It's the blue-eyed soul singer himself!

Made by Request... for Ed/EKozski...

(makes me think of Mike Wazowski...
ya know, Monsters Inc...
never mind... lack of sleep)
*yawn*

ANYhoo---

This is him in his younger years because that's what Ed wanted. :D

Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, and a long and sucessful solo career...

Heck- he's even on TOUR right now!!!

Too young to remember Steely Dan or the Doobie Brothers???  Me too! :D

Well- he was a major influence on one Taylor Hicks- for you American Idol junkies.... (I LOVE CHRIS DAUGHTRY)  
?what?  LoL ok, ok, sorry.

So- you either know him or you don't- either way-

Here he is:

Here is the pic I had to work with: (Thanks Ed-lol)

Here is a list of CC I used to make him:

:worship:*THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COOOOL CUSTOM CONTENT*:worship:


Here is what you will need to make him look like this in your game:

NOTE:  most of the cc I used IS included but if you find something is missing or broken- here's the links:

Showerproof skintone from Kavar. It's the BodyBuilder with black hair.

You'll need to download these meshes-
Ju_Beos_top_nipples and Ju_Beos_barbiebottom240705, found here:

Mesh and outfit can be found here:

The one you see in the pics here is the recolor of this outfit -
you'll need the meshes here:

The HAIR:

I did a bit of trimming and some serious recoloring to HAIR #3 from raonjena.com.  Everything you need for the hair to appear in your game should be in the file... but just in case I flubbed it up... you can find the original hair and mesh and all the "normal" colors on page 3.  Just click on hair #3 to get to the downloads.

My recolor/trimmed hair will appear as in the pictures for adult male sims... when they become elders the black part of the hair turns gray- the top remains white/silver.

The BEARD:

My own recolor and tweak of a maxis base game beard.  It shouldn't give you any trouble.  It turns solid gray when the sim turns into an elder.  :)

YOU MAY recolor the hair as long as you give credit/link to raonjena.com!  (see her policy if you need clarification)

If you use MY recolor/trim as seen here- you still need to mention the original hair and mesh at raonjena.com.... and well that I did the recolor/trim on it of course.  LOL

The beard- just mention that I did the recolor- that's simple enough, right?

THIS is the first hair I have EVER done- and well first beard too- so they are NOT perfect.  You can file complaints with the "give me a break" department. :P  

You're welcome to take them and make the texture, color, whatever, better yourself.  Just remember who to credit and where if you do post them for download. :)

DON'T UPLOAD EITHER to the exchange or pay/donation sites!!!

NOTE- the body builder body mesh is from Marvine/Beosboxboy and they do not allow their work to be uploaded on any paysites or the exchange- so please respect their wishes and just DON'T do it!

Here is my policy on what NOT to do with him:

DO NOT upload him to a paysite (including donation sites), the evil exchange, or claim him or any cc used to create him as YOURS.

Here is what you CAN do with him:

Download him, sing along with your favorite M.M. song, create a Kenny Loggins Sim, then make yourself a Christopher Cross... then have a helluva sim concert!

Put a link and credit for any CC you reuse and honor the creators policies, Add this link to *this thread* and my name if you use him somewhere other than the NO-NO places mentioned above.  

*Why?  Well, mainly because the links are all here and it will save you time and them (anyone who wants to download this sim or any of the cc for him) trouble and also because I said so!  LOL*

Are you still reading?  Why?  Download already and then go

Enjoy him in your game!

Mercy, Mercy Me

My pixel perfect world is now pure perfection. :D

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You're welcome!

*can I go to bed now?*

LOL

J.k.

Glad you like him and we figured it all out- hair and all- whew!  ;)

Whew! is right!

Pleasent dreams :)

I will probably dream that Michael McDonald shows up to complain about his messy hairdo.... lmao

LOL

Too funny

nicely done :thumbup: thanks

Very nice job
Thanks

Michael McDonalds new house. Everything is black and white. Like his hair.

Here's the bedroom.

She deserves every good comment she gets. She did one hell of a job with me and Michael McDonald.

God Bless her.

AWWWW--- you're just the super-sweetest thing! ***HUG***

Thanks- I'm really glad you like him and "yourself" so much. :D

I love the pics of his house and your "meeting".  Terrific!

But, but... where's Paul???

Let me guess- he didn't like Dr. Pepper? :p

LOL

Haven't met Paul yet.

One of us will. I'll post a few pictures when either of us does.

Waiting... watching... stalking...

It's your own fault you know.

heeheehee

GASP!

HORRORS!!

I forgot to get clothes for Paul.

I'm buzzing around a few sites to get the poor (hot) guy extra stuff to wear.

Tomorrow, I'll put a few pictures up in his thread.

Paul's nekkid and you are horrified????  WTH????

(blink,blink,blink)



I thought all the men in your sim world would be wearing nothing but Dr. Pepper LipSmacker!  My Bad.  >:)

You are sooooooooooo bad.

But in a cute and fun way. :D

Looks just like him when he was young and sexy, singing with that husky voice just to me, sigh, (not that he's not sexy now just a bit older). Crap I just realized how badly I dated myself just then.  My older sister listened to the Doobies, yeah thats it, she forced me to listen, lol.  
Great job on Mike, super detail, you really have a knack for it, so please make more sims!

Thank you!  I plan to make as many as I can. :)

This is too cool...you are dead on the money!  One of my favorite artists indeed! Since the Doobies.   Thanks so much for what seems like great time consuming work.

Thank you!  

It was a bit challenging because of his hair and beard...

I was just tickled that I finally figured out a way to recolor hair during this process!  LOL

Thanks! I love Michael McDonald!! The house is fabulous!! Where can it be downloaded?

Thank you.

The original house can be found at TSR.

I decorated that way. Once I find the link again, I'll send you a PM.

You're welcome vikvac49 :)

I agree the house EKozski found for Micheal suits him perfectly! :D

Everything about the house was based on his hair/beard and outfit.

I really like what you did! And the hair looks great too :D Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments on my work.... and you're welcome... I like to share. :D
