L-R: Clementine, Hyacinth, Elijah, Talia

“Revered for being the founding family of Willow Creek, the Sylvanwoods are a bloodline of intellectuals who help in the town's prosperity. Elijah's pursuits in pushing quality education and Talia's mission in preserving the town's culture are nothing if not admirable. Their twin granddaughters, however, are feeling the pressure. Hyacinth has no trouble riding the coattails of her family name, but will Clementine succeed in convincing the townsfolk that she's more than a Sylvanwood?”

Hello! Finally a new save to play in after so long. This isn’t technically a traditional legacy gameplay, as they’re already well-established within the save file. This is more chill without getting too much into making elaborate storylines (don’t be fooled by the family description) and just letting the game do its thing. I’m so excited to post more about this save soon!

your In Your Element eyes are the best ones I've ever seen!! thank you so much, seriously <3 (manifesting for more colours 🙏)

Thank you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥ I've been using a different eyeset for a while, but seeing the love for my IYE makes me want to go back again. If you have palette ideas in mind, lemme know!

Hey! The new werewolf pack just launched and I was wondering if you were planning on making eyes and possibly heterochromia for the new occult. Your eyes are awesome, but subtle enough to blend in with the base game! Please don't take this as pressure to do something, I was simply just wondering :)

Hey there! Don't worry about pressuring me; it's in my to-do list the moment I saw the trailer (along with the Beetle v2 for pets, and IYE cottage living addons, which hopefully one of them gets finished this weekend).

I don't have the pack yet, but when I do I'll go start on it ♥

idk if many have seen these world map replacements by now, but I saw this a few weeks ago (forgot how I ended up finding it, couldn’t search it here as the creator doesn’t have a tumblr afaik). 

These are the most gorgeous map replacements by far! Ang here I chose some of my favorites. They have saturated and low-saturated versions, and I have a mix of them. Definitely a must-have to make the game’s visuals even better.

Thanks so much for the asks! I thought after being gone for so long, someone must’ve already converted them for C+D + cottage living. 

Since I’m focusing more time on my work now and only play during the weekends, progress for this will be slow, but if any of you don’t mind that, sure I can convert them!

oh great another cas style study

two weeks later.

I’ve been here for three months now. I’d like to think that I’m getting used to this place, but I miss living in San Myshuno. Nothing ever happens here, at least back in the city there were festivals. I’m really lucky to have my cat Callisto, the only piece of the city I brought with me that kept me sane for this long.

My friends used to ask me why I chose Strangerville of all places, and I’m starting to question that myself. It sounded perfect in theory: live far away from the urban noise and mind my own business, doing freelance and working on my own pace. And I was doing exactly that. All according to plan. But I feel like I’m going nowhere. This place is going nowhere. It’s like the town is stuck in time, and I start to wonder if Strangerville is in a separate plane of existence, like it is its own pocket dimension, its own closed world —

Okay, maybe those conspiracy theorists are getting to me.

The locals are nice, I guess. Mark, the bartender who works at the 8 Bells Saloon across the street, is the closest person I have for a friend ever since I moved here. In reality, he talks a lot and I just listen, I guess they don’t get many visitors, especially from the city. Apparently bartending is just his side gig to save up funds to move in Del Sol Valley.  I’m annoyed by him most of the time, but I’m beginning to enjoy his company. I even began to share stories with him during my time at San Myshuno. I guess at one point he mistook it for romantic interest, and it got awkward. I just don’t feel the same way for him. Thankfully he took it in stride, and we’re back to talking like it never happened. He’s a lot more mature than he’s letting on, and I’m a lot more judgmental than I thought otherwise.

I would chalk up today as another lazy afternoon, but word from the grapevine is that there are people who are acting strange at night, and this time they’re not talking about the conspiracy theorists. People suddenly going rigid and snapping into weird poses, and nobody could talk them out of their trance. I don’t know if it’s alarming or just bizarre, I haven’t seen anything like that yet. 

Strangerville is starting to live up to its name.

CAS mode: safe haven, can spend hours in it, can make fun outfits :)

Build mode: absolute hell, spend an entire day on one room and it’s still not finished, not enough swatches, objects too chunky, what do you MEAN my sim can’t use their laptop when there’s deco around IT’S NOT EVEN BLOCKING IT-

[larularo]

I saw @landgraabsociety​‘s Moon Eyes and thought “Wouldn’t it be great...if we have this for aliens? 👀” And here we are! I also made a facepaint version of the human swatches for personal use, but I decided to include it here too in case anyone wants options.

Alien & Evil Clone defaults, no specular

Facepaint version of the human eye defaults + nondefaults

- Download and swatches under the cut -

[larularo]

Hi! I'm not sure if you are WCIF friendly but if you are, what's the MaxisMix skin you used on /post/659311555373088768/by-unpopular-demand-i-am-back-briefly-before-i? It's so pretty!!!

Heya, don't worry I'm wcif-friendly, I used Francesca for the body, Tulip for the face, and Highlight #9 for the face shine!

[larularo]

i literally jumped into photoshop just for u anon, this is the sweetest message since i logged back in- skin clear, crops watered, serotonin FUELED, thank you so much!! I'm glad you like my content, no matter how sporadic ;; I hope you're having a great day as well! ♥♥♥

hey so i think i discovered a bug with the in your element heterochromia, the scar version? certain necklaces would cause it to turn black/glitchy. happened with all choker necklaces, the colorful sort of plumbob shaped one from get to work and the shark tooth necklace of all things lmao?! idk if it could be some other cc conflicting with it? worked fine w all other jewellry, hats, custom lashes and makeup etc. just thought id let you know!

Oh, I definitely see what you mean! It has something to do with where the heterochromia texture is placed in the uv map. Best guess is that the original creator who did the heterochromia mesh chose the area close to the neck area for it. I imagine chokers and any necklace that reach a bit higher on the neck occupy the same space where the heterochromia texture is, hence the conflict. I also tested on cc chokers and necklaces and they don't conflict at all, most likely they occupy on a different area of the uv map. I haven't touched a 3D program since college, and changing the position the uv placement would conflict something else. Sorry if it didn't make sense, but thank you for bringing this up!
