I just joined Pixel Trade, and I've made all these crazy CAS Templates that have crazy features that you can't get elsewhere. So I thought I might have something special to offer as a founder maker.

I read the rules and everything I could find like ten times, and I'm still not sure if I'm doing this right. So give me a holler if I've screwed something up.

Essie isn't directly Milkshape edited, but she's built, in part from templates created that way. Her face is based off a sketch I did from my head, of a set of random facial characteristics as defined by a middle school genetics assignment on alleles and the flip of a coin.

So, her brows are closer together in the middle, her lips are closer to centered over the upper teeth (as they are in real life, this helps sim expressions look less scary), her ears stick out and have lobes, and her whole face is rounder and smoother than you could ever get with sliders.

As a result of these new templates, she's genetically prettier (but not as much as making an actual template just for her). Though you'll have to watch that wide jaw. If you tend to breed with a lot of manga, or otherwise narrow faced sims, taking her jaw a click less wide and/or less square may be a good idea for the sake of the offspring.

Also know that her face is two clicks higher than average, and her nose is three to four clicks higher. If you breed with long faced sims often, taking her whole face down a click or two will help prevent pig noses.

While we're in genetics land, it seems that pixel traders care very much about eye, hair and skintone:

Eyes: Gray Hair: Brown Skin: S2

Enough babble.

Essie Gordon: (Her existence in my world)

Essie uses foundation in her armpits. She shaves every day, but she still swears she can see those ugly little hairs, just under the skin.

She wants to be a movie star. But her degree is in math.

She lives outside of her means. She has a room in her apartment that she swore would be just for exercising, that is now filled with random furniture she buys compulsively. It does make it easier to redecorate for parties though...

Sometimes when she feels lonely she throws what she calls "Backwards Birthday Parties". Or if the back room needs cleaning. Either way, her friends all come away with plenty of whatnots and whathaveyous.

Her mother thinks she has Asberger's because she talks without thinking. You know that thing where you think of something that's almost funny, and it could be funny, but then you spit it out before it makes sense and it's not funny? In fact, it's downright offensive? That's Essie. And she wonders why she can't get another job.

Aspiration: Popularity

Personality: Quite neat Pretty outgoing Not active Pretty playful Quite nice

Likes: A strong, charismatic person. Dislikes: Piercings. Not classy.

("Quite" is more than "pretty" which is more than "not" ;) )

Additional personal challenges that I play:

(I've started building all my sims with these. Gives them more personality.)

Essie does not get jokes She wants to, but she can't. Whenever I catch some one telling her a joke, Essie immediately insults them or irritates them.

Essie buys too much crap She has to buy something new every day I play her.

Essie give away her crap With her sense of humor, she's lucky she's so generous. If she starts to lose a friend, the friend gets a gift from the room of crap.

In case you want her to look more like my game, the most important bit of face cc are mine, and you can find them on my MTS. (Brows, Lips) The hair can be found at Garden of Shadows. Though I edited out the headband myself. Sorry I can't find it right this second.
