Picked Upload!
This is a picked upload! It showcases some of the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.
The events that got Harvey discharged from the force and into the tough alleys of freelance sleuthing, just a few years ago, are a subject he'd rather not talk about (though, if someone was to talk about it, the phrase "loose cannon" would be brought a lot). Then again, most things are subjects he'd rather not talk about. In his line of work, being tight-lipped is considered an asset. Whatever the case may be, he's ready to move to a new town to start on a clean slate. In the past, his career didn't leave much space for any kind of social life, as he always considered himself to be married to the job. But, who knows, maybe things will be different this time around...
I made Harvey for a sim creation challenge over at GoS. I also wanted a Sim to try out the Investigator profession with. I'm pretty satisfied with how he turned out!
His beard and his Everyday top are from Late Night, and his Formal hat and outfit (plus his Perceptive trait and his Pervasive Private Eye lifetime wish) are from Ambitions. Needless to say, if you don't have those EPs these items won't show up. Other than that, though, he should be basegame compatible.
CC LIST:
Skin: Ephemera's NV1 Non-Default Skin (Pale)
Eyes: lazywnch's Milky Way Replacement Eyes (Note: they're default!)
Eyebrows: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think it's one of Arisuka's Male Facial Hair First Aid pack, either "Subtle" or "Coverguy".
Eyebags: Robokitty's Eye Baggage
Tattoo: analect's Sailor Jerry tattoos (Number 08, "death before dishonor")
Body Hair: TummyZa's Custom Body Hair
Cigarette: Cigarette Accessory by Uirty
Also, his tank top uses one of these great patterns by AroundTheSims, but I'm not entirely sure about which one.

As a general rule with most Sim uploads, missing any or all of these items shouldn't affect the Sim in any other way, so they're optional. I'd say only the skin, eyebags and maybe the cigarette are essential to the "look", if you don't want to download too much custom content.
SLIDERS:
Head Shape and Shoulder Width by jonha
Pupil Dilate, Jawline Soften, Nostril Rotate and Outer Curve by aWT
Eye Stretch, Jawline Width, Chin Width, Brow Thickness and Lower Jaw Height by Ahmad
Chin Cleft by TumTum
Overlip Curve by whiterider
_____
The list may seem eerily long, but do keep in mind that most of these sliders make a very minor difference in Harvey's looks. You could go without downloading most of these and he'd still look more or less the same. If you only want to go with the essentials, I'd suggest having Lower Jaw Height (in case you plan to use the cigarette accessory), Shoulder Width, Head Shape and Brow Thickness.
No slider range hack is needed.
As with other sims uploaded on MTS, Harvey is packaged with basegame skin. To make him look like in the pics, you'll have to download his skin (link provided in the CC list) separately, and apply it manually in the CAS screen. It should be easy to identify from the drop-down menu since, when selected, "ESKIN NV1" can be read in the skintone slider - which should be moved to the "N" in "NV1" to give him the same tone he has in the pictures.
This is my first upload, so feedback, criticism, bug reports, corrections and whatnot are more than welcome!

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the sim to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sim file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game, enter Create-a-Sim, and save a sim to the sim bin to create this folder, rather than doing so manually. After that you can close the game and put the .sim file in SavedSims
4. Once the .sim file is in SavedSims, you can load the game, and look for your sim in the premade sims bin in Create-a-Sim.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
