Ziggy Atkins - A Hobo by TVRdesigns

Introduction
So.. I have never done sims before, and to be honest, I never had any interest in doing so. But in the last week and a half, I've been creating a lot that was for a hobo, and I couldn't find any really cool ones, so I thought "how hard could it be to do this"? Turns out that its not terribly hard, at least in my view, but it IS time consuming. So yeah, I finished the sim, after what seemed like forever, and I set to making the set to take the pictures. The set took longer than the sim did, and it was just one side of the buildings, with some hidden room markers behind to make them look completely finished.

When I was sculpting him, I wanted to emphasise his life within his facial features, I think i did that, with the constant sad eyes and mouth, the nose, if you look at it, looks like it has been broken a few times, and his clothing, as you can see from the screenshots, has led a hard life. I tried to make all the clothing a bit worn, but the actual bases for the 'Formal' catagory were being really difficult, so that might explain why it looks just a little out of place.

Anyways, I really had fun making him, and I think I will be uploading sims from now on, as well as lots. I still don't like playing though.. :P

His mother, without income, was forced to move out of their house, and to the mean streets of Sunset Valley. Fast forward 20 years of street violence, death and cotton candy, Ziggy is scarred. With nowhere to turn, he lays down in the gutter to wait for death. Suddenly, he hears a voice. He follows it. This is where you come in. Will you make Ziggy's dreams come true, a family, a home? Or will you lead him away from the voice, back down the path he left behind. The choice is yours. *dramatic music plays*
