The Howell Household

Both werewolves. Lou and Alexa met at the bar in Moonwood Mill and bonded with her difficult family situation. Being the daughter of a vampire and becoming a werewolve wasn't easy. After reconnecting with Lou as a young adult they realized they were fated and moved in together to explore their wolf side in a place that truly accepts them.

Lou just wants to become the best leader of his pack showing werewolfs it's okay to be them. While Alexa prefers to keep to herself and intimidate all of those that don't agree with her. She plans on getting her revenge on Greg.

I feel like even if they weren't together romantically a romantic partner would be third wheeling. 😂

Be honest. Would you be disappointed if of them came out with a boyfriend and it wasn't the other?

oh i'd just stop caring lol. not in the sense that i only care about dan and phil cause they're dating cause god no but it's like... at this point? it's been too long dude. i've fought wars. that would just be too big of a dynamic change like it wouldn't be the same

unless it's like, some other boyfriend in addition to each other. that's fine that's whatever. i'd feel sorry for that guy though imagine third wheeling your own relationship

🌲 Moonwood Mill Residents

Ferocious Rory leads the Wildfangs and inspires other werewolves to embrace their Fury, such as rascally Lou who's still getting used to his new claws. Clever and curious Celene acts as a mediator between the two packs and bartender to all. Professor Wilder is the town's historian and librarian while writing his never-ending book series. Though there are differences in ideologies between the werewolves, everyone ultimately wants the best for the community.

Vanilla makeover of the premade townies in Moonwood Mill with the bonus of Greg* in a separate household.

Includes one of each outfit, hand-picked preferences, skills, careers, and more. CC skin details used in the preview pics but sim downloads are CC-free. Available on the gallery at m0ckest or tray files below.

*To avoid losing certain townies' special roles when applying makeovers, I recommend using this method with MCCC.

Rory Oaklow

The fierce leader of the Wildfang pack, whose bullheadedness is both their biggest strength and weakness. After feeling like a sheep following a flock, Rory broke away from Kristopher's altruist mentorship to explore a more untamed approach to lycanthropy. While still exploring life's options for a young werewolf, they're comfortable in their alpha role and value spreading Fury-positive messages to werewolves around the world by handcrafting and distributing zines with their best friend Lou.

Lou Howell

A fairly new werewolf and rowdy mischief-maker who gets himself into more trouble than he intends to. He found himself in Moonwood Mill after pushing his luck too many times in Evergreen Harbor and quickly connected with Rory, though it wasn't until after he became a werewolf himself that he joined their pack. He doesn't care for drawing or poetry but frequently photographs "slice of werewolf life" moments around town that are shared in the zine, as well as portraits of the locals.

Celene López

A resourceful human bartender and casual assistant to Professor Wilder who grew up with romanticized werewolf tales that almost got her transformed herself. With Lily's guidance, she formulated an anti-werebies concoction that is now widely used. After deciding to stay away from danger, she lives vicariously through her werewolf patron's stories and descriptions of life transformed, including the misadventures of her ex-boyfriend-turned-friend Lou whose welfare she continues to look out for.

Wolfgang Wilder

A sentimental historian and famous fictional series author who preserves the history of werewolves in his office in the Co-Op's library with the help of Celene. Older than he appears and full of somber memories, he is driven by a desire to educate sims and normalize the acceptance of werewolves worldwide. He avoids exposing the community in his endeavors, choosing instead to write captivating novels and teach courses about werewolf "folk lore" in the hopes of both protecting and uplifting them.

Greg Lunvik

Greg (full name Greggorius) rose from modest means to become a prosperous (and ill-famed) investor in San Myshuno before his treasured wife's early passing turned his world red with Fury. He spent almost two centuries rampaging as feral before time allowed him to regain his composure. Though he's no longer driven purely by Fury, residents of Moonwood Mill still keep their distance from the cantankerous beast—which bothers the loner not in the slightest.

The Howell-Goth Household: My Version

This is a little different than the other townie couples I've made up here. There's no luxury house on the edge of the region, and no established marriage of decades of centuries. This version of Lou and Bella found each other at the lowest point of their lives, fell in love, and ran away hand in hand from the trappings of their homes (a violent pack war and a suffocating marriage respectively).

Now they live in a two-bedroom fixer-upper in San Myshuno, with a little money and a LOT of old clothes (that the two share constantly). Lou is mastering his wolf on his own terms, and Bella is getting to know herself. So they might not have the right clothes for a courthouse wedding yet...but they do have freedom. And they're in love. Amidst all the guilt and fear and discomfort adjusting to a new world, this love is sacred.

Enjoy their photoshoot. :)

And a set of course....

"You sure you want me to have your necklace?"

"Of course I do! So you know I'm always with you wherever you go."

"C'mere." *nuzzle-nuzzle*

Gen Four Babies! (in order of appearance)

Ziggy, Ramone and Melody* (twins)

Even with Ramone having that snuggly sleeper trait (automatically making him a third choice to be the heir), so far in no small part due to Dad being a spellcaster, it's been a relative cakewalk?

(On that note, if you can spare some time before diving straight into object making and don't want to go the route of complete and utter chaos, I beg of you - beg of you - please upgrade your shit beforehand! Having beds with better mattresses and a bath/shower that breaks less and gets Sims cleaner all the faster has made a huuuuge difference.)

Also Zio (Uncle) Alessio is around to help out. He doesn't really need to be but it's a handy way to get him to graduate high school without switching between households.

*Yup, next gen will make their money from music. So Ziggy's name is a dual tribute to both David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and Bob Marley (son's name), Ramone is for the band, and Melody is pretty self-explanatory.

Alexa & Lou

Alexa aged up. She invited Lou to the party because he is one of her only werewolf friends and turns out they were fated mates.

She decided that since her house was so tense with her mother and her butting head lately it would be a good idea to move in with him. She can't escape fate so better to kickstart her future.

They shared their first kiss at the werewolf hangout under the bar. This is where they met the first time and the memories confirmed to her this was the best choice.

She tried college to know what would be the best path for her career but she didn't get into any distinguished degree. Her aspiration is lone wolf and Lou is in the criminal career so he will sustain them for now.

Elianora Baxendale Harkins Born: January 17, 1285 Died: March 2, 1308 Age: 23 Years Old Place of Birth: Herefordshire, England Spouse: Sibert Harkins Children: Edyth, Edric, Auisia, Howel & Aylwin. Biography: Elianora Baxendale Harkins was born on January 17, 1285, in the picturesque countryside of Herefordshire, England. The daughter of a modest farmer, Elianora was raised in a loving household where she learned the values of hard work, family, and faith. From an early age, she displayed a natural aptitude for domestic skills, helping her mother with household chores and tending to the small garden that provided for her family. On January 30, 1300, at the age of 15, Elianora married Sibert Harkins, a young man from her village who had recently inherited his family's farm. The couple began their life together with hope and determination, eager to build a prosperous future on the land they called home. Despite the challenges of an empty farm, Elianora and Sibert worked tirelessly to cultivate the soil, plant crops, and restore the farm to its former glory. Their efforts bore fruit as the once-empty farm slowly came to life, reflecting the strength and resilience of their young marriage. Elianora's life was defined by her role as a wife and mother. In April 1301, she gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Edyth. Over the next few years, the Harkins family grew, with the births of Edric in 1302, Auisia in 1303, Howel in 1305, and Aylwin in 1308. Elianora was a devoted mother who cherished her children, tending to their needs with love and care, despite facing numerous hardships. Elianora's journey through motherhood was fraught with difficulties. She experienced several health complications, including anemia and gestational diabetes, and suffered the heartbreak of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Despite these challenges, Elianora remained a pillar of strength for her family, determined to provide a loving home for her children. Tragically, Elianora's life was cut short on March 2, 1308, at the age of 23. After giving birth to her fifth child, Aylwin, she succumbed to complications from a postpartum hemorrhage. Her passing left a profound void in the lives of those she left behind, particularly her husband, Sibert, who was now tasked with raising their five young children alone. Elianora Baxendale Harkins will be remembered as a woman of grace, resilience, and unwavering love. She faced life's challenges with courage and determination, always placing her family's well-being above her own. Her legacy lives on through her children, who carry forward the values she instilled in them. Though her time on earth was brief, Elianora's impact on her family and her community was profound, and her memory will be cherished by those who knew and loved her.

[lesbiandanhowell]

you know what time it is

Sam reacts to: Dan and Phil are Getting Divorced

First of all the title had me GAGGED but also I love the way they clickbait without clickbaiting? They know thar we've learned not to take any of the titles too serious so it's just like an inside joke by now.

- I have played this before with a friend so I know the story and can judge if they are being stupid or good at it. UPDATE: They are incredible, like they are endlessly better than me and my friend were. Funfact: I played it with a friend after she broke up with her girlfriend and didn't have anyone to play it with anymore

- The different buttons on Xbox vs Switch IS A CRIME so true Phil.

- It looked like Phil wanted an answer after "we can do team work!" and just didn't get one, sad moment.

- The household chores banter is so domestic fuxk me j am crying (live reaction I will leave this unedited)

- "That is also sucking not blowing" OKAY THEN. Despite all the openings for innuendos this video has surprisingly little innuendos or even half dirty jokes? Very kid friendly language.

- I am sorry but Dan's lack of reaction at Phil calling himself husband has me raising an eyebrow, like Dan is not fazed because it happens all the time.

- They are working together so much better than I expected you can tell they have a inherent connection. This is obviously the type of game they are more used to playing and their shared brain from sharing a life for 14 years becomes so clear in the way they play together.

- How are they already codependent in a game they played about 20 minutes... (Phil saying he doesn't want to play alone).

- "Highfive me motherfucker!" That made me laugh out loud because it is SO Dan.

- "They could just go to therapy" - the friend who recommends everyone therapy after they went, we all have them.

- They have such a intrinsic way they work together? Like when they are confronted with a task where they have to work together, they don't even have to discuss who does what it just works out organically. That only comes from being together as long as they have and being such a perfect match.

- Phil knocking Dan's head >>>> love language for real

- "Which one?" Daniel Howell you are a homosexual I don't think Phil was asking if you'd smash the woman?!

- This is the most real Dan we have ever seen. Yes he will trick Phil into getting him killed but he also GENUINELY compliments Phil when doing well or winning a minigame, like that we don't get in their competitions.

- "Excellent work Lester" The last name use got me feeling some type of way not sure why.

- Dan: "I've been on grindr" Phil: "You literally made me die saying that"

- They are SUCH a good team, nothing shows this more than co-op games.

My biggest take away from this was just how much they praise and compliment each other? They are so polite and appreciative and say thank you and everything so many times in this video, probably more than in any other gaming video we have seen before. I think this is how they play video games together personally and I am glad we got to see this calm, less chaotic and to me more real version of them. I enjoy their competitiveness but this was a very wholesome insight into another side of them.

Can't wait for the next part because if they don't finish this game series I will commit crimes.

Lou Howell

Age: 19

Birthday: August 24th

Hometown: Copperdale

Species: Shapeshifter // Lycan (Beta)

Sexuality: Straight

Current Status: Alive

Partner(s): Imogen Sumner, Eloise Tinsley (ex)

Born & raised in Plumbite Cove, Copperdale, Lou grew up in a very voilatile household. To Lou's knowledge, he's an old child and the result of a one night stand. Lou spent most of his early days mistreated and unhappy with his mother, Melissa. Often letting Lou wander wherever, whenever, he spent most of his time outdoors. Perusing the neighborhood or looking for other children to play with. Due to a few of his odd behaviors, Lou found it hard to make friends. He'd often just follow other groups of kids around trying to interact with them. He was quite chatty and outgoing, though despite his efforts he was disliked and ignored. He knew he was different, but couldn't pin point what it was that made him so abnormal. After stumbling upon a cozy cul-de-sac one hazy summer afternoon Lou met Imogen Sumner and from that point on the two were inseparable. Every summer Lou awaited Imogen's arrival. In the time he had been visiting Imogen's grandmother's home he had grown quite close with the family. Dallas would tend to his neglected hair. Cale would teach him how to ride a bike. Hattie would make sure he was always well fed. Despite the abuse he experienced at home, Lou always remained chipper and kind. While the physical abuse stopped upon Lou reaching puberty, his mother was still unkind to him. Often locking him out of the house or purposefully not saving food for him. Lou's oddities only grew as he grew older, which only caused his mother to become more fearful of him. However, Lou was able to make friends as he grew older. First came Owen, then William, Savannah, and then Eloise. William, Owen, and Savannah could tell Lou was similar to them, but it was evident that he was not aware of what he was. Until he was accidentally knocked into the water by the pier on the night of a full moon and Lou's life would be changed forever. After his first shift, Lou was thrown out by his mother with no where to go since Hattie had passed a few weeks earlier. Lou's friends introduced him to Rory Oaklow, who took him in and under her wing.

Fun facts:

Much to Imogen's dismay, Lou loves chocolate.

Lou's very athletic. He often likes to go for walks or hikes. Always forcing Imogen to tag along with him.

Lou is extremely handy. From building a desk to fixing up a car, he can do it all.

Lou's hair is actually quite curly. Unwilling to tend to it, he often just brushes his curls out.

Lou hates the color blue. It reminds him of his mother's eyes.

Lou's theme song is If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn.

Through Sickness and In Health

Summary: After Phil's hospital stay and their vacation, Dan and Phil try to fall back into their routine. Though it's hard to go back to normal when your normal has changed so suddenly. How will the significant health scare affect Dan and Phil even weeks after it's over?

Genre: Canon Compliant with angsty moments

Warnings: Blood mentions, panic attacks

Read On AO3

Phil yawned and adjusted his glasses before reaching into one of the kitchen cabinets to grab a mug. It had been just a few days since he and Dan returned home from their holiday and just a few weeks since his emergency visit to the hospital. Overall, things had gone back to normal for the Lester, Howell household. The biggest change was the small amount of sleep both men were getting these days. Phil was plagued with nightmares nearly every night, which would make it difficult to have a full night’s rest. Then there was Dan, who was always too busy focusing on Phil, worrying that he could get hurt or sick again. His mind would never quiet down long enough to sleep for very long. 

Dan had always been a bit overprotective of Phil, but it had gotten more intense since the accident. Every time that Phil would make more noise than normal, whether it was dropping something or tripping over his own feet, Dan would run to him in a panic. They were always joined at the hip, but lately, it was even less common to see one without the other. Phil wasn’t even allowed to shower with the door closed anymore, just in case something happened and he needed Dan. 

It was a lot and slightly overwhelming for Phil, but he knew Dan was just trying to help. He also knew that Dan was just scared and wanted to do anything he could to make sure that Phil was safe. He would do the same if the roles were reversed. 

Phil walked sleepily to the coffee machine, preparing his coffee robotically. It was nice to be falling back into his old routine after so much chaos. Wake up, make coffee, do some work, and wait for Dan to wake up. Phil had always been more of an early riser, so he’d wake up at least a couple of hours before Dan would. 

He added milk and a few sugars to his coffee and turned to put the sugar away, knocking his mug down in the process. The white mug shattered across the wooden floor, the coffee pooling around the broken pieces like a bad abstract painting. 

“Fucking hell,” Phil grumbled, bending down to pick up the ceramic pieces. 

He had picked up a few of the bigger pieces, collecting them in his hand when he felt a sharp, burning pain in his thumb. Phil huffed and glared at his hand, seeing blood dripping from the cut and down his wrist. He had always been a heavy bleeder, so it didn’t surprise him. More than anything, it just annoyed him. 

A few drops of crimson hit the coffee puddle as Phil pushed himself into a standing position to dispose of the broken mug. At that moment, Dan raced into the kitchen, his forehead sweaty and his brown curls matted. 

“Oh god Phil, what happened? Are you okay?” Dan rambled, running over to his partner. 

Phil smiled sheepishly and nodded, “Yeah I’m okay love, just knocked my coffee over.” 

Dan nodded slowly and looked at Phil’s bleeding hand with a gasp, “Phil, honey, you’re bleeding.” he whimpered, suddenly feeling lightheaded. 

“It’s just a small cut, I bleed a lot you know that. I’m o- Dan? What’s wrong? Hey, hey, let’s get you sat down, yeah?” Phil frowned, leading his boyfriend to sit down in a dining chair. 

The brunette dry heaved a few times after sitting, his head still spinning at the sight of blood. He had never reacted to blood until now. He couldn’t figure out what changed. It wasn’t the smell or anything, not even the way it oozed. There was just so much of it, pooling around the love of his life. Too much blood, too much blood lost. Phil could die, he could lose Phil forever. 

Dan started breathing in uneven huffs and gripping Phil’s shirt tightly, “so much blood. There’s so much.” he cried, trying in vain to control his breathing. 

Phil frowned, “Danny, I’m not even bleeding anymore, see?” He asked, showing off the small cut on his thumb, “it’s just a scratch. I’m not bleeding anymore, I’m okay.” he assured, cupping his partner’s cheek.

“Okay… okay, sorry. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Blood never bothered me before… before the hospital. There was so much blood Phil, I thought I was going to lose you. And I know I should just be thankful that you didn’t die but you could have! Sorry… I’m trying to calm down.” Dan whispered, loosening his grip on Phil’s shirt. 

The older man sighed sadly and kissed Dan’s cheek, “Don’t apologize. It was traumatic for both of us. But I’m okay, you’re okay too. It’s still scary but it won't be forever.” 

Dan threw himself into Phil’s arms, calming his breathing slowly as he focused on Phil’s heartbeat. Phil rubbed up and down his back, feeling himself relax a bit as well. Even when things felt scary and overwhelming, they would always find a way to help each other through it. 

A while later, after the coffee mess had been cleaned up, both men were lying in their bed with a movie playing on the TV. Neither of them were paying attention to the screen, instead just focusing on each other’s company. Phil felt exhausted, the sleepless nights were catching up to him, and Dan wasn’t much better.

“Take a nap, Phil, you need it,” Dan whispered with a smile, running his fingers through his boyfriend’s blond hair. 

Phil could only nod as he let his eyes droop to a close.

~

“Will he be okay? Please tell me he’ll be okay!” Dan yelled, making Phil feel uneasy. 

He looked around himself quickly, bright artificial lights surrounding him. He could hear the beeps of nearby machines and smelled something rusty. Phil looked down and gasped. He saw himself splayed on the cold hospital floor. Blood surrounded him, people surrounded him. Dan was clinging to the bag that they had packed in a rush, tears pouring from his eyes. 

“He’s not likely to make it lad.” A gruff-looking doctor mumbled, “lost too much blood.” 

The doctor pulled out two odd-looking pieces of machinery, rubbing them together quickly. “Clear!” He yelled before pushing them against Phil’s chest. 

Pain shot through Phil, making him shake and cry out. He wanted to beg the doctor to stop, tell him that he was alive and could feel everything. He wanted to yell out to Dan that he was alive, that he would be okay. He needed the pain to stop. 

“Clear!” The doctor yelled again before excruciating pain shot through Phil again.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he willed his body to move away from the shocks. He couldn’t deal with any more pain. The beeping sounded like it was screaming in his ears and the lights were blinding him. Dan, where was Dan? He needed Dan. He tried to cry out, but he couldn’t make a sound. 

“I’m calling it… time of death,” The doctor mumbled, but Phil couldn’t focus on him. 

“Phil… love wake up.” Dan’s voice mumbled through the beeping.

Phil woke up with a gasp, turning to see that Dan was sitting next to him with a worried look on his face. Phil took a deep breath and shuffled in the bed, frowning when he felt some wetness. No… he didn’t wet the bed, he couldn’t have. 

“Let’s get the sheets cleaned, we can take a quick shower and then order some food, yeah?” Dan asked, pecking Phil’s lips before rolling out of the bed.

Phil gritted his teeth together, angry at himself. He was a grown-ass man, he had no reason to wet the bed. What was wrong with him? His stomach clenched before sobs began to wrack through his chest. 

“I’m sorry Dan, I’m so fucking sorry for everything! I’m thirty-seven years old and you’re having to take care of me like I was a toddler. I can’t believe I pissed the bed. I’ll clean the sheets, you go shower. I’m sorry Dan. I’m useless, I’m falling apart. You should leave me, this isn’t fair to you.” Phil sobbed, burying his face into his hands. 

Dan blinked back his own tears and walked to Phil’s side of the bed, “Love… no, none of this is your fault. Accidents happen sometimes, it doesn’t matter how young or old you are. You’re not useless, you’re not falling apart. You’re going through a scary time, things like this are bound to happen. You were having a nightmare again, your body was reacting to that. Let’s get this cleaned up. Together.” He whispered, kissing the top of Phil’s head calmly. 

Phil sniffled and stood up on shaky legs, helping Dan pull the sheets off of the bed and take them to the laundry room. In the laundry room, both men stripped off their clothes and added them to the wash as well. 

“Head to the bathroom and start our shower bubs, I’m going to grab us some pajamas.” Dan hummed, kissing Phil’s tear-stained cheek.

Phil nodded and walked to the bathroom, starting the hot water with a sigh. He felt so much shame, so much embarrassment that he couldn’t focus on anything else. How could Dan be okay with everything that had happened? Phil was supposed to take care of Dan, not the other way around. 

A few moments later, Dan walked into the bathroom with pajamas and oversized towels. Wordlessly, he climbed into the hot stream of water, pulling Phil in with him. The hot water relaxed Phil's tense back and shoulders as Dan scrubbed him clean with fresh-smelling body wash. 

Tears filled Phil’s eyes again while Dan carefully washed his hair and behind his ears, “I’m so sorry Danny. I don’t deserve you.” he whimpered. 

Dan paused his movements for a moment before rinsing Phil’s hair for him and washing his own hair. How could his partner of fifteen years think that he didn’t deserve Dan? They were made for each other, and Dan knew that better than anyone. 

“Listen to me Phil, we’re partners. We take care of each other, we love each other and we are there for each other. You deserve me just as much as I deserve you.” Dan whispered, resting his forehead against Phil’s. “I want you through the good times and the bad times. I want to grow old with you, I want to see the ugliest parts of you and show you the ugliest parts of me. I want us to cherish each other for the rest of our lives. I want to take care of you when you need me to, and I know you’ll always do the same for me. Through sickness and in health, you’re my person and I’ll love you forever.” 

Phil smiled tearfully and wrapped his arms tightly around Dan, the warmth of the shower water and Dan’s skin relaxing him significantly, “I want that too Dan. I just feel like such a burden lately and I don’t want to do that to you. I’ll love you forever too.” 

Dan smiled, “Do you really think I would take care of you if I didn’t want to? Have you even met me? I’m stubborn as hell, I don’t do what I don’t want to do.” He joked, turning off the water and stepping out of the shower. 

“I guess you’re right.” Phil giggled, letting Dan help him out of the shower.

Both men grabbed a towel and dried each other off, as they had done for many years now. Phil couldn’t help but think about the first shower that they took together, back in 2011. Dan had broken down in tears after he had thrown up on the floor, so Phil had started him a shower. Dan being Dan, wouldn’t let him leave so eventually he just climbed in with the brunette. 

That night, all those years ago, Phil had washed Dan just as gently and lovingly as Dan had done for him tonight. They had shared tears and tight hugs as the hot water washed away their stress and anxieties. Maybe their love had always been through sickness and in health. 

“Hmm, I kind of like having a naked Phil in front of me. No clothes for you.” Dan said suddenly, pulling Phil from his thoughts. 

Phil rolled his eyes, “Oi, give me my clothes.” 

Dan hummed innocently before grabbing both sets of clothes, turning, and running out of the room, “You gotta catch me first!” 

“Dan! Really?! It’s cold in here!” Phil yelled back before chasing Dan through their house. 

“Don’t look for someone who will solve all of your problems. Look for someone who won’t let you face them alone.”

Thorne: “Dinner looks amaaaaazing, Lovebug! Thank you!”

Hex stands in the kitchen to eat her meal, mulling over her bit of tofurkey. It’s a little…dry. A little bit flavourless. As werewolves, the Quick-Howell household appreciate the taste of food as is without enhancing it with seasonings.

She suddenly recalls the secret she overheard from Lou Howell, Lovella’s father, who confided in Thorne that his daughter’s cooking wasn’t great. To sample it now causes Hex to cough, choking back laughter and a chunk of overcooked tofurkey. Harvestfest is about family, not just good food. At least she’s got one out of two things today.

Ruid: “The salad is YUM, Auntie Ashe! I’m having more!”

Lovella flicks her child a side-eyed glance as they avoid the tofurkey altogether, dipping into another helping of a gourmet salad prepared by their aunt. Hex has to turn away to stop her laughter. No one knows she’s the one who blackmailed the secret about Lovella’s cooking. They’d be hurt and annoyed if they found out, but the whole situation is so funny!
