Create a Sim September | Day 3: Garden

Today I was inspired by Lana Parilla's character (Rita Castillo), who is in charge of the town's prestigious garden club, in 'Why Women Kill' Season 2.

Create a Sim September | Day 8: Fairytale

I know I'm behind a few days, but I really am having fun with these. Today I decided to do a spin on an old classic: Hansel and Gretel. My version of the witch lures lost children in with her sweet smile and even sweeter confections -- though she must be careful not to scare them off with her sharp teeth and horns. Once she has captured her prey, she drains their energy to maintain her youthful glow. Hansel and Gretel will have to be smart and cunning to escape her grasp.

Create a Sim September | Day 11: Holiday

I wasn't feeling any of your traditional holidays, so I looked to see if there were any of those random holidays that seem to be made for marketing campaigns (can't beat a free Krispy Kreme donut on National Donut Day though). Today was actually National Chocolate Milkshake day! I was going for a retro diner/soda shop vibe, but I had a hard time finding poses. I used @mel-bennett's Starbucks Frappuccino accessory, and I recolored it to remove the logo and make the straw black. There are 3 swatches: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. I linked to the original mesh and recolor below.

Create a Sim September | Day 6: Date Night

This past week has been super busy, so I thought I would makeover a townie couple to make things a little easier. "It will be simple," I said... "It will be quick," I said... Then I ended up loving the Heckings so much that I couldn't stop myself from doing a whole photoshoot in Brindleton Bay (more photos after the cut). 😆

Create a Sim September | Day 7: Aspiration Inspired

I started thinking about Evelyn O'Connell (Rachel Weisz) in The Mummy when I was looking at the Archaeology Scholar aspiration from the Jungle Adventure pack. When I couldn't find any CC that fit her costumes well enough, I looked to Rachel Maksy for some vintage adventurer inspiration. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out, but maybe I will revisit this in the future when I have more CC-making experience as I currently only know how to recolor.

I know we there are times when we all need something to keep The Sims feeling new and exciting, but we can't always run out and buy the newest pack. I designed this challenge to help get some creativity flowing and push me outside my CAS comfort zone.

My goal is to upload one a day (in numerical order), but you can do them in any order you would like- or at any time. It doesn't have to be September! 😄

If you do decide to join in, I'd love to see your creations. You can tag the post #createasimsept and share it with me @pixellefaire on most platforms.

Create a Sim September | Day 10: Elder

This was supposed to be the prompt for Sunday since it was Grandparent's Day. I was originally going to make a sweet elderly couple, but I took the opportunity to give Clement Frost a quick summer makeover instead. His warm weather look wasn't half bad, but I wanted to do my own spin on it. Father Winter obviously needs to chill on the beach with a cold drink after getting through Winterfest.

( I never noticed it before, but does he remind anyone else of Jeff Bridges? 😆)

Create a Sim September | Day 9: Season

Here is the Ice Queen that I created for the Season prompt. I think this may be the first time I've used an unnatural skin tone (I don't have any occult packs), and I'm loving it! I'll definitely be creating more fantasy sims in the future.
