This is so interesting...I'm wondering is Circe pregnant? I can't wait for the next installment!

Cool, glad you liked it. Thanks for reading. We'll find out what's going on with Circe eventually. ;)

Ooooo... delicious. A possibly pregnant Circe by either Loki or Nervous, and Ajay working for the mob! LOVE IT!

Loki's body is just horrific. D: OMG he really did look like a corpse. So awesome! I really like your portrayal of Erin and the exchanges between Circe and Erin are perfect. Ajay is looking fine, I must admit. (I've always liked him but never really have done much with him unfortunately!)

I am loving this story and can't wait for more!!

Loki is the result of some Gothic-looking pale skin with a bruised face mask applied. Then I 'shooped in some bruises on the body. If there's a body bruising mask out somewhere, I could use it.

Stay tuned. I think Chap 3 will get played and shot quicker than this one did. *crosses fingers*

Ooh, a Circe/Nervous child?

This is getting better and better. Circe's sinister but a little part of me feels bad for her (but it's a very very small part).

I like the agining on Buzz's face. He looks tired. Poor Buzz.

Man, I'm running through my mind trying to figure out who the Crime Boss is. Can't wait to see her. (and I love female crime bosses)

She is a Maxis sim. ;) I know, that really narrows it down huh?

I tried to give the feeling that Buzz has been through hell losing his two younger sons. He'll never really get over it, hence the careworn appearance.

Oh, this is just horribly great! :) I cannot put my mind around all the horror and kinkyness that has happened in that house. And cannot wait to see what will follow...

Ajay is truly looking great. Is that plain Maxis skin or do you have some subtle default replacements? And General's face - that's perfect. It has always bugged me that there are no middle-aged sims. It's not natural to look the same from twenty to 65 (like anything in this game is natural, heh). So where did you get that face mask?

I use Lyran defaults for S1, S2, and S3, which you can get from Lyran.net. S4 is a Gothic dark or something like that from Genensims. Lyran defaults are very much Maxis-match; that's what I like about them so much. Ajay's eyes are also Lyran. I use Lyran contacts instead of defaults for the eyes so I can get a little more variety. I think the hair does a lot for Ajay too. :)

Onah at MTS2 made the wrinkles. You can combine laugh lines, crow's feet, forehead wrinkles and eye bags, which is really great. So it's not one single mask. More flexible that way. Here's the link: http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=246697 Have fun making some suitably middle-aged sims. :D

Yes, the Beakers always struck me as a really messed-up bunch. I'm glad you're reading and hope to get Chapter 3 out in a week or so.

The only thing that makes me happy that I didn't have internet for 10 days was that I get to come back to things like this :D

I love how tired Buzz looks. It's all really getting to him, isn't it?

I also love the depth of character you've given Circe. She's not all evil. I find your treatment of Nervous interesting too.

No intarwebz for 10 days? Ouch. >_< It's good you got it back though.

Thanks for your comment about the characterization. I'm playing with different shades of gray here for the characters. It's good to know I'm pulling it off. Especially with Circe. I've seen how a lot of people think of her as mega-bitch-on-wheels. I don't want to take that away but by itself, it's kind of shallow.

I've got some interesting things planned for all of them. Oh yeah.
