#simstober 2024

[esotheria-sims]

I found these extra pics from when I did my Not-so-Simstober 2024 challenge (they're test pics/leftovers for the prompt "Liminal") and felt like they're the perfect segway into my next BaCC rotation. 😏

📢 Yes, you heard that right! New BaCC pics are dropping later today! 📢

P.S. Please ignore the inane content labels on this post. Dumblr hates my blog so I have to err on the side of caution.

Not-So-Simstober: a 31 day sims challenge

The ghost of Simstober past rises again! Dance with 31 Devilish Prompts for each day in the month of October, or simply spread spirit with whichever prompts you please! Let's get ghoulish!

Use one prompt each day in the month of October to create the spooky sims content of your choosing (edits, renders, lookbooks, stories, builds, CC, etc.). Share with #notsosimstober or #simstober so the beloved team @simstober can know they are in our haunted hearts this year (and every year). 🖤

If you plan on creating content that may be sensitive or graphic, you know the drill - trigger warnings, content warnings, and keep those ghastly delights under the "read more" cut!

This year, we brought the prompts out early for those who find the challenge a bit too... challenging. We love a scare, but it's no good if we frighten you off! Your haunted health is everything - put yourself first, ghosts and ghouls! Happy haunted simming!

Not-So-Simstober is a challenge in the spirit of the Simstober challenge, which is currently on hiatus. We highly encourage you to check out former Simstober years for inspiration and some truly phenomenal creations. Should the Simstober team return to simblr, we will gladly pass the baton back and let you all know!

Not So Simstober -- Day 4, Maneater

Her design is inspired by puppycheesecake's cowplant people, but I did try to put my own spin on it.

🎃 Not-so-Simstober 2024 - Day 26 🎃

"Death's Door"

The Moonfeather dynasty is renowned for its exceptional longevity. It is for this reason, perhaps, that when the passing of a family member does occur, it's regarded as a profound tragedy.

The longer the life shared with someone, the greater the pain of saying farewell.

🎃 Not-so-Simstober 2024 - Day 2 🎃

"Nightmare"

Few dare venture near the old cemetery that looms atop the hill. Its soil, tainted and rotting, is said to be cursed by something far older than the graves it holds. Whispers say that the dead do not rest… and when night falls, nightmarish creatures crawl from the fog, waiting for the cover of darkness to roam free.

(Featured location: Haunted Hilltop Cemetery)

A/N - Get it? it's a night-mare! 🐴 I love being literal sometimes, lol. And yes, this is the same spirit that Annika met and vanquished a while ago. But alas, the rumors are true: dead things don't stay dead for long in this place…

🎃 Not-so-Simstober 2024 - Day 5 🎃

"Through the Veil"

Beware the fog that shrouds the old cemetery, for its dense veil never lifts. It coils around the crumbling headstones and crooked trees, silencing every sound and draining the world of color. Like ancient amber, it swallows everything within its grasp, suspending time and space until nothing moves and nothing breathes - only the veil, alive in its eerie stillness.

(Featured location: Haunted Hilltop Cemetery)

A/N - We're back to the cemetery! I honestly had to stop myself from taking all my Simstober pics on this lot, because It's just too perfect for its own good.

I'm working diligently on new BaCC pics!

They're not quite there yet, though, so here are some leftovers from my Not-So-Simstober photoshoots instead. Watcher knows I've got a ton of 'em lying around. 😅

The pics above are extras from the photoshoot I did for Day 26, "Death's Door". I couldn't find a way to fit them into the final photoset, but they're still pretteh & therefore worth posting.
