Anonymous said: Hi! Wcif the shirt you used on your Belle hair post? (Btw, that hair is GORGEOUS.)

I have the cc I use in my previews linked on Patreon. Makeup/skin and all that will be on my resource page once I get around to updating it for my 2 new models (who will be up for download soon hopefully). Also ty <3

Anonymous said: What make-up do you use for most of your posts?

The only eyeshadows I use are by @crypticsim or @catplnt. The makeup I use on Macie/Taylor are listed on my resource page. The other two models makeup will be added once I get them added on there but I know they both use similar stuff to Macie/Taylor.

@thatsimmergirl91 said: Just wanted to take a moment out and say how amazing you are ! I love all your stuff and your blog. Never forget how awesome you are 💗💗💗💗🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you so much. Like I know I am going to be typing a lot of thank yous in this post, but I truly mean them. Playing Sims/Making cc is something I did not think would be such a big thing in my life but god is it and I love doing it. Thank you again <3

Anonymous said: You're incredible and I love all your hairs! In fact, you're my favorite cc hair creator. My question is are you planning on making any hairs with the Island Living meshes anytime soon?

Thank you! I am glad you enjoy my hairs <3 I am planning some stuff with the island living meshes. Probably just a conversion to toddlers if I am able and I might do something simple with the adult meshes to release outside of my Patreon stuff. We shall see though! Ty again

@ayoshi said: When are you opening an Onlyfans?

idk babe when are you posting your birthmarks? ;)

Anonymous said: Heya! Love your cc! You're real talented

thank you! <3 It isn’t so much talent, more or less just a lot of practice and time. I appreciate the compliment though

Anonymous said: any tips to get high quality sims screenshots??

I have 2 methods I use. When I am taking CC previews I rotate my screen using Ctrl + Alt + the ◄ key. For my lookbooks/upcoming Sim downloads I use a method by foursims who deactivated?? This is the method/video <3

@verdeclaroangels said: What skin do you use??💕PS i love u

I use @luumia newest vanilla default, alongside his Smooth Butts overlay, and my own fruitpunch overlay. All are linked over on my resource page <3

@vhlori said: Austin queen of pop!

q king of edits! <3

Anonymous said: i love your creations and i appreciate the time you put into your cc, i wish i could support you 💕

Thank you!! Sometimes the time crunches can be stressful but I put them on myself so I survive haha. Don’t feel the need to support me please <3 I make sure everything is public eventually so that people dont feel like they are missing out on anything by deciding not to pledge. Thank you for wanting to though, I appreciate that a ton.

Anonymous said: Just a rant here. I'm annoyed that there are no rings in the glove category or some other category. The reason I want this is because I use eyelashes that are in the skin detail section and rings don't work and I don't want to use the accessory eyelashes because my sim wears glasses. It annoys me but that's all.

i... rant away luv i feel u

Anonymous said: What do you do besides sims? That is all you post about and I was curious if that is all you play?

I play Roblox with @ayoshi sometimes, cause that is about all my computer can handle lmao. I have a switch so I play some Nintendo titles on there like Zelda, Splatoon 2, and other stuff. I also have been plying Fortnite recently with @imvikai @greenllamas and @pinealexple. That is about all I play right now lmao. I play Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and Pokemon Go on my phone.

Anonymous said: Hi there ! Just wanted to say I've also been experiencing that problem with your 'downloads' page. I don't have a Tumblr account so I had to tell you this way. Perhaps it's a MacBook issue ? I'm not sure, but I'm using a MacBook Pro. Anyways, thank you for all the beautiful cc you provide us with, you're the best.

Yeah I got another ask about them using a Mac for it. That seems to be the problem. I am not a coder, nor do I know a single thing about coding. All I can suggest doing is going to http://aharris00britney.tumblr.com/tagged/s4cc and using that which sucks to page through I know :( I am sorry

Anonymous said: This is really random, but I love your Sims! I normally don't like Sims with Clay hair, but GIRL, you make them work. Just want to say to keep it up, and if I had money I would support you <3

Thank you lmao <3 stan clay hairs

Anonymous said: Literally im in this sims discord nd they were DRAGGING how you make the same sim in different skin colors and how you make such cookie cutter sims and honestly i felt bad

Meanwhile me in CAS:

Anonymous said: This may be a strange request but what does that one alien toddler you've used on multiple occasions to model hair look like when he's older?

He uuh... idk where they are in my library tbh I can’t find them cause I was going to age him up and show ya but.. yeah idk what happened RIP alien toddler

@amorimlulu said: Hi! I love your creations, they're incredible! I'm completely in love with two of your sims: the asian woman from the patreon 06-16 post and the woman from the ava hair post. Could you, pretty please, upload them on the gallery? I'm dying to play with them. Thank you ^^

I am planning to in the next month! I have the photos taken I just need to get the CC list together and plan it around Island Living posts, CC posts, all that jazzzzzz

Anonymous said: Hello Austin! I really like the way your sims look, so I was wondering if you can tell me where to get the skins and lashes, please? I am new to the Sims 4 and searching for some cute looks :)

Hey! I have this stuff listed on my resource page, and I have over 100 WCIF’s I have answered along with my lookbooks for some clothes. My cc finds blog is @aharris00finds if you want to look there :D

Anonymous said: can i just ask? how do you remove the shadows on hair with S4S? im a complete noob at s4s and i was wondering how you would do it?

You just need to click shadow, then make blank :) pic below

Anonymous said: Hi, just a quick message to say THANK YOU for all those beautiful creations. You are so talented and I want you to know that. Thank you so much for making my sims look way more beautiful !

thank you so much <3 I have said it before and idk if anyone will be able to convince me, but I am not talented lmao it just is experience :)

Anonymous said: hey, could u pls make a tutorial abt how u make ur mesh?? i love ur hair meshes so much

I have tried filming a tutorial before and I will just have to wait til I get a good mic lmao. My speed meshing videos are somewhat useful for learning but they are sped up and without instructions so take it with a grain of salt

Anonymous said: would you ever try to recreate lydia martins hair in 3.04? sorry, but you're the only teen wolf fan thats a simblr that i know and i desperately need that lovely hair in my game. thanks!

tbh I never finished Teen Wolf XD I stopped at the end of season 5 I think. Idk I just lost interest as I grew up :( Also I have no idea what hair that is sdfgfvb and google isnt telling me either. If you can send a link to a picture or DM me a picture I can see if I can make it <3

Anonymous said: Hi, could you please please upload this sim post/183989453251/e41 ! She's just too pretty

Anonymous said: please upload this sim from your post/183989453251/e41 for download? Thanks

Idk if I still have her saved but if I do I might upload her. I will check and see later tonight lmao

Anonymous said: Is there any way to put everything you make into a .zip file. I really like what you make and I wish there was a way to mass download it. It sounds dumb but really I enjoy your content

Tbh since I post hairs 3 times a month it would be hard for me to keep everything up to date. I might do something like all my CC from 2017 in one zip, and all my cc from 2018 in another? and then make one for 2019 at the end of the year. I’m not sure though.

Anonymous said: Wheres the hair in yo profile pic? And will you upload that sim? AND can you make more clothes ur amazing at it!!! (Also, asking 4 my bff <3 r u boy or girl?)

the hair in my current profile pic is Maddie Hair, the sim is already for download, and I will have some clothes coming next month :) I am a boy :P

Anonymous said: hello! is the model sim in your eve hair valentines special downloadable? I find her really pretty. I really enjoy all of your cc!! I love all of them soooo much.. :)

I will check if I saved her to my library, if so I will add it to the list of stuff I wanna try and do <3 also thank you

Anonymous said: Hey! Love your hairs! Can I request a Riley hair without the hairclip?

the riley hair doesn’t have a clip so I am going to assume you mean the Peyton hair since it was released in the same month. It wouldn’t really be possible to do Peyton without the clip since it has a part of the hair going up into the clip. Without it there would be a hole and if the hole was filled in it would still look weird since the hair would be going up into nothing. I’m sorry <3

@lacr1mation23 said: Kinda not a question. But, i'm gonna fangirl all over you. You ROCK!!! I LOVE your CCs. BEST. HAIRS. EVAR. Impressed like woah from Florida.

thank you so much ;n; this made me smile lmao I appreciate stuff like this a ton

Anonymous said: Hey I think there's something wrong w/ your Lydia hair.. could u fix it?

I’m not sure what the glitch is, so if you could send me a photo or an explanation of what it is then I could help.

Anonymous said: I'm sorry you're having a bad day! I want to let you know your CC is lovely and I hope you have a better day tomorrow! Lots of love and if you like chocolate then I'm sending you plenty of virtual chocolate to help you feel better!

lmao idk what ‘bad day’ I was happening when this was sent but thank you!! I had a rough semester but I am doing a lot better now I think :)

@simsloverlilian said: Hi lol I just think this is really funny, my friend asked me where do you get your cc? and I was like: "oh.. ahoob's WCIF place xDDDDDD" and we both died laughing.. at your place you can get amazing hairs, accs, shirts! (lol love your cc keep it up! ;))

thank you so much! I love that yall use my blog for finding cc :)

@raha-plays-the-sims said: Okay... I actually want to take a screenshot of my Sim with your new Riley hair on to my hair dresser and tell her to cut my hair that way XD I love it so much! Thank you for continuing to make amazing content!

lmao i have wanted to do this before with a male hair i found for my game. I never went through with it though XD thank you for the compliment <3

Anonymous said: Everyone!!! Stan LOONA for clear skin and good health...

stan red velvet and WJSN

Anonymous said: I just want to say that "EVERYTHING" about your blog/cc/sims is absolutely immaculate. Your CC is like renaissance to Sims 4 modding(I ain't even kidding).Thank you for sharing/uploading them here on tumblr. Would you be uploading any video on how you create your sims on youtube anytime soon? And what sliders do you usually use in creating sims if there are some?

thank you so much!!! I have tried recording my game before and the footage just comes out super lag. Hopefully later this year I will be able to get a computer and I could record something then. Also I don’t use any sliders or presets on my main Sims :)

@lllac-lady786 said: This isn’t a question, but your sims are just so pretty and you are so talented 🤩

thank you <3

Anonymous said: Did something happen to your Lydia hair?

I don’t think so? It seems to be fine for me

Anonymous said: How are you able to edit the new game pack when sims4studio hasn't been updated yet? I am itching to edit some stuff but I can't yet :(

I use CAS Tools! I might make a tutorial this week depending on how busy I am. Not sure though <3

Anonymous said: How likely would you be to recommend the new pack to another simmer out of 10?

(this was sent during Strangerville) I would say 8/10 recommendation. But I love storylines and stuff in games so my opinion is very based on that.

Anonymous said: Would you ever make male hair or recolour some of ea's so they work with your ombre accessory?

I am thinking of doing some ombre accessories for the new Island Living pack for the two ombre hairs. I am not sure if I will be able to or not but I will see :)

@milugameplay said: Hello sweetheart, I just like to say that I love the hairs that you create. Thank you for sharing them with us.

thank you <3 i appreciate the compliment

Anonymous said:Hi! When you uploaded peach earrings, the blonde sim had a braided hairstyle. Was it cc or a maxis one?

hey! It is from outdoor retreat GP :)

Anonymous said: Have nothing to ask. Just want to tell you that you are amazingly talented. ❤ I have been playing the sims since its original Sims 1 release, and have always been a heavy CC user. (Upwards of 50GB in sims 3). Never have I ever felt the need to download EVERYTHING a creator has ever made, until I found you. So, in short, you are amazeballs. Keep it up.

this is so sweet lmao. Even I don’t have all my own CC in my game <3 I appreciate this so so much. Thank you for this

Anonymous said: How did you learn to create custom content??Did you see any video tutorial? I'm trying to create a hair but I can not get it :(((( help me please

most of the stuff I have learned from trial and error, or help from S4S fourms and friends :) Feel free to message me with questions on tumblr or discord

Anonymous said: I know Sims 5 is still so far away, but I still have a question! With the release of Sims 4 so many awesome creators for Sims 3 just stopped creating from one day to another. So my question is: Could you imagine yourself creating Custom Content for Sims 5? I'm asking because I seriously love every single piece you create for Sims 4, and I really wish the glory era of Ah00b won't end with the release of Sims 5. Ily! <3

it depends on the style that TS5 goes for tbh. I love Sims 4 style and I don’t know much of anything about creating alpha hairs so if TS5 goes that direction I doubt I would be able to create for it. also thank you for calling it the glory era of ah00b lmao

Anonymous said: You have hairs named after all the girls in black pink except Rosé. Is there a reason for this?

Well I named a hair Rosanne thinking it was close enough to her name lmao. I might name a hair coming in July Rosie. We shall see when it gets to July XD

#asks #oml this was a mess bc my computer froze after I answered all these the first time and I had to go back through and reanswer #so I didn't answer some stuff the second time bc I was a bit annoyed with my computer #inbox is cleared Ill start answering stuff once a month #lets hope

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Misry rimmed eyes saw where the others helped her back to her feet. Drawing a breath that shuddered, not only with effort, he resolved, “This is the worst thing that I have ever done. If I get the chance, I will support Nore or carry her. I will not let her die while I live.”

With steps dragging from the fear that he would not be allowed to do what he could to remedy his awful errors of judgment, Sando set out after the band.

The heat was devastating. The hot sand and stones shimmered in dancing waves, making footing even more treacherous. Sando staggered.

“It is easy to understand Nore’s fall back there! I almost went down myself!”

Slipping on yet another sandy hillside, Sando noticed, “The sand and rock beneath the surface are cooler!”

Excited by the discovery, he scraped and dug a bit. It only needed a little depth. “It feels cool, actually!”

He rested in the cool spot he’d made for only a bit. He eagerly began to trace the band.

“I actually have something to help them! Not enough. Something is better than none …”

Rounding a gravel and sand hill, he nearly fell into one of the many arroyos that cut across the desert, making travel even more difficult and dangerous. The tracks that he was following cut sharply south and disappeared.

Heart in his mouth with fear that he was too late, Sando approached. There was a steep but manageable slope to the bottom. Seeing by the tracks that the ones he was following were safe, Sando scouted the rim of the arroyo and found a place where its far wall could be safely climbed before he went to follow them again.

The footing of the slope was treacherous. He felt his hind hooves go in a welter of sliding stones and broiling hot sand. Nearly taking a tumble, he sat his rear in the shifting soils and spread his forelegs for balance. He rode the small landslide safely to the bottom of the small canyon like cut.

He sat, panting away both his fear and resting a bit. Regaining his feet, he followed the tracks around a bend. The band was there, resting out the heat of the day in the shade of the arroyo’s rim. Most were laying down. Malit and Maina, standing, saw him and turned their backs to him, ready to kick if he should get too close.

He stopped and lowering his head in shame, said, “I do not blame you. If you will let me join you, I can show you how to be cooler. I can help Nore. I injured her. It is just that I help her.”

Nore bitterly demanded, “What do you have to offer us now, Bucket Breaker? Did you bring a well with you?”

Rom laid a gentle hoof on her shoulder and suggested, “He has offered us something of worth, if not water. He sounds a different horse than the one that we left behind.

“How can you do these things, Sando? Why should we trust you?”

Sando, keeping his head low, replied, “Try what I say and see if it does not help. As for trusting me? I would not either, in your place. I was an arrogant fool. The attempt of the Guard to murder me, like they did the family at the farm finally brought home to me how foolish I was.

“You are right, Sarel. Leadership needs wisdom that I lack. I will do as Rom says without question if you will have me back. It may be that my strength can get a few of you to the other side of the desert alive. At least, I can show you how to make a harness that will support Nore while her leg heals.”

Rom thought over what he had heard. He nodded slowly, face grim. “We will try what you suggest for being cooler. If that works, we will let you rejoin us. Understand that we do not trust you at all. We have no food or water and are like to die from that want. I hope that your ideas will work.

“How would you make us cooler?”

Sando replied, “Use the digging stick or your hooves. Mark out the resting place for one of you and dig it out five or ten centimeters. The soil UNDER the surface is far cooler.”

Nore took the digging stick and scraped industriously, quickly producing a mare sized crater. As she smoothed the bottom, she looked up in surprise.

“He was right! Lay down, Sarel. Try it!”

Soon the rest of the band were all resting in their own craters. Rom made Nore take the last one that she dug. Looking at Sando, he asked, “How will we manage, Sando?”

“It is not as easy, Rom, but we can scrape ours out by hoof. Let me help you.”

“No, Sando, this one is yours. It is the duty of the leader to see to those he leads. I will dig mine last.”

Downcast, Sando looked about at the small canyon’s walls of layered clays, gravel and stone. “I promised to follow your orders, Rom. You are right. However, a leader should not be unwilling to accept the help of those he leads. Let us both dig your hole. I will lay down with an easier heart if I have helped you even if it is only in a small way.”

They dug together quietly until Rom’s place was ready. Sando laid down first and then Rom.

Nore looked across the rim of her earthen crater to where Sando was settling down at last.

With half closed eyes, she offered, “Thank you, Sando. The cool ground does help.”

Her eyes closed. Her soft snores joined the others of the resting band.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

I was leaning into the pull, wagon heavy behind me. The only thing really helping, was the high quality of the Royal Road. The hard packed gravel made a continuous almost musical crunch under the iron tires of the wheels. I was nearing the Red Branch cutoff. That would lead me into the Maze.

It was getting late. The whole Maze canyon complex was no place to be after dark. I pulled into an abandoned share-cropper place to spend the night under cover. The old barn was barely big enough for my trade wagon, cover and all.

Why put the wagon indoors if it has a cover? Ground Nest and his other local pegasus buddies. Gang, really.

The roof of the barn was split shakes. The house had been thatch. In the course their ‘pranks’ Ground Nest and his little gang of pegassi drove old Mayhaw out.

Ripping up his roof and dropping rain on him was only the beginning. He was finished when they sneaked in at harvest and stole over a quarter of his crops and set rain on the rest.

Ground Nest and his buddies laughed about it openly down in Haulmarket but nopony did anything to stop them. Mayhaw was just an old donkey and who cares about donkeys, or goats for that matter? Me for one.

When asked, I always haul out a small mirror, look in it and retort, “Goodness! I certainly do seem to be a donkey! From the look of it, I appear to be old Marchhare! Guess that settles it, doesn’t it?”

Almost all of the pony run farms in the whole Red Branch District, or any other really rural District either, pretty much depend on the donkey traders and their wagons of seed grain, hardware, woven goods and small tools. Without our farm to farm services, they tend to go under. Paying ponies to do those errands is expensive.

Edict of Equality or not, the ponies mostly look down on us. Pranks that would cause outrage if they happened to a pony? Who cares, really? He/she’s just a donkey.

That is why I put the wagon out of sight. Like most of the traders, now, I do not trade in the Red Branch District. I am just passing through, as quickly and with as little notice as possible. Some of the farmers are waking up to just how bad the situation is. Not enough of them. Not soon enough.

Things stowed safely from aerial view, I took the time to inventory the load again. That was a satisfying if potentially misleading way to spend time. Counting coins that are not yet in your purse and all that.

It was all food and top quality grains for planting or eating. “Two chests of dried fruits, spendy, those. Two Gold, five for them alone. A chest of soft-bagged nuts. Five chests of the best grain in three varieties. The rest of the load was ten bales of the best clover hay with the flower tops.” Those were all wrapped tight against moisture.

Past experience with Ground Nest and his buddies explained the precautions. Slashing expensive wagon tops and drenching the donkey’s load is one of their favorite games.

Inventory done, I settled down by my wagon and made a funny looking reach. Funny looking because my hoof, up past the hock disappeared from view. When I completed the reach, I had a smallish orb of pale transparent green, a couple of inches across. It was mounted to an ornate black three legged stand with a motto scrolled around it.

Few nowadays could read that motto. The written language has changed a lot from those ancient days when I first invented the art of writing. Reflected in the surface of the orb that could not show any untrue thing was an elderly blue unicorn with a mane and beard gone white. Staring back at me was my real self.

The reflection of De Writer, the long banished foster father of the twin Princesses of the Realm stared back at the magically disguised Marchhare.

I whispered, “The Future is Forbidden.” Scenes came and went, observed in the Orb of the Ages. It can see any Past event with perfect accuracy. That past can be anything from fractions of a second ago, almost to the creation of the World of Equestria. I was scanning for threats to the safety of the Realm and my still precious foster daughters, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. I found nothing new to worry about.

I cast my view ahead, along my route, up the Red Branch, past the huge new irrigation project dam that was nearly done, and on, up into the Maze. I checked the only safe route over the Sunset Divide and down to the Desert of Celestia’s Anvil, arguably the hottest, driest desert in the world.

I was following my past explored route to Gyptia and the lands of the Godolphin. As always, I was looking widely ahead trying to find a safer, easier or faster way to cross that wasteland.

What I did find broke my heart. There were seven Gyptian horses attempting to cross the Anvil. They were cast out slaves by the look of the headstalls that they all wore. Their ribs stood out like barrel staves. There were too many such dying in Gyptia and nothing that I could do about any of them.

These? I tracked them back to Tadast’s Wells. There was no way that even my supplies could get them back to the town. They were already too far into the desert. Besides, there was the matter of some of the Godolphin’s Guard. If they did get back, it was death by starvation and thirst or death by spear. If they continued to try crossing the desert, they were going to die too.

I looked up from the Orb of the Ages. My cart of supplies might have a better use than feeding a wealthy Court that would survive without it. I might be able to bring these slaves into Equestria. I lay there and figured it as well as I could. It would be a close thing. At least a few of them should make it.
