Premade Maxis Characters Part 2

[simlish]

Not really. I just took advantage of my sudden Bodyshop inspiration and completed the Broke family from the Sims 3. After all, my Legacy is based on the Brokes, so it was only fair that I included Skip's side of the family too.

This is likely the last piece of CC I share for a while, if only because I can barely stand my mouse anymore. Even playing the game is annoying because it keeps double clicking and canceling the queued actions. Grrr! And let's not talk about the annoyance that was making the hair recolors for Flo and Flat Broke :P

Just like my previous entries, these sims come with default eyes and skin tones, so their looks will depend on the replacements you have installed (I guess that the more MM they are, the better, specially considering the makeup I used for them). There is a tiny issue with Flo and Flat Broke that will be discussed below and there's a surprise "Sims 1.5" family in this entry too! :)

Obviously, Ruby and Skip are not part of this entry. You can download them in my previous post.

I know, I know... Flat and Flo Broke are supposed to be elders in The Sims 3.
The problem is that it is not possible to create a family with Elder sims as parents of child sims in CAS
You'd need to use SimPe or Insim to set the links between Skip and his parents correctly.
So, I figured it'd be better to have Flat and Flo as adults, right before their transition to elders, with appropriate CC to look that age.
The hair I created for these sims is enabled for adults AND elders, though (no gray color, both ages are identical) in case you want to set Flat and Flo as Elders (personally, they look more accurate at that age).
As for their clothing, as long as you have Nichelle's polo defaults, it's very easy to re-create their outfits with BG meshes, despite the limited options for Elders.
Flat's facial hair comes from Bon Voyage, so I suggest you use Clean Installer if you don't have the EP.

Just like Flat, Flo comes as an adult for those who don't want to fiddle with SimPe to set the links with her son, Skip.
Her hair is enabled for Adults and Elders only (no gray, both colors are identical) and it is binned, in case you want to have a "surprise late pregnancy" in your game.

For a long time, I thought this Sim was called Tigger :P
(Thank Goodness there's a Wiki for all those pesky details)
Trigger's clothing comes from TSS pack.
(And really, EAxis? What is your obsession with the color gray?)

My favorite of the bunch, Susie may look odd as a kid, but she grows up nicely.
She even resembles her nephew Beau as an adult (or at least she looks like some of my Legacy Sims)
Now that I am building the Uberhood, I am planning on placing Susie, Trigger and Ruby in the empty trailer homes at Pleasantview.

These actually come from "The Sims 1.5", because although they are not part of The Sims game, the Wikia mentions that Mary Sue and Cassandra are childhood friends, so it seems that the Oldies moved to Pleasantview shortly after the events of The Sims 1.

(And besides, considering that I uploaded Sims 1 versions of Daniel, Jennifer and John, Mary Sue was definitely missing!)

The Wiki mentions that both Herb and Coral are set as red-heads in SimPe.
I have no idea if this is true.

Coral's hair is from Open for Business
Her dress requires Free Time

Finally, here are a couple suggestions if you want to play with these Sims as they were "meant to be" by Maxis:

- Sadly, I am not sure someone has re-created Sunset Valley or Riverview for the Sims 2. I don't blame them, because it seems like an insanely large task O_o .

- However, the Wikia mentions that Riverview *may* be the predecessor of Riverblossom Hills (from Seasons) and that Sunset Valley eventually became Pleasantview. If you use an empty version of these hoods and place the "Rabbit Holes" as Neighborhood Deco that CuriousB created a couple months ago, it'd be easier to have your version of the Sims 3 hoods. I know there's a version of the Bachelor's house at MTS (but it requires a lot of CC), as well as the Main Square from Sunset Valley.

- However, if you want to play the Sims 1 version of Pleasantview, things will be much easier for you. Madame Mim at Genesims re-created the WHOLE Sims 1 hood, complete with terrain, characters and lots (which come empty or inhabited, and with several choices according to the Eps you have installed in your game).

- Finally, in case you want more Pre made character predecessors, Bog Sims has a lot of extracted characters, like Darleen Dreamer and all of Olive's dead husbands. Look for them in the Bodyshop/Genetics section. And a great source of extracted Premade characters is maxis_taste (At LJ)

- Enjoy!

(And if you know of other sources of Sims 1 and Sims 3 conversions, I'd love to have the link to them! :) )
