Chip The Dancer

Not much to say. Party Animal, Flirty, Mooch, Athletic, Great Kisser. Such is Chip the Dancer.


Chip doesn't require much.

The Normal version of This Stripper Outfit, only the top part.

Chip is an Homage to the dancer of the same name from The Sims House Party. :D This is why his hair is dark at the roots and eyebrows and appears frosted.

Shuji Ikutsuki

Shuji Ikutsuki is a character from Persona 3. He's a very odd man who makes a lot (and I mean a LOT) of horrible puns. He thinks he's a funny guy, but he's so nice that nobody really calls him on how bad his jokes are (And he probably doesn't care anyway.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIrfG711qo#t=0m26s

Shuji's job is to be the Chief Director for the Dorm. This Dorm is special- it is made up of a group of people who have The Potential, something that allows them to experience an extra hour of the day hidden between one day and the next, during which everyone else is completely in stasis and unaware of the changes in the world around them. They fight Shadows, stopping them from harming humans and the human world, working to find a way to understand and stop them.

Anime characters are extremely hard to translate to 3D, since they have simple and often totally un-readable features (like nose shape or mouth shape), but I think I did a fine enough job with what I had to work with. In particular his eyes were difficult, but I think I got them nicely.

His suit doesn't have the stripes in the uploaded file. That was an oversight I didn't notice until after taking pictures. I changed it. :p


Shuji is Absent Minded, Good, has a Good Sense of Humor, is Eccentric, and Friendly.


Shuji is a young adult. Apologies for any personality inaccuracies, I have not beaten the game and for all I know he's the ultimate bad guy. ;p Though he does have the Eccentric trait, he should not *require* ambitions.
 
Shuji requires:

The Yellow Skintone from this set
Converted Jeanette Hair Mesh
Shady's Sparkling Contacts
Facial Sliders by Ahmad
These Body Sliders
This Chin Slider
Esmerelda's Frameless Glasses
My Custom Beard

And he was made with Awesomemod and the Sliders multiplied by 4.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Struggle Trophy (Sims 2 Conversion)

This is a conversion of The Struggle Trophy by medrops on MTS. This person doesn't visit or create anymore so I couldn't ask their permission, but I can't imagine they'd be opposed to this. I was TRYING to convert a hair, but found it impossible, and so I gave up and made an object instead. Way easier.


It's not two-dimensional, each "spiral" goes front or back a bit. I forgot to get a good shot of that. :p



Since this is supposed to be a unique object, it is not recolorable in any way. It is *the* struggle trophy! There can only be ONE! ...Unless you buy a bunch.

Costs 500 simoleons, found in Misc Deco. All credit to mesh/texture goes to medrops or wherever they got it from. :p

Attempting an object conversion: What am I doing wrong?


Looks fine in TSRW. But in-game...it's shiny all over, and the shininess is not consistent with the mesh.


What did I do wrong? :(

Bright Fantasy Contacts: Inspired by Kingdom Hearts

These eyes are loosely inspired by Sora's eyes in Kingdom Hearts. He has huge eyes with a dark-to-light top-to-bottom gradient, tiny pupils, and just two simple black circular lines kinda splotchy around the center.

I may tweak these further later, but for now I am quite satisfied.


The "grey" color is how they look when "white". The effect works better with lighter colors, otherwise it just looks like they have a single-color iris (which can look cool sometimes). They also look nice when all black, like in the fourth picture.

The little bright spot on the left side is part of the texture, not lighting. The brighter round spot is something in-game lighting makes appear on eyes. For some reason, girl eyes are flipped- if something is on the left, it seems to be on the right on a girl's right eye (see the 5th pic for an example).
