penny pizzazz | you know you love me

before penny was THE source of san my, she was just another comms major at britechester. between side hustles, penny is quickly becoming the go-to source for the coolest happenings and the latest trends on campus. she's always booked, busy, and somehow exactly where the drama is. she swore junior year would be different. you know...better decisions...less drama. and maybe stop doing everything for the plot. but where's the fun in that?

so i've been behind the scenes rebuilding windenburg to play oshin's new five families legacy challenge BUT our girlie @justbunii dropped a new fun and messy af legacy challenge that i just needed to play. so here we are pivoting. lol, what's new? me starting my 50th legacy challenge that i may never finish.

at least i was able to use my current save instead a starting from scratch.

i even started making a new sim for this challenge but decided to use a townie instead. i haven't played with penny/miko in SOOO long. since i switched to gaming laptop (vs. og desktop), i decided to make a new penny in my newest iteration of my sim style. really like how she turned out!

huntington lodge | build download (follower's gift #5)

built for generations of summering elite, the huntington lodge is a sprawling old-money retreat overlooking the lake at wanderwood wilds. the estate features six private guest wings, an on-site archery field, and a detached boathouse residence for added privacy.

type: residential (custom venue) price: §358,137 size: 50x50 location: camp gibbi gibbi, gibbi point play tested: ✅ (see notes below) download:  ⬇️ huntington lodge (cc).zip (27.5 mb) ⬇️ huntington lodge (no cc).zip (274 kb)

notes: you can view more pictures of this build here. the 50x50 lots are not identical in gibbi point so be mindful if placing it in a different lot. check under the cut for more details inc. how i use this build as custom venue for annual family retreat. reminder that cc and no cc are slightly different. please enjoy and tag me if you use!

sorry for the delay guys, this has been mostly finished since late october tbh...but still had little tweaks i wanted to make and hit a creative block. plus i also always upload a cc free version of the build so wanted to take time to do that as well.

and for more bts inspo, used some inspo from yellowstone for the one of the living room areas and part of the 2nd floor in the main estate.

and i built this to host an annual family retreat sounds super old money (to me at least). here's a snippet of how i set up my custom venue to make this work. i'm still tweaking it...

[its-opheliasgarden]

the boathouse |📍huntington lodge, gibbi point

nothing says “family bonding” like a private lake, four guest wings, a boathouse and decades of repressed emotion. the huntingtons have summered here for generations...archery on the lawn, rivalry on the water, legacy in every reflection...

yes for 3 consecutive weekends i've been working on this over the top luxury AF (at least i think so) cabin/lodge for j and his family (which i need to post at some point). still haven't even made it to the fun gp ideas i have but of course here we are...another build interlude...

so this build is very inspired by adirondack, lake placid/tahoe homes. had a lot of fun finding inspo especially from rustic 'mountain living' aesthetic. and my goal is to share this build soon! finished the boathouse and still need to work on the main estate...

penny pizzazz | a daughter of the world

pulled between two worlds, penny has always struggled with who she is and even more...who she wants to be. after her parents divorced, she was raised in windenburg by her mum and aunties. summers she'd visit her dad's family in ondarion. as she starts to find her footing, she's learning she can have the best of both worlds...

i've seen so much fun takes on penny's lore. really liked the idea of her being british indian from what i've read online. however, ondarion now in the mix, i thought it would be cool to connect her to dambele heritage on her dad's side.

also decided to style her lighter colored sarees/lehengas to signal her mom is from north india. overall, had a lot of fun building these looks and can't wait to get into gp. i swear i spend like 1 month setting up a save (that i never play in...sigh).

the epitome of productivity | cc download

for when your sim needs to align, synergize, and cry in the breakroom. introducing the epitome of productivity — a set of sleek, slightly passive-aggressive office wall decals designed for glass surfaces. perfect for startups, fake tech bros, or any workplace that believes in grind culture, groupthink, and vague motivational phrases.

swatches: 19 total (black & white) type: decor (wall) price: §20 download: ⬇️ iog_officewalldecals.zip (1.80 mb)

notes: so i originally made these as part of my rainy day hq build. i've seen a few wcifs floating around so to make it easier i'm sharing them directly. art was extracted from hsy and b&h whiteboards as well 2 new designs (see below the cut). shoutout to @cerubean for using them in their amazing windenburg campus build!

rainy day hq | build download (follower's gift #4)

welcome to rainy day hq—where social engineering meets better lighting. in partnership with wainscot interiors llc, our new space is a modern oasis: bold colors, natural wood, and nordska-inspired design that just screams “aesthetic productivity.” nestled in mirage canyon, oasis springs’ rising tech hub, our four-story walk-up offers stunning views and nearby accommodations—because burnout shouldn’t require a commute.

sound like your kind of storm? let’s form and storm together. ☁️

type: small business venue price: §534,042 size: 40x30 location: burners & builders, oasis springs play tested: ✅ (see notes below) download:  ⬇️ rainy day hq (cc lite).zip (28 mb) ⬇️ rainy day hq (cc free).zip (426 kb)

notes: original shell on gallery by theInsims and clush2005. no major routing issues, but minor with high top seats. colorful chairs in front are more decor than fxn. cc free and cc lite version are slightly different to make up for no cc. please enjoy and tag me if you use!

@cutietrait it's finally here! thanks for asking for this build! honestly help motivate me to finish it and share it now as follower's gift since i just hit another milestone. <3

layout details: this build has 4 floors and i tried my best to mimic key features in a company esp. tech start up vibes. so you've got open workspaces, kitchenettes, 4 focus rooms, 2 conference rooms (8 sims max), and larger conference room for your "all-hands meetings". i left a vacancy for you to customize as you see fit (e.g., ceo suite). also recommend checking out office snapshots. i used it a lot for inspo. it has gallery full of offices from all over the world...

gameplay details: if you want make this multi-fxn lot, i’d recommend spawn mods such as: npcs everywhere (kuttoe) OR multi-purpose lot traits (@down-in-simsland). and if you want to set up small business for a start up like i did. here's the step up. target customers = freelance programmers and tech gurus. skill requirement = programming. tested in-game and autonomy seemed to work well...

arnessa thebe | la sciura tartosian

a matriarch and proud descendant of the thebe dynasty, arnessa cherishes her childhood in bellacorde fondly. alongside her late husband, ernesto, she built her fortunes from the ground up within tartosa's renowned hotel and wedding industry. now a doting nonna to her 6 grandchildren—with a soft spot for her nipotino, j huntington iii—she dreams that each will grow and honor the thebe name and legacy...

had so much fun building our arnessa's lookbook. took a lot of inspo from sciura (aka stylish fashionable milanese women) from ig: sciuraglam! i was able to use new silver screen and royalty & legacy to capture this pretty well with only light touches of some cc for acc...had fun showing her love of color but also fur/prints!

also thank you to amazing @helgatisha for their lovely cas (idealist) poses! i've used them consistently for my last 5 look books!
