Essence of a Sim Challenge
by @trumpets0ng
[rules under the cut]
@ladybugsimblr Tagged me for this. The rules to this challenge is is exactly how I makeover premades. Only addition is I like to take their traits and aspirations into consideration to make them look more how they should since most premades look nothing like their personalities. I also rarely mess with their faces, but I did this time around. Anyway, I’ve made over all the base game folks and quite a bit through Discover University. So, for this challenge, I chose sims that I usually ignore and have NEVER considered remaking: the mermaids!
Nalani is cute how she is, but like many premades, I think she has on too much makeup. Unless you’re Amina, it’s too hot for all that in the islands lol. I also wanted to give her a more youthful, cheerful appearance as her traits say she is.
For the guy, my goal was to see if I could make him remotely cute because I think he is hideous! I rotated his eyes a little more toward normal and brought them in just a tad. Also? I think island dudes need hair that blows in the wind lol.
The one in blue I always thought was cute enough. I just added skin details and whipable hair lol. (I hate that hair she came with!)
For the evil mermaid, I had the same goal as the guy. Can I make her look decent? (I forgot to take a before pic, but y’all know what she looks like lol) I did similar things to her, and I think she looks aight now lol.
@maladi777 You’re up!
EA has made some unfortunate design/fashion choices for their pre-made sims & townies. We’ve all made them over at some point or another, but often they come out looking very, very different from their original conception.
This challenge is to make over pre-made sims with only subtle changes & tweaks, so that they look like a better version of themselves instead of someone else entirely.
The only major rule, is to keep the “essence” of the sim’s being. This means their racial and/or ethnic features, and overall body type. (i.e. don’t make fat sims thin, curvy sims straight bodied, make androgynous sims masc/fem, straighten natural sims hair, westernize/anglicize sims of color, etc.) You can tweak these things and change spacing/proportions, but not erase them outright.
Feel free to change hair their lengths, styles, and fashion ‘til you hearts content! You can change skins, but only to a comparable color. (EA’s skins still suck after all!)

List of fucky things in the Six Thatchers (Sherlock 04x01)
You should know that this is going to be a long post, so read all the way if you want. This is just a thread of fucky things/parallels/loose ends/inconsistencies that are questioned in TST (arranged according to appearance). Your ideas, opinions, and additions are of course welcome.
1. So is it really Alicia or Elizabeth (Smallwood)? Which one?
2. Could be Mycroft or Mark saying this. So what is the truth, Mycroft? WHAT IS IT?
3. THE CODE NAMES (There’s Dale Pike) (Love = Norbury) x
4. Does the “back on terra firma” tweet mean that Sherlock has been tweeting ever since before?? But we don’t see him tweeting in the previous episodes and in any episodes after TST...
Because it’s still morning, still A.M. even after the tarmac scene, Sherlock’s TAB MP in the plane, and after seeing the doctor. Didn’t know the morning had so many hours in it.
5. Out of character Sherlock?
Staying Alive?
6. Double meaning. Can mean the footage on CAM and THE LOST SPECIAL? Or @the-missing-footage you know... ...... ... The episode we’ve all been waiting for. GIVE US THE REAL VERSION MOFTISS Also, the Picadilly Circus screens or glitches on BBC??
7. Let’s go through the script (continued from 6)
“No need to go to the trouble of getting some sort of official pardon. You're off the hook, Mr Holmes. You're home and dry.”
“OK, cheers.”
“Obviously, there's unfinished business.”
8. “You also say you know what he's going to do next. What does that mean? Perhaps that's all there is to it. Perhaps he was just trying to frighten you.
No, no, he would never be that disappointing. He's planned something, something long-term. Something that would take effect if he never made it off that rooftop alive” Yeah, yeah we get it. The Eurus thing is long-term plan right?
9. WE ARE PLAYING AN ARG
10. “Appointment In Samarra. I'm sorry?” tf was the point of the appointment in Samarra? Mary planned to die. It’s not her who had an appointment.
11. THIS LINE MIGHT BE ABOUT THE FUCKY ADVERTISMENTS?
12. Watson’s blog is typing into a static image. Why??? (don’t tell me that this was NOT intentional)
“And we’re back! Sorry I haven’t updated the blog for such a long time but things really have been very busy. You’ll have seen on the news about how Sherlock recovered the Mona Lisa. He described it as “an utterly dreary affair” and was much more interested in the the case of a missing horseshoe and how it was connected to a bright blue deckchair on Brighton beach.I’ll try to write everything up when I get a chance but it’s not been missing portraits and horseshoes that have taken up my time.I’m going to be a dad.I mean, I thought I’d spent the last few years being a Dad to Sherlock, but it really doesn’t compare. The baby runs all of our lives. Maybe not THAT different to [….] I’ve fought in two wars, my best friend once faked his own death but none of that [….] terrifying and amazing and the biggest adventure I’ve been on.” x
13. When Sherlock realized he’s gay
14. ALSO, JOHN, THE DOCTOR, WHOSE WIFE IS GOING INTO LABOR, IS THE ONE DRIVING THE CAR. WHY??
15. The baby is not real. A disguise? It’s literally on the wall.
16. Parallels to Redbeard and Eurus
17. Molly saying this? Out of context? (You look sad when you think he can’t see you). Molly knows.
18. Sherlock asks??
19. The red-haired girl had the paper in her hands before she even saw John. This is really a plan (around 9:57)
20. Moftiss, you know what to do.
21. Sherlock saying “Mr and Mrs Welsborough, I really am most terribly sorry to hear about your daughter.” when he knew it was a son.
22. So it just happened to be a coincidence that Sherlock noticed and it’s related to Mary and Redbeard and Churros ok....
23. Ever been into a magic room?
24. Remember the moles? Why are they we playing this game again?
Intuitions are not to be ignored, John. Besides, I have the strangest feeling...
25. Sherlock asked about Moriarty to Mycroft. But Mycorft already had Moriarty’s folder on his desk prior to the question. Why? (until 22:10)
26. What’s so significant about the Black Pearl??
“..and had latterly shown some interest in tracking down the Black Pearl of the Borgias, which is still missing, by the way, in case you feel like applying yourself to something practical. It's a pearl - get another one. There's something important about this. I'm sure. Maybe it's Moriarty. Maybe it's not.”
27. So.... what’s with these lines? Premonitions? We can calculate what’s going to happen? Does this sound familiar?
“What we call premonition is just movement of the web. If you could attenuate to every strand of quivering data, the future would be entirely calculable.
As inevitable as mathematics.
Appointment In Samarra. I'm sorry?”
28. Rewriting stories.
“Appointment In Samarra. I'm sorry? The merchant who can't outrun Death. You always hated that story as a child. Less keen on predestination back then.
I'm not sure I like it now.
You wrote your own version, as I remember. Appointment In Sumatra.”
29. MOOD: “Keep me informed. Of what? Absolutely no idea.”
30. “AMMO!”
31. And of course, Arwel’s glowing skull. Because he likes it to glow, right?
32. GIVE US THE BORGIA BLACK PEARL TRAIL STORY
“ Well, Interpol think the Borgia Pearl trail leads back to London, so... The Borgia Pearl? T
hey still after that, are they?”
33. THE CHESSBOARD. IN THE MIDDLE. Framed by the chair. Zoom in to see it. CHESS. promo pic? we’re playing a game?
34. wax bust. This transition.
35. Is this us? TJLC? (you can’t kill an idea, can you? not once it’s made its home right... there) or is it John confessing his feelings? idk?
36. John smelled Lestrade right after “No, he's got a lunch date with a brunette forensic officer that he doesn't want to be late for [...] The right sleeve of your jacket, plus the formaldehyde mixed with your cologne and your complete inability to stop looking at your watch.”
He getting a whiff of Sherlock’s kink or
37. THESE LINES ARE SAID WHILE THE SCENE SHOWS A TEXT. THE TIMING IS PERFECT.
“Trust me, though, she's not right for you.
What?
She's not the one.” (because The Woman is gay)
38. “I LIKE YOU”
“He's not moving.
He's thinking.
He's really not moving.
Slow but sure, John, not dissimilar to yourself.
You just like this dog, don't you?
Well, I like you.”
39. Sherlock saying these lines. Moftiss, say it to my face: MORIARTY is not dead.
“This is it, though. This is the one, I can feel it.
Not Moriarty?
It has to be him. It's too bizarre, it's too baroque. It's designed to beguile me, tease me and lure me in.”
40. THE TRANSITION/FRAMES OF THIS SCENE
41. ANNND THE TRANSITION HERE AGAIN. Mary and John talking on their bed and... the dialogue and...
42. THE BLACK PEARL. AGAIN.
43. Is it normal to talk about the Exorcist and 666 and your baby?
44. Sherlock popped out of nowhere
45. the pool scene is about Eurus and redbeard? ok
46. Who is the missing one???
Also, the chessboard again??? Notice it in the middle. ^ RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
47. But did the past matter? No it did not. (For Mary, it was heavily stressed that she did not care about her past).Then why this? What about Rosie and John?
“ Sorry, no, no, because we... we were family.
Families fall out. The memory stick is the easiest way to track you down. You're the only other survivor, it must be you that he wants, and he's already killed looking for the Thatcher bust.
Well, he's just trying to find me. He survived, that's all that matters”
48. Both Mycroft and Mary said the line “the dragon-slayer” about Sherlock...
49. Mycroft: “ Oh, good, I love an acronym. All the best secret societies have them.”
T - J - L - C
50. Could be both Mycroft and Mark talking. No LOOSE ENDS.
51. “ In a way? So many lies.
I'm so sorry. And I don't just mean you.
What?
Alex, Gabriel, Ajay...
You're R? Rosamund? Rosamund Mary.”
So... WHAT are the OTHER lies?
52. “ I always liked Mary.
Yeah, me too. I used to.” Something fucky about Mary again.
53. Mary and John look at each other then the kid drops the tea. What. is the meaning.
54. One seat apart? Married couple, right. Also, the plane John = little girl
55. Mary while going to the baby: “ I'm coming, darling. Mummy's coming.Oh, what are you doing? What are you doing? Come here.”
THIS SCENE IS JUST SO RICH. JOHN TEXTING SOMEONE.
Background noise: Rosie is crying then we see John texting
Background noise: Mary is shushing the child, while the other one sends texts.
Why?
56. Look at that “stopping” on the left hand corner of the frame. John is ending the texting now.
57. The first time we see Sherlock almost dying (and he knows it) but does not say “John!” (unlike when he got shot or during TRF)
58. John’s fourth wall break
59. WHY, MARY? FOR WHAT REASON?
60.
When a person dies in a case:
John: CALL A NURSE! *takes care of the person*
When Sherlock dies during TRF:
John: *checks pulse* *tries to see other signs if SH is alive or dead*
When Mary gets shot:
John, the DOCTOR : *listens to the speech* MARY MARYYY MARRYYYYY
61. THINGS ON THE REFRIGERATOR
62. The balloon
63. Subtext? It’s still about SH, isn’t it?
64. AND OF COURSE, THE DVDs
65. THIS TRANSITION feels like “i’m watching you”
66. Mary: “ If you are watching this, I'm probably dead. I hope I can have an ordinary life but who knows? [...] When I'm... gone, IF I'm gone... I need you to do something for me.'
That “probably” and “when I’m gone” to “IF” I’m gone” sounds to me like this is really all a plan.
67. So.... what was the content of John’s letter???
68. THIS.
“ 'When does the path we walk on lock around our feet? When does the road become a river with only one destination?' 'Death waits for us all in Samarra. But can Samarra be avoided?'”
So it’s only about Eurus and Redbeard, right?? lol ok
69. and of course... The GO TO HELL line. Was she saying something important or is she just evil? Think.
Bonus: Americanism: “Awesome, isn't it?”
If you read it this far, congratulations! Thank you for reading all the way. Go for your additions, questions, analyses. This is just a rough list of things that are fucky. Not meaning to interpret anything though (but some happened while I was making this post).
