pascal_curiousMy first Maxis Taste dare. It was just impossible to resist.
The Strangetown Class of 1991
Jr. Sr. Prom
Bloddy Effing HTML. Where the hell is my code monkey when I need him? (do yourself a favor and click the link to go to animoto and see it in all of its fullscreen glory)
It is no coincidence that 1991 is the year that Pascal Curious Graduated from High School. I engineered it that way because I graduated that same year. I'm lazy.
Like the town I grew up in, the population of Strangetown is not large enough to support seperate
Middle and High schools, so all grades from seven to twelve are lumped together in the same building. (How else could I get all three of the Curious boys together at the same prom?)
Buzz Grunt and Genesis Lamb
(I hate this picture. Poseboxes were not being cooperative, and I eventually just gave up on these two)
Julien Cooke
Peter and Samantha Ottomas
(plus a bun in the oven!)
Loki Beaker
Lazlo Curious and Lyla VanderMorgan
(Also too lazy to photochop the holes in Lyla's face)
Pascal Curious
Vidcund Curious and Circe Salamis
I undertook this challenge, thinking it would be a lot of fun, and it was, but it didn't turn out exactly as I planned. Due to a buggy lot It took me the better part of 12 hours to get the few photos I do have. I hope you found it somewhat enjoyable. ( Applause and squeals of delight are always appreciated.) Do I also have to mention that a lot of really shitty love songs came out in 1991?

Great job!! :D

great story...
Date: 2011-05-26 06:48 am (UTC)Sadly, in Vidcund's memories the memory of having a toilet-related accident immediately precedes the memory of him and Circe's breakup. :P So I think Maxis might have been trying to give a hint there.
Whatever you cook up will likely be way better, tho. Looking forward to it.
Re: great story...
Date: 2011-05-26 10:05 am (UTC)It took an all night Simming session to accomplish that, but it truely was a labor of love. (That song was a bugger to find on torrents, and that ate up a bit of time as well.)
Thanks for your confidence in my creative ablities, lol. I don't know if it's better or not. Actually, I had never noticed the toilet incident, since I don't use all of the guys' memories. Just the big ones. I'm glad you brought it up, though, because it will actually fit in quite well.
