1999 castle style home in Potomac, MD is colorful and over-the-top. It was featured in Home Beautiful and Decor Magazine, 2 publications I'm not familiar with. 4bds, 6ba, $3.25M + $406/mo HOA.

The entrance has a big gothic arch and large stripes on the walls. The wood trim is painted to match the stone.

Dramatic sweeping staircase has Medieval iron mesh railings. The walls have a faux Venetian plaster finish.

The home is a mix of styles that boggle my mind. This is a provincial music room in the turret.

The sitting room features an ultra modern fireplace wall.

It has what look to be sliding shelving and a mezzanine.

Yes, it definitely slides, note the hardware and the guide in the floor so you don't get crushed sitting there.

Dining room with the faux finish on the walls and coffered ceiling.

Butler's pantry off the dining room is even a kitchenette.

Stone guest half bath with a sink set into a carved base.

The kitchen is gigantic.

Nice green cabinets, a ladder to get to the uppermost ones, a gorgeous stone exhaust hood, and a banquette in the dining area.

A seating space with a fireplace that matches the exhaust hood.

Classy wood paneled office with an ornate ceiling.

Going up the turret stairs.

The mezzanine.

Small library/sitting room.

The primary is very large and has rounded shelf walls. Look at how the ceiling goes up higher above the bed and I think it has a mirror.

Very lavish bath.

Even the closet/dressing room is elegant.

Then, the stairs sweep down to the lower level.

To the rec room & pool room.

Wine cellar with tasting table & seating.

Kitchenette.

Home gym.

Large patio, but no pool.

Home is on 1.60 acres.

(full previews, credits and details below the cut)

An extensive selection of Bruno’s lingerie converted for Momma Lisa. Everything is on the same mesh with fat and preg morphs (you get to choose between blockfeet and sexyfeet) and with repositoried options, so this won’t overload your cc folder. Everything is compressorized but I would still advise using LazyDuchess’s CC Merger once you’ve made your selection to further reduce loading times.

Everything is categorized as underwear and BSOK’d. All files are clearly labeled and numbered swatches are included so you can pick and choose easily.

The required mesh

A mesh tweaked from the Momma Lisa top and bottom meshes by CelestialSpider from here. Here shown with sexy feet - don’t forget to choose between sexy feet and block feet.

Poly count: blockfeet: 1,948 // sexyfeet: 6,530.

Cutie Pie Set

Bruno’s original Cutie Pie set

The satin recolor was further recolored by @curiousb in their very generous palette 🥰

It was also recolored by @mrs-mquve-cc in many beautiful bright tones:

“Intimates for Elder Ladies” Set

Bruno’s original Intimates for Elder Ladies set

For AF & EF (all other sets are AF only, see the final note at the bottom for details). The 3 “Dainty Drawers” in the third picture originally had stockings - unfortunately I had to remove them because they weren’t working with the mapping of sexy feet. Bruno’s textures also feature a hole in the root chakra region let’s say (not pictured here but you can sort of see it on the original MTS previews). I made an alternative version without the hole, in case someone prefers that (you’ll have to choose one or the other).

@mrs-mquve-cc recolored the first and second sets:

Mrs-MQuve’s originals

Those are only available as standalone (the originals are on different files depending on if you choose the block feet or the sexy feet version, and that would have meant twice as much work repo’ing my files to them - and at this point sorry that’s too much lol).

Funky Time & Sixth Sense in Veranka’s RCs

The second set, “sixth sense” was also recolored by @mrs-mquve-cc​ under the name “Valentine’s lace lingerie”:

IntisSIMo Set

Bruno’s original IntisSIMo set

Slig converted 3 colors from this set here, and @simhow converted 5 colors here. I thought I’d still do the whole palette so it would all be on the same mesh. You’ll see on that same Slig post that they also converted 3 other Bruno undies that I included here, but on a pretty cool mesh with pointy nipples, which you might prefer to mine if your game is on the realistic side.

~~~

Final note: Why isn’t everything enabled for EF? Because standard skins are adapted to elders having saggy boobs, which means that an elder wearing a bra made for AF will more often than not have a weird-looking underboob area. Among all these lingerie sets, only the one that Bruno made for elders to begin with was covering enough not to have that issue, so that’s the only one I enabled for EF. If however you use skins correlated to the Momma Lisa body shape (such as the ones I have here), your ML elders don’t have saggy boobs and therefore won’t have the weird underboob thing. In any case, you can always enable a recolor for EF by opening it in simPE, opening the Property Set and changing the “age” line from 0x00000048 to 0x00000058.

Now that I have a desktop instead of a mid-2000s laptop that would take 20min to load every map, even a fast travel (not an exaggeration,) I decided now was a great time to ...... completely redo all of my Inquisitors from scratch.

on one hand. fuck that prologue demon. fuck the entirety of the exalted plains. "sEe ReASoN, lYseTTe." PLEASE WILL THE BEARS JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

on the other!!! not to get goopy on 9yr old computer graphics, but have you PLAYED DA:I on ultra mesh settings?? OH MY GOD.

it's SO DIFFERENT when you're not on super low resolution and don't take 20min to change maps!!!! is this how y'all were living THE WHOLE TIME????

good morning ♪(´ε｀ )

im here to rant about how much i love the elite guard in tfa.

usually im more of a decepticon guy, but the elite guard was strangely compelling to me. i thought all the characters we only got glimpses or snippets were really interesting. i do wish we got to see more of them.

i just feel like we couldve gotten more interactions and dynamics between them. they all seem like they mesh together really well to me.

anyways this is an excuse for me to talk about my self indulgent poly ship. i usually call it the "jettwins parental unit". mostly because it started as the ship sentinel/jazz (who i headcanon raised the twins) and it just branched out from there. it includes many of the elite guard, plus optimus and ratchet, depending on the variant. (there are lots of variants because i cant decide on a set canon in tfa)

anyways the most interconnected part of the polycule is sentinel, jazz, optimus, ultra magnus, perceptor, cliffjumper, and longarm. it does brach out to other characters though. theres no way i can explain my choices briefly so you'll just have to take my word for it.

-ant anon (owning up to a bayverse egg ask, a megatron swerverger ask, and several miscellaneous tfp megatron asks)

oh man i gotta watch more tfa. the elite guard were certainly interesting, they deserve a polycule

[couldbebetterforsure]

You should write your own version of Ash in Paldea fanfic because i would like to read it

Anon, my dear, I am sooooo sorry it took me FOREVER and a day to respond to this ask! As much as I would like it I feel that would be a bit much for me to write a proper worthy fic! Such a fic would take a shit ton of planning and time and I already had some still in progress fics that have long been waiting to be updated! But your ask did make me wanna at least do a run through of which of our Paldea Pokémon would Ash have most likely gotten had he been able to hang out in Paldea! Let’s go through them one by one (or evolution group by group)! Some of my answers will be short one sentence stuff but others might be more wordy! Overall though it’s gonna come down to “can I picture him with one based on how well I’ve gotten to know him over the past 20 something years?”

I’m leaving out the four ruinous treasures Pokémon as they are considered legendaries and Ash doesn’t officially get the legendaries unless they are the “follow you from the start” ones like Nebby in Alola was for him. As for the Paradox Pokémon I was originally gonna include them (other than the legendary versions again) since I'd generally consider them to be similar to Ash's Poipole/Naganadel in being more special than other Pokemon but still fair game. However I thought it over more and considering the game emphasizes the whole "Paradox Pokemon will more than likely cause harm to the ecosystem as they are outside their own time period and so need to be kept in Area Zero where they and those around them will be safest" I think it'd be FAR more likely for them to be used in special episodes like the Ultra Beasts were treated in the Alola anime.

For the record my own opinions and biases are at play here! If anyone reading this has their own thoughts please share them!!! I definitely wanna know what others think on this!

Koraidon-Miraidon: Like I said earlier Ash doesn’t get the legendary unless they’re with you from the start and that’s the category the raidons fall under! I think either one could work well with Ash and while personally I would love Miraidon as that’s my baby I feel like Koraidon would probably mesh better with Ash’s vibes. I can actually imagine a storyline where both Professor Sada AND Professor Turo exist and are clashing with their ideals regarding past and future (so both kinds of Paradox Pokemon will be around to run amok). And while Ash gets one of the raidons as his buddy the other raidon (the alt one instead of a copy) can play as Ash’s raidon’s personal antagonist. How the relationship between the two raidons change over time would be interesting to see!

Sprigatito-Floragato-Meowscarda: The Galar anime brought an end to the tradition of Ash being guaranteed at least one of the starters. And before that Kalos broke the tradition of Ash for sure getting the grass starter. But I still feel like the Sprigatito line has the best chance of being part of Ash’s team of the starters. Is this partially fueled by how for every generation to date Ash and I have meshed on starter choices (yeah I guess that doesn’t mean much for the generations he got all three for BUT STILL!!!!) Plus I love the idea of Ash getting a Grass/Dark kitty to go with his Fire/Dark kitty Incineroar!

Fuecoco-Crocalor-Skeldirge: This friendly fella does have a fair chance, although I picture it following the same vein as Oshawott or Rowlet or Totodile before it.

Quaxly-Quaxwell-Quaquaval: Again, I can see it but in the sense of being treated like Oshawott, Rowlet, and Totodile were.

Lechonk-Oinkologne: Hmm, I can’t really see it.

Tarountula-Spidops: Really can’t see it.

Nymble-Lokix: You know, I can sorta picture it. Not one of those “oh yeah totally fits” ones but if it did happen in a canon setting I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow at it.

Pawmi-Pawmo-Pawmot: As much as I adore this line Ash NEVER gets the Pika clones since his main buddy is the original Pika pal!!!

Tandemaus-Maushold: Nah I don’t see it happening.

Fidough-Dachsbun: Listen I would LOVE if Ash got this line! My boy deserves an adorable puppy Pokemon okay? It would be the cutest shit imaginable and I would be all in for it! But in a canon setting I personally would be pleasantly surprised if he got one rather than thinking it’s one of those almost guarantees. But holy hell do I want a universe where this dream is real.

Smoliv-Dolliv-Arboliva: I find this to be an adorable little guy who evolves into an interesting guy but I don’t know I can’t exactly see Ash having one. But I can’t exactly give it a hard no either because Ash’s Sewaddle-Swadloon-Leavanny was one I didn’t think would work but ended up fitting more than I expected and the Smoliv line kinda is in that same category.

Squawkabilly: Don’t really see it.

Nacli-Naclstack-Garganacl: Originally I would’ve given this one a pass but I’ve kinda grown on the idea of Ash having one? I don’t know I guess it’s a step above my reasoning for the Nymble-Lokix line for some reason. Yeah, this is one of those “I can’t explain why but the idea is more interesting than expected” ones.

Charcadet-Armarouge-Ceruledge: FUCK YES! Please it would be a travesty if Ash didn’t get one okay? I actually have an idea that follows that plot that tends to get repeated of Ash taking in another trainer’s abused Pokemon. Ash taking in this poor little Charcadet that had been let down over and over by its previous trainer and slowly learns to find a new happier and healthier home with Ash and his friends. And as it grows stronger over time it also has to face up to those emotions it feels over what it went through with its old trainer. And trying to sort through those emotions and how it grows and accepts different aspects of itself and what happened to it and how it will live on comes together when it has to decide which armor it will wear, and thus whether it evolves into Armarouge or Ceruledge. And honestly I think good arguments can be made for it picking either evolution (Ceruledge is my baby so I want that option so badly) but I feel like Armarouge and everything that evolution stands for may ultimately be the one that it takes.

Tadbulb-Bellibolt: Another one of those “don’t picture it too well but wouldn’t be too surprised if it happened” ones.

Wattrel-Kilowattrel: This is a tough one in that Ash has a habit of getting a regional bird (though this tradition is not that set in stone but still happens). But Paldea doesn’t exactly have a true regional bird. The closest would probably be the Wattrel line. I don’t know I’m really fond of the idea of Ash getting one but I’m not as set on it as I expected to be.

Maschiff-Mabosstiff: I don’t think so. I mean a small part of me can picture it but for the most part I feel like this fella is way more associated with my guy Arven. And in this hypothetical anime with Ash I do indeed picture Arven in it and of course they’d give him Mabosstiff.

Shroodle-Grafaiai: I won’t give this one a hard no. I’m not sold in all the scenarios I’m picturing but I can warm up to the idea.

Bramblin-Brambleghast: Not really seeing it.

Toedscool-Toedscruel: Haha I live for the silly run this guy has in the game but no I don’t see Ash having his own.

Klawf: As much as I think this goofy fella is entertaining I don’t see one ever joining Ash’s squad.

Capsakid-Scovillain: I can’t imagine this spicy fella with Ash at all honestly!

Rellor-Rabsca: No I can’t see it.

Flittle-Espathra: I really like the evolution of this line but I just can’t see one meshing well with Ash. But part of me would want it to happen just to see how the anime would make it work!

Tinkatink-Tinkatuff-Tinkaton: Listen I’m surprisingly invested in the idea of Ash having one of these fellas on his team. Like it can be genuinely cute and cool and I actually like picturing Ash helping out Tinkatink with gaining bravery and confidence, and how that growth and bond between them affects each evolution.

Wiglett-Wugtrio: Nah, not at all 😂

Bombirdier: Not seeing this one either.

Finizen-Palafin: I’m more into this than I expected! I can’t say hard yes or hard no. But I like the idea of it and would wanna see how it would work in the anime.

Varoom-Revavroom: I don’t see it.

Cyclizar: I don’t see it. And it’s not just because I believe Ash would get one of the raidons, even if they didn’t exist I don’t see Ash clicking with a Cyclizar.

Orthworm: Gosh I love this silly looking guy so much but half the fun is when it’s that giant Titan sized one and unless Ash gets that giant goober what’s the point???

Glimmet-Glimmora: Another one I really don’t picture Ash having for his own.

Greavard-Houndstone: No I don’t see it. I actually picture this Pokémon to be more evolved in a special episode with Ryme that goes into her backstory rather than Ash getting one.

Flamigo: Gosh I want it. I find the idea so funny! And I think Ash could actually work well with one of these guys. Just….the idea of Ash going around with what is basically a fucking flamingo 😂😂😂

Cetoddle-Cetitan: This is yet another one of those 50/50 “can’t say yes for sure but can’t give it a firm no either” ones. I actually find the idea of Ash getting one cute!

Veluza: Don’t see it.

Dondozo: Another don’t see it.

Tatsugiri: And a third don’t see it, sadly!

Frigibax-Arctibax-Baxcalibur: This is an odd one in that you can make a fair argument in either direction and I’d probably say “yeah I get it” every time.

Gimmighoul-Gholdengo: Ahhh this oddball. Yeah sorry, I cannot imagine it in the slightest.

Annihilape: This is one where it’d be nice to have Ash’s Primeape make a comeback for a potential evolution into Annihilape! And you know what it can be a fun episode of character growth of Primeape centering on whether or not it WILL evolve and what that means for it and its character and all the training it has done so far and will continue to do. Plus I love me those good old evolution drama episodes they make for some good character stuff!

Paldean Wooper-Clodsire: I adore this adorably cuddly fella so much!!!! But hmm I just can’t imagine Ash with one. Like I try to picture it and it just doesn’t come through.

Farigiraf: Not really. I never really could picture Ash with a Girafarig to begin with, so it hasn’t really changed with the evolution.

Dudunsparce: Nah, I don’t see it. I can imagine it showing up in a couple joke episodes though!

Kingambit: You know I like the idea of it. Ash finding a small Pawniard who so desperately wants to become strong but is a tiny fella always pushed around. And Ash helps it to train and prove itself to the other Pawniards. And by the end it proves it has grown but knows it needs to explore more to gain more strength and improve. And how better to do that than by joining up with Ash in his journey to ever grow and improve as a Pokémon Master in the making! And we get to watch the little guy grow over several episodes into Bisharp and finally Kingambit.

Paldean Tauros: You know what I was originally gonna say no because Ash already has his herd of 30 Kantonian Tauros. But I started imagining a fun episode where maybe Ash runs into a Paldean Tauros that, for some reason, doesn’t have its own herd and is having difficulty integrating with another. Maybe Ash tries to help this Tauros bond with various herds over the episode but all failing while also he himself bonds with the Tauros. And maybe Ash at the end is like hey I have a bunch of Tauros of my own and they’re a great bunch would you like to join? And Ash has this Paldean Tauros meet his own 30 Kantonian Tauros and at first it’s like “oh Paldean Tauros has already been rejected so many times what if it happens again?” But then the Tauros happily let the Paldean Tauros join the herd. And fuck man now I’m invested in this 🥹

And yup, that’s all my thoughts on which of the Paldean Pokemon Ash would likely get if we did get a Paldea anime with him!

Yeah I know like 99% of my “no” choices basically just came down to me being unable to imagine Ash with that Pokemon 😅 But I did say my opinions would A) basically come down to that and B) be biased because how can it not be? But like I said earlier I would LOVE to hear any other thoughts, both from those who agree or those who disagree. Whatever, I’m game! It’s a fun little thought exercise, right?

What To Do With Kief From Weed Grinder

If you're like me, don't you get super pumped whenever you grind up some bud and see that magical green dust - kief!? For cannabis lovers, this is a very precious thingThere are so many cool things you can do with your kief besides smoking it immediately. But now you’re wondering…what the hell should I actually do with all this precious stuff?In this post, I’m going to share my favorite methods for dealing with kief that I’ve learned on social media, and hopefully, you’ll also have a better cannabis experience

What is kief?

While pulverizing your marijuana, these trichomes are inevitably set loose from the buds and then fall into the collector below through the mesh screen of your grinder. That’s kief; this is a finely ground powdery substance that contains anything between fifty to eighty percent THC by volume in comparison with plant matter.However, kief goes beyond its psychoactive characteristics. The trichomes contain a lot of helpful compounds such as CBD, CBN, and many types of terpenes. These substances work hand in hand to result in a Unique Feeling that is highly different from a pure THC “high”.Kief can also be pressed into hash or used for making ultra-refined cannabis extracts and concentrates having even higher THC content.

How do you collect kief from a weed grinder?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KD6ec00gmQFor start, get the best grinder design which has more than one part and also ensure that it has a mesh screen so as to separate kief from ground flowers.The screen's pore size is crucial - you want it to be fine enough to catch those valuable trichomes without letting too much plant material through. A 4-piece grinder with a 60-70 micron screen is an excellent option.When grinding your weed, make sure that you do it softly and gently. We will grind your bud as much as possible in order to produce the maximum amount of kief. Flip your grinder upside down and pulse briefly—don’t turn it into a paste by over-grinding. The finer the grind, the more trichomes are released.Now take off all compartments with leftovers of marijuana and find the screen under them. Can you see this golden sticky substance covering all parts of the netting? That is the stash of kief you are collecting! Take a tiny brush and carefully sweep as usual across its screen, let out kief by knocking on top of the storage container.

VAMPIRES + Castlevania

 With the release of the sequel to one of my favourite vampire shows I thought I’d talk about how Vampires and Vampirism plays into goth cultures and the gothic aesthetic.

Starting off with the first appearance of vampirism, in Dracula the famous novel by Bram Stoker which truly paved the way for tons of vampiric content in the future (Castlevania for example, which I’ll get too). Bram Stoker’s Dracula truly shows the essence of vampirism: the edginess, cannibalistic-lite and romanticism of darkness that is ultra present in gothic cultures and gothic literature. Something that at the time was pretty taboo, vampires serving as a gateway to darker fantasies at the time relating to death, the macabre and even ‘taboo topics’ such as homosexuality and gender presentation as a whole.

I tried getting into Dracula the book version but I could never finish it due to how drawn out it was. I must say though that the film version is great, with its presentation of romantic gothic themes and the costuming it serves as such a great adaptation to one of the best stories with Dracula. Below are some photos of the Dracula himself in his outfits. (And also some of the other main characters!)

As times changed and vampirism grew in popularity more stories including vampires were created this is also true for the music aspect. Vampires in gothic music have always been present with one of the first goth songs ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ playing into the 1920s actor Bela Lugosi, playing one of the first on screen appearances of Dracula himself! Bauhaus is able to create great imagery with the song as it plays wonderfully into vampiric archetypes.

After giving a bit of a backstory to vampirism in the media I want to bring up one of my FAVOURITE vampire novels of all time: Interview with a vampire. The way in meshes gothic aesthetics with its fashion and also romanticism of blood and dark themes. Is absolutely wonderful. Anne Rice is able to create such a vivid and well thought out rendition of vampirism; one explicitly tied into the darkness of vampirism, the romantic aspect and also the inherent societal aspect that comes with living forever. The characters themselves battling with the morality and essence of what it means to be a vampire. The act of drinking blood in of itself being debated as moral or  needed. The very fact of dying as a vampire being brought up. IT IS played out wonderfully with Louis and Lestat, both French vampire aristocrats. Not to forget the heavy class implications that come with being a vampire, all these topics play into the gothic aesthetic of death and dark attitudes to life, which play into the music long term. (I definitely recommend the book even if you’re not super into vampires!).

Finally bringing me to one of the newest renditions of vampirism in the media. Castlevania: Nocturne (which just recently came out), a fantastic sequel to the hit series Castlevania. Castlevania as a whole is set in a world with vampires, demons, werewolves and all things dark playing into that obvious gothic aesthetic that runs throughout vampire media. Both series are adapted from the popular game series under the same name. Every rendition is heavily inspired by gothic literature and gothic aesthetics. 

For example, one of the main antagonists in the game series and the show Castlevania being Dracula, the notorious vampire. The series plays into heavy gothic archetypes pulling references from the amazing Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Not to forget, the amazing gothic soundtracks present both in the games and more subtly in the shows, both including heavy undertones of classical gothic inspiration which plays super well into the theme of fighting vampires. 

Castlevania as a series is loosely about vampires and vampire hunters a very simple yet effective concept that’s reinstated within the sequel Castlevania: Nocturne which plays heavily into the games gothic aesthetic and also wonderfully into the revolution period in France. Bringing great historical influences into the gothic trance that comes with vampires. The vampires in this show being mainly of aristocratic decent which can be seen in multiple other forms of vampiric media (Interview with the vampire being one of them lol).  that also play heavily into darker topics of colonization, oppression, etc. Castlevania: Nocturne setting the vampires up as the inherent "other" within the show.

Here are some images below of some of the vampires:

By these images it's easy to see how much gothic aesthetics play into the adaption of these vampires. The darker colours, darker settings, wonderfully done. Truly encapsulating the essence of vampirism even in a French revolution time period.

Here's also some images from some of the original game's artwork by the awesome and talented Ayami Kojima:

As you can see from the images above her artwork ALSO plays heavily into darker more gothic aesthetics with the older fashion relating to gothic Victorian and older gothic French attire which truly sets the scene amazingly for the games itself!

And although I could go on and on about the shows and games (and maybe I will in an upcoming post) I mainly wanted to identify and explain how wonderfully vampires play into the romantic gothic genre of every media! (So I'll cut my ranting short)

Vampires are awesome not only because of their gothic implications but also because they pose so many interesting questions on morality and different societal and class issues that are still prevalent to modern day dilemmas even though vampires aren’t real.

Thank you for taking the time to read over my blog about vampires and my love for them as a whole. They truly are a great species and deserve many more iterations!

Ps: I should mention that ‘Vlad Dracula’ was a real person but for the sake of the blog’s length there’s no reason to mention the historical backgrounds of him. Mainly because I’m only writing about the fictional vampire ‘cases’.

Mister freakazoid has been talking to me….more.

He keeps talking about my lifelong dream of becoming some man’s problem. That’s my new bit. My lifelong dream. I’m digging it

I wonder if I should set some kind of timeline. I typed that out and I was immediately like girl…

But FR like do I really wanna be sitting around texting lol

I guess I don’t have to sit really. But ew I don’t like not knowing! Like you’re basically telling me you like talking to me so uhhhh did you wanna be besties or did you wanna get a move on. We’re not getting younger. I think I’m in a prime stage of life to do this. High key.

I feel like I’m detached enough now to be unbothered by air tendencies. But idk because if it gets sweet it’s gonna be hard to level out…..because then I’ll be like big heart eyes, can’t see shit

BUT I CANTTTTTT

I hate shit like this cause like why am I thinking about it lol high functioning autism.

He’s cute :( but also a difficult personality as I don’t mesh that well with the ultra guarded

Maybe he just doesn’t like me that much lol maybe I’m annoying. Maybe he’s insecure. Idk whatever the case is I’m gonna just roll with it.

It’s not like we’re headed downtown tomorrow like wtf

Actually it worked on try 1.5 (i forgot to set my mesh to ultra lol). Not too bad! I don't have like 30 mods so that probably makes a difference but still.

Alrighty fellas. Here in the year of our lord (Dragon Age) I am finally teaching myself to use frosty mods. I was a daimodder back in the day because it was what my wife (then partner) used and she was there when I got my first gaming pc. Daimods is now abandonware and didn't work even a little bit when I booted up dai for the first time in uhhhh like 7 years, so now I have no choice. Wish me luck!

THEROYALSIMS CINDERELLA GLASS SLIPPER SET

This is a set of 2 shoe items composed of 1 handheld accessory glass slipper and 1 (worn) glass slipper. 

The handheld glass slipper accessory can be found under the rings category. For the (worn) shoe, you will need the original mesh, which you can get here (non-slider version).  This set is designed to be used with my Cinderella Pose Pack.

Thank you so much to @dallasgirl79​, who created the mesh and textures of the original shoe and foot I used for this set. This set would not be possible without their talent and generosity. Also, many thanks to @quiddity-jones​ for their meshes and generous TOU. 

In accordance with DallasGirl and Quiddity's TOUs, I am happy to share this set for free. Should you decide to use these for your future content, please do not re-upload this set behind Early Access or any paywalls. 

A heads-up though, in the past, I've had some issues with transparent clothing and items. Apparently, it was due to my settings. I find that transparent items work best on ultra settings and with laptop mode turned off. 

The items have been tested in my game, but if you come across any issues, please let me know. My inbox is open, just send me a message. 

Click HERE to download. Free via Patreon. 

Thank you to all CC creators whose items I used for the previews, and thank you so much to all my Patrons.

Happy Simming!
