First topic message reminder :

Well I'm just a tad miffed at this moment. I've read the post here that some so kindly posted letting us know that Sunset Sims would be shutting down in 3 weeks due to a lack of funds to keep it up.

I then was checking on ms3b to see if some members creations had been listed in the updates and I come across another post letting us all know about the possible future of Sunset Sims.

So I thought, why not donate some, not much, because we have bills to pay here on Cstyles as well, but why not help another Sims 3 host keep their site up and running! I went and got everything set up and sent the donation straight over. I had seen on one post that others were letting him know that they had donated, so I thought, maybe I should post that I donated, Lord knows not as much as some others had, but I figured any little bit helps. Also, we have several members here that use Sunset Sims and Sunset Sims has graciously posted a lot of our creations from our creators and members from here on their site. I felt the closing of Sunset would hurt many, but I wanted to help out mainly due to the members of Cstyles.
I haven't been able to get on in so long but I don't fault them, I figured they might be having some server problems or whatever and it would be fixed as soon as they could.

Any who....

I go to register and can't get on the freaking site. It ask this two unusual questions, the first one fairly easy to find the answer to but the second one a bit more tricky. I searched Google and could not find a reasonable answer so I decided to do a more extensive search and see if their were others who had possibly had the same issue and lo and behold Black Pearl Sims had some ask the very question of why it was so hard to get on the site.

Someone there gave her the answers so I went back and tried to register again. It then pops up and tells me that my username is not acceptable so I go back to see what I've could have possible put wrong since I pretty much use Cecesaun1 when I sign up on other sites and blogs.

I go back to Black Pearl Sims to see if someone had possibly had problems with their username and yes, the reason being was they don't like numbers in usernames!!

I go back and delete the '1' at the end of cecesaun and try to register again and this time a note pops up stating that I' m not allowed to register because I seem like a spammer and tells me to go eat a brain muffin or something to fact.

I was furious. So much so that I decided to go to my online banking and stop payment on the donation. Wouldn't you know...my bank is doing maintenance and I can't get online to stop the payment.

Maybe it's just time to sign off for the night or day, it's 5 am and although I'm not sleepy...I am tired. (I have horrid insomnia) I'm just a bit miffed that I felt that I helped someone out without hesitation and know that I could have easily invested that money back into Cstyles and I can't even be granted simple access to let them know that I have helped.

It's not even so much as telling them I helped, it was just feeling let down because after all that work I'm made to look like a fool just trying to register.

They can keep the money, I won't try and stop payment. I've had some wonderful people assist me in a time of need for Cstyles, it's just now I feel like I could have put the money back into Cstyles and not feel like a dumbass.

Ok...vernt/rant over. Nite Cstyles!

Half-naked sim boys aside...

The mod is valid for 1.50! It's actually safe to use from Pets-1.50 because EA's file hasn't changed since then. I confirmed it was compatible in the stickied Patch 1.50 thread, so others should hopefully see that as well.

This "Maty" thread has been totally hijacked!

Yeah...kind of...but anything mentioning 'naked' is worth a hijack or two don't ya think!

Feel free to post your half naked guy on any of the threads that I started, Eden. I really don't mind. Actually, it's a very nice distraction.

I second that motion!!

*Wonders if Eden would do a makeover of Richie Striker from Bridgeport for me?* Hmmm...does Eden take requests?

I could take a shot at him if you like.

I did a makeover of him a while back, but your guys look sooo much better than mine. I would really appreciate it if you took a crack at him. Just do your magic. I plan to use him in a story, but will give you full credit, of course.

I'll see what I can do. I can't always locate all the cc, so hope that's ok.

That's ok. As long as I know what skin you use on him. I can always hunt for the rest, if needed. Thank you so much!

Is Rafael Striker the one you mean, or is there a Richie? I haven't played Bridgeport in a while.

Richie is the one that I want. He's married to Stella and they have a little boy named Sebastian. Rafael is his brother, even though they don't seem to know each other when you start a game. He also has the most hideous cheekbones and eyes that I've ever seen.

So here’s my makeover of Richie Striker from Bridgeport, as requested by Katink. The things I outright replaced are his skin, contacts, hair and eyebrows. I didn’t replace any other feature except for tweaking them in CAS, such as adjusting the eye size, lips, making the nose bigger, etc. Original Richie has somewhat feminine features so I had to butch him up a bit. And, of course, gave him better clothes and some muscle tone. I’ve listed as much of the cc as I could find or know.







Richie Striker cc:

Skin – Buffy - http://therewasnothingleft.tumblr.com/tagged/Downloads There are several skins listed and the one I used is at the bottom (non-default) where she starts off talking about a skin her fiance made. That's the one I used and the direct link to it is here: https://www.box.com/s/f53qdsy41kk6dhudr0xz
It says Nephilim skin, but in CAS it's called Buffy.

Hair – Lapiz #9-Night Springs http://lapizrazuli.blogspot.com/
I’m not sure about the second hair, but it’s fairly recent so someone here may know. I probably found it on MS3B. (Update: Katink found the second hair here: http://www.coolsims.net/?show=item&type=s3hair&id=102)

Contacts: Romantic eyes #5 by Levitas - http://levitassims.blogspot.com/2012/10/romantic-eyes.html

Eyeliner: 3D eyelash art, Set II by S-Club: http://sclub.mktm.co.uk/en/2012/08/ts3-eyelash-set2/ (You'll need the sliders too to position them right: http://sclub.mktm.co.uk/en/2012/03/ts3-slider-eyelash/) I don't use the eyelash removal tool, I just take the natural lashes down to nothing.

Eyebrows – Unknown (probably Ephemera's: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_63f63ea901014ejx.html)

Eye bags by Arisuka - http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=391004

Lips – Super Sheer by Tamo - http://tamosim.blogspot.com/2011/02/super-sheer-lipstick.html

Blush – Unknown

Leather pants: I'm pretty sure they're Club Crimsyn's http://club-crimsyn.dreamwidth.org/tag/male+clothes

I have a bunch of sliders in my game, although I didn’t use all of them on Richie. Let me know if you want to know what they are. I’m too lazy to type them all.

I have all the EPs up to Seasons and the only SP I have is Diesel.
I use Nraas Master Controller with Integration and the Buhudain CAS editor
The only photo editing program I use is Microsoft Digital Imaging Suite 2006.

Download Ritchie: http://www.mediafire.com/?5wox6s2xdc7hcho

He looks smexie very smexie i am watching these pics with my eyes wide open ;) i think my sim will get lucky today

I think you could post him with sims for downloads

Wow! He looks soooo much better than he did...truly smexy! I was literally speechless when I saw him and now I can't stop looking at the pictures. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! He is just totally gorgeous! I downloaded everything you had listed and will start looking for his eyebrows. I have quite a few sliders, so I'm pretty sure that I should be ok.

Oh my gosh, he looks so amazing Eden! I'm drooling as I type this in...

The second hair is Cool Sims 102 hair. Here by Anto and Retextured by Eternila

The eyebrows almost look like Ephemera's, but I'm not sure.

That's a major major major improvement! Omg! He's beautiful

Eden did such an amazing job. I can't wait to get him in game with Deena.

lmaoo. How did the topic change from MATY to Richie Striker? aha.

Thank you and glad he met your expectations for your game. Richie was challenging and fun to make over!

Yes, this is the totally hijacked thread to be sure. Maybe the moderator can move it to it's own section?

@Eden: Mom is Katink. She is wondering if you would be able to do Rafael Striker too. Mom will really appreciate it and also give you full credit. She won't ask for quite awhile now. If you don't want to do it she is fine with it...she would ask herself but she is in game now.

Let me give this one some thought. It takes a while to get these guys the way I want them.

Also, I think Richie's eyebrows are probably Ephemera's because I have those in my game and they look about right. http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_63f63ea901014ejx.html

I've also updated the cc list. (Note, I put Richie in a separate thread for Sims to download.)
