Get Rekt, Sarah.

(Semi) Tutorial : Notes and Tips for Trans Sims

Xan here! What started as me trying to figure out a mesh turned into…this. I’m sure someone else has written guides on the topic, but I couldn’t find them, so I put this together. I made it mostly for my own reference–I keep forgetting which tags to use–but I thought I’d share in case anyone else might find it useful. (Requires: Sims 4 Studio)

You’re a rebel by accident cause you get really animated when you talk and hit people in the face leading to fights. Now you just roll with it. I know the truth though.

Totally saw you spray paint the principals car and you’ll have to buy me dinner to keep me quiet.

I pretty much live in detention and you’re a straight A student here on your first offense. Wanna add another and skip detention with me?

I’m a super tough punk who hates authority. Your parents are cops who have met me more than once but I like you a lot.

Me and my buddies vandalized your backyard trampling your mini garden in the process. Now I feel really shitty cause you’re really upset about this. Look I’ll help fix it okay just stop with the sad faces.

Accidentally knocked you out when you got caught in the middle of a fist fight between me and this other kid during school. So I sat with you in the nurses office. Shut up! Punks like me have consciouses to you know!

You’re always picking fights and I’m the one who has to use my charm and way with words to stop them from getting out of hand.

You’re a police officer and I’m constantly in and out of holding/jail and we get to know each other well so sometimes you give me my favorite treats when no ones looking.

I’m always fighting and getting in trouble at school so people avoid me. You frequent the small ice cream shop my parents own and know how kind I am to children and elderly people but I don’t realize this.

You give me a piggy back ride (or ride home) after I got out of a brutal fight and can barely stand.
