I haven't been on the forums for a while and was taking a break from The Sims, mainly because of real life stuff. But I started playing again a little last week, so decided to check in. I read the announcement about the forums closing and expected this thread to go with it. I wasn't too upset, I have all of the pictures…
For Rent - had no time yet to check out gameplay, but I did get as far as go through all the female CAS. So time for a lookbook! I had posted a few of these on the social media platform I don't care to name anymore. I really like the CAS in this pack and am very happy they added a decent number of nice accessories. I take…
@simgirl1010 Thanks for still thinking of me when it comes to CAS. :D I've been around and pretty much kept up with the infos on this pack. I think this is worth getting at full price, so there's finally going to be a new post in my thread this weekend. Some time with colorful new CAS items can only be therapeutic with how…
I was never going to pay for this SP. In my opinion, which was the same back then, the roll-out of C&D and MFPS was done very poorly and given that there are items in the SP you can't use without C&D (DLC for DLC) and they clearly split a children's furniture set up across the two packs, I simply couldn't get myself to pay…
I mean, I wouldn't say either of those things because mixing German and English is something I only do under duress, but if my life depended on it, I'd go with with "der Quest". I can't play games in German though because it looks and sounds wrong and makes me miserable, so perhaps "die Quest" is what is more common in…
Riku seems to live a solitary life at the moment, but that's not the case. Heather can only gather her strength every so often to take on this translucent physical form, but she likes to remind Riku that she is always by his side. Just as she promised on their wedding day.
Riku has been spending all his spare time in the Realm, schmoozing with the Sages, squeezing them for every bit of knowledge and information. And it looks like L.Faba got the wrong idea. Riku is (currently) a widower, yet he may still be the least available man out there. So while L. was focussed on making eyes at him, she…
@simgirl1010 Aw, thanks! It's good to see you, period! :smile: As a matter of fact, the Sages did help Riku. Not in the way he hoped though. Instead L.Faba put him on the path to save Heather himself. Riku is a spellcaster now. But he's still got a ways to go until he can cast the powerful spell to restore Heather's…
Took a bit of a longer break and was really looking forward to returning to a legacy type save I was playing before the break. And then the game decided to kill my founder Heather. At her wedding. Not cool TS4, not cool at all ... :D
I've been mainly spending time on other games this year, but this pack has some interesting looking CAS items and is focused on cooking. So no chance I'll be able to resist. :)
I already posted this on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, but good on you if you're avoiding that place. :D I decided to get the Poolside Splash Kit, because all of my Sims spend at least some time at the beach, have a pool or visit one of my pool lots regularly. I like the items a lot and some of the…
Just in case anyone is wondering, I won't be getting Horse Ranch until it's on sale. There is definitely a lot of adorable CAS, but I feel rather indifferent about the addition of horses to my game, so it would be silly to pay full price. It's wonderful though how many Simmers are enthused about this pack, that's always…
Thanks for the kind comments, I really appreciate it. <3 @SweetieWright_84 I don't know about the hotdog suit, but I sure do appreciate the sentiment. :D Once in a while there is a piece of CAS in a pack that is just a lot more versatile than the average CAS piece and you can create several different outfits in different…
The crochet sweater is my favourite item in the Grunge Revival Kit. I actually own a very similar piece IRL. Since I'm a fan of mixing styles, I decided to try out some stuff in CAS, dress the sweater up a bit. I liked the outfits, so I took some pictures to remember them later. And at that point I thought to myself, I…
The pictures are taken in CAS. The backgrounds are CC. I have them in different colors and with the ones that are plain (and not gradient), I can easily adjust or change the color in editing. For editing I use paint.net because it is free, easy to use and has some enhanced features (like adding layers). It's not Photoshop,…
I edit screenshots all the time. But it is mostly cutting, pasting and resizing for a lookbook, so the creative part for me is while I am in CAS putting together outfits. But sometimes I will edit some screenhots - mostly portraits - a bit more, adjust saturation and lighting and add certain effects to enhance something…
This is definitely part of the issue. Take what happened to vampire break-ins. When I got the pack back then it was a feature I really enjoyed. It was an event I couldn't control and my Sim would be completely exhausted in the morning and I had to figure out how to deal with them the next day. There were so many complaints…
The items in the new Grunge Revival kit looked pretty good, so I decided to get it today. It matches very well with Realm of Magic and Werewolves, obviously, but also with Discover University and High School Years. I can definitely recommend the kit for anyone who either likes the style or is looking for more options for…
@simgirl1010 Hey there! Actually I already had all those pics. (And more.) Weird, right? :D Some are from my thread and others I put together for Twitter when the kits were released. It's been a minute since I put together a new lookbook ...
Such a difficult choice to make. For me it would be almost impossible to choose between Throwback Fit, Moonlight Chic, Incheon Arrivals and Fashion Street. I added some pics under the spoiler, because I had them anyway and they illustrate my points. Throwback Fit is obviously great for athletic wear, but I also use it for…
Kyle didn't care that the crowd had gathered for Brytani Cho. He stepped right in there and made everyone watch him do his weird little dance to a tune only he could hear ...
I never noticed this area in Del Sol Valley before (behind the Inner Circle lot). Wish they had done more with this idea, it's so ... realistic. With the tents under the bridge and a patrol car driving by every few minutes, this reminds me more of L.A. than any other part of DSV.
While I was playing a Sim in Newcrest, a random townie she didn't know asked to stay over. Turned out Kimmy and Judd had amazing compatibility and they became a couple during the stayover without me doing much of anything. That was about 2 in-game weeks ago. They're married now, which is pretty great, because I had no idea…
