Summer in Familiarity - 3.2

[ndainye]

Continuing the Summer Rotation in Familiarity, I have seven more households to share.  This group contains several recognizable faces as well as a few more distantly related groups.  There are small spoilers in this bunch, while I'm not going to give any big plots away there are several expected but not yet seen happenings below the cuts.  If you

I love these posts so much! I forgot to comment on the last one, but it's usually me gushing about yoyr CC and your AMAZING houses. I seriously love the way all of the houses are decorated/landscaped/look on the outside.

Evita London is so... interestingly sharp. Her nose is serious, what nose is that?

BO AND ALEX STILL LOOK FIERCE, even as elders. <333 them.

I didn't notice you changed your CC! The skins look great, and I love your eyes. The change is subtle, but great.

Archimedes is an awesome name, but I do miss the naming theme from the last seven gens. How will I know who is what gen? D:

Dyan is awesome looking. Her hair and lipstick combo is delicious.

The Nova house is seriously one of the most gorgeous houses I have ever seen.

Can't wait for more!

I'm not sure where Evita got the nose from, I think it was from Bo Bross spouse of Amelia. The nose is in several lines and he's the only real connection I can think of.

I do quite like Bo and Alex's elder looks, I was very happy with how they turned out.

I recently switched to personal Phasmaxian and Easy-Lucky-Free edits. I'll have a few oddities in upcoming chapters but unless you're really zooming in on the faces, I don't think it's that noticeable.

Too many headaches connected to finding enough F names, so I had to drop the scheme. It was somewhat easier to find names when I had it though :)

Dyan's pretty cool, she is one of my few sims that can carry off custom hair.

Yay for Familiarspam! Even if it's just a quick glimpse I love getting to see each of your houses in the rotation. Partially because we can see the houses themselves, and also because I love that you play EVERYONE. :) IT's so awesome and inspiring.

Yay! I like touching on everyone at least once in a while. Can't really do it in an actual update these days. I figure once a sim year is pretty good for updates, not overwhelming but just enough to peek at the hood.

Familiars! YAY! I love seeing how everyone is doing.

I love the Nova house. I had to build a country/farm house not too long ago and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make that odd shaped roof with the two different slants. I have a fondness for yellow houses anyway. My best friend when I was a kid lived in a yellow house. 8D

Scout has to be the ugliest dog I ever did see. He could have been a prototype for Doc's chupacabra. I think you should package him and let someone doing an Uglacy have a copy. Aw, but he's so ugly he's cute in his own homely way.

I love seeing the Familiars! How long does it take you to play through a rotation anymore?

The Nova house roof is a combination of two types of roofing and using the individual roof height tool. I really like the height tool and cheats and have had a lot of fun playing with various roofs around the hood. I really like the house as a whole, partially because it looks nice and partially because I adore the sims inside of it.

Scout is UGLY, to a degree he's so ugly that he's cute but I just could not see breeding him into the main line.

In the main hood I'd say it takes about a month maybe a bit more to play the rotation. If I have simming time available I play about one house a night. Add on the UNI hood and it gets longer. It takes me forever to get out chapters but that's due to my writing and staging procrastination and rarely due to playing.

Haha, I remember Scout! He is .... something :D I understand why you didn't want him in the main line.

Bo and Alex are still awesome - and their grandson looks like a charmer as well. Fun seeing Emlen and Electra again too! I remember them from your teenheaddesk posts :)

I love seeing your sims and their houses - I've "copied" the Nova house and several others in my game - they're pretty, playable and big enough to house the families in my hood. Both my sims and I say thanks ;)

Scout is something, exactly what I have no clue :)

I'm really pretty happy with Bo and Alex's elder looks. Archie I think is going to end up being a lot like his father, won't really know looks wise till he's a teen both Emily's and Euclid's genes tend to pop out at that point. Emlen and Electa are fun, Emlen especially is one of my favorites for this generation.

Aww yay for houses that are playable! That's really the most important thing to me :)

Yay picspam!

Bo and Alex look great as elders! It'll be weird to see them as such, though.

Poor Scout, being the ugly one! Well, he has a good home, that's what matters. =)

[ndainye]

Yay :)

I'm very happy with the way Alex and Bo turned out, they look great.

Scout is loved and that's the important thing :)
