Aedin

This is the eldest daughter of my vampire family. She's a teen right now, and she's completely fucking gorgeous. Here's some pictures of her in her natural environment (a library).


This one is from when she aged up to a teen in game, after I gave her decent looking hair and clothes. I just like her attitude.
And this is what she looked like BEFORE I gave her the makeover.
Yeah...special.

Zak for Download

A few people said they really liked Zak, and then someone even requested I upload him, so now I'm uploading my first sim.

I'm going to do my best to get him into other games exactly as-is, so this list is going to be EXTREMELY comprehensive, and you might even change your mind about wanting to download him after seeing it. I don't blame you.

To start, I have awesomemod. That allows infinite custom sliders, as well as using the sliders beyond their normal range. I have my slider ranger set to 3 times the normal range.

The sliders that were directly used for Zak are (to my knowledge):
#aWT's Jawline/Brow Depth slider
#aWT's Lip Shape slider
#aWT's Eyeball Slider (NOTE!: If you don't already have this slider, I'm going to offer this warning. It has new, default eyeball meshes included to make the slider work. It makes eyes a LOT more customizable, BUT it will remove all glowing eyeball effects. That means that vampires eyes will no longer glow, and neither will ghost eyes. If you're not ok with that trade-off, you can most likely get away with not using this slider and still have Zak look good.)
Jasumi's Smaller (Male) Hand Slider
Jonha's CAS Sliders
Ahmad's Facial Sliders
And I may have used Jonha's Head Shape Slider, but don't quote me on that.

Now for the clothes and such. I'm only going to list the items for the Everyday category, as I don't really pay much attention to the other clothing categories and usually end up using EA stuff anyway.
I'm pretty sure the default replacement skin I use is Lemonleaf's 3.0, but it also comes in non-default.
Sleepless Angel's Piercings Set (In game, I use the full piercing set option, not the individual piercings, for Zak)
Lemonleaf's Barbie Eyes
Shyne's Cheek Pores
Shyne's Real Lipstick
Arisuka's Eye Bags
Robokitty's Default Replacement Facial Hair
Aikea Guinea's Fauxhawk
Klavix's Collar (scroll to the bottom of the page)
NewOne's Left4Dead Tattoos
Aikea Guinea's Zipper Pants
Aikea Guinea's Rat Bastard Hoodie
Aikea Guinea's Spiked Bracelets  (the bracelet download is at the bottom of the post)
I think that's it! Eyeliner, eyebrows, eyelashes and shoes are all EA.

All of this hard downloading work will give you these gorgeous results:
And that's Zak! If you want to know what traits I gave him, feel free to ask. If you can't get him to work properly in game, I honestly wouldn't know how to fix it other than asking if you downloaded all of the sliders/mods, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. If my newbishness derped the whole thing and you can't get him in your game at all, which I really hope isn't the case, let me know and I'll try it again.

DOWNLOAD!

It's come to my attention that the above download does not work. Please use the link below, and put the file in your SavedSims folder. It should be located in the same place as your Mods/Packages (whatever you have it listed as) folder. Here's a tutorial for installing it, just in case it's confusing. The file isn't a zip or rar, so the part about extracting the file can be skipped. I'm very sorry for messing this up!

NEW DOWNLOAD!

Fuck You for Guys

I wanted to make a middle-finger pose just for the guys because putting a hand on their hip is a little too girly. So I finally made one just for the gents, and a brand new sim model, Zak Pena (pronounced "payna") to show it off. It comes in the same two flavors as the ladies pose.

the bird is the word
same smirk
more attitude=more tough
face stuff
If anything's broken, let me know. If anything's awesome (and I assure you, it is), let me know. If anything sucks, let me know. Not guaranteeing I'll listen or care, but I welcome all comments. It's hard doing poses for a dude when you have boobs (they get in the way and you can't properly model in the mirror).

Ethan and his Mother

When I first posted pictures of Ethan on Spamalot, I made up a little story to go with him:

"Maybe his dad was a drunk. Maybe his only joy in life was his loving mother. Maybe his dad finally goes beyond abuse one day and kills his mother. Who knows? I can imagine him being the type of boy to run away and spend a night sleeping on his mother's grave. Morbid? Totally. But that's the angle I want with this one."

Needless to say, I really wanted to do such a shoot with him. And here's the result.

Sitting with his mother

Missing her dearly
Fallen asleep
Staying with his mother tonight

The Good Stuff

I'm not going to start a new Sims blog without putting up my CC, The F-U Pose. Just in case anyone thinks anything looks bad or weird, just keep in mind these are my first ever custom poses. I was getting a little frustrated with the neverending supply of cutesy anime and fashion model poses, so I decided to try my hand at making something a little more kickass. I'll be making a male version fairly soon, I hope. Model is Aimes Henly.

Full body shot:

Head is tilted back a bit for more attitude:
Come at me bro:



The Beginning

I'm not going to lie, I never wanted to have a blog. But now that I'm trying my hand at making custom content for The Sims 3, I guess it's unavoidable. So now that I'm jumping in feet first, I'll start with the photos of the Sim in my blog title.

His name is Ethan Turinsen. I don't remember his personality traits because I don't play with him anyway. All you need to know is that he's a very sad young guy.

His original shoot was inspired by Alice in Chains "Down In A Hole" because of the imagery, not the angst.



Second shoot, no inspiration:


And a smile:
