I have a crazy week ahead of me, so I thought I would finally finish getting my pics for Part 2 of WWC this morning while I had a little bit of time. It was a simple plan, take the fantastic skeleton skin I downloaded and make skeletons for my warriors to fight. But...the skin is not working correctly. Instead of looking like a skeleton, my sim looks like it has mismatched skin, instead, with an invisible face. So I took it out and tried it again. Same thing. Obviously, it just won't work for my EP's. So I have to use my backup idea - in which I'll use the same skeletons as in BLD and my Creature Feature - if I still have them. Gonna be pretty hard to stage a skeleton fight without the skeletons! Sheesh! Probably won't get this part done until next week.
So I jetted over to the BLD set to take some pictures with the remaining time I had. By the time everything was done loading, I got maybe 5 pictures snapped! That's it. Feels like an unproductive morning. A little advice? Don't try to snap pictures in a forest of willow trees - or any forest, for that matter, with lots of trees. Because EVERYTIME you try to move something, you'll pick up a fartin' tree instead! Then you'll put it down, rotate to get a clear view of your subjects so the tree won't be in the way - but somehow, despite the fact you try to avoid it, it you'll grab it again. Those big droopy fronds of the willows are especially annoying, because they hang down low and I always grab the tree instead of the sim, or the posing hack, or the clothing rack, or the other props, etc. Pictures are a giant pain. I swear the next scene needs to be set in the desert!

LOL - One of the skeletons from Part 2 of The Weekend Warriors Chronicles - hard at work during the photoshoot (before freewill was turned off). Part 2 of of The Weekend Warriors Chronicles - Piles of Bones* is coming soon!
While shooting chapter 29 of Between the Light and the Darkness, I noticed this odd thing walking around - in the air! It's clearly a skunk, but it looks like a chicken - check out the front legs, folded behind its back like wings. The position of its head looks fowl-like. The back legs are bird like. To my knowledge, there are no chickens in The Sims 2, so why, for the love of pixels, is this skunk walking around looking like one? I call it a Chickunk - a combination of a chicken and skunk. Now, I've known skunks to cause problems with the game in general - I feared a deformed skunk may cause extra problems. I shooed it away, but not before I sat here in fascination watching it walk all over the set for several minutes!
