OH SHIT I've tried this before but NOT pasting while they were actually in the shower and I feel so dumb now fhdjsldjflsd. THANK YOU!!! RUNNING TO OPEN MY GAME so I can finally fix Ulrike's crazy shower hair

Ya know how sometimes when you change a Sim's hair they still have the previous hairstyle when they shower? I FINALLY know how to fix it 😭🄳🄳🄳

You need MC Command Center Mod. Put the Sim in the outfit with the hair you want them to have in the shower, then open the Sim's MCCC menu. Click on MC Dresser. Click Copy/Paste. Click Copy Hair.

Once the sim is in the shower open their MCCC menu again. Click MC Dresser. Click Paste Hair (logic tells me you have to click copy/paste then paste hair but I can't remember if I had to)

Thank you Deaderpool for this masterpiece of a mod 😭🄳

Hey! ✨ Sooo I've Decided To Start A New Project, And I'll Share My Progress, Builds, And Households

Hey! ✨ Sooo I've decided to start a new project, and I'll share my progress, builds, and households here and on Patreon as I always do.

🟣 It's simple: I'm doing a makeover of Ravenwood, but not just to add to my save file in the future: it will also be a standalone save file just with this world if you want to play the challenge I created: a murder mystery based on/inspired by the game Clue/Cluedo.

🟣 I've created characters, and I'm building the different lots and writing a whole story. Once the final file is done, I'll share it: it will also include the entire story and other special clues so you can play through it.

To create a more immersive experience, a little bit of CC will be needed, as well as some mods. Everything will be listed of course. Most of the CC I'm using was made by the amazing @surely-sims who created gorgeous Clue items and content. Thank you for your kindness and the wonderful resources you agreed to let me use freely. It helped a lot in setting up everything. I also want to thank @aroundthesims for letting me put their CC in my download files!

This post will be updated to keep track of my progress. Everything you need is under the cut. ā¬‡ļø

šŸ” RAVENWOOD CHRONICLES: RESOURCES & PROGRESSšŸ”Ž

This is a storytelling challenge of sorts. You'll play as a detective and must meet certain Sims to get more clues about the murder. There will be additional clues in the file under their name in the save file and clues in the houses, builds, descriptions and my videos too!

You'll be free to make the story move any way you want to. Some canon events and characters will be set to give you a baseline to resolve the murder, but the rest will be up to you and your imagination!

I'm also going to do some type of chronicles for those of you who enjoy lore and storytelling. I used to write for a living, and I'm so happy I found inspiration in this, which made me start writing again. It will also be something to read while you wait for the special save file.

Sweet Beginnings Tag

This tag is all about looking at your past.Ā All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one!Ā And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts!Ā #sweet beginnings tag

Sweet Beginnings Tag

I was tagged by @applesaucesims and @yellowsocialbunny.

Okay, so this isn't one of my first screenshots. Most of the old ones have either been deleted, or I no longer have the Sims in my save. But I did make this "Holidays Across the Decades" lookbook almost two years ago, and since then a few more pieces of CC have been created or updated.

1810s: Caroline's gloves and shoes by @peebsplays. (Keep a look out for an update to the dress).

1900s: Nellie's dress by myself.

2020s: Diwali outfit by myself. (This was originally not associated with any character, but I put it on the 2023 Girl of the Year, Kavi).

By including Nellie and Kavi, I was at a number that didn't divide evenly. To make the rows even I added Nicki in something similar to her NYE outfit.

Not going to tag anyone in particular, but please play along if you'd like!

Nostalgic glimpses into that run down childhood home, that never seemed to be so run down when you were a child. Back then, it was all you needed: Those fall afternoons watching the game on TV with dad or those summer days, when the old fan couldn't do anything against the heat in the living room. All those barbecue-nights and mum used to wear her 4th of July outfit every summer.

Coming back into your hometown now - years later - you can't help yourself but to realize how sordid everything seems to be. How come, that this place used to be your whole world? You used to call it home once, now it's just a sad place with sad people. Is this, what growing up is like?

@moonwoodhollow building this with you was so much fun!

I’m still working on adding some life to the neighborhood part of the North Hollow save. Some features have definitely changed since the last WIP. The trees, for one. (I’ve been super picky about trees). I also decided to embrace the small town vibe, and have since then combined my inspirations (a dash of northeast, a sprinkle of PNW, and anything that inspired my Pinterest board lol.) I’ve been practicing my building too. (I’m not a builder at heart. Oh and ignore the roofs. I hate roofing omg.)

Fennwhick Grove, Newcrest.

Fennwhick Grove, Newcrest.

Once a lakeside cottage, Fennwhick Grove has been lovingly reimagined by a local architect with a vision: to echo the timeless charm and sophistication of it's neighbors, Edgar's Creek and Port Bluff. Subtle colonial lines are a nod to Port Bluff's stately profile, while the gentle curves of the garden paths and upper balcony mirror Edgar's Creek's elegant naturalism.

Fennwhick Grove, Newcrest.

Fennwhick Grove is now a serene retreat for a local writer and her family.

Fennwhick Grove, Newcrest.

WIP inspired by @pixelplayground's amazing builds and style.

I've Been Working On This Legacy Challenge On And Off For Months Now And It's Finally Here! I Really

i've been working on this legacy challenge on and off for months now and it's finally here! i really made this because i wanted to play something like it. but i thought it'd be fun to share for anyone else who might be interested. if you do play, feel free to tag me. i would love to see your journeys 🄹 there are too many words for a tumblr post, so you'll have to check out the google doc. the general rules as well as a link to the "deck" and dice roller will be under the cut!

Click here for the Tarot Legacy Challenge

G E N E R A L R U L E S :

Start with a single founder in a new save.

Each generation follows the theme of a Major Arcana Tarot card, completing its unique goals and embracing the fate of the tarot card pulled.

Each heir must fulfill their generation’s goals before passing onto the next.

You may draw your Tarot card for the next generation when the first heir is born. You are welcome to choose any of your current heir’s children to be the next generation’s heir.

This challenge will include all packs so feel free to modify to fit your needs when necessary. This was created with Life & Death as the most recent expansion pack. As new packs release, you are more than welcome to modify the rules for the new content.

Play on any lifespan and with any mods or cheats you’d like– whatever makes the challenge more fun for you, have at it. Add any little twists that you’d like to spice up gameplay. If you want to use different traits/aspirations/careers than listed, go for it! Again, whatever you feel fits your playstyle best. Just try your best to stay aligned with the Tarot theme of that generation.

You can play as many or as few generations of this legacy challenge as you’d like. You don’t have to play all 22 generations. I would recommend a minimum of 5 just to make it a ā€œlegacyā€ – but follow your intuition šŸ˜ŒāœØšŸ”®

D E C K & D I C E R O L L E R :

occult lore: the century conflict

There's a lot of lore about the war between vampires/werewolves/spellcasters in the Werewolves GP. I needed to reference what happened, so I compiled it into one! I tried to keep things more or less chronological. These come mostly from in-game books, artifacts with a little Greg.

Lunar epiphany: "They tell the tale of Spellcasters long ago who explored the limits of their power. They experimented by creating duplicates of themselves, but quickly became frustrated that these duplicates required sustenance to survive. In an effort to be efficient, they fed them potions... they created monsters.ā€

Lunar epiphany: "It's a tale of betrayal, of duplication spells gone wrong. After an overloaded spell turned a mutated group of Spellcaster mimics permanent, they turned on their creators and sank their fangs into them. They feasted on these Spellcasters and their magical plasma, which enhanced their strength, despite never sating their thirst.ā€

Book: "Glowing, magical moon glyphs along the edge of this page detail a hundred-year conflict called "Operation Eternal Flame." Beset by their own thirst and an innate distrust, the first Vampires hunted Spellcasters, raiding their small communities to drink their magical plasma. This was how Vampires first developed a small degree of magic within themselves. It eventually led to them being capable of turning Sims into what they themselves now were.

"Near the painting of a wolf's tail, this shard is engraved with some vague text describing what appears to be steps of an adapted ritual, likely dating back to ancient Myshupotatmian tradition. The language, however, is consistent with the era of the Mooncasters, suggesting the pot was used to transport the glowing waters of Lake Lunvik to perform certain power-harnessing ceremonies atop the Howling Point cliff in Moonwood Mill. The waters of the lake must have been crucial to their efforts of attuning to the moon...ā€

"In your readings, you learned that many moons ago, the land we now know as Moonwood Mill was actually the home of a small ancient Myshupotamian city. Interestingly enough, Myshupotamians believed that the greatest minds of their society were reborn as wolves that stored their wisdom in the moon via howl. As the cycle progressed towards a full moon, the growing light represented more and more stored wisdom. On full moon nights, Myshupotamians would sport wolf-like masks and ceremonially draw upon the moon's stored wisdom. As the cycle then progressed to a new moon, the light leaving the moon each night represented the stored wisdom slowly dispersing to the Myshupotamian people. As the first modern werewolves, Moonwood Mill's Mooncasters likely gleaned much of their information on harnessing the moon's power from studying the Myshupotamians...ā€

ā€œAll along this page are magical moon glyphs. With {M0.his}{F0.her} Lunar Epiphany, {0.SimFirstName} is able to read about a group of Spellcasters who communed with their dog familiars to learn about the untapped magical potential found in moonlight. They declared themselves Mooncasters and experimented with unstable transformation magic from the Untamed School.ā€

Greg: "I was a spellcaster hundreds of years ago, a master of the Untamed school. I stood atop that mountain, back when this area was simply called Moonwood, and with a group of other powerful spellcasters, we channeled the most powerful Moon Infusion spell that has ever been cast. The results were explosive... but effective. The Moonlight infused both us and the land around us. Why do you think the Moonpetal only grows atop that mountain? Where do you think the Luna Fish comes from? We made them. I made them.ā€

I’m not sure Greg was technically a sage because I’m not sure sages as a concept existed until the Realm was destroyed - there was no need to balance the Realm before that. I think they probably had a different leadership structure at the time. It's also possible he means he was master-ranked, not a virtuoso, but given everything that doesn't strike me as realistic. He also could've just meant that he was really good with untamed magic

Wolfgang: "Did you know that the very first Werewolves were Spellcasters? It's true. There were many ways Spellcasters attempted to fight back against the Vampires, and Werewolves were the most successful attempt. It's fascinating stuff if you can find ways to read up on it!ā€

Moonwood Wand: "Long ago, a group of spellcasters caused an overload while practicing a powerful, moon-infused, untamed spell. The resulting explosion imbued the surrounding area with lunar energy. Because of this, the wood from trees surrounding Lake Lunvik are eagerly sought after by the spellcasting community. This wand was one of the first ever crafted. ā€œ

Book: "An extensive tunnel network runs below Moonwood Mill. There are various entrance points around town, though even the locals find it difficult to navigate. Many speculate these tunnels were originally created during a regional time of strife, though records of such an event are lost to time. Perhaps the dark tunnels themselves might contain clues?ā€

Greg: "During the Century Conflict, we captured Vlad and took him down into the tunnels. We figured we'd use him as leverage, end the conflict. But even in his youth, he was already too powerful. We couldn't hold him and he escaped.ā€œ

"At the end of one of the tunnels is an old metal door that's been peeled open. The solid metal bends outward like a banana peel, as if something strong and determined forced its way out and ran off into the tunnel {0.SimFirstName} just came from. Past the broken door is a single room, coated in metal paneling. Judging by the gouges lining the walls, someone - or something - really didn't want to be in here...ā€

Lily: "After I arrived in Moonwood Mill, Kristopher told me that Forgotten Hollow was once under Werewolf control — back before Vlad moved in. He arrived with a mob and manipulated them into driving the Werewolves out. They, of course, didn't know he was a Vampire. They even put up a statue in his honor! Then, they all disappeared, one by one…"

"...Another often forgotten aspect of Myshupotamian culture was taming Cowplants as stationary sentinels of defense, and sometimes cross-breeding them to be mobile attack units (though it was quite difficult to safely reproduce mobile cowplants, for obvious reasons...) In modern times, it turns out the Moooncasters were not the only group seeking unorthodox answers to the vampire problem during Operation Eternal Flame. The Moocasters (who 100% came up with their name first, total coincidence) attempted to adapt Myshupotamian cowplant taming practices to their needs. It was an initial success, and they had a prosperous alliance with the Mooncasters. Needless to say, it didn't last long after one of the "tamed" cowplants feasted upon Yina Kia, an original Mooncaster... and Greggorius and Avelina Lunvik's dearest friend.ā€

"Based on its age, this skull belonged to one of the tamed cowplants used by the Moocasters, a Spellcaster group that served as a counterpart to the Mooncasters (werewolves). Both groups formed in response to the vampires' Operation Eternal Flame - a covert operation attempting to turn all remaining spellcasters into vampires. They simply differed in their methods. Rather than harnessing the power of the moon to become Werewolves, the Moocasters instead tamed cowplants to use as (somewhat) loyal companions in battle. There appears to be a carving leading towards the jawbone, though the writing is hard to deciper. It currently reads "I will..."ā€

The rest of the line is ā€œavenge youā€

Book: ā€œIt seems that towards the end of Operation Eternal Flame, the near-extinct Spellcasters grew desperate and struggled with a variety of magic types to try and turn the tide of their conflict with the Vampires. Some sought a cure for Vampirism, though the spell proved too powerful and caused a tear in the very fabric of the Magic Realm itself.ā€

Greg’s diary: "After the Vampire uprising, every one of us Spellcasters grew increasingly desperate. One group tried to create a spell that could simultaneously ā€œcureā€ every Vampire in existence. A single spell to end the conflict. Of course, they were blinded by hubris and hurried by desperation. The spell was too powerful for the group to handle. It caused a massive fracture in the fabric of the Realm itself.ā€

"Magical moon symbols glow around the edge of the page from {0.SimFirstName}'s Lunar Epiphany, offering an explanation on Operation High Fang. After the end of Operation Eternal Flame, a group of Vampires came out of hiding to start the initiative. Through a successful propaganda campaign, they branded Vampires as refined and classy, boasting of what they offer through their historical knowledge and charismatic ways. At the same time, they smeared Werewolves as dirty and dangerous monsters, lacking in control. The results were catastrophic for the new Werewolf communities who were still maturing as an occult.ā€

"A Lunar Epiphany comes over {0.SimFirstName} as {M0.he}{F0.she} stares at the moon scribbles at the bottom of the page. These books were written in an attempt to undo the damage caused by Operation High Fang, a Vampire-led propaganda initiative.ā€

Wolfgang: "After losing the war, the Vampires launched "Operation High Fang" with the intent of using propaganda to turn general sentiment against Werewolves. My books do the opposite. They encourage readers to view Werewolves in a new, more favorable light - one that I feel is more authentic to who we are as an occult.ā€

Here's what I don't understand - how did vampires manage to lose the war after spellcasters destroyed their own Realm? I think the best explanation here is that werewolves eventually finished the job, based on what Wolfgang said about werewolves being the most successful attempt to fight back. The fact that vampires lashed out against specifically werewolves after losing also supports that idea.

also lmao the entire moral of this story is that untamed spellcasters cannot be trusted not to literally tear their own realm apart. i've got my eye on u morgyn

Transcript below the cut:

Atlas: Is he gone? Asher: Yes. Atlas: What was he doing here? Did you invite him? Asher: I told him I’d help him with training Milo, and we thought it’d be better to do it while Iris and Spencer aren’t here so there’d be less distractions. Atlas: You looked pretty distracted to me.

Asher: [exasperated sigh] Yes, we got to talking after, I’m sorry. But, Atlas, I can’ t keep doing this. Being stuck between you and my sister, it fucking sucks, and I can’t do it anymore. Atlas: What are you talking about? I don’t care what you do with your sister.

Asher: I mean, Ezra is her boyfriend, so she wants me to be friendly and get to know him. But you hate him and want me stay away from him. I can’t fucking win. Atlas: Well, I don’t know what to tell you, Ash. You can’t always make everyone happy. Sometimes you have to make a choice and deal with the fact that someone will be pissed off. And you’ve clearly already made your choice, so I don’t know what you want from me.

Asher: You know what I want? I want you to stop hiding away and stewing. I want you to talk to him, to make an effort. Atlas: Why should I? And why is it up to me? If anyone should be making an effort, it’s him! Asher: He wants to! But you’ve made it very clear that he’s not welcome. He can’t properly apologize and make amends unless you make space for him to be able to talk to you.

Atlas: I tried that already, remember? He wasn’t exactly apologetic. Asher: Look, I know things didn’t go well the first time, and normally I wouldn’t push you to try again. I’d say, ā€œfuck him and what he did, you don’t owe him anything.ā€ But under the circumstances, I’m afraid you don’t have that luxury. Whether you like it or not, he’s family now.

Atlas: Family?! Are you kidding me? Asher: No, I’m not. Iris is pregnant. Atlas: [scoffs] Unbelievable. He did this on purpose. Asher: Oh my god, do you hear yourself?

Atlas: Don’t you see what’s happening? He’s sinking his claws in and now we’re fighting and you’re defending him and it’s happening all over again. Don’t you see? This is what he does!

Asher: Did it ever occur to you that not everything he does is about you? That was years ago! You’re not teenagers anymore! Atlas: I know that!

Asher: Then grow up and stop acting like one!

[Opens the door, then slams it closed] Asher: [under his breath] Goddammit. Atlas: … Asher: …

Atlas: [scoffs] Asher: What? Atlas: I’ve never met anyone more committed to keeping a promise than you. Asher: Yeah well, what’s the point of a promise if you only keep it when it’s easy? Atlas: You can go. If you really want to. Asher: [shakes his head] Nah. The moment has passed now, hasn’t it?

Atlas: … Asher: …

Asher: I don’t want to fight anymore. I hate fighting. Atlas: I don’t want to fight either. Asher: Can I come sit with you? Atlas: [nods]

Asher: Let’s talk, okay? Help me understand.

Atlas: I don’t know if you can. You don’t know what it was like. I know you think everyone deserves a second chance, and you want everyone to get along, but I can’t do it. All I see when I look at him is the way everyone looked at me then, the way Henry looked at me, like I was monster, just for loving him. And seeing Ezra here now, it feels so invasive. [sighs] Just when everything in my life was falling into place. For the first time I’m excited for the future. And it’s like the Universe, or whatever, realized they’d forgotten about me, they suddenly remembered I’m not meant to have any of this, so now they’re correcting their mistake by sending him to take it all away again.

Atlas: I know that sounds stupid, but I don’t know how else to explain it. Asher: It’s not stupid. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have tried to push you. You’re right, I got caught up in wanting everyone to get along, to get rid of all this tension, and I diminished your feelings in the process. It was really shitty, and I’m sorry. Atlas: … Asher: I’m here, okay? I’m in your corner, and I’m not going anywhere, I promise. Atlas: [nods] Okay.

Asher: How can I support you? Atlas: I don’t know. I just wish we could fast forward time to the day when we can finally move out of this house, when we can live our life, and they can live theirs, and I don’t have to have him in my space anymore. Asher: We just need to get through, what, like six more months? Atlas: Something like that.

Asher: Well, look, there’s no reason Ezra needs to come over here. Iris can go to his house. If they want to spend time with Spencer, then they can take her to the park or the beach or something. I’ll talk to Iris and ask her not to bring him around anymore. She can do that for six months. Atlas: She’ll never agree to that. If only to spite me. Asher: She might surprise you. She’s not always good at showing it, but she does care about you.

Asher: There is a good chance, though, that he’ll be invited for the holidays. For Harvestfest and Winterfest. Especially considering he has no other family. You know how my parents are. Atlas: So, what do we do? Asher: Winterfest with Dawn and Phoenix was fun last year. Maybe we spend the holidays with them instead? Atlas: You’d be willing to do that? Asher: Absolutely.

Atlas: Thank you… and thank you for staying. Asher: Of course. I always will. I promise.
