Sims 4 - Vanilla+ Mod List:

For a while, I have wanted to make a mod and custom content master list of all the mods I use on a regular basis to enhance the game to look somewhat presentable and ‘aesthetic’. So, without further a-do, here it is!

I’ve put the list under a cut because it’s long - you can also read this post on my Patreon [here] if you find that easier!

Hobbit Fic Rec List

Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies AU

Hey you lovely people! The second installment to some amazing Bagginshield fics that everybody should read, let us dive back into the terrains of Middle Earth and enjoy some Fluff, angst and humour!

……*…..

Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme by frumpkinisfae            

The battle is won, but the story isn’t over. The rightful King Under the Mountain still recovers. Dwarves, Men, and Elves are still mending and straining old and new truces. The Erebor and Dale need to be rebuilt. As you can see, there’s oh so much to do.And Bilbo? Well, Bilbo is well and truly tired of big folks’ nonsense. It’s time for reconciliation and moving onward. In fact, when Bilbo thinks about it he may not even be thinking about politics anymore. It’s time to gather up his strength and to gather up his dwarves. Not just for himself, but the little surprise he picked up along the way.Well, this is just the start of a few more adventures

WIP, and a pretty good fun ride.

it’s all good by vtforpedro           

In which Bilbo and Thorin are tasked with finding two lost hobbits on the road to Michel Delving and reminisce about their own journey, which isn’t quite so painful anymore.

A really cute slice of life. 

The Bagginses of Bag End by darth_stitch 

The Bagginses of Bag End have always had a reputation for oddness, ever since Mr. Bilbo Baggins ran off into the Wild with thirteen Dwarves and a Wizard.

Mr. Bilbo did return to Bag End eventually, though he was much changed.  

And later on, three Dwarves, who didn’t arrive all at the same time, eventually made their home at Bag End with Mr. Bilbo.  And much later on, little Frodo Baggins would complete their family.  

They were always an odd little family but life went on peacefully in the Shire, until Gandalf the Grey came and brought trouble as usual.

love is blindness  by unpeumacabre               

There was a click as Bilbo thrust open his door and glared out on Dwalin’s grave face. “Did Thorin send you?” demanded Bilbo, too incensed to care about propriety. “He wants to see you,” rumbled Dwalin. “He’s sorry.” “I like that!” shouted Bilbo. “Oh, I like that, very much! Well, you can tell the king, he can bloody well come and tell me himself, if he can find the time out of his busy schedule, and if it so pleases him!” and he slammed the door in Dwalin’s face. * Things have changed ever since Thorin’s gold-sickness, and Bilbo no longer knows what to think of his relationship with Thorin. When he becomes the object of affections from a new dwarf friend of his, Thorin’s seemingly-easy acceptance of their relationship both infuriates and confuses him. or, the one where Bilbo is courted, and Thorin doesn’t want to interfere, bc he is NOT a dark fuck prince, and he wants Bilbo to be happy most of all.

Letters to Erebor by serenbach        

After the Battle of Five Armies and Bilbo’s return to the Shire, many letters are sent to (and from) Erebor.

For the love_bingo prompt ‘lots of love.’

Just these two idiots being the two idiots they are…

Stretched Out On Your Grave, I’ll Lie Here Forever by celedan

Thorin disappeared after the Battle of the Five Armies, in all likeliness dead. And so, since Bilbo is his husband, he becomes King Under the Mountain. How is he, a simple Hobbit from the Shire who just has his heart broken into a thousand pieces by grief supposed to rule over the grandest Dwarven kingdom in Middle Earth all on his own?!

Something to Start With by MulaSaWala, storyforsomeone

“What is that?” Thorin follows his gaze. “Oh, that. During the fight with Azog he stabbed me through the foot from beneath the ice.” “He did what?!” Bilbo near yelps, and sure enough, now that he looks closer he can see where Azog’s blade must have pierced the top of the boot. Valar above, it had cleaved straight through. “Thorin, why in Eru’s name hasn’t this been looked at?” Thorin stares at him like he had forgotten Bilbo was an idiot. “I expect Óin had more pressing matters to attend to. Like, I suppose, the mortal stab wound in my chest.” _Or, where some things get lost in translation, courting mishaps have the whole kingdom losing their minds, and simple acts of kindness and love can go a long way.

Pining, misunderstanding, bets, humour and cultural differences. Need I say more?

A Passion For Mushrooms  by Chrononautical      

There are many trials for a hobbit attempting to make a life among dwarves. A hobbit wants a garden. A hobbit wants to eat regular meals. A hobbit wants friends, good books, and comfortable chairs. Bilbo does his best to carve out a little hobbit life for himself in the mountain. If only there were not one final obstacle. For a hobbit heart wants love, and among dwarves that is a sticky subject.

An Unexpected Addition  by karategal        

All of the dwarves survive the Battle of the Five Armies, but Bilbo must return to the Shire to sort out his old life and make way for a new one in Erebor. Over one year later, Bilbo comes back to the Lonely Mountain with a recently orphaned Frodo. King Thorin isn’t quite sure what to make of this new, tiny addition to his Company.

i wouldn’t have danced like that with any but you by Percyjacksonfan3               

Thorin has survived the Battle of the Five Armies but his relationship with Bilbo is uncertain and precarious, especially in the newly reclaimed kingdom of Erebor. With Kíli set to marry Tauriel, and the Dwarves of Erebor still holding prejudice against outside races, Thorin must choose between his nephew’s happiness or his own.

Though he believes sending Bilbo back to the Shire is for the good of everyone, he and the rest of Erebor are thrown into turmoil when 5 years later his nephews secretly plot to bring Bilbo back. Coming face-to-face with Bilbo again makes it impossible for Thorin to stay apart from him any longer- but is Bilbo still willing to be with Thorin once more after he broke both of their hearts?

Look, if you like angst and pining as much as I do, you have to read this story. it’s freaking awesome!!

For Cook and Cutlery by CoffioCake for Cephalopodqueen                

When Bilbo mentions missing his family’s collection of spoons, Thorin decides to fabricate a new set himself, even though he’s already busy rebuilding his kingdom: welcoming his people, placating former enemies, and keeping his advisors from marrying him off to the next-most politically advantageous partner…

Life would be infinitely simpler if Thorin could just focus on convincing Bilbo to stay. Meanwhile, Bilbo might actually get over his attraction to Thorin if he could just return to the Shire…

Every cloud has an inky lining by Kytanna for birdkeeperklink (speculating)

“I don’t know why I let you convince me to do this!” Bilbo wailed at Dwalin as the dwarrowdam above him stabbed his skin over and over again, carefully dripping the needle on the ink in between a few stabbings.

“Cause ye love Thorin, maybe? Also, I’ll have ye know my ideas are the best. Wasn’t it for it you would be still freeting about gifts and whatnots. Yer just a little wimpy…” Dwalin mumbled the last part as he grimaced, trying to counteract Bilbo’s accusations but he wasn’t fooled, as from where he was lying, the fool of a dwarf was more than a little sweaty trying to pry his white hand from Bilbo’s bruising grip.

 Or, Bilbo gets a tattoo for Thorin on the advice of Dwalin, despite his better judgment and extreme dislike of tattoos.

Roses of Iron by Porphyrios                

Two years after Bilbo returned from his adventures, he’s made his peace with being back in the Shire.  He still wonders what might have happened if things were different, but figures all that is behind him now.  A mysterious visitor turns out to be someone he never thought he’d see again, and he’s shocked by the news he hears.

Not what you would expect yet everything perfect. Just…perfect.

Growing Dwarves (And Kingdoms) by Lumeleo          

Sometimes, Bilbo finds, not everything goes according to plan.

First an injury and the coming winter delay his leaving Erebor, then word from the Shire leaves him mourning his beloved Bag End. And because getting added to Thorin’s council isn’t trouble enough, Kili is in love with an elf, Fili may or may not have his eyes on a certain little scribe, everyone seems to think he is a lady hobbit, and Thorin needs to find someone to marry.

Okay. So the last part might not be trouble, exactly, except for the part where it makes Bilbo’s rather hopeless attachment even more painful. Or it wouldn’t if he hadn’t possibly accidentally promised to provide Thorin with an heir… and Dáin just might still be scheming something.

Fortunately, if there’s one thing hobbits are good at, it’s growing things. And Thorin did promise him a garden.

One of the best stories out there!!! I love it so so bloody much!!!

Marriage of Necessity by Agent_Snark

In a desperate attempt to make sure someone he trusts rules over Erebor, Thorin marries Bilbo on what will probably be his deathbed, as well as that of his heirs. When all three Durins survive, Thorin’s marriage to Bilbo comes under scrutiny. Not everyone is happy with it.

Can We Get The Dragon Back? by harrypanther, vala411

AU: After BOTFA, the three Durins have survived but a far more dangerous fate awaits them. Thorin’s sister, Dis, is arriving and the King needs to explain to her what exactly has happened to her sons on the Quest…

Unpleasant Arrangements  byChrononautical                

The King Under the Mountain requires a consort. Bilbo is happy to help him find one. So. Very. Happy.

Something Blue by Lapin                

Thorin marries Bilbo after the Battle of Five Armies, a marriage of convenience, not love. Slowly, they must come to make the best of it, Bilbo resolves. After all, he’s a Hobbit. They make the best of things.

The Road goes ever on and on by paranoid_fridge   

Years after the battle, Thorin and Bilbo live in Erebor, though Thorin has left the crown to Fili. In that prosperous time, they are invited to the wedding of Dorwinion’s crown prince; and once on the road, Bilbo and Thorin find that they wouldn’t mind seeing a little more of the world.

What was supposed to be a diplomatic mission to Rhûn brings them to distant lands, lets them walk over a sea of stars, cross the Eastern Desert, and gaze at the shores at the end of the world. Far from home they make new friends, and find that the world is wider than they thought - there are hobbits living in the east, and dwarves from Erebor that found a home there after the dragon came.

And eventually that same road also leads them home.

A travel story you did not even know you needed. Brilliantly done and just leaves you in wonder.

What To Expect by alkjira  

The tags pretty much says it all, but this is the cracky story about Bilbo and Thorin and their kids. And other stuff. Like hamsters.

The most hilarious take on Mpreg and everything dwarven…Must Read!!

 Planting a Hobbit by northerntrash                

Bilbo liked Erebor, he really did. Even if everyone seemed convinced he was going to leave.

In which soil causes international incidents, Thorin is over-dramatic, and dwarves are rubbish at keeping secrets. Oh, and they build a garden. Eventually.

Dwarves being adorable Dwarves…

…….*…….

Have fun reading!!

When your fav boys do that sexy smirk thing… preferring to each other with the certainness: 

This hot stuff is mine and only mine!! 

IM WHEEZING!

Bagginshield Fic Recs!

I've been wanting to do a bagginshield fic recs for a long time now so here are my favorite fics so far for this pairing! I will be adding on new ones as I go ❤

Fix-It AUs :

A Shot in the Dark by Silver_pup — 213.2k words

Summary: When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in his old bed in his old home in his old body. Is this death? Or a trick of magic? Either way, Bilbo recognizes a second chance when he sees one, and this time his adventure with Thorin is going to go a bit differently.

An Expected Journey by MarieJacquelyn — 294.5k words

Summary:

“I just wish…”

“What do you wish?”

“I wish I could have changed it all.”

For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?

Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

Discovering Mr Baggins by Eareniel — 94.4k words

Summary: A.K.A. The Quest for Erebor:

The story of a Hobbit, told through the eyes of the dwarves.

Alternate Universes (Canon Divergence):

The Time for Home by Drenagon — 211.8k words

Summary: Bilbo Baggins doesn't fit in in the Shire. He's not a normal hobbit. That doesn't bother him.

Having his warnings ignored? Trying to help those who will not help themselves?

That bothers him.

The Color of Possibility by lindoreda — 17k words

Summary: When Bilbo puts himself between Thorin and Azog's blade, his mithril shirt protecting them both, it isn't long before some dwarves whisper that 'Oakenshield' might not be the best epithet for their king anymore. But for Bilbo, barred from Thorin's sight since the battle, this new epithet only adds to the sting. Spending his days caring for the recovering princes, Bilbo wonders how much more of this he can take, not suspecting his place at the center of a silent divide in the company.

The Nine Lives of Bilbo Baggins by captain (theoddoodisnude) — 15.3k words

Summary: He's not scared, but rather resigned. He doesn't want to die, not when he knows that it will be permanent, but he doesn't regret his actions. He's died many times on this journey; first for his Company, and then for people he could proudly call friends, who then turned into family.

And now Bilbo will die for them again.

For the first time in his life, he will also die for love. 

Call You Home by northerntrash — 12k words

Summary: In which the Company are entirely too nosy about matters that are supposed to be a secret, and Bilbo learns that being concerned about propriety is overrated when you could be making friends instead.

The Naming of Hobbits by Margo_Kim — 9.7k words**

Summary: There's a certain point where you can no longer ask someone what their name is. Thorin isn't sure exactly when that point is, but he knows that it's probably some time before the person in question saves your life. On the far side of the Misty Mountains, Thorin realizes that he never quite caught the first part of Mr. Baggins' name, and he finds that it's astonishingly harder to learn than he would have thought. Fili, Kili, and Dwalin are no help whatsoever.

**I literally didn't laugh this hard in a long while. Definitely worth a read! (And another, let's be honest).

Post BotFA AUs:

A Cultural Misunderstanding (series) by Lindzzz — 96k words

Summary: In which Thorin pushes, and Bilbo doesn't know how to handle emotions and finds himself engaged without realizing it.

(A fluffy "everyone lives" marriage AU)

The Riven Crown by BeautifulFiction — 254.3k words

Summary: ‘We may have won the battle, but I fear the war with winter is just beginning.’

The aftermath of war is no laughing matter. Those who died must be honoured, those who are wounded must be healed, and those who remain need food and clothing, peace and sanctuary. With Thorin's life hanging in the balance, it is up to Bilbo and the rest of the Company to rule the rag-tag remnants of Erebor in his place.

Then there is the matter of the gold...

Can Bilbo save both king and kingdom, or is Erebor destined to fall deeper into ruin?

All The Rivers Sound In My Body by pibroch (littleblackdog) — 5.7k words

Summary: As much as he might like to cut a natty figure in a proper waistcoat and trousers with a reasonable inseam, Bilbo knew there were many more important things to bother with at the moment.

Rebuilding an entire dwarven kingdom, for one. And airing out the stink of dragon would be nice as well.

An Unexpected Proposal by Eareniel — 100k words

Summary: As Bilbo sat smoking in his empty hobbit hole, he couldn’t help but wonder – when did his life become so boring? Or better yet – when did his old life stop being enough?

He suspected the answer to that question lay somewhere around the time when he had refused Thorin Oakenshield’s offer of marriage.

Mother-Tongue by northerntrash — 24.9k words

Summary: Forget-me-not: a small flower, with four petals, which are normally found in shades of blue with a pink or white centre. These are traditional flowers of intent in the Shire, used to express true love, and remembrance.

In which Bilbo plans to leave Erebor, and Thorin tries to understand why.

Modern AUs:

For This by northerntrash — 8k words

Summary: Thorin Durin had lived in his new flat for approximately eighty four minutes when things started to go terribly, terribly wrong. The wrongness came in the form of a package, delivered to his door, wrapped in brown paper and string, with a small tag wishing him a very sincere welcome to the building.

Just To Be by northerntrash — 22.2k words

Summary: Thorin hadn’t really wanted to go on holiday. That was why he hadn’t been on one for over a decade – not, despite what his siblings might say, because he had problems letting go of work and letting other people have control over their own hotel, which definitely wasn’t his entire life, no matter what the opinions of his family might have been on the matter.

In which people go on holiday, and find a little bit of home.

The making of a story by northerntrash — 16k words

Summary: When Bilbo finds a case of old family photographs, he becomes determined to find the original owners: what he does not expect is to become quite so involved in their lives, or that those photographs should prove quite so important.

One-sided conversations by northerntrash — 94.9k words

Summary: "Thank you for listening," Thorin said, getting to his feet. "I hope to be able to return the favour, one day."

The man on the bed didn't respond, but since he'd been in a coma for longer than Thorin had known him, that wasn't entirely surprising.

Candid by northerntrash — 42.3k words

Summary: Thorin wasn't entirely sure why there was a six-foot candid photograph of him hanging in this exhibition, but he was going to wring the neck of whoever had put it there.

In which Bilbo is a photographer, Thorin an accidental model, and Gandalf just likes to make trouble for everyone.

Nothing Gold Can Stay by perkynurples — 296.3k words

Summary: Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an adventure?

Some Magical Occurence by Drenagon — 9.5k words

Summary: Bilbo could use some magic if he's going to get the annual Christmas event at Goldmine Books to run as planned.

Instead he has Bofur, Ori and a serious case of building panic.

Then the Durins arrive.

Plan B by Drenagon — 85.7k words

Summary: Plan B: an alternative strategy; a contingency plan, devised for an outcome other than the expected plan.

Or, sending an unqualified temp to act as Thorin Oakenshield's PA because no one qualified can put up with him.

(He'd say they can't meet his standards. Of course he would.)

Meet Bilbo Baggins. He just became Plan B.

idylls of the king by aerospaces — 16.1k words

Summary: Thorin a single parent/uncle, Bilbo babysits. Fili and Kili are a handful. Essentially NANNY AU where Thorin is a perturbed Detective Inspector navigating through life.

A Remover of Obstacles by MistakenMagic — 371.7k words**

Summary: Dis often chided her older brother for being a misanthropist. She did it so often it had become a term of endearment. It was true that Thorin struggled with people; he struggled to form and maintain relationships. Dr. Grey had diagnosed him with this and Thorin hadn’t the heart to tell him this wasn’t a symptom of his PTSD, it was a symptom of his personality. He exercised a sense of apathy with almost everyone he met… But Bilbo was different. Thorin actually found himself wanting to know more about him.

** This is honestly a favorite of mine. I can't begin to describe how amazing this fic is. If you have the time, go for it! I promise it will change you for good.

This is all I have for now, but please know that I'm currently reading new ones and I'll be adding them onto this list very soon!

Have a nice read! (And hopefully, with a nice cup of tea).
