I've been gone for quite sometime, due to my new schoolyear... blablabla

anyway I created this project with some other people in the simblr community, it's called Refurbished Sims and will contain all kinds of cc that has been 'Refurbished' most of them are stencil or mask edits.

First up in my Starlight Shores redo called Luxury Shores is the Flying V's Coffeehouse. I added a new lot for it on the shore side of the entry road. It gives you a beautiful view from the top of the cliffs for any pass by or road trip.

There are three parking spaces - use a mod to disable the parking strips - a toilet building on the side and a terrace on the back.

Luxury Shores

so while Rose is putting the pieces of our projects back together I thought I could do something on the more gameplay side. Though Starlight Shores is pretty it is making me crazy on how things are done by EA and all the default lots that are added when EP's are installed. So I thought, why not give it a little bit more star glamour?

will upload pictures along the way, no idea if I'll actually finish it. If not I'll upload the separate lots instate of the save file.

Sorry guys that I've been silent for a while. Rose had a major breakdown due to her allergies and I really wanted to be there for her, so I stayed at her apartment the last two weeks. She's feeling much better now.

Lilly-An's Studio Apartment, most stuff was already there, she only brought the clutter.

[ena-sims-blog]

This is her home, Santo Hill Apartments. It's quite an old building, falls apart here and there and she only has 35 square meters to live in, but it will do.

So this is her, Lilly-An. She's from the Scottish Highlands, where she grew up in foster homes. She never knew who her real parents where, though those pointy ears might be a hint. As she had no long term home, she did not have any long term friends. She banished herself completely and listen to music records in small corners. When one of her foster parents gave her a guitar, it was the happiest moment of her life. She played it till her fingers hurt.

Now that she's 18 she decided to move all the way to Starlight Shores. Her big dream is to become a big musician and play all sorts of instruments.

Oké, as I'm trying to give my apartment that feeling of home, while I'm working on multiple sims projects with Rose and Missy. I thought I should do a little gameplay on the side, just to get my mind of things.

Also going to do things differently this time. I'm starting out with just one sim - kinda like a legacy challenge - and instate of mapping out her life I'll see day by day what will happen XD Her name is Lilly-An McLaud

I'm so exited to announce that together with Missy and Rose, I've started a blog for custom content posts only. the things we create will be posted there + special gifts. we'll also do some projects in the near future which can be downloaded from there.

Anyway, check it out; it's called "As Tall As Lions"

p.s. Rose is creating some nice 'tumblr-warming' gifts

[ena-sims-blog]

[ena-sims-blog]

just need to scream it out for a bit

[ena-sims-blog]

Just spend my whole morning on finalizing the Little Black Book update/fix/final thing, it turns out I've broken the damn thing... no more for to day, to frustrated...

If I had time I would play for a while instate, but no I've to run all kinds of errands, yell to my new houseboss about something and need to phone my work that I can't come saturday afternoon - because my mother is dragging me to this 'nice quality time spending thing'...

[ena-sims-blog]

if I'm stressed out I either look at inspirational things like interior pictures, art, design OR I download a whole bunch of CC, like right now - picture by me, feel free to use it

The Garage of the Johansen Sisters

When they were young their parents died in a car accident, ever since they had been living by their grandmother. It was a happy life on the swedish countryside. But than when she died the bank forced the house and their money. Now Inge and Emilie are on their own trying to build up a new life in the big city.

Since they almost have no money they could only rent a garage from some bloke with a big house who hasn't much money either. Though they tried to make it comfortable by adding things they bought on flymarkets, in secondhand stores or just found somewhere. Inge isn't always happy with this, though Emilie doesn't really seem to care - unless grandma's cat runs away again.

[ena-sims-blog]

these two came up as a result of a story for the garage life challenge on livingsims, though I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with them after this
