Corri & Gale: The Stag Lounge

MORE POSED RP. Well, sort of. This wasn't actually played out, just hand-waved. Just a few - and even these few took me all morning. /facepalm

Much to Galedorin's bemusement, Corrienda convinced him that they should go to the Stag Lounge together on a Friday night, where they had shows. The dancing girls were pretty good...

Corri & Gale: RP followup

Follow up RP to what I posted before! This was fun to make because it was just snippets of RP on Feathermap and in-game. The entire exchange with the woman at the lounge is "real" but I got to flesh out the details. Also, this is labeled as a "Corri & Gale" story, but it's just Corri here.

Corrienda's in the same dress as she was wearing before because I forgot to change her... and I forgot to get her shoes. >.< Also, I had to crappily Photoshop a picture into her hand because I could not figure out how to get her holding a piece of paper on a community lot, grr.

The next morning, Corrienda got on the buzzbox to make some inquiries. "Does anyone know anything about an establishment called "The Stag Lounge?"

Corrienda listened as her friends gave the place less-than-glowing reviews. "Why on Azeroth do you wanna know about that place?"

I had a fever today and didn't have enough energy to do more than curl up in my computer chair like a blob, so that means two dresses tonight. :p

Voodoo Robes

These robes date from the beginning of WoW and can be seen on troll NPCs all over the place. However, only the purple, yellow, and red versions (the last three in the picture) are available to players - the other three I pulled out from the game files.

Corri and Gale: Real RP storytelling (3/20)

After doing some messing around with poseboxes, I decided that I would try using the Sims to create images to go along with the text-based RP that Galedorin and I have done. It kind of took forever going since I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I'm sure it will go faster as I get used to what all the posebox options are and everything. All the captions are lifted from the chatlog. This, of course, represents a colossal misuse of my time but I hope other people will think that it's cool.

To clarify: Corrienda is very pregnant with their second child, and was put on pelvic rest prior to these events for fear of preterm labor. Their son Myrodan is present the whole time, it's just a pain to pose toddlers so I didn't mess with it. :P

Corrienda paints in watercolors a scene that is fairly abstract so far, but  does include small figures in the lower right hand corner.

Cool find: Posebox Reference List

So, if you are using the Sims to tell stories beyond just what randomly happens in game, this file is amazing:

This lists like all the poseboxes and animboxes out there as of Feb 2012 (which, yeah, is 2 years old now, but that's still way better than a lot of Sims 2 reference lists you're going to find out there). It is a table with a picture of the posebox, the creator, where to download it from, and occasionally a little bit more info. A few links were broken, but for the most part it was super handy. At the end of the last file, there was a list of tutorials for how to make awesome pictures - which, as a total noob, I found to be WAY HELPFUL - plus dozens of other handy links for storytellers.

Feathermoon: Ilarra and Corise

Today, we've got Ilarra:

She's got a cute little cabin in the woods. She stopped to do some birdwatching on her way home.

Download: Corruptor Raiment

I've gobs more pretty dresses to do, but I thought it was time I do another cool armor set! This is the Corruptor Raiment, the warlock armor set from Serpentshrine Cavern in World of Warcraft's second expansion, introduced in January 2007. (Yes, this is my third set of armor from that particular raid - what can I say, the art was amazing!) This outfit will be perfect for your evilest of Sims!

The armor is for adult male and female; there are no additional morphs (but I'm willing to go back and add a pregmorph if you want to tell a story about birthing hellspawn or something  lol ). Male is based on SBB, female is based on Maxis. The armor has about 4000 polys and the hood has about 1000.


Unlike other hoods that I've done, this one is a hat in the hair section and will show up for Everyday and Outerwear. The idea behind this is that if you are smarter than me, you could replace your Atrociously Evil Witch's outfit with this one. The hairs for all the other outfits are mega lame Maxis ones, so you'll want to set your hair by outfit. Also: Since I cloned this from the ninja hood, it is possibly you might need OFB to make this work.

Download: Embersilk Robes

Continuing with the theme of "nice-looking dresses that my WoW character roleplays in" , we have the Embersilk Robes tonight. Again, like the Hibernal Robes they all technically have different names, so I picked one and stuck with it. These robes also date from WoW's beginnings.

They use the same mesh as the Hibernal Robes above (though if you downloaded it in the last 24 hours before this post, you should redownload because I fixed some minor texture mapping problems). Again, this mesh is high-poly because of the SexyFeet. And again...

Hurray for pregmorphs! (Though with the big belt this particular dress has, you may not want to use them.)

Cool find: Hearthstone Cellphone replacements

EEEE LOOK AT THIS THING:

It replaces all the cellphones in your game to be hearthstones! I know some people prefer the idea of a buzzbox for their RP, but I love how this looks.

Corri & Gale: Winter Fun

At Gale and Corri's, it had started snowing pretty seriously! Gale and Myrodan went out to play:

Feathermoon: Yva, Tarquin, and Annalea

So, I went around to do a few updates to reflect current RP, such as making Yva be pregnant. (Gotta admit, I did it via hack - Sim!Yva and Sim !Tiberious haven't actually even met each other yet. >.>) Yva embraced her RP-inspired reality with gusto:

Once she finished with that, she headed to the common room of the apartment complex. Tarquin was there playing pool:

And Yva was like, Anything you can do I can do better!

Corri & Gale: Fun with Poseboxes

Had some fun with poseboxes last night - MayPink's Pinup posebox, MayPink's Lovers 3 posebox, and Kitty's Against the Wall posebox. The couples ones were a pain in the butt to get working right - even with snapping objects to grid turned off, every time I'd get my Sims close to one another, they'd go sideways and all wonky. So frustrating! But I finally managed to get it. Maybe I'll try again tonight.

Pictures involve lingerie and are NSFW, so you can find them behind the cut.

Download: Hibernal Robes

These robes all have different names, so I picked the one I remembered best. They date from the original release of the game and I picked them just because they are pretty - I often dress my character up in these for roleplay.

These are adapted from SozeKeyser's alpha mesh for 34D. It's a new mesh, though, that has UV mapping optimized for WoW textures, sexyfeet, and a pregmorph!

As a result there's a lot of polys. (Will edit this post when I can check just how many.) I might go back and make this a multishoe mesh, but for now, it's just barefoot.

Since I plan on reusing this mesh for a bunch of other robes, the download is separate. Make sure you download BOTH FILES for this to work in your game.

Feathermoon: Fells

Dwyndle, our resident gnomish nun, designed a ridiculous confection of a wedding dress for Fells. I had a vision of my head of how that would work and I had to realize it.

She's really supposed to have a ponytail, but that hat is SPOT ON.

Feathermoon: Aelflaed

All righty, less clothing, more Simming! Here's Aely!

Download: Lunar Festival Dresses

The Lunar Festival is World of Warcraft's analogue to the Chinese New Year, and its costuming, decorations, and activities reflect that connection. In WoW lore, it is primarily a Night Elven holiday based in the druidic sanctuary of Moonglade, though all races are invited to participate.

This dress (for Adult Female only) is based upon the Maxis long China dress, but is a new mesh with long sleeves and slits on both sides instead of just one. It is available in 4 colors and 2 sizes, Maxis (2234 polys) and 34D (2239 polys).

Both meshes have a pregnant morph, but only the Maxis one has a fat morph.

Download: Brown Demon Hunter

This collection of items is not an official set, but was put together by the folks at WoW Roleplay Gear. This brown, one-shouldered set is for leather-wearers and can be constructed from items in the original WoW game and its first expansion. The Illidari Warglaives, also known as the Warglaives of Azzinoth, were wielded by the supervillain Illidan Stormrage and are notable for being items of the highest quality level in the game. Their distinctive look and legendary status makes them some of the most sought-after items in the game.

The Adult Male demon hunter is based on the SBB bodytype, and has 7355 polys. The Adult Female is based on the Athletic Girl bodytype and has 7172 polys. They are so high because they have BlooM's SexyFeet.

Download the Brown Demon Hunters

The Illidari warglaives have 1864 polys. They attach at your Sim's lower back and otherwise do not move. The faint green glow around them is intentional.

Download the Illidari Warglaives

The blindfolds are not mine; you can download the mesh from RoseSims and the black recolor from MTS. (The blood tears are not part of the blindfold recolor.)

Download: Vestments of the Dark Phoenix

This armor set for rogues was introduced in summer 2011 with the Firelands raid; all the armor sets from this particular tier have a fiery theme. Unfortunately, I don't know a good way to recreate particle effects in the Sims, so this lacks the cool fire breath from the bird shoulders and the smoke that rose from them. Nevertheless, your Sim should enjoy this outfit!

Both Adult Male and Female outfits come in purple and gold varieties; neither has fat or pregmorphs. Male mesh has 3785 polys and female mesh has 3643 polys.

The helm has 842 polys. The neck scarf should move with the neck instead of the rest of the helmet. A couple notes for using this helmet well: 1) You will want to use a bald head to prevent clipping. 2) This helmet includes eye masks. You'll want to play around with your Sim to figure out the best size and shape to work with them well, but once you've got it right it looks pretty cool from a distance.

Corri & Gale: Fun at Home

Nothing special, just a pic dump because BABIES ARE ADORABLE. And because, seriously, I've been RPing this character for ages and I've finally got her every day life realized in pictures. IT IS NEAT.

BUT FIRST: A pillow fight:

OK, now babies!

Feathermoon: Varenna and Silveria

Just a quickie - here's Varenna and Silveria:

They live in the same apartments as Malanie, Flo, and Lyirdanna's family. I'm not thrilled with Varenna's dress - I need t find something a bit more period appropriate. Also, apparently Varenna has been harboring a secret crush on Malanie - she was super intent on flirting with her pretty much as soon as they met. I had to intervene to get her to pay attention to Silvy.

LOVE EACH OTHER, DAMMIT.

BONUS PICTURE: I think Nertiah found out where I live, you guys:

Download: Emerald Druid

This armor set is not an actual set at all, but put together from pieces of a couple different sets. It is the outfit that my druid character in WoW currently wears. The picture compares the Sims version with the WoW version - it lacks all the shiny bits and the cloak, but everything else should look OK.

The armor is based on SozeKeyser's 34D Alpha Dress. The mesh was remapped and had shoulders added, so it is brand new. Adult female only, no fat or pregmorph, 4442 polys.

The download has both the armor as well as a Sim package for my character. If you install the Sim package, you won't need to copy the armor into your downloads folder, so pick one or the other.
