Throwing Fashion/Couture In Video Games

[deflyricist2006]

I don't know if any of you guys are familar with The Sims 2, a freakishly popular Life-Simulation Game, where you basically control a person. I have it, and a whole bunch of other people have it. I am also about to be an Advertising Major (or a Premedicine Major, as soon as I figure out what to do with my life, lol.) But anyway, I decided to take a dab at making advertisments for popular stores using the sims. And here is what I got so far:

Lol, thanks. I photoshopped all of these for a contest I am running, America's Next Top Model: Sims 2 Edition (i know, we are just bored), surpassing our real life counterpart with 7 seasons.

salvatore is an actual designer for the sims, my sister loves that game, she is addicted, it gets boring soo quick, watching somebody do what you can do, but i guess, getting a job and living a adult life when you are 13 is what makes it fun for her.

Yeah I've got a couple of stories and that uploaded on The Sims 2 website.

Thanks, I love Salvatore as well. I wish more people could replicate haute couture on the game though.

It's a fun game to create for, I must admit. Here's something I've worked on.

Yeah...I'm very interested as well....

Here are some tutorials that I've found. The first one is for the "meshing" part which is like the actual "structure" or base. The second ones are for applying the texture to meshes. It's really fun to be honest! I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, you can PM me.

Wow! I love your virtual fashion show!
Awesome job, you have put a lot of effort and detail into it.

Oh thank you!
My favorite part was remixing the music actually.

Its really inspiring... Almost like the real thing when you think about it. You have to make the dresses, create the make-up and hair, design the venue and runway, remix the music, and of course choose the models!


Maybe I will try to make a dress one of these days for my Sims...
