the alice project

[roo]

I am so in love with Trapping & Kayleigh's edit of Amaryll's charming Alice alpha mesh that I actually attempted recolors. (I never imagined I would drift from shameless technical thief to clumsy creative thief. This is true love, people.) I use Amaryll's original solids in my game to evoke a certain simplicity (the white makes a stunning "homespun" wedding gown), but I wanted patterns and vibrant colors so my more sophisticated Sims could wear this lovely dress with its sweet preg morph.

This is my first attempt at recoloring. If you have feedback, don't hesitate to speak up. Tips for reducing pixelation (particularly in the darker colors)? I'd love to hear 'em. Advice on creating seamless joins? I'm all ears.

25 recolors using 14 patterns from colourlovers.com. Swatch (incomplete! argh!):

Such pretty dresses! I want to wear your Sims' clothes!


Are the girls in the last picture drunk?

They all showed up at the party in the same patterned dress. They're either drunk or bridesmaids. Which I suppose is the same thing.

Y'know, if you played The Sims, you would be a creating machine.

How can I start a new hobby when I can't even keep up with the ones I have now? (Do you KNOW how long Fujimi is? I'm never going to finish!)

reposting to coorect html. gah!

*sniffle* You chose Sara. I think I'll go eat worms.

I just sometimes think it would be fun if you and 'paro took up this game because you're such creative types it would be interesting to see what you would make for your own game. But I'll get over it. Also, it makes me feel less guilty about not fangirling the Fujimi posts like I would have 10 years ago. Oy, time. Also, oy, small novel.

Aww, don't eat worms! :( It has nothing to do with you or Sara, and everything to do with the sort of obsessions I gravitate towards. (Crazy long BL series about dorkily rabu-rabu couple? Yes! Game in which I make characters and try to manipulate them? ...Meh.) From what I know of Sims (admittedly not much), I think the designing parts would be fun, but the lack of story and character development wouldn't hold my interest for very long.

My problem with video games has always been that I'd rather watch someone else play them than play them myself. Which is why I'm sure I would also prefer reading your posts about Sims rather than making my own.
