I accidentally made an extra sim. Actually, I just can't count.
If you're not familiar with the Garden of Shadows Sim Challenge, we get a list of words, and we make a set amount of sims in a month.
This time I was smart and got all my pictures done first. Heck, I even got some play time in, so there are even some names and characters.
Sims are uploaded with one or more of the following:
CC: has any makeup, skintone, hair I used, in a couple cases, clothes, but I avoid that when I can.
MinCC: the minimum amount of cc to keep them looking like themselves. Just makeup, sometimes eyes, no meshes.
NotQuiteNoCC: I forgot to take off one little thing, usually eyes, and I was too lazy to go back before packaging.
NoCC: CC free.
"Gaia"
Name: Harley
Personaliity: Sloppy, agreeable, slightly lazy
Interests: The occult, training her inner psychic, parties, bubble-blowers, pottery, plants
Personal challenge: Harley is not a creative person, her creativity points should never be greater than four. Cheat to bring it down if it gets higher.
Give Harley a home business selling her crappy art, her bubbleblowers, and some very expensive plants.
Personal bonus: If Harley gets a gold pottery badge, you may cheat to reimburse her for a new bubble-blower for every pot she makes.

Amethyst doesn't have a name. Give him one.
I like his eye sockets, but not much else.
I based him off a picture of an amethyst. Because I didn't want to make another random color themed sim. I kind of did anyway.

Name: Robbie
Personality: Bitchy and shy
Interests: Video games. Guns. Pretending he hates all the girls he thinks are beautiful. Because they're mean to him.
Because nothing's pissier than a socially awkward teenage boy.
He's also made off of a new face template, in which I was testing some stuff with mouths and teeth. Unfortunately, the test failed somewhat, and the poor boy has a tendency to get teeth clipping. I'll need to fix this issue before said template (which doesn't look much like him) gets released.

(Was actually the original recipient of above mentioned template, but I didn't like the way the lower half of the face worked (the mouth was too angry for floaty little mist). However, she does have actual geneticly asian eyelids, even though I've still given her some eyeshadow on top of that, just for the sake of shading.)
Name: Sienna
Personality: Tidy, driven, serious, kind
Interests: Mountains, hiking, finding inner peace
Personal challenge: Family loyalty: If any of her family members become furious with a sim, make her furious at that sim as well.
Personal bonus: Cracking open her file in Simpe, give major bonuses to her energy modifier--she should almost never need to sleep.

Wow, I am feeling drawn to these rebellious fighting women this month.
This sim is based off rebel leader "Catherine" in the game Riven (sequel to better known "Myst").
Make her dead serious, kind and active. After the war, I'm sure she'd love to get back to her family.
The first thing she did when she arrived in my game was tell the Sim next to her how awful bombs were.

Makes me think of Macintosh. Which makes me think hipster. So I made a coffee shop apple computer hipster. He wears maxis clothes to be ironic, and he will pick fights with pc and linux users.

Wow, I made two bubble-blowers too? Of course, now that I think about it, hipsters and angry teenage boys would do a bit of Bubble as well. Well, my game is apparently made up of nothing but druggies and badass fighting women. So be it.
Name: Glenn
Personality: Kind, almost lazy, sloppy
Interests: Surfing, girls
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD noCC "Sober"
Well shoot. Apparently substance abuse is rampant in my neighborhood. Next month I'll have to make myself some cops and better parents.
Name: Nash
Personality: On the outgoing, playful side, nothing too much in any direction.
I haven't played with this guy yet, but he's my favorite creation of the month.
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD NO CC "Pinup"
There's only one good Pinup girl hair in the simworld, and I don't like the texture.
The only other thing that came to mind were those planes in WWII with the ladies on the side, and those poor, sexually frustrated young men.
I now know, with many thanks to Sundried, that the movie I was thinking of when I was making this is called "The Memphis Belle". I had a bleary recollection of Sean Astin playing a plumpy, childish pilot...? No, I think he was just a gunner... anyway, I based this on what I remembered of him, and now that I know, I can name this sim after the character:
Name: Rascal
Personality: Childish, playful, socially awkward
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD NoCCDOWNLOAD CC And with that, we return to the rebel ladies theme
"Fire"
You know when there was a lot of fire? The French Revolution.
This sim's face is based off that awesome lady in that famous painting... shoot, I never did figure out what the name of it was... D:
The one where her chest is hanging out heroically and there's a load of Hollywood looking explosions in the back? That one.
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD CC "Dolphin"
She's based off a dolphin. Surprise!
She's got smallish, buggy, beady eyes, that are wide set. No eyebrows, a wide mouth that smiles easy and high cheeks.
Also, this was the best excuse I've had to use those scars so far. Damn those boat propellers!
Name: Darla
Personality... um, she's a dolphin. She's playful and whatever.
I'm running out of time to write proper descriptions, and I want to get this posted before rehearsal, because I won't have any time for a while after that. D:
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD noCCDOWNLOAD CC Enigma
Or maybe secret. I made him for enigma, but he fits secret better in the end. Really, the words mean similar things to me. Just one has scientists, computers and Nazis involved.
Sorry, I've only got one picture.
You're just going to have to trust me when I say that his mouth never shows.
DOWNLOAD noCC "Gold"
Somewhere between "I'll bury you like treasure" and Goldy Hahn, I got this sim.
Except there's not a lot of Goldy, because I felt like making her eyes smaller.
Name: Honey
Personality: Shy... and some other stuff probably.
Probably, bad things happen to this sim. Because being "buried like treasure" sounds like it would suck.
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD notquitenoCCDOWNLOAD CC "Lithium"
Because all I could think of was Nirvana.
Inspired by, not a replica of, the album cover.
I named her Needles. She's genetically dark haired, but inclined to dye her hair.
Preview 2 DOWNLOAD noCCDOWNLOAD CC "Lust"
Her name is Pony.
She's got a big mouth. The better to eat you up.
She likes puppy videos. Hates politics. And craves some one she can't have, in ways she'd never admit.
Though "Sober" is my favorite design, Pony is a blast to play.
She's small and sweet and rather manipulative. Though she tries not to be.
