Welcome to Willow Creek!

After years of touring the country, aspiring talk show host Katrina and jazz musician Flamenco Caliente have decided to settle in Willow Creek for a while. Their daughters, Nina and Dina, need stability, and the constant ups and downs of their parents’ relationship—and their life on the road—haven’t been helping. Though different as night and day—Nina is neat and sports-obsessed; Dina is a messy chocoholic who loves cartoons—the twins are inseparable; and despite everything, they know one thing for sure: no matter what, they will always have each other.

Hi everyone! I just recently noticed I hit over 500 followers collectively over my s2 and s4 blogs ayyyyy. So, to commemorate, and to thank you guys for sticking around (seriously why), here’s my first Sims 4 CC upload ever. 

Body hair overlays as ankle tattoos, so they can be layered with actual chest tattoos, scars and other CC without compromising hairy-chested sim goodness. Part 1 of this project: All of @luumia body hair overlays + @xldsims recolors! They’re found in the leg tattoo category (right ankle) and all come with custom catalog thumbnails.

DOWNLOAD THEM HERE! (SFS). (Archives were zipped on a Mac, so just delete the _MACOSX file and place them in your Mods folder).

And here’s the best part! They’re 100% compatible with some of your favorite chest tattoo CC, such as:

@trillyke collarbone tattoos.

servobride/gohliad’s problem child tattoos.**

servobride/gohliad’s alien mask tattoos.**

@cabsim reupload of dibellahsims stretch marks (cause guys get those too).

@simreaper​ top surgery scars.

@chocolatemuffintop​ nude valentine tattoos.

@nenps skyrim face scars.

@luumia and @xldsims chest tattoo body hairs (stack them in case you’re into borderline werewolves) luumia’s here // xld’s here.

**Didn’t realize I used 2 unavailable pieces of cc for the previews, btw. Sorry about that. But there’s so much awesome cc out there! So go on, venture deep into Lana’s CC Finds and have fun giving your now 20% manlier™ sims all the chest tattoos, scars, etc! They’re enabled for male teen-elder, but I added a custom catalog thumbnail to the female ones as well in case anyone enables their CC for all genders :) I hope you guys will enjoy my little thank you gift! Oh, and if you download and use my cc please tag me if you’d like :) 

Part 2 (WMS colors) COMING SOON!

Day 09 - Jasmine.

Jasmine is the national flower of Pakistan. Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers. They are often strong and sweet scented. Some species are used to make tea infusions, special oil, perfumes or incense. Women, especially from Asia, sometimes wear the flowers in their hair. The jasmine is associated with love, beauty and sensuality.

Day 08 - Sunflower.

A common misconception is that flowering sunflower heads track the sun across the sky. Although immature flower buds exhibit this behaviour (heliotropism), the mature flowering heads point in a fixed (and typically easterly) direction throughout the day. Sunflowers are symbolically tied to happiness, positivity and a long life.

Day 07 - Daisy.

Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Bellis is Latin for "pretty" and perennis is Latin for "everlasting". As a sacred symbol to the Norse goddess Freya, the daisy is a symbol of love, sensuality, and fertility. The daisy also symbolizes the aspect of motherhood and childbirth in association with Freya, which carries on the theme of unblemished youth.

Day 06 - Cactus.

Cacti produce spines, always from areoles. Spines are present even in cacti with leaves. Like their spines, cactus flowers are variable. All cacti are flowering plants, meaning every kind of cactus is capable of blooming upon reaching maturity. Flower colors range from white through yellow and red to magenta. The beautiful flowers usually bloom for about eight hours and last only a couple days.

Day 05 - Primrose.

The primrose is distinguished from other species of Primula by its pale yellow flowers produced singly on long flower stalks which are covered in rather shaggy hairs. The primrose can mean bashfulness and inconstancy.  It also can refer to young love as well as neglected merit. However, the most popular meaning for primrose is “I can’t live without you”.

Day 04 - Snapdragon.

Snapdragons have been associated with magic since ancient times. Colors in and of themselves were thought to contain magical properties. In the language of flowers, snapdragons are said to represent both deception (perhaps tied to the notion of concealment) and graciousness.

Day 03 - Dahlia.

The dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963. They were used as a source of food by the Aztecs, and were both gathered in the wild and cultivated. The indigenous peoples variously identified the plants as "Chichipatl" (Toltecs) and "Acocotle" or "Cocoxochitl" (Aztecs). Their symbolism varies depending on the flower’s color, but some cultures use the dahlia to represent diversity since each petal fits seamlessly into the whole head.

Day 02 - Poppy.

Poppies are herbaceous plants, often grown for their colorful and attractive flowers. They have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death. In Greek and Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Poppies used as emblems on tombstones symbolize eternal sleep. A second interpretation of poppies in Classical mythology is that the bright scarlet color signifies a promise of resurrection after death.

Day 01 - Buttercup.

People sometimes hold a fresh buttercup flower under the chin. If a yellow reflection from the flower's shiny petals can be seen, the person is said to "like butter". This custom is still taught to young children and shows how buttercup petals reflect light. They make people look pretty.

The buttercup’s shiny petals have an extremely thin outer layer. It contains a yellow pigment under which is an air chamber. This layer acts as a thin optical film. As the cell layer is very smooth, thin optical interference occurs and the reflected colours merge. This creates a white sheen which makes the petals seem glossy. This kind of thin pigmented film is unique in the world of plants. Butterflies use similar structures to produce colour – as do some birds – but buttercups are the only known flowers to do so.
