WIP #2 - CONTEST CLOSED

I am amazed at the outpouring of support (and permission to use sims) that I've received since I started sending out messages.  There are a few people who never replied (and thus their sims are ineligible) but the truly amazing part is that only one simmer has declined so far, as is their absolute right, so let's have no messages on this post saying anything negative about whoever it was - I shall never reveal who the simmer was!  In just a short time this project went from a hopeful idea to something that is quickly becoming a reality.  In fact, I have received so many permissions that if I receive just five more permissions, I'll have 140 sims that I can technically go ahead with.  Unfortunately, this would be using every single one of my own born in game and created sims from my Saved Sims folder (aside from my fugs!), making the templates very Izza's-sims-heavy and in my opinion unbalanced.  I am still waiting on quite a few replies, so hopefully this will not a problem.

If I haven't received any positive replies in the next few days, I will be asking those of you who have expressed a willingness to do so to make some exclusive faces to help even out the balance and throwing open the doors for submissions from any interested parties who haven't yet been asked to participate in the project.  I have already added a couple of faces from those few simmers who said I can have free reign with their sims - I will be notifying them shortly and making sure there are no objections.  Regardless, I hope to have a finalized list by late next week and that is when the really boring SimPE work will begin!

Now for the fun part of this post.  Due to only having a couple of sims to prepare in Bodyshop for template readiness today, I did a nice little breeding project in Create-a-Sim.  What's the breeding project all about, you ask?  It's best I know which faces breed well together beforehand so that I can easily decide which templates belong together in a set.

Why not have a contest??!!

( I'm serious - guess the parent to win an advance copy of Set 1! )
