Reblogging from my build blog so y’all can follow the actual story side of things. It starts slow… but trust, the dust doesn’t stay settled for long. 👀✨

taps the side of the blog yeah… still works. It’s been a while, but I’m back with something I’ve been quietly brewing behind the scenes.

A new StrangerVille story told through stills and simmer brainrot. Bo’s cautious, Gloria’s new in town, and something is definitely not right.

Scroll through the full episode below— This one’s all vibes, tension, and a simmer just trying to tell a good story again.

More soon. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

📸 Shadows in the Dust – Episode 1: Not Just the Oven

Nothing in StrangerVille ever happens by accident. And Gloria? Well, she moves like the rules don't apply to her. Maybe that's what I like about her, what's scarin' me. I told her Don't worry about the fire; it probably was just an accident but I lied.

Bo sat in silence, fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. Her thoughts were restless, they were moving faster than she could keep up. Gloria's last text echoed in her mind; light, casual, like they hadn't struck a match in her gut.  "They say it was the pizza oven, what do you think?" "Probably," she had answered while mentally chiding herself for lying. She didn't tell her that she was also suspicious about the timing of the fire, that bad things happened to those who asked too many questions, the wrong questions. No, instead, she parroted the official report, because it was easier.

She leaned back, the chair creaking beneath her as she stared up at nothing. How many times had she run this through in her head? Replayed what she could’ve said? What she should've said? Maybe if she’d stayed, they wouldn't have tied it… Maybe… She sighed.

Bo slumped in her chair, throwing her arms over her eyes, hoping, wishing it could block out more than just light. But her thoughts turned once again to Gloria. She couldn't explain this overwhelming need to keep her safe, she wasn't sure if she even still had a heart capable of loving. Not after last time.

There's a faint noise. Maybe the soft click of a lock? Footsteps? Bo's head snaps forward as she cranes her ear to listen. I'm not expecting anyone, she reasoned. She got to her feet quickly, even though she didn't hear the noise again. She shook her head wryly. "I'm probably just being paranoid." Before she could form the next thought, almost as if on cue, her phone buzzed…

Bo glances down. Unknown number. Again. She furrows her brows, part dread, part weary expectation. These calls have been happening a lot lately. Always late; never traceable. Still, she answers.

The voice on the other end was cocky, cold and coiled tight with threat. "Tell your little friend that she best mind the business that pays her…or else." His words sent a shiver down Bo's spine. A beat passed before he added with a cruel curl of amusement, "I'm being courteous here, you're welcome."

She jerked the phone from her ear. "Who is this?! Stop calling me!" But by the time she gets the words out, the line's already dead; just a blank screen staring back at her.

Bow lowered her phone and scoffed while shaking her head in disgust. Just another coward hiding behind a voice and a screen.

The tension had faded, but it left something behind: a heaviness that settled into the quiet. Bo sank into her couch, thumb hovering over the phone. She reread Gloria's last message. A teasing acceptance about finally needing a new oven; it should make her smile, but she lingers. Because it wasn't the message, but the memory beneath it; all the things still left unsaid.

Her fingers hovered, hesitation thick in the air, and then with purpose they began to move. "Glo… I have to tell you something. There's a lot I haven't said…" She stared at her words, thumbs twitching. No, it's too much. too soon. Backspace. She tried again. This time something…safer. "Yeah." Simple. She hits send. After she carefully set her phone down, almost as if she was afraid it would break under the weight of her secrets.

Well, that's it then, she thought, arms crossed in quiet contemplation. She may get upset later, but I have to believe I made the right call. If she thinks it's just a faulty oven, maybe she won't dig; maybe it'll be enough to keep her safe…. For now, anyway. 

Because I know something's coming, and I don't think any of us are ready for it.

If you’d rather watch the story unfold with voice acting and atmosphere, Episode 1 is also available as a narrated video: 🎥 Shadows in the Dust – Not Just the Oven Right here!

And for the curious—Bo’s home base (aka the house you just saw her stewing in) is a fully built, functional lot too. You can catch the lot tour here: 🏡 Bo’s House Build Tour →

🌵 Cactus Gulch Trailer Park | Sims 4 Lot + Lore Drop

Gloria wasn’t planning to stay. She rolled into Cactus Gulch with a vending machine, an inherited title, and no money to her name. But this dusty trailer park had other plans—and maybe, so did her grandmother.

Now she’s manning the office, making the place livable, and listening in on conversations no one knows she hears. Most days are quiet. Most days.

🛠️ Lot Info:

Residential

1 bed, 1 bath

No CC

Works great as a café-type small business

Decorative trailers are a part of the world and not functional.

Built for Strangerville

I'm Back... Sorta

Wow its been a few months, I never intended to be gone this long but life threw some curveballs. Still I'm not one to be down for long and y'all dont care about that anyway...

On to the good stuff!

New build sorta? lol, It's a revamp. Dipping my toes back in with a forum challenge. The objective was to redo an old lot utilizing things you didn't have when it was first built.

I chose my favorite older build.. "Cedar Cottage" and got to work

The glow-up is real on this one and it's definitely my favorite again!

The outside was completely overhauled; new windows, walls floor, and lush landscaping to really evoke that country feel.

I used free window placements, modular stairs, and platforms, and the inside has been furnished unlike the original.

THE DERIVITIVE

Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence but it was Birthday shenanigans time! Yaya Taurus Season! Can you believe another year has gone by? Me neither!

Anyways... I'm excited to share this cool project I've been working on—a miniature build inspired by a LEGO set I stumbled upon. I call it "The Derivative."

It features four unique units, a cozy café/bar on the ground floor, and even a mini playground.

The model is based on the "Friends TV show", specifically Central Perk and 2 of the iconic apartments so it has a similar layout. PLEASE NOTE it is not a 1-1 so don't @ me

I've playtested it, and now it's ready for you! Hope you enjoy playing with it as much as I did creating it!

It's play-tested and ready to drop and play!
