i509.photobucket.com/albums/s336/Is_that_a_UFO/Tricolour/bannerforUBBS.jpg I decided to make a couple of sims recently to celebrate St Patrick's Day and now, a few days after the event , I've gotten around to sharing them! They may not be to anyone's taste but my own, but someone might like to have them in their game. They make good Townie fodder, I think - which is why (now that I'm done taking their pictures in-game) they're joining the likes of Goopy GilsCarbo and Sandy Bruty in my neighbourhood. All individual shots of the sims are unedited; the downloads are packaged in .rar files; and while I'm getting ahead of myself on this point, if you'd rather download all three in one go as opposed to downloading three different files, I have them packaged in bulk too.
1. Verdant Fitzgerald
Despite the fact that green has a supposedly calming influence on people, Verdant often finds himself locking horns with those around him over the most trivial of things. On the other hand, his flirtatious nature and outgoing personality has people of both genders flocking to him. While he certainly enjoys the company of others and is slow to turn down any invitation to socialise, Verdant fancies himself as a bit of a deep thinker and often wanders off to some remote place to 'sort his thoughts'. Charming and gregarious, yet sullen and argumentative, he can be a mystery to those who've seen both sides of his personality. In all fairness, Verdant is a mystery to himself. He often feels the need to verbalize his feelings and thoughts, just to get a better handle on how to deal with them - hence the numerous volumes of journals stashed under his bed. While he's slow to share things he deems private with others, Verdant definitely has room in his life for a significant other; even though they might not be the only person fulfilling this role for him.
2. Umber Saunderson
The idea that a red-headed girl has a fiery nature might have been formulated with Umber in mind. As quick to anger as she is to delight, people often treat her as a time bomb which is liable to explode at any moment - be it with fury, joy, despair or any other end-of-the-scale emotion. Despite her numerous emotional outbursts though, Umber is quick to rally after them and doesn't usually nurse a grudge for long. In keeping with the bright colours she wears, she likes to surround herself with a posse of colourful friends who can keep her entertained for as long as possible - which is usually a few hours at most, given her short attention span. She has a slightly malicious sense of humour, which does tend to alienate people from her. However, Umber often succeeds in winning them over in the end with her warmth of character and generosity, as well as her capacity for having fun. She's not really sure what she'd like to achieve in life, although she has the drive to prosper at something that enthrals her enough. Worries about her purpose in life however are unlikely to bother Umber much. She's quite happy at the moment to just go where life takes her, while enjoying herself as much as possible on the way.
3. Alabaster La Paz
Alabaster likes to compare himself to a white blank page: full of possibilities and future delights. An eternal optimist, he refuses to consider the negative connotations of this comparison. While he has friends in bucketloads, he often find himself palmed off from one group to another, almost as if he is an annoying child who, while tolerated, annoys his carers to the ends of their respective tethers. His child-like view of the world and near-gullible trust in strangers endears him to people, but his constant obliviousness and insatiable curiosity often lead those who know him to keep him at arm's length as regards friendship. For this reason, even while surrounded by people he knows, Alabaster often feels very alone. He longs for someone who stays with him not out of some sense of duty, but because they enjoy his company. Mostly though, Alabaster just wants his existence to continue as it is - unsullied by adult responsibilities and worries.
That's more or less it. I hope people have fun with them. Feel free to do what with you want with them - though naturally, I'd really prefer if you didn't re-upload them anywhere else. If they get up to anything interesting in your game, I'd love to see pictures. Enjoy!
(on a side note: more pictures can be found on my sim blog, here.)
