#moonwood mill is such a cool world

[pixeldistractions]

When you’re having a peaceful evening in the wilderness under a bright full moon, then you see the eyes in the trees. 😱

Also, I thought I had werewolves turned off in this save, but it looks like I do not!

[itsalwaysdark]

also its so dumb that one of the arguments ppl have against a sims 5 is that theyve already invested too much money into 4. like yes its fucking scummy that ea charges so much for dlc and its Ludicrous the amt sims 4 costs if you have all the dlc and its going to keep getting more and more expensive but . to be honest . why are you paying for sims packs. im sry

Keigo has always dreamed of coming to Searth and living amongst the humans who live there. Having grown up on Batuu, he has come across many different races from across the Simverse, including a few humans. Of all the worlds he’s heard of, Searth sounds the most interesting, the most luscious.

The problem is that his parents refuse to let him leave Batuu. They want him to join the family business and be a good little soldier. That life sounds dreadfully boring and he refuses to just fall in line like a mindless drone. So, one night while his parents slept, he snuck out and stole a spaceship from the docking bay.

He thought he could pilot it easily given how many video games he’s played, but it turned out to be a lot more difficult than his games let on. Why were there so many buttons and levers?! Who thought it was a good idea to NOT label them?? The ship crash-landed in Moonwood Mill. This is not where he was aiming for. Going off the stories he was told, he wanted to go to StrangerVille!

Well, at least he made it to Searth!

The first thing he did was start to explore the immediate area. Nearby sat three portable toilets, covered in graffiti and chained up. His advanced hearing could pick up something coming from within, but it sounded muffled, as if far away.

Upon getting closer, he realized there was a ladder going down into the darkness. His eyes lit up with wonder.

“Humans do not use portable toilets as toilets? They use them as secret entrances, how cool!”

He had always seen pictures of frogs, but he had never gotten to witness them with his own eyes. They were quite cute and he was tempted to take one as a pet. He stopped himself because he knew he didn’t know how to properly care for it, nor did he have any money.

He may not have wanted to land here, but he couldn’t deny that this place was super pretty.

Upon his adventures, he came across an old man fishing. For several minutes, he watched the man closely, taking in every move he made and every breath he took.

The man didn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. Since Keigo could not yet communicate, he found a better-hidden fishing hole. Thankfully, someone had left behind a fishing rod! He picked it up and copied what he saw the man do.

It worked! He caught his very first fish 😀

So, he can only visit other lots once a day until he reaches fitness level 4. Time to get jogging!

He has the same clothes for every outfit but I added a hat, glasses, etc. I believe this is the summer outfit lol

He used his one visit to visit the nearby camp site. There, he was able to wash his hands to get his hygiene up. People kept coming over to talk to him but he could only run away and pretend he didn’t see or hear them.

While fishing, he caught this – a gem seed!

He got it planted quickly because, once it finally grows, it will help out A LOT with money c: Not that he knows how valuable it is. He’ll be quite surprised when it finally grows~

#simblr gratitude day

I'm not shy, but I am hesitant to engage with people because you just never know, but I'm happy to say that, since I've been here, every interaction I've had has been positive.

and simblr is just amazing to me. with so much to see and do, I can hardly articulate all the reasons why, but if I had to pick one thing, it's the people. folks from everywhere, places you know and places you don't, doing their own thing with this swiss army knife of a game.

in particular, there are a handful of people that have had the greatest impact on my time in this community.

@therichantsim, @shesthespinstersimmer, @cinamun, @nightlifeseries, @rainymoodlet - interesting and thought provoking stories that I get to enjoy regardless of whether I'm wearing my reader's hat or writer's hat. sincerely engaging with me when I engage with their stories. and just being cool peeps in general.

@oatberrytea and @kashisun - among other things, being a warm, cheerful presence in the community; worth their weight in gold.

@xldkx and @pictureamoebae - whether they're writing a tutorial themselves or offering links to other resources, they have done so much to help people curate their game experience to suit them. when it comes to the whats and whys of things having anti-gatekeepers like them in the community has made it possible for me to explore more avenues of the game than I had previously considered. And of course their cc and recolors are always a gift.

simblr is such a motley crew... organic gameplayers, challenge survivors, world renovators, architects, fashion houses, storytellers, CAS warriors, cc creators, mod makers, spectators, and more... and I adore you all.

I saved the best for last...

@igotsnothing - a comrade, a cheering section (even when things are keeping me from doing anything to cheer about), a friend, a kindred spirit even. there's a post going around about how all it takes is a word or a brief exchange and then you just click with someone. when I saw it, Igs immediately came to mind. on my dash, I just love their short stories and inspired edits, and I feel like their longer stories belong in an anthology of favorite tropes made just for me. off my dash, they've encouraged me, laughed with me, and talked shop with me. their presence and friendship has truly made simblr an even better place for me. and to think it all started because we both feel that Moonwood Mill is more Appalachia than Pacific Northwest.

my sincerest gratitude to you all 💚💚💚

[sadgirlsimsss]

The worlds I have (almost) completely decorated and populated. I'm aiming to be up to date with all by the time the new pack comes out, on the subject of savefiles, has anyone figured out a fix for the problems caused by cheating sim degrees?

I personally find world snaps so cool because I love seeing the types of lots people use in their game play. I have a lot of cafes/restaurants/rentals and multi-purpose builds because otherwise I never leave my home lot, I use LittleMsSam's live in business mod to have sims living in restaurants and retail stores. I wanted to make the occult worlds more liveable too, so I have Forgotten Hollow loosely based on modern day Salem. Glimmerbrooke is a lot of Victorian builds and chateaus with a placeholder cat cafe that was too cute to just bulldoze for the vibe. Moonwood Mill is basically just the Deadend save file by @florwal builds tweaked for non zombie game play. I renovated the church into a bar based on a nightclub from my home town, and kept everything super run down because that town is basically run by teenage runaways in my save. Please don't miss out on the OG save (18+?) this October though, the vibes are immaculate and the amount of time put into the TOOL landscaping is insane to me.

The Best Neighborhoods in The Sims 4

Ever wondered where your Sims should call home in The Sims 4? I sure have! Those pesky loading screens can be a real pain, so I went on a quest to find the perfect neighborhoods. Whether you're all about rabbit holes, street stalls, or free-range exploration, I've got your back. Here's the list of the best neighborhoods in The Sims 4, considering the activities available outside of the lot boundaries.

1. All Neighborhoods in Henford-on-Bagley - The Ultimate Playground

If you're after the most action without loading screens, Henford-on-Bagley is where it's at. This charming locale is packed with NPCs offering small quests, excellent swimming and fishing spots, and tons of plant and mushroom spawns. In Finchwick, you'll find bustling market stalls and vibrant village fairs. It's a shopper's paradise. In Bramblewood, you can interact with the creature keeper and embark on exciting quests for adventure-seeking Sims.

2. Plumbite Cove, Copperdale

For those of us who want variety without the hassle of loading screens, Plumbite Cove in Copperdale is a dream come true. This neighborhood offers a stunning beach, an amusement park, prime fishing spots, and cool teen hangouts. It almost feels like an open-world experience.

3. Senbamachi, Mt. Komorebi

Senbamachi in Mt. Komorebi is perfect for those who love the great outdoors. With hiking trails, festivals, and plenty of interactive objects, it's a nature lover's delight, especially if you have the Seasons expansion. This neighborhood offers a lovely blend of culture and natural beauty.

4. Moonwood Mill

If you're into all things supernatural like me, you'll love Moonwood Mill. This werewolf-packed world is brimming with semi-open world adventures. From lakeside swimming and fishing to mysterious underground tunnels and the wolf packs' hangouts, it's an action-packed locale. And guess what? You can forage for all sorts of goodies right on your home lot. No more annoying loading screens interrupting your fun!

5. Gibbs Hill, Britechester

Surprisingly, the main neighborhood of the university world in Britechester is bustling with life. There are swimming and fishing spots, occasional street stalls, and a variety of outdoor activities. Whether you're hitting the books or exploring, there's something for every Sim here.

6. Mua Pel'am, Sulani

If you're playing as a merfolk, Mua Pel'am in Sulani is the place to be. It's a natural paradise with fantastic swimming and fishing, scuba diving, and hidden underwater caves. The environmental story progression here is a unique treat. But fair warning, it's a bit secluded, which could be just what you're looking for.

For Occults?

Vampires: Although Forgotten Hollow feels like the natural choice for vampires due to the lack of direct sunlight, the world is super small and boring. Consider Henford-on-Bagley if you have Seasons, as it's often cloudy or rainy. Windenburg is another option for the same reason, however, the neighborhoods in Windenburg do not offer as many open-world gameplay opportunities.

Merfolk: All the neighborhoods I mentioned earlier are perfect for merfolk, with their open swimming areas and enchanting waters.

Witches, Aliens, and Ghosts: Thanks to Glimmerstone and direct teleportation to the magic realm, witches can thrive in any neighborhood without limitations. Aliens and Ghosts have no specific requirements so anywhere is fair game, really.

Werewolves: For those interested in exploring the pack system, Moonwood Mill is the place to be. I wish we, the players, could create and designate our own pack hangouts in any other world though.

What are your ideas? What other neighborhoods - not worlds - do you think are the best places to live in The Sims 4? Share in the comments! Your insights and recommendations are highly valued, and I'm excited to learn from your in-game experiences and discover new, exciting places for our Sims to call home.

On the other side of the world, another former member of a certain military team has arrived at his rental in Sulani. Chase has reasons for being there. Mostly, he misses the sun and warmth he just doesn't get in Moonwood Mill, even in the height of summer.

The moon's hold on Chase feels fairly weak tonight, but when the breeze comes in off the ocean, something else tickles his senses. It feels like magic, smells cool and sweet. Even after all these years his Werewolf senses still sometimes confuse him.

It's late in Sulani time, but his body doesn't know that, so Chase decides to go for a run along the beach. For the most part it's deserted, people retreating into their own homes for the night. And if he unconsciously follows that sparkling scent on the breeze, well. So be it.

The scent gets stronger as Chase goes, and it's glaringly obvious where it's coming from when he comes upon a house. The house of a Spellcaster. He knows not to get too close, not wanting to trigger anything, but the runes are unusual. As is the cauldron in a glassed in room.

(House shell by Misssimreno, remodeled by me)

Unfortunately the resident is nowhere to be seen. And Chase can't very well go up and knock without looking like a crazy person. Instead he pretends he just stopped to stretch before turning back. He'll have to keep an eye on the house to see who resides there.

"Don't let her formidable appearance and dangerous accessories fool you," a social worker had once told a new foster family about their incoming addition. "She's much fiercer." Soledad Sandoval grew up without a trace of her birth family. Abandoned, given up for adoption, and eventually brought up in the foster system, Soledad had to discover herself in the throes of a childhood rife with challenge. Deprived of family and friends, writing would become her focus, her escape, and her passion, before she began sewing and styling.

Upon turning 18 and aging out of the foster system, Soledad's life became a matter of couch surfing and wild punk shows, managing her transition in spaces that encouraged her rebellion and bohemian attitudes even while navigating the loneliness. Curious, she traced down her birth parents, finding her father deceased, and her mother to be a renowned bio-scientist, Dr. Adrienne Sandoval, and showed up at her doorstep in Moonwood Mill. To Soledad's surprise, Adrienne took her daughter in, never questioning her identity nor her appearance. Making a home in Moonwood Mill, Soledad soon met its slew of characters, befriending local bad boy Kojiro Kuroboshi, who quickly began romantically pursuing her. Upon discovery of the towns lycanthropy, Soledad was transformed by Greg, and she found herself subject to the experiments of Adrienne, who studied werewolves with the intention of exposing them, and Soledad found herself without parents once again.

Now one with the moon, and in love with Kojiro, Soledad has found a friend in Jacob Volkov, and a pseudo-family in the Moonwood Collective, despite not being an official pack member. As the town's wolf pack rivalry continues to simmer, she's found herself caught in the crossfires, pressured to take a side; but, instead, the dilemma has become Soledad's greatest inspiration for writing, detailing werewolf politics and tales of raucous nights in the woods. While many see her as Soledad-- solitude, and her loneliness-- those that dare to get closer recognize the warmth that Sol has to offer.

"I'm a cursed bitch. It's not something secret: My curse is knowledge. I see everything that happens around me more clearly than anyone, and I can't think of anything more painful or exhausting, watching the world crumble because no one else has their shit together."

And one final post before I disappear into the mist again...

I've gotten a few questions about making specific hider sets. The only one I have coming down the pipeline is one for the Moonwood Mill world (if I can ever get around to taking photos and writing the post for it - I will try to do it soon). If you want specific items hidden that I haven't included in my sets, please use the tutorial I created. It should be pretty easy (if a wee bit time consuming) to do once you get the hang of it.

And the other thing I've gotten multiple questions about: the great SimFileShare outage of late 2022 - early 2023 ish? It looks to me like all of the mods in question are downloadable again. In case this happens again, I also recently created a Patreon page and am in the process of starting to move my stuff there, too (free of charge, of course).

I'd like to do more posting to CurseForge or ModTheSims, but the amount of detail they require for their moderation/upload process is really more effort than I'm willing to do these days. The more steps I have to take to get something uploaded, the less likely it is to ever see the light of day... which sucks because I've made some really cool things lately that I want to share.

And with that, I think that's all of my unanswered messages addressed if not replied to directly. Whew. Sorry for the spam!

[ambroisebloodlines]

Raegan d'Ambroise

The beginning of my legacy. She's the matriarch of the d'Ambroise Bloodline.

Description

Raegan has dark skin of a cool tone, ashy blonde curly hair, and pale golden brown eyes.

She usually wears sweaters and baggy sweatpants in black, brown and yellow shades. She has a few tattoos, a butterfly on her chest, a flower on her right arm, and a wiccan symbol of a triangle and a circle on the back of her left wrist.

She's black, with a Welsh and French ancestry.

Gallery

Infanthood and Toddlerhood

Raegan never meet her parents or any relatives, she was left at the doors of the local orphanage in Copperdale, where she was raised by the nuns who run it.

She was a calm infant and independent toddler, which made it easier to take care of her compared to the other children in the orphanage. Raegan was particularly close to Nun Enydd, who she saw as a mother figure and with whom she remained close.

Traits as an Infant: Calm. Quirks: Early Riser \ Snuggly Sleeper \ Frequently Sneezes.

Traits as a Toddler: Independent. Quirks: Early Riser \ Loves books \ Wanderer

Despite she was a baby when she was left in the orphanage, no one adopted her, Enydd told her that it was due to strange things happening whenever Raegan cried or laughed, a light bulb flickering or a window shattering, which often scared away those that came to meet her during adoption meetings.

Childhood

When Raegan grew up to a child, she became aware of her situation and what this meant for her future: she had no one to take care of her once she became of age and inevitably had to leave the orphanage. So she started making plans from a young age, first she would study hard and get good grades in order to have the possibility to be accepted in a university, and eventually get a good job to accomplish her dream to buy a house she could call home.

Because Raegan was centered in school, she didn't make a lot of friends, which she didn't mind because she saw all the other children in the orphanage as her friends and family.

Teenhood

Once she became a teen, Raegan got a part-time job, knowing that there were just a few years left before she became of age and had to go into the real world as an independent adult. She worked as a barista and did a few odd jobs on the side, like babysitting and tutoring other students.

Half-way through high school, she meet a boy, whom she developed a crush on, but that quickly ended after she discovered he was a player, dating multiple girls at the same time, and partying almost every night. So she returned to focusing on her grades and saving money.

Young Adulthood

Early Young Adulthood

The time finally came. Regan was a young adult, ready for the university's entrance exam and to join the real world outside the orphanage.

San Myshuno

She moved to the big city, San Myshuno, where she rented a small apartment in the Fashion District, 1313 21 Chic Street, after she was accepted in the Physics department of the Foxbury Institute.

Soon after she finished unpacking, she had the first brush with the supernatural. The ghost of the previous tenant appeared, and while she struggled through university and part-time jobs to pay rent, she had to deal with a pestering ghost that haunted her, luckily she found peace in a new hobby: Painting, which to her surprise came natural to her, earning a few extra simoleons by selling it to art enthusiasts.

Because of her busy and haunted life, she didn't had time to date aside a few hangouts with cute guys or a hookup every other month.

After four intense and stressful years, she graduated with an Ordinary Physics Degree with Honors. Nun Enydd assisted Raegan's graduation and congratulated her for achieving the greatest step to achieve her dreams. Unfortunately, during the celebration, Enydd passed away from old age, happy and proud of what Raegan had achieved.

Moonwood Mill

The following year, after working for FutureSim Lab as a researcher, Raegan was assigned a new project that required her to travel to Moonwood Mill, a small town with barley enough residents to keep it from being a proper ghost town. There were mines full of metals and crystals that would be necessary for the Robotics Department of the FutureSim Lab.

The first few days Raegan worked hard, using the small Research Center of the town, studying and analyzing the materials found in the mines.

An unexpected encounter

One day, while collecting crystal from a mine, she meet Lou Howell, a weird guy who had the odd habit of sniffing the air around him, at first she found strange how Lou seemed to be always where she was, from the mines to the local bar, trying to strike a conversation with her.

After a few weeks of this push-and-pull, she gave in and went on a date with him, as friends, many, many times, finding him endearing and funny despite the occasional outburst of anger he displayed whenever people got too close to him, specially those very pale individuals who she saw only during the nighttime.

Eventually they started officially dating, for the first time in her life, Raegan experienced madly falling in love with someone, and Lou was completely devoted to her, seemingly in tune to her feelings and needs. Deciding she couldn't just leave at the end of her six months research project, Raegan requested to permanently stay in Moonwood Mill's Research Center, which was approved.

They moved in together, combining their savings and buying a small trailer. For a while she spent her days working, enjoying her time with Lou, and some others wondering why her wild boyfriend would be out until the sunrise most nights. But all was better when he suddenly proposed to her, after just one year living together, Raegan was elated and immediately said yes. During this time, she also found interesting books in the local library, discovering more about the supernatural world of the occults, beyond the common knowledge people have.

One night of summer, when the full moon was on its peak, Raegan discovered her fiancée's biggest secret: Lou was a werewolf.

Fueled by the moon, Lou lost control of his fury, and transformed in the middle of the night while he was sleeping, waking her up.

Raegan took this quite badly, running away despite Lou's attempts to explain he wouldn't hurt her and that he was still himself, which to Raegan sounded more like growls.

The next day she found the courage to go back to their small trailer, and she found him there, sleeping in their now destroyed bed. After he woke up, catching her scent, they talked, and talked, and then talked a bit more. Lou explained how he became a werewolf, and how she made him believe he could be a better man than the wild beast his former pack tried to shape him into.

It took a couple years, but Raegan eventually became comfortable around him, even finding endearing the young werewolf.

2. Windenburg

Half a year after her acceptance of Lou's nature and her growing knowledge of the supernatural world, she tied the knot and married Lou right before moving to Windenburg, where she discovered she was pregnant with their first child, Lyall.

Thanks to their combined efforts, they saved enough money to buy a house, that although it was small, the land around it was big enough to build and expand for their growing family.

After a lot of consideration, Raegan put her career on hold to raise Lyall; it was unknown if their baby was a werewolf or a human, since Lou was bitten and transformed into a werewolf, not born as one.

To kill time during Lyall's naps, she started painting again, pleased that she still had that artistic touch, she challenged herself to make each painting more intricate and detailed than the last one, selling them to museums and private collectors, who described her art as bewitchingly beautiful, adding more to their savings. So did the garden she grew after remembering the encounter Lou had with a vampire the night he was bitten, she wanted to brew healing potions for him, Raegan had no magic of her own, but she could still use the magical properties of ingredients to achieve it. Some herbs and fruits, she used, and others were sold to spellcasters or other portioners like her.

Updates pending...

Trivia

[wolfsbanemanor]

What is Forgotten Hollow Like?

The part we see, the part centered around a town square (or, really, rhombus...likely meant to emulate either a plumbob or the lid of an old-fashioned coffin), is only a fraction of the town, and Vlad and the Vatores are only a tiny handful of its residents. (I don't believe Sims listed as "homeless" or "not currently in world" are actually homeless unless specified; I believe they live in a rabbithole, or one of the "set-dressing" homes/buildings in a given world, and Forgotten Hollow is no different.) We know this because Vlad mentions (in his diary) a duel with Caleb at "high moon." What the significance of that was, back in the days before TV and TikTok and whatnot, if you wanted everyone to see it, you'd hold it at high noon in a public place. (Or "moon," in this case, which I'm assuming is midnight.) In other words, Vlad humiliated Caleb in front of the entire community. Well, that's great, but it only works if there's an entire community to humiliate Caleb in front of.

It's often cool, except for a relatively brief period during the summer, when heatwaves are common. And even in the summer, the sun sets earlier and rises later. It's also quite humid, as fog is common. It's likely a lot of the homes there have mold issues and frequent visits from spiders. And most residents, if they have TV at all, rely on cable or streaming via cable/fiber broadband, because satellite and antenna are simply not reliable, between the mountains that form the hollow it's nestled in, and the fog and drizzle.

There's a pond full of fish and other aquatic life, including the rare and elusive vampire squid. However, the fishing there is not as good as it is in, say, Sulani or Brindleton Bay.

Bloodfruit trees do grow wild there, as well, and may be cultivated. However, the fruits are usually more useful as a snack or a supplement to actual feeding on human/otherwise sapient Sims, than they are as a replacement. In general, the soil is not particularly great, and only a relative few plants (including the bloodfruit trees) really thrive there. Wild garlic can be found, as can wolfsbane, and even a carnivorous plant (the Sixam Mosquito Trap). Old-growth forest surrounds the town as well, and has likely been there since before Vlad and his settling party were attacked some 200-odd years ago.

Forgotten Hollow is in fairly close proximity to other Sim worlds, enough so that plenty of "normal" Sims just casually enter the central park to play chess, or chit-chat (and serve as easy prey for vampires). There's even a little bathroom in the park, which obviously isn't for vampires (who, although they can still pee and poop, don't have to do so in the way that most other kinds of Sims do). Moonwood Mill is just over one of the bridges, and its residents can be heard in the distance. It's likely that Moonwood Mill, Glimmerbrook, and Forgotten Hollow are all clustered together, and they are likely in close proximity to Evergreen Harbor and to Granite Falls, as well.

Occasionally, non-vampire Sims do take up residence there, like the yuppie couple from the city (San Myshuno?) who didn't quite realize what they were getting themselves into when they moved into the Garliclauter house. They tried to make it work, but they beat a hasty retreat when they couldn't take the neighbors visiting anymore.

Royalty and the Moon

It is common for the full moon to be an event among the royal families, but why is that? Most royalty have lineage from the planet Sixam, where the distant moon comes into view once every ten years, making it a reason to celebrate. On Earth, the moon is always visible and nearby, but becomes a full moon once a month. Since the first King of Seindu back in Generation 2, it has become custom to have a moon viewing every month when the moon is full.

Moon viewings have become popular events, and each place on Earth celebrates very differently. Here are some examples of Moon viewings in a royal household from around the world.

Brindleton Bay

The full moon tends to shine over the river and ocean, so families would gather at the river bank or boardwalk with warm food and drinks to watch the moon. The Seindu Family set up a picnic area in the riverside park, filled with snack bars with food depending on the season and weather. The royal family host a gathering for other royals at the palace gardens with light snacks and Champaign. The Moon Garden Party at Brindleton Bay has become a popular event to meet royalty as well as the rich and famous.

Mt. Komorebi

Komorebi previously had moon viewing customs called Otsukimi, held once on the fifteenth day in August when the Autumn Moon was at it's largest and fullest. While Otsukimi is still held as tradition, Komorebi has also adopted monthly moon viewings, with larger public parties held once every four months to celebrate the four seasons. Otherwise, moon viewings are held privately in the home where family come to visit and enjoy a meal together under the full moon. The whole community comes together for the seasonal moon viewings, gathering on the snowy mountain in the winter, the riverside in the spring, the town square in the summer, and in the imperial gardens during the fall. Many tourists visit during these seasonal moon viewings to really get a taste of Komorebi culture.

Forgotten Hollow

While the world tends to hold parties during the full moon, the vampires of the Eighth Bastion have their parties on the New Moon instead. The Darkest Night, held each month, is when vampires revel in their strongest powers and dawn their dark forms. Blood wine is consumed, and many of the bolder vampires go hunting for fresh prey to drink. This is also the most popular night for one looking to become a vampire to be turned, as turning into a vampire on The Darkest Night is considered good luck. Various parties are held all through the Hallow, and all are welcome to attend, however the non-vampiric and unprepared might find the gatherings too wild for their liking.

Moonwood Mill

Werewolves are famous for their full body transformations during the full moon, where they lose all rational sense and become beastly monsters. There is no one set tradition for the full moon in Moonwood Mill among the wolf packs. Some hole themselves up in the basement to keep from transforming in the moon's rays. Others embrace their transformations in the deep woods and revel in a night of hunting and animalistic behavior. And there are others who use this opportunity to hunt for the rare Moon Petal, which is said to grow on the highest peak. Regardless, visitors are warned to stay away from the little logging town as the moon waxes full.

Sulani

The peaceful islands of Sulani tend to celebrate the full moon in many ways. There are neighborhood potlucks, luaus, bonfire parties, and fishing tournaments held all through the night until the moon sets. However, everyone in Sulani comes to lay on the beach and moonbathe during the full moon, much like sunbathing during the day. The Sixam aliens have done this to feel close to their ancestral planet far away, while the Sulani natives use it to cool their bodies and restore their natural energy. Depending on which beach those who attend go to, there could be a wild party or a peaceful moonbathing session. In recent years, some locals have started yoga sessions on the beach under the light of the full moon to regain a peaceful mind and positive energy.

Glimmerbrook

The full moon is the popular time for those in the WhiteTree Coven to pilgrimage to the White Tree itself and seek guidance and purified crystals for wands and brooms. Spellcaster magic is at its strongest during the full moon, so it is when the Raven's Roost Academy sets up magic show cases for the public to marvel at. The first Winter Full Moon is also Final Test night for the Academy, while the first Spring Full Moon is Initiation Night into the coven for graduates. While these events are held privately to the coven, a full moon party is held at the base of the mountain lake where everyone can swim and bask in the moon's glow. These parties are popular with teenagers, where all are invited and the celebrations typically don't stop until the sun comes up.

Willow Creek

Ever the connected community where there is no barrier between the people and the royal family, Willow Creek celebrates the full moon together in the central park. The Braieforma family hires or mans booths filled with food, toys, and various mementos as everyone enjoys a massive garden party. The event is popular with families with small children, and the wide open park is deemed safe with everyone watching out for each other. It's said to be the best way for anyone looking to meet those in the Alliance as everyone gathers for these festivals.

Tomorang

The Island of Children has kept it's tradition since olden times where the Mid Autumn Full Moon is celebrated as Children's Day. The Children's Festival is held at the night market where children were bright traditional clothes and carry lanterns in a parade. Families come together to see their children perform dances and sing songs, and the elders cook up entire feasts for the community to enjoy. There are brightly lit floats of lions and dragons, and mooncakes with tiger patterns are given out as good luck presents. While a festive time for family, many communities in Tomorang do not welcome outsiders, or those with no children, to the party.

Many places around the world hold garden parties or festivals around the full moon in similar ways. But the moon has always connected the royal family to their heritage, and the people to the royal family. These parties have been the best way for new royal members to socialize, and even find new friendships or love. The events surrounding the full moon will always remind each and every one of us that we are all under the same sky, sharing the moon that shines down on us as it always has and always will.

I done heh

I done did the simoji challenge by @folkbreeze because I see interesting challenge I do it and I got

So for some reason I saw these emoji and my dumb brain instantly thought of a toxic banana girlie and a grumpy apple boyo so I uh I did that

im pretty sure I needed to do only one sim but I got some other emoji randomised and I wanna do more and what the fuck this is so much fun

Heres babama ladiy Hannah of course I made her clumsy why wouldn't I, I wanted to give her a cowboy hat but I feel like she looks t9o much like Applejack from my little pony if I did that so she's hatless

Her traits with my absolutely perfect quality yep, very good very good not taken on my phone at all haha (god I fucking wish my Internet would one day work)

And here's plant loord abple bouy Axel aha Notice how their names sound a lot like their fruit counterpart heh I did thar on purpius so cool rite he's a silly gardener guy and did I call him the silly gardener guy ph no I'm getting fixated on these two I can tell

my quality being as good as my spelling part 372

I got a praying mantis on mi knee

Oh oh oh ho and and I'm gonna put these two in the world I've been building yes somehow my adhd has kept to this project but I still haven't finished oasis falls instead I jumped to Moonwood Mill to move in my Vampire-Werewolf hybrid boy and add some lore heh and then to Forgotten Mill where his father who is a werewolf resides this is all very confusing and it kinda sounds silly but I'm happy

But this does mean that you may also get a house based off these two (and the emojis of course)

Holy SHIT this is fun holy piss I wanna do even more sims with emojis

So about San Sequoia and how I feel about world building.

the world doesn't look promising. It's a fisherman town so I understand there's going to be more landscapes and background objects but nobody is really looking for that; they want gameplay. Me personally I wish it wasn't another San Francisco inspired world but I want more cities. They should've made a world that was inspired by Latin American cities and culture. All we have is Selvadorada like?? That would've been so cool for Selvadorada to have a world close to it.

Like for example These worlds are close to each other to create an immersive gameplay (NOTE: This is my personal world map):

WC, Newcrest, MP- Southern USA

BB and SM- Northeastern USA

OS,DSV,SV,Copperdale- Southwestern USA

GF,EH,Glimmerbrook- Pacific Northwest USA

Britechester,WB, HoB, Tartosa, FH- Western Europe

However these worlds stand by themselves:

Sulani- Hawaii

Moonwood Mill- Canada

Selvadorada- South America

Mt. Komorebi- Japan

Hell, Tartosa is based on the Mediterranean. There are 22 countries there.

I'm just tired of North American towns and cities. They want diversity when it comes to food and townies but not location. I want more well-rounded world building. With more worlds that tie into each other, then the other packs would be more useful and fun to play in. The Sims developers need to take the risk in making other worlds instead of the same US and European worlds.

Vampire vs. werewolf home

Hi, my fellow simmers! ♡

Today I’m sharing my fourth Sims build built in the new, Sims 4 Werewolves, Moonwood mill world. Btw this is the first time I've been using Sims 4 custom content with this pack as well. 

The idea was to put a vampire and a werewolf live next to each other as neighbors so we can see what might happen? 

For the vampire house, I went for a more classic, Victorian style, and for the werewolf's house, I went with the cool industrial style.     

These houses are built in Moonwood Mill (The Sims 4 Werewolves), on the 40x30 lot. They both have 1 double bed bedroom and 1 bathroom. The vampire house also includes a greenhouse and a basement. And for the werewolf's house... It includes a workroom and a garage.
