Will: Epic Upload of Doom! Template, Sim, and Clothes
This is Will.
You can have him with all his CC or with none, the CAS Template I edited in Milkshape for him, and several recolors of some clothes I made for him.
You should know that I didn't design his face. There's this actor, see, and I desperately want to draw him, but I'm too chicken to ask.
So I settled for a Facebook stalk and a sim caricature. God I wish I could have found a nice curly hair...
You know what the coolest thing is? The guy is actually built to smile like a sim. He's in that awesome face type whose lip corners actually curl up when they smile. Dies of cool. I want to study it sooo bad...
Will, As I See Him:
Will is mostly a self-centered bastard. But a good natured one, and with a strong moral compass.
If the wrongs of the world weren't banging on his front door, he probably wouldn't bother leaving his mirror in the morning.
But they are, so he's second or third in command in the revolutionary army. He craves power and attention.
He dresses flamboyantly, and honed some mad swordsmanship.
He also craves pretty clothes, and good mead. Which is hard to find post-zombie-apocalypse.
(Also, I made this pose for him. This is absurd.)
The Download Business:
This sim will not look like himself in a game with sim detail set to low!
It's twice as much work to do low res, and It'll never look good anyway. If your sims have fingers, you're fine.
Two versions.
First: A fat .rar with everything that makes him Pretty included. The CC list below shows it all.
The hair texture is mine on a Peggy mesh (Mesh included).
The clothes are my own retexture, one third maxis, one third Helena, one third hand drawn, on a mesh by Cocomama. So many thanks to Helena. Previews of his clothes are shown a few pictures down. Mesh included.
For people like me, who like getting sims to fit in their own game, but also want them to look like themselves, I've highlighted the low impact, most game matching, most look-enhancing important bits. If you just want the bare minimum, Clean Install those suckers.
They are, in order: a lipstick, a layerable lip overlay found in lipstick, three eye shape masks, an eyeliner, and a bit of highlight for his nose.
His eyes are stupidly labeled "AlfredAskew Brown" because I apparently fail at tooltips, and I adore Needlecream's skin on him, so I suggest that too if it fits your style.
Second: A bitty .rar with um, almost no CC, I noticed too late that I'd forgotten to remove the eyes. But it's such a small texture, and it's so late, I decided I'd just leave it. :/

(Note: my graphics have transparency issues. That hair glitch on the left isn't the hair's fault.)
(See those ears? They're genetic! For the babies, and the adults and the teens and the elders! I built them special. They make me gleeful.)
Clothings!
As Almighty Hat called them, his "post apocalyptic Medieval fop jester courtier bard" clothes.
That made me absurdly happy.
The red is the original, and arguably the cleanest, recolor. I've also made a purple and red, a black and white, and a more subdued green sans zippers version. As requested.
And if that doesn't please you, you can also have the massive psd file with all the textures and overlays and whatnot. The shadows, the zippers, the seems, the texture, the diamonds: all that jazz is in separate, labeled layers. Feel free to pull it apart for whatever. :3
Mesh included.

CAS Template 21: Cat-Eyed Will
Finally, the template. It's not exactly him, I edited him from this template.
This is actually pretty groovy from a sim breeding standpoint. He provides more genetic diversity than the usual template based sim.
This template will only replace the high res meshes!
It's twice as much work to do low res too, and It'll never look good anyway. Again, you only need to worry about this if your sims don't have fingers.
Why template 21? Because it made sense relative to the templates I already had made. Selfish, yes. If you desperately want it in some other number, it's a simple export/import job in Simpe.
Though his brows are low, and his eyes are kind of slanty and cat-ish, I fixed the upper eyelid to be a normal, smooth curve.
I built the nose almost completely from scratch. Mostly because at this point, its faster for me to do noses in Milkshape. BS leaves lumps in weird places.
The area around his mouth and cheeks has been worked over like a a fluffy cat at a kids party. I made the lumps at the corners of the mouth more pronounced, and the "nasal labial fold", the fold coming off the nose, much wider and softer.
The ears are shaped to be proportional, and parallel to his nose, and they stick out, and are tilted at an unusual angle.
I rearranged the area under the eyes to make nicer shadows across the cheekbone, and did something I don't quite remember to the jaw.
The face is actually widened all the way back to the ears. Something I don't understand Maxis never did. Widening the upper face should widen all the vertices corresponding with the cheekbones, not just the ones in front. *head scratch*.
And I spent a little time correcting proportions across the ages.
This is also based on my CAS Heart replacement, so all the changes and improvements I did in there translate.
