The head wrap swatches have the same patterns and solid colours.
The patterns are from Pixabay and Magnific (Freepik). They shouldn't be AI created, at least they weren't labelled so, but who knows these days.
Someone requested a family portrait that grows with their legacy family. I tried to make it as extensive as I could. Hopefully helpful for your family portraits too!

Clipping sadly is inevitable due to sim bodies/faces being different, or the clothing they wear, but I try my best to fit most of them.

Any issues, let us know. All previews taken in-game. Preview pose by @helgatisha (Right only). There are no official poses for these. Tag us if you make some, and link back here plz. <3
Note: Royal Sword has a phantom "break" across the blade in CAS only. It happens on a couple of these. Something to do with how they were meshed? I could not figure it out, but it looks fine in-game.

The rest will come out as the foster kittens allow. (If we survive.) More stuff here, like, comment, reblog, and have fun.
Man, I miss the Fredericks so much. So on the days when I get SOME free time, I open up Blender to work on poses for them. This pose pack is a collection of family poses, both formal and informal. There are some poses that I made almost a year ago but forgot to share, and there are some that were made recently :D
TOU & Notes
Made with custom rigs, so clippings might happen. Sorry!
You will need the teleport any sim and the pose player mod for the pose to work. You can find them here.
Please don’t claim as yours.
I recommend using Felixandre's Chateau Loveseat for Set 3's poses. Put the teleporters in the middle of the seat! You can find the set here. For Set 1 & Set 4, please use the armchair in the Elegance set from SSTS. For Set 5, please use the ottoman from the Oh So Antique set from SSTS as well. For Set 2, use this fence by thedevilliers :)
The teens were made using adult rigs, but their heights have been shrunk, so there will be a height difference between the teens and the adults.
Do NOT put behind paywalls.
Do NOT reupload.
Maybe tag me if you use it?
If there’s any problem with the poses, DM me so I can fix it :)
Hello dearies, quick tutorial because the fabulous @ruthplaysthesims asked me how I did this in my last chapter, and I realized it might be helpful to share with everyone. Shout out to @thebramblewood and @aheathen-conceivably, who I am pretty sure showed me how to do this the first time around (sorry if my elder millennial brain is remembering this wrong, lol!).
I’m not an actual comic book artist, so if I’m bastardizing some of these terms, I’m sorry! The effect I’m talking about is when you want the panels (individual images or scenes) to overlap on your page. Like this:
A few things before we start:
I’m working in Canva Pro and using the background remover tool; however, you can also create this effect using the polygon lasso tool and masking. I’ve done both, but I think Canva is probably more accessible for most people.
My “pages” are 1080 X 1920 px, and I find I can fit about 3 images comfortably, depending on how I'm layering things.
Do background remover tools technically use AI? I think yes (don't quote me), in the sense that they are artificial intelligence, but they are not genAI. You're not scraping anyone else's writing or art. Back when I first learned Photoshop ::cough cough 20 years ago cough cough:: I was taught to do this with a green screen, lol. TLDR: This kind of digital photo editing tool has been around for a long time. Also, can I be a nerd for five seconds and say check out the Science and Media Museum's digital exhibition on the History of Digital Photo Manipulation? Ok, I'm done, I promise.
1. PLAN IN ADVANCE
Boring, I know, but hear me out. I think of this effect as a narrative tool. It’s great for action sequences, when I want to show off motion, or make the reader feel like a bunch of things are happening all at once. If I have a general idea of which shots will be overlapping, and the order I want them to be in, it’s easier to make sure I’ve framed the main subject correctly so I can make the effect without crying.
Here are the three shots I used for the page above. The first thing I do while taking screenshots is make sure that there is lots of dead (ha) space around the main subject (I have no idea if this is what it’s really called). I think of dead space as any area of the image boring enough that I don’t mind covering it up with something else.
The “boring” part is subjective and mostly based on the vibes of whatever scene I want to create. In this case, I care more about the zombies than the background, so even though that church is pretty eerie, I don’t care about being able to see it.
LAYOUT YOUR IMAGES
The next thing I do is lay these images out while keeping the dead space in mind so I can figure out where and how I want each panel to overlap. Generally, I find I need at least one panel as a base layer that doesn't overlap anything else, or the layout gets too busy and therefore confusing. Usually, it's the first panel on the page, but not always.
Here, I can already see that the dead space for the top two images is on the same side. It’s not “wrong,” but I want this scene to feel like zombies are bursting out of the ground and coming at Wolfgang, Darling, and Morgan from every which way. To fix this, I’m just going to flip the center panel horizontally.
In thinking about my scene, I realized that the zombie ballerina should be walking towards Wolfgang, Darling, and Morgan, not away from them, so later I flipped her too. This is not an exact science! I always end up playing around.
Alright, so next, I position the first two images so they overlap approximately where I want. I’m going to end up with some white space. Don’t worry about it, we’re actually going to need it in a minute.
Once I’ve got the top layer pretty close to where I want it, I resize the image so it fills the white space, and then I duplicate it.
REMOVING THE BACKGROUND
We’re almost done!
If you’re using Canva, you can press the Background Remover button to remove the background of the image you duplicated. As you can see, I ended up with a cutout of your primary subject (zombie butler) that I can use to overlap with zombie grandma.
Sometimes it looks a little off-center or creepy, especially if you moved your mouse while doing it. Don’t worry, that’s an easy fix. The important thing is not to duplicate your image until you’ve resized it, because then you’ve got to be a lot more precise about making the images line up and do a bunch of annoying resizing after the fact.
Next, I’ll just temporarily move the cutout to another area of the image and crop the original image so it’s no longer overlapping zombie grandma. After that, I simply move the top layer in place, make sure it lines up with the OG image, and voila!
You can also do this with the polygon lasso tool if you’re working in a more traditional photo editing program. In this case, you follow all the same steps, but instead of using the background remover, select the polygon lasso tool and use it to isolate the areas of the background you want to mask out. I’m doing this in Behance, but honestly, it should work in most photo editing programs.
It takes a little longer, and you’ve got to do more of the adjusting yourself, but it’s not terrible. I’ve sped this up a smidge, but really, it took me a few minutes. And I’m not super precise about it. The scene is already dark, and the human eye is not going to catch every tiny imperfection.
The rest of the effect is just my own embellishments. I like to add some motion lines and descriptive text. I usually pop in a white line to make the “gutter.” I move it behind the top layer, which makes it sort of feel like the main subject is bursting out of the panel.
You can use this same method to add all sorts of effects. The vampires with their red magic energy? Literally, this exact same process, only I put a haze of red smoke in between the base layer and top layer.
In the 12th May update The Sims 4 introduced a new CAS category dedicated to accessory tops, called Base Layer. This way you no longer have to give up on gloves if your sim wants to wear a CC accessory top. (Originally all my accessory tops and chains were located under the Gloves catalogue so your sim couln't wear them at the same time. Downloading the new updated versions is not a necessity, if you like them located under the gloves section or you haven't updated your game to this patch yet you can ignore this post! ^^ )
After making a poll checking preferences, I decided to make a new, standalone version of my already existing accessory tops and body chains located under this new category. This way you can have the old (gloves) version and new (base layer) version at the same time and I noticed you can even layer two accessories this way hehe but if you no longer need the old gloves category version, you have to manually delete it. The file name changed the following way - I added the BaseLayerUpdate suffix to the original filename. Example:
Trillyke_Superstar_Waist_Chain_Belts.package - old file, located under the Gloves section
Trillyke_Superstar_Waist_Chain_Belts_BaseLayerUpdate.package - new file in this bundle, located under the new base layer catalogue
➤ DOWNLOAD HERE (Patreon, Free)
Accessories like sleeve accessories and arm warmers I didn't touch, I feel they still fit more under the gloves section. Accessory chains however I updated, bodychains will be layered under tops, while waist and belly chains will be layered over clothing, as originally intended. Not on the preview, but I also updated the two male frame accessory tops I made in the past.
The file is a ZIP file containing 38 package files, make sure you unzip it and move everything to your Mods folder! ✨

This dress is a mashup of a @sifix skirt, EA sleeves, and waistcoat by @waxesnostalgic you can nab HERE! (Mesh not required for the dress to work.)
Recolors with the mesh are fine, HOWEVER, out of respect to the creators' whose meshes I used, please give Sifix and WaxesNostalgic credit as well.
i made these originally for my OC DICE (pictured above) but was asked to share them by @astravires so here we are!
what there are: i took the Eco lifestyle Ear stretcher/plugs made them Bg and moved them to body scars so they would work with both earnings and any custom ear preset/accessory, i made 2 vers as you can see and in two sizes small and large
its not perfect it wont work with every single ear mesh but it works with almost all presets and like 90% of the custom ears i have in game here are examples of what they would look like:
acc ears found in: cheek scar - left brow - earnings
acc earnings that come with custom ears
EA ear and cc preset ear (also long earnings)
the possibilities are endless...
before downloading first read my TOU please!
you will get a zip file containing:
4 packages containing the above ear Stretchers/plugs:
Both frame
