From Thoughts Emerge a Universe

Hello, I go by Luna. I love reading, fashion, k-pop, anime and a lot more. I play video games and write fanfiction as well. From time to time I'll post book reviews here that are cross posted from my goodreads

I have a journal I love for penpaling but sadly all my penpals have been busy to the point letters aren’t an option anymore. I’m open to having new penpals if anyone is interested.

Spookathon TBR

Spookathon is a readathon by booksandlala over on youtube. I don’t think I’ll get to all the challenges but I hope to get to a few

Labyrinth Lost I’ll be using for a spooky word in the title and a spooky setting

Carmilla for something you wouldn’t normally read ( Classics are hard for me)

and that will be it for my standard tbr for now. If I get through both of those I’ll be adding something with red on the cover cause that’s the next easiest challenge to add.

Kate Drew

While I did make a sim for Kate, in game she is already dead. She died in game in a fire just due to the fact I can’t make it a car crash and it seemed like the closest option.  Her traits are

good

hot tempered

genius

Her aspiration was Big Happy Family which came with the domestic trait.

I sadly have forgotten to take a picture of her close up face before I killed her.

[simtastic-star]

     While it may not have been a happy morning it was a productive one. You’ve got this!

[simtastic-star]

The garden is looking wonderful at this point

Part one of meeting the Clue Crew Sims. I won’t post pictures for every sim in this world but I’ll post about the ones I’ve made myself as well as ones I alter moving forward. My interpretation for Nancy Drew is mostly based upon the video games by HerInteractive with some book influence. Most the sims won’t be starting with 0s in skills either so I’ll let you know what skills and what levels they have.

Nancy Drew

Our plucky girl detective. Since we never see her in games that much I went for this look. There were so many traits that could have been used for her but I narrowed it down to

klepto

genius

perfectionist

Nancy has the Renaissance Sim aspiration which comes with the quick learner trait

     Up early to write our next book and this happens, and the repair ended up costing 105 simoleons too. Ugh! not a good morning.

[simtastic-star]

     We finally have something that looks like a house, we aren’t making much in royalties yet, it’s still mostly gardening and collectibles, and of course we still don’t have a bed yet, but that’s okay we are getting there slowly.

[simtastic-star]

     Still moving up there, so far we have an enclosed bathroom and now Alexandria is writing some books so we can have a stable income.  With all that hard work it’s time for a snack. 

     We finally kind of have a house, (lacking a bed just right now at least we have a tent) And the second meal ever Alexandria not only catches the house on fire but she sets herself alight, oh dear 

[simtastic-star]

Meet Alexandria

     Her traits are romantic bookworm loves the outdoors and she has the curator aspiration. She is my current sims working on a rags to riches challenge, right now it’s collectibles galore to afford everything but we will get there

     We finally have enough money to afford some basics like a tent shower as well as cooler, she’s also started a garden that I forgot to take screenshots of. 

[simtastic-star]

I thought my first upload for edited screenshots should be my sim self, though I don’t really play sims that often as myself I do really like the way this came out. I will be uploading still of my Rags to Riches challenge was on my personal here as well though I am going to take the time to edit them this time.
