I'm not sure but didn't MTS offer a special feedback/help forum for meshing? (This? ? :S)
I wished I could help you... But I really admire your creations and this will be awesome as well

Please feel free to correct me, if I make mistakes. I want to improve my English. Thanks! - My website

Thanks, you guys I usually do find meshing info I need here on the site (that's Creator Issues you've linked to, Shine - meshing help is in the Create Forum section ), but I gave up on that hair and decided to edit that wavy mid-length hairstyle that comes with OFB, for my Lorraine. I have a very rough version of George (1955.) here:





I'm still trying to get good screencaps for reference, so sorry if these are not very helpful.

George is very recognisable already! From what I can see, can you bring the height of the 'corners' of his jaw up? And if there's a way to alter the depth of his nose bridge in TS2, that needs to be a bit more sunken in to. Sorry, again my memory fails me on TS2 sliders! IIRC, you said there wasn't a way to alter the rotation of the ears?

Thanks, Becca! Yeah, getting George recognizable was relatively easy, because he has such a distinctive face (lots more work to do before he's done, though). I made the changes, but didn't take the pics yet. Anyway, I'm having troubles with Biff, he's kinda almost recognizable, but not really...I started over a couple of times, and thought I should just post here:





Also, a hoverboard. I started two days ago, so it's still pretty lame. I hate mapping it, though, and I have loads more of it ahead. Anyway, just so you can see how I'm doing:

Firstly with Biff, the face seems close, except the face needs more width and roundness and the ears wider, With the nose it needs to be thinner and longer. With George the jaw is just off... its too sharp, also the nose its too smooth, the final is the ears they need to be wider.

I think Biffs skin looks too perfect, he looks like he has a few pox marks and acne in the real photos, anyway that it can be not so perfect? Otherwise as with everything you do, absolutly fantastic!!

p.s family guy had an episode on tonight of stewie being the doc, and mjf was trying to tell him of the future, made me think of your awseome creations lol.

I am suuuuuuuuuper excited for the next installment of BTTF sims!

Also, GLOVERGASM. I tried to make a Crispin Glover sim once, but simming isn't my area of expertise...I'm sure yours will be much better!

Fantastic job! I was wondering if there is a way to rise the inner corner eyes of Lorayne a bit and and to thin and light her brows a bit?

Thanks for the feedback, guys!! I'm working on all of the suggested changes and will have the updates soon. I got carried away with meshing Doc's yellow coat outfit, and working on re-creating the lab with BTTF game objects (will try to do the first movie as a Sims comic), so I've neglected the sims themselves a little.

Why has this only now showed up in my subscribed threads?!?!?! I missed so much. Everyone looks wonderful misty, I agree with all the feedback provided, not sure if I can add much more. For George, a nose tip mask may work. He has a bit of an indent on the tip of hios nose, which you can see better in this pic: http://www.moviewallpaper.net/wpp/C...paper_2_800.jpg I swear that man doesn't age!

And if you do a comic, I will owe you like the rest of my life. I may die as a result of all this epicness.

I KNOW RIGHT?
I got to see his show in February (he does a dramatic reading, shows one of his films, has a Q&A and does a signing) and I had the chance to talk to him - or rather, my mum did. The film wasn't exactly...family-friendly, and she wasn't too happy. She was polite about it and all, but the whole time, I was just standing there, like...ohmygodohmygodohmygod he's soooooooooooo awesome...STOP TALKING MUM YOU'RE RUINING HIS AWESOME!

Anyway, the point I was trying to make...
My mum said afterwards that she'd been looking at Crispin's face trying to spot ANY wrinkles or signs of aging...but there WERE NONE. She's about the same age as him, too - almost 50!

I'm so glad I was able to stop myself from reaching out and touching his nose.



Good lord.

I am sincerely sorry for fangirling all over this thread. I'll stop.

Well, I'll try.

Fangirling is completely allowed in this thread, so don't worry, Fee That's such a cool story! It really is a bit creepy how he doesn't seem to age all that much at all. And aren't all mums the same? LOL.

Vampy, I'll work on the nosemask and post the update then. And doing a comic would be awesome, but there are bazillion things I need to do before I even start. When I finish up the Doc's lab, I'll do the first scenes of the movie, hopefully. I have no idea how and if I'll be able to re-create the Hill Valley town square, but I'll try. You guys made me a bit too ambitious, I think

Okay, so I still have to work on the nose and eyebrows, and the ears will have to be fixed in MS (because I'm stupid and I always start with the wrong template), but I thought I should post a small update anyway:

All hail Misty!
I am away for a couple of weeks and all this awesomeness happens? I am so suing the internet company's bottocks!
They all look freaking amazing! Bif's nose looks a bit..balloonish at the moment, especially his nose tip. Maybe make his nose a tad less wide?
He looks really good so far, I even got the urge to punish him straight in the nose! (and other things I won't mention...)

Divi! I wondered where you disappeared! Welcome back!

Okay, so I've been bad and haven't been working on the sims as I promised I would Instead, I worked on setting up the lab...Please ignore the boolpropped windows, some floating clocks and occasional wonky mapping (and the Maxis bed is just a placeholder):

Yea, TellTale Games did such a great job re-creating Doc's place as accurate as possible and you only get to see it for like, first five minutes of the first game episode - which is a shame. It's so nice to see it in the Sims

By the way, somebody already made Hill Valley Town Square. It's on here, if I remember correctly.

The lab is, like, awesome.

EDIT: Linky linky!

Good heavens - what is this thread of awesome? Everytime I come past I am shocked by the latest things

Re George - yea, its his hair - there is a nice hair in AL that might look good - sort of slicked back and flat on the head. The one you have there is a bit floppy.

I know I know, should be on the sculpt, but hair is important too.

Re Biff - I like Biff just as he is. I wouldn't change him a bit.

Yus, hair is -very- important - it can make a huge difference. I was thinking to edit this hair, but I'm gonna check how that AL hair would look (I can't remember which one is it, but I'll know when I see it). I made some changes to Biff, nothing major, but I think it helped.

Fee, thanks, I've grabbed that courthouse already Gonna make a new clock for it. And the little shops by the road! Gah. I shall cross that bridge when I get to it though Meanwhile, I have to figure out why have I spent two hours last night importing stuff into SimPE, only to not have it show up in-game at all (Fixed integrity, GUID, everything as usual...gonna do it over, in case I was doin' it rong) /rant

Updates on the sims coming in an hour or two (Jeniffer included - I have serious troubles with that one. I just can't make "conventionally pretty" people), when my little dude goes to take a nap and stops trying to break my nose with the mouse. And stops pressing on/off button on the monitor.

As I said, Jennifer is being a pain to do. I'm doing a Claudia Wells, because it seems people generally like her better as Jen than Elizabeth Shoe. By the way, did you know Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty? (the original choice was still MJF, but wasn't available at that time) If you haven't heard the story, here it is (there's footage even).





Yes, yes, the hair and the clothes are completely wrong, but I can't work on her bald and naked Will be making the clothes and finding a suitable hair after the face is done. If you have any suggestions on what hair to use, please feel free to say so - I really could use some help. This is actually one of the first versions, since I had to revert back after smudging her up completely.

Lorraine (I'm working on her hair, so this one is used only while I work on the face) and Biff:

For Jennifer's hair, I would suggest the OFB "Mid Wave Mature" hair (link to example - a recolor within may work for the color too) at least as a base. The OFB hair is not as feathered/fluffy.

I don't mind if you call me "MSD" or something for short.
Perhaps someday I'll have leisure time back...

Lorraine's looking really good! One thing - her dimples look a bit unnatural. I think they're too dark. I think it's the same with Biff...and the point on his forehead is kind of weird. I really love all these sims already, though - they have so much character! Jennifer's eyebrows are perfect, BTW.

OHMYGOD.
The first episode of Telltale's BTTF game for the PC is FREE! You're right about the lab! It's awesome! Now, I know you say you don't do requests, but while you're still working on all this BTTF stuff, would it be possible to get a Sims 2 version of some of Marty's room decor? I saw that Weird Science poster and I was like, "John Hughes? Back To The Future? Cool, cartoony art style? VIDEO GAMES?"

Okay, maybe I'm only after that poster.

Yay, glad you like the game!! It's awesome - I wish it wouldn't be as easy, but everything is really nicely done. I'm sure you'll want to play the rest of the game too, once you finish the first free episode

I'll be working on BTTF stuff for a while, since I have this silly comic thing (possibly a simmish movie trailer too, but I'm getting way ahead of myself) in my mind (the voices are telling me I have to do it. And a fish.) The poster should be really is to do, so no problem there - I'll whip it up for ya sometime next week

MSD - Yes, was thinking of that hair as a base, both for Lorraine and Jennifer
