Maxis Taste Dare #20: PROM

I already had plans for a prom chapter in Fortune & Romance and already knew which characters were going and who was going with whom. So, as part of the dare for Maxis Taste this month, I decided to figure out the makeovers now! See if you can figure out who these characters are. These are all Maxis premades, though some of them are (distinguished) townies/downtownies.

DD SP
GM FH
DD SB



The "pink" couple normally wouldn't be able to afford prom, but they were helped out by a "fairy godmother" of sorts, which is why they're a bit overdone.

(A couple of the boys are shrunk, rather than aged down for outfit reasons.)

Took me ages to figure out the top left couple! ;)

They were not easy to makeover, but I liked how they turned out. :)

I see Brandi and Skip, (they're the last couple, right?)

Um...That's all I got. But the pictures are lovely! I'm going to add you as a friend, if you don't mind :)

Don't mind at all, and you guessed correctly!

Who is the top left couples?? :)

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
Peter Ottomas and his future bride.

Oooh, how cool! Awesome pictures. And I enjoy these guessing games. Let's see...

0. Goopy GilsCarbo :P
1. Darleen and Darren Dreamer
2. Samantha and Peter Ottomas
3. Gvaudoin Tricou and... is that Mary-Sue Oldie (Pleasant)?
4. Hot Blond Downtownie and Fricorith Tircou
5. This one's hard. I think it might be Daniel Pleasant and The Diva.
6. Brandi and Skip Broke

You win! :DDDD

I'm really impressed that you were able to recognize the Diva.

Is it sad that out of all of them, the only one I recognized was my Georgie (Hot Blond Downtownie). <3

I really like Samantha and Peter Ottomas' picture!

[identity profile] hooptytrib.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
You get more characterization out of one image than I would get by droning on for hours. The damnedest thing: this seems to be more and more the case. You must be refining your style because it can't be that I'm getting stup... well. Hmm.

Pictures good. Hoop like.

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're right about refining my style, or I hope so! I've also learned some technical skills that are making things a bit easier. Thanks for the compliment!

[identity profile] sophie8.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome makeovers! It does leave me asking how old are Dina and Nina if Mary-Sue is a teenager when they are adults? I mean she has teenage children at the start of Pleasantview!

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
I've made Dina the same age as Jenny Smith just to fix her memory of kissing Michael Bachelor (otherwise we'd have a 30+ guy giving a teenage girl her first kiss) But they will eventually get a taste of the same thing that makes Bella Goth so much younger than Mortimer.

Also, it seems to be common in Sim culture to marry your high school sweetheart and have kids right away. (Mainly because the programmers got lazy with the Sim memories.) So Lilith and Angela should be in the oven in only 4-5 years or so. ;P

Love the bottom right (second to last?) one. Her scowl is too wonderful.

They all look great.

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I love the Sim bitchface.

[identity profile] silenzii.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Incredible pictures. I was unable to discover who is who and I'm impressed now that I know.
As always, I love Goopy. <3
Those pants are amazing. LOL

[identity profile] silenzii.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
As a side note, I'm adding you, ok?
I want to follow your journal because I love everything that you post.

[identity profile] niloublue.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
This is amazing! I especially love Goopy and Gvaudoin and Mary Sue!

[identity profile] simgaroop.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! These are amazing :D

It took me a while to recognize some of these (like Hot Blond Downtownie, it's been a while since I last saw him in a story), but now that I've read the "answers" I love how you set up the couples. My fave pics are the top two :)

[identity profile] greygoldgriffin.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The Diva is great, I would never have guessed it was her.

Poor Goopy, could he not have gone with fellow romance sim Sandy Bruty? :)

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a possibility that he may find romance by the end of the night, especially if he uses some of the cologne he bought from Dina.

[identity profile] tatdatcm.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. I love Brandi and Skip. Their story is so tragic, I like to see them happy. I also love your take on Mary Sue. The Diva with Daniel is hilarious too.

[identity profile] scribal-goddess.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
1)Ramaswami
2)Don't know
3)Gvaoudin Tricou and Mary-Sue Pleasant.
4)Don't know
5)The Burbs
6)The Brokes

Oh wow - top right is the Ottomases? Oh dear - the burbs was a wild guess, but I should have gone with my first impression - that the girl was the diva and the guy was Daniel Pleasant.

[identity profile] antimaccassar.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
All the couples look great! Daniel and the Diva are too funny! And I see Peter Ottomas had his uh, unique sense of style from the very beginning :P

And Goopy, oh Goopy, how could I not mention him? Those pants and that hat will haunt me forever...

I missed a couple, but I have to say I love your pictures! Makes me wanna do maxis match but I love my aliens so much :(

[identity profile] aledstrange.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
This all so absolutely awesome!! <3
Especially love Fricorith with the Hot Downtownie (Tho, I didn't recognize the townie and was wondering who he was until I read some of the comments lol), and the picture of the Brokes is adorable.

[identity profile] olivethegreat.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
They all look great! :) I love Skip and Brandi's picture the most.

[identity profile] refuse2surndr.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You're amaizing with the pictures. :-)

I guessed the Dreamers, but the rest I was all... Duh! I've never played the Tricou's, so yeah. Lost.

I'm adding you if you don't mind, love Fortune & Romance :-)

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't mind at all, thanks!

This is awesome. 'Nuff said. B|

[identity profile] saphira-314.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Brandi looks so happy! :)

[identity profile] mdpthatsme.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
You are unbelievably creative! This is spectacular! I love them all!

[identity profile] yeahyeahjess.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea who any of them are (shame!). :D But I love the two girls with their matching dresses/hair. And I would guess the last couple is Brandi and Skip?

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's them. The electric blue girls are Gvaudoin Tricou and Mary Sue (when she was a teenage rebel.)

[identity profile] ljofasoul.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
THE BROKES. Wow. Brandi looks like she's having the time of her life . . . and the sunglasses totally fit the "I'm trying too hard to look rich" look for Skip.

Well done. I really adore your work, it's my favourite of them all ;)

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Yeah, Skip's trying a bit too hard and the orange/pink combination was pretty daring!

D'aww this is just too sweet... :')
But you could've found a girl for Goopy, as far as I know, there's a Goopy womensline on Parsimonious you could've used for whoever it might've been ;)

[identity profile] skellington7d.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, seriously? Where I can I find it on the site?
