Cross-Pollination 2: Skellified!
So, eight-- wow, eight years ago-- I posted Cross-Pollination for Cynnix, because there were very few things I wouldn't do for Cynnix, and there wasn't much to it on my part-- just copying Kittylynn74's plant tunic, plantkini, and plantshorts recolors onto Cocomama's child and teen plantsim meshes, Tig's stone age toddler tunic, and some underwear. Then four years ago, Skell posted some brand new plantsim tunic colors, which she did for CU-EU, which, fantastic... but I wanted matching toddlers and plantshorts and plantkinis, too.
So here I am, going back to that 'all I did was--' well again.
"You should have used terracotta, but you were still right to kill that guy." --Texts From Superheroes (with bonus guide to keeping succulents alive)
So unlike the last Cross-Pollination, I actually did have to do some work here; also unlike the last Cross-Pollination, nothing is pinned to Seasons. (Do you want that? I can do that if you want that, I did it for myself.) Skell's original tunics are thus not included, go grab them from her, but I did use them.
See okay what happened was, a while back, I broke my original testerhood. These things happen, don't delete the contents of your Storytelling folder. Whoops. And my new testerhood-- well, generally I throw things in the testerhood, from Sims to lots, when I have something I want to test, so it's been sparsely populated. I needed to make myself a new Plantsim Testing Lot.
So, Skell's new plant tunics in their lovely new colors, from left to right, White on Manzanita, Yellow-Green on Elm, Gold on Oak, Dark Green on Stamen, and Orange on Primrose. The Sims, I saved from my old game via Sim Surgery; they still have Plantsim facepaint on.
Plantkini on Maxis AF (Elm), barely-visible Plantshorts on Maxis AM (Oak), Plantkini on Androgyny AF (Primrose).
I threw them onto the lot and had them start chatting and realized I forgot to actually turn them into Plantsims (meaning their motives could ruin my day any second).
Foreground: Plantkini on Athletic Girl AF (Manzanita), Plantkini on Maxis AF (Elm). Background: Plantshorts on Maxis AM (Oak).
Back to chatting on my lovely woodsy lot! Right, so what I did for this was, I took Skell's gorgeous new colors and cut them to absolute ribbons in order to make matching Plantkinis. Plantshorts were easy-- the branch work is the belt-- but the bikini tops required me to carefully match and cut pieces off of not only the leafy tunic but the viney leg wraps.
Plantshorts on Androgyny AM (Stamen).
But once I had all the textures done (five colors each for plantshorts and plantkinis), it was a simple matter to make plantshorts for not only Maxis, but Runner Guy and Magpie's Androgyny-- both male and female-- and plantkinis for Maxis, Athletic Girl, and Androgyny, again, female and male. Children and toddlers only got plantshorts, as they have nothing to hide, but it's possible I may someday do... plantbandeus?
Plantshorts on Maxis AM (Oak).
AND YOU WOULD THINK that, at this point, I'd quit it with the in-game pics since I only made five Sims so you're not seeing all ages and bodytypes in action, but apparently when I dubbed my working folder 'Skellified!' I REALLY FRICKIN' MEANT IT
the GRIM FUCKING REAPER, ladies and gentlemen and distinguished guests (Psychosim Default)
STRUCK BY SATELLITE/METEOR
THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE
WHAT
Androgyny AM, THE DING-DANG GRIM REAPER, Maxis AF, Athletic Girl AF
So you get more in-game pics.
These were brand new Sims, okay, it was 3:30 on their first afternoon when this happened.
Death and the Maiden
Elm there had the highest relationship score with poor unfortunate Oak, but that relationship score was 33, so. This did not work out as well as it could have.
Coping mechanisms
So!
An adventure was had by all. Especially me, as that had LITERALLY never happened to me before. I've been playing this game since it dropped, and this is my first Death By Satellite. I didn't even see it happen? I was trying to take pictures of the girls on the swing (the first time they tried to use it) and then caught a glimpse of FIRE through the trees.
Let's. Let's do downloads, shall we?
Skell's textures carefully smooshed onto Tiggerypum's Jagged Dress. Unisex, and enabled for all categories.
Download!
Plantshorts for toddlers! Skell's colors, enabled for all categories except Outerwear. Unisex, and needs no meshes (uses your own PU nude default).
Download!
Plantshorts for children! Needs no mesh, unisex, all categories but Outerwear, Skell's colors.
Download!
Plantkinis for teen girls! Those branches took a lot of work, okay. A LOT of work. But they match Kittylynn's originals, and they don't need meshes, and they are enabled for all categories except Outerwear. Because even a plantsim would freeze.
Download!
Plantshorts for TM! No outerwear, no meshes needed.
Download!
Adult Female! Same as above, these don't need meshes and don't have outerwear, and enabled JUST for Young Adult and Adult Female.
Download!
Same as the ladies, basically: Adult men come with no meshes, adult men NEED no meshes. All categories except Outerwear because who am I to tell you this isn't a Maternity outfit, and enabled for Young Adult and Adult only.
Download!
As I said on the original Cross-Pollination, my Elder Females look a little trim and perky, because I have a Warlokk X-hi-res default for EF nude, swim, and undies. (Because EF breasts are a pet peeve of mine; yes boobs sag but not like that), and it's just more space-efficient for me to use that and elder-enabled adult clothes. Your EF will be wearing your default mesh, in whatever arrangement of nips and toes that might have.
Download!
Elder males! Skell's colors! No Outerwear! No mesh needed!
Download!
Athletic Girl Teens are on a Cynnix mesh, with sexyfeet but no nipples or crotch details. Here you get both Kittylynn74's original colors AND Skell's new colors, because I wasn't using bodyshapes eight years ago, and Athletic Girls can be Plantsims, too. No outerwear, mesh included.
Download!
Teen Runner Guy with sexyfeet on a Cynnix mesh, Kittylynn74 and Skell colors! I am a bad girl and I use Runner and LBB pretty interchangeably; they're similar dimensions. I like Jaccirocker's RNR nude more, though.
Download!
Athletic Girl YAEF-- young adult, adult, and elder female-- on a Cynnix mesh, no outerwear, Kittylynn and Skell's colors. This one is YAEF only because... uh, is there an Athletic Elder?
Download!
Runner Guy! YAEM because there are no hard-bodied separate elder meshes, Kittylynn's colors, again a Cynnix mesh, this whole thing is very repetitive, all categories but outerwear.
Download!
Plantkinis for Magpie's Androgyny, teen female! Yeah the tops on the Plantkinis don't look as good as they could. Maybe someday I'll do plantbandeaus. But not today. (Maybe someone ELSE will do them so I don't have to!) All categories but outerwear, mesh by Jaccirocker included.
Download!
Androgyny Plantshorts for TF! Yeah -shorts and -kini are important suffixes now. The Androgyny bodyshape doesn't actually HAVE boobs, so there was no reason not to use both textures for both genders. Note these have a slightly different alpha and are not just the plantkini bottoms with the top alpha'd out! Mesh and categories are the same, though.
Download!
Androgyny Plantshorts for teen males! Kittylynn's textures and my attack on Skell's textures, all categories but outerwear, mesh by Jaccirocker.
Download!
Androgynous Plantkinis for TM! Weirdly I think the top looks better on the boys than the girls.
Download!
Androgyny Plantkinis for Young Adult and Adult Female! That's right, this one is not elder-enabled.
Download!
And the matching Plantshorts for Androgyny YAF! All categories except Outerwear, Jaccirocker meshes.
Download!
Androgynous Plantshorts for Young Adult and Adult males!
Download!
And YAM gentlemen's Androgynous Plantkinis! It's Jacci meshes through to the end here.
Download!
Androgyny Plantkinis for Elder Females! Kittylynn74 and Skell colors, all categories except Outerwear, mesh by Jaccirocker included.
Download!
Plantshorts! Androgyny! Elder Female! Kittylynn74! Skell! No outerwear!
Download!
Androgyny Plantshorts for Elder Males!
Download!
Plantkinis! Surely you know what I would say here by now. Oak died for this.
Download!
And that's the end of that. And of Oak.
I didn't save. I'm not a monster, he was seven hours out of CAS.
Wanna help me feed my cats?
In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. Donors get two things at the moment: a) a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery, full of pictures of the cats you'll be feeding, updated sporadically when the cats do something photogenic and I'm fast enough on the trigger to catch it, and b) a link to the list of content I have done-but-not-screencapped, nearly done, partly done, or in the planning stages, and the option to suggest what ought to be in the next batch of things I focus on.

It sounds like this plus the hair fix is what you need for your werewolf default?
I've got a big worldbuilding document, but it's constantly evolving as I decide where I'm stealing from (history, folklore, Discworld which may count as both, my high school Witchy Phase), so not a lot is in any real shape to share. I have fun researching! And I'm thrilled you like my rambling.
Yeah, currently Religion is not really set up for Traits or Midge's witch mod. At the moment you can choose whether traits or faith or traits or witch expansion wins by load order; a Traits of the Faithful project is on my to-do list, but I gotta teach myself how to religion-edit BHAVs again. I swear every time I learn a new thing about editing BHAVs, I forget it after three months.

Religion-enabled traits sounds awesome. I have a lot of the new medieval or medievalized versions, but a few of them have no behaviours tied to them which is a little sad. It's something I want to look into more so I can make some cc beyond just simple simpe edit. I'm assuming you're making traits aware of religion, but new traits would be equally cool as well.
I'm the same way about forgetting how to make cc since I mess with many games, including all four sims and they all work differently, but hopefully it's more of a refresher instead of learning an entirely new skill
