Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Rogue777 on August 16, 2006, 09:11:42 pm OK, seems the competition is heating up to see who can make the best Billy Joe Armstrong for xenabrat. I hope Lon827 doesn't mind that I did this. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes! It's all in good fun. :)

I guess I am your number 10.63 fan or something like that..... there are others here who have known you longer than I, so I dare not take their places ;) Looks like you did a great job to me, Rogue! Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Lon827 on August 17, 2006, 02:13:09 am Perhaps that is what seems to make him unappealing to some is his small piggy eyes and hist tiny little ears. I noticed that when doing my rendition.
Good job Rogue. I could've sworn i had already posted on this thread. Seems I'd best leave this kind of thing to the oldtimers. Title: Beautiful Work Post by: platinum on August 17, 2006, 03:28:44 am Awesome job Rogue,` you made this guy look better.

Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: DLMulsow on August 17, 2006, 06:43:50 pm *wretch, barf* Yep, he looks just like him! Gawd, that poor man is unattractive...
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Rogue777 on August 17, 2006, 09:19:21 pm You crack me up, DL. I think you've made your point. ;)
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: xenabrat on August 22, 2006, 12:18:51 pm Wow... I don't know what to say. So many of you creators are so talented, and must have alot of patience to go about building these Sims... every time I try, I fail. I think this likeness is more accurate & a very good rendition. I think his chin could be a bit less "square" but I don't know how to do it. I'm beginning to think maybe BJA is just a hard one to replicate. Sometimes I think Body Shop just needs more options!
So you guys must tell me how you create your Sims. Do you use that SimPE tool/program? Or just Body Shop? I'm considering DLing the SimPE program, but I don't have a great graphics program anymore. All I have is Microsoft Digital Image Starter 2006 Edition Editor (that came with my media center PC). It's pretty basic. I've recolored some hair with it, but that's about it. Anyway... just wanted to say great job on Mr. Billie Joe. I think his eyes are the saddest (but sweet) puppy dog eyes ever. LOL I'm kinda smitten I guess... LOL. I keep saying I wanna upload some pics of my Sims here, but haven't been able to capture more than one pic at a time in screenshots/snapshots. Any way around that? Well, have a great day & thanks again! :) ~Lisa~ Title: Just for fun... Post by: xenabrat on August 23, 2006, 06:12:05 pm Okay... I gathered all my BJA's and put them in 2 houses & took pics & numbered them. One of them is one that I messed with for hours trying to get dead on... but I think it is impossible with this man - unless someone knows how to or does "masks", I think these are what we have to choose from. I didn't upload any of them, because they are not my creations. Even the one I messed with & modified was originally made by another creator. Anyway, you decide... if you see one you like and you want him - we know you won't want one, DL ;) - PM me and I will let you know where I got him. Not sure if it's proper to "advertise" creations posted on sites other than Insiminator, so I'll just do it that way until I'm told otherwise. Sorry about the size & poor quality of the pics, but I didn't want to clog anything up on here... and I don't know how to take multiple pictures while in game - everytime I click the camera, and exit the game and go into storytelling, there is only one picture (the most recent) from that session??? So... here they are.
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Ozzucay on August 23, 2006, 06:23:50 pm Xenabrat, the reason you are only seeing the most recent picture taken is you are most likely looking in \my documents\ea games\the sims 2\storytelling. The directory you should be looking in for your pictures is \my documents\ea games\the sims 2\neighborhoods\nxxx\storytelling where nxxx is the number of the neighborhood where you took the pictures (n004 and up are custom hoods) :)
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Rogue777 on August 23, 2006, 06:41:21 pm xenabrat: That's pretty funny that you have all of them living in one house.
For the record, I vote for number 7 and number 4 as the Sims most closely resembling BJA out of that lot. But then, I would say that, wouldn't I? LOL It's true about the limitations of BodyShop - sometimes close is as close as you can get. It would be nice if you could adjust the neck length, for example, or as you said earlier, if you could make the chin less square without pinching it. Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: kathy on August 24, 2006, 06:27:45 am Fantastic job!!
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: DarkDude28 on January 11, 2007, 06:33:53 pm AWESOME likeness. WOOOOW. That's one of the best simcelb I've seen. Great job, but that doesn't seem like enough.
Title: Billy Joe Armstrong - my attempt :) Post by: Rogue777 on January 11, 2007, 08:12:58 pm Thanks, darkdude28, I appreciate that very much! :)
