Updates Wednesdays Evelyn "Evie" Kilbride has always been the quiet friend, a shy girl who never had much to say, happy to wait in the wings as her best friend Kelly, the loud, confident ...
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg I'm cackling at your commentary of our cafeteria friend! Who knows who he is, what his story is - he's a man of mystery, but you will definitely see him again because he's a random deco sim i got ages ago - I throw him in the background constantly. I bet if you go back through old chapters you'll see him there too - he's a fixture of this series :smiley:
I'm so glad you noticed the clothes!! I've been having fun doing a lot with all of their clothing and hair choices, asking myself what they'd actually choose for themselves and what it says about their personalities - and with that, how it can illustrate change too.
Kelly always chose clothes that didn't really suit her, were too old for her or just plain awkward looking - and she doesn't know how to do her hair and makeup right either, she always looks a bit off because she's more fixated on how she wants to come across and who she wants to be rather than who she is - she's obsessed with being older and mature and thinks she needs to look a certain way to portray that.
Shane is just tracksuits and gym clothes all the time, ready for football practice, a practical haircut, but also a style that's the same as every other young man his age because he's not interested in style.
Claire, pastels, usually blue, can have feminine details like lace, florals and ruffles and usually something intricate with her hair. She's supposed to have a real soft, femininity about her but also naivety
Evie, of course, in part 1 was all plain shorts, plain t shirts and the same shoes every time. She didn't know who she was, and didn't want to wear anything that'd make her stand out. Maybe a slightly athletic look, because she likes to swim and jog, but very much a non-style. The same with minimal makeup and hair. - in part 2 she's getting there more. She's slotting in with the style of the time, which was, if i can recall correctly, really influenced by Tumblr, and that twee, Zooey Deschanel thing with lace up boots and skater skirts. She's trying.
Dean & Marnie are out there, charity shop frequenters, wild cards who are stylish without trying, in her case, and cool without wanting to be, in his.
Jen, a more emo/gothic influence. More piercings, heavy boots, black, she's supposed to look like she kind of is into the metal scene - but not all the way. She's an outsider, everyone friend, or maybe nobody's.
and Jude, of course, as we last saw him anyway: I wanted him to have this real uber-casual, comfortable look. Shorts that double up as swim trunks, a dozen versions of the same worn out T-shirt, wavy hair like he's just been swimming, everything about his style was meant to look like he's just thrown it on, and will throw it off again just as easily. So comfortable with himself and his body that he never tries to hide anything - but he does care a bit about style, because he got his ears pierced. Also I guess, to show that he's not obsessed with being hyper-masculine.
Anyway, that was long winded but I was excited to put that out there. As for Claire's eyes, no! I don't think they're custom, I just played around with them so much that i got that effect. She was one of the first sims I ever made in the game, actually, and I agree, she's beautiful!
