Jane Lane in the Membrane: Jane Lane Quotes on Tees

I know what's wrong with the world today. It's a lack of 90's cynicism and bizarre horror pop art.

For those who don't know, Jane Lane was the artsy sidekick of Daria Morgendorffer, the titular character from MTV's classic 90's hit, Daria. Jane often provided the darkly humorous counterbalance to Daria's altruistic and/or sarcastic deadpan observations regarding the fictional town of Lawndale and its quirky caricatures denizens.

Jane saw the humor in things. And that's why I'm starting with three of her quotes. I'll eventually get to many of the other characters, but, in the meantime, you'll have to contend with Jane's wisdom.

The shirts are both male and female and teen-Y/A. There's one male shirt with three quotes. And there are TWO female shirts -- the crew tee and the layered long sleeve -- with the same three quotes. Both shirt styles come in the aforementioned female ages. Savvy?

Below, I will detail the quotes. (Keep in mind that each quote comes with ALL the different ages and genders I explained.)

Quote 1: "I like having low self-esteem; it makes me feel special."


Katya is modeling the female teen crew neck example.

Quote 2: "Gee, you may join the human race after all." 

This would be the YAF long, layered tee.

Quote 3: "Darn. And it came so close to being semi-decent."

And here is an in-game example:

I've Got Stripes: Color Block Skirts for Teens

Teens definitely need more custom clothing service. And now that teenagers actually have stuff to do in-game (thanks to Generations), that's all the more true. So, I come bearing skirts for teen females.

Our first model, Brigitte is wearing a bold color block miniskirt with button details. The preset is an electric blue, as pictured, but there are three recolourable channels.

This buttons on this skirt have a sort of pearlescent quality to them. To give them a more matte look, color them darker. If you don't like the buttons at all, they pretty much disappear if you coordinate the color to match with the stripes.

Download the first skirt here.

Our second model, Siran, is wearing the second skirt set, which features thick horizontal stripes. The second skirt comes with two design presets, which are slightly different from one another.

The first skirt has less stripes, but thicker ones. The top stripe, which is thicker than the others, acts like a waistband. The preset is pictured, an electric purple and black combo.

The second preset is a dark, dark dusky pink. This preset differs from the first in that all the stripes are the same size, and that there are more of them. Download the second skirt (including both presets) here.

Misc. Unimportant Details

I'm a fashion design student. One of the first things you learn about how fabric lays on the body is stripes. I wanted to avoid the fake look of a photoskinned color block skirt that's just pasted on the body with no regard for the way the fabric actually lays on the body, and warps according to the body's natural curves. So, I made the color block print the way a real fabric designer would. When the fabric is laid flat, the stripes are perfectly even, flat, rigid, etc. The warping you see is the way it is actually laying on the Sim's body, which makes it look more natural.

Work-in-Progress: Stencils on Tees

So, my current WIP is putting stencils on tees. As I mentioned before, I am new at the whole creating custom content thing, so I'm learning from the ground up. Right now, stencils.

I made some stencils to use. They looked fine in GIMP, but they look off in-game. The images are more narrow than they're meant to be, the words are kind of pixelated and have some unknown white stuff around them that, while I can't see it at all in GIMP, is definitely there in CAS.

The other issue I'm grappling with, I will own, is completely my fault. I cannot figure out how to change the presets of the shirts. Like that picture, before I fixed it in CAST was like...that purple shirt with the weird diagonal pattern. (You know what I'm talking about.) Ideally, I want to change the patterns of the shirts that the stencil is on, so by default, the presets work better with the pattern. I like the shape of the shirt, etc, but that purple pattern is so vile, it really detracts from any kind of stencil.

So, I'mma keep working on how to fix it. Feel free to shout out any suggestions.
