Does anyone else find it creepy that...

THIS Sim is a MOTHER!? Correct me if I'm wrong b'cause I think that's a bit sick.



I love what you do Plum-barb, but come on! Ick! That is taking the concept of a baby face to a whole other level. Seriously. Correct if I'm wrong...but just no. LOL. Just NO. 

See for yourself

Skin :0

Sul-Sul.


So I'm always scared to look into downloading skin because it seems as If ALL skin makers have naked mods! Like WTH! I do not find that necessary on any scale. 

Buuuuut, this one does not. Debating downloading, most likely WILL.







Here you are

Fashion Do's: Basics Addition

Today I have a little post I think everyone can enjoy :P

It's a short list of basics that are always fashionable and can go with everything! Plus, links to the best quality for each item. Hope you enjoy.


The Form-fitting Crop Top
 
This basic crop top goes with anything and looks dazzling on any Sim with it's form fitting design. It's a staple in real closets, and now pixelated ones.

I may seem like I’m dying but I won’t die

Top - Rings - Skirt - Shoes

 
 
 
 
 
 
The Free-flowing Maxi Skirt
In the closets of everyone from hippies to mommies to grundgy goths, this free-flowing maxi skirt is a basic necessity. 
 
 
 
 
 
Grab one  
 
 
Layers For The Active Sim
 
What Sim on the go doesn't layer their gym clothes or swim suites or even just leotards like camis? What about leggings that are full body? This set by Daluved1 isn't just for ballerinas, it's for the Sim on the go! 
 
 
 
 
I am too lazy to explain layering so here's a quote from creator, Daluved1:
 
"In addition to the full-body outfits, there are accessory versions of the suits, as well. The accessory versions can be used if you choose to layer the suits under clothing for that "headed to dance class" look. They are found in every outfit category (including career) and are marked as rings (left)." 
 
As a bonus you can also receive Deluved's custom dance tights on the same page. Take a gander!

Jus' Simblrn'

Sul-Sul.

Just enjoying a lazy day of sleeping in late and browsing Tumblr :).

I got two new sites stuffed with CC for you to enjoy...or hate me  because you were trying to quit. Sorry. Know how it feels!! LOL

Anyway, here. The first one is Pocketful Of Pixels. As far as I can tell this creator specializes in hair retextures, which I love b'cause I'm an all-out EA matcher.

OMT: I would not recommend the male hairstyles. This is just according to my style interests. I like my pixel guys to have more curly hair than straight hair. I think it makes them look more artistic, sensitive, distinguished than...skater. That's just me though!

All These Hairs Can Be Found With A Little Patience By Using The Directory- Sorry I Couldn't Help More But This Is A Tumblr ;) 


Next is a Simmer by the name of Pixicat.

I love the shoes.

My Thoughts On Sims 3 New York City World "Big Apple"

Sul-sul.

Many of you may have seen "The Big Apple", a world by Horus. It IS beautiful, but my thoughts are here (BTW: If you are excited you may not want to read my thoughts : /) 

Before I write about this world, here are a few pics from the official blog.

Screenshot-353

Screenshot-351


My Thoughts:

This world appears to be a simple case of show pony-ness. Yes, it is pretty, but it designed more to tickle the flavor of a pretty atmosphere more than an avid simmer. Fun to look at it, sad to play. This world is coated in a thick layer of CC faux-window wallpaper and detailed décor. Going through more pictures in the gallery, everything looks kind of closed off, like the creator simply took a 3D photo of the streets of NYC. Going through the photos, your brain can sketch out many the dreamy possibility. Your Sim sipping lattes or jogging around central park or catching a cab in the vibrant streets of New York, New York. No. Sorry. What we see here is the Bridgeport disappointment times...I don't know...a lot! With EA's engines, there will be no traffic, no coffee house with a full stock of buzzing patrons. Nope. Just a ghost town NY, which really isn't New York at all. Also? All signs are ACTUAL ADS. I do not like this. I'm one of those people who likes my CC EA-matched and my Simlish authentic (SIMLISH!) I don't want the mammoth faces of Jennifer Aniston and the tomato hues of Macy's all over my game. No thanks, that's not my definition of Realismish ;).  Don't get me wrong, I have a heart :)! Obviously, this creator by the name of Horus is a divine creator who knows his way around customization programs along with the ability to jump through CAW's intricate hoops. Sure! But what he has spent a long time creating is an art project. Which is totally fine...for the creator. But downloaders looking for a REAL city will be disappointed around the first hour or two of gameplay. This world is simply a huge, virtual art project. For these reasons, I will not download. There is also the fact that I am a stubborn lap top user and no way I am loading this up into my CC-infested game. No thanks, but great job.

You are clearly talented...at digital art :).  



NOTE: This world is in the beta stage!

In Small News...

The Sims 3 Forum is officially closed for posting. Saaaaaad. 

I find this sadder than I thought I would. Wow. I didn't even get on it as much as everybody else. Just wow. 


That is all, I guess :)

In Sims 4 News...

Sul-Sul!

Oookay, so I have not been the most excited about the TS4. Admittedly. Buuuut, these pics at Sims VIP, just made me a little bit excited. I'll give you a preview of my favorites :)!

OK! Just found out that Flickr does NOT let me use the copy button. WELL!
So, I'm getting low-quality previews from Sims VIP. Oh wellll. Here's another, I guess.

In Progress

Sul-sul! Lol.

I may not update for a bit because I'm compiling a 10-15 item theme favorites list. I can't decide. If I'm riled up, it will be 15, if not, 10. 

I'm not telling the theme but it's in kind of the same genre as my most recent list below.

Can you guess? :d

Byeeee.


BTW, IDK what I meant by that emoticon. Licking peanut butter off my nose? Eh. Who cares.

Family Clutter

Hi-lo!

I think one of my favorite types of CC is clutter. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find the charming clutter you are looking for. That's why I am taking on the task of find some CC that screams "cluttered family home".

My inspiration is this home. I remade it for Sycamore County, but I really did not have the huge amount of clutter to really make it as charming. 

Small Quarters 4.0 Challenge

Small Quarters 4.0 Challenge

This is the interior of Jenba's small family home. It's the inspiration behind my love of clutter. 

 
 
Anyway, I'm off to find a top 5 list of the BEST family clutter! Ready, set GOO!
 
 
 
1.) Toys- What is a family house with out a sprinkling of toys? With this MTS download you don't ever have to find out :)! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks, Purplepaws!
 
  It's Play Time!  
 
 
 
 
2.)Hand-Sewn Pillows- In a cozy family home, it's only natural to have pillows that are as warm, cozy and worn out as you are! ;) With these adorable and child-like owl pillows, you can spruce up your room and shout to the world "Kids before mature style!!"

Thank you sooo very much, Sixtyten. 
 
It's TV Time! 
 
 
3.) Boost Them Up- Make any room in your home really come to life with this Ikea foot stool! In fun colors and plenty of room for toy clutter, this is the accent that really makes your home look lived-in.
 
Around the Sims 3 
 
Thanks for your talent, Sandy @ Around The Sims 3
 
 
 
4.)Show Them Off- What family abode does not show off their pride-and-joy across their scuffed and crayon-ed walls? Not many! Now you can, too with these 2 forms of kiddie photographs in frames. One, a cute family threesome. One, a school photo.

Thanks for your talent, Sandy @ Around The Sims 3 
 
It's Picture Day!
 
It's Cocoa Time!   
 
 
5.)Color Outside The Lines- clutter the kitchen table, dining table, desk, island or even floor with the paste, crayons and safety scissors that get you and your little one's creative juices flowing.
 This clutter-ified MTS set will turn the refrigerator into the Louvre in no time. 

 
 
  




Well, I hope you liked my list! I'm excited and I already know my next theme. HINT: It connects to this :). 


Don't Eat The Paste 


P.S.
I have no idea why the font keeps going on and off that Typewriter style. I keep trying to edit it. No luck. Oh well.

Look, A Nook!

Hi Hi. It's me. 


I just found Awesim's Nook Set and I am in love <3! Care to gander? 

Nook Seating & Table Preview - Free Sims 3 Downloads from Awesims!

I just thought I would post a quick something because I am in the process of one of my lists of things I stop breathing over. LOL. It will probably be published tomorrow morning. 


Enjoy :).


Sims 3 "literature"

Sup. JK. Never say sup.

I think something really fun to do in my free time is to read Sims 3 stories. Like real stories, not the clickable garbage on the exchange. 

My two verrry favorites are My Darling by Mosneakers (Go gen 3!!)
and The Al-Habri Family by Procasimnation (can you do no wrong, Proca? Perfection!) 

I think my closest runner-up would be A Second Chance by Tashie Baby. But I find I'm not as enthralled as I am with the two above. Got it? 

I'll supply the links.


 
 
 
 
 
 
All of the links go directly to either the first chapter or the Home page. Either way they should be easy to maneuver.   
 
 


The Best Sims 3 Piercing Set

Back.


Right now, I'm just kind of going through my stuff and thinking "what do I like enough to share?"

Then...

SPROI-OI-OI-NGGG!

The Layerable Piercing Set by Winry. Of course!

If you don't have this and have Simmies living in the city you need this! What urban landscape is complete without piercings? God EA is wholesome...especially w/ Sims 3. I mean, I think I even recall SIMS 2 having a single nose stud. I used it with, like, all my Sims. It rocked. But, like many a wise Simmer has stated: Sims 3 without CC is grit-less. The city landscape isn't hipster or gritty or cool or grunge...it's *ick* pop star-ish. Sure, Bridgeport's pretty, but I really can't play it for long. I hate the empty clubs (so depressing to see those flashing lights and long expanses of dance floors with no dancers) and the general theme of bleach blonde pop stars. Give me indie grit! :O

Ok, I'm done. Lol. 

Annnnywaaaay, this is a layerable piercing set (meaning you can be a metal face if you wish) but I mostly just use the nose and lip piercings and sparingly. 

They are free on MTS so they can be trusted (View "The Difference" page for info on what I view cannot be)

Pictures, anyone?



 





Oh, and more thing. PLLLEEEASE view Winry's how-to-use info to, well, use. It's pretty simple but you still need to know it to use it. Okaaay? Riiiight? 


Good.
 



The Swimsuit Authority For The Whole Family!

Hey guys!

Today I found this awesome set by Simmie creator, liegt. 

It's a huge set of great mix and match suites for female and male sims. This includes kids, teens, young adults and adults. 

I am personally downloading this after this post ASAP. It's great and have such a real, modern style. Very realismish, if I do say so myself :D. 

I think one thing I am very excited about is the included trunks for boys. Yesss! I hate those tiny shorts! What boy wears those anyway? I haven't seen any in the U.S. but hey...who knows? 

I'll quote from le site, ahem:

  • "10 variations of board shorts for YA Males
  • 4 Monokinis for YA females
  • 3 Bikini tops for YA females (enabled for everyday as well)
  • 3 Bikini bottoms for YA females
  • 3 Monokinis for teen females
  • 2 Bikini tops for teen females
  • 2 Bikini bottoms for teen females
  • 5 Board shorts for teen males
  • 2 Board shorts for boys
  • 2 Swimsuits for girls
  • Extra 6 beach towels (ea rug re-meshed by me)" <<<YUP, this comes, too. :)))) 

  • Le pictures. Ah yes. Mmm hmmm.





    Y'like?
    A big THANK YOUUU to liegt. *CLAP CLAP*.

    The Eyes I Use!

    Hello.

    I took all my will power to stop posting yesterday and save some words for today! :)

    Today I simply have a wonderful set of eyes from the divine Simblr and creator, Procasimnation. She's really the best! 

    I think these eyes are beautifully done and they are my choice eyes for my pixel beings. 



    Enjooooy! :D
