Sim Height Tag

Rules: use this site to make a chart of your sims’ heights, then screenshot your sims and place them onto the chart. Adjust their size to get a comparison. Then tag as many others as you want to see their character’s heights too.

I was tagged by @eslanes, thank you!

I absolutely did not use the above site because I’m terrible with measurements. But this is more or less how I see the line up, ranging from Marcus (hobbit) to Danny (giant). There are equal signs between those sims whose heights are the same. If you’d like to see a larger version, click here.

This was fun AND a pain in the ass, so I’m tagging whoever would like to suffer in their spare time.

Marcus: I enjoyed myself today, thank you.

Alan: You’re welcome. I liked showing you around; I got to see the city through fresh eyes. It’s easy to take it all for granted.

M: Mhm.

[A pause. Alan is assessing.]

A: Would you like me to sleep downstairs on the couch?

M: What? No. That’s not necessary.

A: So you’re okay with sleeping in the same bed?

M: Yes, that’s fine. I’m sorry, I’m just…tired and a little overwhelmed. I don’t know what to do with it all. Sleep will help. Are you okay? With everything?

A: I’m a little nervous, to be honest.

M (surprised): About what?

A: Well, starting a new partnership is always nerve-wracking. Each sim is trying to figure out what they want, how they feel. You don’t quite know the other sim well enough to judge what they’re thinking, whether they like you or not.

M: I’ve been told I’m not easy to read.

A: We’ll learn each other in time.

M: For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t like you. [He kisses Alan’s temple.] I’d be back home congratulating myself on all the money I saved from not buying a train ticket.

A (laughing): Shut up.

M: Just so you know, this is the face I make when I want you to kiss me.

A (smiling): Duly noted.

Created for an NYC build challenge by Cimthabestb247 on Twitch, this is inspired by Chinatown neighbourhood in Manhattan, and ready to be explored. At street level, there’s a restaurant, a tea café, and a convenience store that is currently closed. Around the corner, you’ll find apartment buildings, which includes one converted into a modern loft with beautiful views of the city.

Deco Sims Mania: BGC sim objects by thesimsblues

You know what’s the most anxiety-ridden part of sim storytelling? Setting up scenes in public places where a ton of sims need to be in the background. The hassle of getting a lot set up, figuring out poses, getting those sims lined up–too much. Gah. But no longer! @neutralsupply provided this tutorial on how to create deco sims, and the heavens parted, and angels sung from on high. My life was forever changed for the better, so thanks go to her! What I present to you is a collection of 16 deco sims objects I’ve made over the last year. These folks are very high poly and range from 2kb to 8kb files in order to preserve the quality of the textures and mesh shapes. Each deco has at least three recolors: one with dark skin, one with medium, and one with light. Here’s my favorite part: because these deco sims are objects, I added slots to them! As you can see in the last image above, the sitting sims in this collection are slotted to hold deco in their laps. I’ve put in one large slot, one medium, and three small to provide options. If you’d like to see some of these guys in actual story scenes, please take a look at this image, this one, this one, and this. (Thanks to @xldkx, @therichantsim, @budgie2budgie, and @trumpets0ng for providing these caps!) Whew. As always, I have an open TOU, so please enjoy!
