Maxis Taste Dare 008

It's been a while since I last participated in one of these dares, but I wasn't able to finish my version of the Beaker's lot on time and I don't think I could handle another project like an asylum challenge at the moment.

So... it's makeover time! Again!

This time, we had to give a makeover to the Summerdream family from Veronaville (aka the elf/fairy family with a silly love for black lipstick and the most annoying house ever designed).

Because they are supposed to be fairies, I decided to follow that path for my entry. It took me a while to find the right custom content, and I actually had to spend an hour sorting through Saphire Sims, by far the most complicated sim site I've ever found (between the odd/random categories and the thousands of blinking pics on each creator's signatures, it is easy to get lost in there).

I also tried to keep their original genes intact (aka same skin, hair and eye colours) and I think I succeeded, expect in the case of Puck (but there's a reason for that as you'll soon see).

Anyway, here are the pictures:




Titania - Spring


Bottom - Summer


Oberon - Fall


Puck - Winter

i dunno if i wanna simpe them to actual pictures or put them as paintings my sims can paint.

what do you suggest?

Both are good options. If they are paintings, you won't have to wait until a sim with a high enough skill can paint a cusmtom picture. And if you use them as easel options, you can earn money and skill points.

Though I think you'll need to crop/resize the pictures for the easel options.
