Some of you in the community will already know something about this, but since I won't be posting as much for a little while I thought an explanation was in order...
I'm working on a very big project right now. Bigger than my townie name replacement project and I'm hoping to get it out in time for Christmas (because it's quite a mammoth task and I know how long it will take me even though I'm giving up most of my free time to work on it.) As this year's Christmas gift to the entire community, so to speak. Since I set myself a precedent last year with the townie names being released for Christmas and all....
What is it going to be?
Default Replacement Face Templates. Five complete sets including alien and elf templates. Yup - five! That's 140 different faces.
It will feature the faces of many "famous" and "favourite" sims from a variety of simmers across the community as well as the possibility of a few new "exclusive" faces by popular creators. There will be some of my own sims featured too. As there will be five options for each face template (eg. 5 different options for face 1), these will also be available for download individually for those who want to mix and match. They will be available as complete sets also.
The first round of emails and messages to creators have gone out. I am only using the sims of those simmers who have given me permission. Rest assured that if you've received an email and haven't replied one way or the other, I will not use your sim.
If you haven't been asked whether I can use a sim of yours, do not be alarmed or feel hurt. I am sending emails asking permission in batches and I haven't asked everybody I want to ask yet! I definitely haven't reached 140 sims I'm allowed to use yet either, so if you hear from me, don't be surprised...
If I don't reach my target quota of other people's sims, the project will go ahead as planned. I have plenty of sims of my own and can make some new faces if I have to! There are also a few lovely creators who have said I can have the use of any and all of their sims I'd like, but hopefully I won't have to do that - for diversity's sake!
Work is already underway. I've already got most of the faces I'm allowed to use (so far) past the first stage of the creation process. New emails will be out in a couple of days. Now I play the waiting game, except of course I have plenty of time to test! About the most fun part of this project is the breeding project - breeding sims I know I'm allowed to use to see what results! Later on, I can use those results as a nice pictorial guide to "How Face 3 breeds with Face 7" or some such...
So, yeah... now you know, in case my journal looks a little deserted for a little while....
