She Wants Your Bad Romance

I need to stop with these Gaga analogies. I'm embarressing myself. I decided Caspar needed a mate, cause I just couldn't have that much hottness wandering around town with nothing to compete with. So I made Finn. She's to prevent him from breeding with some townie while I'm not paying attention.
And for the lovers amongst us:There's more here:

Ain't love grand?

Hmmm...it's a good start I guess.

Hey guys, before I get too crazy with the MASSIVE pic spam I'm going to post soon, I thought I would get this out of the way first.

It was pointed out today on MS3B, both impolitely and politely that the nose shape I prefer is causing my sims to look similar. Totally valid, completely true. I do prefer a widened bridge, I like big noses. In regards to my sims starting to look similar, this I hadn't noticed. However, looking at them all now, there are many similarities and I believe Cecesaun1 pointed it out best, it makes you a little sad when that happens.

So, taking into consideration what one lovely Anon suggested, I decided to try something different. I'm a creature of habit and it was sooo hard to break from moving the bridge slider to the right. A little too much. Hence, the nose shape in general with this sim is pretty much what I always use, I just tried to slim the bridge down a bit. It's a start right?
CAS
IN GAME
You will probably find my sims will always have big noses and I guess what I am most apprehensive about is that the sim won't look realistic with a thin bridge. BUT, I found this sim looked completely different once I thinned her nose out. I think I'm excited, so many possibilities!

He Wants To Dance In The Dark

Let me introduce you all to Caspar. This is what happens when I get distracted. I was working on my Eric Draven sim and I got a little experimental and side-tracked and decided to Subaxi-fy him. I'm quite proud of him. I'm also seriously in love and infatuated with this man.
There's more Caspar over here:

Show me more Ooohh La La.

Selene Dragulia (0.0)

Aloha!

I decided it was about time I posted one of those sims I previewed ages ago. So, I chose Selene. She's one of my TS2 to TS3 conversions. By that, I mean I had a simmie called Selene in TS2, so I decided to make a TS3 version of her. You can see her here. Don't ask about the last name, I think I was high on coffee and Pepsi. Oh and her dad's name was Vlad...I just thought Dragulia. Y'know Dracula, original Dracula. I'm hungry.

Mental block = Elphaba Thropp.

WICKED!

Hey guys,

Sorry for my lack of updates, I honestly thought that with a week off I would have time to update this damn blog, but nope. I've pretty much been coming home from Uni and studying and working on my assignment for the past 5 days. I've been getting up at 6am, which is NOT normal for me at all. I work night shifts, and I work 3 days a week, 12 hours a shift. I do not operate at such shocking hours of the day. I'm soooo exhausted.

I managed to do some simming today, but I couldn't make anything remotely interesting at all. Everything was so...boring for me. Plus, I made the dumbass decision to defrag my desktop computer (I use a laptop for The Sims 3 and for most of my numerous activities) and it took so long to get to 3%, I gave up. Gah. Will upload some sims tomorrow, provided I have nothing else to do. Should probably work on my case study though...

Anyway, I did make something kinda interesting today...
Gah, she sucks. She's not green enough. She's a combo of Idina Menzel (Broadway's Elphie), the novel description and the first Witch from The Wizard of Oz, in TECHNICOLOUR. She's for my personal use only, so I guess that kinda doesn't matter much eh?

What do you guys think of the new contacts? Do you think they are more realistic and better than the ones I usually use (the Peggy contacts)?

In remembrance of TS2

HIM666 was my favourite sim creator back when I used to play TS2. This is why:

VILLE VALO (Lead singer of HIM)
ERIC DRAVEN/BRANDON LEE (The Crow)
I was and still am seriously in LURVE with Ville Valo and Brandon Lee, even though the later has passed away. Especially Mr Lee, he is so darn smexy. Hmm perhaps I will try to make an Eric Draven/Brandon Lee sim. Emphasis on try. :D

Dear Alice...

Dear Alice,

If you're looking for your key to Wonderland, it's at my place. I believe the Mad Hatter left it behind.
Sincerely,

Aiko Law

Howdy!

Aside from a new sim today guys, I have some marvelous news. This marvelous news involves no work for a week and just lectures at Uni. Now some might go, "how is that so good?", well my dear reader, it's NO WORK for 7 days!! I've got all this time off and I plan on wasting it and wasting it well! I plan on sharing another little project I have been secretly working away at and upload some of those sims I previewed before. I'm naughty uploading all these ones I never previewed. I might also do some studying but that is at the bottom of my list of priorities.

NOTE: I've now uploaded a version of Aiko completely without CC. She will show up with EA content only. This is for the simmers who have been having game crashes (sorry). I thought it was just the Peggy hairs, but looks like it's possibly something else. This means that you will need to download the CC individually and edit it. The previous version was saved with her CC, so if you have the CC already in game or downloaded it, it will appear automatically on Aiko when you open her in CAS.

July 30th please hurry up!

I can't wait for July 30th! Wanna know why?
Newsea is releasing this hair on TSR that day! Unfortunately for me, I have to wait until the 31st here in Aust. I'm one day ahead of the rest of the world. I seriously hope this pops up on The Exchange. I hate that place, but I will sacrifice that hatred for free hair.I'm also waiting somewhat patiently for this to pop up at The Booty.

I hate being patient. :P

Delene Thomson

Hi!

I managed to get some simming in yesterday, suprisingly. I really hate juggling all these activities in my life, work, study, family, friends, playing sims. Hehe. I've pretty much done, in total, I think 30 mins of study. That's not very promising is it. Woops. I've procrastinated my whole first week away and I don't care. :D

Here is Delene. I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I needed to find a good skintone that didn't lose the shading when the skintone was darkened. This is impossible though. So I settled for LFB, whose skintones are fabulous. Hope you guys like her. :) She has taken the prize as my favourite creation so far, she beats Mina.

WARNING: I've been getting messages and comments letting me know that some simmers are having problems with my sims, mainly they keep crashing their game. :( I've been trying to figure out for zoinks what it could be, with no result until today. ChaoticNeutral over at SimsCave has figured out what it is, Peggy hairs. I save my sims with the content I use, which can and is causing problems which I was not aware of before. If you don't have the Peggy hair I've used, then the sim will likely crash. However, some sims I haven't used Peggy hairs on, are also crashing. I've noticed it's one I may have used the Peggy contacts for. So guys, if this is occuring for you, then see if the sim has any Peggy content and try d/l that and see if it helps. I'm going to now, save my sims without Peggy CC in future, but for the sims I've already made and plan to release, I will put up a warning to let you guys know.

Also, I've changed my layout AGAIN. I did like the last one but it had too much going on and it didn't seem right. I give this one a week or less and I will probably change it again. I'm going to go look for blog templates right now actually.

Take care guys!

When you came in the air went out, and every shadow filled up with doubt.

Hey guys!

Sorry for the delay in uploading these sims, I've been lazy. FYI, I'm heading back to work in a couple of days and I'm beginning my PostGrad course (started today! Shite), so updates might be scarce but hopefully I should be able to post something new at least once a week, please bear with me for the next 12 months. If that's okay. :P Moving on.

Took me 4 hours to find everything and to post them up, but here they are!:

The Ladies of Twinbrook!

Take me home Cowboy?

Upcoming Sims

Want to see whose populating my town?

Most of these sims were made 6 months ago and I've just been retweaking them over and over. The first 4 were made in the last week. I'll get to uploading them in the next few months. I'm glad I decided to stock for the winter (aka recommencement of work and study). I've gone from spending almost all day in CAS making on average 3 sims, to making 1 or 2 a week. Lol. See what happens when your spare time gets robbed from you by the MAN! Or in our case, the LADY, since we have a female PM. :)

PREVIEWGASM!


COMING SOON...

We want the funk, give up the funk!

Hi all! Did you miss me?

I've been in a bit of a funk the past couple of days. All the days have been blurring together, and I haven't been taking anything naughty. I'll get around to uploading The Ladies soon, probably tomorrow night or perhaps the night after that.

To cheer myself up, I've been watching Doctor Who! It reminded me of a little sim-picture-project I worked on for a friend of mine. She's a huge fan of the show, so when Aikea Guinea made those Doctor Who objects, I did this for her:

EXTERMINATE!

RUUUUNNN!
Also, found these random screenies while rummaging through my Flickr account, these are the Sims I made while playing TS2:
The first sim was my favourite and I got her through some smart sim breeding. Actually, they all were through sim breeding, but anyway, her name was Temperley London. I tried to make a Sims 3 version of her, but no success. The dude was her twin bro, Jasper Jackson. 3rd girl is her cousin Renesme (cough), then we have Arja, Selene and finally Valentina. All related. They are related through their Grannies. I had 3 sisters originally, and they had like 2-3 kids each and then they had beautiful grandbabies.

Does anyone remember the little cheat that would get the sim to "tell" you what sexual orientation they were? I loved that cheat, I thought it made the sims more individual I guess. Now in TS3, they automatically have male and female couples, unless you do otherwise. I don't know what made me think of that. Maybe it's because I remember Jasper telling me he preferred males and Selene telling me she preferred females. I was like "AWESOME!!"

I will end this post with a question for people who like to track down stuff, anyone know if that first hair was ever converted for TS3? I have never found it, if it ever was. It was my favourite. So was the headband with the huge ribbon.

Which leads me to this, if there are any CC converters out there, I have a favour to ask of you lovely people, who I loves so much. I and perhaps others, would love these converted for TS3. I have no idea how hard or easy it will be, but if anyone has time, we would appreciate it :D

The Ladies of Twinbrook
