Grant Charles is a premade who shows up sometimes in the Magic Realm. My newest YA Spellcaster, Brodie Hart, met him there while introducing himself to the Three Sages, to learn the ultimate Mischief, Practical and Untamed spells. They hit it off so well, Brodie asked him to move in. Once it was plain that the whole extended family really like him (Brodie's dad baked a cake as a big hint), they eloped tonight.
Seen here with a longer hairstyle, and a deep Sulani suntan. He's a young adult, not a teen, and wearing swim trunks, honest!
There may have been a little bit of death at Tiger's dinner party........ Tiger is surprised as the rest of us that he generously threw a dinner party for his declared enemies and various annoying neighbours and people just started dying. 10 guests and 3 survived - a pretty good party in any evil sims books!
"Never mind that. You realize you only know three spells so far, right? And those won't help you much in a duel."
"Oh. Yeah, but I can do it, I know I can."
"You don't even have a familiar yet."
"So? You can be my familiar. Dad's only an alchemist anyway. I can take him!"
Well, the kid was confident, so I let him give it a go. Next thing I knew, the early morning air in front of their home was crackling with magical energy.

The duel lasted considerably longer than I expected. Things were looking good for Rami. He got the first hit and staggered his father. He got in quite a few successful hits, in fact, and also managed to escape many of his dad's retaliatory strikes.
But the inevitable happened. The father's experience eventually overcame the son's confidence, and poor Rami learned a hard lesson that morning. Ouch.
Happily, Rami forgave his dad for the humiliation. After all, it was only his first duel ever. He whispered in Dad's ear that he'd win the duel another day.
FYI: Just because you can see my signature, don't assume that I can see yours.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Bella and Mortimer went sledding together for the first time.

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 ... How do you create/capture such awesome pictures? Is it the artist in you? Amazing pic by the way.
Thank you @Hearts4u!
I have different methods for taking the shots but the pause button (0) the cinema (tab) mode and a wee bit of patience are crucial before I capture anything. I discuss under the spoiler since it’s a little text heavy for an image thread...
My images are either spontaneous or planned.
Sometimes I just hit PAUSE at the right moment and capture what I see.
A lot of the time my active sims give me inspiration because of something they’re doing. At those times I like to recap and enhance that feeling by directing the sims where and how I want them to be and make sure the lighting works and the camera is positioned correctly to capture that mood.
Other times I just have an idea for an image which I then want to create in one of my saves. This means I think about the theme and composition beforehand.
I don’t use custom poses or pose player, so creating these stills requires a lot of patience from me. I’m talking nature documentary style patience and a lot of takes! 😅 There are probably about 10 different takes behind each still that you can see from me here. Most of the screenshots in this thread are not literally the last screenshots but rather one screenshot from the last series of takes.
Because I stopped using shaders in my game I give the image a minimal treatment in photoshop, only to boost color or desaturate and enhance the contrast. I also crop it in order to remove all unnecessary elements and focus on what’s important.
In the case of the beach image above, I had to wait for the weather, the waves, the birds and the sim to be in the correct state and position for the shot. Once I hit pause at the right moment I was able to position the camera and press “c”.
Sorry that I have nothing to share now after all that talk. 😅
I tried to get Camryn to go to bed, but she kept telling me she couldn't. So I looked upstairs and found something sticking up through her mattress. I reached under the bed and dragged whatever it was out ... a Grim Reaper Gnome from Harvestfest!
A Death Gnome under the bed. How creepy is that! 😲
Thanks for sharing, It's difficult to find the perfect spot and lightning... some things that have helped for me is twistedmexi's build cam mod, with that I can switch the time of day, to morning, afternoon etc. so it's a bit limited but it's nice to have the option.
I still use reshade, I like that I can use that to increase or lower the color intensity directly in the game or add a color tint.
A little strange in the winter with all that snow on top of the plant.
But hey Vanessa is in the gardening career, we don't have enough money for a greenhouse, we need to Harvest to get promoted and Holly grows in the winter!
From yesterday. My Global Superstar, winding down after his youngest aged into a Child. Thorne Bailey, a friend since Erik was on the rise, being neighbors, was in attendance for the party.
I created Laurence in story mode in an effort to add some interesting townies to my save ... and now I can't stop playing him because I think he is so cute. So I guess I just added another active household to my save.

"Hey kid, wanna challenge your dad to a duel?"
"What? Yeah! Wait, who are you?"
"Never mind that. You realize you only know three spells so far, right? And those won't help you much in a duel."
"Oh. Yeah, but I can do it, I know I can."
"You don't even have a familiar yet."

@blueybluesky Trust me, he's my kind of treat, scary and all.😏 I will say though that waist coat looks like CC correct?
Still, that redo is very awesome! Much less scary than the original haha
