Alrighty, everyone. I hope you're all having a great summer so far (unless you live in Australia where it's winter-time right now). Let me present to you the first challenge on TheBigTradeOff. Me and Kayleigh have been pondering and planning on this for several weeks already and I think we're both happy to see it finally happening.
As the title says this is a makeover-challenge. Under the cut you will find Sims made by Kayleigh, Simbic, Yuichen and myself. It's up to you to pick a Sim and then proceed to make this Sim over in whichever way that suits you. But what fun would this be if there wasn't some kind of twist? You have to make some kind of content especially for the Sim you're making over. It can be anything from a piece of clothing, an eye recolor, makeup or hair re-texture. As long as it's specially made for that Sim, it's approved. This custom-content will then be shared when you post pictures of your made-over Sim. It doesn't matter if it's a set or a single item ^_^
Of course there is a participation-prize that will be sent out to everyone who participates (more about that below the cut). Let's get on to the Sims, shall we?

Rules:
- You choose how many Sims you want to give makeovers, but you can only use the same Sim once. So there's a maximum of 4 makeovers that you can make.
- You're not allowed to change the facial structures of any of the Sims. Neither are you allowed to change their colors (meaning skin color, hair color or eye color). You can change the content, but keep the colors as similar as you can.
- Of course you can use custom content by others than yourself when you make over your Sim(s). The only requirement is that at least one of the items you use to make over your Sim is made by yourself especially for that Sim.
- The custom content that you make for your Sim can't have been shared anywhere else earlier. It has to be something new that you've made for that Sim.
- Three pictures is the maximum that you can use to show off your made over Sim and the special content you made for it.
Participation prize(s) which will be sent out to the ones who participates once the challenge is over:

Special content: Hair Recolor, Shirt Texture Edit, and New Meshed Bottoms.
Short description: She's kind of a poser. Her hair was once long and flowing, she used to wear long shimmery dresses, and her favorite kind of music was pop. But after an unfortunate bleaching accident, she had to chop a lot of her hair off and so she's trying to redefine her image. She's being a little stereotypical, really, but she thinks it's working out pretty well.

the downloads include the content + the sim as they appear in my pictures because I didn't see any rule against it...sim files are labeled with their original creator's name. I took the liberty of giving them names. If this isn't allowed, I will fix the files.

Short description: Ida Jensen is your typical next door girl. She likes to dress up for a night on the town, but she won't say no to a quiet night on the sofa in pajamas and a tub of ice cream. She would love both a camping trip and a trip around the world for the holidays, and won't say no to neither burgers or the finest beef. The only downside to her apparent perfection is that she suck at making decision, and if it was up to her to choose between A and B, with the world in the balance, we would all die.

Short description: The eldest daughter of a wealthy businessman, Renna never really fit into daddy's cookie cutter lifestyle. Where her sisters and mother were meek little flowers trapped in the fifties, she had a dry humor and free spirit that shamed them all. But she was okay with that. Better to be a loner and think for yourself than a mindless sheep bleating at the gate.
