Edward's Escalating Escapades

Since I had to completely re-install my game, I've basically started all over again. I took a small break from The Valley Of Nuptials and played, Veronaville. Here's a few shots I took.

As always, here's TJ and Charles

And, this is who he's chatting with

A close-up of TJ

Once again, I got one of those looks

And, then this happened

Then, this. I love her pose. Almost reminded me of Wonder Woman

Hunter, if I'm not mistaken, the black dress is one of your creations.

So sorry you had to start over again, Ed. I'm dealing with that now on my main puter.
I lost so much, I can't tell you. I feel for ya, hon.

TJ is such a yummy snack. Lovin' him in his skivvies.
He really wears that hairstyle well, too, btw.
The black dress and boots Vittorine is wearing definitely looks like Basic wear.
I think you're right about that!

Thank you for sharing.
I hope I get to load up my game again soon. I'm missin' my Sims.

Reinstalling the game didn't bother me that much. What bugged me was, not taking out the whole Sims 2 folder. I thought I'd be safe just taking out my downloads folder.

I'm being careful as to what goes into my game. I look at stuff and go, do I really, really, really need it? So far, I have the Basic Kitchen Set. The Phoenix Livingroom Set along with their Dining room set. Stuff I can easily recolor.

I've got three different houses in my Vally Of Nuptials neighborhood. I'm redecorating two of them and dumping most of the Custom Content that came with them. That'll make the size of my downlods folder shrink even more. Right now, it sits at 159MB.

TJ is...yummy times ten. I was looking for a drooly smiley face, but didn't see one.

I LOVE the basic kitchen set, Ed. Thank you ever so much for pointing me to it. It's attractive and there are so many options, and it's inexpensive in game. Most of my families these days use it.

You're welcome Ari.

She has a new one out called, Shakerlious Kitchen set:
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=342880

Interestingly enough, it uses the recolors from the Basic Kitchen Counters.

So, any recolors you have for Basic will in fact work with her new kitchen.

Thank you for the omments about TJ.......

You should go to my site and look at Ashton Redfield. Haba haba!!

I jumped another hurdle in object recoloring. I learned how to make stuff transparent! YAHOO!!!

I had put a request in over at Black Pearl to have Solander's (Pimp My Sims) Kitchen01 table and chair recolored. And, I wanted the glass inlay to match the recolors I asked for. i.e. Black and white. It sat there for a bit until finally, I was playing around in GIMP and learned on my own.

This would be the black set.

If you look at the backs of the chairs, you can see right through them.
Get a load of that floor.......

This is the white set.

You can see through the in lay on the table.

More fun to be had!!

The dinning set looks awesome!

I like the floor tiles too, have you made them aswell?

Thank you!

I did not make the floor. I'm not that talented.......I got that over at TSR.

I tried a few different things out. I did a few recolors of the chair seat.
Two to match the black table.

Then I did two to match the wallpaper to match the white table.

And, I tried to do a wood recolor. But, I screwed up on the texture.

I don´t know if you want my opinion but I give it anyway. LOL

The black set is beautiful!

The green and white set is awesome! (My favorite colour.)

The wooden table is awesome but the chairs would need some other colour maybe yellow or orange....... autumn colours...

Thank , Sugah!

If anybody was curious, here's the changes I made to Charles. If you look at his eyess and lips, you'll see the difference.

Before:

After:

I really hated changing him in any way. Why tamper with perfection?!!? But, those eyes and lips had to go.

That's basically all I did. Tempted to give him different colored eyes. But, changed my mind.

The biggest change I gave his was, when I was in BodyShop after I downloaded him, I gave him a hairy Skintone. I told the creater what I did, and he loved it. Techically, he didn't even come with a skintone. When he's in BodyShop, it's a Maxis SkinTone.
