Be-Cygnus-Smiths - mini update
Not much to show here because I've been slacking. Also, and this is kind of dumb, but I had gotten disenchanted with the skintone I was using, but I was also feeling too lazy to try out some new ones, and that kept me from playing. Seriously. I didn't say it was logical.
But anyway. Number 3 daughter Chastity, she who looked so wistful at the end of the last update, has begun courting her childhood friend. Formerly known only as Homework Telepathy Boy, it seems his name is actually Kristofer or something. I should write this stuff down.
Mindy looks on approvingly!
HTB aka Kristofer is pretty cute. But see, I'm just... ugh! There is something about the skin. It's not as noticeable sometimes, but other times it really bothers me. I had to sharpen this pic just to even be able to post it, and the skin is still a bit fuzzy and out-of-focus looking.
It would probably help if I had a better graphics card, of course.
Number 2 daughter, Jolene, has had yet another makeover. She looks so pretty now, you'd never know she was such an awkward teen. Even the maid man notices.
"Did the maid just say he'd like to get me into bed?"
And see, now the skin looks fine to me. >_<
Oh well, it's time for another birthday celebration!
Mindy's face makes me think that Golly just laid a stinky one. "Ugh, no more bean dip for you, mister." Oh, also, I decided to remove Mindy's mint green face paint (part of my skintone botheration) though I might put it back.
It's Caspian's adult birthday. Yes, hard to believe, but this man with three teenage daughters is only now reaching adulthood. That is what happens when you're not paying attention when you make a family in CAS.
The birthday enthusiasm is palpable.
Polly's getting into the spirit, at least!
And there he goes.
And that's basically it, because like I said I've been slacking.
However, I DID download one new skintone to try out. It's one of the Ephemera skins. I actually wanted to try a different one also by Ephemera, but I had trouble figuring out the Chinese website, even with my browser translating. This one was actually on MTS (here) so I was able to easily download it.
What do you think? I need to check in different lighting, and on different sims, but I do like some things about it. It seems sharper and clearer on the face. On the other hand it seems a little shiny. And there are dark shadows under the eyes (Caspian kind of has them normally, but it's not just him, they all have dark shadows to some extent). So I don't know.
I had tried some others a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I don't remember what all they were. Mostly I've been using Tamo's which is very close to the Maxis one. Tamo's just replaces the faces. I tried another that was just faces, but the color didn't match at the neck. Another one was full faces/bodies, but the muscle definition was messed up, so even skinny non-muscular sims appeared to have muscles, and I didn't like that. Wish I remember what it was so I can avoid it... oh well, I guess if I run across it again, at least then I'll know which one it is.
Rambling, pointless post is rambling and pointless!
I have a few Spore screenies to share too, in another post. It finally arrived today. :)
