SIMS CREATION: TV Memories Series "Good Times"

I gotta tell you, I'm really not happy with their faces. No one really looks like who they're supposed to be. The limitations in Sims 3 in tweaking the look of your sims, especially for non-whites, are stunningly restrictive. Oh yes you can BUY more features, accessories, outfits, etc., can't you? Sure! That's 'cause EA is greedy! In the parlance of my characters, they're "the Man" who's trying to "keep the poor folks down".

Well, as always with these digital dioramas, I deal with the hand I'm given. Notice I made some faux front tenements outside the window and a sky blue wall background to simulate that we're looking out from a higher vantage point. I don't remember the floor the Evans' lived on but I think it was kinda high up. Actually, it looks kinda fake and that's ok since it looks more like the backdrop of a TV set, which, of course it was.

I eliminated Jualana(sp?) simply 'cause I wanted a pretty tight-in shot.

I still can't figure out how to get them to smile and look into the "camera". They should since even though they were poor, they were a happy family.

Dy-No-Mite!
