Okay, this here is my first attempt at creating a Sim based upon an actual character from a fandom (in this case, the manga/anime called
One Piece). I hope you all won't be too hard on me. I did not create any of the custom content that this Sim carries, but I do thank the creators profusely for their contributions to this Sim. A quick picture:
Now that that's out of the way, here are a couple of things you should know...
1. His hair does stick out of the front of the cowboy hat (if you lok carefully at the Bodyshop head picture, you'll be able to see it), but I was unable to find any such hat that would not do this with this particular hair style (which was perfect for this creation), so I hoped that by making his hat black, it wouldn't be as noticeable. Please be advised that I am aware of this little problem, but as I am not a creator, I am unable to fix this.
2. He does sport a skintone that carries his signature tattoos (namely the pirate insignia on his back and his name on his left arm). Because of this, I have altered the likelihood of this skintone being passed down to any children of his to practically nil. The tattoos are not inheritable by females, but males
would receive the tattoos, which is the reason that I changed it's inheritability in SimPE.
In the unlikely event that anyone happened to see him elsewhere, I do have him uploaded to the Exchange under my altername handle, MaitoGaiFan, so no one needs worry about plagiarism in any form.
If I've forgotten any information, please let me know, as this is my first attempt to upload a Sim that I've assembled to a site that's not the official one. If anyone would care to offer some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S. I would like to apologise for the poor quality of my pictures, but my video card isn't the best. I will be updating the pictures hopefully on Monday if I can upgrade it as I have planned.
