1st Try at Body Shop... Well, I finally got the basics of body shop down so I tried creating some custom features... I've got a lot to improve on but I thought I'd just share my first custom sim, which is up for download at sims2.com. I mettled with the hair, eye color, and outfit. Opinions appreciated..
Looks real good! I think you did an impressive job. I've tried a little bit with Body Shop and found it difficult to manage.
I spend hours recoloring stuff just for use in my game. It's really hard to keep track of which creators allow that stuff for sharing and which don't, so I just don't share any of it. I'm fond of black. There aren't enough pieces of black clothing in the game, IMHO, so I made more. That, and pink. I like pink. I've recolored stuff that came with the game as well, of course. Maybe I'll share sometime if I get DSL, or more patience. Patterns are harder to make look nice. Recoloring's just a matter of knowing how your graphics program works, but patterns have to line up right or they just look weird. I did make a nice stripey T shirt for teens and little girls, but they still don't approach what I've seen for download. Oh, hey, I could share my black eye! That turned out well. D'you think Josh would allow that? It figures. I make hundreds of pieces of clothing (although most of them were lost in the great motherboard earthquake) and the piece I'm most proud of is a bruise. With or without split lip. You did a nice job with the hearts, Jena.
I like it, Jena. Where's the link? Or am I just having a blonde moment? (eh? It's not grey, it's platinum blonde I tell ya! )
