I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

Chronicles of Izabella Gratz, Part 3

Iza has been working on getting back out there since her last heartbreak. She's gone on a handful of unsuccessful Monday night dates from SimDa. But that all changed when she went out with Akira.

They hit it off pretty well, and spent most of the night cozy and tipsy by the bonfire sharing life stories and getting to know one another.

It went so well that she even kissed Akira while exchanging numbers. The next morning, Akira texted Iza asking for another date.

She said yes, of course. She's never felt this pulled to someone in her life. Since their first date, they've gone out biweekly. They've gone to fancy sit-down dinners, cozy movie viewings, and fun trips to the arcade. As the month progressed, their friendship started to grow right along with the attraction.

In between carting Erik to school and building her relationship with Akira, Iza has been working hard at the firm. Green Pines Land and Conservation Management even promoted her.

Now that she is an equal among her peers, she feels less like a desk jockey and more like a real legal professional.

Make no mistake, relaxation is something Iza is trying to get back to now that her schedule is getting more...filled up. While she does feel fulfilled, fulfillment comes with a hefty price tag: sleepiness.

When she is with Akira though, she feels recharged. She takes on world better, and she feels more like herself than ever before. On a casual date to a local comfort food restaurant, she just straight up asked Akira if he felt the same and if he would commit to an exclusive relationship with her. It came as no shock to her that he was ready for that next step and wanted to be apart of her future.

Iza may have overshot the comment about taking the next step by inviting him over for a quick roll in the hay, but if anything the bond between them is growing stronger. Still, in the back of her mind she can't shake that she may be losing some of her "me time" now that things are more committed. Journaling about it has certainly helped her see that Akira is a good partner, and that she is just a little nervous around trusting someone with her heart again.

Chronicles of Izabella Gratz, Evergreen Harbor Apartment

This is the floor plan. I have not included screenshots of the bathroom because its literally so boring, but everything else is included!

With Iza's new sign on bonus, she's been able to buy some new furniture. She sold most of her old furniture anyway when she moved to Tomarang, and once there she thrifted a majority of the furniture that did not come with the apartment she was renting.

Well, some things just don't go to plan. (Chronicles of Izabella Gratz)

After discovering her high school sweetheart Deacon was cheating on her with her friend Sabrina--Izabella decided a *BIG* change was in order.

She left behind her student housing complex filled with her lifelong pals, dropped out of Tri-Fruhm, and moved to Tomarang on a student exchange program to finish up the last year of her degree. But not without making a stop home first to pick up her cat Monty and her toddler brother Erik (and a bottle of black hair dye).

Over that last year, Iza proved herself on her school's soccer team while remaining dedicated to her law studies. She also has remained steadfast in her decision to distance herself from her mother too. She has only seen her once in the last year, that being during Winterfest when her parents came to Tomarang to celebrate and see how much Erik has grown.

And while she was so focused on getting her school work done, Erik aged up into a child. On a sadder note, he has more memories of Iza and his nanny than his own father and mother. He knows very little about his parents due the distance and the lack of calls because of their busy work schedules as higher-ups in politics and crime. He prefers his older sis Iza anyway. But Izabella is taking great care to make sure he feels loved even if she has a rocky relationship with their parents.

Iza has just completed her degree in Language and Literature with Honors from Ubrite, and has just begun her role as a litigator for a firm located in Evergreen Harbor--worlds away from Tomarang and Ubrite. While she was moving back into Simmerica, she made a stop in San Myshuno for a week long vacation and ran into a former soccer teammate, Lilah MacDonald.

Lilah was NOT shocked to find out that the reason Iza had even left Ubrite on a study abroad program was because of Sabrina and Deacon. She invited her out to a tiny karaoke bar nearby her family's apartment to explain everything. While Lilah's parents watched Erik for a small sum, the two former teammates spent the night talking about the drama in their circles that had happened during her year in Tomarang.

Apart from Deacon and Sabrina actively betraying Iza, the pair had convinced a majority of the old friend group that it was Izabella that was lying about the timeframe between her finding out about the cheating and the breakup. However, Lilah knew through a freshman on the team that Deacon had been seen kissing Sabrina on campus long before the pre-finals final bash party Iza, Lottie, and Rowan (Sabrina's brother), had thrown at the apartment complex that lead to the cheating being discovered.

Lilah sent video proof of them kissing in the old party group chat while Izabella was MIA. Knowing that she had removed herself from the group that night, Iza had no idea anyone was defending her. With that cleared up, Iza was now aware of why most of her old friend group had stopped talking to her and why they all stopped following each other online.

Despite everything, Iza knows one thing to be true: her new life awaits her in Evergreen Harbor.

KSimbleton Simlish Alphabet Letters- Deco items for your sims

Hey Guys! 

Sharing a set of simlish alphabet deco with you today! These are kind of fun with lots of possibilities. I’ve play-tested these quite a bit, and the only issue I have come up against is that when I placed a stack and then changed wallpaper, half of the stack was deleted. I don’t know why this occured, but after replacing them they stayed put.  

I used my favorite Simlish font which you can get here by SIMale.

A couple of things to be aware of:

-Use bb.moveobjects cheat to place. 

-It can be a little annoying when placing the letters right next to each other, because they want to snap to the adjacent letter. Alt-dragging sometimes helps this problem. Also try placing with OMSPs. 

There are 2 versions - one that has slots so that they can be stacked, and one that doesn’t have slots. Pick the one you prefer. It is possible to have both sets installed at the same time, but don’t come to me cryin’ when you get confused….

Love Ya’ll!

Enjoy and Happy Simming!

Personal Record: July 14, 2024!

I'm most likely going to have to restart my Alvania Falls save due to unforeseen file corruption pertaining to Srsly's blank save. I've recently re-opened the file after not touching it for a few months. I'm trying to download as many lots as possible, but the save file is prone to crashing.

At least I learned a lot from building in the original file. For now, I'm just going to empty a new save myself and hope for the best. Also, I'm deciding to change which worlds will be included in the save file, and I'm limiting CC and packs for my own sake.

Custom Basegame Styled Looks 📖 Index

Over the last year I have been working on custom basegame styled looks based on this tutorial provided by @mizoreyukii. As the BG looks are now finished for all age groups, I made an index to link all of my posts in one place.

All styled looks apply without overriding the make-up (or lack of) on your sims. This is by design, since I have been always bothered by how EAs looks apply the most unsuitable make-up on sims.

BG Styled Looks (F) [32 looks, 127 swatches]

BG Styled Looks (M) [31 looks, 135 swatches]

BG Styled Looks (Adult & Elder Pack, F) [24 looks, 81 swatches]

BG Styled Looks (Adult & Elder Pack, M) [22 looks, 77 swatches]

BG Styled Looks - Kids [49 looks, 252 swatches]

BG Styled Looks - Toddlers [25 looks, 136 swatches]

Fix for Unlockable CAS Items

Add-Ons: Fix for Removing Shoes and Tops & Undresser for All Age Groups

In the above posts you will find additional information, an overview of all looks included and individual download links. You can, however, also download the respective files from my SFS folder.

I also recommend to use the Hider Mod for EAs Styled Looks by MizoreYukii, if you're not interested in EAs Styled looks. Otherwise, the custom looks will be at the end of a very long list of EAs styled looks.

TS4: Animated Aquarium 🐟🐠

Sul sul ^^

I know a lot of you like kawaii items ^^

It's been a while since I posted something like this.

I've seen a similar item all over social media, and I thought it's pretty cute. So why not bring it to TS4? :)

ABOUT THIS ITEM:

🐟 It's a decorative item, base game compatible, and there are 22 swatches.

🐠 It'll scroll forever. I also made the "water" mesh part a little wavy, so it gives the sensation of real water/swimming 😉

🐟 Find it on buy mode as "channel4sims - animated aquarium" :)

I hope you'll enjoy it a lot ^^

There are more items coming soon :)

Happy Simming ^^

Culpepper House Dingy Apartment Hallway 👻

I decorated the Culpepper House Apartment hallway with T.O.O.L mod by @twistedmexi. This is inspired by @florwalsims's amazing @portsim save file to (attemptly) match the aesthetic.

CC i used here :

Store sign | Small grafitti | Seatable plastic crate | by @ravasheencc

ATM from SNBank by @simrealist

i made some house details for my save and wanted to share them!

what you get:

terracotta garden planter

(bascially the planter from my boho living pack made functional)

house numbers

there’s a lot of house number cc, but none of it was quite *new englandy* enough for my tastes so i made my own

hanging wall flag

flag pole is edited from EA, flag mesh is decimated 3D model from here! i included some random country flags, and there’s also a .PSD so you can edit your own flag in

Simple Window and Doors

I recieved a few asks about the screen door I was using in my house details post. It was an edit of a door by a creator who doesn’t allow mesh edits (whoops), so I decided to re-make it using EA meshes. Again, it’s something I needed for my save that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Basically just a frankenmesh of the Growing Together Window, the High School Years door and the door handle/hinges from the Greenhouse kit.

Comes with a window and 3 door variations (single glass, single screen, glass with opened screen).

let me know if you have any problems!
