Following on from the recent sad new that @jius-sims is retiring from making custom content for the Sims 4, I wanted to put together a bit of an ode to their incredible work. I don't think there's many lookbooks I've made that don't use at least a pair of their expertly crafted shoes. This post isn't exhaustive and I highly recommend checking out their back catalogue of work because their creations are truly next level. CC links under the cut.

Drag Me Down (1955)

[actualphantom]

ranch hand!cooper x married!lucy au | 1950s

Her fingers trace lightly over his back, mapping the blemishes and scars he's accumulated over the years. "And this one?" He laughs. "Sugarfoot. Only time she's ever thrown me is when I was breaking her in." Warm breath ghosts over his shoulder blade as she giggles against him, goosebumps rising over his exposed skin. "Seems like you never make a good first impression. What about this?" It's foolish. He knows their time together is over for the day if he tells the truth, maybe even the week if the guilt has already been clawing at her, but he's never been one to shy away from a mistake. "That one… that one was from Monty. When we were kids." Lucy sighs. She's gentle, but the loss of her touch feels like the deepest cut he's ever got.

Aspiring actor Cooper Howard is struggling to make ends meet. After losing out on yet another dream role, he accepts an unexpected invitation from a childhood buddy; Monty's just started running his father-in-law's ranch, and working the summer away whilst drinking beer and shooting the shit with an old friend sure sounds better to Coop than waiting around to lose his room in LA. But Cooper gets more than he bargained for when he meets and falls head over heels for Monty's new young wife, Lucy MacLean.

DRAG DOLLS AS9 E2.2 - DRAG IMITATES ART

The second category of the All Stars 9 Paint Ball was 'Drag Imitates Art', which had the queens turn the works of famous artists into fabulous outfits. I was honestly shocked no one made reference to Roy Lichtenshein's ICONIC pop art creations, so of course I had to give it a go myself. Naturally these artworks lend themselves to retro 1950s styling and I kept the colour palette to bold primary hues. How cool is that halftone make up by the way?!
