Codex: The Dweller

𖤝 The Dweller often appears in the shadows, in numbers they create a diverse array of folks each unlike another. A mysterious Reaper fulfilling a contract in the dead of night. A durable human testing their everlasting valor for the sake of perseverance. A wolf being undefined by their demons. Two unexpected beings joining together for adventure. The choice knows no bounds in the land of Hallowmire. So, who are you?

Now accepting residents for Hallowmire

𖤝 Hi! After spending fifty years in CAS, it's slowly started to drive me up the wall so I figured I'd double the final codex as a way to collect sims for my project! Details will be under the cut so I don't inflict the text wall of doom for everyone ⋆˙⟡

𖤝 They must fit the steampunk aesthetic. CC is pretty limited so Victorian clothing also works as well! I'm positive I've scoured the entire internet clothing and accessory wise so feel free to go wild with that! I would heavily appreciate if they have outfits in every category 𖤝 However... O_O Minimal skin detail cc (1-2GB) and no defaults please! I have my resources page here for the defaults and skin details I do use. As for sliders, I have all of obscurus and nsw's sliders and a majority of their presets. 𖤝 I own a all EP's. SP, GP's and Kits might be a little tricky as I don't own all of them but feel free to message me 𖤝 Although not required, I'd love to hear a backstory! I've included the codex of other types of occults as those specific three have certain characteristics however with other occults, the choice is yours! They also might have a cameo in the Violet Moon so this could help me understand them as well! 𖤝 There's no deadline and I'll probably keep it open for a good while. I appreciate anyone that decides to send over a sim ;_; <3 Thank you thank you if you do! Immortalis | Hexe | Faerie

Florita shares her story...

Start from the beginning (Gen 2)

Previous | Next

[New Hernandez Home; The Darién Gap, Colombia]

[Antonio explained the situation to Florita and why he needed her help.]

FLORITA: I promise to keep this between us, okay? But I don’t know anything. You’re wasting your time here.

FRANKIE: Nice try. Stop covering for him.

FLORITA: Believe what you want.

ANTONIO: With all due respect, a lot is at stake. It’s not only about my safety or that of the Alegrias and Medinas. The return of Los Venenosos would reignite a cycle of senseless violence.

FLORITA: That’s life.

FRANKIE: How can you say that?! I knew you were cruel, but you can’t seriously embrace that twisted perspective. You appall me.

FLORITA: Most people would choose power and money above all else. That’s reality.

FRANKIE: You’re mistaken. I wouldn’t. Plenty of people wouldn’t either.

FLORITA: Because you are all fools. People like you get taken advantage of. That was never me. And it never will be.

I came from nothing. I started working when I was still a little girl, but it didn’t get me anywhere. Do you know what it’s like trying to claw your way out of poverty while wealthy white people move in, continuously driving prices through the roof? Eventually, I understood... if I wanted out, I had to marry rich.

I saw my opportunity with Teodor, an aspiring businessman with a lot of potential. He had ideas for a grand resort. I married him and had his child to secure my future.

Then Alfonso, his partner, showed interest in me.. and well, that was my chance to aim even higher. He already stole Teodor’s resort plans. What was I supposed to do? Stay loyal to a sinking ship? Pretend love would save us? No.

It’s simple. You either join the ones in power or you get left behind.

You and Frankie had everything handed to you, and you threw it all away. My advice? Disappear and don’t show your faces again.

ANTONIO: We’re not doing that.

FRANKIE: Your trauma doesn’t give you the right to disregard basic decency toward others.

FLORITA: Oh, please. Antonio, how many clients have doubted you before a trial because of your surname? Frankie, how many colleagues have underestimated your intellect due to your heavy accent? Humans are always brutally unfair.

It's been a few days since Solomon accompanied his sister, Antoinette, to see their cousin, Travonte, in jail. Since the visit, Travonte’s voice hasn’t left him. The precision of every detail cuts deeper than Solomon expected. It loops in his mind.

With all that is going on personally and the impending trial for Malia's murder, Rachel picks up on Solomon's energy.

One thing about Mama Rose, [kindly coined by @itmeansiris ] her comfort doesn’t age. She holds Solomon like time never passed, like he’s still five and could melt into her arms without question

Constance Perkins House a cc-free shell by moonwoodhollow This house is among my favourite designs by Richard Neutra, one of the most famous midcentury modern architects, and it's - at least for me - a timeless classic. It only made sense to finally try my hand at building this beauty, and I can only hope I somewhat succeeded.

More screenshots, info + download link under the cut!

building background

This house was born when Constance Perkins, an art historian, commissioned Richard Neutra to design a house for her. Her budget was merely 17.000$, and the lot in Pasadena that she bought was small and on a slope, which made the design process somewhat of a challenge. Perkins and Neutra collaborated on the design, and she had chosen him specifically because she liked his previous work: open spaces, large windows, unpainted redwood or stained pine walls and doors. She "wanted a very small house in which she could live and work, but also a place where she could entertain. These criteria required Neutra to reexamine the familiar single-family home [...] and to rework the conventional patterns of the type." (p. 176)

To get to know his client, "he requested [Perkins] write an autobiography and supply him with a list of "likes and dislikes" on every subject from textures to light levels to colors and smells." (p. 174)

When the house was finished in 1955, the reception was mostly positive and Perkins herself was full of praise: "To me, a truly great architect is not one who merely skillfully manipulates a construction to meet the individual needs of a client, important as these are. He [Neutra] is one who, doing this, also creates an "art object." My home is not just my "machine for living"; it is my environment. Living includes thinking and feeling as well as mechanical existence. Living is a way of life. To be full it needs an environment that pricks every sense with which the human being is endowed, an environment that is specifically ordered to give direction to ordered thought." (p. 184)

- All quotes are taken from: Women and the Making of the Modern House: A Social and Architectural History by Alice T. Friedman

So what do you get?

The Constance Perkins House is a 40x30 residential lot best placed in San Sequoia on the “13 Acacia Avenue” lot in the Gilbert Gardens neighbourhood. It might also look good somewhere else, though.

The house consists of an open floor plan with a living and dining area, a kitchen, and a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There's also a spare room that could be used as a 2nd bedroom or as an office. There's a 2nd bathroom as well. The house has two terraces, one has a pool and is only accessible through the living room.

Uses items from the following packs: looks best with almost all packs, but a tip: take a look at the build in the gallery and click on the packs to see the items I used from that pack, it might also look good with fewer packs.

TOU: Please don’t claim as your own or put behind paywalls etc. If you find any issues please let me know + tag me if you’ll use the building, I’d love to see it in your games.

If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, I have a ko-fi!

Sergio might not have been Alfonso's favorite, but he was certainly Florita's. That made him a useful pawn, though Antonio felt disgusted for thinking that way.

SERGIO: Home not-so-sweet home. I wish Mamá had actually gone through with moving back to the island. I’m over this.

ANTONIO: At least it’s quiet out here. Good place to catch up on reading.

FRANKIE: One would hope the solitude allowed for some long-overdue self-reflection.

SERGIO: Damn, Frankie. This might be the most serious I’ve ever seen you. Where’s the upbeat wacko? You’re making Antonio seem lively.

FRANKIE: Just tell her we’re here. Now, please. I want to get back to civilization as soon as possible.

SERGIO: Relax, this isn’t easy for me either. Give me a second. I’m working up to it.

FRANKIE: What’s on your mind, Toño?

ANTONIO: Just revising everything. I don’t want this trip to have been done in vain.

SERGIO: Mamá, we have visitors.

FLORITA: Oh? Who?

SERGIO: Don’t get mad at me...

FLORITA: That’s impossible, mi cielo.

FRANKIE: I didn’t want to suggest this, but if she won’t cooperate, we should offer her a large check.

ANTONIO: I hate how that’s not a terrible idea...

SERGIO: She’s allowing you two inside.

FRANKIE: Excellent! Wait, did she hear- nevermind.

FLORITA: Frankie. Antonio. I didn’t expect company.

FRANKIE: Nice seeing you, too.

ANTONIO: Doña Florita, thank you for welcoming us into your home-

FLORITA: Cut to the chase. What do you want?

ANTONIO: We’re here about Alfonso. We want to stop him from getting out of prison.

FLORITA: And why exactly would I help you with that? You’re sharing too much with me, don’t you think?

ANTONIO: Since Sergio can’t keep his hands to himself, it’s either his or Alfonso’s freedom. You get to choose. That said, I’d advise against snitching.

FLORITA: Unbelievable. After everything Alfonso has provided for all of us... Fine, take a seat. But who says I know anything useful?

FRANKIE: If you’ve forgotten about your past actions, I’m happy to remind you. Maybe then you’ll feel inclined to make amends.

(e.g. The affair, abandoning Palmira and Teodor, handing Frankie off like property.)

[TRANSCRIPT]

(Bob, Salim, and Vlad are sitting in the studio)

[BOB]: Hey, you’re listening to Real Talk from the Heart with Bob and Salim. I’m here with our first guest, Vladislaus Straud, currently on the press tour for Monster Date Night. 

[BOB]: And we’re about to get open, get honest, and get real with a new segment we’re calling: OC Interview Game.

[BOB]: So, what’s your eye color, man? Like, are those contacts or…

[VLAD]: Do you think me a fool? That I would give in to such a bald attempt to siphon answers from my person?

[SALIM]: I think Bob just means that this is an interview…

[VLAD]: And?

[SALIM]: …And in an interview we ask questions and you answer them.

[VLAD]: Why? You’re not the boss of me. Alice is.

[SALIM]: At your job?

[VLAD]: A job is something someone pays you for, and I do not dream of labor. A boss tethers you to this earth so that your very essence does not disperse into nothingness and your other bodies don’t take over. 

[VLAD]: Also, it’s a sex thing.

[BOB]: Err…is that sarcasm? Do you use sarcasm a lot?

[VLAD]: Do I appear sarcastic, Robert?

[BOB]: Well, no, I just thought…uh…maybe it was a joke. But yeah. Sex is cool. You have to be creative in the bedroom, so I get it.

[VLAD]: I have to behave in the bedroom or Akira won’t put his hands on my—

[SALIM]: Whoa. Okay, well we are way off track, aren’t we, Bob? All we wanted to make clear was that answering questions in an interview is just…part of the social contract.

[VLAD]: You should have led with that. I understand contracts: binding agreements from which you are unable to release yourself from without blood or sacrifice. 

[BOB]: Bro, that’s not a contract.

[VLAD]: I have a proposal. 

[VLAD]: A contract of sorts, if you will. 

[VLAD]: I answer your questions and, in exchange; you agree I can crack open your ribcage and see what’s inside.

[BOB]: What the f—

DULCE: So, what brings you here?

HANAKO: I’m visiting family. My grandparents actually own this shop. Want to try some yakisoba pan? On the house for the woman with a beautiful smile.

[Dulce laughed. Flattery and food! The way to her heart.]

DULCE: Oh, tempting! But my schedule is packed. I’m waiting on some friends so we can head to Shibuya.

HANAKO: Well, if your schedule clears up.. maybe I could give you a personal tour? No pressure.

[Dulce felt a flicker of excitement. Could this be a chance to ease back into dating? She felt ready again.]

[Just as she was about to accept, a man walked by wearing a familiar cologne. The same one that a certain person in mind wore. As a chef with a keen sense of smell, she would know.]

[It was silly, but for a second, she thought the passerby might be him... the guy she knew in Del Sol Valley. The one with the dreamy eyes, great hair, and surprising complexity beneath the surface. Someone she shouldn’t have feelings for...or at least, that’s what she kept telling herself. Things could get so, so weird.]

DULCE: You’re sweet, Hanako, but I think it’s best I say no. I’ve got some things I need to sort through.

HANAKO: No worries! No harm in asking, right? Still, here’s my number if you ever need anything.
