[2.02] Create Your Own Sim
Lets start with the basics. Click on Create a Family (a family with a plus
sign on it) on the neighbourhood screen. Here are the basic options
Name
Here is where name your Sim (duh). You can call him/her anything you like. For
example, you can call him Bob, Jack, Moo, Poo, Stupid, Ugly, Hobo, anything
you like. Don't forget the surname box at the bottom to finish the name.
Gender
Here is where you decide if the Sim is a male or a female (well, duh)
Age
You can choose where your Sims can start off with age. They can be a toddler,
child, teenager, adult or ELDER!!!
Colour
Choose the skin colour here. You can choose either light, tan, brown or dark.
If you have downloaded any skins off the net, they will appear next to dark.
Weight
Choose if you want a fatty boom boom Sim for a frail skinny Sim. This will
change throughout the game.
Biography
Here you write about you Sim.
If you are so damn lazy that you cannot do any of the above, click the die
button to randomize your Sim you lazy bum.
***
Once the basics have been set up, you can move onto the Body! Yay! Body
options allow to configure what your Sims will look like in the end. Its a
long list, so lets start
***
Head
You can change the shape of your Sim's Head. Theses heads will depend on your
chosen skin colour, age and gender
Hair Style and Colour
This options change the hair style and hair colour of your Sim. There are
several styles to choose from, including hats like a VIKING HORN HAT. HAHAHA,
dress your Sim like a Viking! HAHAHAHAHA. Where was I? Oh yes, the hair. You
can change the hair colour to red, black, etc. Next to the red option, there
will be an icon which lets you use hair styles downloaded of the internet. Or
made using the Sims Body Shop (separate program installed when you install
the Sims 2)
Face
You can change the face to your liking. You can make the Sims look like a
normal person, ET like, deformed like a monkey (no offence to be taken here)
or so ugly so that mirrors will break when they see him, scare the living
daylights out of people so see him or like the Grim Reaper. With the slider,
you can change the facial height of your Sim.
Brow
You change the eyebrow of your Sim. Choose the base option and change
according to your taste. You can change the thickness of the brows till you
are happy.
Eyes
Like above, you choose a base and customise accordingly. You can change the
eye colour to your own taste.
Mouth
You can get a big mouth, small mouth or your average size mouth. The sliders
here control width, size and shape. (Wanna making that long mouth painting
you've been seeing so often?)
Chin
Like your weird mouth, you can change the chin. Choose a base like normal,
then fiddle around till you are happy
***
When you are done with the facial expression, you can place makeup!!!
***
Blush
Give it a brush with some blush. Choose from the several colours available.
Both males and females can use this.
Eyeliner
Is you Sim a Goth? Give it the black treatment. Both males and females can
use this.
Eye Shadow
How deep will the colour array have for your Sim? You want a male who wants to
be a female? Give him the shadow! Wanna a dirty slut for a wife? Place the
eye shadow till its just like TV! Males and females can both use this.
Lipstick
Want red lips? Want black lip? Now you can with the lipstick!?! OMG !?! Both
males (snigger) and females can use this.
***
After the makeup, you can choose some accessories to go along with your Sim
***
Costume Makeup
This allows you to add some face painting to your Sim. There are several
schemes for you to choose from. My favourite (being Warfreak) is the military
one. Both males and females can use this.
Glasses
Want a nerdy figure in your family. Bored and want to make someone in your
family a pointdexter? Then give them glasses. The Sims 2 glasses range from
you typical sunnies to the old, boring, dull, traditional reading glasses.
Both males and females can wear these fab products.
Beard or Moustache
Give your Sim that unique look. Give him a moustache to look like Saddam
Hussein (infidel!) or Mario (the plumber) or a beard to be like a biker
(rebel!) or good old Santa! Hey, males only!
Stubble
Used in conjunction with the beard/moustache, your Sim can have a stubble.
Not a moustache, not a beard, just enough to show it out. This is a males
only option.
***
After the face, you can choose your Sim's clothing
***
Everyday Outfit
You can mix and match your everyday outfit from the large range of tops and
pants here or select a pre-made suit.
Formal Outfit
Choose what formalwear your Sim will have. You will wear it to the Wedding
Party if you make one.
Undies
Choose what lingerie your Sim will wear to bed
PJ's
This is what your Sim will wear instead of undies to bed
Swimwear
Your Sim will swim in this outfit. If this go into a hot tub, they will also
wear this outfit as well
Athletic Outfit
This is what your Sim wear when on an exercise machine or meditating.
After this you will choose your Aspiration and Personality. This will be
explained later in Chapter 3, Aspirations will be explained later on in this
FAQ. Then you choose your family tree. You choose who your Sims have relations
with. If you have a male and a female adult in the family, you will be able to
have a baby. The baby will look like its parents. Click the pacifier icon till
you have the baby you want.
