Classic or Contemporary?
Added 2025-01-16 05:23:32 +0000 UTCOne of the things about making updates to Date Ariane is the constant changes to technology that happens over the ages. 15 years ago Ariane bought a disposable camera for an impromptu photoshoot, now she uses a camera phone.
Ariane has been driving around a doorless SUV with rail bars since I started making the game. While Jeeps are still being built to this day, the 1987 Wrangler that she drives is almost 38 years old. Meanwhile, the pickup truck on the right feels more modern. Any preferences?
(I'm pretty sure I know how a vote will go, but I thought, I'd make another public post for fun.)

I modeled it off of Phoenix. The whole city view from the mountain is an actual picture from South Mountain Park, and the "dead" Fiesta Mall is a mall that opened near me in Mesa when I was a kid, that recently closed down. There's not an amusement park there, but a water park. The biggest amusement park was "Castles and Coasters" outside Metro Center, another dead mall.

Looked for a Daz optimized update and couldn't find one. Went to CGTrader and found a Blender based one I managed to convert for Daz use. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/car/suv/1987-jeep-wrangler-custom-3d-model

2025-01-16 06:27:42 +0000 UTCSorry if I'm being predictable, but I prefer the Jeep. Ariane's hometown feels very "Southern California" to me, with the mountains overlooking the city, and the Jeep fits better with that environment. The pickup truck makes me think of crummy Deep South weather, scorching summer heat or tornadoes or hurricanes, not exactly fun times.
