@GiardiniDiMarzo interesting! Yep! Those do sound like 2 very different web comics! 😄
I first knew of Kappas in Japanese mythology through the Animal Crossing series. There is a character that looks like a turtle to westerners, but the clue to his identity is his name, which is Kapp'n. I later saw a video on the history of these mythological creatures, and while in some older stories it seemed that Kappas were more of a foe, it seems that in some more recent stories they were more benevolent, at least according to the video I saw. Other sites only mention their pranks and bad behavior. But in Animal Crossing Kapp'n is a friend!
And while my Greek mythology is rusty, I do remember reading about them in the Odyssey! They are bird-like creatures that sound like women singing and lure sailors with their voices, usually to their doom! Odysseus was able to avoid going to their island because he was warned about them, and took some precautions!
Thank you! 🥰 Yes, Kailee was so beautiful that I had to give her one of my favorite hairstyles! She even made a cute PlantSim, but not half as pretty as a human! 😅 Now that I have finished the PlantSim challenge, I want her to start a family while painting for a career. I had her garden and paint outside a lot to get sunshine, and when she wasn't doing that she was swimming so she wouldn't wilt! 😅
@JonaO703 I love how the mom and daughter have names that sound similar without starting with the same letter! 🥰 I love both shirts that father and son are wearing, along with mom's hairstyle. I think that one came in a free update some years ago , and I always thought it was a really cute hairstyle (But then again I love curly hair!).
Nice home too! 😍
Wow, look at all these beautiful Sims! I'm way too impatient for CAS, but you all have done such a wonderful job ❤️
@GiardiniDiMarzo Your mermen are fantastic, I love the amount of detail you've gone into on both of them! Sulvain and Raziol look like a super fun pair- but I'm a sucker for anyone in a floral print shirt 😉
@PugLove888 The color coordination you've done with your Sims is just amazing- and Kailee's formal outfit is gorgeous, well done!
@JonaO703 I'm obsessed with that turquoise hair, it's definitely making me want to run out and buy some hair dye for myself. That traditional style home you've built for them as well is perfect, great job!

Lol same here. Whenever I create sims I typically just go crazy on the randomize button until I find something that I like. I do love browsing topics like this though because sometimes it can spark some inspiration.
Heck even the family in the save I'm working on now started with a sim from an older save. I didn't really want to keep working on the older save, but I really liked the way one of the 3rd generation sims looked so I saved them to my Gallery specifically to use in a new save.

@EA_Solaire , thank you! I love color and have always loved mixing and matching them! I usually would have put makeup on all of these Sims, but I only put it on Kailee! 😅 But yes, a just love her formal outfit! That dress looks amazing in every colorway! 😍 And I kept it simple here by only showing one or 2 outfits for each Sim -- like i said before, I usually have multiple Everyday, Sleep, Hot, and Cold outfits! I can get very detailed with my Sims! 🤓
@JonaO703 , I have to agree with @EA_Solaire on the turquoise hair! I love it (but turquoise is one of my all-time favorite colors, so I'm biased! 😄 Especially with that purple shirt the dad is wearing ... but purple is my #1 favorite color!) 😍
@valohim666 I often start out randomizing a Sim, until something about them sparks an interest... usually I will change their outfit , but sometimes I keep most of it, only tweaking it. However, I usually start their outfits from scratch.- 4 years ago
@PugLove888 The outfits are definitely one thing I typically change too, or other more simple things like the hair or makeup or things like that. Messing with something like their facial structure or facial features though, yeah that I won't mess with since with the way the system is in Sims 4 I typically mess things up lol.
- PugLove8884 years agoHero (Retired)
@valohim666 , unless I am trying for a specific look for a character in my mind, or unless I'm trying to make a Sim of someone in real life, I often go with that the face shape or body shape that it gives me, making minor tweaks.... like changing the nose or eyes, etc. But I am not that good at making real life people into Sims... unless they have a beard because a beard will hide a lot of facial features! 😅
Sometimes I do a lot more sculpting, but not when investigating new outfits in a pack. Then I prefer to spend the time on the clothing and hair! 🥳

So, I'm doing a huge sprawling rotational save right now that I call ROTATION OF INSANITY 😉 (because I have too many families, really, too many... I'm playing the EA townies whose lore I tweaked, and some of my custom townies as well) so I'm mainly doing age-ups. BUT!
This handsome young man looked terrifyingly bad on age up, believe it or not. (He's an alien, but he always wears a disguise to look like his dad...)
Here he is as a child, with a whim to be friendly with his Dad...
This is the actual genetic child of Eric Lewis and Alice Spencer-Kim. I named her Vivian Kim-Lewis:
And this is what I did with Olivia Kim-Lewis when she aged up to teen
She's now in the Britechester Students household. They're not in Uni yet, but during the rotation, if someone reaches Uni age, they move out into the uni students household and I'm going to have them live on campus together. I recently did this with the most unlikely roomies/friends ever, Malcolm Landgraab and my Sim Jennie, who studied Culinary Arts and has the good and cheerful traits. LOL. Despite their traits being a trainwreck (Malcolm is evil and a snob) it worked well! so here's the current Britechester Students household (that's a different young man than above, this one is a vampire and dating Cassandra, lol).
I also uploaded some "tweaks" to the gallery. They're nothing too exciting, just Sims that come with the game with their kids edited so they look "normal" on age up.
Delgato, all I did was tweak Evie: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/5C548047DFA211EC82ADBE628091EA4B?category=all&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=downloads&time=all&searchquery=xochiquetzl_xkvn&max=50&maxis=false

Wow your Olivia Kim is awesome as teen! Mine is normally for ever a child if I don’t delete her family, so I never know she could look so good.
This is my gay farm couple. They adopted Milo and Rika as toddler.
This are the Wans, my inspiration was Swain and Van Gould Household from Sims 3 (i learned after that this two was a inside joke for Twilight). Jacob maybe becomes human if we get werewolves.

This was my tribute to Valentine's Day. A hear shaped wedding venue is and restaurant. Serval cameras on are set up throughout to capture those special moments. There's also a honeymoon suite.
I called it, Casbah of Love.
- simsplayer8184 years agoHero@Busmover50 Wow, that's incredible! I thought I'd done well just by adding a heart shaped pool to my Casita but this must have taken some effort and patience too, it's awesome!
@PugLove888 thanks, I really struggled with the alligator house because of bugs. Adding the curved wooden bridge at the back to join the rear decks together caused a massive blue shiny void to appear under the house (you have to add fences using Replace to defeat the nasty void as I found out), plus it's windows and doors keep vanishing. So there were a few angry bug reports after that one. I also had argumentative roof trims, where they kept gapping for some reason and outdoor eaves lights were too uneven so I was glad to finish it!- PugLove8884 years agoHero (Retired)
@simsplayer818 , this is why I'm more of a Sim creator, and not a builder! 😅
I think it was worth all your hard work! 🙌
"Argumentative roof trims"!!! 🤣 I love how you describe it!
