Lana: i do think the absent minded thing might not be the best for him since i'm very absent minded and i know i would lose focus if i try to kill someone lol. I was actually going to post about Raul's family...My game shut off last night and i don't think they were saved so most likely i will have to do them over... But i checked out their genetics while i was ingame last night and all seemed right boys looked like Raul and the girls favored their moms look Hence the wide cheeks at teen age but when and YA and Adult stage they do get better i will post more pics on the new one if the old ones are gone but i still have their daughter Leona so i can post pics of her life stages for you to see

Oh! I'm sorry about that! I hate when it happens to me too, so I'm saving all the time.

I know the game usually make the boys look like their father and the girls like their mother. Could you maybe do the opposite? When you'll be able the traits would be nice to have. I always compare the sim to his traits to see if it fits.

Edit: edited already two times, I'm making so much mistakes when I write in english, it hurts my eyes so I can't imagine yours

Yea most likely it will be later on today after i do my running around i will get them all done up again and maybe make them look a little different this time... Also i noticed that when i make kids for Raul that his children have a sack of skin under their lip until they are teens... i thought it was b/c of their father being on the heavy side but i have no idea have to figure that out... and i can imagine how writing in a different language is i can't even write proper English most of the time

Sorry for the late post. I was out all day and hadn't been feeling too well but I'm good now. Thanks for the feedback on the character bios.

Lana - I'll work on the rest of Talula's story soon. I was thinking of leaving bits of info in her bio as well as in descriptions of certain locations such as the beach and maybe the museum so players can sort of put the pieces together and assume what had happened. I agree that Raul should be in the Culinary Career. I'm not familiar with the job titles but Level 8-9 would probably be good so he can be Talula's boss.

Having Cecilia cheat with Herberto would be interesting too. The reason I mentioned Carlos, though, is so we could give a hint that perhaps the reason he killed someone is because that person had caught him with Cecilia. And to protect their dirty little secret...he decided to put the witness to rest. I know, he's creepy..lol

SimGirlTasia - Cecilia should definitely think before she acts, considering how small the town is and how fast word gets around. I wasn't sure whether to name Raul's family members but I'm glad you like them. I like the fact that you made Leona look like her mom since they are alike in more ways than one and Julian is really cute. And yes, Herberto does look like Don Lothario...lol

Lia - You did a great job on the De Luca family. I'm looking forward to reading their stories and James's wife sounds like she'd be the type to hang out with Nadia and Cecilia. Perhaps they could all be members of the Charitable Housewives Society?

I would prefer the mum to still be a young adult, because I sort of have a story that she had a child while she was very young. So could Camilla be a YA and Leo be an Adult? And I will make Santino a child (= Fix Lillith's LTW as well.

I think James will be have brown hair, the wife to have VERY blonde hair. James II wife will have blonde hair as well.

And Charming, that would be cool..but the only thing, the Campbell housewives are very shallow. But I'm sure James II wife would be part only for the social status. James III will be single (=

Oh, trust me, a lot of them will be in it only for appearance's sake. I mean, you read about Cecilia getting naughty with the neighbor, right? And Nadia's a snob too so I can imagine her getting along with James II's wife. Or maybe they'd get into a catfight...lol

Lia, don't hate me but... all the Campbell family are definitely not townies. They are still living in the country where lilith was engaged with james, the one she flew away from. So it's only James III that arrived in our town to find out about his grandfather's story. All this time I thought you talked about James III and his wife and kids.

And for the Charitable Housewives Society, well, I agree with charming. It's usually just a facade to allow rich people to meet with each other without being bothered by poor people (hence the high fees). We will probably have to build it. Do they have these kind of society in Spain? Sounds really English but why not.

Edit:A little bit more explanation. It's not that I don't want them to be on the town, it's just really not realistic at all. We agreed that Lilith flew without saying where. Imagine how hard it is to be find someone that could be anywhere in the world. There was a very small chance that someone one day succeed but we explained it by saying that james III was a traveler who was obsessed with his grand father story. So he may have brought his very close family with him but I don't see the whole family moving just because he found a trail.

Oh yeah I know. No problem. I don't really mind.
I'm going to be gone for the weekend, so this will be my last post for a while. Peace (=

The Charitable Housewives Society sounds like a perfect idea well with all the snobs in town who would want to be bothered by poor people when we can poke them with our gold plated Sticks But i'm going to rework the Costa family because i did lose his wife but i still have their daughter so i may do something with her in the future who knows but i wanted to show you how her face changes during her life cycles


I tried to remake her but i made some changes to her as well so here is the Possible new wife for Raul

ok this morning i have gotten Cecilia And Leona done just have to do their outfits and i have to get Julien done also. and i have to do their traits and everything i am going to judge their traits from their story... Cecilia is defiantly going to be a Snob and maybe Leona she does want to be like her mom and she sure does that perfectly lol.

Cecilia Costa

Hey guys! A bit late to the party but here all the same.

I'll use this post to organize my sims as I go through and save them. I'll upload pics and edit the post as I work on them today, so please don't get confused over missing pics/etc.

I use Awesomemod so all of these are neutral pics - I'll get in-game ones after I get the thumbs-up on these. Anything here is changeable and I totally won't be offended if someone thinks they need changing for general improvement or to fit with the 'hood theme better.

I use:

Tasia, have you succeeded in getting rid of the chin bug? It's such a weird thing. I've neither seen anything like that. Good job on Leona and Cecilia . Could you just make them look a little bit different? They almost look like tweens. Maybe she could inherit some of her father's structure.

HP, your sims are wonderful, really unique features! :lovestruc They'll fit very nicely with our town. I can't wait to see the other sims you're going to come up with.

HP: your sims are great i love them so unique... also I love Anatomically Correct skin tones so i'm going to give those a try.

Lana: I have narrowed the chin thing down but can't get rid of it. its from Raul being a big guy even though Cecilia is kind of big she isn't as big as him and when they mate if the kids are not going to be heavy they get that chin bulge until they are teens. i may slim him down a bit to see if that helps. I also tried to make their daughter inherit some of her dads genes but all she gets is the nose or the lips her face structure is the same as her moms i have made at least 6 or 7 girls from them who all turn out to look the same but with different features like eyes nose and mouth. But their sons always come out looking like their daddy no matter how much changing i do to them. its like all the game does is clone the 2 sims and just throw different genetics in to make them appear different

Edit: also Lana i think we will have to use the super computer to change Talula's lifetime wish to whatever we want it to be because with her traits she doesn't get the LTW of being a chef unless u want me to change them

I second Lana's comment, HP. They look very unique and I love the background stories you came up with to match their traits. Horatio reminds me of Sylvester Stallone, only hotter.

Tasia, you're right the game always give mommy's features to girls and daddy's features to boys. It's very annoying and pretty random sometimes, so what you could do instead of doing them with the game geneticizer (or whatever it's called sorry I don't remember) is doing it yourself. Take a child/teenager and look at the father and mother and modify you child features to give him a resemblance with both their parents while being unique.

Good idea for the supercomputer. You'll be able to add their bios too (the one that are finished), the skills they should have, their actual job etc.

Ok Lana i made Leona over and I think i did a pretty good job trying to make her look like her dad. What do you think?

She's really looking more like him now, nicely done I was watching a picture of her dad and I think she could even have her father mouth and nose and looks good and still be like her mother thanks to her eyes. What do you think?

her eyes and her lips are his but i made her nose to be like her moms and her jawline is like her moms also so she has her dads eyes, mouth, and cheeks.... her lips won't show like his unless i make them really thin they they look wonky when she ages up so i kept them kind of thick but they are his lol

She looks gorgeous, better than both of her parents. Cecilia probably goes "Mirror, mirror on the wall..." every night and when it reveals Leona's face, she throws a hissy fit.

Alright I have a hard time comparing with pictures scattered. Could you just make a comparison pic with the four of them, so that i can compare more easily, if you don't mind? That would help me for the feedback.

Charming, I can picture that pretty easily lol

Thanks charming she is that special kind of beauty i love her and she only has been in CAS when she doesn't like something she makes the cutest faces lol...

She is gorgeous, that's for sure What you'll really need of course is in-game pics because that changes a lot sims sometimes.

ok here are all four of them for you to compare to... also i'm defiantly going to get in game shot of everyone i just was doing my pairs and things like that to get them started with the picture taking lol

I don't know what the others think but she does have almost her mother eyes and I still think that she's looking a little bit more like her mum, in both (mouth, face, nose). Though it's not an issue, I like her like that too.

Yeah, she does look more like Cecilia. She's got Raul's eye color and skintone, though. Her lips look like a cross between parents' lips.
