hat_plays_sims: All I did was crop-- go read Bite Me by Dylan Meconis, you'll laugh. (Default)

One of the things I really liked about your Canvas set is that the elder bodies looked older. I wanted to keep that AND keep my saggy-boobed defaults, so I did a lot of mucking around in Photoshop. Usually if folk bother with different elder states, all they do is pull the boob texture down a few notches instead of actually making any other part of the body look saggy, too, so I don't feel remotely bad about just swapping adult textures for elder textures.

So far, I haven't had too much trouble with that... but the most non-alien breeding I've done, I've done while testing Plantsims. (I don't mind things like different noses too much-- in my immediate family, only my mother and brother have similar noses. I got Nana's nose. Likewise my brother and sister are on the pinkish side for skintones, and I'm more sallow.) But then I'm also ludicrously careful about what gets in where in my genetics-- I recently reorganized everything from about halfway between S2 and S4. Yellow tones tend to group together a bit, but if someone down at the 0.02 end of my spectrum falls in with somebody way up at 1.02, all bets are off, their kids could look like anything.

Dude, he seriously does. I would show you a picture if I'd manned up and paid for photobucket. He's adorable, really, but considering my Sims lean toward the realistic, he's so doofy-looking. So, so doofy-looking.

I actually did find some bills sitting in the street and, like an idiot, deleted them. Imay re-plonk the building and see if I can pay those bills. As for defaults, well, dorm sign good, assignment good, diploma... I think I need to build a bigger version. It's just not as crisp as would be ideal. Gotta make a new texture, I think. Can't find where or if I saved my layers.

Man, Egyptian history is actually more interesting than Egyptian mythology. Apparently a book does exist. There are a few things on The Costumer's Manifesto, but not much I'd consider useful. ... Maybe there's some easier-to-understand artwork from Ankhenaten/Amenhotep IV's reign? Usually, I've seen the stiff-flapped kilts depicted as being a flat belt that's been perspective-warped so you can see all of it-- like the way they painted eyes as being forward-facing even though the faces were done in profile. It could also be a decorative piece that marks the closure of the over-kilt itself-- pinned or with hidden ties at each corner.
