I like your Bella better. Maxis’ one was too va-va-voom. Pretty but wasn’t how I imagined Bella Goth. If you put her in the Gallery then I’ll replace in-game Bella with her come september. :D

Thanks :) I kind of want to edit her face a bit more though. I agree with the too much va-va-voom. I think Maxis Bella looks too much like a pin-up. Which I normally like, but I like TS2 Bella more than any other (just my opinion). I'll put her in the Gallery now. :)

simberry-pie said: Genetics are Mendelian/Punnet Square genetics like in sims 2. IGN did a video with Graham on it. I saw that video, it showed skin blending (good) and that facial features were passed on (that's like the LEAST they could do), but there's no information on how (dyed) hair is inherited or recessives. TS3 had facial features, hair colour and eye colour being passed on too, but no recessives - no depth. What you saw was what you got. I haven't seen anything about TS4 proving it won't be that way there, too.

Right? I wanna see my best friend’s extreme pear shape. She has very wide hips, a barbie doll type waist, and a small chest. That would make a beautiful sim!

That sounds gorgeous! I vote to put you in charge of marketing the game. :P If they had actual players creating the sims for these renders there would be such an upswing of diverse imagery. Not only body shapes but PoC sims as well.

dramallamadingdang replied to your post:not to defend ea, because they're very problematic and to some extent you definitely have a point, but when i look at the renders sims4news posted today i see a lot of variation in the women's body types.

I love how the nerdy guy has women rubbing up against him. Dreaming much, devs? *rolls eyes* And yep, of COURSE, the larger one is getting odd looks. Whatever! I’m not buying the game, so I don’t really care all that much.

Ah, putting the ability to make different shapes in the game is one thing. Putting differently-shaped women in the promo images? Entirely another thing. Even though I’d bet that a good chunk of the people who play this game are larger females.

I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll buy the game, but I have to say that the promo images are pushing me towards piracy if I do decide to go for it. I'm still excited for the CAS possibilities, but I'm not going to put money towards EA's continual head-up-assery. And I absolutely agree, if your fanbase is primarily women - of no doubt diverse backgrounds and genetic makeup - you should probably curb the misogynistic fat-shaming tendencies. Just saying.

I would like you to publish this if you want. People on Tumblr are literally the worst. I have never been on a website more toxic where people believe it's okay to tell someone to 'go die'. I love being in the sims community but the bullshit you're getting for standing up to the casual use of misogyny in the Sims 4 with this damn trait is ridiculous. Men do not need a special word just to have platonic deep friendships. My boyfriend manages to be BFFs with his friend just fine. Idiots.

I can’t really condemn the site completely because for every gross wankstain who tells me I’m overreacting or should kill myself, I get nice messages of support. Which I really appreciate, thank you everyone! :)

Anyway, I had a whole post here talking about casual misogyny and how using words like bromance just reinforces the notion that things for women aren’t good enough for men unless they give it a new name that showcases how manly it is, but I realised I’ve said all that stuff before and I’m tired of repeating myself. It’s a stupid name for a trait and I hope EA take at look at the Bro trait tag here on Tumblr, read the messages I’ve got for talking about it and have a long hard think about what they’re planning to do here.

Unless they really are going to give sims with the Bro trait an autonomous “Holler At” interaction and code the game to reject all their attempts at flirting, in which case it might just be the best trait ever.

Will you make a tutorial on how to fix the transparency issues?

I believe nyshabrokeit is planning to make a tutorial on how to fix 3t2 hair transparencies :) I'm fairly certain their method is different from mine and might even be easier XD (mine requires going into blender and pulling it apart layer by layer and then re-importing back into milkshape and playing around).

Oh thank you thank you for fixing that Loose Curls hair. A sim of mine is currently using it and the transparencies are so annoying.

Yeah - I cringed when I saw that on darker hairs and I was disappointed in myself that I couldn't fix it and had to release it as is (but now I know how to fix it!)

katzengirl replied to your post: Some WIP hairs…3t2 of the Frizzy Shoul...

What causes the hair & scalp see-thru-ness?

I think this transparency issue was introduced with TS2 Pets EP, when hair layer order and opacity setting suddenly became important. TS2 hairs come in layers (groups) and the order they're in is important to avoid transparencies (which is why some custom hairs with a lot of bits have lots of groups, including an "under" layer). The problem with TS3 hairs is that they only have one group, which does not play well with TS2's "rules" about hair.

threadandsandpaper replied to your post: Some WIP hairs…3t2 of the Frizzy Shoul...

I freaking HATE IT when hairs do that thing that the midnight curls are doing. Thank you.

Some are worse than others, and this was one of the worst |D I'm sorry I had to release it like that, so I've gone back to fix it now :D
