8 Landscape Backdrops for Photo Studio

My previous set of formal backdrops became quite popular, so I decided to make more! Today I uploaded a new set of landscape backdrops to my main blog.

These are sceneries from destinations within the game, Selvadorada, Cavalier Cove, Del Sol Valley and Oasis Springs. They work well with the method explained in my old video (please see blog for link).

The Free Will Show - Day 11

Good morning! A new FREE WILL SHOW episode was uploaded last night to my YT channel. This is a show where each episode is another day/year, contenders go by free will and the last standing person wins the house and becomes a resident of my Region 12. Four red lamps (see graphics) means getting kicked out. The series involves audience voting on the daily Activity and Social.

In this episode they got more social than normal, and of course I add subtitles to those conversations. Guess whether they debated Eco lifestyle or not, this time around? :)

And here’s the direct video link. More details in the video description.

Enjoy!

Download: 8 Victorian Backdrops

Here’s another set of 8 backdrops for your Photo Studio! These Victorian landscape paintings make the perfect background for traditional formal photography. Did I hear royalty or nobility? Well, any pro Photographer should offer these when someone, regardless of family background, requests a classic portrait!

This set should work fine with close-ups and couples, too. On my main blog you will find all my previously released sets - this is part 3.

Thanks to Brindleton’s own Duchess Claudine de Cavalier, who was sporty modelling for this release! Who would guess this woman is already 73?

Go grab on my main blog!

Dusty Turf Bazar

This is probably Oasis Springs’ oldest community lot, actively run for about 180 years. In the past the outdoor stalls were the busiest part, but nowadays the expanded facility is home to 6 indoor businesses. Just like an old fashioned shopping mall :) The entire complex is owned by Landgraab Trades, Inc.

Donnersmalt Liquor Store is one of the district’s oldest businesses, and is owned by The Verde Trust. This business is the reason why Baron Auphor Saxor of Verde recently met with Malcolm Landgraab, CEO of Landgraab Trades, Inc.

3 of the 6 stores are rentals, and the latest addition is Needle & Thread store, offering yarn, sewing machines and other crafting appliances.

More pictures and text on my main blog :)

Bored with the white ceilings? Thanks to online tutorial, I created a set of 9 wooden alternatives.

This is a replacement, and you can only use 1 of the 9 files in your mods folder at the time. The selected replacement will affect ALL rooms in ALL houses, so I tried to choose rather neutral designs. They might not be perfect, but adds the illusion of a wooden ceiling :) The 9th version is for acoustic rooms, but looks good elsewhere, too, and if you play like me you focus more on the sims and furniture than the ceiling, anyway. Good for photo shots and story telling, though.

Here is a short video showing the 9 alternatives in game:

Gloom District Order Gala Dinner

The annual gala event takes place at Umbrage Manor every Spring, and this years event will be featured in the upcoming season 2 closing episode of my ongoing As Sims Go By video series (to be released in a couple weeks on my youtube channel).

Baron and Baroness of Gloom are hosting the event, and the guest list is very limited as each district order allows for maximum 8 members.They are invited to bring a spouse or other company, but as the event is annual, and some are member of multiple orders, not all will attend every year. For this event the hosts’ main heir, Lord Edward is missing because he is busy studying at University.

I just put together an article debating rules and etiquette for these gala events. Gala is not just gala, you should also consider your rank as a guest - and a lot more! You can read it all on my main blog.

Breaking: New Baron of Verde found!

So, there has been a trial ongoing in Region 12 Court House. Malcolm Landgraab accused the Royal Chamber for picking the wrong successor to the Barony of Verde 50 years ago, claiming his late father would be first in line. But things did not turn out like Malcolm hoped, and now the correct Baron of Verde has been found!
