[CW: SUGGESTIVE OUTFIT]
I didn’t know if I was gonna post this originally, because suggestive stuff isn’t really up my alley, but here we are. Sketch was good, lineart was good, and the rendering wasn’t half bad so I’m throwing this to the void
Those fancy designer bunny suits are gorgeous, I’ve been looking at a lot of them recently just to see how people add to the original base of it, people get really creative it’s so neat!
I was originally gonna draw Rue but I’m trying not to draw them as much to reign in spoilers where I can, soooo I was left trying to somehow fit a suit over poor Solar Flare, it was like trying to dress up a toaster lmao
[ID: A digitally drawn image of Solar Flare from the Working for E.V.I.L. AU wearing a bunny suit and tipping over a serving tray of various alcoholic beverages, they give a nervous smile, blush on their cheeks. The background is transparent. Solar Flare is a boxy, orange, brown, and light yellow robot with a circular head, bent sun-like rays and large triangular shoulder pads. The outfit consists of a dark purple button up bunny suit, combined with a skirt, bow tie, and a rabbit eared-headband of the same color. /End ID]

The lovely @satanlikedmymoxie tagged me to post a selfie 💕✨
Here's this from the other day because I think it's funny. I'll tag @requiem-of-a-wraith @prxttypeony and @faeriedreams (if they wanna!)

Okay, they're here! WSOs for better-looking fat male sims, based on ambodypoloshirtoverhang (as sugested by @episims). These are meant to cause minimal texture stretching and can be used for full body outfits (ambody_Morphs_Clothed) and long, untucked tops (which is most tops) (amtop_Morphs_Clothed). I wouldn't use these for bottoms or tucked tops though, since the waist placement differs from standard Maxis fat waist (which is the source of texture stretching). Preg morph is included as well, and based on ambodymaternitycomfy. In my testing, morphs still needed some manual edit to look really smooth™, but I think these still look decent enough to share.

THESE ARE RESOURCES FOR CREATORS!
As a general rule for WSOs: the more similar your base and reference meshes are, the better results will be. In this case, the reference mesh is 2K polys. Results will be better if you use a high "number of interpolation points" (the highest value posible is 10 in the version of the Mesh Toolkit I have).
I made a bunch of morph edits while testing these, which you can have if you want. Most of them are pictured below.
Blond sim is preg, black-haired sim is fat.
MDP 4t2 Denim Shirt.
MDP 4t2 Shirt Collared.
MDP 4t2 Button Down Open.
MDP 4t2 Half Tucked Shirt.
WBP 4t2 Pullover Loose.
WBP 4t2 Sweater Jacket (this one is for Will :P).

These are just the meshes; you need to download the recolours from the links above.
I swear I will update my default replacements at some point 👉👈
Please let me know if there's anything wrong with these, I've never made a WSO before (it was suspiciously easy), and I'm very far from being an expert mesher. Anyway. Enjoy! Credit and thanks go to Maxis, Epi and Lifa.

Yarragardee Basin, Mangala, 7995 A.D.
------------------------
Accompanying music: You’re On Fire by They Might Be Giants. Summer road trip music of all time, in my opinion.
Here’s a little expository write-up on the history and geography of the worlds shown here. Someday I’ll have more to show of the personal story of these two critters and their travels; until then, a more macro-level description.
------------------------
Mangala and its sister world Kahira (visible in the background) are binary planets, orbiting one another in a manner not entirely unlike that of Pluto and Charon in the Solar System. Mangala is a relatively small world - just about twenty percent the mass of the Earth, something like if you took two copies of Mars and smushed them together; it was a frozen, dusty, and arid place when transhumanity first established a permanent presence in the Tahoka system some four hundred years ago. Since those early days, terraforming using a Birchian soletta system (a huge but foil-thin Fresnel lens of mirrors, with a secondary focal lens for burning atmospheric gasses out of the regolith) has rendered it shirtsleeve habitable to baseline humans across much of the surface, although the global water inventory remains low* and the air in the “continental” uplands is stratospheric, with only the hardiest lichens establishing a foothold. Most of Mangala’s major metropolitan areas are located in the deep rift valleys and basins, where air pressure is highest.
Kahira, on the other hand, is arguably** too small for effective terraforming, having only a third the mass of its sister world (a little over the mass of Mercury). Some of its larger rift valleys and craters have been tented over, aerated, and planted with tall low-gravity forest and grassland, a style of habitat construction dating back to the first Mars colonists almost six thousand years ago. Industrial complexes and underground cities sprawl out across the bare surface of the moon, with huge low-gravity lava tubes seeing extensive urban development.
The Yarragardee Basin, pictured above, is a graben basin in Mangala’s northern hemisphere, notable for the historic industrial city of Tirupati - here we see two road-trippers between cities on the basin’s great plain, taking a break in the long late afternoon of a sunset-day***. Having stopped for a night at a motel near Tirupati’s aerospace complex, they’re now continuing their journey to the city of Redmond-Tonasket, located in the Woronora Valles trench system about two thousand kilometers to the southwest.
* While plenty of water could have been imported from Tiandonias’s cometary halo, it was decided not to do so in order to avoid inundating pre-existing cities in the valleys and deep basins. The extremely humid hothouse conditions that come after slamming dismantled ice moons through the stratosphere at over six kilometers a second were also broadly considered unacceptable.
** Smaller worlds have been terraformed in transhuman space, both by worldhouse and more open-air methods, but it’s largely the kind of thing that much more energy-rich systems do as a vanity project. Kahira may someday see blue skies, but likely not for a thousand years at least. (edit, one year later: I actually changed up some of this while simulating this system for stability. I’ll be posting more about this soon.)
*** Mangala and Kahira, being tidally locked to each other such that they always show one another the same face as they orbit their common center of mass, both have days exactly as long as their orbital periods - 403 kiloseconds, or roughly 112 hours. This is for convenience divided into month-weeks comprising four “circadian days” of 100 kiloseconds (~26 hours), with the remaining three kiloseconds added on to the last day of a month-week to keep synchronization.
