Here’s a quick makeover I did of EA lot Rockridge Springs in Evergreen Harbor. I made it for the Thorne family, which includes my new favorite toddler, her parents and their beagle Scout.
Of course I had to include a picture of little angel Evie 💗🎀
Sometimes a family can just be two wives and their giant kodiak bear.
I commissioned @leavenopathuntaken for this piece of my fc5 Dep Evie and Jess Black :))) I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and how easy going leavenopathuntaken was to work with. If you get a chance I urge you to commission them!! 💕
Summary: Jess tries to teach Evie how to use a bow properly, but it doesn’t last long. Evie to finds a way out by convincing Jess to go stargazing instead.
A/N: Surprise! I hope you enjoy it @aghostfromtheages! I hope I did the lovely Evie justice! She’s a wonderful character! :) It was really fun doing this fc5 event! I’m glad I could be apart of it! Thank you very much for organizing it @edensgay!
Hope ya’ll Enjoy! :D

“You have to stand up straight and hold your arm out. If you don’t, the string’s going to snap you on the arm.” Jess states as she repositions the bow in Evie’s hands.
Evie lets out an exaggerated sigh. “Why do I have to learn how to shoot a bow again? I think I do just fine with my shotgun.”
“The shotgun is exactly the problem. If you keep blowing our cover like you do, you’re going to get hurt.”
“Aww, you care about me.”
Jess scoffs as she picks up her own bow for the umpteenth time. She places an arrow into the bow and gets ready to draw back.
“Someone has to. You’ll get yourself killed otherwise.” Jess replies as she pulls back the string.
She glances at Evie to make sure she’s watching before looking back at the cross hairs. “Alright. Now watch me again. This is how you should hold the bow.”
Evie watches as Jess looks down towards the red and white target at the end of the range. Her eyes admire the taut muscle in Jess’s forearms as she holds back the string. She’ll always be impressed by her skills.
Jess holds her breath loosely and then easily releases the string. The arrow goes flying across the lot and hits the target right in the bulls-eye. Jess lets out her breath and lowers the bow.
“I’ll never get tired of seeing that.” Evie says as she sets her bow down on the bench between them.
“What? Me?”
“Yeah, you. You’re fucking amazing at that. I should really just watch you practice.”
Jess sets her bow down and crosses her arms as she looks at Evie with a raised brow and an unconvinced look.
“You don’t want to practice anymore, do you?”
She was caught red-handed… Evie sets her bow down next to her bag and sits on the side of the bench. “I just like watching you is all. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the whole...stealth tactic. You’re much better at it than me.”
“You’ll learn if you practice more.” Jess says as she picks up her own bag.
“I’ll get it eventually, but enough talking about practicing. Let's go up to outlook. I hear it’s supposed to be a really clear tonight. The stars will be beautiful.”
Jess stows away her bow and arrows. She puts her hands on her hips and looks at Evie. “Fine, but we’re practicing more tomorrow.”
“Deal.” Evie says as she gets up off the bench and grabs her equipment.
Right after sundown they arrive at their outlook. They went to this outlook occasionally to watch the stars. It was always a gorgeous sight.
Evie sets down her bag and pulls a blanket out from it. She tosses it out and sits down on one side. Jess soon joins her, setting their small lantern down beside them.
“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” Evie asks as she points to the array of stars shimmering in the sky.
“I would stay out here forever if I could.”
Evie lets out a relaxed sigh. “Me too.”
“Too bad there’s a fucking cult holding the county hostage.”
Evie nearly laughs at her bluntness, but she was right. That was definitely a downer. “At least we have these little moments, right?”
“Yeah,” Jess glances over at Evie before looking back at the sky. “I guess we do.”
They gaze at the stars in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before Evie shifts back towards Jess.
“Which constellation is your favorite?” She asks.
“I don’t have one. They’re nice all together.”
“Hmm, you know which one I think you’d like?”
“You better not say–“
“Sagittarius the archer.” Evie says with a teasing smile.
Jess lets out an annoyed sigh, but Evie swears she sees the ghost of a smile on her lips.
“What? Don’t you agree that it’s a good match?”
Jess looks over at her with an incredulous look. “Sure, Evie. Sure.”
A smug smirk finds its way to Evie’s lips as she quickly leans over and kisses Jess’s cheek. As she pulls away, Jess meets her eyes. She silent for a moment before she says, “Now that’s something I’m never going to fucking get used to.”
Evie smiles and lets out a small laugh. “Never change, Jess. Never change…”
My Rook might be my favourite Dragon Age protagonist.
An elven Grey Warden, who wanted to be a hero, who preens when Neve calls the griffons and wardens heroes.
Who punches first and asks questions only when the punching hasn't worked (and everyone's looking at her as though she's lost her mind - and maybe she has, maybe she's finally snapped. Worms indeed, Assan).
Who's so very kind, even when people are really damn frustrating and unkind to her.
Who's fiesty and fierce and loves so damn strongly. Who gets emotional, and will throw herself into danger to protect anyone she can.
Whose persistant 'live for the moment' attitude - because she knows one day her blighted blood will catch up to her - slowly breaks down the barriers of one cynical, afraid to love detective (who eventually learns to follow the 'live for the moment' mantra)
(and don't think about how blights quicken the calling and the limited time they might have together).
Everything's falling down around her pointy ears, and she still finds the time to help the downtrodden, her new friends, all whilst hallucinating her mentor is still alive, and suffering the constant song of the blight.
A real hero, just like she wanted to be. And she tries so hard to live up to that. "No sleep for heroes?" indeed, Neve.
I just love her (and her detective girlfriend) a lot.
Sorry for spamming little Evie, but she may be the cutest toddler I’ve ever had in game. Every time I check up on her she’s making the most adorable expression 🎀💗 Every. single. time.
Photogenic sims ftw
I’ve don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as cute as little Evie enjoying rocking chairs with her mom 💗
Never had a toddler do this before and I CANT EVEN
