Characters in other places

[Msasi]

I'm a big fan of The Sims 2. I tend to name my characters randomly, whatever pops into my head at the time. From time to time, a sim tends to end up with the name of one of my characters.

Having been playing a family where I've been using god/goddess names, one of the kids finally ended up being a Waset. HERE SHE BE.



Isn't that potty nice she pretty? And to think she resulted from a hiccup in the game. When her mom was giving birth, the birth cycle got stuck in a loop.. so instead of one baby, she had four. XD But it was worth it because I got Waset out of the deal, and she is amusing.

And I just noticed her outfit nearly matches the bathroom. Doh.

Anyway! I'll share more if I dig up pictures. Anyone else use their characters/names of their characters in places outside of MUCKing/roleplaying/writing?

PS - Sorry for my sudden semi-absence. Trying to get in to see a doctor to get some medicine for this stupid cold/flu/Plague/whatever I have has been absolutely obnoxious. D: Hopefully now that I have some drugs sweet sweet drugs to knock me unconscious for hours on end I'll be back on my feet here shortly.

I <3 your sims. Waset is pretty! And that is one very nice toilet.

I actually don't have sims named after any of my Sunrise characters...or any Morrowind characters named after my Sunrise characters...

So here, have a completely unrelated screenshot!



Scheherazade, generation 4 toddler, cuddling Waggles, a stray the family adopted through the magic of InSim from the shelter.

Don't comment on her name. Her father is...weird. ;D

Dude, I've made entire DYNASTIES of Sunrise royalty in the Sims before, just for fun. I effing love the Sims. But there's a lot I still can't figure out.... like how to download ANYTHING new (houses, hair, etc), so my fun with it has gotten kind of limited.

Now I'm going to go make an Elim'. And figure out how to take screenshots. And then I shall POST IT.

[Msasi]

I forgot to mention Waset is a generation 8 person. xD She has a daughter, Demeter, and another kiddo on the way. Yay, Sims!

Sho. Toddlers cuddling animals is the cutest thing ever. I swear I have a zillion pictures! Might have to show some off. HMMM. ALSO. I like the name Scheherazade. XD

YAY ELIM. And just give a shout about what part of downloading new stuff you're having trouble with. Sho and I are Teh_Experts!

And YES. An Elim! With pictures! Taking pictures is easy. Just press 'C' in game to take a picture. Then go to:
My Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2>Neighborhoods
(here it depends on what neighborhood your sims are in.. just peek through them until you find the pictures you're looking for; Pleasantview is N001, Strangetown is N002, Veronaville is N003.. and etc after that). So..
My Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2>Neighborhoods>*whatever neighborhood folder here*>Storytelling
In the storytelling folder, I arrange pictures by date, so that the newest ones will be at the bottom of the folder (easier to find).. so right click on an empty space:
Arrange Icons By>Modified
Then find your picture, upload it to photobucket or some such and share.

OR. If you have Paint or Photoshop.. you can just take a regular screenshot instead of an in-game picture. Just press PrtScrn button (above Insert/Home/PageUp). Go to Paint/PhotoShop and open a new document. Edit>Paste. Resize/edit as needed. Save. Upload. Share.

seems I will have to get this game just to do cute things on it.. I hate you all for talking about it XD

[Elimnyama]

YAY for figuring out the pictures. SO, here's an Elim-Sim. Lookin'... pissed off about something! ;D

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade

Because that's a GREAT name for a baby in a neighbourhood where most other children are named things like Alvin and Ivy! ;D

Then again...he wasn't a very good father anyway. This illustrates most of 'Hera's infancy/toddlerhood very well:



'Daddy? Pay attention to me please?'

'Not now dear, I'm kicking your mother's (insert stupid filter word here) at SSX 3! '

*facepalms*

I vote for a general sims topic. Because none of mine are Sunrise-related. XD

In fact, I think I shall make one!

(PS: Elim sim is pissed off because he hasn't got a hot tub. Sims need them, you know. To SURVIVE! I once had a sim who died from not having a hot tub. It was sad.

Or maybe it was because his hunger bottomed out. One of those!)

[Msasi]

Elim sim is just mad because Waset sim is with ANOTHER GUY. Gaspohmygreatkings.

He also looks awesome. YAY ELIM SIM! XD

Don't you just love neglectful sim parents? I had a pair who cried more over the fact that the burglar stole their big screen TV than they did when 3 (or 4, I forget) of their kids were taken by the social worker. XDD

I agree with a sims topic. Make one! Or.. I can turn this one into one. YAY SIMS WOO!

I'll dig up some pictures to share. Because sims are hi-larious.

I'm not really sure if this is appropriate to the discussion, but the original thread asked if we used our characters/names etc. outside of Mucking/role-playing etc. These may not be SIMs but... well, here's a few screenshots of my second-life avatar based on my character here on Sunrise:



And here is a photograph of my 'fursuit'. The costume of my character that I wear to furry conventions and other local events:

[Msasi]

Oooh. Nice, Zia. n_n

The head for your fursuit look really nicely done. I hear it's not easy making those. Did you make it yourself? Or was it commissioned? You've probably mentioned before, and I just have the memory of a gnat. XD;

[Arazia]

It was commissioned from a fellow fur named WhiteyFawks who runs ArendStudios (www.arendstudios.com). I made one head myself of a wolf and haven't really tried to do it again. I realized that in the time it would take me to properly learn how to do it, I'd waste more money than just buying the few costumes I plan on getting.

So far I have the one above, a white tiger costume for my husband made by LatinVixen of Mixedcandy Studios (www.mixedcandy.com), and I plan on trying to buy a bengal cat-mage costume for sometime in 2009.

I'm a dork, yup.

[Msasi]

Ooohyes. That's right, that's right. I believe you've told me that before. I DO have the memory of a gnat! xD
