Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: ilikefishfood on February 11, 2007, 09:55:24 am This is Ike and Barbara Duru, parents of Khalil (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=32328), Safiya (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=36420), the twins: Kofi (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=35019) & Malika (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?p=561680#) and Chad (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=35028) posted in the Sim Hunks and Sim Honeys forums.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/durus_ikebarbara.jpg) A Nigerian prince, Ike (Ichechi: Igbo for God's Gift) was studying medicine in the UK, when he met Dutch model, Barbara (born Elke, but changed her name when she became a model). Despite being from two totally different worlds, they fell madly in love and got hitched. They lived in Europe for the first few years of their marriage, but eventually moved to the US and settled in California. They've been together for over twenty-five years. Ike is now a much-sought-after plastic surgeon, and Barbara is a fashion designer. They'd hoped to finally get the house to themselves when their kids all went off to university, but Safiya has moved back in, and with Kofi and Malika about to graduate......and apparently eyeing their old bedrooms, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen any time soon. lol! Ike is pictured here with a Skintone by Wirelessguy which is linked to Beosboxboy's bodybuilder mesh. The skintone and mesh are not included in the package file. So, to make your Ike look like my Ike please download: Wirelessguy's wguy-beos-louis7-dark skintone-linked to bodybuilder here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=11880). And you'll need Beosboxboy's barbie meshes from here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=2277). (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_ikefull.jpg)(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_ikeflip.jpg) (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_ikecloseup2.jpg) His clothing, stubble, eyecolor etc. listed here, are all included in his file below. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/Ikesinfo.jpg) As a former model, Barbie takes good care of herself. Recently she's been getting a little concerned about the teeny weeny lines around her mouth, and is thinking about getting work done. Barbie was created to look like my very first Barbie doll. In the interest of filesize, I've not included her skintone by Nouk. It's "NoukYupShineySkintone Light" and you'll find it here (http://www.noukiesims2.net/). (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_barbiecloseup.jpg)(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_barbarafull.jpg) All of Barbie's other bits and pieces listed here, are included in her file below.(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/Barbarasinfo.jpg) Still in love after all these years (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/duru_ib.jpg) There seems to be a problem at Nouk's site. It's loading, but the actual link to Barbara's skintone isn't working. As it's a free site, and we're allowed to redistribute, I've zipped it, and am posting it here for those who don't have it. I hope that's ok. Please visit Nouk's fabulous site, and see all of her wonderful creations. She does fabulous hair by the way!

Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: jaldeer on February 11, 2007, 05:12:27 pm Thank you so much Toni. It's great to have the complete family. The link to Nouk's shiney light skin tone on the site says page can't be displayed. The link to the other 3 work - just that one that doesn't.

Can you try again? Thanks for the great feedback guys! And yes, LoveCannibals.....Ike is your's to do with as you please. Be gentle! lol! Here's a sneak peak at my all time favourite family (they were re-created from TS1 to TS2), the Garcias (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/ilikefishfood/garcias.jpg): comming soon to a thread near you. The parents are the two in the middle, Michael & Chaya (he is doing moose ears over her head), and their eleven children! What can I say, they're both family sims; she's days away from becoming an elder and she still wants a baby! lol!

Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: ilikefishfood on February 12, 2007, 04:30:09 am Okay........there seems to be a problem at Nouk's site. It's loading, but the link to Barbara's skintone isn't. As it's a free site, and we're allowed to redistribute, I've zipped the skintone, and posted it above for those who don't have it. Please do visit Nouk's fabulous site, and see all of her and her friends' wonderful creations.
Indeedy, Maxmb........our Ike is streamy AND dreamy! Hot! You should see his sons (follow the links in the first post). Though, personally, I think he's hotter than them! lol! Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: mbcritics on February 12, 2007, 06:36:17 am Great couple!

Title: babara duru hairstyle Post by: marya on February 12, 2007, 03:13:57 pm where do i get the mesh for the hairstyle & is it free
Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: ilikefishfood on February 12, 2007, 03:18:59 pm Quote from: marya;575271 where do i get the mesh for the hairstyle & is it free Yup, it was a free mesh by Sussi of Sussissogoodsims; but she's closed her site to move on to other things (namely raising an adopted baby); but the mesh and the blonde hair is included in Barbara's file above. You might find some re-colours at MTS. Will poke around and see if I come up with any links for more colours. EDIT: So far all I've found for you, is one re-colour of the mesh (without bangs) at MTS2 http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=112177&highlight=sussi. But I'm sure they're others out there. Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: bre on February 12, 2007, 08:14:36 pm Oh, aren't they both lovely? Great sims! Thanks. :)

Though Sussi has closed her site, they've been reposted at MTS2. You find all the re-colours here (again, the mesh is included in Barbara's file, above) http://www.modthesims2.com/member/showthread.php?t=220175 Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: Squinge on February 14, 2007, 03:14:23 am Off topic but it's good to see^ you :D *hugs*

Title: Ike & Barbara Duru: Against All Odds Post by: ilikefishfood on July 11, 2008, 11:17:38 pm Thanks! I recently had to scrap my neighbourhood and start all over again. I'd been playing the same hood for nearly 4 years, and it was a mess! But I missed some of my fave families, and was so glad I posted them here so I could download them and play them all over again! Glad you like my favourites too!
