Sims 2: Trill Spots Overlay Box

My initial instinct was to do a Trill skin, but I realized overlays had a lot of advantages, mostly people can use whatever skin they want and aren't stuck with my choices, also you can have Klingon/Trill or Andorian/Trill hybrids. So... I learned how to do overlays just for this.

Spots are from this skin, I considered doing options from the genesims skins as well but I wasn't too thrilled with the looks of those spots, so I just recolored those spots a few times.

There are four different colors, labeled Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta: A medium brown, a dark brown, a black, and a dark blue-grey. From left to right on the preview, Alpha on a tan default, Alpha on a light default, Beta on a medium default, Beta on a dark default, Gamma on the darkest of my Klingon skintones, Delta on the lightest of my Andorian skintones, and Delta on a skin the color of Pooklet's Hangfire. They're all wearing Castaway conversions so you can see the spots on the body.

My recommendation is Alpha for lighest skintone - Maxis tan, Beta for Maxis medium - Maxis dark, Gamma for anything darker, and Delta for aliens, but of course you can choose whatever, it just might take a bit of fiddling to get the spots to show up if your skin happens to be close to the color of the spots. Hopefully I included enough options...

Works for toddler-elder, both genders, the overlay box is a mannequin head with the Trill spots found in Misc > Dressers. Huge thanks to @themeasureofasim and @platinumaspiration for their tutorials (1) (2), because I was a bit lost at first and both of those helped me stumble through. Will I do another overlay box in the future? I have no idea. For now, though, I need to go back to something with less GUID fuckery.

Please let me know if there are any issues with this as this is my first overlay box!

Though she could never prove it, Ophelia was almost entirely sure Olive had been trying to get rid of her for weeks. Her previously cold and disinterested aunt had started spending more time with her, making special meals for her, handing her pills when she was sick. 

Sometimes, Ophelia would find the gas stove still lit, its fumes warping the air around it. Electrical cords would be placed inches away from the bathtub, just itching to be pushed into the water. The worst, though—the one that kept Ophelia up at night—was the new slab of stone that had appeared in their cemetery…and the seemingly Ophelia-sized hole waiting beneath it.

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.

I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.

I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.

It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.

"Less Goofy, More Sickly" Evil Witch Overlay Default replacement

As with the vampire overlay I got annoyed that the evil witch overlay was erasing some of the details in the face, then I decided to go with a much less obnoxious green since I was editing it anyway, then I threw in this facepaint conversion by @gryning for good measure.

Anyway, credits go to Gryning for the facepaint, @dreadpirate for the skin base (Party for One), and Trapping for the color used (Galaxy Quest). The sim in the preview has the darkest Maxis skintone (well, a default replacement for it anyway, but the colors are close enough).

I think this only works for teen and up (I don't use child witches and I didn't put in a child overlay) and it theoretically should be compatible with creaturefixes but I'm not 100% sure on how that all works so I could be wrong.
