#firends v2

[moyokeansimblr]

Yesterday I watched a ts3 CAS video on youtube and it made me want to download heaps of CC so I racked my brain for a good excuse. I love making male sims in all the games so I originally thought of just making a few boys to live together.

Then it hit me:

Why don't I reboot my favorite household I ever made in ts3? They were a never-aging band called the FirEnds and I loved them. I played them constantly between 2012-2014, so I thought it could be fun to give them 2022 CC looks especially since I have no remaining CC left from that era of time. Unfortunately that means I can't do before & after pics although I'll throw in the only screenie I still have of all 4 of them. I never took screenshots back then, sadly.

Okay are you ready? Yeah I know it shows absolutely nothing 👍

They didn't even have CC skin because I made them at a time when I had no CC. Then they somehow ended up like this. But anyways let's get on to their 2022 reboots, shall we? I gave them CC skin but made no other changes to their faces. They were all covered in tattoos which I removed so that I have fresh canvases to tat up during play. I don't have very much male CC yet so I'll likely tweak them even more as I go.

Get ready for questionable names, long hair, and eyeliner. Had to keep them true to their 2012-2014 selves. I did my best to dress them the way they would have back then.

✨✨✨

Name: Khristian Villareal

Sexuality: Undefined

Khristian is the band's bassist and besides that only ever worked part-time jobs. He's had a few girlfriends but nothing serious. He likes nerdy things, dogs, and brunettes. He is a weird guy in the best type of way. Others often find him hard to understand because he spends most of his time in his own world.

🎮

Name: Manchester Hillguard

Sexuality: Straight

Manchester is the band's guitarist, but he is also a solo Vocal Legend. He has a preference for ultra-glam, big-busted blondes and would be a Romance aspiration were this sims 2. He's the most masculine of the group and sometimes isn't the most friendly. He cares deeply about his appearance and it's canon that he may have had an ED in the past.

💋

Name: Adrian Mistine

Sexuality: Gay

Adrian is the band's drummer but also a World-Renowned Surgeon! He is extremely smart but tends to dumb himself down to match everyone around him. He's naturally blonde but has had every color and style hair imaginable. He's the only one of the 4 who had any significant long-term relationships. He fluctuates between a sort of muted-goth aesthetic and hot-pink drag queen. Those around him would describe him as having the biggest heart ever.

🌷

Name: Nicky Holmstedt

Sexuality: Does it matter if nobody ever wants him?

Nicky is the band's keyboardist and occasionally sells paintings on the side. Real jobs and actually working isn't his thing. Nicky started out with an aesthetic closer to Khristian's however as Adrian is the only person to actually understand him (his words, not mine), overtime he began mimicking Adrian's style and then put his own spin on it. He's had absolutely terrible luck with women. He smokes. He comfort eats. He likes cats. If sims had mental illness he'd be depressed.

🦇

It took me way too long to do this so I don't get to actually play tonight 😓 Tomorrow I'm going to make them potential partners to live in the world and then I think send them to university right away as opposed to at the very end like I did with their 2012-2014 equivalents. These 4 sims are clones of the originals so they have no relationships, no skills, no progress. However I do intend to take them down similar or identical paths to how they were. It's just their old save was a complete mess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @phantomwalker-246 !! Hope you like it :P 💜🧡💛💚💙🖤

Gave all 4 of the boys new clothes so they could all be in some pictures.

But although I love all of them, I am partial to Adrian and Nicky.

Meanwhile, Nicky is working on his street art skill. It's just on the sidewalk outside their house at the moment. He's not brave enough to do it in a public place just yet.

It's looking nice so far!

[moyokeansimblr]

Well it only took me what like a week? But I finished sorting, deleting & merging my ts3 CC. 🥳 I couldn't resist taking some pictures of Adrian and Nicky with some of the new stuff. As I used to not like "irl" stuff in my games I never had any like, pride themed stuff or stuff with English letters.

Even though they're not dating. Nicky probably would do because he's Problematic™ but Adrian is actually gay and has respect for himself, and for Nicky. But they're best friends anyways so he's with Spooky platonically.

I also gave poses a try. They're somehow much easier and much more confusing than ts2 poses at the exact same time. And I downloaded like 30+ more reshade/gshade presets.

So I got this mod thinking it'd incentivize me to actually put socks on my sims, and I still forgot! So everyone is barefoot 😅Ah well.

[moyokeansimblr]

I love how when sims are showing another sim a video on their phone they also look down at it sometimes.

[moyokeansimblr]

Nice weather for a jog 'round town.

[moyokeansimblr]

All Adrian is doing is looking out the window, but this just still looks so creepy.

[moyokeansimblr]

Manchester's trying to be cool.

[moyokeansimblr]

So serious.

[moyokeansimblr]

Khristian giving me the most annoyed look ever when he's literally the one who wanted to do laundry. I'm just doing what you asked!

[moyokeansimblr]

Since the boys can't afford to go to University right now Adrian is looking for a job instead.

I use the Jobs Overhaul mod so the best available option today is Journalism. Adrian's LTW is Medical but this is fine for now. Especially since Aging is turned off so it doesn't really matter.

Off to apply, I hope he'll get an interview!

Hopefully I'll remember!

[moyokeansimblr]

After waking up on day 2 of life, Adrian decided to apply everyone to University.

Jk. Part time jobs instead? I don't want to be cheaty. No uni yet.

[moyokeansimblr]

I guess that shows how little I play with bunkbeds that I've never seen this want before. Sadly, Nicky already has the bottom bunk and I don't know that he can talk the others into giving up the top.

Thank you that is so helpful.

Meanwhile, Nicky stole Adrian's car to go get his fortune told.

Oh by the way the boys live in Saffron Bay because it has everything I want.
