Q-Basic Gorillas Fanfic Story Pack

The Q-Basic Gorillas Fanfic Story Pack was a set of Sims made available for download for The Sims 3 from Dozerfleet Labs, meant to both supplement telling of the since-canceled Q-Basic Gorillas Sims comic and also allow for downloaders to have a template upon which to expand the Qilantan universe for their own purposes.

Description
After a mission goes badly in Russia, Col. Flix is missing. Topaz Division finds itself having to go to work to save Lansing without him. Explorer George Mirafuentes has unfortunately uncovered the Omni Transmogrin - and mailed it to his niece! Due to failure to cover his tracks, however, the Ice Chimps now know where it is! And they have the Felinus Transmogrin in their possession already!

Facing criminal trial for an accident involving a cop, Stacey is hoping to get a lawyer and get back to work at the African history curator's office where she is interning. No such luck! The Ice Chimps are in hot pursuit of her, and have already turned her boyfriend into a cat! Their new leader, Lord Quirini, has the sick plan to turn all humans into cats, so that Ice Chimps can keep them as pets while ruling the world. And he intends to start with the Lansing area!

Things get even worse for Stacey, when the Omni bonds to her, and Quirini decides to abduct her to ensure its functionality. Her sudden new friends, Topaz, must race against the clock to rescue her and reclaim Lansing. If they don't, Quirini's mad vision of a world full of "pretty kitties" may yet come true!

Armed with their banana bombs and other cool weaponry, the Battle for Lansing is about to commence. But will the Qilantans have to destroy the city in order to save it?

Custom content
To get the look of the Gorriloids' feet down, CamKitty's Wolf Feet mod is highly advisable. Esmeralda's Cyborg Visor also assists with creating specialty characters, such as Niqmad.

Development
Due to the over-reliance on certain custom content, the Sims 2 versions of this setup were never released for download. Sims 3 versions of the cast were fairly basic in regards to getting the looks down for human characters. The Ice Chimps, Pyrangutans, and Ethermangs all proved challenging (and required a lot of Photoshop to complete their looks.) The Qilantan Gorriloids themselves required a lot less Photoshop to get their end result for screenshots, but still required their fur to be painted on. The fur-less versions of them are included in this pack.

Alas, the characters' weapons were the single most difficult items to implement, with third party custom content being needed in screenshots for most characters to have any weapons at all. Col. Flix's guan dao needed to be Photoshopped in from modified stock photos for every scene in which he has it. The same principle held true for all banana bomb variants. Suffice to say, the pack that was released contains no weapons, Transmogrins, or other similar cool features.

A Sims 4 version of this set was also pursued, but it was ultimately abandoned.

Distribution
The earliest form of this set was created on January 1st of 2014, and featured only the Qilantans of Topaz Division. They were later submitted to Mod the Sims, but were rejected. They were then added to Utterly Sims. By November 20th of 2014, the other factions had been added. By September of 2020, the surviving uploads from this series were re-released to Dozerfleet Labs' blog on Blogger.
