Allen Walker for The Sims 2

LJ cut for pictures and links.
Edit: Please take another look at this entry if you saw it before. I have added more information. ^.^
Edit 2: Apparently there's some issues with the content of the download. Not only that, but I totally noticed something else in need of revising.
Edit 3: Issues fixed. Also uploaded to another host site.
Edit 4: Proclaiming that you need to get the download from someone else. Released to the general public to give out freely. I no longer own any of the original files due to a computer crash a while back. Ask the LJ community if they have the file somewhere still. If I find the original files again somehow, I'll let you know.

Information:

Allen Walker. This is an incomplete project in my eyes, but it's complete enough where you can at least enjoy this content in your game.

Check out their other content! They're really cool. :3


If you make Allen fit, like if he swims a lot or something, his arm will revert to a normal skin tone, rather than his black arm. I did that on purpose so that if he has kids who happen to turn into teen males, you can make their skin normal (if they happen to get his skin) by making them fit or fat. Yeah, I know fit!Allen is canon!Allen but it's not something you can just choose when you're making the sim and therefore you'd have to make Allen fit after making the family in order to even get to see his arm. I believe the fit and normal version of this skin is pretty much the same looking anyhow. I didn't want his kids to have to be fat to have normal skin either. Not that it's even that different looking anyway.


Here's what I mean by incomplete: Baby, Toddler or Child Allen will not have the arm. Adult or Elder either. Sorry. If you like, comment here or contact me and ask for my original files I had made and continue where I left off. The fact is, I just do not have time right now.

Also, Allen does not have an exorcist uniform. If anyone makes one or has one, let me know please. :3 I could make one eventually but my computer doesn't support bump maps and I have no time.

Also, if anyone knows how to make bump maps and they are supported on your computer, please make Allen's shirt bump mapped?? <3333

(Links no longer work. Please ask around the community for the file. I'm more than alright with people passing it around to each other.)
Here's the download to get this sim.
FlyUpload.com:

Gigasize.com:
http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=mkbtqz1lw0c


You need this: www.xmsims.com/sims2/ehtm/hair/mhair02.htm
That's the custom hair for Allen, and it's not included. Everything else is.
 
Make ABSOLUTE SURE that you download the mesh (by clicking on the picture of the hair) AND the silver hair, otherwise you won't have a complete Allen. :3


There are 2 skin versions for Allen. One with a lovely torso scar (for those of us who like scars) and the other without (for those of us who wouldn't think of allowing the marring of Allen's perfect skin..) The files are appropriately named as such.. As are all the files. For your ease and mine.

Edit: There is no longer a second skin. For now, there is only the regular Allen skin, no torso scar included. The scar needs some work since it's... wrong.

Should be base game compatible. Let me know how it goes! :3 Make stories! Make Allen snack! (The animations are SO FUNNY!)

Thanks for putting up with my slowness. :3


Arigatou gozaimasu! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :3

PS: Here are three possible projects I will tackle in the future. Road, Kanda, Tyki, Lavi *sigh* Why must you be so hard Lavi??.

PPS: Speaking of Lavi, anyone know of any GOOD looking eye patches for him? That and the lack of proper hair meshes are the biggest reasons I would end up not doing him. I havent meshed since high school and this computer doesn't support it I don't think.

Edit 2: *face palms* That scarred skin is all wrong. I mean, it looks alright but it's not proper. It should have an exit wound on his back... Oh boy, do I ever feel silly. Um.. I'll try to fix that once the most prominent issues are taken care of.

Those being that Allen doesn't seem to appear properly as an available already made sim, which he should. The content appears, but.. I'm not sure what's going on there. I'm looking into it.

Edit 3: I had my friend and myself test this Allen, and it should actually work. You still need to download his hair seperate, but now you should actually have the ready made Allen. Please delete the old files, though I suppose if everything is bunched together it will just replace them since all except the custom sim (a random number named file) have the same name. Anyway, download it again and all of your issues should be solved.

This new file does not have the scar on his chest! I will not tolerate the scar being so blatantly unbelievable. I mean, no exit wound how silly... X_x

I think you might actually have to package the sim through Bodyshop, but you could get around the hair problem by giving him a Maxis hair and telling people to change it?

The way around that problem with the EA installer is to use the Clean Installer from MTS2.

That thing is a lifesaver.

OK I've downloaded him and installed him. I'll start the game later and let you know how it goes. ^_^

Thanks again for this. ^_^

OK, I've got him in CAS now, and he's looking good. ^_^

I haven't put him in the neighbourhood though as I already have an Allen sim and having two would be a little... redundant. XD

Oh, and I figured out where those trousers came from. I apparently downloaded a teenage L sim at some point and forgot about him. ^_^''

You are welcome. As for the icon, my Allen and Hinata have stuff going on don'tcha know... *waggles eyebrows*

Also, I hope you don't mind, but seeing as I already have an Allen sim in my game,I took your arm texture and applied it to his clothes so now the only time he doesn't have it is when he's naked - and seeing as he is basically a townie, that doesn't happen often. XD

Example - here he is in his undies XD

I copy and pasted the arm onto the appropriate clothes and altered the alpha so it showed up. I doubt I'd upload them anywhere - unless someone else wanted them though. And of course I'd credit if I did. ^_^

Honestly though, that's about the limit of my talents. My recolouring isn't so hot - probably not helped by the fact that I insist on using an ancient image editing program that I got free with a video card over a decade ago. XD

I'll show you my other D.Gray Man sims anyway... I know someone else can do much better than me though...

That is the teen mesh - I can upload it somewhere if you'd like. You'll have to get the mesh from MTS2 though - it's based on the Quincy Uniform for Bleach.

[identity profile] atom-bunny.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I've uploaded it anyway...

well, I hope that works. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll try again later. ^_^

Oh good. I'm glad it worked. ^_^ If you can improve it, then please do. ^_^

[identity profile] atom-bunny.livejournal.com 2009-04-17 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I see the scarf you are using and I'm pretty sure it's only available for adults and I could never find a similar one for teens.

I guess Adult (or young adult) would be good for him.
