My game hasn't changed enough to make a sixth birthday special worthwhile, but I've made y'all a little present anyway: Four Sims, extracted and cloned by me, and presented in Base Game clothing. (Except for their outerwear, which requires Seasons.)
I've included links to the cc you will need to make these sims look like themselves again. It's all Mac compatible. The sims were cloned in a post-Pets Bodyshop, but it is fully patched, so they should still work for people who only have EPs lower than Pets. If they don't, please let me know! I might not be able to do anything, but I'd be willing to try. Worst come to worst, they're mostly template faces and now that you have the links to the cc, you could probably recreate them in about two seconds.
Thank you for reading all these years! You guys are the BEST!
GOLDBERGHair and everyday outfit is from the EA Store *cough

Aaron Goldberg (the character) is a combination detective/lawyer. He is socially awkward, disorganized, easily irritated, and on poor terms with his mother and her second family. He is also intelligent, very good at his job, honest to a fault, and unwilling to compromise his principles or take advantage of others, even if it means that he doesn't have very much money.
Richard Tellerman (the actor) is the son of noted actor Komei Tellerman. His parents weren't actually married, but he was acknowledged by Komei, and changed his name as an adult to further his career. He tends to extend a joke or a scenario too long and is a bit slow to pick up social cues, but is quite outgoing and gets along well with others.
SILENT LADYHair and everyday outfit are both from the EA Store *cough
MATYcough*
For true verisimilitude, Silent Lady has tattoos from two tattoo overlay boxes originally by SpaceDoll at MTS:
Maxis and
Sailor JerryQuintica made versions of these tattoo boxes that don't disappear at their LJ:
Maxis and
Sailor JerryThe actress does not have tattoos, so it's up to you if you use 'em or not.
Silent Lady (the character) is brilliant, competent, organized, outgoing, and efficient. She is, as her name implies, completely silent, communicating through a combination of mime, gesture, and sounds that do not involve the vocal cords like sighs or whistles. She does not sign, write any more notes than a completely verbal person would, or have telepathic powers. She does have multiple, elaborate tattoos and a Mysterious Past.
Rowena Hartford (the actress) is a talented mime and comedienne who began working as a child on a now-defunct sitcom. She is popular at parties and likes to read. She can also fart tunes, sometimes in harmony with her armpit farts.

Akira Murakame (the character) is a kitsune (a Japanese fox spirit that can change shape) who works as a detective. Most kitsune take the shape of either beautiful young women or wise old men, but Murakame has taken the form of a young man on the grounds that it is attractive to 90% of the female population. He is outgoing, easygoing, and tries to do his best in a tough job.
Abhijeet Fujiyama (the actor) is from Pleasantview, and knows no actual Japanese besides "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." His real life personality is so close to that of his character that he doesn't have to act all that much.

AElfric Thornleaf (the character) is an aloof, powerful elf lord near the top of elven society. He is filthy rich and owns lots of humans, who he considers to be less than real people, and by "people," he means "elves." Thornleaf would be far kinder to a dog than to a human. He and Goldberg are often at odds.
Jimmy-Bob McCletus III (the actor) is of self-described "hillbilly" stock. He speaks seven languages fluently, including Japanese and Yiddish, and can shoot milk three feet out of his nostrils if he is allowed to use a straw to inhale it first.
