Well, I'm currently trying to create a new style of fan fiction, a machinima comic book fan fiction series (basically a comic book in PDF format made with the use of "The Sims 2", set within the new "Battlestar Galactica" universe).  I created two sims for a couple of the scenes with "The Sims 2" for a test comic for my series.  The following Sims are of the characters Laura Roslin, President of the 12 Colonies (played by Mary McDonnell) and Anastasia Dualla, an officer on the Galactica (played by Kandyse McClure).  I apologize for the lack of a Galactica green Petty Officer outfit or a Colonial Fleet blue uniform.  It's just that clothes aren't really something that I am good at.  I hope you all enjoy them nonetheless.

I'm trying to work on a Sim of Mary McDonnall from Battlestar Galactica.  Right now, the Sim shown in the pictures is still a work in progress (I think I've found a better hairdo to use and I'm still trying to make the right adjustments to the face, which I think I may need to fix the nose).  I need some opinions and a bit of help to try to adjust the Sim to appear even more like her.  Let me know what you think.  Thank you.  :worship:

I know that this board is general discussion, but I figured I'd point out that this is post is :off topi: of "The Sims 2" as a friendly reminder.

A while ago, I made a fan music video that has been on YouTube for almost a month now.  The video is dedicated and about an actress named Sandrine Holt.  Many may recognize her from "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" as Terri, the weather chick.   Some people may recognize her from the most recent season of "24" or remember her from the short lived TV series "Once a Thief".  Of course, there has been a Sim made of her by lucentgem at my request from a while ago.  Nevertheless, I felt it was necessary to make the video, because I don't think a lot of people know of her.  I do plan on doing another music video with more clips and a better music selection.

Also to point out, there is no "Sims 2" footage involved in the making of the video.  All of it is footage from the films and TV shows that I have at my disposal that features Sandrine.

Never the less, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGXDpLTojQ8

Enjoy.  

First off, I'd like to apologize in advance to anyone who might be offended by this rambling of mine.  It is not my intention to do so.  This is just my point of view and do not mean to offend anyone with my comments.

Out of all the Sims 2 sites I've been too, there is always one character Sim they have in common: Angelina Jolie.  Out of three sites I've been to recently, I have seen at least 20 Angelina Jolie Sims (this is not including the Exchange and I lost count after seven on The Sims Resource).  I have seen some that are very excellent in detail and are often dead-on to be classified as the "end-all-be-all" Sim representation of Ms. Jolie (ReginaS' Angelina Jolie sim is definately the closest and more accurate to the real person) and I have seem quite a few that barely even look like her (mainly because people miscalculate the size of her lips!).

Now, I'm not complaining or anything, but how many Angelina Jolie Sims do we need?  I honestly don't see why a Simmer would want to do an Angelina Jolie sim where there are already many of them (including the "Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider").  Seeing that there are already every version one could possibly do, I don't see why there has to be any more (the only version I can think of that has yet to be done is Angelina Jolie as Kate "Zero Burn" Libby from "Hackers", but anyone can do that by just changing her hairstyle and clothes, easily).  There are plenty of other actors out in pop culture that have yet to be Simmed or do have Sims but not as accurate to be dead-on in appearance.  I can post a whole list of actors who have no Sims or a couple of Sims that barely look like them (or at least from where I've been), and those numbers would be drawn out by the amount of Angelina Jolie Sims available.

I'm not saying that sites need to start banning any new Angelina Jolie sims, I'm just saying that I cannot see the point of a user doing and uploading their version of Angelina Jolie for download when there are so many to choose from already.  Maybe its my odd point of view (honestly, I've only done three Sim representations of actors, and I don't know if anyone else had done James Dean, Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell from "Basic Instinct" and Elina Löwensohn and uploaded them before I had decided to do them), but I always had the oddest point of view.

Again, I apologize if I've offended anyone by these comments. It was not my intention to do so.
