I love the introspective look in these pics. And the reflection of the city in the glass behind him is just wow. Very cool! For a guy with pointy ears, he's pretty hunky. Then again, I thought Dr. Spock was, too… 8}

BTW – thought you might be interested in this little UI mod I happened across today over at MTS2, being as you take screenshots and have to crop. 🙂

Kara said: I'm sorry, I didn't see this was in moderation until today (10/24). My spam filter flagged it because of the link. Anyway, yes, I've seen that and thought it was a great idea. However, I didn't download it as I knew I'd end up cropping many of my pictures anyway and also I really depend on seeing that red pause border around the screen. I run my game in slow motion when taking pictures so I'm afraid I wouldn't know if the game was paused or not if I didn't see the border. haha Silly, I know.

Yeah, I also like the pointy-eared guys. Although, I guess I'm partial to any hottie be they pointy- or round-eared. 😉

A thoughtful Tahlvin is incredibly hot! Is it wrong to be lusting after someone else's sims?

Kara said: Well, if it's wrong then I'm evil incarnate. heehee I lust after other people's sims all the time.

I think the last picture is going to be my wallpaper for a while ...

I, like a few people who commented already, thought Tahlvin looked a bit different.. I think it's the unshaven look? I seem to remember smooth, hairless skin in past pictures. Anyway, he looks great. It might just be my attraction to sad characters, but it really does seem like he's contemplating something profound, like he's..missing something/someone. I'm getting all analytical here, as usual, but it's hardly something I can control.. Adore the angles, by the way. As a photographer-to-be I am always looking for good angles. Lovely!

Kara said: Yeah, I think it's interesting how different he looks with just some stubble. I originally was going to have all my male elves be beardless, but one of my elves insisted on stubble so I decided to give it to all my males. Plus, I just like that look on a guy. A very natural touch that I think is very masculine and sexy. I'm a (very) amateur photographer so it's fun to play around in the Sims with angles. It's much easier to take pictures in the Sims than it is in RL too! Well, at least for me.

I just can't get over how utterly real your simmies look! I've tried making some of my sims realistic looking, but they always turn out looking goofy! I love your sets too, great use of lighting and decor!

Kara said: Thank you, Mandie! It actually took me a while to get my Sims to look the way they doâ€”a lot of tweaking and fixing skins. Phew! I find it interesting to go back through the older pictures of my Sims. They've definitely changed since they first appeared. Not drastically, but still...
