The Extraordinary KB (by request) *UPDATED! 12.28.10*
After two days, and way too many hours of searching, tweaking, and messing around in the Sims 2 bodyshop. I have finally finished the one and only Kate Beckett (portrayed by Stana Katic). It was of course, version 3 of Kate Beckett, a demand.. err request by my sister. Well here she is. I tried my best and I hope you like her!
UPDATE: Hair mesh has been found and you no longer have to download the specific sim listed inside to get it. You can find the mesh HERE.
This little sim took me FOREVER to make. This woman has a face so hard to build that it drives someone nuts! However, from playing around in TS2 for far too long, I realized a sim will never be perfect. You put all the effort you can into it and just hope for the best. I personally think she came out nice. There are odds and ends about her I wish I knew how to fix.. but.. I'm not going to attempt to make her better because I would probably just make her up.
The HARDEST part about making her was the hair. There are thousands upon thousands of hair for TS2 out there. Yet for some reason the specific style that I was looking for seemed to not exist. So after trying a TON of hairs out, I settled for what I thought looked the best. And the hilarious story about that.. I actually didn't get the hair from a sims hair download. I had to download a sim, and recolor the hair myself because it was the only hair that really worked. So, the only thing included hair wise is my edited version. I did not include the mesh but will link you to where to get it.
--WARNING--
This sim requires a lot of CC and you must download ALL of it for her to work in your game. I will link you to every last piece. Please do not just download the Sim file. Ignorance = Fail.
Anywho, about KB: AKA Kate Beckett. Kate Beckett, better known as Detective Beckett is from a popular TV series called Castle. For all you Castle fans out there, to the best of my knowledge this is the only Kate Beckett Sim out there. I had two previous versions. The first one was very lovely and a gift for my sister. However, due to computer problems, she is now unavailable for the rest of eternity. Version 2 of Kate turned out pretty well but just didn't seem to cut it. There was something about her.. Maybe I just such at making sims? *shrug*
This is version 3.3 of Kate Beckett and I will most likely NOT be making another one. It was a request by my sister so I did ti one last time. I was also extremely bored and wanted something to do. (lol)
Here are some other photo's of her:
Doesn't she just look lovely?
