@cwaddell that is the cc skin, since I did not use any lipstick on him at all. I think I used one of my Brntwaffles non-default skins on him but I'll have to check next time I'm in-game to be sure.

OK. Thanks but don't make it a priority. I'm too lazy to use non-default skins but might have download a lipstick. I know, doesn't make sense. :)

I understand. I've been through phases where I put several ND skins (as well as other CC) in my game, then never used them, so took them out again! Since I am rotating households around my Riverview saved game and doing makeovers for several of the sims, I have put them back in again. :)

The thing that amazes me the most is the nose. I didn't touch the nose, that is all due to the skin. Obviously the pic I found on the internet to show Hal's 'before' is not the best in terms of graphics quality, but it was the only vanilla CAS shot I could find. The skin I used on Hal is Brntwaffles Wild Blue (comes in both default or non-default): http://brntwaffles.tumblr.com/post/73853368031/this-is-an-edit-of-ephemeras-beautiful-fresh

@HappySimmer3 Wow! You achieved your objective of keeping Hal looking like himself only better. He looks AMAZING. It never ceases to amaze me what the right CC skin can do. I too absolutely love his lips.

Thank you! I tweaked his eyes a little after giving him CC contacts, making them a little smaller, and I gave him a CC brow that was similar in shape but doesn't slope down quite so much. Oh, and I gave him really short eyelashes where before he had none! Besides the skin and additional facial hair, that's really all I did. I love the way he looks now. <3

It's a good thing, too, or I might just leave him to his own devices. I've never played a sim with the Heartbreaker wish before. I started playing him in this saved game because Story Progression gave him one of the elderly Spenster sisters as a girlfriend. I was like; :o So I thought maybe he could use my help. :D

I sent him to Uni to find and break up with more girlfriends, and when he returned from the first term I used a sim from Aurora Skies as a base to create his perfect match and sent them both to Uni together for another term. Only Hal didn't have enough ex-GF's yet so I had him get and break up with a couple more his second term. That last one cracked me up - he went over to her house, woohoo'd with her, then told her he cheated on her with a roommate which of course made her mad. So then I had him argue with her and break up, and the notice I got in the upper right hand corner was that 'Hal has the reputation of a dirtbag'. I still laugh over that every time I picture it. XD

But then his ex-GF slapped him out on her front porch as he was leaving, which also made me laugh. I don't know if I'll ever want to play another Heartbreaker sim again but I have to say that this has been rather fun. In the end his perfect match is going to win and he's going to settle down and make babies.

I love this game. :smiley:
