Has Victoria reached her sell by date

deeahr2169

I have dabbled over the past years with various other women, I'm not that faithful, and have had affairs with Aiko, and with Stephanie, with Genesis and just lately with Genesis 2 for female. Yep, I'm a flirt, i admit it.
Always though i have returned to Victoria Four, she has never let me down, never messed around with others, and looks fabulous. Well she is starting to have some problems, but by and large she's pretty amazing for her age.
Still i am thinking about running off with a younger model. The thing is, if I do that, some younger model is going to want me to buy lots of new stuff so she can go out and look good which will attract other, younger, guys.
My Victoria has lots of stuff i have paid for over time, she looks wonderful, but is her day done.
I am tempted by G2F, okay,. she's an acronym, but maybe apart from shoes, most of my V4 content will do for her, perhaps all except shoes. But right now i have V4 pretty much covered for everything, from characters, to morphs, to poses to clothes and hair and on and on.
Is it really worth the bother to run off with this young babe and leave Victoria in tears...
Or should i just admit that i love Victoria, and forget being unfaithful...

Use whatever you feel most comfortable with. I love Genesis, with the flexibity the figure gives. G2F is also pretty nice, as is Dawn (who I note you seem to eschew - hopefully she'll act as a woman scorned .. ;:)). The autofit features/functions that figues give are a boon for Genesis and G2F. That is why poor Vicky and Mickey get left behind and gather dust in my runtime for ages on end. I still do use them on occassion and, often, grits teeth with frustartion when I dial in a morph not supported by the clothing and get pretty much terminal poke-thru. Yes, I know, I could apply various strategies to lessen or nullify such things, but often those still leave artefacts that are beyond immediate tidying up (I am useless at postwork and the GIMP clone tool is not a patch on that of photoshop).
All in all, see first sentence - if you are happy and like the work you produce, then all is well!

V4 will be safe until:

There is a Poser-native model to replace her

That model has a wide variety of clothes.

V4, indeed the whole of gen 4, still has a large fan club.

Great post David... love the humor! Still lots of great new V4 products being released.... and V4 skins, morphs, and clothes are all usable with the other women in your life.

I too got a kick out of this.

I've been having an affair with Josie 6. Unbeknownst to most, she's actually a 47 year-old wannabe actress waiting tables in the morning at an IHop in greater Atlanta and working weeknights at the big mall in Dunwoody. She only looks so young because she never goes outdoors and she seems to be happy to let me twist her arms and legs out of joint on weekends and holidays. It's her dream to star in a horror flick, and she says my inhuman manipulations don't hurt in the least as long as I keep taking good backups.

She also says the discomfort is a small price to pay for the good practice it gives to both of us, especially the frightful expressions I give her! She thinks it's funny when her hand passes right through her belly or side, even though it gives me the willies... :ohh:

The only thing she insists on is that I don't make her twerk. Believe me, I'm all too happy to oblige!

I just want to come out and say it. I'm two faced. Well, three faced really. After reading this thread I'm a bit disgruntled also. I know for a fact I've been carrying on a Love Affair with Vicky 4 for many years, so what if she changes shape every time I inject a new character? And how her skin changes from time to time never bothered me either, but finding out she has been seeing other 3D artist on their storage devices just Steams me! So Vicky 4, I'm gonna tell you like it is. I too have gone behind your folders. I have hung out with Genesis V4 many times and I plan to keep on doing so. The new chick? G2F V4, well lets just say I'm getting acquainted with her as well. So to me my Dear V4, you will always be in my runtime but there are days when those other V4's just excite me more. I'll never leave you V4, you know I love how animated you can get with little needed from me, but the new Girls do things for me that you can't sometimes. I'm fine with how things stand between us. Just keep on doing what you do for me and we will both be happy.

Don't say anything but she is a cheep date. If I take anyone else out to play with I have to buy her this and that but first I need to buy her that and this. There are a lot of places I can go that will give my V4 things for free and I do not need to shop for other stuff first.. She does not complain when she has to put on some outdated clothes besides they fit real nice on her. The only real problem is she is not very smart and I have to look all over the library to find her stuff.
