Pics of My Simself and Her Fictional Husband / Short Hiatus

This will be my last update for awhile, as I'm leaving for a road trip to California on Saturday! I'm very excited, but I'm sorry to have to leave you guys. I'll be gone for a week or two, and I'm sorry but there will be a great delay on the next chapter of Fruit Parfait. I was hoping to get it out this week, but as it turned out I had appointments one after the other that my mom forgot to mention to me. Sorry about that, everyone. Anywho, please enjoy this little photoshoot with my simself and my fictional perfect husband. :P




I think they make a good couple. :3 Heehee...



I named my simself Sarah Morria, since my parents came very close to naming me Sarah but then eventually decided to name me Erin since it's less common. I didn't use my real name, since I would get all superstitious if a meteor hit my simself or something. :P Morria is my go-to last name for simselves, and I've used it on the other two I created. Sadly, though, I don't have pics of either of them for comparison. This one is most definitely the closest to what I look like in real life, though, and I promised myself to not glorify my face since I wanted it to look realistic. Then I decided to go mega-realistic and recreate clothes in my wardrobe for my simself... Haha. Anyways, her traits are Virtuoso, Artistic, Hopeless Romantic, Ambitious, and Perfectionist, her LTW is Professional Author, her favorites are Pop, Stir-Fry, and Purple (although I really wish they would make a general Rock category for music, since I listen to much more of that kind of music), and she's a Gemini.



Every night, I dream about this fictional guy with wavy blond hair and blue-green eyes. He pops up in every single dream. (Last night I had a dream that I was on a plane that crash-landed in Antarctica. Guess who was on the plane with me?) So, I decided to create him as a sim, since apparently he's the guy of my dreams. I named him Justin, since I love Justin James Hughes (a Youtuber). Ha, you thought I was going to say Justin Bieber, weren't you? :P No. Just...no. Then I decided to give him the last name of Hemsworth and make him an imaginary brother of Liam and Chris Hemsworth (even though he looks nothing like either of his "brothers", and I never tried to make him look like them). The story is he ran away to Hidden Springs, where no one knew who he was, since he didn't want to go into acting like his siblings. His traits are Brave, Good Sense of Humor, Adventurous, Disciplined, and Charismatic, his LTW is Martial Arts Master, his favorites are Pop, Key Lime Pie, and Red, and he's an Aquarius.

So I will undoubtedly be posting updates on these two simmies, from their days of being "roommates" to their definite marriage and children. Those will come much later, though, because I need to put out a new chapter of Fruit Parfait after I get back from vacation, and Fabio needs to get a move on with his baby-making. For now, though, I have to say goodbye. I'll be back soon, but until then, enjoy your summer!

Carissa Beauregarde - Photoshoot & Download!

So I just recently downloaded traelia's toddler pose pack and I've been meaning to try it out, and I decided that I would create a toddler for my next creation! I created her as a YA and then aged her down, but her nose exploded so I had to narrow it. Now it looks a bit different than the noses I normally create, but I kind of like it all slim like this. There's a photo of Carissa aged up at the end, if you want to see what I mean about the narrow nose. Okay, so I guess it's not that narrow, but it's narrower.

Anyhoo, meet the adorable little Carissa Beauregarde! Doesn't this face just scream, "Love me please!"








Name: Carissa Beauregard
Traits: Artistic, Good
Favorites: Aqua, PB&J, Songwriter
Sign: Virgo
Bio: Carissa comes from a rich family and is a very privileged young girl, but can she become someone more than just the Beauregardes' daughter?
Download/Rec: here!

The only CC not included is the non-default skin, which is A2.0 from LemonLeaf.


I created her with Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in mind. I always create sims with the backstory of coming from a poor family, so I wanted to create a girl from a really rich family this time around. Carissa's story is she is the child of two very famous adults with nothing to her own name but being labeled as their daughter. She has the artistic trait, so if I (or you) ever decide to play her, then perhaps she can become a renowned artist and set herself apart from her parents.


Aaaannnddd I just realized I forgot to take pictures of her in her formalwear and sleepwear. I've already deleted the save I was using to take pictures so I'm not going to bother with those outfits... Her cuteness is what really matters, right? :)

Chapter 1.3 of Fruit Parfait is going to be a bit late. Getting it out on Sunday was completely unrealistic, since when I made that estimate I didn't take into account the fact that I was moving on Thursday (no Sims :( ) and I was cleaning the old house on Friday (again, no Sims :( ). That stuff took up the two days that I was planning on taking pics and stuff... Now I'm (mostly) settled in so I can do more simming! But now I must sleep, because it's after midnight here. (Why do I always write these things so late at night?) Haha. See you soon!

The Fruitacy Rules Are Up! / Veronica Rowe and Hikaru Miyata - Photoshoot & Download!

Well, that was done much sooner than I thought. The Fruitacy Challenge rules are now up, so head over to the new page and check them out! Since that's out of the way, I'm hoping to get the first chapter of my Fruitacy up sometime in the next week. Also, I've decided to go with Fruit Parfait as the title. It was a close call between Fruit Parfait, Fruit Salad, and Fruit Cake, but I finally settled on Fruit Parfait because I feel that the name is more expressive. Parfait also means "perfect" in French, so maybe having that in the name will be a good luck charm and this Fruitacy will go far!

I finally finished the photoshoot with my newest couple! Their names are Veronica Rowe (my first attempt at a hipster - how did I do? lol) and Hikaru Miyata (my first attempt at an Asian sim, who I think I did pretty well on). Here they are!





^ That pose is just too cute. I think I'll have to do that one for all my couples. <3

You can download Veronica here.
You can download Hikaru here.
You can download them as a household here.

Please download and recommend them! :) So... How did I do on my first Asian sim and hipster sim? lol

I hope everyone's summer is going great so far! Mine definitely is... Lots of Sims, swimming, hanging out, and mostly importantly - ICE CREAM!!!! (I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream... :P ) Ahhh, good times...

This is my last summer before high school hits me. Right now I'm enjoying the freedom, but I know I'm going to start freaking out when fall approaches. I'm doing IB next year - and for those of you who don't know, it's the highest and hardest program offered. I have a friend with a brother in high school, and although he's incredibly smart he opted out of IB and then his mega-nerdy buddies started failing. One of my friends who's a year older than me said that she got several hours of homework the first week of school... o_o Maybe I'm just scaring myself over nothing. I'll probably do just fine. Take the bull by the horns, eh?

Well, I'm going to go visit my Kindle because it's been sitting on my bedside table for far too long. Insurgent and The Maze Runner Trilogy, here I come...

So About that Legacy... / Sunny and Drew - Couple Photoshoot and Download! / Breezy Bungalow - Pics and Download!

Well, the idea for the legacy died. Not that there ever really was an "idea", just a smidgit of one. The idea went as follows:

Sunny is a girl who has never said a word in her life. She's shy and feels invisible, and she left home the day she turned 18 so she could fade into the background of the world. Then, Drew comes along and he sees her as a beautiful girl with a voice louder than anyone else's, and it's love at first sight.

What happens after that, you ask? I don't know. That is the problem; that is why the idea died. Somehow I would have to get from Point A (Sunny and Drew meet) to Point B (Sunny finally speaks and tells Drew she loves him) without a roadmap, which all my fellow writers out there know never works.

There will be a story eventually, I can promise you that. I'll have to wait for some inspiration - maybe I'll take longer showers, since all my idea come to me in the bathroom. (I don't know why!) For now, I'll just keep doing what I do best and make some sims! Sunny and Drew are now available for download, as well as the meh-ish house I created for Sunny. Photo time!

First, some couple photos of Sunny and Drew! Aren't they just adorable? <3






Ohhh, they're just so cute together... I played them for a couple days and did a quickie romance plot just because they're such an adorable couple. ;) Their song for the Musicacy half was "Let Love In" by The Goo Goo Dolls, if anyone's curious, and the emotion was shyness (in case you hadn't figured that out already).

Sunny can be downloaded here.
Drew can be downloaded here.
They can be downloaded together here.

And now for some pics of my first house upload!














The house can be downloaded here.

I'm pretty happy with the way the house turned out. I'm not a pro builder or anything, so for me this is pretty good! :P Plus, it's just a starter, so I didn't want to be anything too fancy about it. I do wish I'd made it more colorful, though. Maybe it's so grey because I've been brought up in very colorless houses... For my next building project, I'll step out of my comfort zone and try to make everything super colorful! :D

Enough about Sims! I want to say a few things about the recent happenings in my life... There's been a lot of excitement recently. First of all, my birthday's coming up this Saturday, and I'm looking forward to going to see the Avengers with a few close friends! Secondly, SUMMER! I have only 3 more days of school left until freedom! Five more exams, three end-of-the-year parties, and then summer bliss. :) And the last thing that has been lingering in the back of my mind every second of every day... Last Friday, we had our formal, and wow was that night ever amazing! /beginloverant For ten months, I've had a crush on my best guy friend, and on Friday he surprised me by asking me to slow dance! The best part? My favorite song, Drops of Jupiter, was what we danced to. <3 The romantic details of that moment are to be kept between me and my crush, so I'll leave it at it was amazing and life changing. The rest of the night was a jumble of sugar highs, photo booth madness, conga lines, and running around pointlessly. Ahhh, good times... :) That night made my life.

So if I start creating a lot of couples... You know why. ;)

That's all for today! God, this post took me a couple days to write... One to take photos and upload the stuff, the other to write out all this stuff. :P Totally worth it, though. I got some good stuff on here. Keep checking back guys, and please follow!

Emma MacNary - Photoshoot & Download

I've created a new sim for you guys, and her name is Emma MacNary! Emma's a very preppy girl, and I intentionally made her very girly because I wanted her to be the kind of girl who no one expects to be smart, yet turns out to be a total nerd. (Kind of like me, heheh!) Her everyday outfit and formalwear were inspired by the Hollister patterns that they use over and over. I don't have any Hollister-esque dresses in my game so I couldn't achieve the full Hollister effect, but I think I came pretty close, especially with the formal dress. :)








You can download Emma from the Exchange here.

Name: Emma MacNary
Gender: Female
Age: YA
Fitness: Trim
Weight: Thin
Subtype: Human
Traits: Workaholic, Bookworm, Party Animal, Social Butterfly, Genius

I think I'll continue with this sim-making stuff, since Arynn got a ton of positive feedback over on the forums! Glad to know you guys are liking my creations. :) I hope you like Emma just as much!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! And to the children... You better treat 'em like goddesses today. ;)

-Siminoid

P.S. The house is coming along really well! I'll probably get started on writing the prologue tomorrow or Monday, but I won't get around to taking pictures until Tuesday at the absolute earliest. I'm hoping to have the prologue up by Saturday, but I make no promises. ;) Expect a preview soon!

RIP Charlie / Meet Sunny Caillat, Founder of My Legacy!

Hey everyone! I meant to get this update up yesterday, but... I'm sorry to say that one of the kittens my family has been fostering passed away. :( We picked up five abandoned kittens from the shelter a couple weeks ago and have been bottle feeding them and taking care of them at our house. There's Cleopatra (the only black one), Jack (orange), Cora (renamed Corey, also orange), Minnie (renamed Mickey, also orange), and little Charlie (the runt, orange). Charlie was never really doing so well, and he just didn't make it through Saturday night. I was pretty crushed, since Charlie was always my favorite. It's understandable that I didn't want to post on my blog while I was going through that; I kinda just wanted to listen to sad music and cry on the phone with my best friend, Brian. RIP, Charlie, the little kitten with a big heart. <3

After a full day of moping, I'm feeling better and ready to do some simming! I just finished creating Sunny Caillat, the founder of my upcoming story! And yes, I totally stole her last name from Colby Caillat. I thought it sounded pretty, so... Sunny Caillat, everyone!





She's currently not available for download, but will be at the end of Generation 1.

Since she will be the star of my story, you'll need to know a bit about her! Here's a short bio that will fill you in on what you need to know:

Sunny sees, but is not seen. All her life she has captured the beauty of the world on her camera, wordless records of the past that convey meanings to her that no one else understands. Sunny's parents never understood why Sunny never spoke, and they never knew she was processing messages from the universe greater than they could ever imagine. Sunny has grown up and moved away into a little house alone, where she sits on the porch every day and waits for someone to see her for who she truly is. Many take notice of her beauty and sweet smile, but none can give Sunny what she truly desires... None can see beauty in silence.


And, just because I want to feed you some eye candy... Drew Adams! I'm not giving you any information on this guy, just a very attractive photo of him and the promise of a great story!

My story will be an Emotionacy/Musicacy, with the emotion for the first generation being shyness. I haven't decided on a song for this generation yet, but I'm leaning very strongly towards one in particular. Keep in mind that while I will be following most of the challenge rules, I will not be following all of them, and I will not always be using the same emotions as listed in the Emotionacy rules. I will be keeping track of points and such, so I'll have a little update on the score at the end of each chapter. I'm not making any promises about how soon the prologue will be out or how far apart new chapters will be, since I rarely stick to the schedules I make for myself, so I'll just say that the updates will come out at reasonable intervals.

For those of you reading my blog, keep checking back! I'll be updating every few days! Bye for now...
