Dare #028: Fandom, anyone?
This is a challenge I've always wanted to do, and at least two other members have mentioned the same idea for dares too, so I know I'm not the only one ;)
The main idea will be to recreate a fictional character using a maxis-premade sim and any kind of CC you may need. (including skin and eyes)
It can be any character from tv shows, movies, cartoons, anime, even books or other games, as long as it is a fictional character (not music, reality shows, athletes, etc) and you can use any ea/maxis premade sim (TS2 or TS3), including default townies and NPCs.
However, to leave the challenge as open as possible, everyone will be welcome to approach this Fandom theme in alternative ways as well.
You will even be allowed to break a few usual rules, so everyone can really enjoy the challenge, but a few restrictions will still need to be respected so read the rules carefully, and don't hesitate to ask if in doubt.
Like said, the main idea is to recreate a fictional character.
For this you can pick your sim based on facial features, so they look as close to the character as possible, but it can also be something more like cosplay, or simply your fav. sims dressed like your fav. characters (even if they don't "look" too much alike)
You can use any kind of cc and as much as you need. Including custom skins and eyes.
And, because not even all the CC can do the miracles that special/visual effects can do, for this challenge you will be allowed to change up two features in a sim face (eyes, ears, mouth, brows, and/or nose only. No face shape) with plastic surgery (or modifiers in CAS), BUT ONLY IF it is required to recreate the character. (it can't be for aesthetics reasons)
This is mostly for alien-ish characters, but it can only be for those with very prominent/peculiar features, however you must show in you post what was changed and why in all cases of plastic surgery.
OR
If you want to try something different, you can find your own way to mix your favorite fandom with premades.
Some alternative examples could be:
- Write a Sims/(other fandom) crossover fic. (any length). If you do this, you do not need to include pictures, so no one finds an obstacle in taking complicated shots. Just make sure the premade sims are clearly part of the main plot.
- Imagine a sim is a fan of your favorite program, and give him/her a makeover accordingly; or write about him/her visiting a convention about the show, for example (no picts if you do this either)
- Make a fandom inspired room/house makeover for your favorite sim. If you do this, it doesn't have to be completely literal or 100% specific. It could be like a general topic with just a few more fandom specific pieces. For example, it could be a general scifi/space themed room, with a X-wing model in the desk or a mix of different movie/tv show model ships.
- Makeover a premade house/lot to look like the house (or building, place, etc) in you fav. show or movie. (like the Goth mansion into the Addams mansion). Not much building restrictions if you do this (just avoid bulldozing the original construction completely).
In short, almost anything goes for this one.
You just need a ea/maxis premade sim/lot, a fandom, and go nuts! ;)
