Fun with Custom Content! Kirivian's Gallery of Custom Sim Makeovers
Hey everyone! Welcome to my attempt to show off some of the amazing collaborations I have had with folk in this community! Some of you may be familiar with my Vampire Thread (if not, please feel free to check it out! <

Essentially, I do CC makeovers of sims. And I had the awesome opportunity to work with sims created by some incredibly talented folk in our community. Some of these folks approached me to do these makeovers and some of them I “raided” (downloaded their sims off the gallery) and asked for permission to do the makeovers of and to post the results. I was thrilled to be so generously entrusted with the creations of these folk and flattered and over the moon that my work received such a positive and warm response. <3

The only problem was, I was working on a thread that was limited to a theme (vampires). Anyone who knows me can tell you I love my vamps, but I really wanted to reach further and so I started this project hoping to do just that - get some folk interested in having their sims get CC makeovers whether their sims are vampires or not.

I am preparing my first few posts on this thread to showcase the work I have done before, but I am hoping that maybe some of you out there will like what I do and want to work with me as well. So please feel free to check out what we have created and let us know what you think. Thanks to all y’all in advance!
This next sim was a vampire who inherited her unique skin color from the alien side of her family. She confounded me for a while, but I had a tremendous amount of help and inspiration from her creator @MaggieMarley. She has since become a member of my Star-Crossed cast along with her consort – my version of Vladislaus Straud (featured in the townie post and Jasmina post earlier in this thread) who she hit it off with almost instantly when I introduced them.
@MaggieMarley I am glad you like Edward, I actually am planning a few more edits with him after taking the prelim shots (no push/pull) just some makeup adjustments I think. I don't like the shine on his face and I think the eyeliner is a bit heavy. So I may make a few adjustments. In the interim he's been kind of busy in the test neighborhood too. He is really growing on me and I may ask your permission to add him to Chatswin, but I totally get it if that's not okay. I will start collating his portfolio now that I got the go ahead :). Thank You.
I totally agree about the blond hair and purple skin for Mathilde. I actually started her shoot in Brindleton where I bought her a little house (freerealestate >:) ), and I put her in the game with the purple skin. So I've been doing static poses with her and a few shots of her playing with the Hecking dog who she greeted while out on the street posing. Apparently, Rosy (the dog) really likes her - go figure. She was petting her and made friends with Brent Hecking too - so good start. :)

About Silas meeting Advik. If Silas got to Advik before Talos turned Advik, he would probably bite first and ask questions later. Silas is both mean and evil. LOL, but very very polite and with the Incredibly Friendly trait and his 10 charisma folk just love him the second they meet him. It's a real PIA 'cause I was trying to get at least one of the deviant aspirations with him (I've never gotten either of those aspirations yet), but sims let him do deplorable things to them and walk away happy to have had the time of day from him. So I can't seem to get anyone to dislike him yet - never mind get him an enemy. It's sad actually. :joy:

@paradiseplanet :joy: That's funny, and I do appreciate the amount of effort it takes, but it makes me sad you're not enjoying the journey. :heartbreak: Slow down if you need to. You can take me to task when I ask too much of you, you know.
For all of y'all, I know I am very greedy and beggy, but remember...this is supposed to be fun. When the muse inspires, submit but don't surrender. When your odyssey becomes a task, step back and let your love for it find you again. If I have pushed you beyond feeling inspiration, and into feeling obligation...that would destroy me. I want this to be a place where we can enjoy and share not only this game and our creations that it draws forth from our imaginations, but also where we can enjoy and share each other through our mutual interest in it. But I do worry that I may be enjoying y'all too much...kinda makes me a vampire, no? >:) Please tell me if this is the case. Not only do I want to know if I am pushing too hard, I even enjoy being put in my place sometimes. ;)
Now Back to Matters at Hand
@MaggieMarley I have been struggling with Mathilde's photoshoot for all this time. She's lovely and I have been taking pictures of her all over Brindleton Bay, Windenburg and San Myshuno, but none of them felt inspired. I have finally come up with a shoot I feel happy to show you, because my <3 was in this one. I am very nervous as always about sharing my vision of this sim with her creator, but here's...The Vampiress Mathilde Vatore by @MaggieMarley:
@kirivian now, for telling me you have trouble with female characters, Mathilde and Squirrel look absolutely stunning! They both have a unique style of dressing, I really like that.

Agreed! I see no problems with @Kirivian's females <3
@candycottonchu @squirrelwithacup Thanks guys! It means a lot that you like what I do with the gals as well as the guys 'cause it's true that I feel more comfortable and it's easier for me to work with guys. When I do work with the ladies, it takes more of my attention and effort because I am not as comfortable doing it. Either way, I love a makeover - so it's really rewarding to hear when someone likes the finished product be it male or female. :) <3
@kirivian then once you're able we should send you more girls to get used to it you're always good with a make over the ladies need that treatment too hehe *waves petition for more girls*.

Hey All! I hear you! :smiley: Ladies Rock!. My current project which is in it's final stages, is another young lady. Been a dream working with her. I <3 <3 <3 her finished CAS and translation and will be doing her shoots as soon as I get approval from her creator on the CAS shots and her consort finalized in CAS and tweaked in translation. So hopefully not too long now.
@RedDestiny92 You have a tendency to throw me pairs and I have to admit I have been re-visiting and getting some ideas together for a certain Sister/Brother pair, but I have a few projects ahead of that one - including another Simlit character I've been promising to one of us for a while now.
@paradiseplanet Actually have one of your guys already ready for the photoshoots for this thread (I'll be asking about particulars for his handling after I finish up with the two projects I'm finalizing this week *hopefully*, pretty sure you can guess who I'm talking about) - He's been living in Star-Crossed for a while now. He's a favorite of mine. :dizzy: Also, I've been playing with a new neighborhood a bit, kind of re-organizing it for my playstyle - thinking I might call it Eden.
@squirrelwithacup I love Amelia and when I have the time I'll try to get to her- sorry I can't be more definitive on a time frame for her. Honestly though there were a couple of your sims I found wandering around my studio who I was a lot more tempted by...interested in making over. :blush:
<3 <3 All Y'all, Thanks for the Feedback and Victims...Subjects? <3 <3

@kirivian I love Amelia too, but of course I'm never telling you that you have to make her over -- if you don't want to it's fine! I think she's beautiful just the way she is <3 But if you want to, I'd love to see your take on her sometime when you get the chance. Ooh... like who? Perhaps you should PM me about those inquiries. I had a few in mind if you ever wanted to do another makeover on one of my bois...
@kirivian yes a victory more ladies, that's cool you take your time really it's supposed to be fun don't want to be tossing them out so quickly it gets overwhelming. Though I am looking forward to the next one.
