I Would NEVER Be Mad About You Rambling About Keiji Dog Motif, Lay It On Me

I would NEVER be mad about you rambling about Keiji dog motif, lay it on me

Okay so.

First I should mention the obvious Joe dog motifs. The dog keychain in his design, him directly saying he’s like a dog in the end of 2-2 emotion route. He’s loyal to Sara and continues to follow her even after his death.

But Joe dog motifs and his parallels to Keiji could be its own post… and Keiji Shinogi is also extremely dog coded. The explicit references to it like ‘Mr Policeman’s not a dog’ or a joke Sara makes about giving him treats in one of their token negotiations… and this can mean two things. It’s his standing behind Sara as an ally and taking her side. He often waits for her word to do things, and spends the game propping her up as a leader. In the scene where they see Hayasakas victim video, as shitty as him doing so is, him asking Sara if he can put his life in her hands is a way of expressing his support is uncoditional. But we also know that he’s not exactly perfectly loyal like Joe is. Lest we forget the entire second main game. He has lied, and kept things from her, and he even left her for dead with the sacrifice.

But a dog can also represent something else… a police dog. After all, Keiji is former police. He was trained to shoot first ask questions later, something that resulted in the death of his idol, and grew up his whole life being preparing himself to be put in this system that’s full of corruption. And as much as he distances himself from that now, he very much still contains the traits of a cop.

While Joe represents the more sort of normal playful dog idea of man’s best friend, Keiji represents a guard dog. He’s there behind Sara as her most powerful ally, her closest confidant and the one who made her the leader, and also as the policeman, who’s willing to lie or look the other way out of convenience.

KEIJI SHINOGI SET

I have severe brainrot for this guy. Seriously, there is something wrong with me. I am here to share that mental illness with others. Unedited, full previews for everything will be available under the cut.

KEIJI SHINOGI SIM

What kind of Keiji set would it be if it didn't include the man, the myth, the legend himself?

DETAILS:

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Age: Young Adult

Sub Type: Human

Traits: Paranoid, Romantic, Genius

All required content for download will be listed below the cut.

KEIJI HAIR: A recolour of daylifesims' Lu Guang hair. They are add-on swatches, so they will be found on the original hair in your game. In other words, IT REQUIRES THE MESH! So please download it!

It adds 4 swatches to the hair; two that are more of a natural blonde colour, and two that are Keiji's iconic piss yellow colour. For each version, one of each set has a version with blonde roots that match the rest of his hair, and the other version has black roots (since Keiji's hair is canonically black, just dyed blonde). The previews show the piss yellow with black roots. Settings for age/gender same as mesh.

KEIJI VEST: A simple recolour that requires Realm of Magic. It is a CAS Standalone. The thumbnail is a Keiji sprite. That's all.

KEIJI PANTS: ...There is none. I just used the Color Sliders UI mod on a set of Base Game pants. It will be included in his Sim download, so be sure to have that mod and the base game textures provided...

...Is there something I'm forgetting? Ah, right...

shut the fuck up let me be cringe and narrate to myself

DEATH GAME COLLAR

Kind of essential for not only Keiji, but any character from Your Turn to Die. This is a recolour of DeathPoke1qa's Unspiked Choker. These ones are CAS Standalones, BUT they still require the mesh. They are split between female and male versions since they're technically different meshes, but I have included a merged file to save space!

You can see examples of the female mesh in other previews

KEIJI BUCKET HAT & SOCKS

Inspired by the existing socks and hat from Aliexpress (NOT SPONSORED). Both are CAS Standalones; the Bucket Hat requires Throwback Fit Kit, and the Socks are Base-Game Compatible. Enabled for all genders and frames, disabled for random.

KEIJI SHIRT OVERLAYS

This is where the HEAT is at!!! These are overlays, so they are unisex and can be mixed and matched with any item in your game, as long as the UV maps are compatible with the standard Sim chest location. These are Base-Game Compatible and found in Gloves section. They may look wonky depending on body shape and meshes used. The textures are pretty low quality despite my best efforts, it is what it is.

Should be disabled for random and enabled for all ages.

KEIJI IS IN UR WALLS (& FLOORS)

A set of wallpapers and concrete floors. The wallpaper comes in 5 swatches, the floor comes in 2 swatches. Both items should be Base-Game Compatible. HOWEVER, if you have Eco Living installed, it will grant +2 Eco Footprint (Green Environment). Nature heals with Keiji.

BEAUTIFUL KEIJI (F)ART

The same memes (for the most part) as the shirt overlays, but as wall decor. Comes in 26 swatches, white and black frames. BGC as well.

Optional Custom Content:

Please note that in most preview images, Keiji's eyebrows are mistakenly brown. The files I uploaded include the fixed version, so he should have black eyebrows to match his true hair colour now.

Please also note that Keiji might need some "factory resetting". I've been playing with this Sim for a long time, so he is quite personalized to my liking. I did try my best to "factory reset" him (reset all skills and memories, removed the occult types I had going on for him, etc.) but please be aware that the Sims 4 is a glitchy game and it might still have some things that need to be manually reset with MC Command Center, such as his past careers or powers he had when he used to be a Werewolf in my game.

Keiji Hair

Here's the other swatches, since I don't use them in the other previews. I won't be doing any previews for his shirts or pants since they're seen in other previews already (and his pants are just color sliders ui, not a recolour or new mod at all).

Death Game Collar

That is NOT Sara Chidouin, by the way. That's my Simself cosplaying her. I just needed her hair out of the way, so I thought it would be funny if I slapped Sara's hair on her, changed her eyes to purple, and called it a day. Just a disclaimer, as if it matters to anyone.

The male mesh has a little bit of a dip to it in the center, which is the same as the original version. I chose this mesh to recolour because it looked nicer with the shirt I made for him than other meshes did. This mesh looked nicest on masculine frame sims out of the ones I tested.

In the future, I might make a second version of these collars that just uses a base game mesh or something, but idk I am pretty lazy!

Bucket Hat & Socks

what more do you need.

Shirt Overlays

Too lazy to take female previews but its the same images, trust! In the future, I might update this file with more images + same with the buildbuy shit. For now, this is what you get.

The BuildBuy Shit

confession 31: The Gin mastermind theory is flawed because if Gin had the kind of money to make the death game, he would spend it all on fursona commissions and robux
