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!
The remainder of my intro posts feature characters created by my friends over on my vampire thread and therefore the majority of them are vampires. I had so much fun reading all about these characters and being introduced to them via pictures, backstories and even genealogies. Thanks to everyone who let me play with them and their sims! :wink: I will be posting the rest of the collections a couple at a time over the next week or two as I compile them, research them and organize the reposts. I just realized the thread was getting too long before I even published it, and it was taking me too long to get it up and running. Most of these posts contain at least some new material as well as the reposts of the original material. For those not used to the way I work, I tend to put a lot of images under spoilers because these posts can be very image intensive – so you may even find spoilers nested in spoilers – sorry about that in advance. Thanks Everyone for visiting – hope you enjoy them as much a I enjoy making them.
@shinzen Going to post these here. Basically two different looks for each of them.
As per my general rule, I did not change any features on either of them, I did tweak a few things here and there (to do the earring on Dakota, I needed to turn his ear a bit, and for both of them I did some adjusting of the nose - I end up needing to do this sometimes because of the nosemask cc I favor), but basically they aren't changed up that much, just a lot of cc and a little push and pull.
I originally was playing with long hair for Ezra and it gave him a really different look than I thought it would - so I'm posting those along with the edgier shots.
With Dakota, I wanted to go modern, but my instinct was to check him out a little more old fashioned first. So two takes on Dakota as well. Every hair I tried on this guy looked fabulous so I have a couple of CAS shots with just some of the hairstyles I ended up not using in favor of the ones I chose.
Finally, I threw in a handful of screenshots from in game, but I still haven't actually done a proper photoshoot, I just needed to see what everything would look like in game ('cause CAS doesn't always translate perfectly).
More old-fashioned look here: https://i.imgur.com/6LW6rYc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OxdVOhI.jpg More modern take: https://i.imgur.com/OWkI7Cb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/amAfzki.jpg These hairstyles didn't make the cut, but the decision was tough so if you'd rather a different haircut for the photoshoot let me know https://i.imgur.com/s4otBGb.jpg
I get really nervous when I play with other peoples stuff, so let me know if there's anything you want me to change or if you don't like them. Otherwise I'll try to do a little shoot with them in the next day or two and post a few more shots.
The Sparring Sequences
Oh My Gosh! I’ve missed so much. It will take me a bit to catch up here guys, sorry. :/ Anyhows, I have been busy with the Dakota/Ezra (thanks 1 billion times to @Shinzen, their creator ) photoshoot and After about 500 shots and hours of sorting and converting for upload, I actually have some pics I'm happy with. I hope you like them.
I thought I’d begin with a few sparring matches – this is image intensive so, sorry in advance. I decided to get the action in a selection of combined photos and then I’ll include spoilers with more detailed shots under the combo shots for anyone interested in them. Also I am still uploading and preparing the individual and couple shoots so this will be over a number of posts. Hope y’all like them.
Ezra Battles Holland in The Apartment in San Myshuno https://i.imgur.com/UDkT805.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Baj3mRG.jpg As you can see the rest of the gang (except Dakota and Hideaki) came running in to watch the action towards the end.

Round Two Took Place Outside the Apartment Ezra started strong https://i.imgur.com/6pk88eV.jpg But finished about the same as the first time https://i.imgur.com/1HOCkfJ.jpg It’s rare to catch Holland in a friendly mood, but he apparently likes Ezra – go figure. So, he agreed to a rematch.

His name is Onyx and his creator @squirrelwithacup has quite the flair for romance (and all who know me know that I am a hopeless romantic and plum-eyed optimist). When I first started working with Onyx it was in private as the author had not yet aged this character to adulthood in the story or uploaded him to the gallery yet and it was quite a leap of trust on their part to let me play with him. Thanks for your faith in me Squirrel.

@kirivian Oh no, feel free to! I'm sure everyone would love to see what you've done with him! I don't mind. Gives me an excuse to look at him again. ;)
@squirrelwithacup Sorry had to go AFK for a bit. I want to prepare him properly so I need a little time, but here are a few images of him that I already had loaded up on imgur - that I didn't take down yet. *Most of these include original material I have since edited to the creator's taste*. So for those interested:

Sorry I've been so absent guys! RL was interfering with my gaming again! :s I have been keeping up with the reading though. :)
@squirrelwithacup Thanks for letting me play with Onyx. I actually wasn't as happy as I could have been with the translation shots I posted earlier so I did a little tweaking. I hope you like the final cuts. :)
