#random traits challenge

[goblinratcreacher]

Did this fun challenge where I designed a creature with randomized traits! This one's traits were: Land animal, mountain environment, deer-sized, specialist herbivore, produces a substance to feed young, and has external ears. I might have to do more of these challenges, as it was very fun!

Scene Awsten Hair (And some bonus clothes)

While I made hair for Awsten before, I was never satisfied with the shape of the scene hair, and for a long time I felt this base mesh from Backyard Stuff, which I kept thinking was from Cool Kitchen Stuff, for awhile, would be perfect. But the bangs went the wrong way, so I decided to mirror the mesh in Blender, as that is like the only hair related thing I can modify, but then the UV mapping on the back was off, if you wanted to know why I screenshotted a lot of low angles, so I fixed that. And I'm really picky about which direction bangs fall. :)

Due to it being a mesh edit, it should not require any packs, tho due to the UV mapping editing, this hair is just standalone. Not to fret! In case you REALLY want this hair mirrored with the default textures and UV mapping, I made that too.

Pictured above is how Awsten normally treats me in this game. Due to how I made all this hair for him, I am able to have outfits for him and up to 4 different hairs with all different colors. The tricolor I use all the time, red & black for a few specific outfits, blue for just one, and now scene for two. This only matters to me really, but in case you're like me and like your Sims to change hair style and color a lot.

As a bonus, as I'm never gonna get to share these otherwise, I made some shirt and shoe recolors for him, the shoes and long stripes shirt are extra swatches onto vanilla stuff, the striped t-shirt is standalone. I spent like an hour on the damn shoes, I am sharing them. Oh and fingernails too. Those come with a second swatch for Jack, so two swatches. All should be base game. The shoes and tshirt come with extra swatches, the long sleeved shirt just has the one.

i love the sims 3. there is a chance of your infant being mysteriously sent this doll, and if they name it and play with it throughout their toddler years, childhood, and teen years, they can give it a potion as an adult to make it human. and then they can marry it

Meet Eirian Finley-Arcoberry. Diagnosed with communication development delay, little, sunny Eirian may stumble on her words but she sure doesn't stumble on her feet. She does, however, tire easily and breathe a little harder and deeper than normal. Still, she does not fail to put a smile on everyone's faces with her little bursts of energy and laughter everywhere she goes. Her easy temperament has lightened the load on her busy parents' shoulders. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said with her raven-headed twin. . .

And Iliana Finley-Arcoberry. Iliana has always been a cautious child, skeptic of even the lemons her mother likes to force onto her (but she doesn't hesitate to bite her countless sleep-deprived babysitters' fingers). Of the two, she talks a lot more, speaks up quite a bit much, and argues nonsensically with everyone on everything - but that's how it is when your parents are busy and you get left behind with suspicious strangers, you end up wanting more attention, throwing more fits, and crying a lot more to get you both what you want. You become a bit of a fussy child.

Harry’s second birthday marked a milestone in the life of the Carter family, but it also brought with it new challenges as his personality continued to develop. He had grown into a fussy toddler whose favorite hobbies were making mischief and crying for attention, often leaving his parents exhausted. 

Harry loved to wander, as soon as he was set down he would take off, requiring constant vigilance from his parents. His adventurous spirit kept them on their toes, ensuring his safety as he explored the world around him. 

Another aspect of Harry's toddlerhood was his difficulty in waking up. Whether it was morning or just after naptime, he always seemed to rouse from sleep in a grumpy and groggy state, making those initial moments of waking a challenge for his parents. 

Finally, Harry’s picky eating habits presented more challenges. He would toss unwanted food off his high chair, creating quite a mess. The one exception to his selective palate was applesauce, which has been almost his entire diet. 

Despite the trials of parenting a fussy toddler, Rosalie and George cherished their son deeply. They knew that each stage of childhood came with its own unique set of trials, and Harry’s adventurous and spirited nature made the journey both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Even if the only moments of tranquility they found were during his peaceful slumber, they embraced every bit of the joy he brought into their lives.

Eddy, with his emotions on the edge, couldn't contain his anger any longer and unleashed a torrent of words before Helena. "I swear, I can't make heads or tails of what's gotten into that boy. He ought to be grateful for all we've done for him!" he fumed, his frustration palpable. "Sometimes, I reckon it's tempting to take him by the scruff of his neck and give him a good lashing right there in the town square, like a stubborn horse!"

Helena, understanding that Eddy was merely venting his frustrations through harsh words.

As Eddy and Helena made their way out of the kitchen, traversing the dimly lit hall towards their bedroom, Helena's remorseful voice broke the silence. "Perchance, I have not been doing enough…" she spoke softly, her words tinged with regret. "I had hoped his misbehavior would surely improve as he outgrew his infancy."

Eddy let out a weary exhale, his voice laced with a tinge of regret. "No, Dove. This one's on me. Silas, that boy of ours, he's been actin' reckless and irresponsible. Ain't got no grasp of the value of a hard day's toil. It's my fault—I've let him run wild and play without instilling a sense of purpose in him."

Helena, her arm linked with Eddy's, tightened her grip on his hand as the rain relentlessly pelted the roof, creating a symphony of soothing sounds. Rivulets of water ran down the window panes, blurring the outside world.

With a heavy heart, Helena voiced her thoughts, "I had known that raising children would present challenges, but I never fathomed it would be as arduous as this..."

Eddy's brow furrowed deeply as he turned to face Helena, crossing his arms firmly over his chest.

" I've been far too lenient with Silas, lettin' him run wild, Boys, especially when bored, tend to stir up trouble. But I've had enough of it," he said, his tone firm and unwavering.

They stepped into the dimly lit bedroom, the soft glow of a kerosene lamp casting shadows on the worn wooden furniture. Eddy strode purposefully toward his side of the bed, his worn boots creaking on the worn floorboards.

"Come sunrise, Silas is gonna learn the value of hard work on this here farm," Eddy declared, his eyes fixed on Helena. "He's gotta shoulder the responsibilities and understands what it means to be a man in these parts. If he's gonna carry on this land and raise his own kin someday, he's gotta start takin' it seriously."

Helena met his gaze with a resolute nod, her eyes reflecting both agreement and a touch of worry. "You're right, Eddy... "

Helena approached her side of the bed while Eddy, tired from the day's toil, sat on his side of the bed and began removing his mud-stained boots.

"Silas can be as stubborn as a mule, Eddy. What makes you think he'll listen and work as he should? He's been defying us at every twist and turn."

Eddy turned his head to cast a stern gaze over his shoulder as he continued to unbutton his worn-out shirt.

"I ain't about to tolerate no child disrespectin' his own mother. It's high time Silas learns the true meanin' of responsibility and hard work. If he can't step up and do his part, then he'll have to find himself a job elsewhere. I won't stand for idleness under this roof," Eddy proclaimed firmly, his words punctuated by the sound of a boot hitting the wooden floor.

"If I have to, I'll send him straight to reform school."

Helena's heart sank at the thought of sending their only son away, but she knew deep down the reasoning behind it. With a heavy sigh, she settled onto the bed.

As she lay there, Helena clasped her hands together in prayer. "Dear Lord, I beseech thee, to guide Silas onto the right path. Spare us from the painful choice of sending him away. "

Billy Crown

Friend of the world

Outgoing, loyal, kleptomaniac

[grimm-haven]

With two infants in the household, Sol and Gray were busy with both working around shifts that would ensure either of them were at home with the twins. Eirian needed to be held every few minutes or else she'd bawl into tears, so he had to carry her around the house; while Iliana was a fussy child to the core. But these two were angels, well, most of the time. Although Eirian does have a problem with communicating her needs, aside from the holding problem, she was a sweet, sunny baby who was easily impressed by whatever her little hands could hold, so she rarely complained. Iliana, on the other hand, was a bit too cautious, so they couldn't a babysitter she wouldn't bite or cry at. Still, she was lovely and she adored them, her daddy Grayson the most.

Double Wedding 1927 Myrtle & Billy Bjergsen Vinnie & Don Bjergsen

Myrtle and Vinnie shared a wedding and married brothers Billy and Don. With the recent passing of their father, Billy took over the Bjergsens' profitable family business. Don is quite a bit younger than his brother and has no interest in the family business. Rather, he plans to explore Selvadora as an archaeologist. Vinnie was ready for that kind of excitement in her life. Myrtle almost got cold feet before the wedding, but Vinnie reminded her that the Bjergsen family wealth would have her set for life and she'd end up an old maid if she backed out now.
