SYMPATHY ~ a non-default face template.

brought to you by the fact that i was making a perfectly nice looking adult sim, only to do my customary click through other genders/ages and find a a lipless, collapsed-chin, tiny-nosed, distorted abomination of a toddler. also eyelid clipping pretty much everywhere that wasn’t adult female.

i didn’t want to let go of the low eyelid crease that was causing the clipping problem, and fiddling can only get you so far, so i brute forced the thing and made this.

which is to say: it’s got a nice squarish shape for all your short-wide face needs, but its most noteworthy / useful feature is the low eyelids, which stay consistent across all ages and genders and can be used in combination w/ custom eyelid sliders to create genuine monolids, like this:

good for mimicking the look of hooded and tapered eyelids also.

preview sims are not wearing any makeup. bodyshop preview is unedited, in-game previews are lightly sharpened but otherwise untouched.

a little while ago i shared some pictures of my rebuilt version of the palace of neverending light -- well, here’s its counterpart, my take on the fortress of everlasting darkness. (plus one neighborhood view shot, to give an idea of their relative positions in the ‘hood and show off my pretty, pretty waterfall.)

unlike the palace, i rebuilt this lot from the ground up. there’s just... not really anything interesting or worth salvaging about the original fortress’s design lol. i did try to keep it a bit boxy and imposing as a contrast to the palace’s more elegant design, and i kept the weird terrain spikes from the original palace since they fit with my idea that the magics around the fortress did violent things to the terrain itself, but that’s about it.

my current project is creating a custom magic stealth hood to replace the atrociously ugly one that shipped with AL.

so. here’s my take on the palace of neverending light. rebuilt the whole thing from scratch, keeping the general shape of the main building while trying to make everything feel much more light, open and airy. and killed those ridiculous oversized towers with extreme prejudice, of course.
