Momoko,etc
POSTED ON
06/27/09
I haven\'t been messing with Sims 3 much lately since I\'m in a beta and have been preoccupied with other things. However, today I was able to play for awhile and I think I finally got all the people I want in my neighborhood in.... for now. :)
While doing that I noticed that the Momoko I posted didn\'t have the weight and muscle bar edited! Sooo I\'ve re-u/l\'d her with a more trim body which is more like what she really is.
I also u/l\'d some male Asians as well, and may be adding some more in the near future if these go over well.

Removing Sayumi for edit
POSTED ON

Sayumi had a total of 1 d/l since I posted her, and I blame the pic of her for one of the reasons. She did look pretty crappy in it. I\'ll see if there\'s anything else I can do to make her more accurate and post her again, but it may be a few days. I\'m currently in a beta test and haven\'t touched Sims 3 in 3-4 days now, but plan on getting back to it soon.
Poor Sayumi

Man, everyone must really hate my Sayumi sim, she\'s only been d/l\'d once with the changes. Hrmmm maybe I need to edit it some more..
U/l'd once again
POSTED ON
06/16/09
Well do to the very small download #\'s for Sayumi once again I\'ve decided to change the hairstyle to a more normal one and u/l it again. It\'s similar to her regular hairstyle but without the bangs. I also u/l\'d Momoko again and replaced the premium hairstyle to make it available to more people.
I actually got in quite a bit of time playing the game last night and put everyone I want in my neighborhood. I noticed that at least one of the families I put in disapeared on me. I guess they can move out on their own. I didn\'t realize one family just moved to another house and re-placed them in the town only to see their dopplegangers running around town. Heh doh!

Airi finished
POSTED ON

Well I finally got around to finishing Airi, and while she didn\'t come out nearly as good as I would\'ve liked I\'m not sure what else I can do. They really need to add some realistic Asian eyes. They never have quite the shape I want.
sheesh

I had to u/l my once again edited Sayumi sim about 10x before I finally got an avatar that didn\'t make her look hideous. I really wish they\'d just use the avatar pic that\'s saved to our pre-made sims area. That way we can just save the sim till we have what we want then u/l. I usually give a deion of each Morning Musume member I u/l in the bio but got really tired having to write it up each time for Sayumi.
So, here\'s what I would\'ve put for her:
Sayumi is best known for her super cutesy \'ichiban kawaii\' persona, but fortunately she\'s started to tone it down some as of late. She\'s also known for her near utter lack of any atheletic ability, and for her self admitted poor singing skills. She seems to be a very kind and caring person, who can also be quite funny.
Also, I finally got around to u/ling Momoko. She\'s far from perfect but I don\'t think she\'s too bad. A hair style more like her own would\'ve helped of course. I\'ll get Airi done in the next day or so. She\'s one of my favorite H!P members so I need to make sure she looks at least fairly decent! :)

Buffy and Angel
POSTED ON
06/12/09
Well after viewing Aelred\'s fine David Boreanaz a desire to make Buffy universe sims sprung to mind, and so this morning I made both Angel and Buffy. I used Aelered\'s sim as a base in hopes to help speed up the process but after the many edits I ended up doing, I don\'t think it went any faster. The end result is differen\'t enough imho that I feel I can safely call the Angel sim my own.
I don\'t think I\'m going to do all the main characters in Buffy, just probably Spike and that\'ll be it.

Dr. Gregory House
POSTED ON
06/11/09
Well I had planned on making Momoko today but saw all the Dr. House\'s on The Exchange, and how many d/l\'s and recommendations they were getting, and I felt I could do better than what I had seen so far, so I thought I\'d throw my hat in the ring. It\'s basically a heavily re-tweaked version of DekDes\'s fine version of House( http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=97051 ). While his looks pretty decent from the front, the side view makes House look almost alien imho, so I felt it needed a lot of tweaks and by the time I was done, mine looked quite a bit differen\'t, enough to call it my own.
Clothing wise it may not be accurate, but I didn\'t want to pick a suit and tie, as House seems to be adverse to ties, so I went with the closest thing I could find. I
All in all I think it came out fairly well. I hope you like it! :)

Man, I posted an edited version of my self-sim but apparently all my clothes edits but the everyday one was lost... I musta loaded up an older version of my sim to edit.. I didn\'t even bother to check the other clothes.. ah well, it actually had a decent pic for my avatar so I\'m leaving it as is.
I wish...

I wish we could pre-select what pose our sim would have when we post them. I keep getting crappy ones which irritate the hell out of me. Ah well...
I also couldn\'t stay away from editing or making new sims.. I u/l\'d Miyabi from Buono! today. Granted it isn\'t the best likeness of her, but it\'s about as good as I could get it. :/ I\'ll be adding Momoko and Airi in the near future.
I\'m finding it very difficult to get people to my page or to recommend my stuff despite posting all over. I had a much easier time with Sims 2 for some reason. All but 1 of my sims has barely been d/l\'d, which sucks.

Sayumi traits edited
POSTED ON
06/09/09
I\'ve been getting some suggestions from Morning Musume fans on the traits some of my sims have, and so I decided to change Sayumi\'s traits to more like her super cutesy persona. It should make a much more interesting Sim. I also edited Reina and Koharu.
If you d/l them feel free to change them to whatever you want. These are just my opinions, and it\'s hardly set in stone.

Once again I overlooked something big before posting a sim. My Miki had already got 2 recommendations but I had the lips all wrong, something I had meant to work on more before posting. Ah well... I re-posted her today.
Bummer

Well I was hoping to have more of sims d/l\'d and recommended by now, especially since I\'ve posted about them on Morning Musume fan sites, but I\'m guessing not many of them have the game. Ah well.. it\'s looking like my goal to goto #1 isn\'t going to happen this time around.
I think I\'ll be taking a break from sim making and actually play the game.

I know some of you may be getting annoyed with my many edits of sims I\'ve posted, but I feel the need to do it again. I\'ll probably be doing some tweaks to some of my stuff like Risa for sure, and possibly Sayumi, and maybe some others. I also plan on posting Miki Fujimoto later on tonight.
\r\n\r\n
Thank you to all of those that have taken the time to recommend my sims, it is very much appreciated!!

I decided I\'d go ahead and make the main characters from Knights of the Dinner Table. It\'s been my favorite comic for some time, so why not put them in the Sims universe?!
I hope the KoDT fans like what I\'ve done. :)

As always I\'m never truely satisfied with the sims I make and always see stuff I should change or that I forgot to edit after I post them. Koharu for example is too dark skinned.. I think I forgot to edit that part before I posted... Even tho she has 2 recommendations I may still remove her and re-post as it\'s really bugging me. She\'s pretty light skinned.
Sheesh

The censoring on this site is pretty nutty... I can\'t even use Risa\'s last name without getting bunch *****\'s. They need to let up on the parameters a friggin tad.
Oops

I noticed I\'ve put the wrong hair style or didn\'t do the clothing changes I meant to do on a couple of my sims(Ai and Risa) so I\'ll be taking them off and re-posting them.
Crud, I also noticed I forgot to do the eye color work on most of them...grrrr.

Well 8 Morning Musume members down and only 1 to go, and that being Jun Jun. I\'ve already got a rough version and may possibly have her finished today.
Some comments on the builder and wants(long):
While I do like some aspects of the new sim builder(eyes,lips, and nose mainly), I don\'t like the fact that the chin is hard to shape and there\'s no way to adjust the forehead or under the chin. Also eyebrow choices are pretty poor and not very adjustable compared to S2. The sims from a distance all seem to be kind of chunky in the builder. It\'s only once you\'ve zoomed in close that they start to look pretty decent.
It\'s also be nice if ther were more stages between skinny and fat. There\'s not much of a middle area for women sims. I don\'t need big breasts but something along the C cup line while still being thin would be a nice addition. Not all skinny people are nearly flat chested.
It\'d also be great if there was a height adjuster... it\'s great we have a variety in weights now, but it\'d be even better if not everyone was the same height. I\'m making some sims based off real life people who are very short, so it kind of throws it off when they\'re as tall as the people who are supposed to be tall.
I like the ability to create many differn\'t looks to each clothing type provided, but they are pretty limited right now which makes it difficult for us who are trying to recreate real peoples clothing. I\'d like to see more short sleave types, and more skirt and dress types. Also it\'d be nice if we were given the option to write stuff on our shirts, like #\'s or something for sports type clothing, but I do understand some idiots out there would abuse that ability and write all sorts of foul things.
I also am not happy with the hairstyles for the most part. Why is it there are rarely ever any bang styles ever released? Most asians seem to have bangs of some type, and the only bang style that\'s provided isn\'t very good in my opinion. I guess I\'ll have to wait for user made content or for Maxis to eventually release some to buy.
Just my 2cents... over all I do think the pros outweight the negatives in the new builder.

Well I was 1 gig away from finishing my d/l from the Direct2Drive store and the power goes out. I think np it\'ll just resume where it left off, but noooooo. It starts all over from the bloody beginning! You\'d think in this day and age a d/l manager program would have a resume feature on it... ah well. Now I just have to wait till I get off of work tonight to install the game... major annoyance tho. >:(
It begins...

Sims 3 has come! Well... here shortly at least, and I\'m all set to make a whole slew of J-pop related sims for my neighborhood and for yours if you so desire. :)
My favorite groups are in the Hello! Project, which are Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, and Buono, among others. I\'ll be making Morning Musume and the Buono! members first, as they\'re my favorite, then gradually doing the others. I also may make people like Ayumi Hamasaki, Mika Nakashima, and various others over time. Of course having the proper hairstyles and such really help make the sim look right, and unfortunately the game won\'t have many of them until some one makes them or they put them up on the store, so I\'ll have to work with what I have and hope for the best.
I\'ll also be making some of the characters from Knights of the Dinner Table which is my favorite comic, and probably various others sims from differen\'t origins.
Can\'t wait till tomorrow! :)
