🎃☀️🎃🌙 Dead Ringer ☀️🎃🌙🎃

Hi @baby-bloos!! I was your Secret Skeleton this year! Wrote you a little something spooky in the Sleuth Jesters universe, I hope you enjoy!!

Tagging @naffeclipse and @sunnys-aesthetic since it's y'alls au/aus (if that wasn’t okay please let me know!), I hadn't read Sleuth Jesters prior to making this, very much enjoyed what I did get through before I started writing, hope I did your characters/story some justice! 

I made a few little tweaks to stuff just to fit more with the storyline I was going for (the characters are the same, just some small plot things are adjusted) but obviously Sleuth Jesters and the Detective Au belong to the respective lovely people mentioned up above ^-^

Small content warning for a tiny bit of blood mentions and oil protrayed as blood mentions, nothing super major, just adding to the overall spooky vibe.

Had to post solely on Ao3 for better readability (she got long lol), have fun!

Word count: 8313

Talking about the story under the cut (slight spoilers)

I hope you like it Bloos!!! And again hope I was able to give SJ & the Detective au the spotlight they deserve >_<

Was very nervous to post this ngl 😅 but I like how it turned out! I'm a big fan of the murder mystery trope and couldn't help but incorporate it into my gift :)

I think I’m cursed with never being able to finish a line up

Anyway fun to compare my first to latest attempt at a line up

[lonewolflupe]

Vooooooooood this is so kriffing good!! I'm crying over Gregor's sparkling bum, what a great addition 😂 How will this continue/end..?

Very excited about CT-9075's stealth reports (please read the ALT texts, everyone!) and the mysterious holographer.. I have a feeling they'll be striking again in a few hours 👀

The “Flirtation Mask” Wars, Round…4?

Commander Mayday seems to be distracted with some sort of weird side quest, and Jedi Padawan + Wingwoman-Extrordinare Eo has “accidentally” given Archer a double drink (though it looks like she’s switched to tea now). Gregor’s been subtly trying to attract their attention, and osik’s about to get real.

Even during 79's GAR Goth Night, the power of the flirtation mask is strong! Archer and Gregor engage in a time-honoured, traditional battle where the flirtatious vibes of glowing HUDs are their greatest weapons.

Gregor, however, has a secondary weapon at the ready if Archer begins to gain the upper hand. His sparkling shebs are being held in reserve just in case, though it looks like the Twi'lek at the bar might still be side-eyeing the sparkly display and preparing an attack of her own!

Who will gain the victory in this intense battle? What can Archer do to even the odds in the face of those glittery glutes? What are the rules of engagement? How does this even end (low batteries?)?

Stay tuned to find out! 🤣

Continuing theft of @eobe GAR Goth Night tag list!

Astarion Rewritten Outlaws Au Lore Dump

(gonna give a little content warning before you start reading because this does go over some heavy topics. Basically Cazador coded abuse, heavy manipulation, canon-typical trauma, process of inflicting scarring, character death... If that’s not something you wanna read I’d stop here and scroll.)

HERE WE GO.

Backstory⬇️

Astarion has no papers—no birth certificate, no record of citizenship, nothing. That wasn’t always the case. But after Cazador pulled him out of prison with a forged pardon, he ensured every trace of Astarion’s true identity was erased. With his wealth and connections, it was easy for Cazador to bribe officials and have the original records destroyed. Astarion became a ghost in the system—a body without a name, as if he had never existed at all. Astarion having no proof of citizenship means he can’t appeal to the law. He’s not a person in the eyes of the state—he’s property of Cazadors.

Cazador saw potential in him right from the start, because Astarion was beautiful. Striking. The perfect doll for his high-end parlor house. All Astarion had to do was endure what came next. A test. Proof that he was worthy of serving Cazador, that he could properly atone for his supposed crimes. After all, Cazador had bailed him out, hadn’t he? Spent a small fortune, pulled strings, gone through great effort just to see him freed. He had saved Astarion from the miserable life he’d known before—given him a new purpose, a place, a reason to be wanted.

And so, Cazador marked him. A ritual of scarification, done with meticulous care and deliberate precision. His initials “CS” etched into the skin of Astarions back.

When it was over, Cazador tended to him with soft hands and quiet praise, barely heard over Astarions sobs.

In his eyes, Astarion had passed.

The Parlor House was a gilded cage, draped in silks and perfumed with expensive scents to mask the stench of sweat and desperation. A place where men and women of status indulged in pleasures with no consequence, where Cazador’s spawn were paraded before them like prized animals. The moment Astarion was brought upstairs, cleaned and dressed in whatever finery Cazador saw fit, his life was no longer his own.

But Cazador’s empire was built on more than just flesh. His influence spread far beyond the parlors walls, weaving into the underbelly of the city. Hidden among the pleasures the spawn were forced to provide was another service: ensuring Cazador’s clients got hooked on more than just their bodies. The spawn were tasked with discreetly dealing with his supply, slipping small doses of a potent, addictive substance onto eager tongues, ensuring that patrons return.

Every time Astarion tries to imagine a life outside the parlor, he remembers: no name, no coin, and nowhere to go. And worse—if he runs, there’s a bounty waiting to be reinstated, and a dozen corrupt lawmen ready to drag him back… or bury him in the desert. But then again, prison treated him better than here. Alas even if he wanted to, there were always guards posted at the doors, watching.

Sebastian—young, kind, and foolish—had offered to help. He was a regular at the parlor house, one of the few who saw past the makeup and charm to the hollow ache beneath. He promised Astarion money, a train ticket, a way out. Safety. And asked for nothing in return.

Cazador found out.

Sebastian disappeared not long after, and no one asked questions. But Astarion knew. He knew because Cazador put the gun in his hand, pressed a finger over his own, and pulled the trigger.

“You belong to me, boy.”

Astarion wished that was the end of it. But it wasn’t. That same night, Astarion was dragged from his room and taken to the outskirts of the city. Cazador didn’t scream. He didn’t strike. He just watched as his men forced Astarion into a narrow wooden box and shut the lid. They buried him 6 feet, leaving only a narrow pipe for air.

He stayed underground for two full days.

By the time they dug him up, Astarion was barely conscious—starving, dehydrated, broken. From that day forward, he never dared speak of escape again.

Cazador made sure of it.

He had Astarion’s entire back redone, claiming the scars had healed too cleanly, too neatly. Adding additional lines to his artwork, a punishment for Astarions misbehavior. This time, he packed the fresh wounds with ash, ensuring the marks would stay—sharp, raised lines etched into his skin, permanent. And, as always, he was tender afterward, sitting beside him with a damp cloth and that infuriatingly soft voice.

“If only you’d stop acting out,” he murmured, gently dabbing at the angry red flesh. “We could be so happy. A real family. Don’t you want that, my boy? To be treated well? You’re the one making this so difficult. You bring these punishments on yourself. I only ever do what’s necessary.”

The scars stayed, just like he wanted—crisp, deliberate lines that pulled taut when Astarion moved or stretched.

Years later.

Business had been slow at the parlor, which meant the favored spawn were allowed outside for a bit-to lure in the rich types passing by. Of course, they were never alone. There was always an assigned escort hanging back, watching from the shadows, making sure no one tried anything stupid like running.

Astarion had been playing by the rules for a while, his back nearly healed from Cazadors last punishment. So he’d been rewarded with a little taste of freedom more or less. He was out there, mid-conversation with some pompous noble- laying on the charm, smiling enough to draw them in- when suddenly all hell broke loose. Screaming, people running, complete chaos.

And Astarion? He didn’t think twice. He bolted. Took his shot in the midst of everything, if he got out of the escorts line of sight and vanish in the crowd, he could finally be free-

One moment, he’s sprinting for his life- the next, everything went black.

(I will be nice to Astarion from now on.)

Sauna Wood Stove (lamp)

& BV Sauna recolors

Download: SFS | BOX

Recolors for Bon Voyage EP sauna make the original electric heater invisible, so you can put the wood burning stove in its place.

⚠️You'll need to place the 'stove' on a walk through block OMSP, to avoid issues. Stove doesn't block Sims from accessing sauna when placed in a corner, but the sauna entrance may disappear at some point if a floor object is placed nearby.

*You can choose recolors without OR with envcube (shine) mask - a feature of Extended Standard Material Shader edit by @crispsandkerosene

*Stove emits faint reddish light (fireplace light) - if you'd like it to be brighter, you can easily change the settings using SimPe.

Thanks for giving me the idea to make this object @episims :)

*This is for The Sims 2

Stove can be found in Appliances/Misc for 350 S.

Decorative sauna thermometer found in Electronics/Misc for 15 S

Stove was cloned from CS stone moai lamp, it has fire effect playing when it's on, but it doesn't cause fires.

Sauna interior heater shadow is visible in walls-up view - I created a texture replacement for it. It removes the shadow underneath the heater:

Above, left - original recolor + shadow default.

Above - three recolors on the left use envcube mask. The effect is quite subtle, mask makes the shine grainy and resembles metallic finish. All recolors make use of specular map texture included with the mesh object, and I used the same texture as additional envcube mask.

If you use these recolors without shader edit, the shine is much stronger.

Specular map functionality has been 'rediscovered' by CandK, it doesn't require any mods.

Eo: Vod, I think Captain Gregor is waving at you? Is your HUD light charged for your next round? Archer: Uh-huh...😎
