Hey! If all dino's would be the size of a golden retriever, which one would you pick as emotional support animal?

im bending the rules a teensy bit here and picking a dino thats smaller than a golden retriever in the first place. my pick for an emotional support dino would prolly be a drepanosaurus.

theyre aboreal and cling to trees normally so i think i could get one to cling to my shirt so i could carry it around that way. maybe id even put mine on my back so it could maybe help me correct my shrimp posture with its body weight.

the only major downsides for me is that theyre insectivores and their sharp claws. id have to stock up on bandaids and maybe pay someone to feed my drepanosaurus for me.

valerie redesign...we talked ab it a bit but i would love to hear more...

,valerie (and catfolk) are.... one of the redesigns who i have worked on the LEAST

i have decided that they arent werewolves, at least. i really like grouping multiple "types" of monster together - because i don't actually want ANY one monster to truly be what its mythology suggested it to be. the words "werewolf" or "mermaid" are painted onto them, borrowed from the myths that exist outside of those monsters, because theyre the closest comparison and easiest word to loan to providing a name. this is also why i rather like how they all have multiple different names, all referring to the Same Thing, and none of them are even their real name, which is what they give to themselves and call themselves (and even this changes, based upon which of their languages they're using!)

but i do like the idea of having werewolves, catfolk, and humans all be this group of VERY similar sapients, enough to vaguely blend together in lots of various cultures - but having the differences between them be stark and wild enough that once you get to know them, you can easily tell them apart.

catfolk, i think i'm going to go for - they're a type of feline that adapted to an aboreal lifestyle roughly convergent on primates. at a distance, they probably look a lot similar to tamarins or marmosets, just similar enough to both cats and primates to REALLY throw someone off if they're looking at them from a distance.

i miiiight also make them more aboreal in nature, compared to the other sapients, trending more towards scurrying around quadrupedally on the ground and having very awkward and facilitative bipedal gaits. they're most comfortable off of the ground, where they can hold onto stuff with their feet and tails (which i'd have to doublecheck on, but potentially evolved to be prehensile, working a lot like spider monkey tails)

for this, i might also make them a lot smaller than everyone else? i dont feel like i have a lot of small redesigns - and i like having catfolk kind of call back to things like the fair folk or the little people, as small not-humans who you should be kind to lest they wreck your shit.

the face might be where i'm most torn on catfolk - we already DO know what a cat that has a human-like face would look like! and we know because we bred them to look like that, pushing for that same neoteny in brachycephalic cats that us humans also obtained in comparison to our great ape cousins

( behold, A MAN )

but i'm not sure. humans seem to have obtained it because we focused less on our jaws and more on our larger brains. while this would certainly help explain how catfolk achieved their sapience and make sense with their anatomy, it is also fairly tempting to draw comparisons to clouded leopards, starting first with chasing prey up trees and pursuing other arboreal prey, which i could then use to give catfolk the nice fangs and more typical feline profile as we would expect.

but i may also make this entirely a feature of their past. that their ancestors has the more typical feline profile, but once they formed a niche in the trees, they needed larger brains to be able to navigate through the branches and 3d space in a far more complicated way, their eyes also getting larger as they focused more on vision to do so, which reduced their jaws, so they then bridged over to tools to accommodate for that reduced jaw power, which made their brains then grow bigger, and so on and so forth.

i do know ill likely keep their protractable claws, but i will adjust their hands to be... weird.... cat-hands..... they may keep their beans, but i also think they may entirely lose them, favoring dexterity over the need to walk silently. they'd also absolutely be using their tail as a fifth limb, which absolutely would be useful for a quadrupedal scurry. very whiskery too, as i can easily see them having things like arm-whiskers like squirrels do, to also be able to navigate through the trees. and yeah, they would have round pupils, since slitted pupils wouldnt be any use to them. i think they actually might be the fuzziest of all the redesigns, even if they might still end up with some bald patches just to deal with heat and such.

i think the biggest loss would just be that valerie can't be purple and her dad can't be blue, though coach could absolutely retain a tawny color with stripes. spots could also be fairly common as well, and maybe even some domestic cat colors too? i'd have to ponder over it.

Hello! I was wondering what presets do you use on your sims' eyes? theyre so aborable!

Hi sweetie! I don't use any eye presets! Just a mod that unlocks additional base game options! It's called the More CAS presets mod! :o)

when Raven first appeared around Metropolis, she was scrappy and a bit scared??? heres this fkig shivvering child holding up a truck before it landed on this mother and child

from the look on her face tho, she obviously didnt know shecould do that

and neither did Superman when he caught up with her

originally about to berate her about leaving 'their spot' ((she knows clark is superman but sometimes stuff happens when theyre out so they set up a waypoint that raven goes to when clark is done saving the city for the moment))

its usually set up far away from the conflict but somehow reached ot to where raven lay waiting

when clark finally got to her, she was still holding the truck and crying, knees looking as if theyre abor to buckle but raven kept her drip on the automobile

later on that week, clark lets her rest and all that but then wants to see the reach of her abilities ((shes obviously not kryptonian))

speed, strength, seems to absorb magic ((clark makes a mental note to look into this)), and the ability to withstand grand amounts of heat ((needs to be tested more/talk to firestorm))

weird combination of abilities, especially with magic ((hes so curious)) but they talk long and hard on how the future for them is to go

Clark knows he wont be able to keep her from helping people, but he wants to set up rules

the biggest being: dint be afraid to call for help

after that, years go by and Ravens making a name for herself when she accidently stumbles upon a group of ragtag teenage boys
