The Big Trade-Off

: trappingit; April 9th, 2012

You know all the "comment and I make you a Sim"-posts that's been going around? The ones that in some cases evolved to including more things than Sims? Well, something that's popular and (above that) fun to do deserves to get some attention. In this case I figured a community would be a good way to go. This is The Big Trade-Off. Dedicated to requests in forms of trading items with each other. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner on creating or have done it for years - anyone is welcome to participate. How will this work then? Well, first of all you need to become a member so go do that. The goal is that there when this gets started will be at least one running post at all times where members trade items with each other (more info will be found under the cut). If this goes the way I hope there will be events, challenges and contests laying ahead ^__^

Trade-Off - Himawari_Oji - Open

: himawari_oji; May 18th, 14:03

What I Can Make: Sims, clothing and object recolours/retextures, makeup, shoe swaps, walls and floors
My General Style: Maxis match and modern (think IKEA) and semi-realistic
Amount of Participants I Want: 2 for now
What I'd Like to Receive: Anything for my male Sims - they lack pretty much in every department. 3t2 conversions (any of these outfits would be nice). Sims, because I need more variety in my game (a lot of my Sims look alike). Generally, pretty much anything goes - I like surprises and I enjoy trading, no matter what I receive.

trade-off {meepshit} open

: meepshit; May 6th, 17:33

What I Can Make: sims, let me know if there's a certain skin color/hair color you'd like them to have and if I have it (skin wise) or if you point me in the direction of one, i'll gladly make them with those colors. I have plenty of naturaly pale-dark skin tones but alien skins I may or may not have.
My General Style: Modern, cute, punk style sims usually. Can try and make them to request if needed.
Amount of Participants I Want: Let's say 10 for now and I'll up it later if I get those done and feel like making more :)
What I'd Like to Receive: Hoping for sims! I'm trying to fill my 'hood with pretties to breed into my legacy challenge. blonde/redheads preferred right now, but brown/black will work too.

Trade-Off - Nyren - Open

: geirrendour; May 2nd, 16:27

What I Can Make: Basic bodyshop and homecrafter stuff. I can also make object recolours/retexture but I can't mesh. I can also make lots if you want, but I prefer smaller lots.

My General Style: Maxis-match clothing/hair (I use Remi's textures). Kind of Sci-Fi-ish maybe, modern, clean stuff.

Amount of Participants I Want: ~~Perhaps 3 this time, but maybe more in the future.~~ Closed for now!

What I'd Like to Receive: I'm going to re-do my old post and hopefully this should give more ideas. I would like more different skins for my sims, such as Genensims' furry skins/Lilith's alien flavor (maybe blended with other skins), or robot skins like Fantasyrogue's Tabula Rasa. Please no eye sets since I already have too much eyes. I have a thing for geeky/school-like clothes such as sweaters, sweatervests, shoes with tall socks, converses, stuff like that. Also I prefer bright colours over dull natural colours, my favorites are Huning's pony colours or Pooklet's 3.5 neons. I would also love some conversions from TS3's Lunar Lakes, or a couple of things from the store's Japanese Inspired. I've always wanted those ushanka hats from TS3 Season to be converted too, but any kind of 3t2 conversions are welcome. I love futuristic things! But I prefer them to be clean rather than grungy, maybe something like retro future is nice too. If listing some of my inspirations would help, then my inspiration mostly come from Huning & kinemortophobia. I like simple furniture like IKEA, and goat's textures are also nice (my favorite is the Heatland wood). Not sure how to explain my style so if you want, you can go check my downloads tag, pictures tag or my legacy posts!

Trade Off- Maron- Open

: maarons; April 29th, 23:56

Haven't done this thing in a while...

What I Can Make: I'm most comfortable with creating makeup and converting stuff from TS3, but I can also make object recolours
and simple retextures, as well as make walls&floors and the basic stuff aka. sims and houses. Be aware though I can convert
only simple objects- eg. no TVs except if you want them to be decorative. I make most of my stuff decorative, so you better be not
much of an actual player! Check out my downloads to get the point

-http://maron-downloads.tumblr.com/

My General Style: Realistic/semirialistic. Observe. I like orient and fancy as well as modern an minimalistic- I mix those two together, it's my style actually!

Amount of Participants I Want: 3

What I'd Like to Receive: I looove conversions from other games! <3 But that's a bit tricky to do so here's a list of things I approve of:
-objects retextures
-hair retextures
-floors(stone, tiles, parquet)
-walls(tiles, carved stuff, wooden planks)
-new meshes in regular(objects, clothing, hair)
-thick eyebrows
-makeup

My favourite colours are: white, beige tones, grey tones, black, teal, turquoise, olive green, dark wood

My favourite objects are: mirrors, plants, vases, lamps, sofas, endtables, drawers, curtains(SHEER)

Trade-off - Trapping - Closed

: trappingit; April 25th, 22:03

What I Can Make: I can make pretty much anything in Bodyshop and HomeCrafter as well as some basic objects.
My General Style: Modern and minimalistic (think IKEA and H&M). Semi-realistic/semi Maxis-match.
Amount of Participants I Want: Let's go with two for now :) I'd be happy to trade with 2-5 more simmers, if anyone's interested. Three spots are still open, if anyone would like to do a trade. I'd love to do a few more trades (anything between three and five more), if anyone would like to :) Closed.
What I'd Like to Receive: Pretty much anything that'd suit my game, I suppose. I use stuff from pretty much all cathegories, but am especially fond of hairs, clothing, objects and walls/floors :3

Trade-off - Ilex - Open

: ilex_sims; April 16th, 11:31

I really miss the sims and I'm trying to get back into doing the things I love after some rl tragedy, so I thought this might be a nice way to do that. ^_^

What I Can Make: I'm comfortable with clothing retextures, makeup, hair retextures/gradients/streaking/alpha-editing, and most other bodyshop retextures. I can do a bit of mesh work with clothes, but I'm definitely more of a novice in that field. I'm always willing to try, though! ^_^ I can also make walls, floors, and buy/build mode recolors.
My General Style: I play a semi-realistic game in a variety of styles. Mostly modern, but I also dabble in 1920s, steampunk, and Victorian. Homestuck, Persona, and Final Fantasy-related content is always at home in my game. My monthly theme previews at GoS are a lot more indicative of my play-style than most of the pictures on my dreamwidth, but I'm always happy to provide more example shots.
Amount of Participants I Want: I think I'd like 3, please.
What I'd Like to Receive: Clothes for men, especially teen males, or kids of any gender would rock my socks. Any Homestuck-related content would also be much-loved, as would anything related to Final Fantasy 6/7/8 or Persona 1/2. I love makeup, especially layerable things. Ideally, I'd love someone to refine Legislacerator's troll horn accessories and convert them down for teens. I love build and buy mode things and most bodyshop stuff. My only request is please no eyes, because I'm quite picky and neurotic about them. I'm a total sucker for teen female clothes, and even though my adult female bin is stuffed, I have a sad addiction and will always make room for more. I also love Aquilegia's androgyny meshes and will always welcome recolors of those or new androgyny meshes. Lots and sims are, of course, welcome (lots especially; I'm a decent decorator but a terrible builder).

Thank you in advance!

Trade-off - Legislacerator - Open

: nihilistnailz; March 31st, 17:55

I really enjoyed my last trade-off and since I have a little free time and not too many projects I'd like to start another one. :)

What I Can Make: Hair retextures and recolors, clothing recolors and texture remixes, object recolors/retextures, new deco objects from preexisting meshes (like Oblivion conversions), sims, tiny lots (please be aware I have all EPs and M&G and cannot use AGS), shoe swaps…a little bit of everything, I sort of exemplify 'jack of all trades and master of none'.

My General Style: My style has changed a bit since my last trade - I now play a themed hood. Time period is roughly early-Victorian as far as nobility is concerned but there are a LOT of medieval, modern, and fantasy influences. A huge amount of Elder Scrolls influence as well, and a lot of pirates. As always, this is what my game looks like.

Amount of Participants I Want: Just two this time.

What I'd Like to Receive: First thing, The Wishlist. And The Wishlist 2.0 (needs PBK account to see thread). To get more general - if it could even remotely fit in my theme, I want it. I would love more clothing for some of the bodyshapes I use (listed at the first link). More male clothing and hair would be welcomed. Game conversions (Skyrim maybe?) would be loved, or recolors/addons to Adele or Buggybooz sets. I love wood flooring, and I can always use basic walls for exteriors or interiors. Anything purple or with seahorses on is an insta-win as well. I can make room for some modern content when it comes to Bodyshop things, but in terms of Buy Mode definitely nothing that would be found in the 20th century or require electricity...gas lights only here! Anything nautical or pirate themed is also much wanted.
I really don't need any female hairs, lips, or eyebrows - way too many already. Also note that while I welcome skins I don't use normal "human" tones anymore - fantasy colors on a spectrum are the only ones I use now.
