Always wanted your sims to live that Hamptons lifestyle? Look no further- Hound's Head in Brindleton Bay is completely renovated to resemble the real life version of this North Haven waterfront home located at 14 On the Bluff, Sag Harbor, New York. The house has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and two half bathrooms, a living room, big open kitchen and family room, formal dining room, fully wooden paneled office/observatory, garage, large unfurnished basement, and a big garden with a pool.

Lot details - Name: Hound's Head Renovated - Type: Residential - World: Brindleton Bay - Location: Hound's Head - Lot size: 64x64

Extra information

Limited pack build- only the Cats and Dogs expansion pack and the free Holiday Celebration pack are used.

CC free.

I playtested the areas which I thought could cause problems. However, the telescope can't be used indoors, I put it in the office because I just like how it looks there.

Enable bb.moveobjects on before placing the lot.

T.O.O.L. mod is used for only a couple of things.

Sims 4 Legend of Kryana, and Story of Redemption

Kryana and King Rolfe

Princess Kryana caused chaos within the kingdoms when she took advantage of and seduced King Rolfe of Lunara. This all happened because his wife, Selene, had denied him access and the ability to love fully. However, after some convincing from his sister Haven, Rolfe decided to tell Selene about the affair, which did not go well. In the aftermath, Selene chose to embark on an adventure with her sister Keana to find the murderer of the Moon Tribe and bring peace to Lunara. This quest was prompted by an attack on Keana’s wedding day by Prince Nicolas.

For more information on above here is information on the adventure:

Princess Calliope was arranged to marry Prince Naveen; however, he was also obligated to marry Princess Elysie, who had her own affairs. This arrangement was made to unite the Kingdoms of Dracu Hollow, Wolfbay, and Lunara at the behest of Queen Tiana of Wolfbay. Not everyone was pleased with this situation. Ultimately, the marriage arrangement with Naveen was dissolved after Tiana’s daughter, Kryana, gave birth to two children from her affair to King Rolfe. As for Elysie, she ended her affair and married Prince Naveen; leaving a broken hearted vampire who caused chaos in the Kingdoms.

Despite the turmoil, Calliope found love with her aunt Keana's bethrove Chief Apono Ellun from the Elven Mood Tribe.

Prince Naveen and Princess Calliope's children married each other, finally uniting the Kingdoms of Wolf Bay, Dracu Hollow, and Lunara.

However, Wolfbay was attacked by the original spellcaster, Cienar, who took control of the region. During the assault, he killed half of the royal family, including Tiana. Kryana's children also died in the process, prompting her to escape to Lunara with her brother, his wife Elysie, and their twins. Cienar aimed to seize Wolfbay in order to gain power to locate his sister.

To win the favor of King Rolfe and Queen Selene, Kryana had to assist Keana throughout the Kingdom and, at one point, saved Selene's life from an attack. During this time, she fell in love with Rolfe's nephew, and they had children together. Selene was overjoyed, knowing that Kryana would no longer attempt to become affectionate towards her husband, as vampires tend to form strong attachments to one person if their blood is particularly appealing. Kryana redeemed herself and restored honor to the Wolf Bday Royal Family.

The spell caster was finally defed by Queen Viva, and with the help of Naveen and Kryana, and was able to unite the Kingdom of Lunara, Wolf Bay, and Darcu hollow.

As celebration, All kingdoms (Dracu Hollow, Wolf Bay, and Lunara) decide to become one and become a all bigger kingdom now called Dracumoon.

Think of this as an introduction to the characters for the teen portion of this generation. I have a lot of these posts the other ones will probably have more of an explanation for each character. ( I forgot to age some of the YA’s to Adults, I’ll fix that in game later.) 

Haven Cortez - 5th generation heir. The “main” character, right now. Age - 16

Bellamy Cortez - 4th generation heir. Mother of Haven, Wyatt, and Savannah. She’s not married to Sawyer, but they act like it. Age - 38

Sawyer Torres - Bellamy’s boyfriend ( I feel like the term partner would fit them better though.) Father of Wyatt and Savannah. Age - 40

Wyatt Torres - Haven’s younger brother. Age - 8

Savannah Torres - Haven’s younger sister. She was born on Christmas day.  Age ¾.

Sampson - The older of the two family dogs.

Delilah - A puppy Bellamy and Sawyer got for Savannah ( and the rest of the family.) for her birthday/Christmas.

Elijah’s character sheet, V20 version! A bit trickier than the V5 version, since the only benefit of Amalgam disciplines did at least mean the V5 one had access to Thaumaturgy and Koldunic Sorcery as well as Dur-An-Ki, haha.

Profile

Concept: InfoSec expert for hire! Hide your dealings from prying hunter eyes! Sweet, compassionate, good kid who also does Crimes and occasionally gets the extremely strong urge to eat bad people.

Age: Born 28 December 1993, Embraced September 2013. Apparent age 19, actual age 28

Description: 5'6", scrawny and pale, looks perpetually exhausted. Curly black hair, grey-blue eyes. Perpetually bitten nails (they were like that way when he was Embraced and now he's stuck with them!). Usual outfit: skinny jeans, graphic tee, Converses, black choker necklace, oversized red hoodies for days nights.

History: Quiet kid, only child, didn't make too many waves in childhood but was pretty rebellious as a teen and got heavily into hacking and general Computer Crime Shenanigans. Went to uni and started computer science, was not at all academically inclined, dropped out after a year and a half and worked menial jobs to try and survive.

Was Embraced shortly before his 20th birthday in 2013. The Banu Haqim were rapidly increasing their ties to the Camarilla, and the sire, a Dispossessed Sorcerer who neither wanted to join the Camarilla nor bow to Ur-Shulgi halfway across the world, wanted a childe to help build up their personal power. Both Elijah and his sire are fairly young, never lived under the Tremere curse, have never been to the Middle East, and have no connection to Banu Haqim culture in general. However, his sire was ambitious and knew that power was the best way to stay alive, and when they tracked down a Banu Haqim elder in torpor, they ‘encouraged' Elijah to diablerise her (this sire, incidentally, is a diablerist as well).

This was deeply traumatic for the poor kid (it was only a year or two after his Embrace, and he picked up a derangement in the process) and he promptly cut contact with his sire, even if it hurt him greatly to do so. He just… did not want to deal with them. Has spent the last 5-6 years working in information security for people wanting to avoid hunter detection, and trying to expand his knowledge of blood sorcery. Would want to find another Banu Haqim Sorcerer to teach him more Dur-An-Ki, or even learn Thaumaturgy from - ugh - a Tremere.

Personality: Still a genuinely sweet kid who likes! helping people! and so the Humanity hit from the diablerie wasn't too bad, really, and it helps that he felt hideously guilty and traumatised from it. Very very strong moral code - protect people from exploitative institutions and people, even if that means he occasionally gets the extremely strong urge to eat bad people, which he also doesn't want to do because he would rather not like any more souls in his head. Quiet and melancholy, but he can put on a pleasant and calm facade. Can get extremely impatient with himself and doesn't tolerate making mistakes (both for himself and sometimes with others), and is very frustrated with his existence as, well, a blood-sucking parasite. Still craves closeness to others and can be a bit promiscuous, although due to his derangement (see above), he tries to avoid drinking from them at all costs.

Goals: Stay alive. Don't eat anyone (unless they really, really deserve it). Learn Koldunic Sorcery (Path of Fire, Spirit) and Thaumaturgy (Technomancy and Hacktivist paths, level 2 rituals Seal Egress and Deny the Intruder).

Allies & Contacts: One contact - Jackson Lucas, bored employee at Red Cross that Elijah occasionally hooks up with. Slips Elijah blood bags that are about to expire and be thrown out.

Gear & Equipment: Sunbag (lightproof sleeping bag). Beaten-up backpack containing laptop, spare chargers, smartphone (used as emergency computer, not connected to anything), flip phone and spare prepaid SIMs, blank USBs, those USB things with prepaid internet on them, hacked Kindle with blood sorcery grimoires (Dur-An-Ki and Quietus, Thaumaturgy, Koldunic sorcery), basic ritual kit (small knife, lighter, metal, glass, and silicone containers, tea lights, amulets and charms), water bottle (kept mostly full) and muesli bar for sake of appearance.

Haven: Rental apartment in cheap area of town. Blinds not actually lightproof in living room, better in bedroom - still, ‘bed' is for show, has actual sleeping space in wardrobe (his actual clothes are in the pantry in the kitchen). Keeps an emergency sports bag with clothes, mini ritual kit, smartphone, flip phone and prepaid SIM, and chargers under the bed.

[halfthealphabet]

@greygullhaven and @lawlessferalgay tagged me both but on different blogs lol so here it is

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

49

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

50,094 (I write a lot of short fics lol)

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

9 fandoms (ish). Kingkiller Chronicle (27), Haven (16), and then one or two for Hamilton (both crossover), Leverage (also a crossover), Cloak ad Dagger, a retelling of Bluebeard, Red, White, and Royal Blue, and Legacies.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A recount of Rio fro Red, White, and Royal Blue, where Alex and Henry tell their friends what happened in Rio when they first met. Very funny and I frequently forget I write it lol.

You can break my heart from Cloak and Dagger, a to all the boys au I never finished and have very few comments on oops.

kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight from Haven, an alternate scene in Fear and Loathing if Duke had offered to hook up with Nathan instead of rando girls.

Old Friends from Kingkiller Chronicle for Kote and Tempi, a ship I have very little investment in and is super super short but people love it??

an eventful morning from Haven, smut for the threegulls and it's light and fluffy and a little funny.

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

a lot of my kkc fic gets super angsty cause there is a lot of like, character analysis in fic form, but There's a part I can't tell takes the cake and I cried writing it. it's about denna and her patron and domestic abuse. it was stuck in my head and I had to get it out. (but also wow there is a lot of angst in my fics???? @ me please explain).

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

I'm partial to A life without you is empty, even tho I don't care about Timeless at all anymore, it had the part in the ending that was important to me, which is Lucy saving Amy because sisters are important, okay? But Good Morning from kkc is also super sweet because sim and fela are my darlings.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you've written?

yes, kingkilller chronicle and leverage, as well as kingkiller chronicle and hamilton. yes, I do have a problem, thank you for noticing. one day, I'll write a kkc and haven crossover, I'm sure

8. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I shock myself by saying yes to this, not even fics with smut, just straight up smut. as to what kind? i have no clue.

9. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

usually, unless I get super distracted, it just feels kind.

10. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

not yet, but I write for unpopular fandoms so *shrug*

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not as far as I know

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no, never gotten around to it. tried to once but it fell through in high school

14. What's your all time favourite ship?

Parker x Hardison (Leverage) (I do enjoy the ot3, but Parker and Hardison have my heart), Tandy x Tyrone (Cloak and Dagger), and Audrey x Nathan x Duke (Haven) (they are addictive)

15. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

. . . I have several *hides behind table*

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have been told when I write for kkc, I sound like pat rothfuss, which like, WHOA. like, more than once, and that's an amazing compliment to me. I'm trying to carry that style over to other fandoms, but I usually prefer writing dialogue heavy with little description, or actively describing someone's feelings and nothing else for like two solid pages.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

describing setting is a huge one but whatever lol

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

only French if @logarithmicpanda has approved it (I have heard them talk so much about terrible translations in published books, I would not be comfortable doing it), but I probably wouldn't tbh. there has been no need so far.

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

before I published fic online, Stargirl in grade school and Half Resurrection Blues in college were both fics I handed in for grades lol. the first one was from Cinnamon the rat's pov and the second was Carlos going to therapy cause I think I'm funny. on ao3, kingkiller chronicle.

20. What's your favourite fic you've written?

hm. I really am not sure. maybe Blue and Red

tagging @nbvethbrenatto @coat-the-boneless @iamtheholyghost @bisexualshakespeare @cookiedoughmeagain @serendipityxxi and idk anyone else who sees this and wants to!!

[solstice-sims]

List 5 facts about your favourite sim, and send this to 10 people whose sims you adore! ❤️

First off, THANK YOU, I love your account sm T.T♥ 

I'm sure you guys all know that Emeric is, like, my sim child. I love him with my whole heart, and he's been through a lot.

EMERIC SHEEHAN

1) Emeric is half Lakota (mother), half Irish (father).He has two siblings, Haven (younger) and Murphy (older). 

2) He is bisexual (like most of my sims lol), but when I first started posting him on Simstagram, he was mostly closeted/in denial until Chris/ @dirtyims came along. His family was never accepting, besides Haven, and his brother is just a complete asswipe, so it caused a lot of inner conflict for him.

3) Has struggled with an adderall addiction and alcoholism to cope with getting through university, which he thought could help him to gain more respect from his family and friends by actually making it through university and getting a degree.

4) Works at a record store, sold drugs for like 5 minutes until Chris ended up shooting someone and then they were like sike bitch.

5) His story is inspired by my father's Cherokee side of the family, their poverty, bad family ties/issues, and proving that you aren't destined to end up like your parents/bloodlines (hence why the first song on his playlist is Bloodlines by Sleeping with Sirens) like my own father did. 

It's also inspired by the Native American literature classes I took at my university, which showed how many indigenous peoples suffer from (again) poverty, alcoholism, and how the younger generations struggle to connect with spirituality and the customs of their tribe. They just deal with a lot of horrible, incomprehensible suffering that no one deserves to go through, especially not a group of people who had everything ripped away from them. I’m really grateful for the special connection my university has with the Chippewa tribe and for providing professors that are actually educated and passionate about indigenous cultures. I’m not even close to being fully educated myself, but I still appreciate and acknowledge these important cultures and the history regarding them.

ANYWAY, overall, his story is about rising above the obstacles and making his own person despite what everyone expects of him. It’s also about making mistakes and growing from them.

Since I’m mentioning his story, please consider donating to support Native Americans, who are being heavily impacted by COVID-19 right now.

10 Random Questions

Hey there! Still can’t be bothered to deal with the malfunctioning queueing system, but here’s some non-sims stuff that @mrslandgraab tagged me in. Spoiler: I’m not going to tag anyone, mostly because I’m not sure who’s done it already.

1. If you could travel one place in the world where would you travel?

I’ve not been able to get to London in far too long! I keep thinking I should go to a particular shop, park, etc. only to remember that they’re in London and I’m not. I also really want to visit Paris again within the next year and a half because after that I’ll be too old to get into museums for free.

2. What do you do in your free time away from sims?

Same as everyone else, apparently: Play other video games and D&D! I also do watercolour paintings and write poetry on occasion. And I just started doing collages again and it’s very frustrating that I’m not very good at it (yet).

3. What other games do you play besides the sims?

Mostly Fallout (3, NV, 4, 76 and recently Shelter) and sometimes the free games from Epic Games. Honourable mention to The Last Door which I replay in its entirety about once a year because it’s fantastic. 

4. How tall are you?

Not very. I’m just under 1.60 m which, according to Google, is about  5' 3".

5. One random interest of yours?

I’ve got a couple small trees on my balcony, and I can’t stop myself from collecting seeds outside to plant when I get home. So I might eventually end up with a whole forest. Does that count as an interest?  If not, then, uuh, unicorns.

6. Current favourite bands or artists?

Not a band or artist, but recently I’ve been watching (and listening to) a lot of musicals, so I guess that sort of counts. Apart from that I’ve been listening to Moes Haven on my last few trips to the supermarket and back.

7. Something you’re looking forward to?

Being rich and famous. Also the day that all my cats finally get along.

8. Current favourite films?

I can’t think of anything at all. I’m kind of bad at films, and whenever I try to think of favourites, I only come up with ones that are either musicals or musical-adjacent.

9.  What food could you not live without?

Pasta. Were it not for pasta, I’d have starved long ago.

10. Favourite series (book or movie series)?

So just looking at my bookshelves, the only proper book series I’ve read are the Vampire Chronicles, the Hitchhiker Trilogy, Harry Potter, and a few other childrens’ series. I’m also going to count Shakespeare’s history plays which are great. As for movies, I can’t think of a single one other than the Sharknado series (which I’m not caught up on, for shame!) (unless The Hollow Crown counts. I don’t even like it all that much, I just can’t be bothered to reread several plays whenever I miss my boy Henry VI. And now I really, really want to rewatch the whole thing, god damn).

The Sims 4: Keana, the Moon Priestess

Queen Consort Selene discussed with her sister Keana about her future marriage with Chief Apono of the moon elf tribe. This marriage is significant as it will help to rebuild the moon tribe, which suffered a great loss when Keana was a child. During that time, half of their members were murdered by unknown assailants, resulting in the death of Keana's mother. It's worth mentioning that Selene and Keana are half-sisters, sharing the same father but having different mothers.

On her wedding day, the king's nephew, Nicolas, sent by his mother to kidnap Q.C Selene in exchange for Keana since she is who Vervana wanted her to find the 9 crystal. Vervana wanted to awaken the original ancestors and obtain their power as well as that of the 9 crystals. Keana was overwhelmed not only from the attack, but from the news that her nephew Thomas was killed, so an energy surge came out of her and killed most of her enemy. Prince Nicolas ran away from the scene.

7 days later, Keana woke up to Q. C. Selene delivering the bad news. When Keana learned what had happened, she was upset.

King Rolfe has a problem of his own as he had to confess to his sister that he had an affair with Princess Kryana, which caused the end of the arranged marriage between Calliope and Prince Naveen, as she was pregnant with his child.

Princess Haven informed her brother that it is best to tell his wife before she found out. He will tell her after the meeting.

King Rolfe, Queen Selene, and Lady Amaris arrived, and Keana was informed of her destiny to be the moon priestess of the Kingdom of Lunara. However, she also learned in the same breath that the one behind everything is the first werewolf and first vampire ancestor, who was released by Vervana.

Keana decided to find answers, and her first step is to visit the Kingdom of Ludan. However, to get there, she would need help from Princess Lyric, as she is the heir to the throne.

King Rolfe confessed his unfaithfulness to the queen. Out of anger, she decided to journey with her sister to Elvenburg to seek her Princess Lyric's help. King Rolfe argued against it, but he had no right to do so, given his unfaithfulness.

So Selene and Keana arrived, but were welcomed by Lady Ana, short for Anadadona. She asked for their help, and in exchange, they requested protection for Princess Lyric at the ball tonight to introduce herself.

That night, the royal family was attacked by one of Verana's minions. As a result, some of the family members were killed or injured. Keana's true power emerged out of distress. Princess Lyric was kept safe and they all traveled to Ludan to seek more answers about Keana's power and how to defeat the first vampire and werewolf.

With the help of the royal family of Ludan, they were able to find their answer to defeat the first vampire and the first werewolf. They found Lord Omar, who is the first werewolf's twin brother. However, Omar not only offered his help but also helped train Keana to control her powers. Omar, behind in his mind, knowing that he is in love with another moon priestess.

Because long ago, before he was put into a deep sleep, he was married to the first moon priestess.

.....

Now, with the help of Prince Naveen and others, Keana was able to use her powers to defeat the following:

Radomir, The first vampire's son and

His wife, Halna, a half vampire and half elven.

Darana, First vampire's daughter.

Keana was finally able to take her vengeance against Prince Nicolas for killing her nephew, P. Thomas, who left a daughter named Scarlet.

As well as Lady Daria, Nicolas mother, who started the co against the royal family of Lunara.

The first vampire, Dracana, and the first werewolf, Omara, went to Vervana for help because they were weakened from the fight with Keana and the others. However, Vervana took advantage of the situation and absorbed their powers in the process, which killed them. This was Vervana's plan all along.

...

Unaware to Vervana, Omar now has a connection to her, given by her sister. Vervana has no control over it and is unaware that Keana and her family now have the upper hand.

Keana, now in her full power, also obtained the past memories of all the moon priestesses. Her feelings towards Omar are a bit confusing since she does not understand herself. For now, she can only focus on finding the chosen one. Omar and Keana travel to Maeria together to find her and the 9 crystals. Queen Consort Selene stayed behind to reconcile with her husband, King Rolfe.

Keana arrives and meets with Viva, the chosen one, and her family. She tells them of her journey and the war to come, and together they set off on a new adventure.

The End

[incorrectkingkillerquotes]

According to Sim at least about "1 student a term cracks under the pressure", so that's 4 people a year, yet we have never seen Kvothe witnessing such incident. Even though that statement gets made multiple times we have yet to encounter a person that serves as a proof. Elodin is arguable crazy but he is still a functioning member of society .

Elodin and Auri are both said to be university students who cracked but both can provide for themselves and neither of them is a threat to society. I don't see why the university would waste public recources on locking harmless weirdos away.

That's a bold assumption I'm making but I think the Haven doesn't hold students who went insane but rather imprisons powerful students that rebel or are deemed "too dangerous" by people in power (the king?) and the university locks said students away and pretends they became insane.

Okay, so first, Kvothe is pretty self involved (and rightly so, he has a lot on his mind and a lot going on in his life) so it’s no wonder we haven’t seen someone break down. I’m pretty sure it’s a fairly large school, and as someone who went to a small school, I did not know half the amount of things that happened at my school. 

As for crazy, well, mental illness has been historically (and currently still, to some extent) misunderstood and mislabeled as not just crazy but dangerous as well, causing them to be locked up. While this is fantasy, it does draw on history and current events for inspiration, and I think the Haven is an apparent part of that. And there are two thoughts that follow that: Either they aren’t dangerous and they are wrongfully locked up or, because they have access to so much power, but aren’t in a state of mind to have proper control over the magic, they are locked up until they have perceived control. I’m inclined to think it is the former. 

As to your last statement. . . I think it is very probable that would be at least a portion of the people there, although probably not all of them. So yes, I think you are onto something, but I also think The Haven is also writing back to how institutions and society treat the mentally ill.
