Default Red Velvet Cupcake {Sim}
Okay, I have created a sim by the name of Red Velvet. She is still underway, as I still have to edit it so she does not have any pay site items. I am pretty sure her hair is, so please do not mind that at this very moment. However, here are a few pictures of her:

In CAS:


Lighting Effect:


In Game {interacting}:



Any and all criticism and ideas are greatly wanted/needed!

Content: {work with me here, I'm trying to get it all down}:
Genetics:
Skin: LadyFrontbum's Naughty & Nice Female Skins
Eyes: escand's Oh My Eyes
Hair: TO BE FOUND.

Clothing:
Everyday Outfit: Stella McCarthy Jumpsuit from All-About-Style

Make-Up:
Costume: aarin's Lashed
Lips: TO BE FOUND.

NOTES!:
Male sim in pictures is not mine. It belongs to AmberNicole1989 and can be found here .
When uploaded she will be by herself. All of her other pictures got deleted so that is why there are some interacting shots.

can we get a face pic with the hair pulled back out of her face, and no make-up? Also, is she any kind of specific creature, or is she just red because you wanted her to be?

I don't take requests. :-)

Yup, I had one, but it was deleted. Let me go get another one. She's not exactly a specific creature, but I am basing her off of Red Velvet Cupcakes. (My favorite kind of cupcake.)

Ooo... That sounds like a cool concept. However, I think (just an opinion) you should make her skin a creamy tone (like frosting), and then make her hair a deep red so that she still embodies a red velvet cupcake, but might not look so, well, alien. Just an idea.

So you mean like make her skin a "humanish" color or do you mean have her skin look more, how do I say it? Edible? Haha.

But I agree, there is something alien-ish about her.

I meant make her skin a natural tone. If I were you, I'd use the pinkish one by EA, and then put creamy pink blush on her to play up the pink-ness of the skin.

Alright, I'll try that out and post on how it goes.


Here are a few. Perhaps maybe more pinkish/redish?

Thanks for considering my idea! Hmm.... Maybe a lil' paler.

Alright, here's more paler skin tones.

I'd do the opposite. Keep the skin the way it was originally, and make the hair like white frosting.

Her face sculpt is seeming a little bit plain to me somehow - a little simbin-y, but not quite. But I think you've got some good suggestions of uniqueness in her features now - just have to bring them out a little more.

Her eyes are quite wide-spaced, and from the name, I'd say she's supposed to look sort of sweet and innocent, yet sort of otherworldly/sexy? Perhaps make her eyes a bit unusually large and widely spaced. Her nose also seems fairly straight and narrow and button-like on the end - perhaps increase the size of her nose tip and lengthen the nose a bit? You might need to bring the mouth/jaw down some to make room for a longer nose.

Her mouth, IMO, is her weakest feature like now - much like the random sim faces you get in CAS. Perhaps keep it quite small/narrow like it is now - helps with the sweetness of her face - but increase the size of the top lip and remove the /\/\ shape so it's more like just a smooth flat arch (I think that's lip definition?) and shrink the lower lip, so she has a thicker upper lip than lower lip.

I like the arched brows, the shape around her mouth (the slight nasolabial lines) and the overall shape of her face. The concept is kinda neato too - just make sure you get her face sculpt right first and then worry about all the extra content.

Out of the skin colours, I like #1 or #2 in your first set. I think a light red (not really quite to pink) will look good for her - with the light creamypink hair, and maybe get her a really insanely frilly floofy dress to do in a richer red, like the colour of a red velvet cupcake?

BTW, I really love your "Lighting Effect" pic for her - I think a couple shots like that - pretty close up to her face, showing her animating but not too much, with a really nice composition, fairly neutral background... all that works -really- well to show off the sim. Of course you'd want a -very- basic boringly-lit "mugshot" and at least one full body shot too, but... yeah. Do that when ya upload her.

Okay, thank you everyone! I will play with her a bit more once I get home from a baseball game. I will post an improved sim of her as soon as I can.

UPDATE!:
Okay, so I played with it a bit. I still think she needs more work, but I think she's getting there. I changed her skin back to dark, because I like to think of her skin as the "cupcake" part. Or do you think I should go back to the lighter colors?






Her head looks very skinny. I made it fatter.

I would personally use a different tone of red, if you can find it haha. (like a diff skin slider)

Edit: Oh and I think a whole family of cupcake sims would be EPIC. <3

I agree about the different tone of red. Red velvet cupcakes (or cake) are red, but her skin looks like it needs to have a bit of brown in it. It needs to be a bit darker and not quite so red. That's my opinion of course. Oh, and I think her hair should be white since the traditional frosting for red velvet is a cream cheese frosting..which is white.

Yeah, I'm currently playing with the skin colors I have, otherwise I'll be looking for another set of colors. I agree with the brownish/red color.


Adjusted the nose, is it too big now? Played with the face a bit, too. I tried to find a dark red, but I don't know.

Thanks, I currently am using Euphoria, but I'll look at Taste the Rainbow! I never really had sliders before, so will it be okay to have both installed?

ooops, thought you were using the game slider haha.

And yep, it is, as long as you have RezDelnava's UI mod.

I dunno. The darker red is pretty close to the color that's stuck in my head.

*has an urge for a cupcake now*

Haha it's all good Emh! I just installed the new skin shade, so I'll see how that works!
And I agree Cat because it looks more like a baked cupcake, opposed to the batter. :9 Hahah and I'm right there with you!

Edit: Alright, I'm installing a few more things and then once I get her back in CAS, I'll post a picture.


So I changed her nose again, it was freaking me out with it's hugeness. Instead it's bigger than the original, yet more natural?

Here is LFB's skin. I can't tell if I like it. I love that it's more brown. Do you think I should try lighter?

Attached is a version with the hair I might put her with, but I'm just trying to show the white hair with the skin.

I think that the skin is great. Maybe try a lighter version, just to see but this looks good. The tone is just right! I think her hair should be just a twinge more yellow. Not actually yellow but a little more creamy as opposed to grey.
