Vamp Life - poses for when your sim needs to vamp

FINALLY! I got together something in time for Simblreen! I'm not able to do the porch light thing, so I am posting the treat publicly.

This is a mega pose pack containing 120 vampire-inspired poses. It started out as just a small pack of a few "inverted" poses (thanks for the inspiration @murfeelee!) and I just went crazy from there. There is a little bit of everything in there.

There are far too many pictures to include here, so I encourage you to visit my flikr album to see the larger pictures. I'll also include a download link for just the photos.

Credits and download links below the cut.

POSE NAMES

The list is too long to pose here, so I included it in the download file.

NOTES

Some of the poses are the same, just in different orientations (lying, floating, inverted, or standing).

Some poses have slightly different variations to accommodate the different male and female physique.

Many of the vignettes are made to "snap" together. Where it made sense to do, I also included "stand alone" versions. They will have the subscript "_sa".

All of the poses intended to be ceiling height (such as the inverted ones and ceiling crawlers) as well as all of the coffin and bed poses have been lowered to make them more flexible. Use OMSP to raise them to desired height.

Alas... The scaling didn't stick even after inserting the keyframe for location, rotation and scale. Location/rotation took but the scale reverted. It would have been hilarious if it worked.... Might experiment more later, but this particular 'nightmare fuel' is on hold for now...

Oh, yeah! It's going to be that kind of day (especially posting it in the wrong place... doh!) I do wonder....

Okay, so I have the full set of "A mix of good and bad" household updates. And if you followed me for more than a nanosecond, you know I like to do an updated version of "the original" sim, but then do a gender-flipped version. And usually I can come up with alternate but still appropriate name for the new version.. but this one eludes me. It's Lilly-Bo Chique. I just don't know what to call him! Beau became Belle, because they are similar sounding, but also are reasonably related meaning-wise. And the others are Marina -> Marino; and Bianca-> Blanchard. But what to do with Lilly-Bo?!?

I was inspired by images of "Japanese street-style fashion" but I'm not going to claim that they are in any way an accurate reflection of the aesthetic.

Anyway.. if nothing else they are cuter than the original hopefully. That's the main thing. And if someone can help me out with an appropriate name, I'd appreciate it.

Belle and Beau Merrick

At some point, I started making over the "Mixture of Good and Bad" Household" and never finished. So I pulled them out of the crypt for reasons (wink wink). As I like to do, I gender-flipped Beau and made Belle. I don't have the original Beau handy for comparison, but you can see him on the wiki.

Thank you so much for sharing your poses! They’re always so natural and expressive.

Hey Nony! Thank you soooo much for you kind note! Hopefully I will have some new stuff out soon.

Me... realizing that the 4 or 5 poses I was doing somehow became 40 something and I'm going to have to photograph all of them...

(don't get too excited I haven't tested them and there may be some duds that I'll cull...)

[studiok2sims]

Oops...

Part of me wants to publish it.... because Spooky season... lol

[studiok2sims]

Ignoring the flood of uncanny valley picspam because people like shiny new things and that's cool.

But what is up with the recent spate of people reblogging their own stuff from like 2023? I mean okay sure if you updated it or fixed something... but no. Just curious more than anything.

WCIF - MissFortuneSims

Anyone know of any archives of MissFortuneSims stuff? Particularly this dress? Their tumblr / original post for this is gone.

No luck on the wayback machine either. Found the post, but the download is a dead adfly link.

Random AF and nobody asked for my opinion but here it is anyway...

I am not a fan of post containing gif clips of tv/movies - where it is multiple copies of nearly the same clip at just slightly different timing. I don't get it.

And to clarify - I get posting fan clips of whatever. It's the multiple copies of basically the same clip in the same post, sometimes even right next to each other.

ps - and yes, I'm still around lurking. I'll be back making shiny new stuff as soon as I convince myself it is okay to stop organizing the horder-level pile of cc for the umpteenth time...

Dang it... tumblr is eating my replies to posts... But clearly I can still post... so not banned... ??

It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Well, huh. What do you know about that. Been a minute, hasn't it? I should think about doing something...

Nice hoodie! And thanks for the pose credits!

I may have been somewhat inspired by a WIP mod by @monocodoll for this release (well, at least in name). Go check it out!

In the spirit of giving this game more basics, I decided to make a Baja Jacket, colloquially known as a "drug rug". There's one for both frames, and it should have the typical morphs.

INFORMATION:

This download has five recolorable presets, which you can look at under the cut. Each pattern is fully recolorable, and if you want to get really fancy with it I'm sure you could add patterns inside the patterns. It is recolorable by pattern rather than by region. The upside to doing it this way, in my opinion, is that it adds dimension to the item where it would otherwise get washed out. I'm working on a re-make of my flannel with this exact method in mind in the future btw :)

Also one warning: while the size morphs work fine, the strings might get a bit swallowed up if you have the breast slider to the maximum. Set to the minimum it looks fine.

My middle brother convincing my eldest brother and I to go in 3-ways on a game to give to my mom as a present.  For reason no one can fathom, he chose The Sims 1  (there were other games she would have liked better than this...).  Also unbeknownst to my eldest brother and I, middle brother was cashing in on a BOGO sale... He pocketed the free game for himself.

My mom, on receiving the game, nodding and smiling and thanking my brothers and giving me a side eye communication of ‘WTH?’ as mothers do.  

They meant well... (I mean except for the blatant self interest of my middle brother) but still... clueless.

She later gave me the game.  I don’t know that anyone ever told my brothers...  And yeah...someone else mentioned 7DeadlySims... download frenzy ensued...

(I should mention, middle brother took our money and bought the games w/out mentioning what he bought. We didn't know until we gave the gift.)

The earliest memory of the sims you have. On your mark, get set...go!

It’s really sad when creators delete their websites/tumblrs etc.  I’d like to send a shout out to all the archivists out there that take the time/effort to gather all the lost goods and make them available.
