OASIS SPRINGS AEROSPACE (OSA) is an aerospace startup located in oasis springs, arizona. we are seeking to form a small, diverse team of new graduates with backgrounds in physics, biology, and computer science. if you are interested in aerospace mechanics, astrobiology, or astrophysics, apply today!
this is a public call for sims to join my occult legacy save!
i'm looking for 7 sims to become christopher's coworkers + more sims to populate oasis springs.
submissions will be open until june 15th.
🌴SUBMISSIONS CLOSED! thank you to everyone who applied :)
📝 guidelines
young adult human sims only!
i am looking for sims that are engineers, biologists, and computer programmers that would be interested in working in aerospace. you can get creative, but try to stay within those niches!
please write a small biography about your sim! it will help me select who i think will be best for the job. you don't have go super in depth, but their bio will help me select the final sims :)
you don't need to set your sim up with degrees or skills or anything if you don't want to! i can do all of that in game myself.
💌 how to apply
simply make a post introducing your sim and tag me in the post! feel free to send me an ask telling me you posted one, just in case tumblr eats the notification.
i will contact you via askbox after the post goes up and we'll organize a private download, so make sure your ask is open! i will be downloading every sim that is submitted.
i will reblog every submission under the tag #deanOSA
⭐ selection process
the deadline for submissions is june 15th, 2025. sorry for the short window - i'm really excited to play asap lol. i'll be selecting the sims and posting about them sometime before june 21st, 2025!
i will be selecting 7 sims to be christopher's coworkers for the duration of the generation. using the club feature, these sims will act as his coworkers, and will ultimately become his and percy's primary social circle.
i am ideally looking for at least two sims from each category (engineering, biology, computer science). i want to create a well balanced team for this project, but if i don't get enough submissions for each category, i'll just cope :P
the sims will be chosen based on... vibes? i might rng if i'm stuck between who to pick. ultimately though i want to pick whoever fits best with christopher and the vibe i have for the team.
don't worry though! all sims submitted will be added to my save and live in oasis springs for the whole generation! because i use kuttoe's home regions mod, they will be the only sims populating the town, and so they'll be the sims interacting with my sims most often. they will also essentially be re-populating my save since i recently culled a bunch of random townies lol
i will absolutely be posting updates if anything interesting happens with submitted sims :) and who knows, maybe a future dean will marry a descendent or something!
🧬 sim creation info
i have all packs, so there's no pack restrictions on what you can use to dress up your sims!
your sims should have one outfit per category. don't worry about their main outfit being work appropriate - i'll be giving each sim an additional work outfit. if i need to add or change anything, i'll make sure to keep their aesthetic consistent!
cc is okay, but keep it to a moderate amount. mm preferred, hair + clothes are okay, but don't go buckwild on accessories or anything like that (unless it's important for their backstory or identity, like necessary scars, medical equipment, identifying features, etc)
if i choose not to use any of the cc given with the sim, i will change the item to something consistent in style that i already have in my game. (for example, a green t-shirt will be swapped out for a different green t-shirt)
please don't use custom body presets! custom face presets and sliders are okay, but just know that they might get messed up if i ever need to make tweaks.
feel free to use skin details and makeup, but the sims will have my defaults, and i might change up some skin details and makeup to fit in with my game better. i'll still retain their general look though! i might just go with stuff i have in my game instead of new stuff that i wouldn't normally use.
you can either link the cc they use in the post, or include them in the dl with their tray files. i don't mind either way.
that should be everything!! if you have any questions feel free to ask me. no judgements if you need clarification on anything i mentioned here :) i know it's a lot lol!

Riley Bernard
Over-Achiever, Cringe, Self-Assured | Computer Whiz
for @polarmoon's occult legacy save!
Riley doesn't think he's a typical computer nerd, but after talking with him for 5 minutes you'll notice that he's already spoken 250 words per minute about his latest project while he frantically moves the 17 cans of energy drinks away from his desk to show you his notes (how can he even read them they're a mess of scribbles and symbols??). On top of all that, you can see he hasn't slept and...has he been outside at all lately? (The answer is no.)
But, there are some good qualities to take away from this. He's a hard worker, he's passionate, and he knows his stuff. If only he could put this much effort into actually making a friend or two 🤔
As a Child of the Islands, Sulani native Lehua was raised to love and care for the world around her, and that love brought her to apply for a job at Oasis Springs Aerospace! 🪐 She's interested in researching how space exploration and biology can come together to help improve the environment for a better future.
I'm very excited to submit a Sim for @polarmoon's Occult Legacy Save! You can learn more about Lehua under the cut, so keep reading if you're interested. ✨
Sim Info:
Lehua is a lesbian who enjoys gardening, knitting, and handiness, among other things! You'll often find her tending to her garden or researching plants at the local park. 🏞️ She's always dressed head to toe in raspberry pink, and likes to accessorise with understated jewellery. She's not one for horse riding, tattooing, or electronica music. On a night out, she'll most likely be found at the bar talking to potential lovers. 💘
Outfits Overview:
LOD model switching will be the death of me lmao, but I'm really happy with her outfits! Yes, it was unintentional that her athletic outfit looks exactly like the lesbian flag and no, I'm not changing it. 😤
Ricki is a computer programmer from a small town with a big love for video games, online chess and anything Star Wars related. A self proclaimed geek.
Ricki thrives in studying Science, organizing code, and occasionally overanalyzing board game strategies. Known for being a neat freak, a bit socially awkward and always up for a late night coding session or stargazing break. Ricki brings a quiet passion and precision to everything from debugging to checkmating.
Every since he was little Samson has loved bugs. Creepy crawly little guys just make him happy. When he got to high school the bug lore really helped him get ahead in science class, enabling his love to push him into a career in biology. One evening after watching Attack of the intergalactic bug he found his calling. Space bugs. None of this green alien guy nonsense, isopod aliens are out there! He's hoping to prove it in Oasis Springs. If they'll have him.
Sidenote: I still haven't finished rebuilding my CC folders so he's got like no skin details, feel free to add some to him!

with a special interest in space since she was a kid, sonya has always dreamt big. she first dived into space using a crappy little camera to photograph the night sky, and decided that she wanted to share her love for outer space with everyone else around her.
with a newly acquired degree in computer science, sonya aims to help develop groundbreaking technology to see beyond the sky's limits and make sure everything is just high-quality enough for anyone to enjoy.
of course, her belief that everyone can love space just as much as her can be a little naive, but it's never stopped her. despite not getting along with other kids in school (let alone uni) sonya is determined to get over her social anxiety to share ideas and compare blueprints with others in her workplace.
when she isn't working or obsessing over her interests, sonya is usually found playing video games or honing her photography skills. she's not used to close friendships, but maybe the right people can help bring her out of her shell!
for eli!!!: i do tend to use a lot of cc w my sims so i totally understand whatever changes u want to make LOL
i also used my default skin and eyes for her but i'll be sure to take those out if you'd like to download :3
My submission for @polarmoon Oasis Springs aerospace application:
Tessa Alvarado
tessa's always been a bit of a nature nerd. ever since she was little, tessa was always bringing home strange plants, rocks, or bugs to study. her curiosity turned into a full on love for biology, and after finishing her degree, she's hoping to land a spot with Oasis Springs Aerospace. she's a bit shy at first, but once she gets comfortable, her love for science always shines through.
Aila-Karé Arvola for @polarmoon's Oasis Springs Aerospace
Renaissance Sim - Lovebug, Nosy & Genius
In old stories Aila-Karé's people thought of themselves as the descendants of the sun's children with the important task of maintaining the connection between the earth and the sun. Now, far away from home, Aila-Karé dreams of living up to these stories through deepening sims' understanding of outer space. Having just finished her physics degree she's hoping for the job opportunity of a lifetime: the OSA.
CC used: Hair / Lipstick / Blush & nose highlight / Hot Weather tshirt / Everyday Cardigan / Party dress / Formal dress
She's also wearing the body blush I always use + my default skin (Halo) and eyes (Opal) in this picture
I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of sim I wanted to make since I've never participated in something like this and I eventually settled on a sim only I would make. Basically, she's supposed to be the sim equivalent of a sámi person. I thought it was kinda fitting and a bit of fun since the sun and northern lights are important parts of sámi myths/stories
