*WAVES* Hi CD (may I call you CD?)!
I don't think we've officially met or come across each other on the forums, but I want you to know that I was so excited to find out you were my buddy and to read your letter. You gave me so much to work with and I loved all of the details that you included. Your letter also gave me a chance to experiment with different aspects of the game that I hadn't played with before, so this was very exciting for me!
I've just come back from the States (I'm a bit jetlagged
), but I didn't want you to think that I'd forgotten about you, so I'm going to leave you with a sneak peek of one of your gifts.
I hope it will all be worth the wait and I'll be back at the weekend with the rest!
For now, I'll leave you with the below:

Like I said above, your letter really took me to different depths of the game, things that I had never explored. I was super stoked to read the section on occult Sims. So with out further ado, may I introduce to you:
Bellamy Dixon
download•here
• Bookworm
• Loves the Cold
• Natural Cook
• Photographer's Eye
• Supernatural Fan
Skills:
• Athletic - 2
• Cooking - 5
• Mixology - 1
• Photography - 6
Adopted from a young age, Bellamy always knew she was different from the other children. It wasn't just the point of her out-turned ears, her amethyst-colored eyes, or the grey streaks in her hair; Bellamy always felt she had special powers. As she grew older, Bellamy came to embrace her quirkiness. When not researching her uniqueness, trying to connect with like-minded Sims, Bellamy can be found either in the kitchen perfecting a new recipe or with camera in hand photographing the world around her. Now that Bellamy is a young adult, she wants to find out once and for all WHO or WHAT she is.
Psst...I'll let you in on a little secret, Bellamy is a GENIE!
I had a lot of fun making Bellamy and I hope you enjoy playing with her. I'll leave you with some pictures, because some of her faces crack me up! ENJOY!
In your letter, you said that you wanted some single Sims to get into the dating game! Combined that with the occult Sims that you like and I'd like to introduce you to...a vamp and his dog:
Holden and Pope
download•here
Born in 1870, Holden Montgomery comes from old money and royalty. He was cherished by everyone who he met and when Holden disappeared in 1900, the search for him went on for years. What Holden's family and friends didn't know is that he didn't disappear, he was changed. Now stuck in his 30 year old body forever, he had no choice but to watch from afar and move from place to place. Can Holden finally find a place to settle down where he will be accepted for the new him?
Traits:
• Athletic
• Disciplined
• Friendly
• Kleptomaniac
• Night Owl
Pope Montgomery
Pope is the perfect little mutt for Holden. He goes wherever he goes, loyal through and through. All he needs is a place to sleep, somewhere to swim, and of course, Holden.
Traits:
• Likes Swimming
• Loyal
• Neat
I hope you enjoy playing with these two because I had fun making them for you! Let me know how the dating games goes for Holden!
I really got carried away with the fellas; albeit these two are humans. Now to get them onto the dating scene, you may have to break them away from each other, because - *ALERT ALERT* - we've got a major BROMANCE going on here! Without further ado, allow me to introduce:
Leo Walter and Ellis Spencer
download•here
Although complete opposites, Leo Walter and Ellis Spencer have been best friends since they were 3 years old. As they grew older, it became apparent that they had nothing in common except for their bond. Leo, the ladies man and Ellis, the self-professed nerd, never let stereotypes stand in the way of their friendship. As soon as they left high school, they moved in together and have begun quests to achieve their life goals and be there for each other throughout it all. The ultimate bromance!
Known amongst friends as Luscious Leo, Leo Walter has always had an easy life. Women fall at his feet, he can make easy money from his love of diving, and making friends has never been a problem. As Leo gets older, the easy life is no longer appealing - he wants a challenge. Will this laid-back lothario be challenged in love or work or will Leo's life completely change?
Traits:
• Angler
• Hopeless Romantic
• Irresistible
• Loves the Outdoors
• Mooch
Skills:
• Fishing - 1
• Gardening - 1
• Scuba Diving - 1
Ellis Spencer
Ellis Spencer has always been comfortable with his nerdiness. He doesn't care much for fashion and just wears what he finds is clean. He has been focused on academics since he was a child, but although a self-proclaimed nerd, was never good at taking tests. Even with his brainiac nature, his low test scores kept him from getting a scholarship to go to university. Until Ellis can raise the money to go to university, he's worked in the bookstore - one of his favorite places in the world. Will Ellis realise his dream of going to university or is he destined to work in the store for the rest of his life?
Traits:
• Ambitious
• Bookworm
• Neat
• Perfectionist
• Socially Awkward
I tried to follow the below to make a home that you'd totally dig:
So I'll quit my rambling and may I present to you:
The Banoi
download•here
This tropical 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is perfect for the Sims that want a relaxing vibe. Make sushi in the gormet kitchen or practice mixing drinks in the bar just off of the dining room. Outside provides the ultimate laid-back experience - watch the stars from the hot tub, congregate around the firepit, gather friends around the dominoes table for fun or get your creative juices flowing at the easel. At The Banoi, a tropical oasis, there is something for everyone.
Features:
• 30x20 lot
• Gourmet kitchen
• Bar in dining room
• Foosball table
• Laundry room
• Easel on wrap around porch
• Playtested and upgraded
Let's take a tour, shall we?
How 'bout we start by moseying around the grounds?
It's getting hot outside. Shall we cool off indoors? This way, please!
Just off the entry, we continue on into the open kitchen/dining area
Want to chillax in the lounge?
Up the stairs we go!
Half bath and laundry just off the upstairs landing
Full bath
The bedrooms both feature double beds; one has a fire feature, while the other has a walk in closet
And how 'bout them overviews, just so you can see it all in one shot
Welp, that's all folks. I sincerely hope you enjoy this property as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Now, I'd like one thing from you, if you please!
Could you please list any items that you're missing from the above gifts? I'd like to make sure everything is complete!

I'll be back x
Bellamy is an adorable sim! I really love her ears, purple eyes and nose.
Those are great pictures of her. Some sims really sell the facial expressions and she sells them well. Really love the ones of her at the hotdog eating stand and the one with the disgusted look on her face.
Installing her right now to take a look in game.

Stay tuned...I can't wait to come back with my final gift for @Catdog123 tomorrow!
I'm super happy that you like him. It's been awhile since I played with vampires and I remember how fun they were. Would love to hear if Holden is destined for eternal nightlife or if he'll find the cure and settle down once and for all. ENJOY!

Bellamy is so cute! And you have so many great pics of her
Holden has such a fascinating backstory; great job!
And Leo and Ellis look like a fun pair; I agree with Catdog 123; it would be fun to send them off to uni
Rec'd!
I'm super excited that you dig them. They were a lot of fun to make and I really wanted to play on them being complete opposites, but best friends. Can't wait to hear about their adventures at uni! Have fun!
