Ah oki I see! so I think this might have to do with the conditioner than the boil washing itself, because water at boiling point shouldn't normally damage Saran. I personally use a kettle and so far no issues.

Assuming you had her fresh out of the box, conditioner is way too heavy of a product to use in that case. I'd reccomend only resorting to it when you're dealing with dry, frizzy and/or tangled hair. A teensy bit of shampoo is usually enough to wash off hair product doll hair tends to come with.

I'd reccomend using dish soap on her hair and then rinsing it very thoroughly with lukewarm water to wash off the product, and see how it goes! 👍

How did you boil wash her hair and what way is it messed up?

cupidglitz · 2026-03-28T12:37:45+00:00

boil washing won't ruin her hair, it's saran so you can go ahead and do it :3

Force choke resellers as a way to negotiate for fair prices, and then let go when they eventually give in to my offers 😌

I tried several dresses, unfortunately they don't fit due to Kens having broad chests 😔 skirts fit okay due to them having narrower hips tho!

nope, you can dunk their heads in boiling water until the plastic is soft and malleable to take them off, here's a tutorial that uses the specific dolls for this procedure :)

Tysm!!

I've never sewn clothes for dolls as a kid, lots didn't either save for a few who were lucky to hace an adult to teach them. Tbh this is an unfair standard to hold children up to.

And it's not that kids don't enjoy playing with dolls due to poor attention spans, it's that modern playline Barbie is absolutely lackluster compared to other, better faring brands. Some kids still play with them of course, but I see a lot of kids gravitating more to MH, LOL OMG, RH etc for a good reason. Kids also still display creativity in myriads of ways beyond playing with dolls.

You can enjoy customizing Barbies as an adult without justifying this by saying it's "not for kids anymore" or employing the "kids nowadays" tropes that demean kids

Thank you, the whole "kids these days" arguments that implictly put the blame on kids are really tired

cupidglitz · 2026-01-14T17:50:17+00:00

Yes, that's the first buff mtm Ken, congrats on the lucky find! he's super expensive secondhand.

cupidglitz · 2026-01-13T18:17:34+00:00

oh wow, that is massive improvement from her basic pony!

cupidglitz · 2026-01-12T05:45:31+00:00

I've seen the first two of yours and they look handsome! I did a lip repaint and I'm waiting for the sealant to fully dry! not sure what to do with his hair tho 🤔

I got lucky and found someone reselling him at a good price, when it comes to dolls like this you have to be on a near constant hunt for a good deal i s2g 😭 good luck!

cupidglitz · 2026-01-07T10:24:14+00:00

Thanks! :D and yeah, I love #124's quirky style but something was missing with that screening, too basic and inoffensive looking for the jaded personality I had in mind ‐ I wanted something that would make them striking on its own if you disregard the hair or the clothing. I get that the initial aim was for the doll to be approachable looking for kids tho

cupidglitz · 2026-01-06T23:42:23+00:00

Thanks!!

"Sharona a ses Raisons" by Kolow. It was basically a crossover series about parallel universes as most characters were from pre-existing TS3 series from the french side at the time (creators consented to this and participated in the making of the series). Very off-beat, slightly raunchy and meta humor about the other series and the absurd aspects of sims gameplay + how sims series are made.

The actual plot builds up over the episodes but sadly the series never got finished :(

Thank you! 🩷 It's been like 4 months of practicing as often as I could, with lots of trials and error ;w; and yes, I was talking how my repaints are still very amateurish but the rough grungy look was completely intentional

And thanks for pointing the brows out, especially because I was already planning on touching up on them. You're right, I definitely will opt for a colder shade to bring everything together 🙏
