WIP Sims, show them off and or ask for guidance

[Krolista]

Marlenna Bancroft, still fairly early in her design. She will be a singer.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

Vanessa Montress

Still not entirely sure what I want to do with her yet, other than she will be from Tartosa

 

Spoiler

 

Dimitra Adamos

Also from Tartosa (she is supposed to be Greek), thinking I will put her in law enforcement or the secret agent career.

 

Spoiler

 

Have since altered her eyes a bit to now look like this.

 

 

Irena Kos and Tessa Volkaire, friends and partners in crime with another WIP sim that I have shown before, named Audrey.

 

Spoiler

Irena Kos

 

 

Tessa Volkaire

 

 

Audrey (Haven't settled on a last name yet.)

 

 

And two that are going to be strippers or porn stars, not really sure yet.

edit: They will be strippers, with Andrea owning the bar/strip club.

 

Spoiler

Andrea Vixen

 

 

Heather Lust

 

 

And another just for laughs, is modifying the second sim that I made (the first was the earliest version of William Grey), to bring her up to snuff with the rest.

 

Spoiler

Anise Forsythe

 

 

I am working on a few male sims, and a whole family at the moment, but I don't really have any good pictures of them. Will post some eventually.

I like the eye adjustment you made, definitely an improvement. Obviously subjective but that's just my opinion ^^

Thanks!

Yeah another member suggested that her eyes looked droopy, and the more I looked at the eyes, the more I began to agree.

 

[Rakanitchoe]

@Krolista You tried a darker colour for Andrea Vixen's brows? They seem...dunno, too light?

 

But either way looks more finished than the one below

Yeah I have, her hair isn't quite finalized yet, probably going to make a custom color swatch for it. Still playing around with the body proportions and details on quite a few of them as well, mostly just have the faces done.

 

Then the part that hangs me up the most, the wardrobe...

 

And yeah Anise looks very rough and unfinished, just wanted to show what she looks like now before I really start to redesign her.

When it comes to wardrobe issues, I'm trying to make a Selvadorada 'ancient' native. But there's just no inca/aztec/maya outfits and cc for it is pretty tedious to find. She's supposed to be a chance encounter for ruins explorers.

So something I've done for some sims in the past is give them blemishes for their workout or sleeping outfits...really any outfit that doesn't have makeup (funny enough to do that I have to use makeup)

 

But for this one I did freckles. Think it's a nice detail to have

What you could do for this if you want, guessing the idea is that the freckles are kind of covered up by makeup. Is to take the specific freckles (as makeup) that you used and make a cloned version for the seldom used facepaint category, that way you could use it across most outfits even those with makeup, turn the opacity of them for those outfits so that it's still there but hard to notice unless you look closely, which will further reinforce the idea of being covered up the makeup.

Excellent idea

Created some androids for random duties in my save.
Thinking about sharing them, but not sure yet.

Hey neat! I'd download and use them, for a new save game I'm planning.

[JBILANT]

This is one of my primary sims (I've had her around for over two years) and she'll likely be making an appearance in the near future

[Krolista]

Another WIP sim that I'm still dorking around with.

 

Diedre Hoffman

 

 

 

[evilelf]

Wow...Diedra is a nice one. I could see her in my 1970's playthough/story.

 

However, I'm currently time-warped back into the 1920's and trying my best to create the super hot actress, Louise Brooks, and failing. She may be 60% there, but something is still off. Here is what I have so far. Included a photo of her for comparison:

Thanks, I was trying to go for a 1980's Miami Vice look for Diedre (Guess I should have used a white Ferrari Testarossa, instead of a 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach. ?).

 

Your Louise Brooks sim looks pretty good. Her jaw might be a touch too wide and low, or it might be the camera perspective/angle between the two pictures throwing it off?

Thanks for the suggestion. I made the changes. Though subtle, they made a difference. She is still not 100%, but I think this is the best I'm going to be able to manage without going way overboard with alpha-textures or many more sliders. Her body still needs work. The Sims 4 is fairly biased against her natural, "Venus" body type with bigger legs and small breasts. Slim body parts just seem to work better with the engine...unfortunately.

Meant to respond to this post yesterday, sorry 'bout that. 

 

Her face is looking pretty good.

 

I know that you said you didn't really want to use any more sliders, but vibrant pixels has a horizontal breast position slider that might help alter Louise's breast shape some. 

 

It is called vibrantpixels_horizontalBreastPositionSlider_upperArm (If you put that into a search it should take you right to the file)

 

Cmar also has a breast separation slider that might help, cmar_BreastSeparationSliderV3.

Good suggestion...I had Cmar's loaded in the mods folder but it was deactivated. Did not know about vibrantpixel's breast separation slider. I'll check it out. Any difference between the two besides the hotspot?

 

I'm planning to tackle some more 1970's women next. Maybe try Sylvia Kristel or Jenny Agutter. Both look to be a challenge. Thanks again...you've been a huge help!

Somebody else might be able to offer more insight, but the vibrantpixels slider seems like it moves the breast in a different way, kind of spreads the breasts apart instead of just separating them.

 

Eartha Kitt, Pam Grier, Madeline Kahn, and Teri Garr would be fun to make, going with the 60's 70's theme.

[Tibo131]

Got back to this sim and made 3 more Everyday outfits. Though any suggestions for changes are welcome. Also I think the hairstyle for the 2nd and 4th works in terms of her normal length when it's not pulled up but sometimes it's hard for me to tell.

 

Also her dress in the last one seems to of made her shoes have a glitch so that will be fixed definitely lol

Is it wrong that I think the glitched shoes actually look cool?

[Tibo131]

Sometimes when that type of glitch happens it actually does create an effect that looks neat...rarely tho...up close the shoes look janky ?

So use the five foot rule, and don't get too close? ?

 

Eyelashes always piss me off, "Oh hey, this hair looks good! (Eyelashes turn into a horror show) Shit... ?".
