I have some important changes coming to way the townies will be shared. Here's what to expect! It's a lot, but don't worry: we're not stopping any time soon.
What's New
✨ Version 2 Townies — The main announcement! New, expanded makeovers for existing townies in order to incorporate new CAS features, such as romance options and eyelashes. There will be new and familiar faces in the households. Most sims will get new appearances, wardrobes, and additional traits.
✨ Moving To the Main Blog — After much thought, I've decided to move the townie posts to my main blog @m0ckest which I'll encourage you now to follow if you want to keep up with the townies. Feel free to unfollow the original blog @erehwontownies, as new Version 2 Townies will be posted directly on @m0ckest. @erehwontownies will be deleted when I've caught up with all the existing makeovers. A download archive to the old makeovers will be available.
Post Format — Sims in preview pictures will now be shown with the CC skin details I use. Downloads will remain CC-free and available on the gallery, simfileshare, & patreon. Most household descriptions will be re-written and sims will now have short individual biographies in the post. (My picture-editing skills have also improved lol.)
Bulk Downloads — Been meaning to do this for a long time! They'll be available by world.
Future Plans
Save File — There's a long way to go before we arrive here and I haven't worked out exactly how I want to execute it, but the townies will eventually be incorporated into their own save file with relationships and clubs for easy use.
Questions?
Feel free to send me an ask/message on my main blog @m0ckest!
I've had so much fun sharing my townie makeovers and it brings me joy to see other people interested in them. Thank you, as always, for hanging out with me and I'm excited for the new chapter of Erehwon Townies! Love y'all! 🥰
As the longtime leader of the Moonwood Collective, disciplined Kristopher has saved many displaced werewolves including the once half-feral Lily & lost Jacob (who bears the same calm, intense soul as his adoptive father). After Kristopher's wild-hearted adopted child Rory separated to run her own pack, he & the herbalist Lily have been guiding Jacob to become a strong, self-sufficient leader for the Collective in his wake. How will sociable Jacob lead the pack?
Vanilla makeover of the premade Volkov household in Moonwood Mill.
Includes one of each outfit, hand-picked preferences, skills, careers, and more. CC skin details used in the preview pics but sim downloads are CC-free. Available on the gallery at m0ckest or tray files below.

Kristopher Volkov
The unofficial mayor of Moonwood Mill and leader of the Moonwood Collective, a werewolf pack that believes in self control in the face of fury-based urges. To honor his mother, he wishes to see her self-sufficient community continue to thrive under his adopted son Jacob. While supportive of his other adopted child Rory, he fears that she will cross a line. Beside balancing books and acting as a spokesperson, he finds joy in making kombucha and fulfilling orders as a reliable freelance craftsman.
Jacob Volkov
A friendly young pacifist who takes his future role as pack leader seriously but is feeling the mounting pressure. His unwavering loyalty to the man who saved him motivates him to work toward 'the best version' of himself, but sometimes he feels like an imposter putting on an act. While creating meals in the kitchen is his passion, he finds his vegetarian cooking at odds with the other werewolves' dietary preferences. He's grateful to have Lily who shares her knowledge of the forest's bounty.
Lily Zhu
A cheery but jumpy herbalist who distributes various remedies, including the werebies cure. Since Kristopher guided her away from nearly becoming fully feral, Lily uses her close connection with the earth to forage and create mixtures. Even though her achy body has been alive for many years past her time, she does not cure her own lycanthropy in hopes to have time to rekindle the childhood bond she had with her cousins. In the meantime, she adores cooking with Jacob and caring for the locals.
Zlatana arrived in Moonwood Mill with no belongings or simoleons to find a community with open arms. In the time since, she's established her place as the handy get-it-done neighbor, helping with everything from bicycle repairs to building maintenance. She's expressive and open, sharing her hospitality with everyone—which is why folks become curious when she's tight-lipped about her previous life. Will Zlatana's mysterious past follow her to her new safe haven?
Vanilla household of original sims in Moonwood Mill, made to live in Cabin B of the Grimtooth Cabins.
Includes one of each outfit, hand-picked preferences, skills, careers, and more. CC skin details used in the preview pics but sim downloads are CC-free. Available on the gallery at m0ckest or tray files below.

Zlatana Brankovic
A young, pregnant Zlatana once took time to repair a family's broken-down truck outside Windenburg. They repaid the favor by taking her to their remote community: Moonwood Mill. Years later, she's a staple resident for her ability to fix near anything. Her hospitality knows no bounds amongst her neighbors. Openly and loudly emotional, her bellowing laugh can be heard across the river. Very little is private to her, except for details of her life before—a grave no one needs to be digging.
Boris Brankovic
Born in Moonwood Mill, Boris's little life has been defined by tree-climbing, mud castles, and watching the adults occasionally transform into werewolves to go hunting. He loves zooming through the trees while pretending he's a big, bad wolf like his mom. He and his mother are rarely indoors, and he's always covered in leaves and scuff marks. When he grows up, he wants to learn how to drive one of the big eighteen-wheelers that he often sees speeding down the highway. Hoooonk hoooonk!
Solitary Olive opened her doors to her niece after a long string of deaths. She doesn't pay the teen much mind and spends most of her time digging in her flower garden. Cynical Ophelia takes advantage of her independence to lead a garage band and stay out late, but she's starting to notice spooky happenings that are prompting her to investigate. Have Auntie Olive's former husbands truly been victims of untimely passings, or are the rumors of her role in their deaths true?
Vanilla makeover of the Specter household from EA's gallery (originally from TS2).

Olive Specter
Maybe it's a curse. Olive's bad luck seemed to start when her first love and ex-fiancé abandoned her at the altar. Various freak accidents would later take each of her husbands. Rumor says she tracked down the Grim Reaper to tell him off but ultimately fell in love. Other rumors say she mothered his son who now lives elsewhere. Becoming more reclusive as the years pass, she's often found organizing and re-organizing her garden layout, talking to herself, and reading books alone in her room.
Ophelia Nigmos
Since moving in with her aunt, Ophelia has enjoyed doing whatever she wants. She practices with her band, sneaks into her boyfriend Johnny's room in the middle of the night, and smokes with her older coworkers in the parking lot after her shift at the drive-thru. Her friends make fun of her constant cover-up theories, but she's been noticing some strange sights and sounds around Olive's home that have her thinking that the spirits on her aunt's property aren't resting so peacefully after all.
Brom Nigmos
Ophelia adopted Brom as her own after he wouldn't stop approaching her in her aunt's yard. Little does she know that Brom has lived as an outdoor cat near Olive's house for years and knows all of her secrets—all of them. Fortunately for Olive, he'd rather chat about his day and have a nap than participate in blackmail.

The Goths have a long history dating back to the Old Country as a dreary yet influential family. Imaginative but shy, Cassandra's dreams of musical fame feel undistinguished next to her elegant stylist mother, charming entomologist/writer father, intelligent younger brother, and her aristocratic grandparents. Even with the boundless support of her family, will she find the confidence to make a name for herself or will she shrink away from the pressure?
Vanilla makeover of the premade Goth family in Willow Creek, including the additions of Cornelia & Gunther Goth as well as their cats Hecuba & Menelaus.
Includes one of each outfit, hand-picked preferences, skills, careers, and more. CC skin details used in the preview pics but sim downloads are CC-free. Available on the gallery at m0ckest or tray files below.

Bella Goth
A graceful and compassionate woman who owns a personal styling agency with a devoted clientele among the wealthy and famous. She's a supportive—though sometimes disengaged—mother who passionately loves her husband and children. However, she frequently disappears without notice to board flights to her clientele around the world. Life is beautiful for carefree Bella; it seems to always work out in her favor.
Mortimer Goth
An entomologist known for his fictional writing, particularly his novels heavy with somber insect imagery. Despite the dismal themes of his books, he's inherited his father's personable Old World charm (Bella loves his subtle Transatlantic accent) which wonderfully complements his wife's sociable tendencies. He's extra lenient with his children, partially due to his proclivity of becoming engrossed in insect research or novel-writing for days at a time.
Cassandra Goth
A reserved teen musician who is struggling with the decision to either follow the family's traditional expectations by working toward a professional seat on the Sim City Symphony Orchestra or to break away from the mold and pursue an independent career. Between staying on top of her studies and her after-school job at the local alternative clothing store, she always looks forward to experimenting with music with her more-experienced best friend, Ophelia.
Alexander Goth
An observant and quick-witted bibliomaniac who is already enjoying writing novels like his father—though he has an unexplained inclination toward science fiction stories. As his parents are often busy and his older sister has no interest in his endless extraterrestrial theories, he takes amusement in playing chess against egotistical adults at the park after school as well as playing piano (which he proudly boasts of his sister's exceptional skill).
Cornelia Goth
An aristocratic painter who was the founder of the elite Sim City Bridge Society as well as co-founder of Pleasantview but is more proud of her legacy as Cassandra and Alexander's loving grandmother. They look forward to their weekly afternoon and high tea times where she shares life stories of rebelling as a young socialite in prim and proper circles. She moved to Willow Creek to live her with her son after a fire claimed both her husband and her mansion.
Gunther Goth
A tremendously influential former college dean and town co-founder of Pleasantview from the Old Country. While his persistent community-based work and ability to selflessly compromise with anyone was admirable, he spent many of his years focused on matters outside of his family until he retired and was able to repair his relationship with wife, Cornelia. After perishing in a house fire, he now chooses to give advice to his descendants as well as warn them to avoid his own life mistakes.
Hecuba & Menelaus Goth
A set of twin Siamese cats raised by Cornelia and Gunther. When she's not verbally demanding attention, Hecuba enjoys concocting plans for other ways to get it. She considers herself much smarter than her brother. Menelaus also believes he's smarter than his sister but can't be bothered to move from his spot on the couch to explain why. They enjoy sharing fish cakes served by the butler.
Here's my unofficial announcement that I am working on Version 2 of all of my townie makeovers (@erehwontownies) to incorporate new personality features & CAS items 🩶

Meredith has been noticing her husband acting strange and sneaking out at night—perhaps he's trying to cover something up at the Secret Lab? Or is something else going on?
