Hello Friends, A Little Cc Update. I Am Working On Another Big Children’s Set But It’s Been Slow

Another old simblrssimplyforfun challenge but I loved the result. Also how pretty does Isla Paradiso look in the background?

Simblr Simply For Fun: Raffle Skins for Make Over

This month in the raffle I rolled a skin for a base sim make over (I won Frankie’s bases in Challenge Two almost a year ago!), so here’s my make over! I’m actually really proud of this one!  Meet Malia Kahale! You can see the original base’s thumbnail side by side with the current version. I thought she looked kinda Hawaiian so I used that as my inspo. I used the Fleur skin from the challenges and wow I fell in love. I’ll update soon with a link to download if you want Malia, so the rest of her outfits are previewed under the cut below if you want to see more. 

@gruesim @simblrsimplyforfun Could I have the Maisy Skin please?

“Grace, what are you doing out here?” Matt came and stood beside her on the deck railing, as he closed the door the happy chatter of Bible Study grew dim again and the summertime crickets returned.

Gracie let Matt lean next to her and she pointed to the stars. “It’s a meteor show tonight. It doesn’t start ‘til later but I thought I’d see if I could find any shooting stars. Plus it was getting a little stuffy in there. I mean its great that it’s so full,” Gracie began to stammer, not wanting him to get the wrong idea. “I love seeing so many people at our home group, all hungry to learn about Jesus, don’t get me wrong…”

“It’s just a lot of new faces at once right?” He asked gently. Gracie relaxed and nodded “I hear you. Plus it’s so nice out here! Want to sit?” Matt motioned to the ground and Gracie joined him, a respectable space away. They started pointing out constellations and easily chatting as the night grew darker, and slowly the bible study inside emptied of people. “Hey Grace?” “Yeah?”

“Do you know that I like you?” His voice was timid, which was different from his usual cocky confidence.

But Gracie was to focused on the sky to notice. “Yeah, of course. I mean I like being friends too.” “No, I mean I like you silly girl,” Matt said again, realizing she had no clue. He looked deeply at her as her head whipped around to look at him.

“Me?” She squeaked, and then began coughing. Matt laughed and patted her back until she stopped. “I’m flattered, I mean, I guess I hoped, but I just didn’t think I was your type I guess. I thought photographers only dated models? I just…” She stopped as Matt laughed again, and she felt her nervous heart beating fast.

“Well then you be my new model. Grace, you’re beautiful, you’re smart and kind, why wouldn’t you be my type?” “Ha, me a model, yeah right. You need someone fancier, whose idea of  a good Saturday is a day at the spa and a photo shoot on the beach, not a girl like me who spends her day knee deep in dirt in the garden, grading children’s papers and watching movies with her cat.”

“But I love cats!”

Gracie laughed, “Well we’ll have to see if my cat likes you.” “Deal, so if your cat likes me will you go out with me?” Gracie decided to tease, “I mean, I guess, but that’s pretty risky she doesn’t  like a lot of people.” “I’ll take my chances”

Hiatus

Hey guys!

Sorry I dropped off the radar for the past month, I’ve had some crazy real life stuff going on, like my husband being diagnosed with MS. We are still reeling and just trying to adjust our life and help him to heal and recover.

Because of all that I’m taking a little break here. All conversions and stuff are on pause for a bit. I still have some things in my queue so I might post those if I have time, and pop in here and there when I can.

But truth be told I’m an Enneagram nine who likes to shut down and retreat to my ‘inner world’ aka sims when things get too hard but I am really trying to just show up and be present for my real life, even though it’s overwhelming and hard (and let’s be honest I broke down in tears because never did I ever think I’d be worrying about losing my partner and learning how to cope watching him suffer when I am only 26. That was not on my radar)

So anyway, I hope to return eventually because I have some more Saint Greer builds I was really excited to share and more going on in Hylewood. Not to mention a folder full of half finished conversions. But I need to (force myself to) take a step back and just embrace the season we’re in. Any prayers and love is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Well guys, I’m back with some happy/sad news. I lost my job in Appaloosa Plains (to the Principle’s niece no less) and because of that I’ve had to move. I’m so sad to be leaving my Grandmothers Victorian/Farmhouse behind, especially since I’d spent so much time and heart renovating it just how I liked.

But the good news is I’ve found another job in Winchester as a school teacher. It’s a much smaller school but I think it will be a good change. I’m coming on as a full time teacher and also an administrative aid and I’m hoping that during my time here I can really make a difference. So far I’m loving the small town community vibes here.

I’ve also been able to move into my own little farm here. Complete with garden and a little barn with a studio on top. I don’t paint but maybe I’ll have to start trying. The fall weather is so gorgeous and inspiring. The house needs some updating so I’m currently painting to start. As I make progress I’ll share.

Here’s to my favorite season and some new beginnings. Cheers.

Office Signs 4t3 Conversion

Office Signs 4t3 Conversion

Two new office signs for your towns. Big thanks to the wonderful @bill-l-s4cc​ and his TOU that allows conversions. He has so many wonderful signs that I hope to do more in the future. 

Landgraab Realty Office Sign: 3,938 polys Goth & Villareal Law Offices Sign: 20,518 polys (Yes this sign is VERY HIGH POLY! It does have a LOD M which is about 6,000 polys which is more reasonable, and I figure this isn't an item you'll use all over a lot, but just realize that is high.)

One recolorable preset, and three non-recolorable presets.  Found under paintings and posters for $50 simoleons

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

Hylewood Round 1 -Atwood

Part Two

While William focuses on his political career at City Hall, the girls are enjoying summer break. Thanks to @misspats3 better playdates mod the neighbor Amy Miller called and asked if her son Devon could come play with the girls. Amy is naturally shy so she and Sarah didn't gain much friendship, but Devon and Jessica hit it off.

Charlotte on the other hand has the loner trait so she preferred to swing on the swings, read, and run her bake sale (maybe a future baker or entrepreneur?)

Pretty soon Jessica was wanting to become best friends with Devon and I just love these two.

Sarah is the school teacher so she decided to study some skills online to prep for fall. And next thing ya know I see William is home and these two are autonomously giving each other back rubs. They are so in love.
