I'm making Medieval characters in Sims 3 for the purposes of shenanigans and I need YOUR HELP! Basically, I don't have descriptions of all the characters, so if you want to ensure ~near-perfect accuracy~ for your character please help me out with a basic description to work from. =D Hairstyle and color, eye color, skin tone, face shape and body type, clothing style and color, would ALL be great things to know. Also, if you have any requests for personality traits you want them to have, tell me x3 I am going to be leaving career choice to the characters, though, because it's way more hilarious that way. I'm currently going off the list of characters on the roster, so if you've got someone you want in the Sims who's not on there, tell me so I can add them to my list! There will probably be a lot of anachronistic clothing, because I only have the base game and not a whole lot of medieval/fantasy-themed custom content. But if you know of any good free medieval-themed downloads, tell meeee 8D EDIT: Please tell me if you want to age up your teenage characters to young adults for more traits 'n stuff, because I can go either way.

*pokes my avatar*
Lucinda's eyes are a sort of olive green, strawberry-blonde hair usually worn in braids, pale skin tone, round face shape, petite body size, dresses in pastels.
I think you can probably figure out what traits would fit her best.

Ooh, neat. =D Ambrose and Alain both have refs in the second spoiler box of this post but they're black and white. Both have grey hair and blue eyes, though Alain's are lighter than Ambrose's. Their skin is pale, as befitting nobles, and body types are both fairly slender, though Alain's is muscular as opposed to Ambrose's gauntness. Their clothes are in the reference pictures and they mostly wear red, silver and blue, with browns and greys as appropriate. Personality, I think you can figure it out. ^^ I hope so anyway. If not, feel free to ask. EDIT: Poking through the Traits, I think I got some for them. Ambrose: Unlucky, Absent-Minded, Genius, Good, Friendly. Alain: Genius, Lucky, Brave, Charismatic, Workaholic. I tried to pick ones not from expansion packs but I missed one out, feel free to replace it with whatever you think is appropriate.

Morgaine is very short (4'6") with a pale complexion and black hair that's starting to go grey. (She usually covers her hair with some sort of sash, which I guess in sims would translate to a hat or bandana of some kind. XD ) Her eyes are light brown. She's stoutly built, but not fat. Clothing-wise she tends to dress very simply. In Medieval canon she NEVER wears pants, but my experience has been that Sims tends to have only tight cocktail dresses in the customizable options. Slacks might be a good anachronistic alternative. I really can't imagine her in blue jeans or shorts. XD I don't know how the allotment of personality traits goes exactly, but some that seem to fit her well are Handy, Outgoing, Brave, and Nurturing. Hope this helps!

*as most people here... pokes my avatar, or the following larger image:* It might be a bit difficult to get some of the options, though, considering she's, y'know... purple skin, huge ears, glowy eyes, etc. Trait-wise, you could probably figure out that she suits Loves the Outdoors, Loner, maybe Socially Awkward or Over-Emotional or Hopeless Romantic, but there seem to be a lot of traits like Night Owl, Dramatic, and Cat Person that aren't in the base game, so. >_> Also I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it if you give all the crackships the "Great Kisser" trait

Oooh, awesome! Full-sized Leiflet: Hair - Can't really see in the picture because I fail at drawing hair, but it's supposed to be a little curly. Eyes are blue. The thing under his left eye is a marking, basically like a tattoo. I'm not sure how well it could be recreated in Sims, I recall it being kind of a pain about doing something simple, so if it takes more than a few minutes, don't worry about it. I was going for something of a hooked nose for him, but again, fail at drawing =P Face and body are pretty long. The only particular thing about clothes is that yes, the dork does wear elbow-length gloves pretty much all the time (probably not while in pajamas or swimming. Probably not =P). For traits, off the top of my head "loner", "loves the outdoors", and "grumpy" would fit pretty well. =P Oh Leif, you charmer.

Oh boy! Jeniver: the-legendary-female.deviantart.com/art/Lady-Jeniver-of-Jade-457350561Traits... uh... idk. XD; All I can think of is childish, neat, clumsy maybe (always breaking furniture), and um... maybe technophobe because she's a Jade? She's young so hopefully you only need four. :'B Joffery... well, the only pic I have of him is this quick doodle-y one XD His hair is brown and his eyes are green, and other than that, he's um... handsome. XD You can decide specifics for appearance, I trust your judgment. :'B Traits, some good ones would be virtuoso, charismatic, flirty, snob maybe, and um... great kisser? Yeah, I'll go with that. XD

I'm no good with descriptions, but I can try.
Elin: 16 years old (but can probably age up to Young Adult), dark-skinned, a little bit shorter than average, rather skinny, but fairly well-toned (works as a butcher, grew up working on a farm), brown eyes, black hair long enough to pull back into a short ponytail
At the Feast, wore a nicer, but simple dress. I can't decide on a color though. (Depends on the availability of dyes back then, I guess. I need to look it up.) In general, wears a simple brown peasant tunic and an apron stained with blood, unless she's off the job, then she wears a simple brown peasant tunic that's not stained with blood. (Or maybe simple dresses.) (As of next round, I'm considering having her wear a cloak around, but that's more due to circumstances.)
Your sketch of Elin earlier is pretty close to what I had in mind, even if in black-and-white.
Traits: Brave, Good, Loves the Outdoors, and... Hmm, it's up in the air between Workaholic, Neurotic, and Grumpy for the last one. Something that makes her a bit more stressed. (Maybe Neurotic? Unfortunately, none of them are perfect fits.)
Clare: 33 years old, dark-skinned, a little staunch, average height, well-toned (stronger than Elin), brown eyes and black hair that she cuts short
Generally wears a simple brown peasant tunic.
Traits: Athletic?, Brave, Good Sense of Humor ...Not sure what else
...Traits are hard. xD If you think a different trait works better, go for it; you probably know Sims traits better than I do.
I'll edit more if I think of more.

Haha, this sounds like a fun idea! xD I have an Aldrich sketch at the bottom of this post. But, generally, a roundish face with a little stubble/very small beard. His eyes are pale brown, as is his (balding) hair, though you can never tell because of white dust. (So I suppose you can just make it white. xD) White tunic, pale grey leggings, and brown boots. All covered in white sculpting dust. That's easy to do in the Sims creator, right? *brick'd*For traits, I guess Unlucky and Savvy Sculptor for sure. And maybe Green Thumb (not because I think he'd be great with plants, but just because it's the closest thing to bringing things to life as I'm gonna get). And maybe Socially Awkward or Handy? Not sure. xD In general, you can just improvise and have fun, really. =D

Ooh, it would be really cool if you want to make Corinne too. ^^
I don't have a reference, but I can give you a description, I hope that's enough. Technically she's 17, but you can make her either a teenager or a young adult, whatever you see fit. You know the painting of The Girl with a Pearl Earring? That's kind of how I imagine her, as far as facial features go. She has blue eyes and medium length straight blonde hair, and is pretty average in build.
As for traits, probably Party Animal, Friendly, (Unstable sounds perfect with Corinne's delusions, but apparently it's from an expansion ;-; ), Over-Emotional, maybe Slob? I don't know how many you need, but if you need more, feel free to give her whatever you like. XD
Will you be showing us the Sims you make? =D

Sounds awesome! For Clarissa, you can see my avvie. To be more specific, here's the description I gave Kristykimmy for the avvie picture: Clarissa is a young woman, in her late teens or possibly her early twenties. She's fairly short and skinny. The muscles in her arms and shoulders are strong from years of metalworking, but because of her small frame they aren't too defined. She has deep, darkish blue eyes and very dark brown (almost black) hair. Her hair is around medium-length, and she keeps it up in a ponytail to keep it out of her face. When I picture her I tend to waffle back and forth between her having a soft-featured face and a sharp-featured one, so you can draw the face shape as you see fit ^^ Her skin tone is a slightly bronzed tan, I guess you could say -- basically Caucasian, but looks like she might have a tan. Hope that makes sense ^^; As for clothing, you can probably guess what I'm looking for from my post. Being a peasant, Clarissa doesn't have much in the way of different outfits so she pretty much wears her blacksmithing garb (loose white shirt, trousers, simple boots and a thick leather apron) all the time. She'll actually generally take the apron off when she's not working, but for the image I figure she'd look more interesting with it on =P Additionally, for formal wear Clarissa does have a simple dress, so do with that what you will ^^ Traits are hard XD The best combo I can come up with is Friendly, Ambitious, Perfectionist, Excitable, and Handy. I really wish there was a trait that showed off her snarky side without making her a jerk, but alas ;_; (She sounds so perky with this list of traits, oh dear XD)
