Mini-thoughts: Sims 4

I don't know how to feel about Sims 4 right now. The Create-A-Sim looks great with being able to take body parts and drag them to look exactly like you want. The home building looks cool, especially being able to take a whole room and move it where you want it. My God, how useful that would have been in my TS2 houses.

BUT

I don't like the look of the sims themselves. They look like they were made for a Facebook game or a phone app. I almost prefer the puddin-faces of Sims 3. I'm sure there will be some very talented creators to make them look a little less Facebook-ish, so long as EA reverts back to how easy adding CC was in TS2. That whole resource-file-core-mod stuff was ridiculous and half the time my tiny brain couldn't get it to work... Siiiigh. I dunno, EA, but you damn well better put horses in TS4, too. Also, please no rabbit holes. Loading screens > rabbit holes.

Rainbow Legacy Challenge: The Hues, Part Twos

Please don't judge my need to rhyme. It makes me sad when you judge with your face.You may judge Shafa with your face, though. He has more important things to do then care.

So, Shafa was a poor lonely guy. He met plenty of people at work, but they just weren't doing anything for him, not to mention the policy on workplace relationships. He ended up calling a matchmaker/gypsy because as we all know, they are the absolute authority in finding matches from a crystal ball....
Looking at it now, I realize she was wearing yellow when she came in. Maybe those matchmakers really do know what they're doing. Until you look closer and realize she's a teenager. We'll say 19 here. Yeah..... Her name is Merideth Leelaporn, too. I'd be lying if I said I didn't giggle once or twice.

Shafa... Not sure this is a good idea.

To avoid any more creepiness, I aged her into a young adult and sent her to college with Squinge's Mega College Pack mod (Find it here). Gave her a little makeover and BAM!

I'm sexy and I know it buh ba da da bum bum!

And then someone decided my house looked good to score on. Thankfully, I remembered the alarm system and then this fight ensued in my living room. If I remember correctly, he was taken to jail by this very abusive cop right here. Is this how a police officer takes down criminals normally? I mean, I'm not sure if a fist slap fight would work too well. Then again, if your house is on fire, you rarely stand there dancing and yelling at it.

Speaking of, has anyone ever seen what happens when something catches on fire and there's an infant in the area? Someone will actually pick it up and run it outside. I thought that was the coolest thing! Usually sims aren't that intelligent... 

OH NO YOU DI-INT GURL!

Shafa tried to make dinner for his big proposal to Merideth a while later. I think they decided he should never become a chef based on those results. Of course, Merideth started picking on him something awful, so his response was, "Well then, maybe I should just take this back." He smiled at her as he pushed the box across the table. Then this face and fun times ensued. He may have been a little more successful if he hid the ring in a box of chinese takeout.....
This is not her gasping at the ring. She is trying not to puke from the food.

 I loved when they added this in...Apartment Life, I think? It's just so cute and they look so happy. Best graduation gift ever. We'll leave it up to the imagination what happened before this, however.
<3

 Shafa was then promoted in his job and got what may be the SEXIEST work attire ever. Are you ready? Brace yourselves.....
I'm sexy and I....I think I used that caption already.

Merideth grew in more ways than one once she graduated.... Here she is not able to get enough food because damn growing human! How dare you consume everything I ate!?
Om nom nom nom nom!

Next post is baby time! You get to see the *ahem* fruit of their labor, if you will. Thanks everyone!

Neopets as Sims

I realized after my last post that I never got a good picture of Shafa's face. So I think I'll post his neopets picture up as well as a short bio as to who he is.

The first one here is Shafa as a Sim and as a Neopet. I think he's purdy. As a character for a kinda sorta story I came up with, Shafa is the "protector" of Ightero. Though Ightero is the warrior and leader of this band of misfits, Shafa has been there for him since they were children and will always be by his side.

The rest of them can be found at Neopets on one of my pet's page. Ightero (Iggy) is one of the first ones on the page, so you can see how different he is from that lovable little kitten!
