My Sims Skins

[BettyNewbie]

As some of you may already know, I'm a creator of Sims 1 custom content. My site's right here:

Up until recently, my primary focus has been on making objects. But, now, I can make custom Sims (or skins, as the community calls them), so I'm gonna share my very first ones -- Daria Morgendorffer, Jane Lane, and Trent Lane.





Comparison:




Here's all of the outfits I made for the three of them:

These are very good, Betty. 

Nice to see Daria in different clothes.  Of course, your Sims have the characters a few years older than their cartoon incarnations.

These look good Betty. How do you make them? I've not played the game before then.

Thanks, Tim.

Part of that is due to the limitations of Sims 1. Unlike Sims 2-later, there isn't a teenage or young adult life stage in Sims 1, so most people make their teen characters as adults.

However, you are correct that my Sim versions of these characters are supposed to be a little older than their cartoon counterparts. I'd put Daria and Jane at 22 and Trent at 27.

Kinda tough to explain for someone who has no familiarity with the game, lol. This is a decent (if very old) guide if you want to give it a read.



Because, I'm in love with Daria/Trent, I made a bunch of pics of them while playing around in SimPose.

No longer teens, but young adults.

Well, just Daria and Jane -- Trent was already a young adult in the show.

A big reason why I've aged them up a little is, of course, Daria/Trent. As much as I love them together, they do have a 5 year age gap, so they wouldn't have really worked when Daria was still a teenager. But, age her up into her 20s, and the age gap matters less. The difference between a 22 and a 27 year old is far less than that between a 17 and a 22 year old.

Yeah, by making her 22, Daria is now of legal age.
