Corri & Gale: The Exes Come To Visit

Posed RP! This is from a chatlog from September 11.

 Galedorin sneaks another kiss from Corrienda in appreciation of her dress.

He holds Myrodan up and zooms about. Myrodan is having lots of fun pretending to be a crow, yelping out flap flaps to tell Galedorin to lift him higher.

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?"

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.

Go download the Posebox Reference List!

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.

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.
