[The Sims2 look-alikes] All links dead, see the new thread

[DasteRoad]

UPDATE: 27th April 2007
____________________
I hereby declare this thread dead! All the links to downloads and images you'll find here are dead, that's why they're stricken. To see and/or download my EGS Sims, visit the new thread.
____________________
I'm pretty sure this has already been done, but oh whatever. Bear with me:
1 - I was bored
2 - I love EGS
3 - It's been a while since I didn't tamper with the Sims2 so it seemed like a good/stupid/fun idea.

Tedd n Grace here for ya

* THESE LINKS ARE DEAD, VISIT THE NEW THREAD *

<strike>Tedd
Grace
femTedd</strike>

* MISSING IMAGE *
Isn't he just adorable?? >.< I'd really say he's just that girly
A few notes:
1 - the teen and adult outfit, purple hair and eyebrows made by me recoloring the ingame standards.
2 - I have absolutely no idea what color Tedd's eyes are, but I made them blueish/green because I imagined them like that, and because they were good on his face. The eyes are not made by me and are not ingame, but I don't remember where I downloaded them, sorry.
3 - The glasses are ingame. Unfortunately I'd need a 3d modeling software to make them similar to Tedd's actual glasses, and this is way beyond my level/possibilities right now. They suit him fine, however, don't they?

Uhm, and of course, I couldn't help but making female Tedd too (<strike>see her here: note the pretty ingame schoolgirl outfit!</strike>)

* MISSING IMAGE *
Now here's our beloved Grace! She's so cute, and yes, I couldn't resist the silly "teddy" joke
A few notes here too:
1 - I know, the ponytail is thin and too low on her head, but there are no other ingame good-looking ponytails. I found a pretty custom ponytail on some site (here, if I'm not mistaken), but it only looks good in the adult version: it's really short for Grace's standard as a teen, <strike>as you can see here</strike>.
2 - Everything in the character, apart from the beautiful skintone that I downloaded from a no-longer-available site (lucky me), is ingame standard content. As with Tedd, I worked most of all on facial features to obtain some kind of resemblance to the comic. Of course they're still quite different, but I think that they indeed look like "normal" simpeople who have something that reminds of the comic.
3 - I know, she is without antennae. And this makes me suffer because I love Grace's antennae: but I couldn't make them, for the same reason I couldn't make Tedd's glasses.

I made the rest of the crew also (even Mr Verres ), but I need to work on their outfits a little more, so perhaps I'll post some pics later.

[Narcitel]

Whoa! this is really good

[Reg DeCurry]

Color me impressed.

[TeddVerres]

Not half bad, not even a quarter bad!

[DasteRoad]

Color me impressed.

Thanks... I personally like a lot how Tedd's purple hair shading turned out. More to come in the next few days ^_^

Not half bad, not even a quarter bad!

Thank you! You know, since you've drawn the purple goatee on Tedd, I could make it also for the sim version, and you could use it as an avatar

[common svensson]

cool!!!
Especially fTedd looks cute! Looking forward to see the rest of the gang...

[DasteRoad]

Especially fTedd looks cute!

Heh, I know... after all, who could resist a female Tedd in a schoolgirl outfit?

:: Time for another update! ::
This time the two are totally unrelated, if not for the fact that they both have kissed Elliot at least once in their lives: here are Nanase and Sarah!
(on a side note: since also Ellen kissed Sarah once, let's hope it'll happen with Nanase too very soon! )

<strike>Nanase (with standard hair, like in the pic)
Sarah
Right-click and save to your hard drive, then open the files to install the characters.</strike>

* MISSING IMAGE *
Aren't they pretty? ^_^
Personally I like them a lot. Nanase looks cute and mysterious, while Sarah looks cute and peaceful-girl-to-be-trusted, so everything is in place in the EGSverse
Usual few notes:
1 - everything on both characters is standard ingame content, with the exception of Nanase's makeup which I downloaded somewhere. Nanase's outfit is nothing like seen in the comic, but it seemed to me like something that will look great upon her, so it was just an aesthetic choice (and a quick one, because I didn't find any fitting model to make a recolor that looked like her usual outfit).
2 - I know, Nanase's hair is different, but believe me, this was the best choice. Standard the Sims2 hairdos range to very straight to very curly, but nothing like "middle-wavy" to match Nanase's style. BTW, <strike>femTedd's features</strike> were used as a base for Nanase's face (and of course femTedd's features are based on Tedd's). In the comic there are some similarities between the two characters' features, not to mention the fact that they are cousins (not close relatives, but relatives nonetheless) - so it seemed to me like a nice idea, and I like how it turned out.

Lemme know what you think!
I'm still working on the Wonder Twins (...I'm talking about Elliot and Ellen, of course. What were you thinking? ), so I think that the next update will be about... well... the mystery man #1: Mr Verres!!!

[Raging Mouse]

They are excellent! Though I must express a slight melancholy over the fact that apparently Nanase was dressed by her mother...

[Jake R]

Skirt's too short for that if you ask me, but yeah I know what you mean...

Also:

IT'S SARAH! *Glomps DasteRoad down to the ground and won't let go*

[Kyrio]

it looks more like a compromise between her tastes and her mother's. It's modest, but still pretty showy. Great work.

[TeddVerres]

Thank you! You know, since you've drawn the purple goatee on Tedd, I could make it also for the sim version, and you could use it as an avatar

I would like that very much, thansk fotr the offer! And FYI nice work on Nanase and Sarah..... I guess we won't have to wiat to long for Elliot, Ellen, Justin, MR Verres, and Possibly Greg.... maybe?..... And this is jsut a suggestion, how bout one of the TG Partay? .... heehehhe..... Female Justin and Male Nanase..... hehehehehe.......

and I hate to Referance Futurama, but...... Like they said she kinda looks like her mother dressed her, but.....m "She is wearingthe World's Shortiest Skirt!"

[Jake R]

Just so you all know, the '... something' in Sarah's pic disturbs me greatly. We know too little of her... she's so cute, she was the third EGS character (or at least, made public) and still... she 'doesn't even have a last name'?

[Sanchay]

I now pine for the Sims 2. Thanks a lot...

These are excellent. I wanna get this program now, but my compy is a peice of crap!

[DasteRoad]

Eh, I would have dressed her sexier but as I said, I didn't find anything fitting to recolor. There was a nice outfit that showed her belly, but it was with trousers, and well, I wanted pretty-Nanase-with-miniskirt (I mean, who doesn't? ).

Of course, I could try to make ammends for that posting a pic of sim-Nanase in lingerie or in a swimsuit. It wouldn't be NSFW, right?

Also:

IT'S SARAH! *Glomps DasteRoad down to the ground and won't let go*

*Glomps Jake back, at the same time struggling to breathe*

Yep, I recall from some other thread that Elliot and Sarah are your fave EGS characters... you'll be glad to know, then, that I'm working on a fanfic about them and I'll post it on Mayhem in the next few days
(seriously though, yes, I'm really writing about them. I hope you'll like it)

Just so you all know, the '... something' in Sarah's pic disturbs me greatly. We know too little of her... she's so cute, she was the third EGS character (or at least, made public) and still... she 'doesn't even have a last name'?

I had the same feeling yesterday, while I was writing about her. I like Sarah a lot, but I think we've not seen enough yet about her life, her feelings, her relationship with Elliot. I have a feeling that Dan knows this, and that the remainder of the party will get us to know her a lot better.

I would like that very much, thansk fotr the offer! And FYI nice work on Nanase and Sarah.....

Female Justin and Male Nanase..... hehehehehe.......

I'm already working on your avatar and I'll PM you everything as soon as I'm done

As for the transgenders, as you can see from femTedd, it's very easy for me to create a female TG from a male base, and vice versa: all I have to do is chance the gender setting during character creation, and tweak the settings a bit in case the facial features look too odd. So, yes... you will see them

I now pine for the Sims 2. Thanks a lot...

These are excellent.

Thanks to you
If you somehow manage to bring your comp back to life, yes, go get yourself a copy of the Sims2. It's addictive, and it's really a lot of fun to play with characters you know and see them grow up

[Dynonychus]

I'm pretty sure this has already been done, but oh whatever. Bear with me:
1 - I was bored
2 - I love EGS
3 - It's been a while since I didn't tamper with the Sims2 so it seemed like a good/stupid/fun idea.

Ironically, while I was sans cable all last week, I did the exact same thing I only did Nanasae, though, and as a Young Adult... Teen was a bit too svelte and YA had better outfits

Mine looks rather stranger, since I was trying for an almost identical facial structure to the comic, but was stymied by the eyes. EGS has HUGE eyes, which isn't really a problem except that they're drawn with relatively small irises... something which I haven't seen a mod for. It's also very hard to generate eyes that big without messing up the cheekbones and brow.

I'd post a pic, but I have nowhere to upload to

Unfortunately I don't have University, so... no young adults for me

The problem is that if you really try to imitate the comic's style the features will look deformed, and the sim would not look like a real person. So I just tried to catch the general look of the characters: overall I think they turned out good

Regarding uploading, however, I think you can easily sign up for a free account on somewhere like photobucket or imageshack, or are you having technical problems?

[AsianJoyKiller]

Sadly, it seems my school's webfilter blocks altervista, so I can't see them at the moment.
But I did have the change to glance at them last night, and I must say, they're great.
I don't think I could do half as well.

[bignutter]

Nanase face seems off to me. I think she has a bit plailer skin and more of a "Kitsune Kao" (Fox Face), Which her surname surgests.. and Sarah's a bit more "padded" that I'd expect..

Nice all round.. I am so going to get Sims 2 after I upgrade.

EHm, forgive me, I'm italian and I don't get "padded"... if you are referring, as I think you do, to chest size, unfortunately (:P) this is not a feature I can change in the game: that is the standard chest size for teens, and believe me, it's not that big, it's just the camera angle. I personally like Nanase's face, but you are right, it may need some work.

Now talking about skin tones: that is the standard "light skin" colour. I tried some custom pale skintones, but the effect was very unnatural so I left the standard one.

:: But now it's time for another Update!!! ::

Take a look at charming (?) Mr Verres!

Blue hair, moustache and eyebrows made by me, everything else is standard content.
Eh, our favourite mystery man

And now, let it not be said that DasteRoad cares not for you... Sexy Nanase for ya all!!!

* MISSING IMAGE *
Irresistable, isn't she?
1 - the skintone is only slightly paler than the standard, and like the miniskirt and the swimsuit, is custom, but, err, I don't remember where I downloaded it. The skintone was chosen for the sole purpose of making her look sexier, so... love me
2 - the thinny-thin-black-tankshirt and tiny-small-miniskirt-with-stockings-and-high-boots outfit is a tad better than the previous reddish one, ain't it?

[Weep]

Take a look at charming (?) Mr Verres!

He looks good, but younger. His hair doesn't seem quite the same, a bit shorter and more styled. And of course, the mustache is much smaller.

I know. Unfortunately there are no "middle aged" sims: only adult and elder until Maxis thinks about a middle-age expansion
I had a very poor choice about his hair, and I would gladly have given him his good ol' bushy moustaches, but I can control facial hair style, not length.

Sorry, did I upset you? Or did Nanase?

[Sky Render]

Well, that cinches it. Somebody will have to make a Grace hair model for Sims 2. Complete with antennae, if possible. I'd do it, but a.) I lack the 3D modeling and texturing skills, and b.) I have more than enough to occupy my time right now.

You have just pointed out the reasons why I can't do it too, even though I really miss Grace's lovely antennae

[kinkoblast]

And that's why I wish I had a 3d scanner. Hmm. Well, I'm sure SOMEONE arround here can use Blender

Is there any chance we might see the files for these guys (and gals) posted? Of course, you would need to get the personality right, and crunching Grace into a bunch of numbers isn't going to be easy. Or Tedd. Or anyone else.

Darn you Maxis, why don't we have a "perversion" personality stat?

Yes, I will upload the sims2pack files later, but since I don't know how to export ingame characters, players will have to import them in the game and create a new family.

Of course, you would need to get the personality right, and crunching Grace into a bunch of numbers isn't going to be easy. Or Tedd. Or anyone else.

Darn you Maxis, why don't we have a "perversion" personality stat?

This is one of the reasons why I haven't started playing with them yet (another is that I want all of the main crew ready before playing). They're very hard to pigeonhole: for instance, what aspiration could you decide for Tedd? I would think romance as a first choice, but it's not really that fitting, and what about his mad scientist shy attitude? It comes even worse for Susan: she's not a family, romance, wealth or whatever type! The same goes for Grace, Sarah... and as a matter of fact, all the others, oh my gosh
