Sims I Like: Renee Kim

This last teenager could also have fit in last week with the Goth characters.  Renee Kim first appeared in the 5th and 8th Tales of the Scarlet Knight books as a Korean-American genius girl.  Her signature look was she wore pigtails of varying bright colors.  They started out as turquoise and changed colors a couple of times in the 8th book.

As one of those things I do, I worked her into some other books.  And then as kind of a meta-inside-joke I wrote I've Become My Asian Girl fantasy Too around her.  It's about a writer who created a series of books about a girl named Renee Kim who at night turns into a succubus who literally fucks guys to death.  Except like Ghost Rider or Spawn she only uses her demonic powers on bad guys.  Anyway, in the story the writer gets bonked on the head and in the dream finds himself inside the final book he was writing.

Anyway, this is the character created with the Sims 3.  I've tried in the Sims 4 but it never quite looks right. 

So you've got the turquoise pigtails with some funny decorations, white glasses, a cool black leather jacket, white T-shirt, and dragon or devil wing necklace.  Probably could use a little more makeup, but otherwise she's totally awesome.

Sims I Like: Hitter

In Girl Power: League of Evil, a group of villains were recruited to kill the good guys.  And they did "kill" the good guys.  But then those villains found themselves turned into young women thanks to an alien weapon unleashed by the one who recruited them.  With the world in chaos, those young women renounced villainy to become heroes.  (In part because like the Suicide Squad they had bombs implanted in their heads but later because they find it's more fun being the good guys.)

Hitter was a British assassin who never had any superpowers and lamented the fact he was put in Gitmo with all the other "freaks."  So he jumped at the chance to get free and kill the people who put him there.  Except when things go wrong, he finds himself changed from a grown man into a scrawny teenage girl.  She has a harder time with this change than any of the others because as a girl she looks a lot like the sister she lost tragically years ago.

As you can see his girl version is plain and mousy with straight brown hair and a plain black hoodie and white T-shirt.  You'd never think this kid was a world-class assassin right?

I made a Sims 4 version but there's no scarf for the hair that I've found yet:

Otherwise it's definitely an improved version.

Sims I Like: Teenage Kari

The Sims I Like theme this week is Teenage Wasteland.  Last Friday featured Kari Chomar as a Goth girl.  Today's is Kari as a teenager from The Stone of Change:  Secrets of the Stone.

As you can see, there's a lot of red involved:  red hair, red shirt, red lips, red shorts, and red sneakers.

Sims I Like: Goth Kari Chomar

To conclude Goth Week, let's go back in time to the Sims 3.  This is from Perfect Worlds:  The Stone of Change.  The story is about a guy who finds a magic stone on an alien world and uses it to change reality around him.  He especially enjoys tormenting his former boss, Kari Chomar.  At one point in the story he turns her into a Goth girl who works as a bartender in a seedy club.

I just think it's cool, but you might not.  Whatever.  We'll see more of Kari next week!

Sims I Like: Graveyard Girl

For Part 2 of Goth Girls week, this is the first one I made for the Sims 4 from the first story in Transformed Into a Goth Girl.  The idea was to make make a girl sort of like the cover for that book.  Though I suppose on the cover the girl has a more purplish corset and wilder purple hair, but whatever.  The story itself is about a guy who plays this old record by a band called the Graveyard Girls (which is based off a song by M83) and when he listens to a certain song on the record it makes him look like this girl.

Not a fan of the boots but I guess I didn't have anything better at the time.  The ripped stockings are kind of neat.  The tats are so light because the skin I used isn't a standard game one so it's more like the tats are under the skin instead of overlaid on it.  It does look kind of interesting.

This is the original book cover to compare and contrast:

The extra black space on the edges was for the paperback version on CreateSpace.

Sims I Like: Megan the Goth Girl

This week's theme:  Goth girls!  This one is named Megan and comes from Transformed for Mother's Day Too.  The gist of the story is that a boy is angry at his mother for embarrassing him on a date with the girl of his dreams.  It's the day before Mother's Day and he basically says he could be a way better mom than her.  So on Mother's Day he wakes up as an adult woman and finds himself caring for a girl named Megan--a young version of his mom.

First Megan is only 5 years old.  Then after a few hours she jumps to 10 years old.  This Goth version is the final one--about 15, which is as old as the boy was when he changed.  The idea is she's a rebellious teenager who thinks her mom is an idiot--until she nearly gets raped by her "boyfriend" and her mom has to come to her rescue.  That's when the boy realizes how hard it is to be a mom.

I like the combination of the hair and outfit.  The hair and top are both black-and-purple, so they go together.  Plus she's got the 5-pointed-star collar, nose ring, a couple tats, black lipstick, and the trendy glasses.  She's totally awesome, albeit a pain in the butt if you're her mom.

Sims I Like: Space Pirate

To conclude Sims in Space, this is the space pirate (or smuggler if you want) from Time & Space 2.  After the sector they're in gets closed off, two scientists hire the space pirate to get them back to Earth.  Except the same phenomenon happens to them.  But this is the Before for the pirate, when he's still a man.

The outfit was another that came in an expansion pack.  For no reason I threw on an eye patch.  I added the septum rings and spiked collar to complete the punk look.  It kind of went with the shittiness of his ship that he only has one eye; I mean you don't really want a pilot with one eye, do you?  Depth perception is kind of important.

Here's what he looks like when he first turns into a woman:

I didn't have a female Mohawk so I had to make do.  Otherwise it's pretty much the same, albeit less muscular.

Sims I Like: Boldly Going Gender Swap

Monday Cindy Borgne suggested that gender swapped versions of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy from Star Trek would be interesting and it reminded me that a month or so ago I downloaded Star Trek uniforms based on the reboot movies.  So now, beam up gender swapped Kirk, Spock, and McCoy:

First, Jamie T. Kirk.  I would have used a bouffant like Yeoman Rand but I don't have one, so this seemed pretty close.  The figure is really sexual with huge breasts.  Also plenty of makeup, big dangly earrings, and tall spike-heeled boots.

Next, Dr. Lenore McCoy.  She's not as sexy since she's middle-aged.

Finally, um, Ms. Spock.  Anyway, not a lot of makeup or anything.  I haven't really figured out how to make pointed ears but the hair covers it up anyway.

And just for the fun of it, here are the other main characters:

Mona Scott

Scotty I made a little chunkier like the movie one.

Hikaru Sulu

Sulu has sword-shaped earrings as a reference to the episode when he went crazy and started waving a sword around.

Antonia Chekov

Chekov is the youngest so she's a teen instead of an adult.

Mr. Uhura

For some reason I don't have the male version of the uniform, so I used something close for Uhura.  The goatee is a reference to the evil parallel universe where Spock had a goatee and the earring is supposed to be like the thing Uhura always had in her ear.

Sims I Like: Captain Page Gilmore

This week's Sims I Like theme is Sims in Space!  This is Captain Page Gilmore from the story Time & Space.  It's about three male space explorers who are returning home when they come across an energy cloud.  The cloud actually seems to follow them and when it envelops the ship it turns them all into women who then proceed to seemingly at random get younger.  In this first iteration, the preening Captain Page is turned into a gorgeous woman.  And she's actually OK with that.

This is just one of the standard space uniforms that came in an expansion pack.  With the hair and that she's supposed to look like Space Captain Barbie.  Don't you wish they had captains in Star Trek this hot? Ha ha.

Sims I Like: Spider-Girl

This was a "happy accident" as Bob Ross would say.  I was just goofing around and clicked on the Spider-Man costume someone made.  For whatever reason the Spidey costume mesh overlaid itself onto the skirt that the generic character was wearing.  I just thought it looked neat.

I'm not sure if a female Spidey character in the comics has worn a skirt before.  The face and hair were just whatever the generic character came out with.  There is a Spider-Man mask to match but I like it better without the mask.
