24 downloads and no comments??!!! I can't believe it. I looked at that first picture and thought, "Is that the sim or is that Dance?" I'm still not positive but finally decided it must be Dance since he is wearing armor and last you said you had given up on the armor temporarily. This is such a fantastic job, @billithlith. I'm not playing a Game of Thrones neighborhood at the moment but I'll find a place for Tywin in my game somewhere. He is too good not to. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

.*o§O BRAVA!! O§o*.

Billielith, he looks amazing. So regal and disdainful and seen-it-all, and he's got charisma just falling out of his pockets. Smiled to see Lorne/Andy at the table. Could not agree more about making him an adult and not an elder. This is not a dude who slouches. (^_^)

It was an epic journey indeed, nothing about him was just easy or instantly done, every detail required work to end up correctly. And thanks so much, Maxon. You truly solved my problem with the hair by putting my focus on the ponytail mesh.

Thanks Sandy, I hope you enjoy having the Lannister alpha lion in your game.

Thank you! I am happy with how he turned out. It took time and a lot of versions but Mr. Dance finally emerged in that face! lol.

Mr. Dance is so amazing indeed, he is an officer of the Order of the British Empire, you know? I really hope he likes this sim. He has been rewarded so many times in his extremely brilliant career. He's been playing the aristocrats in theaters, on tv and in movies since 1974!

Delurking to say you did a fantastic job on this Sim. Charles Dance could use him as a mirror! (Dance is one of my favourite actors of all time, BTW - and I really, really like his Tywin, there's a human aspect to him I think book Tywin doesn't have. Dance's Tywin almost has a heart. Sort of. Hidden somewhere deep, deep down. )

The sim is fantastic! As well as the description and pictures. You've gone a long way from "kinda resembling" to "very-very alike"
It was interesting to watch your work in progress.

Thanks so much NixNivis. And indeed, Mr. Dance does a fantastic job playing Tywin. When we see him interact with Arya he indeed shows some emotions. He told Arya she reminded him of his daughter, but Cersei never made him smile nor laugh the way Arya did. I think Arya reminds him of Joanna. But he will never admit that. Joanna's death is the reason he killed his emotions in the first place, and he will not go back there, as he refuses to show any weakness now. A lot of people admire Tywin's success but I think he is a sad, sad man. Arya is the closest thing to a friend that he had in a very long time.

I appreciated your constructive criticism so, soo much. You were so always on the point. I've appreciated your honesty and your eye for spotting what worked and what didn't. You helped me get this sim better! He wouldn't have been so 'very-very alike' without you!

Thank you Azelanne! Tywin has certainly been a lot of work, so many details to process. And the game was not made to make sims like him. My facebook friends were flooded with updates every week and some of them are glad that it's finally over, lol.

Thank you! You helped me a great deal as well. You helped me see how he needed another hair mesh than the Maxis bald one. In fact I am considering to make a set of his current hair mesh, for other sims.

Thank you! And it's true, we rarely get to see the process behind a project. I keep repeating it, but I feel so thankful for all the help I had for this one. People's support felt incredible!

In Sims games people can have an idea of the work we do, because we all have to go through CAS. In other circumstances most people would never guess the 'behind the scenes' work. Like for example in Game of Thrones. They work so hard to make it as realistic as possible, not just the actors, but all the people making the sets and costumes. Once I've watched a 'behind the scene' where they were making the prosthetics for the White Walkers. I could never do something like that! It's incredible the countless hours these people can put on each piece!

Absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a likeness so pure. I'm somewhat afraid of the old man so it will be interesting to see him in my world! Thank you!

You've done an outstanding job on this. Like Angela Channing in Falcon Crest tv series said once. persistency generates success. I like to see you do Jim Morrison from the doors. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much, you are too kind.
I don't think I will sim any musician soon, but I plan on finishing a sim of the american actor Jack Nicholson. I started making his sim a long time ago, and I have new tools and more experience now.
