Iplehouse Discussion (YID, nYID, SID, EID, HID) Part 13

My split fix (nSID body without thigh joints) ordered, and big kitty ordered! Weirdly, Iplehouse insisted on separate orders. I did a combined pre-order (budgeting), and the difference was, like, $7? *shrug* must be a software thing for them (using their website with their accounting software).
In the interim, head swapping! I think Doria is going on the nSID body once it arrives, but I'm trying Mari out on different bodies.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil I do *love* my Mari in the nSID body - perhaps you might
have her steal the new nSID body?? I think Doria would look lovely on that body too.

I wonder if the reason for the insisting on separate orders was that Iplehouse’s
largest box cannot hold both the (very) large kitty and a doll??? Otherwise, it
seems strange to ask you to do them separately.

 

By large kitty, do you mean the Puma? If so I would guess it is a very diffeent box and I believe there is an EMS weight limit.

 

Yes, @nancy_schroeder_ca I believe she was ordering the gorgeous Puma.
And what you suggest makes very good sense! I’d thought it might be
the size, but the weight limit makes more sense.

 

My Iplehouse nSID rs Mari just changed into a blond! I tried a
Monique Gold Paris wig - and now I'm even more taken with her!!
Mari's such a marvelous sculpt.

She wears Gumdrops urethane eyes, Flowergirl hand dyed silk robes,
Magalie Dawson organza nightgown, and a gold plated necklace I made.
Default paint by Iplehouse. Gorgeous manicure by @Jay

Spoiler: just the crimson robe

 

That's so cool and she's so pretty. Also agree that the blonde look amazing on her As someone who really love Chinese Hanfu, I really like that nightgown.

And one more image with some hairpins in to tame Manu's hair a bit XD Andrei's niece Anja joined the image too

And here's my HID Falcon finally home His name is Manu. These 2 are my OCs in The Sims 4, and married with 2 young kids. In the Iplehouse world their kids would be BID and KID size. Their future kids will be a BID Bordy, and KID Esi, both girls.

They live in a highly advanced and futuristic world so both their kids are biologically their although they are a same sex couple. In their world the possibilities are far beyond what we got, and I envy that. In their world the people have long moved past any anti-LGBT+ views. Their world don't have what we call a marriage, so there are no wedding rings to show that they are what we we call married. The people of their world got something else equivalent to a marriage but it is called something else that I have not figured out what to call. And instead of wedding rings there is couple bracelets which I need to get made for them.

Their journey started as characters in The Sims 4 somewhere in 2019 if I remember it correctly. Originally I were meant to have an EID Taregan but he got discontinued. I were so sad I missed my chance at ordering Taregan. But now I could not be happier it took so long to get here, because I love my HID Falcon far more than I would Taregan at this point

I got a few things that I need to do. Neither of the boys have shoes or much clothes at all. And I would like to get dreadlocks for Manu, he currently have this hard to style afro. And then Andrei need his eyebrows color adjusted a bit so that it fit his ginger hair more.

 

Great photo of a hard to shoot color. He’s gorgeous!

 

Thanks, and yes he is

 

Well, in good news, apparently Iplehouse is going to be offering a 30 percent off sale for Doll Choice in March.
Feels a little like being spat in the face, seeing as how I told them in advance I was ordering a doll via DC, but... sigh. My fault for not waiting. Live and learn, I suppose. (Spending $2K - ouch. Realizing if I'd waited a week, I could have saved at least $300 - priceless?)
I did indeed order a puma! And the split-fix doll! The puma is still open, which surprises me, but I think someone else ordered one too? So maybe they're hoping for more orders. You can do layaway with the puma, by the way.

 

As much as I'd love to get a puma, I have no uses for one unless I dyed it, and that is too much work for a second big cat. I own my Panther I will be good with just that. *talks self out of another cat*

 

Where did you see this out of curiosity? I checked dc prices today, and they’re still normal! I was hoping to score a HID girl if there’s that much of a sale!

 

Buddy of mine saw a promo for it. Maybe check again in 12 hours? They should be open then.

 

Sounds good!! I’ll check back then and let you know what I find!

 

The 30 % for item seems to be for clothes. You click on it and that's where it takes you. I don't think I've seen Iplehouse give 30% off dolls in Doll choice. But I could be mistaken.Tho they do sell them at regular price at times

 

Good catch!! I am mildly disappointed I won’t be grabbing a HID girl this time, but I’ve never heard of 30% off DC before, so I guess it was a stretch!

 

Just checked Iplehouse's website again - I think buddy was confused. I suspect that the SID add-a-head sale might be coming back though? The SID limited dolls are all listed as "Coming soon."
Sorry, everyone!

 

I have a question. I know Iplehouse says 9-10 wigs for HID men, but would it be possible to to make a 10-11 size wig work with a bit of padding on the headcap?

The doll I'm going to order a wig for is my Ebony Skin HID Falcon. He needs dreadlocks but it have not been easy to find.

Currently I'm speaking to someone on Etsy who make doll wigs for various dolls including American Girl dolls. Their biggest size is 8-9 and 10-11. But the wig I want they only got in the 10-11 size. It is a pre-prder, and ordering the 10-11 dreadlocks preorder will be a lot cheaper than having the exact same wig custom made in 8-9 size.

The seller said that a custom order would be pricy, but if that is what I have to do, I will. But first I want to hear here, if a 10-11 wig can work on a HID Man?

 

For a wig that is too large for a head, I prefer to sew a tuck or two at the back of
the wig @manabusama . I’ve done this several times over the years. I don’t
know that I’d be happy with padding a head to be larger. those AmGirl heads
are pretty big… Iple HID heads 23.5cm = 9.25”

Also, many wig caps are stretch-able to a larger size - if this person uses very
stretchy caps - the 8/9 may fit the larger head too?
If the etsy person is handmaking the wig - it would seem very simple for them
to sew the cap smaller before adding the dreads?

 

You mean sewing on the inside of the wig at the back? I have never touched a needle in my life, so I hope it is not to hard to sew a bit Maybe there's some videos on YouTube to guide me.

I think it would be safer to go with the 10-11 wig and do as you suggested, as going for a too small wig would be worse. At least a bit larger wig can be fixed. I'm a little bit worried about appearing as a difficult customer and asking too much. So I think I'll just contact them and say I take the chance on the 10-11.
