I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for such positive feedback on my first Sim! As soon as I create a new celeb Sim, or someone I find extra special, I will upload him or her here again - right now I am in the process of building a new neighborhood for my game, so... until I am finished with that... no more creations (unless I accidentally create a celebish Sim) LOL. Well, thanks again & have a great night! Toodles for now!

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 Even the one I messed with & modified was originally made by another creator.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.

Here he is, Mr. John Cena. I worked on him for hours, but he still ain't quite right. If you feel like playing with him and making improvements, feel free. I did this with Body Shop & nothing else. I'd make "masks" but I have no clue how, nor would I have the patience or time (5 kids kinda put a damper on my creative/artistic & learning side). I assume everything needed is included with this Sim, but I don't know for sure as I have never done this before. Anyway... hopefully I won't forget any of the credits needed, and thanks a million to artists whose work I'm using here.

"Shower-proof" Skintone & Bodybuilder meshes by Beosboxboy here (I used the Barbie Nude light). http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=2277

White tank top by Beosboxboy & Marvine (I think) but am having trouble finding it - it's here on Insiminator somewhere. When I hovered over the thumbnail of it in the catalog it said "beos by ju"

Bodybuilder Board Shorts - mesh & colors by Marvine & Beosboxboy, recolors by Amun-RA here http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=7788

Hair "Cena High Fade" - unsure of original creator (if someone knows please let me know so I can give proper credit), but I got it here at Insiminator...

I have tried searching to find the links to everything, but I keep getting "searching has been disabled probably due to high server load" or something to that extent... if searching works for  you search "Cena High Fade" or just "Cena" and you will find it easy enough. It is on a good looking green skinned Bodybuilder Sim.

Sorry I  didn't do everything properly, but with Insiminator moving & changing these past few days, even accessing the site myself has been difficult. Once everything is up & running smooth again, I will search & properly credit those due. Once again, my apologies.

PS Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or tips!

Very good... looks just like him! I'm not a fan, but my cousin will go mad when she sees this! Keep up the great work!
~Lisa~

And yet another hot celeb for my game... yum. LOVE Clooney. Thanks!
~Lisa~

Great job! She's SO cute (and talented too). I wish you could make Sims sing like her... love that smoky voice singing the blues! Keep up the great work!
~Lisa~

Wow... the eyes are right on DL! I think she looks great...

I'm really a fan of your work, too... even if you think my beloved Billie Joe is a wretched looking beast. LOL

Keep up the great work and I'll keep DL'ing! Have a great day!

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~

Well thank you so much... he looks pretty good! I'll have to play him to actually know...

LMAO on "pop" bands & kids liking them. I'm gonna be 30 in a month, and have been listening to Green Day since I was 15 or 16. Before their American Idiot album came out, they were a punk band... now because of their uber-success they are considered "punk-pop". LOL But anyway... thanks for making me feel so young tonight! Toodles for now!

Ahh I see... it did show up indeed in  my game. I attempted to make Mr. John Cena himself using the BB meshes & skintones, as the few I have found seem to look nothing like him, last night - but sadly I don't think he looks much like him. LOL Maybe someday when I find out how to upload my own "creations" I will try that... I just fear being laughed out of Sim land! Anyway, thanks for another great Sim for me to add to Strangetown.

Great work and I am ready to download! But is the hair included? I have been searching modthesims2 for anything with "fade" or "cena" in it and have come up with nothing. If it is included, cool... but I like it so much I wonder if the original has other colors available, too. If you could kindly advise where to find it, I'd be much obliged. Thanks so much & keep up the good work!
