Welcome to AlphaFFrog’s Attic of Awesomer! Misbegotten sequel to my Sims 3 AlphaFFrog's Attic of Awesome! I hope to fill this thread with sims, rooms, exclamation marks, occasional builds and bucket loads of misplaced enthusiasm! All play tested with No CC and a severe lack of natural talent! Please, feel free to ask questions, give criticism and have a good time (unlikely…. mandatory!) <3

Thank you for visiting! I hope you find what you’re looking for :) and if what I make is what you’re looking for then you need to seriously reconsider your life choices :unamused:

    Theme Rockabilly aka Boogie Woogie straight down to Juvie
    .…………………….

    The Hinton Sisters

    Ready to shake, rattle and roll her eyes at a moment’s notice teen tearaway Cherri Hinton is not the kind of girl who takes kindly to older sisters, bobby socks or older sisters called Betty-Mae who alphabetise and colour code their bobby socks. Stuck with a parental guardian/sister/void of un-hip, who thinks a cool cat is a pet with hypothermia, Cherri bitterly regrets the day her parents skipped town to follow The King on tour leaving her with just a headscarf, an Elvis complex and a persistent belief that they were "just popping out for some milk"….. for three years….


    Cherri exhibiting her ability to ignore the blatantly obvious

    x3NPH1g.png


    Now stuck in Smalltownsville, USA a town so square it accidentally invented the right angle, Cherri is doing her very best to make it happening, hip or any other bone structure with a one-woman teen rebellion. Rocking around the clock, twisting the night away and (allegedly) starting at least two great balls of fire. So far she has been met with a satisfying mount of police cautions, but Betty-Mae greets her with nothing but a home-cooked meal and a side helping of unconditional love and support….. it’s the worst…. apart from the cooking which tastes pretty good :yum:


    Betty-Mae realising AlphaFFrog’s decision to colour co-ordinate the kitchen with her outfit was the least of her problems :unamused:

    We91EcM.png


    Until the day Cherri decided to crash the local country club for her live action remake of Jailhouse Rock…. complete with real-life convicts. Simultaneously ruining Betty-Mae’s hopes of moving up in the world and introducing the mayor and his wife to Texas "Open to Anything" Curtis. Now the atmosphere at home, and the mayor’s office, makes the Cold War look like just a slightly awkward tea party. Has Cherri gone too far and driven Betty-Mae to start a rebellion of her own? Are the sisters heading straight for Heartbreak Hotel? :heartbreak: Or will Cherri realise that, when it comes her sister, she might just be a rebel without a cause? :hushed:


    Cherri Hinton
    Traits: Dance machine, Glutton
    Aspiration: Chief of Mischief
    Skills: Getting the local authorities, and her sister, all shook up B)

    Outfits (l-r) Everyday, formal, athletic, sleep, party, swimwear, hot, cold

    P.S Cherri would never steal from Betty-Mae’s wardrobe! The clothes just fell on her accidentally! :innocent:

    …………….

    What The Butler Saw

    Having Majored in Silent Snobbery and minored in Blaming The Footman, Sam Jenkins the butler is prepared for anything. When Miss Olivia accidentally became a cat burglar... for five years... or when Master John accidentally married a…. camel*... Jenkins was there to hold the lockpicks and take the inappropriate wedding photos. Now retired and leaving his room behind, Jenkins is eager to do something less stressful with his life like cow plant wrestling or Russian roulette :unamused:


    An overview of a life’s work and at least three missing museum pieces … I mean … presents from Miss Olivia :kissing: …..

    It is great that you have set up a showcase thread for your Sims 4 creations! :)
    I will repost here what I wrote about your room in the other thread
    What the Butler Saw is a lovely bedroom for a butler! :) The furnishing and layout of the room is lovely! Very nice pattered wall panelling, and the brown and blue color scheme is very nice, Very nice corner study area for Sims to keep in contact with family and friends through the computer after their workday is over. The portraits on the wall are a great touch there, and it is great that the non disclosure agreement is framed and is on the wall! The swords are a little scary there! I hope sims don’t need to use them! Very nice fireplace sitting area to enjoy relaxing there after the stress of the day, reading books from the bookcase and the coffee table , having a calming cup of tea from the teaset and listening to music from the gramophone. The vases of flowers either sides of the statue, family shield on the wall and the clock,vases and scrolls on the fireplace ledge are very nice touches. It is great that the Butler’s diploma from butler school is on the bedhead wall.
    It is a very nice Butler’s bedroom :)

    The Hinton Sisters are very nice Sims for the rockabilly challenge! :) Very creatively written background details about them! The rockabilly theme in the description is great! Their clothing and hairstyles are very nice and suit the theme well!

    Theme: Star Wars

    ……...

    Danika Guerra - A Staar Wars Story

    After picking up her lightsaber from the pointy burning end too many times to count (36 and a half), young Danika Guerra was kicked out of Jedi training by master Obi-Wan Ke-nobody just as he was imprisoned for fraud and blatant copyright infringement. Narrowly escaping the descent of the Rebel Alliance’s armada of copy-right lawyers and forensic accountants, Danika, finally realising why three hours a day of her Jedi training was spent sewing "Staar Wars: A New Pope" t-shirts, abandoned her calling for a new life and a one-way ticket to Batuu


    This is not the droid you’re looking for…. because it’s a sim… I thought that was fairly obvious :unamused:

    cxG7a5f.png


    Armed with only her excellent education, a cheery moral ambiguity and the mistaken belief that stormtroopers are the Emperor’s meteorological unit, Danika arrived in a sunny Batuu that looked suspiciously like something AlphaFFrog threw together in Oasis Springs. After a confusing conversation with a local bounty hunter, who was clearly her type having two feet (optional) and a pulse (also optional), on how exactly to pronounce Batuu (two or tao?), Danika discovered the planet was more divided than public opinion on a Star Wars prequel trilogy….

    Oasis Springs ...Batuu a place where random townie fashion choices finally make sense :|

    PR7fKTs.png


    Needing to avoid The Resistance having gotten her hands burnt, literally 36 and a half too many times, before and wary of The First Order a side so dark they made stormtroopers wear white after Labor Day, Danika wound up lost and alone in Black Spire market. On a new world with no Jedi masters, dawn starts or lessons on painting Millennium Hawk models Danika looked around and she finally picked a side ... her own … and she suddenly felt ….. free. Free to find her own destiny, adventure, a romance (or three) and, most importantly, free to sell bootleg Ewok hot water bottles … o:)

    Danika Guerra
    Traits: Cheerful, Clumsy, Materialistic
    Aspiration: Serial Romancer
    Skills: Having a moral ambiguity so wide you could fly a Death Star through it

    Outfits (l-r) Everyday, formal, athletic, sleep, party, swimwear, hot, cold

    Disclaimer: AlphaFFrog doesn’t endorse copyright infringement, illegal merchandising or using Ewoks as hot water bottles however furry they may be

    Theme: A Bathroom designed with vanilla ice cream and one other ice cream flavour in mind – I chose Green Tea because Blue Tea hasn’t been invented yet :kissing:

    ……...

    Green Tea & Sympathy

    After a day of tasting ice cream, eating ice cream and writing musicals about dancing ice cream (don’t ask) what better way to relax than meditating in a Green Tea Ice Cream bathroom? Having a full set of teeth? Intensive therapy? Realising you have a crippling ice cream dependency? Not in a month of sundaes!! Ignore the screaming voice inside that says you have a problem! Even if it got a PHD at dental school! :weary:


    This weeks theme coincided with me getting the Spa Day pack. I wonder if you can tell :kissing:

    A bird’s eye view - because your sugar high just got literal :unamused:

    Relax in the bath while all your troubles... and dental bills…. disappear*

    Green Tea & Sympathy is a lovely restful green tea and vanilla icecream flavoured bathroom! :) The green and white colours are beautiful and calming! Very nice layout and furnishings of the room! The softly coloured green tea walls and flooring are very nice! Very nice nook area where Sims can quietly meditate on the vanilla meditation stool. The leafy wall art is relaxing for Sims to look at whilst meditating, and reflects green tea and vanilla colors well! Sims will enjoy having a lovely calming cup of green tea from the tea brewer, that looks great on the curved white corner, whilst in the room. It is very nice that a peaceful candles wall separates off the nook. Very lovely bath tub nook! The calming green tea coloured bamboo plants around the bath tub are very nice! The white circular mirror is very nice on the wall. Very nice vanilla colured shower nook for Sims to enjoy having a shower then using the white towel. The green and white toilet is great, and very nice sink counter. The green tea coloured towels on the sink counter are very nice for Sims to use. The wall mirror is nice for Sims to check their appearance whilst using the sink.Sims will enjoy sitting relaxing on the green chair, having a drink from the drinks tray, and wearing the vanilla bath robe. The green diamonds shapes on the middle area of the room are very nice! The green coloured incense will bring a lovely aroma to the room.
    It is a very peaceful, calming green tea and vanilla flavour room! Thankyou again very much for entering this week’s challenge! :)

    Sims 4: Motor Mayhem – Never coming to stores near you!

    Welcome to Ford Valley! Home to an oil reservoir so over-exploited it’s suing for damages! First discovered in 1885 by passing geologically aware llamas who were immediately slaughtered by a passing ecologically unaware wagon train. They then made the llama the valley’s mascot because irony hadn’t been invented yet. Over a hundred years and a billion dollars in llama reparations later Ford Valley is a thriving example of industrial collapse and local government mismanagement!

    The annual Llama Liberation Day parade described by a visiting diplomat as "crassly insensitive"

    mP4rMWV.png

    Don’t know where to start? Try the slum tenements of Tyre Skid Row! Post-industrial abandonment never looked so sexy! Rarely visited after locals learned to strip a car of its hubcaps faster than mothers-in-law strip you of your dignity, Tyre Skid Row is a hive of authentic off the tourist trail criminal activity! Between illegal street races, rusty tattoo parlours and the, still technically a crime scene, dive bars there are plenty of ways to extend your stay with an unplanned trip to the ICU!

    Local residents and Tourist Board PR puppets whose names I wasn’t paid to ask…...wait…. I’m not paid for this either :unamused:

    8n8S5eW.png

    A romantic night out scavenging for car parts by the local tyre fire not your style? Find the physicality of failed capitalism too depressing? Fear not! Your Anniversary trip isn’t ruined! Visit the gleaming skyscrapers of Petroleum Heights! Home to most of the missing oil money and the Llamborghini racing team! Looking for a souvenir or a way to make your neighbours hate you besides your personality? Buy a Llamborghini of your own and head to the drive-in for a screening of Sul Paul’s Drag Race! Or speed through the hairpin bends and natural wonders of Carburetor Creek joining its ever-increasing accident figures! Whatever you decide, we hope you buy comprehensive insurance enjoy your trip and remember whether your visit is brief or you stay Ford Valley is only a hair-raising drive away! :sunglasses:

    Oh, that makes me happy that you want to see my builds! My EA ID on the Gallery is: DonroaAkashu; but there are just a few uploads though, since I've only played for a year and do not upload what I build for my playsave. I'm making The Sun King's castle now, I expect my game to crash every time I load it. And permission granted to hunt me down, if for such a pleasant reason.
