thought achievable.
THE BUILDING IS BEWBZ <3
(In hindsight: I should've done the aureolas the same way I did the nipples, with foundations instead of walls, because HELLO unnaturally lengthy aureolas. But it worked out: the left aureola is the administrative office).
Second floor: For relief of tension! Pink room is girls only, blue is guys only, yellow are for everyone.
Doors automatically strip you as you walk through (the extra indentations in the lady room are because the "Girls Only" nudie doors didn't work, so there's a Girls Only bathroom door before you get to the nudie door); sex hack beds with a variety of blowjobs and a delightful woohoo option, and complimentary vibrators in each room for spectators:
First floor is the actual strip club: two pole dancer stages, four go-go cages, a bathroom in one tit and a private dance room in the other.
As I was finishing decorating, I kept feeling like something was missing. Oh! A walkway.
Like I said, pure class.
So that is the kinda boring stuff! Soon, a post about the crazy weird shit involving actual Sims. BADASS.
