The lights, the lights! :)

Thank you, @deedee-sims for recommending these imposter lights for the buildings on background lots. I'll fiddle around with them a little more, but this is a lot closer to my vision.

Thought I'd throw my sim actors in there for fun.

While taking the last shot, it was easy to grab an update of this one, too. Now closer than ever to merging into one big JRO ball.

I've been working on this lot as a set for the story, along with a couple of others. As the scene involves walking along the city streets, I want a couple of different lots to switch between as I go.

I like this bar and music venue, as it will complement some of Jaxy's dialogue, regarding her sobriety and the importance of music in her life.

The lot is JCR's by @andrevasims, which I've been editing/decorating. I love this lot, as well as many others created by them, especially the urban stuff. I think I'll end up using another for earlier in the scene.

"He got the call from home, and we both slept cuddled into him.

That was the last time."

Yeah, these kicked up legs are perfect.

Ripp had spent the trip up to that point skipping around and calling them "my dearies" and being generally giddy and in love.

I'm not sure if I will use these. It's maybe a touch silly and cartoony for the moment (a flashback to their Three Lakes trip during a conversation that's more sad, wistful, bittersweet), but I do think it's a pretty accurate depiction of Ripp in that moment.

Still working on the lights in the background lots.

There had been a palpable feeling of electricity, something charged between them, flowing through her.

(A remake of this moment from Chapter Thirty-One:)
