Penumbra in Sims 3

[eiahmon]

Sims are done!

From left to right: Red, Phillip, Dr. Eminiss, Howard, Clarence, and Amabel. Clarence is a clone of Phillip, and I then tweaked his features and changed the colors of his clothes. Howard and Phillip are father/son in the game, and it was a real fun time getting that to work, with their ages and all. They're both adults, and the game will not allow parent/child relationships between sims that are the same age or close to the same age. I had to start Phillip off as a teenager, and use a cheat to force his age transition to young adult, and then again to adult. I tore the internet apart looking for winter gear for Phillip and found nothing. I'll probably have to wait until Maxis and EA come out with a Seasons expansion.



Killing Red. It took two tries.



I had no clear picture in my head for Dr. Eminiss when I went into Create-a-Sim, so I decided to just look around in the premade sims and see if one struck my fancy. I then altered my chosen sim.



It gets funny (at least for me) when you see what Dr. Eminiss started out as.

The ground level of the lot. I opted to make it a wild place with trees, weeds, and sinkholes.



The lot is now being playtested, and I've already had to remove the pushable bookshelves from the library, since they didn't work. I also took out the hidden door, because once it was found, it no longer blended in with the wall, and it looked like crap. I also took out the tomb room marker from Howard's room, since it served no purpose once the room was found. I left the tomb objects on the Storage area for now, and if I play for a while with no problem, then my friend Jikkuri is going to playtest it further. If either one of us have any trouble, I'll take out all the tomb objects before releasing the lot.
