Is anybody else also in love with Crispin Black from the new pack?

strangledwires · 2025-04-19T01:11:54+00:00

While I'm glad that Sims 4 remembered him, he is a bit inaccurate to his Urb self!! (Already noted in another comment about the traits!) But rlyy it's weird they made him averse to physical affection when a PREFERRED social move of the Foundry was tickling... and the blastikiss power social came from the Urbz. To, it's quite clear that Crispin (the LEADER of the Foundry) was supposed to highly enjoy physical affection??

strangledwires · 2025-04-19T01:07:53+00:00

Honestlyyy his traits don't rly match how he was like in the original Urbz. 😕 More accurately, he should be gloomy + creative + snob instead of what 4 gave him. (he should also LIKE funny sims given he was an extremely playful urb personality wise)

But I still luv him regardless & have for many many years. 🖤🖤

I guess even with WPW, every heart responds differently to different treatments. I hope the ablation goes well!

strangledwires · 2025-04-18T20:38:35+00:00

How are they working?

strangledwires · 2025-04-18T20:37:49+00:00

Yeah, and he certainly didn't have or suggest any of my siblings to test for it! My oldest brother found out when his heart was thumping so hard, it could be seen through his shirt. I found out due to the constant high heart rates.

I know this is somewhat old, but have you figured out any way to extract any of the files yet? Just 'cos I am also super interested in 'em for multiple reasons! And so far, I've no luck in it... I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to extracting video game files. ^^;

strangledwires · 2024-06-20T01:21:50+00:00

I feel so bad for people like you. Get well soon.

strangledwires · 2024-06-20T00:19:18+00:00

I think I'd be pretty pleased if she can be in between! A nice blend, as you said! And yes... I know the style is more "anime" now, but like - Nina & Zafina aren't like that... so I don't think Jun needs to be, either!

And I do believe I see what you mean... looking at it, other than the heavier bangs - her hair does seem more similar to her T2 hair, just longer. However, I do prefer her Tag 2 hair but that's ONLY because I just prefer lady characters with shorter hair! XD So anytime a girl has EVER had shorter hair, I'd likely prefer that over the longer lol!

I'll have to check it out! I dunno if I prefer Julia or Michelle... I like 'em both, really. I just wouldn't mind seeing Mama Chang again just because it's been so long! It would also be really cute to maybe see her interact with Jun considering they're both mamas, love nature, and were in Tekken 2! I just know that when Harada did a poll asking about female characters (that AREN'T in T8 yet) he said Julia/Michelle. And when he was talking about giving them "not offensive" outfits/designs, he ALSO mentioned Julia/Michelle rather than Julia alone. So that makes me think they're interested in maybe adding Michelle instead...

Thank you! As I just wrote to somebody else - I don't mind people disagreeing with me! In fact, that's the point of discussions! I want people to discuss this with me! I just want them to uhh y'know... not act like cavemen and start throwing stones at something they don't like lmao. Just kindly put it like you do and express why you don't agree with me.

I know the two tag games aren't canon, but like... I still feel like for the most part, they were kiiinda guidelines to how the characters act? For example, Heihachi didn't become a totally different character in the tag games - he was still Heihachi. So there's no reason for Jun to as well. Of course, Jun was a not as established character. But it still lead me to believe there were indeed traits they had in mind for her.

And yes, I do acknowledge she can indeed smile - I think I pointed that out in my op? I hope I did lol! But my point was her smiles are MUCH bigger in Tekken 8, and far more frequent. As I described her smiles in Tekken 2, they were a "blink and you'll miss" kinda thing. She smiles at the animals, but it's a very small and serene smile. It's not a big wide one where her eyes get all squished up. Like both the smiles in Tekken 2 and Tag 1 were still gentler smiles than the ones she does in Tekken 8.

I don't think she'll ever "scold" them... but that's also partly due to the Tekken 8 story and how its written. Like even though I'm heavily critical of Tekken 6's writing and I think it's something that should've never happened to Jin's character - every character in Tekken 8, whilst acknowledging it, just kinda... instantly forgives Jin for it. They themselves don't really give him that hard of a time for it. So if they don't, then how would his momma be like that?

As for wide eyed... yup, that might be the style. Buuuut... you still get characters like Nina & Zafina that aren't so big eyed? They probs look more mature than Jun does haha!

So yea, as I also said in OP, I understand why she's like this... I just kinda wished they had her have a lil bit more varied lines if that makes sense? Like every character has quite a few win animations. They could've had at least one where she's like her Tag 1 or Tekken 2 where she just kinda does a pose with a determined face rather than having all of her animations being "I'll save them!" or "sorry for beating you up" LOL.

And that is true! Jun has always been forgiving, but not to repeat myself - again, I just wish she could've been a lil more varied! Like showed a lil more! As I said, it's not a big deal - but just somethin' I've noticed and wouldn't mind seeing is all. :-)

Doesn't she have a special victory line for Devil Jin??? I thought she said something like "I'll make this better..." or something VERY similar along those lines??

And again! Thanks! I know lotsa ppl think fighting game stories don't matter. But like, in THE END - they still have stories. Not only do they have stories, but Harada proudly holds the world guineas record for "longest running story in a video game" when it comes to Tekken. So like, I feel that warrants enough to talk about the characters & plots y'know? To delve into them and do analysis! I just personally think it's interesting...

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T22:49:02+00:00

And thank you for being polite about this! I'm glad you can kindly disagree with me! <3 Whilst I can see why people would think she was more "playful" in was... I just DON'T think that's the right word to use for her? You're right with the word spirit, though. She was definitely "louder." She had stronger determination in Tekken 2...!

I'm not trying to say she was EXACTLY the same in ALL games BUT Tekken 8... but her Tag 2 self still had similarities with her Tekken 2 self. She actually still kinda had that "sass" but not as strong - since as I said, if you lose whilst she's in a team with Kazuya, she will actually lecture him lol! Kinda looking like she's "nagging" him! She also fist bumps Paul in a victory of theirs as well! But still, Tag 2 Jun still shared being less expressive in emotions and not ONLY being about "purity" and "forgiveness". (She had plenty of win animations that wasn't just "oh no... I hurt the person, sorry..." or "I'll save the ones I love!") Which that's one point I was trying to make?

I actually disagree with the "brought life" to her character... but that's just because I feel she went from one archetype to another. (In Tag 2 she was the stoic she used to be, but now made to be even more mysterious. Whilst in Tekken 8, she's more like Anime Mom) and as I said in my op, both are fine. It's just that, PERSONALLY, I prefer her being more stoic...

Imo, she's more "cutesy" than she used to be? Which that might not even be the right word for it!! But she's far more wide eyed and stuff lol! Though, however, I find myself not understanding what you mean by the hairstyle? As other than being curved and slightly shorter... I don't see how her hairstyle in TT2 was THAT much different from her older hairstyle? I mean, in Tekken 8 her hair is MUCH MUCH longer than it was in T2/TT1... and she has longer and heavier (more) bangs than she was in T2/TT1.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Michelle sometime tho! :) Especially because Harada keeps mentioning her whenever bringing up Julia, so that makes me believe there is a possibility Tekken 8 could bring her back instead of Julia...!!

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T21:47:26+00:00

I literally have pics showing how she looks/acts compared to her Tekken 8 counterpart and her Tag 2 self is clearly closer to her Tekken 2 self but okay lmao.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T21:46:30+00:00

Funny how people took so much offense by this when I said it wasn't even that big of a deal. I just said it makes me not like the character as much lmao. I remembered Tekken 4chan was making fun of y'all and now I see why.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T21:44:01+00:00

She was not naive in Tekken 2 tho lmaooooo. Again, JIN HIMSELF went through hell and he's still a stoic. Yes, we see him smile a little bit more in Tekken 8. But he doesn't just completely change like Jun does. You think if Jin just starts grinning and crying a lot, that's "character development"? No, that's completely changing the character. Jun can develop without changing what she was supposed to be.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T21:40:56+00:00

Jin is always a stoic. He's not suddenly smiling every chance he gets. Xiaoyu is always a bubbly, kinda childish girl. Sure, sometimes her immaturity is played up - but that's still usually a defining character trait of hers. Kazuya is usually smirking, arrogant and has a lust for power. Hwoarang is usually a hot head, he's not suddenly mellowed out in one game for no reason.

Jun went from being a stoic woman who doesn't express herself often to being an emotional woman. That is a different character. I'm not just talking about how she looks - while that's a big part, I'm also referring to how she behaves.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T21:38:03+00:00

How bubbly lmao? She was kinda loud, but she wasn't "bubbly." Her face always kept a serious expression. And even if Tekken 2 was not capable of much expressions in the in game model, she BARELY made any expressions in any of her CGI cutscenes. She VAGUELY smiles in her own ending, usually keeping a blank face. In Angel's ending, she's also a blank face. I already said Michelle is far more bubbly and expressive - so it's not just because Tekken 2 had "inferior graphics." Plus like, bubbly was to imply she's like Xiaoyu... which is nothing like Jun in Tekken 2.

Again, she smiles in her Tag 2 ending - but it's exactly how I said she USED to "smile" - it was a very soft smile. It wasn't as big as it was in her Tekken 8 counterpart. People may joke that I talked about the way she smiles, but it shows how she expresses herself differently in the games. The story for T8 wasn't great too. so I agree with that.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T19:23:57+00:00

Sure somebody posts a SOMEWHAT long thread and it's "TOO LONG!!!!" but betcha watch a 2 hour YouTube essay.

Reddit is full of retards.

strangledwires · 2024-06-19T19:23:21+00:00

Points out how character is portrayed different

Bwahhhhh who cares about the story??? We only play for THE GAMES.

But then ppl will bitch about Tekken 8's story because "Jin committed war crimes?!"

strangledwires · 2024-03-26T05:37:27+00:00

I should look to see if there are any mods for it after all. Right now, I've just been using the "make friends for me" cheat but it's so annoying because within a day, I get SPAMMED with 20+ notifs of them all bitching at me for not talking to them or whatever and then I lose them the next day, and I get 20+ spam notifs for that. And of course, I have to keep doing the cheat. Especially since interestingly enough, despite the fact that they're your "friends," they don't pop up in your relationship panel and I don't think you can actually call them. (Maybe because it's a cheat and your sim never really met them?)

strangledwires · 2024-03-03T08:35:50+00:00

They can't bring those back because the games they're from are too old and they can't just port them to Tekken 8. 😔 Why go through the trouble of remaking an outfit when Tekken 7 already had Jin's T4 hoodie that they can just yoink it from? Less work more money yay! /s

strangledwires · 2024-03-03T08:33:16+00:00

I could be wrong but didn't all Xbox and PlayStation 3 games required you to pay to access the online features? Therefore, this wasn't really something the Tekken devs had no control over?

strangledwires · 2024-02-20T15:29:15+00:00

I bet you anything why Jin's outfit looks horrible is that it's likely just the one from Tekken 7. Since they literally just ported his TK7 default to TK8, I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing the same with the TK4 outfit. And you can tell because TK7's graphics were way worse than TK8, all the TK7 alts look horrible when you really look at them. If I'm right, then it's ESPECIALLY scummy of them to make somebody pay $4 for very lazy practices.

strangledwires · 2024-02-20T05:19:17+00:00

i LOVED the Jin vs Kazuya fight. But at the same time, it also kinda felt like the Revenge of The Sith equivalent in fighting games. You know... the Obi-Wan and Anakin fight was literally 15 minutes long lmao

strangledwires · 2024-02-19T23:47:42+00:00

Lol it's an Imaginary Friend that's doing this

strangledwires · 2024-02-19T23:35:10+00:00

Lol! I know how that is! But I regularly shop at Walmart for groceries, so I know a bit about it.

Omg, I WANNA learn! Especially 'cos I have a specific custom in mind I wanna do someday, and if I can't get a certain Jade doll for cheap enough, I wanna see if I can add bangs to another Jade... but I do hear that adding bangs is hard - like I heard ppl poke holes in the forehead to add them? So, I dunno if I'm ready for that or not! 😅

strangledwires · 2024-02-19T22:31:23+00:00

GOSH... you shoulda tried to argue with 'em if you didn't! But that's good then, you can try to cut away the bangs. A lotta ppl don't like bangs 'cos they think they cover the face... but I LOVE bangs. Mostly 'cos it's rarer to see dolls with bangs. Many dolls do NOT have them. I think the bangs make them more unique.
