I heard you were dead (redux)

Nope, just recreating Comic House again. I cancelled my WoW account and bought The Sims 2, and have since been modding and skinning the game like crazy. My own character is proving very difficult to get right due to a lack of decent glasses templates, so last night I gave up and decided to work on Maddo.

Here is the real deal:


And here is the Maddosim:


There are a couple of differences, of course. The glasses are the wrong shape (but I did change the color to make them work better,) and real Maddo isn't wearing lipstick or smiling in her picture. XP*

I also made Maddosim an outfit that reminds me of two pieces of clothing I really associate with her. The shirt is her "The Protean Self" band shirt- hence the drama masks, and the pants are...red plaid pants. The original pants I used were gothic, had huge flares, and there were skulls and grommets everywhere. They were also guy's pants. So look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.



I'm going to try to tweak the belt to work better with the cut of the pants, and give her close-toed slippers instead of those sandals. The hair is a style I found online that I recolored to match her bleached red hair that she loved (and misses muchly.)

I made a Superman pj/underwear set for her, too, but the sim looks so much like her that I don't feel comfortable posting the screencap online. >.<; (The same goes for her swimsuit.) I'll probably make a Spiderman set, too, but the S logo was a lot easier to edit on than the webbing would be. (Daryl is totally getting Spidey boxers, tho.)

But, I will show you the formal dress I edited for her. It reminds me of a lot of her more formal clothes, among them the silk pants set she wore to Typhoon during that weekend in Seattle.



And that's it. That is why I am sitting here at work and am incredibly tired and headachy. Luckily this is my only 12-hour shift this go-round.

I'm going to start work on Sarah as soon as I can find a hairstyle that works. Why does no one make long hair tucked behind the ears? COME ON PEOPLE. That and standalone cartilage piercings seem to be impossible to locate.

Ohwait. I've just had an apostrophe. Now I just need to get back home to my editing program and try it out.

I love you! I couldn't have done a better job recreating me myself! That hairstyle is PERFECT and you need to point me in the direction of all those downloads so I can use that Sim in Trev's version of the game (you can swap Sims right?). Trevor saw it and was like "WHOA that's awesome!" so feel well complimented. Can you move houses from game to game? Cause I really like my version of Comic House and we should compare. Thanks for the phone messages too. I just got them today and they made me laugh a lot. I'll try to call you tomorrow after work if you're not on a plane. Hope things are good and again, awesome job on the Sim!

Yeah, houses are swappable. I can also send you that exact Sim if you'd like, because they are swappable too. And I'm glad you like it. ^^

I'm having a much harder time with me than I did with you. Finally found the right hair for Sarah, tho, so Imma start work on her tonight.

Welcome back!

(What did I say to your voicemail? Oh God, I can't remember...)
