this was a trend on instagram called #faceyourart but i thought it would be fun to bring it around simblr. post 9 faces of sims you have 100% created (not born in game) to spot similarities and to see your style.
thank you for tagging me, @simgerale! ily! <3
i tag: @nooodlenoot, @simblrdreamsworld, @lavenderm00nlight and anyone else who fancies showing off their sims!
and finally for glimmerbrook we have a household of my own creation: the akers.
ex-crook jamari turned his life around when he met darwin, a rather unassuming potion merchant, who took his breath away the second they met each other’s gaze. he was certain that he’d been jinxed, that was the only rational way to explain the way he felt, but alas, it was all from his own heart. his friends had led him down the wrong path from a young age, but his desire to impress this guy could be the the thing to finally pull him back onto the right one. low and behold, spending more time figuring out how to get that handsome guy from the potion shop to speak to him than figuring out which rune statue would be the easiest to smuggle home does wonders for a person’s mindset and at the end of it all he came out the other side of this plot a changed man, with a loving husband to show for it. if darwin wasn’t enough of a reason to change his ways then their children certainly did the trick. this was the first time in jamari’s life where he had people depending on him, after years of fending for himself and being the only one that had to face the consequences, he now had three, innocent, little lives in his hands that he had to protect. they all think of him as their hero, darwin included, but jamari can’t shake the fact that he still feels like a villain...
as always, if you’d like to have them in your game then check out the download link below, and if not then i hope that you enjoy finding out a little more about them in their fact files!

i hope you’re doing okay!
jamari akers:
what began as taking a tiny crystal from a market stall to give to his friend for a birthday present he couldn’t have otherwise afforded quickly spiraled into an unshakable habit of swiping things that weren’t his - after a while it became less about the monetary value of the items and more about the thrill of the game, but when he realised that there were people out there that needed the money he could get for the items more than he did he became the robin hood of glimmerbrook - take from the powerful and give to the needy, all anonymously, of course
he’s not proud of his past, but the one thing he did take from it was a lot of connections with other spellcasters in the realm - it wasn’t the most noble of approaches to friendship, but he had to get to know his victims before he robbed them; it helped him understand their way of thinking - now he takes the much more civilised route of a fortnightly book club
a really avid reader, even as a young boy he loved story books - he’d imagine himself in each protagonist’s shoes and get lost in their tall tales - he never felt like he could be himself, but books allowed him to shed that uncertainty and become a new person entirely, even if it was just for a chapter or two at a time
darwin akers:
never would have pinned jamari as an underground criminal the first time that he saw him, not that he had a ‘model thief’ to base him off, but still - sure, he had a sort of roguish charm about him, but that didn’t exactly scream ‘i steal things for sport’ - he never asked him to change his ways though, that was entirely jamari’s decision and although he’s very grateful for the fact that they don’t have to run from the law every other tuesday, he is kind of attracted to that bad boy side of his husband
unlike jamari, he always strove to do the right thing - he lived an unassuming life up until jamari sauntered into his potion shop to shake everything up and whilst jamari changed his delinquent ways, darwin came to realise that his life by the rule book had been a rather dull one - he wasn’t exactly inspired to start committing petty crimes, but he did start straying ever so slightly closer to the wild side to spice things up a bit
when he gets invested in something, he practically hands his whole heart over - he doesn’t do things by halves, especially when it comes to celebrations or special occasions - his date nights in particular are not to be missed; after hearing about jamari’s feelings of being an outcast, his heartstrings were tugged on so hard they almost snapped and ever since he makes sure to pull out all the stops to reassure him how much he cares
boston akers:
totally idolises his dads - he picks out clothes in their styles, copies the ways they walk and if he ever gets a good grade at school he races home so that they’re the first people to know about it; their praise means everything to him
it’s not like he goes short of their praise though; they haven’t taught him much magic yet, just the odd training spell here and there, but even in those few lessons they’re both blown away at how quickly he’s able to pick them up
really headstrong - it’s rare that the kids at school ever pick an argument with him because they’ve learnt that he just refuses to back down from his point - if he believes in something then there’s no changing his mind
aimie akers:
super duper shy - she’s practically hanging on one of her dads’ legs from the second they step out of the front door to the minute they get back - daycare drop-offs are an absolute nightmare for them; the first time they took her it was basically lunch time before the teacher eventually managed to coax her away from them
gets on really well with her twin sister, but, even though she’s the oldest, she’s definitely not the one in charge; elsie just bosses her around all the time - in all fairness though, aimie doesn’t really mind it, she kind of likes not having to make the decisions
has a lot of imaginary friends that she plays with - she doesn’t seem shy at all when she’s playing with her toys and babbling away to them, so her parents are fine with it - well, were fine with it, they’re a bit more dubious about how ‘imaginary’ they are now after darwin caught her chattering to her bookcase and a book sliding off the shelf without her touching it...
elsie akers:
what aimie lacks in socialising skills, elsie has by the bucket load - she loves chatting away to her parents and her older brother, but aimie’s still her favourite target because she does the least amount of talking back
insists on counting all of her stuffed animals before going to bed - if they’re not all there then there’s no way she’s even putting her head on the pillow - and besides, what else is she ever going to use that counting knowledge for??
gets caught playing with her dad’s potion bottles at least once a week - she knows now, well and truly, that she’s not allowed to even be in his potion room, let alone touch the bottles because they’re dangerous, but she can’t help it; the colours are just too pretty!
