Unenrolled, and as far as I understood the first 3 or 4 ranks of the law career sort of indicate the sim being a law student, as promotion past a certain point seems to require taking an exam. 

 

Alright. I actually have a mod that requires a degree to advance in most careers so I'll have to take her to university anyway then. But the thing with enrolled sims is that you have to start playing them as soon as you put them in the world because university terms progress even when the sims is unplayed, and I like just putting your sims into the homeless population as they drop in to populate the world and then give them a house if/when I actually play them, meaning it's safe to keep her homeless for me.

I do the same thing with most of the sims I download from loverslab.  My hope is that they fill in as NPC characters instead of random spawned sims.  Sometimes it works but for some reason this one D.J. I didn't make keeps showing up at EVERY club after 7pm to run the D.J. booth.  I might just have to send my black window (not the marvel character) sim after him.  However have you tried making a roommate house for your homeless unplayed sims?  With MCCC you can just force what sims you want to visit the lot and then ask them to be your roommate PROVIDED, they are not saved in a household with more than 1 sim.  Roommates, when they are not buggy (I have a house with 7 roommates and the game engine tends to neglect 1 of them into pissing themself which the sim then blames you for, no matter how many bathrooms you have), can be very entertaining.  I have a roommate called Robin Sorta who has the fuckboy trait and she has basically fucked everyone in the house and Tina Peeping without me having anything to do with it.  Then again the neighborhood also has Free Love activated which I'm guessing helps.

 

Mrrakkon, in my opinion you did an amazing job on Leyla.  If only I could have her be some sort of forever law student in my university (that I've yet to touch), as some sort of NPC student.  I'd love to have her play the role of senior sexy law student who distracts all her underclass-men and women.  I'll admit there was this one girl I knew back in college with great tits that I didn't study for 2 tests because we were talking and having lunch.  She was a friend of a friend and she had a boyfriend, but she was still fun to talk to.  Come to think of it I only knew 1 girl back in college who didn't have a boyfriend and I was friends with her but she scared me off asking her out (She had a scat fetish and that's a deal breaker for me.)

Mazuiko Jackson has been updated and reuploaded. Update is for skintones patch, lifestyle a new hairstyle and some smaller outfit changes along with using the new custom sliders I've gotten since first making her. The post describing her has been updated.

Neon East Urbz

 

And here's some sims based off members of Mazuiko Jackson's crew from Neon East in the Urbz. They are based on Loop D. Loop, Sara Tonin. Venus Moonflower and Professor Chewy. They aren't very detailed, basically "townies" as I categorize them, not much outfit variety and a lot of shared items, but I think all of them at least ended up looking pretty distinctive.

 

In terms of traits all of them are pretty similar as well, mosthave Clubber and the Dance Machine machine trait, I couldn't find that much info on the wiki for any of them, Sara Tonin seems like she should own a clothing shop and Professor Chewy's like a scientist or video game designer, he's employed in the scientist career and has programming and video game skills, the others are set unemployed.

 

Below shows a couple of outfits for each of the sims (though not necessarily all of their outfits, and I combined the different elements in different combinations here and there)

@mrrakkonn Hopefully quick question... how do you gather shots for your lookbooks? Screen caps of CAS with pose packs?

I've actually got a lot and save specifically set up to take these pictures (I also use it for giving my sims skills and traits and setting their heights). I take the lookbook pictures at a fixed distance using the grey backdrop for the photo studio. 

 

[ThisGhost]

Brilliant! That's great synergy with the skills and other live-mode-only edits. Thanks!

[ThisGhost]

So... kind of a dumb follow-on question... Do you use an extra sim to take the photos? I have only ever used the photo studio with a photographer sim.

I only really use the photo studio for the backdrop and lighting. I use teleporter statues to put the sims where I want them and then just pose them with pose player. The pictures I just take in TAB photo mode as normal. 

[ThisGhost]

Well, learn something new every day. I have somehow avoided learning about tab mode until now. Thanks again!

AEP Video Studio Lot

 

 

Alright time for something a little bit different! It's a lot I put together a little while back for the personal video studio feature of the AEP Pornography mod (I think that feature might still be Patreon only by the way). I built this lot from the bottom up and I think it turned out well, it's sort of meant to look a bit like a repurposed motel. 

 

      

 

      

As you can see from the floorplan there's a bunch of different rooms and sets here, one of the old motel rooms is empty, because I couldn't quite think of anything to put in it, could maybe serve as a prop storage room for when it becomes necessary to switch around the furniture and decorations on the second floor for whatever you might happen to be filming. 

 

I have included two versions of the lot in the archive, because not everyone might have the patreon version of AEP with the personal video studio feature, so I also saved it as a generic lot for anyone who might want to use it just for storytelling purposes or otherwise. The archive includes the CC used, but I've also used build objects from all manner of packs and expansions in this one, so beware of that. 

 

Also included in the archive are the porn movie posters I've made and occasionally showed in screenshots. Here's a link to download that separately if anyone just wants that.

And to finish this off here's some posed pictures I grabbed from this lot, showing off some of the different rooms and parts of this lot.

 

     

 

     

 

     

 

     

 

     

[mrrakkonn]

I seem to have made a mistake with the upload, so I'm reuploading the archives right now!

 

EDIT: Fixed now!

[mrrakkonn]

I've updated and reuploaded the Rockwell Mansion. Minor changes here and there. Primarily I've changed out the posters in Owen's office and I've placed more speakers around, I recommend using this mod that I found and inspired this change. 

 

I forgot to take preview pictures(sorry!!), but as mentioned it's mostly minor stuff. You might be able to see some of the outdoors changes from this video I posted yesterday, so I'll post it here as well.

Who's that blonde on the left at the bar at the end of the video?

 

[mrrakkonn]

The Rockwell household has now been updated and reuploaded.

Very minor changes (skintones) to Owen and Crassus, however there is one big change and that is the addition of Owen Rockwell's daughter, Charlotte who works the front desk AEP's studio as well as doing miscellaneous errands and production side stuff, in theory at least, in practice she doesn't take the job very seriously and mostly just collects a paycheck. 

 

 

She and her father are somewhat estranged and she grew up with her mother (might make her later on, I basically just crossed Owen with random unused sims by me and others till I got something I felt I could work with), but with Charlotte entering her twenties and still not showing much sign of wanting to make much of herself her mom began pressuring Owen to do his part, get her out of the house and get her a job she can't be fired from, with Owen eventually relenting and sort of making up a job for his daughter at the company. 

 

She's Unflirty, Lazy and has the Calm custom trait by kuttoe, a general theme I was going for with her was that she doesn't really give a shit about most things and is happy to just drift through life, enabled by her family. 

 

I'm packacking her together with Owen and Crassus and I'm putting this description of her into the post describing them. 

 

Charlotte Rockwell

Age: 21

Height: 5'5"

Occupation: Trust Fund Beneficiary (actually supposed to a secretary for the company, but it's sort of actually just her collecting a paycheck)

That's actually not a sim I made, but a sim I got from someone else, I've edited her a bit to sort of fit my style, but yeah not one of mine.

Aversive Appearance

 

 

 

I'll be honest... that's kinda harsh...?

 

In comparison to most of your sims, I mean, yeah, she isn't stunning, and the clothes doesn't do her any favours, but I think that if you wanted her to be actually ugly you missed the mark a bit. I haven't played around with the aversive appearance trait enough to say how much of a differance it does, but if it's anything like the effect of Unique appearance the effects is pretty noticable. Although I guess if you factor in her personality as well that would drag downs people's opinion of her in person... ehhh... I still don't know. Maybe fair, but my first though isn't "ugly" when seeing the sim.

It might be yeah. Though in my experience it doesn't always tank other sims to viewing them as very ugly and such, it might just drop them down a level or two. Basically what I wanted was to make it less likely that other sims would find her attractive and this was the simplest way to do that,. I do believe as you say, that she's not actually ugly, but I do think I somewhat managed to get her looking a little bit unkempt and grungy which is what I was going for.

What dances are those in the video?

[dirksteele90]

Melina Dwyer was looking pretty different in that video. I don't know if it's just me but looked like she had a different hairstyle and bodyshape. Are you planning on re uploading her at some point?

Those are animations by Sync'D Motion and you were able to get them on patreon, unfortunately the creator is no longer active.

I don't think she's noticeably different in terms of body, but I have been updating her slightly in terms makeup and some skin details (and I've been making general outfit changes). And yeah, that's a different hairstyle. She's in the pipeline, but the hairstyle is kind of a "trying out" sort of deal, nothing final.

Ok thank you, that sucks they make great animations. Is there a way to get the downloads still? I looked them up online and i can't find the sims 4 downloads.

[Mesuttt34]

Hey mate this pose is working fine ? im not sure  @mrrakkonn

[mrrakkonn]

@Mesuttt34 I'm pretty sure the pose still works, but I've been noticing an issue with the hip height slider I began using for some sims, including Mazuiko in that it will sometimes bug out and make the sim's upper body bend weirdly, which messes up poses and animations. Time or going into and out of CAS (or going to manage world back to live mode) usually fixes it when it appears.

 

As for the SyncD animations, yeah, as far as I can tell, they're gone now. I don't quite know if this is entirely on the up and up, but for now I'll just stick them here in this post if anyone wants them. They're pose packs and require pose player.
