A Collab With Myself? Lol. I Wanted To Introduce Kelsey, Jenna And Becca As Other Sims I Was Going To

Blown away by the beautiful world of Rosewood Park by @gruesim. Fell in love with this little cottage that has a big back garden overlooking the sea and had to start decorating.

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.

Gracie stuck the phone between her ear and shoulder. “Yep Mama, I got your recipe right here. What says fall potluck like pumpkin pie right?” Gracie began putting groceries away as she listened. “That’s my baby girl. Now your bound to make friends with a recipe this good.”

Gracie chuckled, “I’m sure your right. Mama you know Km hardly your little girl anymore right? I’m 24 with a college degree and a real teaching job. And my own house! Will I ever convince you I’m a grown up?”

“First lets get this straight, you will always be my little girl even when your babies have babies. Second, 24 years old is still a baby! You’ve got a lot more growing and learning to do so don’t get a big head now. Everything you got is a gift from the good Lord so remember that.” Gracie could just picture her mother’s forehead filling with concern and her grey eyes filled with faith.

Gracie grabbed the phone with her free hand and shut the fridge door with the other. “Yes Mama, I’ll remember that. I love you. I’ve gotta go and get this pie done!” Gracie said good byes and hung up the phone, enjoying the stained pages of her ‘recipe journal’ she’d been keeping since high school. She began mixing up the recipe but the further she mixed the more she got a sinking feeling she forgot something. Gracie knew if she called her mama back to ask for help she’d never hear the end of it.

Gracie added another half can of pumpkin and crossed her fingers it worked. As the pie came out of the oven it looked normal. “Well lets hope it still tastes just as good.” She mumbled to herself as she threw tin foil over the top and went to change.

Another day, another beautiful house in Rosewood Park.

Inspired to decorated by watching C J Plays on YouTube with his decorating Rosewood series so I wanted to decorate too (just of course had to use way more cc). Going for a coastal cottage kinda vibe.

Thank you to all the cc creators! @gruesim @zoeoe-sims @martassimsbookcc @kerriganhouse @aroundthesims and many others 💕

Hylewood Round 1 - Atwood

Part Five

We left off with Sarah at the beginning of her pregnancy, the girls enjoying their summer break and William working on his career. To further his career William invited over local Law Enforcement Officer Ben Johnson and his wife Kate (ironically not pictured here but she is the local photographer you'll see later) for dinner.

The girls really just worked on their skills. Charlotte and Sarah did some painting and Jessica worked on her piano (The Atwoods are the wealthiest family on the Island and I figure they would want their girls to be a bit of over achiever proper ladies)

Soon enough it was time. William and Jessica had a good freak out.

Then the Doctor was called, and also the repair man to fix the dishwasher, while we have a baby in the kitchen because sims.

Welcome to the family Alexander Atwood! (Not sure if I'll stick with the A-Z naming for rotations but Alexander just seemed to fit).

I think William was after all quite glad to have a son and despite his early reservations was super attentive to the new baby.

Time to end their round by posing for a nice picture with Kate Johnson.

Hylewood Round 1 - Atwood

Using Zerbu’s Ultimate Career mod (updated by the lovely Sonya YA on MTS) for the very first time and trying out the politics career. Well, the first town meeting did not go well. Nearly the entire town showed up and turns out only one chair was actually able to be ‘sat in’ thanks to move objects (and that one chair has the town doctor who got this horrible randomly generated career outfit that will be fixed soon). Poor William. 

But some drama did start to go down outside, two of the towns teenage boys started to get in a fight outside, seems like Aaron is bullying poor Nathan. Nathan’s family rotation is up next so we’ll have to see what’s going on there. 

Even though there was a lot of upset sims, William is making progress in his career and is now up to level 3. Well done buddy. 

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?

Now updated with the simblr.cc link as well! I know SFS was being a pain for me yesterday as I was trying to download, so please go check out simblr cc and download the files there as well! I've also posted a sneak peak of future CAS rooms under the WIP tab :)

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.

Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.

“Grace?”

Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.

“What are you doing Grace?”

It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”

“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.

He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”

She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.
