Ed -

You've definitely succeeded with the rugged look.

I think it's funny that he's a work-a-holic and athletic - because looking at his first picture those were two of the first things that came to mind. I imagined him being VERY work oriented, not overly smiley and lacking a bit of a sense of humor. I imagine him being a tyrant at work that his employees are afraid of AND I imagine him TRYING to be that way at home with his significant other - but actually being a big teddy bear.

When I get back to my "Day in the Life" series for my Sims models, I think I may use this guy as a boyfriend. A few of my models are still single and he looks like good stock. Yup

Thank you, Hunter.

Ben is someone I wanted to try something different with. As I say this, I know I'm guilty of doing the same thing, but, at the time almost every male Sim I looked at, had the "boyish" look to them. I wanted to try and do something different. I feel as though I succeeded.

Someone gave reference to Tom Selleck. Oddly, when you look at him long enough, you can see some resemblence. It never occured to me until someone mentioned it.

I'm glad you like him!

I see the Tom Selleck likeness too!!!

You may THINK you do the same thing over and over - but all of your male Sims DO look very different. There's nothing wrong with them all having a boyish quality as that is a very attractive one.

I really want to thank you for sharing all of your Sims with us here at the forum Ed. Kiss

You're welcome!

It was something I've been tossing back and forth in my head. Then, I just decided to do it.

I tried to be different with each and every one of them.......But, the one I'm most proud of is, TJ. You can tell.
Now, I've got 42 copies of all three versions. And, I think Version III will be the last version. There isn't really much more I can do with him. He went from a hairy BodyBuilder skintone, to a smooth Slim BodyBuilder skintone, to a hairy Slim BodyBuilder skintone with toes. What makes him so different and unique is, his hair. God, I love that hairy style. Thank you, SIZZ.
