Sunset Valley Car Dealership

~ F A L L ~

Well guys, I’m back with some happy/sad news. I lost my job in Appaloosa Plains (to the Principle’s niece no less) and because of that I’ve had to move. I’m so sad to be leaving my Grandmothers Victorian/Farmhouse behind, especially since I’d spent so much time and heart renovating it just how I liked.

But the good news is I’ve found another job in Winchester as a school teacher. It’s a much smaller school but I think it will be a good change. I’m coming on as a full time teacher and also an administrative aid and I’m hoping that during my time here I can really make a difference. So far I’m loving the small town community vibes here.

I’ve also been able to move into my own little farm here. Complete with garden and a little barn with a studio on top. I don’t paint but maybe I’ll have to start trying. The fall weather is so gorgeous and inspiring. The house needs some updating so I’m currently painting to start. As I make progress I’ll share.

Here’s to my favorite season and some new beginnings. Cheers.

anyone else ever look at all the TS4 to TS2 conversions and get jealous? Lol. I love our TS3 community but seriously wish we had more converters. Also me wanting to start more projects but my giant WIP folder whispering that’s probably not a good idea....

Hey guys!

Sorry I dropped off the radar for the past month, I’ve had some crazy real life stuff going on, like my husband being diagnosed with MS. We are still reeling and just trying to adjust our life and help him to heal and recover.

Because of all that I’m taking a little break here. All conversions and stuff are on pause for a bit. I still have some things in my queue so I might post those if I have time, and pop in here and there when I can.

But truth be told I’m an Enneagram nine who likes to shut down and retreat to my ‘inner world’ aka sims when things get too hard but I am really trying to just show up and be present for my real life, even though it’s overwhelming and hard (and let’s be honest I broke down in tears because never did I ever think I’d be worrying about losing my partner and learning how to cope watching him suffer when I am only 26. That was not on my radar)

So anyway, I hope to return eventually because I have some more Saint Greer builds I was really excited to share and more going on in Hylewood. Not to mention a folder full of half finished conversions. But I need to (force myself to) take a step back and just embrace the season we’re in. Any prayers and love is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

This week I’ve been playing and doing some testing with the Keaton family in Sunset Valley. Decided to use my dk-sims cute wallpapers and some of the new dinosaur prints I made with Poster Loader for the nursery. 

WIPS Update

Hey all 👋🏼 Just popping in to say you’ll see a few things coming up. I have a small collab that should be next, as well as a nice big set that I just need to finish preview pics for. After that I’m thinking I’ll do some mini sets (big sets take a long time! I’m a little burnt out).

Thought it might be fun to leave a little poll and see what kind of CC you guys might like in your game :D 

I’d love if you’d go vote here:

Reblog this if you doing Simblrween for THE SIMS 3!

Because there aren’t many ppl doing it for my game lol I need to know.

So sad because Gshade worked 100% better than reshade ever did for me.

After seeing the rest of the story I get it now (no it’s not malware that infects your computer and steals your credit card, but rather deletes outside add ons and force restarts your computer if those are found. And that forced restart is what’s considered malicious).

Im disappointed in how the gshade dev handled the situation and personally am going to give reshade another try. I don’t like the idea of anyone having the power to add potentially damaging code to a program I use for my side hobby.

Heads up hoes; the GShade dev has gone off the fucking rails and turned the damn program into malware. If you're using it for The Sims, FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, etc, it's a good time to uninstall it, after this recent update.

If the program detects it has been modified in any sort of way, it reboots your PC.

~F A L L ~  So beyond thrilled at how the office remodel came out! I love this space!  The white shiplap in this room is such a dream come true for me. I love having such a lot of storage so that I have such a clean slate to grade papers and write books on.

I’m happy to report another friend came all the way to Winchester to visit me! Matt! He was supposed to come to help me pick apples but instead, he just hid behind his little camera. Oh well. Glad for the company even if it was just me picking apples. My plan is to send him lots of pictures of apple pie later to get  back at him.
