Selfmade vacation sims
abelle:
I am a little late at BV, as I thought I am not interested in my sims going on vacations, but I recently caved and got it anyway. Now thanks to Argon I have blessedly empty vacation locations that I have to fill myself.
I already populated the asian location by downloading some normal looking asian sims which I made have children in CAS. I am very pleased with how they turned out and had to force myself to make them into locals instead of playing them. I searched for japanese names on the web and the sims really seemed different than those I normally make.
I am a little stumped on what ethnicies to base the other two groups of locals on. The lakes location does make me think of Canada somewhat and the beach one gives a polynesian feeling.
So I am asking for inspiration. What did you base your locals on? I hope it is okay to post this here. Maybe someone wants to share their locals?
Here is a picture of my asian locals:
I hope I didnīt bork anything by making them related in CAS.

Canadians wear either the hiking clothes (with backpacks at all times), or look like Eskimos. When in Eskimo costume, the sim should always have some sort of fish accessory, if not a real fish, secreted somewhere about his person.
Formalwear is usually something with a tiara to make us look more like the Queen. (I know that the Queen generally does not wear a backpack, but we can't let a little thing like that stop us.). Alternate formalwear would be a Mountie uniform, but this should only be worn by people who can sing (sims with high creativity, I suppose).
I personally never learned the slap dance, but I grew up outside of Canada.
This started as a joke, but I'm beginning to like the idea...

Ok, than I might have to download the fish replaces pillow thing and have the mountain sims constantly pillow-fish-fighting. ;)
Seriously though, I planned to just put some generic sims in the mountain clothes. I thought about a bavarian theme but somehow the location felt more northern than bavaria to me. I realise this is not really important, but as I never make asian sims it was nice that the locals I made for that destination felt very different from my sims who are going to be tourists there. The slapdance actually is quite similar to the "Schuhplattler" which is a bavarian folklore dance. Maybe I will go with this theme after all. At least I know a lot of stereotypes about bavarian people.
I donīt know any Canadian stereotypes. I guess I could do some research, starting with where in the world people greet each other by pounding their chests. :P

Eh? Where in the world don't people greet other with a good chest pounding?

I made my mountaineers an inbred family in plaid and dungerees though I could perhaps have done something more British. mmmm. I went with the blindingly obvious I'm afraid. Sort of generic Eastern for the Far East location and Polynesian for Twikki Island.
