[tiallussims]

Hell, yeah!

As soon as I saw the Wasteland Devils Collection by @aniraklova and @crazy-lazy-elder-sims, I had to put some pieces on Miss Hell. Suits her, don't you think?

Pride Month Selfies

Count Vladislaus Straud | Panromantic | Asexual

It's that time of the year again: Happy Pride Month! This year, I don't have many new LGBTQIA+ Sims to introduce to you, but they deserve recognition, too. I already introduced Vlad's older self from Malachai's Maze last year. His younger self from Forbidden Fruit is confident or rather vain enough to pose with pride makeup on and be precise about his romantic and sexual attractions.

15 OC Questions: Caleb Vatore

Shortly after @glammoose tagged me, @bakersimmer tagged me, too. This time, Caleb will answer the questions.

Are you named after anyone? My middle name Vittorio was chosen for one of my ancestors. He is said to be the founder of our family over at Brindleton Bay.

When was the last time you cried? I have been crying so much over the past few months I lost track.

Do you have kids? No, not yet.

Do you use sarcasm? Only with people who understand I am being sarcastic.

What is the first thing you notice about people? How firm their handshake is if they do shake my hand. If they wear rings, bangles, or a watch. Their voice. How they smell.

What is your eye color? Blue-gray.

Scary movies or happy endings? Scary movies, absolutely.

Any special talents? I know how to use echolocation.

Where were you born? San Myshuno.

What are your hobbies? Swimming, cooking, and playing the piano.

Have you any pets? Unfortunately not. But I would love to have a dog.

How tall are you? 1,79m

Favorite subject in school? Computer Science and music.

Dream job? Since I do not want others to get away with murder, district attorney. Keep those vigilante jokes to yourself, thanks.

Townie Makeover: Young Jacques Villareal

As some of you might know I have two story ideas I put on indefinite hiatus for now. Since I have no problem messing up EA's timelines, here's younger Jacques from my second story idea Forbidden Fruit.

Jacques Villareal, alleged crime lord, widower, and single father of three. Best buddy of businessman and founder of Straud Pharmaceuticals Count Vladislaus Straud. Lately, both are often seen at Oasis Springs's new hot spot: Lord Vaughn's Solar Flare.

CAS close-up and lookbook under the cut.

Jacques Étienne Villareal

Dear @rainymoodlet I hope you don't mind that I took inspiration from your Jacques and added a small scar on mine.

Bold The Facts

What's this? A post? It seems like it. @madeofcc tagged me to do the Bold the Facts game. I thought, why not? I'll be back hiding in the shadow again, lurking, indulging in your creativity. The Rules are simple! Tag people and name a character you want to know more about! If you want to let the person you tagged decide who to showcase, then don’t name a character and they can pick somebody. Easy! The person who is tagged will then bold the remarks below which apply to their character &, if they want to, include a picture with their reply!

Happy Belated Birthday, Vatore Twins

Lilith Vatore & Caleb Vatore | October 12 | Libra

Lilith and Caleb have been celebrating their birthday together as long as they live. Now that both of them have a family of their own they see no reason to change that tradition. Another tradition they won’t change is that each twin gets their own birthday cake and Lilith, as the older twin, gets to blow out the candles on hers first. Back row: Lilith Vatore, Fuifui Vatore, Caleb Vatore, Penny Pizzazz Front row: Makani Vatore, Celina Vatore, Mahina Vatore

PS: I’m sorry for the radio silence. I barely have time to open the Sims at the moment and if I do I spend more time getting this lump of code running than playing. I guess I’ll patch so I can update my mods. 😭

[tiallussims]

The Saint And The Sinner

Somehow I missed @Tzuhu ‘s My Angel poses back in May. O.O How? I found these on Sunday when I was looking for eerie mermaid poses for Kaimi. You know those luring you into your inevitable doom at The Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea kind of poses. If you know some fitting poses btw. drop me a line. But I digress. Sorry. Anyway, as soon as I found these poses two thoughts popped into my mind:

The song The Saint and the Sinner by AViVA

And the couple I associate the song with: Darnell and Caleb

Since Sims decided to act like a prick every time I want to run it, I just did some test shots. You know, to set up lights, find interesting camera angles, a fitting gShade preset, all that boring stuff. This shot is my favorite so I decided to edit and post it. Btw. taking posed pics without T.O.O.L becomes a pain in the neck real fast.

[tiallussims]

Did anyone say fangs?

The best way to start your day off? Seeing fresh @wistfulpoltergeist stuff in your inbox. Yet another piece that will become a staple in Darnell's wardrobe. Thank you Wistful for haunting my inbox today. 😘

Happy Birthday, Vladislaus

Count Vladislaus Straud IV | February 13 | Aquarius

Fun Fact: According to statistics, a lot, if not even the most, Friday the 13th fall on February 13.

[tiallussims]

I know that's not how a hiatus works. I know I said I won't return until I deep-cleaned and rebuilt my mods folder. On the other hand, I have always been like that overexcited child that made something awesome and has to show it to everyone right now here. So enjoy some more tweaks on Forbidden Fruit's Vladislaus Straud. Although you'll never see this detail on average-sized screenshots, @pralinesims Pale Secret facepaint eyes over the game's default glowing blue vampire eyes look really neat and creepy.

See ya.

What do you do if you can't remove Vlad's manicure with the help of a cheat or MCCC? You make the best of it. So have Vlad flipping the birdie to his best buddy. After all, what is Jacques going to do about it? Threaten the most powerful vampire?

[tiallussims]

15 OC Questions: Orestes Matthias Theissen

The third person who tagged me was @nilonne.

Do you have kids? I have six children. Five of them have already passed away.

What is your eye color? Brown.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings.

Any special talents? I can smell garlic from a mile away. No, just kidding.

TiallusVampires: Moira's Dark Form

I'm back. (...) Baddest witch in town You won't see me bow I wear the crown I wear the crown Rosey Reign - Baddest Witch in Town

With Moira Hemlock's badass attitude, even cute poses like those from MoC's Female Pose Pack #22 look threatening.

@rainymoodlet wished for more dark forms on their dash. Immediately, my brain came up with a hilarious idea that needs some setup, though. Until then, you may look forward to more dark forms of #TiallusVampires.

15 OC Questions: Darnell Sartorius

I have been tagged by three of my usual suspects. @glammoose was the first one who tagged me, so here's your post.

Are you named after anyone? I had the opportunity to begin again when I was turned, so I chose a new name unrelated to anyone I knew for a clean slate.

When was the last time you cried? When Caleb proposed to me.

Do you have kids? No. Honestly, I can't see myself as a father. (Pauses) Right now. I don't know.

Do you use sarcasm? Depends on how much I despise you.

What is the first thing you notice about people? Their hands, their shoes, and their body language. Oh, and their manners. Honey, you can’t buy manners or taste.

What is your eye color? Brown.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings, life is frightening enough.

Any special talents? I can make sure you will be feeling different after you have met me.

Where were you born? That place does not matter to me anymore. So it is Forgotten Hollow.

What are your hobbies? I love to play the violin. Other than that, I love to educate myself further.

Have you any pets? Pets are not allowed at the apartment building we currently live at. Furthermore, I do not know if a pet would be compatible with my lifestyle.

What sports do you play/have played? I exercise to keep fit, but nothing special.

How tall are you? 1,82m

Favorite subject in school? Ugh, do not remind me of school. I hated going to school. I loved going to college, though. It was not as suffocating as the schools I went to were.

Dream job? I love my current job. But maybe acting?

Happy Halloween!

Have fun and stay safe while trick-or-treating tonight. Penny and Caleb volunteered to take all of the Vatore children trick-or-treating this year. Celina’s favorite show right now is Scooby Doo and with the help of her cousins Mahina and Makani she convinced Penny to make the entire Mystery Inc. squad cosplays last minute. Caleb: “Don’t even dare to ask, Penny. I’m not doing Scooby.”

I’m kind of sorry I only have this single edit for Halloween this year. But hey, I had eerie and sexy edits troughout October and the Saint and Sinner pictures are still to come. 😀 As well as all of the Sages’s portraits as single edits. I treated you well nevertheless, I guess?
