Sasa - They/Them - Canadian - Copperdale, Ontario / Zehr Legacy

Navigation

Hello and welcome to the home of my Simblr! Here you will find my Decades Challenges with the Zehr and Finch families, as well as my project to rebuild every world in the Sims 4. Here are a few links if you need them! 

Please be aware that both legacies will contain mature themes such as war, death, alcohol, drugs, sex, prejudice, mental health etc. Though they will never be presented in a graphic way, it is something to know before reading.

I am ask and WCIF friendly, but do know that despite my OCD I am actually incredibly disorganized so I may not always actually have an answer on where I found something.

Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin' The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day Across the wide prairies our loved ones lie sleeping Beyond the dark ocean in a place far away

We are the navvies who work upon the railway Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey Bendin' our backs 'til the long days are done

Song- "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" by Gordon Lightfoot

[sasaofastora]

Now that there were four children in the house, Thomas knew he had to start working for the railroad again to bring in a little extra money, although he hated to leave his young family behind.

There was no shortage of work on the railways, however, as construction on a huge new project had begun out west- they called it the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and so Thomas left to join the ranks of the many workers in the Rocky Mountains.

As the twins grew older, their individual personalities began to show more and more.

Margaret, with her dark coloured hair was every bit as sweet as the heart-shaped birthmark on her forehead would suggest. She was quiet and considerate, and loved her parents and her sister deeply.

Harriet meanwhile, was far more wild, with lighter hair that was difficult to tame into the braids that matched her sister’s. She loved to laugh and tease her siblings, and was running around the house and the yard almost as soon as she could walk.

Both girls though loved more than anything to play outside in the flowers and the leaves, and to listen to their father’s many fantastical stories.

It was only a few short months after the completion of the girl's nursery that Caroline and Thomas had yet another new addition to the household- this time, another happy healthy baby boy!

Welcome Henry Zehr, born September 5, 1874.

[sasaofastora]

In no time at all, the little Zehr cottage had become very chaotic and very crowded. One evening, Thomas hesitantly mentioned to his wife that perhaps her beloved art studio would have to be converted into a room for some of the children. Caroline sat in silence for a moment, and Thomas worried that she was deeply upset.

Then, to his surprise, she smiled and said “You know, I think that is a wonderful idea. Besides, I do believe we will need the space even more very soon!” They embraced, both equally excited and nervous about another addition to their rapidly growing family.

And so, the little studio was turned into a cozy bedroom for the girls to share.

It's been a good long while since posting this last- but the Zehr's will finally return tomorrow following up from here!

[sasaofastora]

Happy Canada Day from the Zehr's!

Fun fact! This flag is called the "Canadian Red Ensign" and this particular design was used from 1868 to 1922. The Maple Leaf flag that we know and love actually wasn't introduced until 1965.

[sasaofastora]

Hoping the Zehrs can make a return soon- until then, Happy Canada Day!

EA Announces The Sims 4 Marketplace and "Moola" Microtransactions

EA and Maxis have announced today a new The Sims 4 Marketplace. Where players can purchase additional sets, CC and content for the game in e

[vartosa]

now it's the perfect time to support creators of free cc. i truly hope as few creators as possible support this, because it's really bad. it is bad for the franchise itself as well as for the entire sims community. so disappointing, but not surprising at all.

[filippovnabey]

sims 4 marketplace is for lame people who want lame cc made by people who endorse and, for some reason, wants to literally support the disgusting cash grab monstrosity that is ea and tumblr is for cool people who want cool cc made by people with creative passions and the genuine desire to transform their obsessions into playable pixels

[sasaofastora]

Sorry for disappearing for a little while!! Between busy real life and ea updates not letting me into my game, been forced into a bit of an unplanned hiatus. Hope to be back soon!

[sasaofastora]

Hey friends, unfortunately the hiatus rages on. Was unexpectedly laid off a couple weeks ago and it’s left me very confused and unmotivated. This is all just to say, thanks for sticking around- not sure yet when I’ll be back with more Copperdale Ontario but it’s definitely not going away forever.

Hey! The doll is part of this set by @lady-moriel. Thanks for asking!

Many grueling hours later, just as the storm was beginning to break, Thomas and Caroline were finally blessed with beautiful twin girls. They were simply overjoyed that their little family was growing so quickly, and Thomas could not wait to introduce Tommy to his brand new sisters.

Welcome Margaret and Harriet Zehr, born July 19, 1873.

[sasaofastora]

It was a late summer evening as lightning flashed and thunder crashed outside, when Caroline went into labour for the second time. Somehow she had thought that this time it might be easier, but quickly learned that that was absolutely not the case.

They would have sent for Dr. Burges but he was held up by the storm at a patient out of town, and so instead word was sent to Mrs. McManus, who came running as quickly as she could.

Thomas, meanwhile, was tasked with comforting little Tommy, who was overwhelmed with the storm and the cries he could hear coming from his mother’s room.

As the days went by, Caroline tried her best to be patient with Tommy, but the longer the boy went without speaking, the more her frustration grew. Surely there was sometime wrong with him, and surely there was a way to fix him!

Thomas’ staunch patience, however, only served to further Caroline’s annoyance. Though for Tommy, this meant he felt much closer to his father than his cold mother, and often could only be comforted enough to fall asleep by listening to his father’s voice as he read him fairytales each night.
