Mass Effect Sims Coming Soon

So....since having a baby, I haven't had a lot of time to play my other video games in a while. I've got a large backlog of games that need to be played and some aren't even opened! However, I did finish Mass Effect 3. I love this series. It might actually be my favorite game series of all time. I've even read all the comics and books. (NERD ALERT) Anyway, it inspired me to try making all the characters from the Mass Effect games (all 3) as Sims. Since many are aliens with very different physiology, they all have to be human. Not a problem though, because as with everything I do, I'm going to make it as detailed as possible.

At the moment, I've made female Commander Shepard, Liara T'Soni, Garrus Vakarian, Tali Zorah, and Wrex.  The trouble I'm running into is whether or not to do a literal interpretation of the alien characters or just make them as "attractive" representations of themselves. It hasn't been too difficult with Liara and Tali since they're human-like anyway, but Garrus and Wrex are very challenging. I've modeled Wrex's face after Kratos from God of War. Figured that was pretty accurate if he was a human, except no scars sadly. I wish the Sims had scars to add.

Anyway, if I had chosen to go the literal interpretation route, than Wrex's eyes would be far apart and beady, his nose would be almost non-existent, he'd need a large back hump, etc. So I don't think I'll be going that route. Clothes are also pretty challenging. This game takes place in the distant future so futuristic clothes are a must. Also a lot of importance is placed on military style as well. Since there isn't a whole lot of choices for "armor" in The Sims 3 (/sarcasm), I'm currently trying to give the characters fashionable alternatives. I still want things to look futuristic and alien, but not ridiculous and cheesy.

This project should take up most of my time playing. Just bought Lunar Lakes as it would be the perfect neighborhood for these characters. And how far am I going to go with this? Pretty far. I'm planning on making ALL THE CHARACTERS. Going by this amazing work of art, 25 + Javik, EDI, Hackett, and Kai Leng. That's 29 new sims! I might even throw in Traynor or Kelly Chambers for an even 30! Haha......but seriously, this won't be easy.

I should go.  ;)
