There is a Pes-bot that follows me, Jess Maree and Ness around at Maty, shouting death threats, while Pescado is out shopping for corn plasters, incontinence pants and ben-gay. That's what we think anyway

WANT!!

 I would like to volunteer to share your back yard with calalily.  It's definitely much more appealing than the cat poo I have in mine.

I kinda understand the Ness and Jess Maree death threats. I really don't get the threats for you, though. Is it because you made the lot without any bathrooms or did it start before that?

[Jess Maree]

I kinda understand the Ness and Jess Maree death threats.

I don't know what I did to deserve death threats. I think the threats for Ness and Emma are about having children, or desperately trying to have children.

[keirra]

Your death threats seem to be about being pedobait. The only reason I kinda understand it is cuz it's Pescado.

[Emma]

Yeah, it is because I had a baby about 20 months ago. That's when it first went in there...dunno why it is still in there though.

[keirra]

It looks like Pescado holds a grudge for awhile.

[Emma]

Yeah. Don't care though.

All Pescados Suck.

[brainiac]

Heh. I always saw you as a whale.

A quick ETA because...now that I actually have pictures, I should post this here. This isn't really showing off as much as it is asking for suggestions.

I recently decided to retexture some of XMsims' earlier hairs. I've currently got two colors down on one hair, but I'm really not confident about the textures. They look too dry and maxis-like to me.

here's the first one, blonde:


and the brown one:


Any tips on how I could make it look less muddy?

[chemistrycourtney]

That blonde is a bit too yellow for my tastes. I would get a bit more ash in there.  I cannot comment on the brown, as I cannot see it.

[brainiac]

I think you should see the brown one now.

D'oh. I knew I shouldn't have tried to match the 'sunny blonde' color. I'll lighten it up.

I love that house Chris. I can imagine my sims living there, is it on the beach or does it appear to be on the beach?

Plum, I can't wait for those to get past moderation queue. I hope you add matching boots (red on red, yellow on yellow)

I don't really texture, but I would say use a maxis texture as a base, make the texture fit the hair better. And then maybe add a touch of highlight. The hair is a little too yellow for me as well. If you're going to do "red" I'd suggest not making the red look like fruit punch, maybe a darker maxis red would do the trick.

Thanks guys.

To those who plan on barging into my backyard, the more the merrier. Lots of rum to go 'round.

It's a 2x2 lot, which I stupidly forgot to mention on the site, doh. So it's not really a beach lot, but I guess it could fit into that theme, if placed in the right area. The real house is surrounded by trees and such, so it's pretty much hidden.

Thank you very much for the tips And does this look like a fruity color? It's not the only red color I have planned (there's a orange-ish one and a pink color for a punk style), but it is the 'main' red, which means it'd be pretty bad if I've screwed it up
