The Bethlehems are bent on filling up their house with babies. Bonnie's first pregnancy turned out to be twins, Graham and Greta, and Bonnie immediately got pregnant again. It was Casey's idea, though.

The partnership had a rather rough patch (because Casey danced with a customer!), but all is forgiven …

Nader Founders, Second Spring

The Nader family (minus Saleh) have moved into a nice little brick house, with three bedrooms, a full kitchen and room for a car out the back. Nadeeda has decorated in pinks (to match the 'vintage' bathroom fittings) and apple greens (to match her favourite dress). …

Spring was fairly quiet in the Olivera house, especially as Florian decided to close the poker game for a while. It's at Level 9, pretty much of its own accord, and makes the place so busy at all hours.

Florian is spending more time at his newer business, the news …

Nader 2

Saleh is enjoying having a whole flat all to himself. He hasn't spoken to his family all season, making the most of the privacy he never got at home. Sometimes he sees them walking by, from his front window.

He bought some minimal furnishings - cheap, but NEW! …

The Lindberg shack.

Anna got through her pregnancy, doggedly going to work throughout. She did invite Darryl for a serious talk, but the pork chops caught fire, and that was the end of that!

Baby Christof was born in due course, and got a cardboard box to sleep in. Daddy …

The Nader family, final pics from their poverty house.

The last day for the home business - Arif is setting up in one of the old railway sheds instead. Once Arif had taken the shop stuff away, the shed could be used for other things:

Turns out, Taslim is …

Second Autumn - Olivera

The Oliveras are coasting along at present, plenty of funds and not too much ambition.

They took the chance to do some renovation - moving the basement ladder to a full outdoor entrance, which increases their living space and means that poker customers don't have to …

The Fredley family...some things happened during the last part of the Summer.

Milo kissed Chloe and then jumped straight into the parental bed with her. No pictures.

Milo got a job as a dishwasher, and zoomed straight to the top of the teen levels. Now he has to maintain that, …

Marcie Fredley hasn't had much time to get her romance on, but she did manage to slip out to the local diner for a burger with Komei...in her negligee!

The Nader family is having an exciting Autumn.

Abbas became a toddler, and is already walking.

Taslim became a teen. The family gave him a chess table.

Nadeeda finally got her promotion - not because she studied for it, but because she got a lucky break!

Whatever the reason, this …

The Lindberg household, late Summer.

Anna has been very unmotivated lately, not very interested in work, not wanting to take any of her private relationships to the next level. She spends a lot of time with Darryl Dexter from next door, but has been solidly against any kind of permanent …

On the first morning of 2nd Autumn, Saleh moved out of his parental home...

...and into his very own first-floor flat.

It even has a balcony. You can see Saleh in the upstairs hallway, all snazzy in his first suit, signing his first contract. Let's hope he can …

The Nader family is still in poverty housing, waiting on Nadeeda to get a promotion. Which she will never get unless she rolls some skilling wants, or gets past that requirement some other way.

Arif's little second-hand shop is at level 8 now, with customers fighting to snag the beat-up …

Casey Bethlehem has joined shantytown, moving into the boarding house for the moment. It's cheap, but there's no room for him to start anything, so he will have to move soonish. Just need some more money...

The boarding house has a communal kitchen and parlour/dining room, with separate …

I played through early Summer in the Fredley household (it's a desert town, they get a double-long Summer).

Here's one of the last photos of Milo as a child, with Marcie meeting the bus after school.

Milo aged to teen at Midsummer. He didn't have an official party, but …

Life has been happening lately, instead of simming, but today Florian Olivera finally bought his first community lot business - a tiny news stand.

He has to man it on his own for now, so spent the first day bouncing between tasks. It's a big change from the 24/7 poker …

News from Edge - the Nader household.

Mariam is now a teenager! No party, but they did have a couple of visitors.

Arif's shop is going well - they actually get some unhappy customers now, because they keep running our of stock when people turn up wanting an item. …

Toddler playtime at the Olivera house...

And Matilda in their new bedroom - not much decoration yet, but hey, it has curtains!

The Olivera family has moved into their new working-class house. It was built as a company house in the mining heyday, so is not luxurious - but it has two bedrooms, a full kitchen and a separate living room. Not to mention a basement, for extra living space as the …

First Spring - The Nader household is doing quite well at the moment.

Arif's used-goods shop is now level five. He really can't open unless there is at least one family member available to help with the customers. Preferably two.

Nadeeda gave up on finding a culinary job, and accepted …

The Olivera family is growing up. Twins Marta and Jacinta are now toddlers.

This is infant Jacinta, with father Florian, and then toddler Jacinta with her truck. What long hair! Seems a bit much for a toddler, but she will grow into it soon. Jacinta has her Mum's looks, but …

The Olivera family will be moving up to working class at the end of this cycle, because they have well and truly met the requirements.

But for a little while longer, they live in poverty, and the twins sleep under the kitchen table...

A couple of pics from the first two days of play.

Arif Nader's very fledgling Used Goods Shop. The empty shed was already in their front yard, but he had to take out a loan to open the business.

Anna Lindberg's shack. She was in deep aspiration failure - …

The Oliveras have finished their Autumn playthrough.

Twins Marta and Jacinta were born - amazing how it's always twins when there's no room or money!

Matilda reached Level 3 in her career.

Florian's 24/7 poker table is a hit with the neighbours. Seriously, he bought a ticket machine, a poker …

I have finally begun to play properly in Edge, rather than just building and testing stuff.

I dug out a challenge/playstyle I wrote up (back in 2010!) called Shantytown. It pulls bits from a number of other challenges.

Four households start in poverty, and they are supposed to work their …

The town of Edge is helping its poorer citizens, by funding a homeless shelter in a converted warehouse.

Services include an all-hours soup kitchen, and a food pantry for those who have cooking facilities, but no money for ingredients. Local food businesses can drop off excess items at the old …

I have been building a set of allotments alongside the railway line, for sims who don't have outdoor space at home. This is a narrow patch of otherwise waste ground, so it's good to see it put to use.

This is a community lot, so sims don't really 'own' any …

Starting a rotational gameplay save! Here I'll note down random stuff that happens during sessions, I might make story posts later!!

/core/uploads/2026/06/04/876c73e0-4ef3-478f-86c5-e1885d1b1215.jpg There was a free side table by the street when we started, and I took it bc why not! I think this is that garbage day feature I …

Maya Goth , the first child and first daughter of Dina & Mortimer.

I think Beau Broke might have commitment issues.

Lilith & Dirk might not be a couple anymore but they've remained the best of friends.

Now that the otherworldy creatures are out of the way, it's time to start introducing the mortal inhabitants of Dallùbach!

_*Note: As stated in the MCC rules, I have created all households by using a dice roller to establish everything from the number of members in a family, to their …

This is the tiny kingdom of Dallùbach. The 'Hood template is the absolutely gorgeous Greylings by nimi4 with a few tweaks made by me to allow it to accomodate the kind of city planning I envisioned for my population.

There are five areas that make up the Kingdom. The Shire, …

Seems appropriate to start with the gods and goddesses, right?

Meet The Trickster. God of the Wild.

Beloved by revelers, outcasts and thieves, he is the oldest known deity of Dallùbach. Once worshipped by all, (and VERY popular with the ladies) he has slowly been replaced by newer, more …

The seat of power for the (eventual) ruler of Dallùbach. Currently occupied by one very lucky Royal Steward!

Here we have our first members of the Gentry Class, the Percy family. Sir Hugh is the Squire of Dallùbach Shire and thus, the liege lord of those who live in the village. He spends a lot of time mingling with his tenants and is in general, considered to be …

Thanks to @Pary for naming this bad boy!
Foxcroft Manor is the ancestral home of the Squire, Sir William Percy and his family.

Thea Gardner's life has been marred by tragedy; losing her father, mother and husband in quick succession to the Plague. Now, she must both supply an entire village with produce and raise her son, Brom on her own.

The Gardners are Yeoman Farmers and, while still quite poor in the …

Peter Bell lost his wife in the Plague that wiped out almost half of the residents of Dallùbach almost a year ago. Now he's raising his two daughters, Beatrice and Emma , as best he can while running the settlement's Hedge Tavern, the Moody Unicorn. But Beatrice is of marrying …

The Bells run the only tavern in the settlement of Dallùbach, the Moody Unicorn.

It's a bit run-down, but they keep the counters polished and the ale flowing for their loyal patrons. Peasants don't get much time off, but when they do, they spend it here!

_*Technically, I'm not supposed …

Rulf and Rowan Hackel are the resident woodcutters of Dallùbach Shire. They wake at dawn to head into the Forest where they collect branches and chop wood to fuel the fires of the kingdom (thank you to Sun&Moon's Star Factory for making that a reality). They operate a small woodyard …

So, technically, this is just "the Dane", since Felice is all alone in the world (that pesky plague again).

The story behind this Sim is that I started playing a weird little redheaded witch named Felicity Dane back in TS3 and I absolutely fell in love with her. She made …

The final Peasant family to introduce is the largest as well! Meet the Pullet s, the poulterers of Dallùbach. Jean and his mousy wife Gretel live with their sassy daughter, Eloise , their sweet son and heir Milo and Jean's mother, Reinhilde. A bit of a squeeze for five people …

The Faa family lives far out on the fringes of the forest of Dallùbach in a Traveler's camp that is one of my particular favorite places to visit. Kadja , the eldest has just recently allowed her younger brother Danior to move out to a caravan of his own, but …

I should probably introduce you to the Village Green. You will see a lot of this place, like ALOT. This will be the gathering place for free days and festival days and since it houses the one and only Communal Well in the village, my peasants will be visiting every …

The next two days of the Woodyard 's business were significantly better, with profits of $611 and $664 respectively. But by the fourth day, I felt that it was time to give the Hackels a well-deserved break.

Rulf woke first and headed straight outside to their favorite amusement/bodybuilding tool:
…

Welcome to the Woodyard! The tiny 1x1 lot in the village where Rulf and Rowan sell their gathered and processed wood.

When we left off, Rowan and Rulf had set off before dawn to collect branches to sell. Now they've arrived at the Woodyard for their first day of business! …

Finally wrapping up our first season with the Bells!

Continuing with my train of thought at the end of the last post, I had Peter attempt to strike up conversation with Eloise the next day. They chatted, they joked, it seemed to be going pretty well.

But it might have …

Back at the tavern, Peter has invested in a new game for the patrons, a chess table!

And shows Gretel Pullet how its done. Watch out Peter, that one's in love with half the settlement.

It was a regular day at the tavern, which has swiftly risen to being …

So the Bells needed a vacation. I always give my simmies at least one day off, unless they're doing TERRIBLY, and that's not a worry with this family. Peter hasn't actually had a chance to talk to his children in a couple of days though, so I'd like to give …

Beatrice was up before anyone else in the family the next morning and got started with the new garden. I've discovered that she LOVES gardening.

She then prepared the breakfast and called the rest of the family to eat. Such a hard worker!

Since Peter felt he had …

The Bells! The Bells!

This family has been such a bunch of weirdos that I wasn't even sure I LIKED them, and yet, I've realized that I've taken more pictures of them than ever before. And I still have two days left in their rotation...

This is Emma. This was …

[After feeling extremely overwhelmed when I realized how many gameplay pictures had accumulated during my time with the Bells , and then taking an entire day to sort and post them properly, I've decided to switch up the way I post stuff. I have since been dropping interesting gameplay as …

Two members of the family Pullet were very much neglected by me this cycle. Milo , well, I just couldn't figure out what there was for him to do aside from general care for the poultry, but that doesn't take long. So I feel bad that his life has been …

it's banana

After figuring out on paper how I wanted to handle the monetary requirements in order to progress from Settlement to Hamlet, I realized that I was still missing two buildings: The Barracks and T he Almshouse.

I had a bit of free time this week, so I got both taken …

The last building I needed to complete the building requirements for Settlement is the Almshouse. It's suggested that you make it a residence and have it be occupied by a caretaker, but I really couldn't see myself playing an Almshouse lot where I have one sad bastard just cooking soup …

The Fischer twins, Josef and Ernst and their sister, Juliana , lost their father in that pesky Plague that swept through the settlement last year, so they are doing their best to learn how to support themselves and build up a successful fishery in their father's stead.

Early starts are …

When Sunday rolled around, I decided to do something I think I've failed to do with my families who have been followers of Eostre so far, and sent the Fischers to the chapel.

I had a LOT of fun on this day. Honestly, I got a bit bored with these …

It's finally time to get some fighting men into our settlement! I'll be adding a couple more Knights-in-Training to the ranks, but to start, here is the newly appointed Marshal of the Realm and his first soldier (who is also his son). With the addition of these guys, I'll also …

Need them to stop being so cute autonomously when they KNOW i have to break them up

Started inZOI.

but my pc is ancient so I have to play it through geforce now

Mostly all my stuff is on my tumblr but I thought why not start sharing my old stuff lol.

Just trying this site out. I love to talk a lot in general [online] but mostly about my OCs and my story. So this is Hana and SJ 😊

great days :)

Ah, autumn! My favorite season and one I have been using as a backdrop for my sims pics for many years. Love the cozy sweater weather, pumpkin spice, and crunchy colorful leaves vibes. This year I chose to do autumn pics exclusively in my main hood of Isla del Kashmire, …

Working on a first impressions post of the Cahaya DLC! I got my hands on it today (being part of the InZOI Partnership and such 😉). It's actually been way more fun than I had thought it would be!

So stay tuned!

Every Quarter or so I turn my pictures into a set of Loading screens, and this summer my loading screens are all about Kashmire Point! It's my sub-tropical shopping hood which is a touristy sub-hood for surfing, entertainment, shopping, and more! It's fun in the sun, all day everyday, in …

My take on Bella Goth from the sims 4! I will say because InZOI is so hyper realistic, and TS4 is pretty cartoon-y, it was hard to nail the likeness, but I hope I did well! :D

I might make her sims 2 version just for fun too.

SHe's also …

.

I was inspired by sims 2 (changing their astrological sign, their lifetime wishes). I think that in the description of Nina in the sims 2 it says ‘she is like all mediterranean women, sunbathing and sporty’. So I changed the Nina in sims 3 from skeletal to muscular. She's so …

kaylynn-langerak asked:

Hi Kitten! Thanks so much for your tutorial on custom pet eyes, it's been so helpful! But I was wondering, do custom pet eyes show up on strays? If not, is there a way to "strayify" them?

Hello Kaylynn-Langerak! I’m so excited to hear about someone …

I recently downloaded the old version of meetme2theriver's Uberhood, and have been playing a lot of Sims 2 ever since. I've had a lot of fun with it making up stories with such a wide and varied cast, and it's been really entertaining.

Currently, I've played Antonio Monty's family, Marinella …

I had an extra close up of little Tangerine here that I took as a test, and I wanted to share it with all of you. In hindsight, I wish I had thought of taking close ups of all the babies...

This is what Chrismas is for cat owners...and …

Did someone ask for custom cat familiars? No? Just me?

simsllama replied to your photo:

omg how did you do that?

Magic, of course! All it requires is a little help from SimPe. It’s exactly like making a custom Servo. All you need to do is make or locate …

He made such a lovely baby, I swear. <3

Still testing, but so far the fur color is successfully genetic! I even had blue kittens running around!

So, you won’t believe what I discovered for the game today~ :3

(I'll give you a hint: isn't his fur color beautiful? I'm actually in need of some fur color ideas because let's be honest the possibilities are endless)

It's yellow time !

Just been playing and trying to force my lovely little muse into cooperating with me on The Chikamori Legacy. When my muse gets recalcitrant like this, I have to either brute force my way into writing or just end up not writing for weeks on end.

And so one thing led to another! Let's see where this leads.

Sidenote: I have no idea why that guy is in his swimsuit, but everytime she meets him he's just... not clothed lmao

Which was especially ironic, because she met him on the beach, and I had her invite …

.

I love how she automatically went to the porch when I chose the practise option

Completely made from scratch! I wanted to make a character that looks a bit more on the European side (French-ish in this case). Hopefully I did good!

With her, I decided to turn off symmetry a lot actually. It's definetly the way to go if you want characters to feel …

First attempt at making a ZOI! So what better thing to do than trying to make myself, seeing how realistic it is. It's weird though not using "simself" anymore as a term lol. "Zoiself"... I got to get used to that hehe.

So far making ZOIs have been relatively easy! …

I downloaded a bunch of older sims from different creators (all of them from defunct Asian sites found here on Simscave), and made them over to my tastes, editing features and using my usual skins to go in my Tokyo inspired neighbourhood as townies ^^

Found that I really need …

Hoping to release them soon! :)

Left = Full Pose, Right = Blended

Guess who got pose blending to work? :D

Well, sort of... With EA's animations right now. But testing it has been super fun.

Stay tuned for more silly pictures! 😉
