Lorraine, Jennifer, and Clara (in that order)


I'm still not satisfied with Lorraine's hairstyle. The problem is, in the movies, her adult self has hair that is straight on the top, but curly at the bottom. It's also a short-to-medium hairstyle. I couldn't find anything that really fit for her, so I finally ended up with that one.
-M: *studies* Jennifer looks okay to me. Jen?-
-J: *studies* Clothes are a bit wacky, but I think I'm good.-
Well, it was the best I could do. Sims 2 are definitely 2004 Sims. And I'm really not a skinner at all.
-VD2: I can see that with Clara. I thought her hair would be up.-
None of those styles made me think of her. That one did. I think it makes her look like the old MJ Holmes Sim Clara.
-VD2: I'll agree with you there. She looks fine.-
Aspirations are Family for both Jennifer and Lorraine, and Knowledge for Clara. I thought about making Lorraine Romance, but I figured she's more the type to lavish attention on her life partner.
-J: *grin* I think mine fits me too.-
Your Part II self seemed quite eager to get into married life, honestly. :)

As for the Lloyds, they're doing just great. I gave them a tree and a catus with some grass outside. I also remodeled the kitchen area a bit -- they now have some extra counter and a stove. Since Josie's almost up to level 7 in cooking skill, I figured a stove would be safe. I also bought a loveseat to satisfy one of Mystie's wants. Gypsy has been promoted to Nurse too. Josie and Mystie also became best friends over pancakes. Mystie made friends with Weldon too, and wants to be his best friend as well.
-D: Quite the social butterflies you have there.-
Not really, they've only got two friends, both Mysteria's. I need to get them to meet you guys. But they're doing great on rewards. I can get them a practically-free hot tub now -- the Love Tub. Maybe Mystie can get some Whoo-Hoo in that and satisfy a power want.
-D: *a bit puzzled* What do you mean, a pratically free hot tub?-
The Love Tub is an Aspiration Reward. Special candles allow you to do more interactions with your intended lover inside. Once they're burned down, you have a nice hot tub you can still use.
-D: Ah, that is a bargain.-
Yup.

More About the Hair

[anonymoose_au]

I managed to find out how to modify the hair style files (you use Body Shop- select genetics, hair, pick the brown hair colour and then one of the medium hair styles), and I have been able to modify the hair so the outline is curly, but the problem is, the hair is flat at the bottom, rather than puffy. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the hair curly at the bottom and flat on top.

Well, maybe the Extension pack that's coming out next year, may offer more hairstyles.

Or perhaps someone who knows how to modify these things better than I do will come up with a solution :O)
