Random elf family portrait

They look like one big happy family.

Wow.

Aww. Did you know who was whose child at the time?

Ohhhh yes. I had a whole complicated scheme set up for creating Sims in CAS so that the genes would be realistic.

That's how elves such as Osh's parents or Shus's parents have pictures in the bio pages even though I never really "created" their Sims. I created their Sims in CAS, took their pictures, made their children with the pacifier, then deleted them within CAS. So Osh is technically a 2nd gen Sim himself.

I did the same thing with Osh's wife -- since I knew she was dead, I only created her CAS long enough to make Rua and Paul babies with Osh.

The only reason I didn't do that with Perala was that I only had 8 slots in CAS, so I couldn't create her two kids inside of CAS. I had to wait and make her have babies in-game. I may still have her Sim hanging around.

Meryt this lady is actually a dude.

Oops that's supposed to be Cathal. I think I got his Sim ID switched with his character ID. His wife is in there now too. (Gog's sister.)

Wow she was scary looking. I just saw Sela's great grandparents. The lady looks gaelic. But why did you create them will they be important?

No, it's like I was just talking about: I only created them in CAS so that Rimyea would end up with more genetic variety.

But if you created them in CAS, how come they have SimPE portraits? *is confused*

They aren't SimPE portraits. They're screenshots from CAS. I just painted over the brick texture with black.

Ooooh. Yes, now that I think about it, they do look like any Sim does in CAS -- namely, startled and wide-eyed and deer-like.

How does a man earn himself the title, "short flipper"?

Or, for that matter, "Tryggve Tinkle-bell". I would LOVE to know the origins of THAT one.

Heh. I wonder how many people are in a position to know whether or not he really does have a "short flipper".

Most Old Norse bynames are rather more insulting than not. They may be ironic too -- for all we know, Njal Bareballs has such a dense thicket that his balls have never before been seen.

I don't have stories for all of them. I'm sure I could retroactively come up with something if the story ever demanded it. Would be the sort of thing Gwynn could help me with. "What a handsome name! What does it mean?"

I can answer that. ^^ It's the Gypsy Hair by SussisSoGoodSims.

Thank you, Ann! You came through for me again. I never would have remembered!
