Hi! I'm just making a new pinned post. I'm a posemaker and storyteller from the UK and storytelling poses are my particular interest. I reblog on @herecirm-warcry ! My posepack TOU can be read here.

You can either: - follow this tag which contains all my posepacks - browse my Ko-Fi gallery (easier way to find packs, I think) - use my collections on Patreon, which might make it easier to find specific things, but only contains posepacks 100 onwards

I am no longer taking pose commissions.

I do, however, continue to take free requests! You can leave your suggestions here. There is no timescale for these as I only do them when I have the time and motivation to make something.

@ts4-poses (specifically the masterlist) - THE resource for poses @alwaysfreecc - only reblogs CC from 100% free creators! @verycursedstuff - no need to download that CC from CurseForge @thefoxburyinstitute - sooo many superb tutorials available How to convert an object into an accessory video by SimsLife How to make custom rigs with your own Sim's DAE by SnarkyWitch How to make open versions of doors by The Bramblewood

Posemaking tips (old) How to pose animal ears (same deal for cats & dogs) Default EA rigs with key joints pre-locked A non-exhaustive list of free posemakers How to make an all-in-one for poses

You can also find me on BlueSky and Instagram. I have a long-running and increasingly badly written rural fantasy story here.

I'm a free creator but if you'd like to help support me and my work, or just say thank you, then Ko-Fi tips are gratefully received. ❤️

Awkward Pat

I'm trying to offload some of the posepacks I have sitting around on my computer for no reason, so there might be a slight spam this week... this pack is so small and niche it's almost not worth sharing, but as always: I follow the rules of if I had to make it for myself, maybe someone else needs it too 😅

Four poses for a couple walking and talking, with one trying to comfort the other by patting them on the shoulder. There's a very slight height difference.

You will need: - Pose Player - Pose Alignment mod / Teleport Any Sim

Are you a posemaker and want to adjust a pose/extend a posepack? You can read my TOU here.

I'd love to see them used! You can tag me on Bluesky, Instagram, or Tumblr. I repost. ❤️

You can easily browse more of my posepacks using my Ko-Fi gallery, or my collections on Patreon. I've also finally made a Google doc so it's now much easier to send in your free requests and suggestions - you can find that here .

Nova

These are some poses that I started on a while ago because I was inspired by some photos of the Nova Twins I saw (if you're not familiar with them then do yourself a favour and check them out). Unfortunately I really struggle with these kinda poses and, as I didn't actually have any use for them myself, I gave up 😆

But!! With Edgewave starting today (thank you @crazy-hazy-sims for hosting it this year!), I decided to have another go. Pack contains 10 solo poses for use with an electric guitar (I struggled to find a stigmata bass guitar and couldn't be bothered to convert an existing one, sorry Georgia and bassists everywhere).

Important notes: finger/hand sliders will affect the placement of the accessory. Also, some CC shoes will not bend properly for the kneeling poses.

You will need: - Pose Player - Pose Alignment mod / Teleport Any Sim - electric guitar acc

I'm using the Nova hair by @simandy ofc!

Someone Else's OC In My Style (Sort Of) Saxen Smith (@herecirm-warcry

I asked Herecirm if I could hang with Sax for a bit, so here we are! My Dark Magic Reignited poses suit him to the ground.

I tried painting over the hair to add some glow on the hair in Procreate, but I can't paint or draw hair at all, so it looked awful, so that version isn't here. I had fun doing these!

[herecirmsims]

Thank you @southernsimmin for tagging me (20,000 years ago...) in @herzblau 's Luxury & Elegance challenge! I can't measure up to your absolute MASTERPIECE but here's Sax 😂

Technically this is another AU, because one of my sick guilty pleasures is the concept of a Sax who did not hold fast to his morals and instead fell in line with Vlad. It's been a very toxic relationship for the past 300 years, and of course it means that Sax was never there to save any of the people we saw in his cottage, but he does at least have access to Vlad's vast fortune.

Hair | Bag | Dress | Pose

I feel like most everyone has done this now but if anyone sees this and wants to do it, consider this a tag!

[herecirmsims]

Another appreciation post for some of the small or subtle CC items that I really enjoy having in my game (part one here).

Firstly, the temple hair accessory strands by @wotunciba ! I really love how they add just that little bit of extra personality to a hairstyle, and there's so many different versions to play with. The link will also take you to accessory ahoge and extensions which are also super useful!! Such a genius idea!

Next up are @rheallsim 's hairlines - I've actually forgotten whether Sax in the photos above has Whispy or Droll, but I love both AND all their other hairlines! I use them almost exclusively. They're just SO pretty.

While I'm talking about accessory strands, I have to mention @sunivaa 's Polly hair strands which I've used for some time now whenever I want to make Sax look a little disheveled (I'm using v1 in these pictures. I know it's not super clear in the first one as that hairstyle already had a lot of loose strands, but the extra one was very much the cherry on top for me).

Another more subtle detail is the defined hands overlay by @sims4nexus . I'm lazy and didn't go into game to take a with/without comparison, but I really like the way they enhance the hands! I also super like the defined legs overlay too, it's just that I'm a hand fan and tend to take more close-ups of those 😆

@electricwhims made these hairs for me because I was really in need of some masc frame wavy updos for Fen! And they DELIVERED 😍😍 Having a ponytail and bun version is so so useful too. And now you can have them in your game as well!! For free!!! Highly recommend Nugget if you're thinking about commissioning your own 🙏

Glimmerstone Animations

Oki. I made these animations back in February, and was all ready to share them until I encountered an issue and gave up on the whole thing. I know no one likes the blah blah but please read the details below the cut so you know what you're downloading.

This is a regular animation that is used via Pose Player, not a Wicked Whims animation, so the Sim must be equipped with the glimmerstone accessory in CAS.

What This Pack Contains: Three looping animations, all with silent and speaking versions. Two of them involve summoning/banishing the glimmerstone, and the other just rotates it. This one is glitch-free 😅

You will need: - Pose Player - Pose Alignment mod / Teleport Any Sim - glimmerstone acc by @electricwhims (found in left wrist) - any chair for the sitting upright animations, and a chair with arms for the lounging one! I made it with the SimplicitEase base game armchair and it may clip with others.

Download here (always free): SFS | Patreon

@ts4-poses @alwaysfreecc thank you ❤️

More details:

Basically! The 'magic trick' with the glimmerstone accessory is created by sending it away/calling it back very quickly, from a distance. I have this set to the smallest keyframe possible, but sometimes, the way the game renders means it will catch that keyframe and you might see the acc flicker briefly near the floor. After trial and error I got this to where it was a very rare occurrence, but then I tried filming without Gshade for the public release and oh no! Without Gshade almost imperceptibly slowing my laptop, the glitch happened a lot. So I decided it wasn't good enough to share.

...Then I realised that a lot of stuff is paywalled every day that isn't 100% and maybe I, a free creator, can just share the thing I worked really hard on. My video shows how they're supposed to look, I've obviously added transitions between the different video clips but I haven't edited the actual animations themselves! The glow in the last animation is created with Relight!

Ways To Limit The Glitch: + If you have a very powerful computer or if you don't use Gshade/Reshade then the glitch may happen anyway, but I've noticed that it's more likely to occur at the start of the animation, so maybe let it run once or twice first. All the animations are looping so hopefully you will get at least one loop where the game misses that keyframe. + The first animation shown in my video is the most likely to glitch, perhaps because it's much longer than the rest. You can see in my video that even though the acc appears as it should, there's a funny thing happening with shadows. + The glitch almost always appears near to the floor, so you may have to zoom in and just film a profile shot.

can you reblog and tell me which of your ocs has the stupidest name

[herecirmsims]

This was such a fun challenge (when i finally found time for it)! Thank you @disastermage for tagging me!

This is Sax if Fen hadn't persuaded him to let go of the excess magic and leave the in-between at the end of my story. In fact we very nearly had this Sax, because I was (and still am) intrigued by the idea of the characters winning and achieving their goal but 'losing' Sax in the process, and there was potential for a whole other arc to begin... however I decided to stick with the ending I'd already planned, because after 4 years I just didn't have it in me to continue. There would have been so much angst for Fen, and as much as I love a bit of delicious whump, I do need a light at the end of the tunnel at some point 😂

✶ Rules: Pick an OC and recreate an alternate version of them

✶ Challenge created by @elderwisp

I'll tag @southernsimmin , @surely-sims , @freezerbnuuy , @sansabirdanne , @morrigan-sims , @xandezsims (either!), @prowofligate ... hmmm and anyone else who'd like to. I'm sorry if I've missed you or if you're already done it 🥲

A small explanation for his appearance under the cut.

To make things easier for myself I didn't download anything specially for this, and just worked with what I had.

The extra eyes are from @strangegrapefruit 's Oracle Set. In the story, we already saw him with changed eyes (my own edit) and the light emissions , which I chose because he was in control of so much magic, and was opening multiple portals between multiple dimensions while drawing in and expelling pieces of the shattered Grim, and I figured he needed some kind of magical eyesight to help out.

In this AU, I imagined that after spending more time in the in-between he would create more magical eyes to help him observe the vast everything he now has access to.

The longer fingers are @sewersims Bog Witch Claws which are a favourite of mine! I used them here partly because I don't often get a chance to use them, and partly because, like his extra eyes, I thought the elongated fingers might help him weave his spells and pick apart the things he finds out there.

His chest scar is missing because I used his younger, medieval story version to take these shots, and I couldn't be bothered to add it. But also maybe existing out of time and space, and having unrestricted access to such vast quantities of magic, means that a little stab wound can be easily dissolved 🤷

His hair is this one btw! Poses are by @sciophobis !

[herecirmsims]

ehehe I love your pictures. may I ask what pose you used in the post below? and maybe where the white pants are from? /herecirmsims/816444546403663872/sax-told-him-to-put-his-hands-on-the-window-and?source=share

Hello! Thank you!

Unfortunately this will be a disappointing answer, because the poses are my own and are unreleased (I didn't particularly like them once I saw them in game, other than in those two shots I shared), and the breeches are these ones which are still in early access 🥲

If you want to play with the poses anyway despite them being kinda bad then you can grab them here. Eight couple poses with height difference, all involve a wall (or window). Place teleporters in the wall (or window), facing into the room. I think that's it 🤷

[herecirmsims]

Sax told him to put his hands on the window, and he'll keep them there until he's told otherwise 😌

Drumstick Chat

Alright we're back to the niche situation poses lmao 😅 Sometimes you just need to monologue to a cat, right? Pack contains 9 paired poses for one Sim and one cat, for use with a fence. All-in-ones included.

Important notes:

1. If your Sim has hand or flinger sliders, then the position of the acc in pose 9 might be affected. Height sliders will also mess with this.

2. If you are posing your characters on a solid fence, then I suggest posing the cat separately and using the Pose Alignment mod to align it with your Sim once posed.

3. Unfortunately not all fences are the same height or width in The Sims, so you may need to use TOOL or WW Poseplayer to adjust your characters' positions.

You will need:

- Pose Player

- Pose Alignment mod / Teleport Any Sim

- chicken stick acc (ring finger, left)

- any fence

I've been meaning to do this little appreciation post for AGES (I keep backing out over fear that my screenshots won't do them justice 😅), but I wanted to shout out two pieces of CC that I've been using lately which are subtle in their effect, but are an absolute requirement for me now.

Firstly it's the Dynamic Eye Depth sclera details by @simadream !!

For the last 4 years I've been using some CC facepaint eyes on my Sims which I absolutely adore, and which have very much become their signature look, but they had that shadow effect on them which looks great in neutral poses and not so good in any pose where the eyeballs are looking to the side/looking down.

I really wanted to keep their iris design but I also wanted more flexibility for posing, so I was genuinely trying to figure out how to edit each individual swatch... and then Simadream released this incredible piece of CC and unknowingly answered my prayers.

The sclera detail just overlays whatever eyes you're using and instantly fixes that problem. When I say my jaw dropped at the transformation... 🥹 It's also available in several slots which makes it SO useful. Thank you Simadream I am absolutely obsessed with this, you're a genius 🙏🙏

The next piece of CC is @adelarsims ' Neck Shadow detail!!

I grabbed this on release and it's on ALL of my male Sims now. Again, it's so subtle, but the difference it makes is just chef's kiss. I really really love that there are different levels of opacity, and options for a soft jawline and a really sharp one (I use the soft one for my story stuff, but the sharp one looks really cool for photoshoots).

In fact, having moved from alpha skin to MM and skin details, my Sims are like 90% AdelarSims' design now because I also downloaded their entire catalogue of genetics/skin details (I'm new to this I'm not sure if those terms are interchangeable 😅) and hnnghgdhdhd I love how they make my Sims look.

Thank you Adelar for making such gorgeous Sims and for providing us with the opportunity to make our own Sims look pretty too, you're an absolute star 🙏🙏

I should probably have put clothes on them first I guess but 🤷 Fen's hairstyles were made for him by the incredible @electricwhims btw I'm losing my mind over them!! They will be available publicly at some point! Sax's hairs are of course his own and this snood hair !

An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom

To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.

People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.

As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device. 

Questions? Contact Tumblr support or learn more about these changes here.

Conversations: Balcony

Another set that I made to make things easier for my future self... much like the Conversations: Walking posepack, this is a set of fairly generic poses that can either be used as a sequence (all-in-ones included) or mix and match. Or solo! One Sim is taller than the other.

They are less versatile because unfortunately not only are fences in the Sims different heights, but they're also different widths (these poses were made for quite a wide top) 🥴 Therefore, there might be clipping or floating with your chosen fence... I recommend using TOOL or Wicked Whims poser to elevate/move Sims.

To use: place teleporters in the fence itself, facing the direction you want your Sims to be facing. You don't have to use these on balconies of course! I just named it that because that's where I was using them.

You will need: - Pose Player - Pose Alignment mod / Teleport Any Sim - any fence
