4t3 Conversion Pierisim OAK HOUSE Part 6 Kids Room

Stargazing

~ S P R I N G ~ 

“Grace, what are you doing out here?” Matt came and stood beside her on the deck railing, as he closed the door the happy chatter of Bible Study grew dim again and the summertime crickets returned.

Gracie let Matt lean next to her and she pointed to the stars. “It’s a meteor show tonight. It doesn’t start ‘til later but I thought I’d see if I could find any shooting stars. Plus it was getting a little stuffy in there. I mean its great that it’s so full,” Gracie began to stammer, not wanting him to get the wrong idea. “I love seeing so many people at our home group, all hungry to learn about Jesus, don’t get me wrong…”

“It’s just a lot of new faces at once right?” He asked gently. Gracie relaxed and nodded “I hear you. Plus it’s so nice out here! Want to sit?” Matt motioned to the ground and Gracie joined him, a respectable space away. They started pointing out constellations and easily chatting as the night grew darker, and slowly the bible study inside emptied of people. “Hey Grace?” “Yeah?”

“Do you know that I like you?” His voice was timid, which was different from his usual cocky confidence.

But Gracie was to focused on the sky to notice. “Yeah, of course. I mean I like being friends too.” “No, I mean I like you silly girl,” Matt said again, realizing she had no clue. He looked deeply at her as her head whipped around to look at him.

“Me?” She squeaked, and then began coughing. Matt laughed and patted her back until she stopped. “I’m flattered, I mean, I guess I hoped, but I just didn’t think I was your type I guess. I thought photographers only dated models? I just…” She stopped as Matt laughed again, and she felt her nervous heart beating fast.

“Well then you be my new model. Grace, you’re beautiful, you’re smart and kind, why wouldn’t you be my type?” “Ha, me a model, yeah right. You need someone fancier, whose idea of  a good Saturday is a day at the spa and a photo shoot on the beach, not a girl like me who spends her day knee deep in dirt in the garden, grading children’s papers and watching movies with her cat.”

“But I love cats!”

Gracie laughed, “Well we’ll have to see if my cat likes you.” “Deal, so if your cat likes me will you go out with me?” Gracie decided to tease, “I mean, I guess, but that’s pretty risky she doesn’t  like a lot of people.” “I’ll take my chances”

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.

Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.

“Grace?”

Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.

“What are you doing Grace?”

It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”

“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.

He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”

She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.

Hylewood Round 1 - Atwood

Part Five

We left off with Sarah at the beginning of her pregnancy, the girls enjoying their summer break and William working on his career. To further his career William invited over local Law Enforcement Officer Ben Johnson and his wife Kate (ironically not pictured here but she is the local photographer you'll see later) for dinner.

The girls really just worked on their skills. Charlotte and Sarah did some painting and Jessica worked on her piano (The Atwoods are the wealthiest family on the Island and I figure they would want their girls to be a bit of over achiever proper ladies)

Soon enough it was time. William and Jessica had a good freak out.

Then the Doctor was called, and also the repair man to fix the dishwasher, while we have a baby in the kitchen because sims.

Welcome to the family Alexander Atwood! (Not sure if I'll stick with the A-Z naming for rotations but Alexander just seemed to fit).

I think William was after all quite glad to have a son and despite his early reservations was super attentive to the new baby.

Time to end their round by posing for a nice picture with Kate Johnson.

Another day, another beautiful house in Rosewood Park.

Inspired to decorated by watching C J Plays on YouTube with his decorating Rosewood series so I wanted to decorate too (just of course had to use way more cc). Going for a coastal cottage kinda vibe.

Thank you to all the cc creators! @gruesim @zoeoe-sims @martassimsbookcc @kerriganhouse @aroundthesims and many others 💕

Sunset Valley Car Dealership

This build was inspired by the just released Sim State Open for Business Mod that will allow you to run you very own business in the Sims 3! I was privileged to be a Mod Tester and decided I wanted to run a car dealership for the sims of Sunset Valley, so Ta-Dah! Here is a fully functional (or a great decorative lot) new Car Dealership for your sims. 

Built on a 30x50 Lot (to replace the Art Gallery in Sunset Valley)  Lot Type: Hangout

Tried to keep it as BG friendly as possible, but I used a few items from different packs below. Packs Used: UN,LN,ST

University: Planters, Office Chairs, Office Desk, Side table Late Night: Counters, Sofa Chairs, Irish Pub Stand Showtime: Barstools

CC Used: 

Around the Sims 3 Grocery Register Savier Seller Version

VKG BSI Square Hedge

Custom Cars from Fresh Prince Creations for TS3 (Exact Cars used in the included CC List)

Download Here: https://simfileshare.net/download/2460670/ Floor Plan and additional photos below the cut :)

Also a few tips for running this lot with Sim State: 1. First swap out the ATS Register with the SimState Register 2. Open your business from the computer on this lot (not your home computer!) 3. Stock up on a few Sloppy Jalopys and the cheap Jeep Wrangler as the sims tend to buy the less/least expensive at first and then the more expensive items help you level up your business fast!  4. Lock the office door with Nraas Go Here (optional but otherwise sims will be hanging out on your office computer all the time :P ) 5. Become a Business Boss! In my tests I was usually able to reach a 5 star business within a week or two of playing (depending on your store hours of course ;) I had a TON of fun as it was sooooo gratifying to watch the Bunch family teens come buy their first car, or the Keaton’s get their “family car”.  Just watch those evil sims *cough*  Claire Ursine *cough* to see if they try to steal anything!

Mason’s Home Updates

Today I’m sharing some home updates. My sweet friend Becca who I visited at the blogging conference is an interior designer and she helped us pick paint colors, and her husband and mine came and tore up walls, put in new floors, and put up trim and paint. I love the new black doors, white trim and finally white windows.    Here are some before and afters!  The Before of the entryway in one word was: Dark! 

I’m so in love with the after. The bench was an antique store find, and I love the half shiplap, half painted walls Becca helped us with. I love all the flowers in this space and it’s so functional for our needs.

Here’s the before of the living room. Can you tell that we bought this house from some elder sims? But now I love how light and bright it is. The fireplace is my favorite and I love how now the center of our home feels so peaceful and inviting. We have also finished the laundry room and downstairs bathroom, so all that’s left is the kitchen/dinning area. But I think the next space I’ll be sharing is my office make over. (Or cute pictures of our animal friends! Speaking of Bella is being her normal self making a mess and photobombing these living room photos!) 

Hope you enjoyed these photos! More to come soon!
