'Roman Darkmoor Must Die.'
The Devil of Darkmoor Collector's Edition, by Henford-on-Bagley's own A.D. Dorian. This (pretend) period romance series follows the varied loves of Roman Darkmoor, the man everyone wants, and wants to kill. Our hero is a bisexual disaster on a mission to get himself off--er, offed--and everyone is dying to help him.

Some Facts About this Project:
Dez came up with this in 2022: Harlequin-style trashy novels as unique clutter. The original concept was 2 deco books. It turned into 3 deco books, a full book set, and 5 readable books. So far.
The titles are modeled after 1980s romances. Dez went through hundreds of Simlish fonts, and finally modified the title font character by character to better match the English font, Georgia.
Every bit of text in this is Xan's fault. He went overboard. Back cover blurbs, book pages, the lot. Don't let a writer do anything.
The book pages were meant to be cliche racy novel schlock, but they came out much better than expected. Oops.
We hope you like this--and that, if you do, you'll tell us. Between research, screenshots, photo-editing, font-editing, meshing, writing, testing, designing and redesigning, we spent actual, real-world months on this. And we're proud of it. But it was a lot.
Despite that, Xan is considering a semi-historical version. (Let's be real: dirty books are not a new invention.) So that might happen.

My kid is turning out just like me. Well played, karma. Well-played.

A Simblreen story that went unfinished last year, but what made it came out cute. So, presenting: shenanigans at the pumpkin patch! We got so many baby costumes, it was pretty much required. (Baby costume lookbook here.) Starring the Grays. Credits below. Happy late (or early?) Simblreen!

SkeleFred: I’m totally sharing this. *typing sounds* “#blessed!” <3
Victor: This is not happening...
SkeleFred: Man, I’ve lost weight on the trip! Don’t you think?
Victor: Are you going to do this the entire time?
SkeleFred: I mean, you officially can’t say you don’t know who I am inside.
Victor: Stop.
SkeleFred: Come on, boo, cheer up... *leans in* Hey...wanna bone?
Victor: That’s it. We’re going home.
That awkward moment when you convince your girlfriend to go on a possibly illegal, morally questionable adventure, aaand she gets turned into a skeleton. #relatable
Not intentionally Simblreen material but, when life gives you skeletons... We hadn’t played Jungle Adventures until now and this bit had us dying. We were not prepared.

You ever meet somebody at the club so cute you gotta steal their soul? No? Just Fred then...
Simblreen set 2! Originally we weren’t gonna post this one, because it ended up sort of freaky compared to the Summoner. Buuut, it grew on us. It just came out weirdly cinematic. Consider we’re noobs. All creators tagged below! <3
[Case 1: The Summoner]
[Case 3: The Scarecrow]
[Case 4: The Demon]
J: *offscreen* You know, I suspect you three aren’t taking this seriously... IP
Etain: First of all, how dare you. o:
Fred: Right? Rude. xP
Wendy: Wait, this was supposed to be serious...? >v>

@pepperoni-puffin @saurussims @nolan-sims @ilkup @okruee @pinkpatchy @viiavi @simpeaches we love y’all~
Just the girls usin’ magic for its intended purpose...
Wendy: Helping people? Finding enlightenment?
Ettie/Fred: Getting a man.
Wendy: Oh. *beat* Wait--that’s what it’s for?
Ettie: What else would it be for?
Next photoset on the way~! Heads up @saurussims @nolan-sims @viiavi @pepperoni-puffin @feralpoodles @pinkpatchy @something-wicked-sims, we made use of your witchy gifts!
Tryna do these late af Simblreen photosets, and these two lose the plot halfway through their photoshoot...so, outtakes?
Costumes by @eirflower, @okruee, @pinkpatchy, @silverhammersims, @nords-sims , and @pralinesims. Better shots coming soon (assuming Fredette and Pace wanna cooperate).
