Here's a little surprise due to the Broke Legacy Anniversary ^^.

It's also the most complicated custom content I've "created" so far. It's actually a hack! :D

A couple weeks ago, I found some amazing alien skin tones at MTS2. Unlike most alien skins I've found, these not only feature new colors, but alien features too! They include odd marks on the face, three bellybuttons, etc. They really look out of Sim!World :P.

I didn't want to convert them to defaults for my game, because that would modify the appearance of my "Graslaxian Sims" like Helena and Calvin. How could I explain if they suddenly turned blue?!

So, I decided that the best way to have blue, green and red aliens in my game is to create a new set of P.Technicians. I followed fwiffo's tutorial at MTS2 and guess what? It worked! I was so happy that I created a second set of P. Technicians, based on my Graslaxian Sims ^^. Remember how Calvin and Hobbes became P.T.'s in my story? Well, now they can really abduct your sims in your game!









Multiple Pollination Technicians: Polychromatic Edition

This is the set I'm currently using in my game. It includes three aliens created with the Extreme Skins (Galaxy Explorers) by Astiees, plus Hobbes Broke, also known as P.T. 439 (in my Legacy he's still a P.T.).

Let's take a look at the P.T. in this set:




Meet Pollination Technician 11. You might recognize his face, right?
Yup, it's good old P.T. 9 Smith from Strangetown. I just made his nose a little bit larger and tweaked his eyebrows a bit.
I want more alien-like sims in my game, so you can't go wrong with him as a template.
This P.T. has brown hair.




This is P.T. 65
She has the same template as Helena Broke's mommy (P.T. 14 from the Multi PT Hack).
She also has red hair.




This is P.T. 916.
She has Stella Terrano's face.
She's a blonde.




Finally, this is P.T. 493. His Sim!Earth name is Hobbes Broke.
Although he's showing my custom default alien skin, his spawn will have your default skin and eyes (or just the Maxis ones if you don't have CC).
He has black hair.

Instructions: Unzip the contents of this file on your download's folder. It works with all EPs up to FreeTime. These P.T. were created base game content, so they should work with just the Base Game.

IMPORTANT! You must download the three alien skins from MTS2 for this set to work! Otherwise, your alien sims will be born with your default S2 skin!:

Extreme Skins "Galaxy Explorers" (Alien Species) by astiees

EDIT (May 13th, 2008): Because the PTs in this set were created with custom skins and not the default alien skin, there's a high chance you might suffer from a stupid Maxis bug that prevents your "normal" or custom skinned sims from displaying their default alien eyes correctly.

In other words, any alien baby born from these PTs will lack eyes (and look creppy too!). If you've read my legacy since the beginning, I also had this issue when Wanda was born (she had "grey" eyes instead of her alien ones).

Fortunately, there is a fix for this bug. Get Theo's UNLOCK ALIEN EYES FOR ALL SKINTONES MOD from this link and place it in your download's folder.

If you have trouble opening a the 7z file, I uploaded the fix as a zip HERE.



I also suggest you get some alien contacts for your teen aliens. This is a well known Maxis glitch that has always irritated me to no end. All my alien sims have been forced to use contacts during their teen years. Otherwise, their eyes look very creepy at that age. The eyes go back to normal when they become adults, though.

Here are some pics of the spawn of these P.T's when I tested it on a clean neighborhood.




Here's our Guinea pig, Mr. Hot Blond Downtownie from Nightlife.




Here's HotBlond during his abduction :P. I was finally able to re-create them in my game!




Here's HotBlond giving birth to his alien daughter, Gamma.








During this experiment, HotBlond gave birth to three girls and a set of twin girls.

Multiple Pollination Technicians: Graslaxian Edition





This is the set I'm gonna use in my Twin Town neighborhoods. It includes four aliens, based on four of my Broke Alien Sims. There's NO custom content in this set, so your alien spawn will show the default alien skin you have installed in your PC, or just the Maxis one.

Let's take a look at the P.T. in this set:




This is P.T. 493, also known as Hobbes Broke.
He has black hair.




This is P.T. 101, also known as Helena Summerdream.
She has red hair.




This is P.T. 93, also known as Calvin Broke.
To keep the genetic variety, this P.T. has brown hair.




Finally, this is P.T. 4367, also known as Cosmo Broke.
If he hadn't fallen in love with Bella during his teen years, he might had spent the rest of his life as a P.T.
He's a blond.

Instructions : Unzip the contents of this file on your download's folder. It works with all EPs up to FreeTime. These P.T. have base game content, so they should work with just the Base Game.

Once again, I suggest you get some alien contacts for your teen aliens. This is a well known Maxis glitch that has always irritated me to no end. All my alien sims have been forced to use contacts during their teen years. Otherwise, their eyes look very creepy at that age. The eyes go back to normal when they become adults, though.

Here are some pics of the spawn of these P.T's when I tested it on a clean neighborhood.




Here's our Guinea pig, Mr. Hot Blond Downtownie from Nightlife.




During this experiment, HotBlond gave birth to two boys, one girl and a set of twins (boy and girl).
