I needed a break from that WIP I showed in my last post, so I made something I know I needed in my game, pantsless (pantless ?) bottoms for girls (CF). I had a bunch of top-only dresses for them, but not much variety for pantsless shoes. Well, I fixed that, and then some. I separated the adorable t-strap shoes from the Freetime hobby outfit (I hope no one’s done that before, but I googled and nothing turned up) and I made enough recolors to bring it to the round number of....um...oooops....fifty. So much for a quick, easy thing as a break from the WIP(s). EAxis called these ballet shoes, but they remind me way more of the canvas shoes my sister and I got every year for back to school. I de-shined my recolors to lean into the canvas look.
Swatches:
EAxis:
Colorful (black/white and all black not shown):
Fun and Fruity (there’s a striped one too, but it threw off the swatch size):
Feelin’ Fall:
They come with black bike shorts for modesty, or to wear with longer tops. The EAxis and Colorful sets are everyday and formal. The rest are just everyday. There’s no fat morph, since the kid legs are basically the same. CF only, because I don’t have many (any?) CU top-only dresses. If you want them to be CU, it’s pretty easy to do that yourself.

So, it looks like the roaring success of a wedding party added to Brandi’s reputation. You sure you don’t wanna roundhouse kick your BFF Dina there for smooching your firstborn son?
(John Burb – lover of drama, sitter of fences, gossip extraordinaire and never met a dirty joke he doesn’t like – glides by without a word but a mental note to regale his wife with all the sordid details.)
I still don’t know which of the two of them initiated that, but I guess this is what happens when you combine cute blond Fortune sims, one of whom has recently reached an... eligible age?... and our old friend ACR.
Darren had at least five of those six beers, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least. Dreamer, I’m cutting you off!
Time to celebrate the transition of the terrible twins, the perfect ending to this... interesting wedding.
Growing up next to a rain puddle, is it everything you ever dreamed of Skip Jr?
Sadly, it’s also time to say goodbye to the Mortimer Goth cosplay and the buzzcut...
... and hello to... this! I’m pretty sure given he’s Sloppy and Playful, SJ’ll be a Nature sim, so it’s not even like this is hobby-appropriate costuming (it’d be better for his sister, she’s bound to be Sports or Fitness with her personality points).
There’s something so ritualistic about the way they stand around cheering somebody aging, I love it. It’s even better in weddingwear.
I’m also a big fan of how different Skip Jr looks to his older brothers. And this genetic correctness! I’m not sure how we ever put up with the gender-reversed Brandi clone EAxis stuck in the vanilla game. THANK YOU @meetmetotheriver 💟
I’m excited that he grew up well, but scared of what kind of child he’ll be. Nowhere near as terrified as I am re: Suse though.
Darren finally told one dirty joke too many? And in front of A CHILD?! No wonder he and John Burb get along so well.
Beau: Hey I’m gonna be a teenager in like a day, I can take it.
We’ll be the judge of that.
Oh god, I don’t know if I even really want to do this, but here we go.
Yo Bran, when did you change into your afterparty gear? (Seriously, I had no idea she had that maternity formalwear lurking in her wardrobe.)
Susie: *stares at fire* Yes, yes, consume the souls of my nemeses...
Skip Jr: Uh, Mr Dad, I think you’re supposed to put her down.
Beau: This is gold.
Skip Jr: Seriously DreamerDaddy, I really think she’s meant to be on the floor...?
Skip Jr: I can’t watch.
(Legitimately though, at this point I was hiding from the screen and peeping through my fingers to take these screenshots. I love a good glitch, but this was beyond terrifying.)
OH MY GOD.
THEY’VE MERGED INTO SOME KIND OF MONSTER.
Oh thank heavens. I just had Darren do the ‘put Susie here’ action and while her arms did get stuck like this for a while, everything went back to normal and she was a child and not some warped giant baby. Good bloody lord! Darren, had you forgotten how to transition a toddler? Dirk’s not that old!
Hey Suse, you’d better not be hunting bugs just to set fire to them.
Susie: Well I won’t be setting fire to anything if my stupid jar stays this empty.
While I’m kind of loving Susie’s blazer and jeans, gotta get those twins into the colors they were in as tots. It’s my rule! (When feasible.)
Yeah we get it guys, you love each other because you’re both pretty awful. Had enough of this yet Beau?
Beau: Urgh. I’m disappearing into a place where I can control everything, thank you very much. This here dollhouse.
That sounds like a strangely familiar concept.
Ah, back to some semblance of a (relatively) normal life! Skip Jr’s already making good use of those Playful Grouchy traits by beating Beau to death with a pillow, and Susie’s slyly charming her way into an older brother’s affections just as she did with Dustin.
This loading screen will look rather different... imminently. Room for two more?
Oh yeah! Remember Dustin’s strange schoolfriend who marched brazenly into the Broke trailer and randomly picked up and snuggled the twins when they were but babes? Skip Jr clearly does, and now that he can articulate this experience, is telling Beau just how traumatic it was.
Back to plate-making, you! Yes I know you want a vacay, and you’ll get one when you sell several more of these. Also what’s that ‘get caught cheating’ fear? Why is cheating even crossing your mind? You literally just got married and it upped your chem with Daz by one whole bolt – three is the magic number, don’t mess with perfection!
With Susie being an active-grouchy sports lover, I got her a nice Goal of Paul to play with. Of course the first thing she does is stand in it and jeer her brother.
Skip Jr: Listen sis, this is your game not mine.
I’m fine with whatever happens as long as that ball doesn’t hit poor Darleen’s gravestone.
Susie: So what we got going here.
Beau: Well we have this whole saga, see. Shirley here has been struggling with her feelings towards Muriel for quite some time now –
Susie: So she sets fire to Muriel’s hair in a passionate fury and then these two ladies over here come and chop her good with samurai swords to avenge Muriel?
Beau: Uh, no –
Susie: ‘I curse the day Shirley was born!’ ‘As do I, we will demand blood for blood!’
Beau: *sighs* Not really what I was going for. How exactly are we related again?
Susie: This is great! Do you have any of those little green army men? Let’s have them explode the house in an act of WAR.
Oh hi! Tinkering Lady is COOL! Dirk finally bagged the elusive invite to go play with cars and trains and robots. I think he’s our first too.
I am going to aggressively marry her into one of the families at some point, I have to. Boho style, badass purple streak in her hair and pink eyes too? She has it all!
Brandi, that is not acceptable. You have a pottery badge for crying out loud.
Oh okay, you’re going into labor. I suppose that’s a fair excuse.
Even cool Tinkering Lady is running to see the miracle of life!
Darren: Oh, you’re having the babies, love? That’s nice.
THE MOTHERFUDGING VERTICAL RING GLITCH IS BACK AGAIN ON HIS SECOND FRIGGING MARRIAGE
Susie?
Susie: Astarte and Proserpine are busy avenging Muriel and fending off acts of terror, god, leave me alone.
Dirk looks like he’s singing a power ballad and I’m loving it. Meanwhile Beau is like, this ain’t my first rodeo.
Here we go... again. AGAIN.
The cramming into the doorway while Brandi gives birth in the narrowest place in the whole house is a treat tbh.
And here they are! We gots two gals. Not saying they’re not lovely, call me a picky sim breeder but I was expecting them to be... at least S3? The genetics in this game confuse me sometimes.
Speaking of genetics, look at this brown-eyed babe! Take your pick, they could be from Brandi’s dad or either or Darren’s parents. I’ve named them after surrealist artists (because I figured their parents’d be into that), so we have little Frida here...
... and mere seconds younger, her sister Remedios!
As per usual everybody cheers the firstborn twin and poor Remy doesn’t get a look-in. Even Susie dragged herself away from her macabre soap opera to say hi.
Susie: Who run the world? GIRLS! Who run the world?
Skip Jr: Bang bang!
Beau: No. I only have three Playful points. I refuse to engage in your nonsense.
And here are the twin ladies in their matching rubberbabybuggybumpers. Next up, we have our dearest Beau hitting teenhood! I’m gonna miss him as a kid.

All Fired Up 2.0
This set is comprised of several unique stations that change the way fires and fireplaces work within the game. Custom fires along with a global fireplace mod require the wood harvested from The Giving Tree in order to function.
Sims will use a combination of the Firewood Station and Functional Fires to create fires in various fashions to produce warmth and lighting for their homes and will be a source for collecting ashes that will be used in later stations.
Also available is a Functional Fire Mod which is a global mod that effects all EAxis fireplaces and any custom fireplaces made from Numenor’s template. It will make fireplaces require wood and they will burn for a set amount of time. Ash piles will also be produced.
2.0 Version - This version of the All Fired Up set includes all fires being updated to use Seasons EP warmth functions. Several new fires have been added, bringing the choice count up to 44, and a few minor fixes have been made to harvestables. Download underneath or hit the Keep Reading link for more in depth information.
View/Download Everything At The Keep
Download Direct - Firewood Station & Wood Shed
Download Direct - Function Fires
Download Direct - Functional Fire Mod
The Firewood Station allows Sims to process tree logs into smaller portions to be used as a fuel source. It requires at least one log in the Sim's inventory. Sims build Body Skill during use. For use by Teen through Elder Sims.
Body skill requirements are similar to chopping down a tree:
Tier 1: Skill levels 0/1/2 have no ability to split wood, the option will not appear
Tier 2: Skill levels 3/4/5 is slow to split wood with a 35% motive drop in energy, hygiene and comfort
Tier 3: Skill levels 6+ fast and efficient wood splitting with a 15% motive drop in energy, hygiene and comfort
One log will yield one Large Stack of Split Wood which will automatically be placed in the Sim's personal inventory (or business owner).
AUTONOMOUS FEATURE:
Sim's that carry a Wood Axe in their personal inventory can autonomously split wood if they also have any logs in their inventory. The advertising is high to encourage Sims to use the station, however, whether or not the Sim does use the station will ultimately depend on their own needs, interests and personality. A Sim will generally split wood until their comfort or fun motives drop. If the Sim doesn't have any wood he will not "want" to use the station (ie complain about it) and Sims without the axe in their inventory will never want to use the station autonomously.
Sims can use the Shed Converter to not only store up to two Large Stacks of Split Wood, they can also convert Large Stacks of Split Wood in their inventory into 20 Bundles of Firewood. Shed Converter includes pooklet naturals recolors + some painted options (roof and shed subsets). The doors to the shed open and close via a pie menu. Note that the default state of the shed is to have its doors closed, therefore entering the lot may reset them to being shut.
Large Stacks of Split Wood and Bundles of Firewood may also be purchased directly from the catalog. Both items may be used or sold for profit. Note that these items have been cloned on the "Garden Gnome" so that they might be stolen by neighbors under the right conditions.
All items can be found in the Buy catalog under Hobbies -> Miscellaneous
Visible in Hood view. Set is Compressorized. Collection File included.
Functional Fires consume tree branches or split wood as fuel, as well as offer Sims various interactions. There are 8 styles/types in which to choose: Campfires, Fire Pits, Grate Fires, Terracotta Pits/Chiminea, Skyrim Braziers, Skyrim Pits, Tiled Fireplace, and Tinderbox Fires.
ll Functional Fires require either 3 piles of Tree Branches OR 1 Bundle of Firewood in the Sim's personal inventory (or business owners) as fuel. Each fire lasts 8 hours and will produce ashes which the Sim can either "Dispose" or "Collect". Selecting "Dispose" will delete the ashes, while selecting "Collect" will automatically place a Sack of Ashes into the Sim's inventory. This is a deco item that may be used in an upcoming station (Soap Making) or sold for profit.
The fire is "animated" in that there is an appropriate fire fx and light source, as well as the wood burns in stages during the 8 hours. With "moveobjects" cheat fires can be moved or deleted at any time and may also placed on a variety of surfaces. Unlike using the game fireplace, there is no risk of fire to Sims or other objects, so these can be put just about anywhere.
If the decorative fireplace doesn't have a slot for the Functional Fire and it sinks/cuts into the fireplace - you can use OMSP with the Functional Fire. It can also be set on most surfaces/shelves. Note that raising the fire too high will mean the Sim continues to perform animations at ground level. This cannot be changed, but it doesn't alter the performance of the object.
Sim interactions use the game's accessory lighter, poker (except campfires), broom and dust pan; therefore any default replacements used for these items will continue to work for custom functional fires.
Fire Interactions
• Light Fire - Non-Autonomous; Teen through Elder.
• Poke Fire - Autonomous; Teen through Elder; Increases Fun Motive
• Warm Hands - Autonomous; Child through Elder; Increases Comfort, Environment and Fun Motives
• Dispose Ashes - Non-Autonomous; Child through Elder
• Collect Ashes - Non-Autonomous; Child through Elder; Adds a sack of ashes to Sim's personal inventory (or business owners)
Warming Feature
Sims will now autonomously warm themselves by selecting "Warm Hands" or "Poke Fire". They are attracted strongly via comfort, environment and fun motives. Once they approach the fire and perform the animation they'll stand there idling until their blue thermometer turns normal green again. How long that takes depends upon how cold the Sim is to begin, so anywhere from 5 Sim minutes to 45.
Sims will not autonomously use the warm or poke interactions UNLESS:
1) They are actually cold
2) The fire is actually lit
3) There isn't anyone else using it
Sims can also be sent to warm up non-autonomously as necessary. All fires in the set can be used inside or outside to keep the Sims at a normal temperature. Most fires, except the "Grate Fires", are designed to allow multiple Sims to stand around the fire warming themselves.
AUTONOMOUS FEATURE
Sims that carry the decorative Fireplace Poker in their personal inventory will have the autonomous option to Light fires if they also have the appropriate amounts of branches or firewood in their inventory too. For Teen through Elder.
Sims that carry the decorative Broom & Dust Pan in their personal inventory will have the autonomous option to collect ashes when they appear. The sack of ashes will be placed into their personal inventory (or business owner). For Child through Elder. Autonomous decorative Fireplace Poker and Broom & Dust Pan may be purchased from the Buy catalog under Hobbies -> Miscellaneous
• All the fires are shared together in one download. They are sub-foldered by type. Pick and choose which fires you want in your game. Note that several are slaved and their master must be included for recolors:
- Terracotta Pits/Chiminea
- Skyrim Fire Pits
Be sure to also include the ALL FIRES folder since it contains the accessories and tools that every single fire type uses.
• All fire types are recolorable. Their subsets are typically the fireplace, grate, pit, etc. Only the wood/ashes are non-recolorable.
• Every fire type may found in the Buy catalog under Lights -> Miscellaneous
• All items are visible in Hood View
• Compressorized
Functional Fire Mod
This is a GLOBAL MOD that affects ALL EAxis fireplaces and any custom fireplaces created on Numenor's template. In order to "Light" a fire, Sims must have either 3 piles of Tree Branches OR 1 Bundle of Firewood in their inventory for fuel.
Each fire lasts 8 hours and will produce an Ash Pile in front of the fireplace which the Sim can either "Dispose" or "Collect". Selecting "Dispose" will delete the ashes, while selecting "Collect" will automatically place a Sack of Ashes into the Sim's inventory. This is a deco item that may be used in an upcoming station (Soap Making) or sold for profit. The Ash Pile offers the same autonomy feature as the custom Functional Fires. If a Sim carries the Broom & Dust Pan in their inventory they will autonomously collect ashes from EAxis fireplaces too.
While the fire is burning Sims have the usual options to View, Warm and Poke the fire. Also, any issues with flammability or other normal game fireplace features have not been removed.
*This mod is NOT compatible with any other fire mods that adjust the timing length of fire (such as Carrigon's Burn Forever). This mod only affects the "Lighting" and "Main" bhavs of the fireplace globals. It is advised to remove these mods prior to installation of Functional Fire Mod.
To install this mod: Just place the folder directly into your Downloads folder.

The first part is some clothing edits! :)
Skinny Pants with Wingtip shoes
I suddenly fell in love with these shoes, okay? XD So I put them to pants by Kayleigh, with Trapping’s textures (these solid ones) They’re from teens to elders, and they have the appropriate morphs. And you can choose if you want them slaved to the adult version (which is included in both versions) or not. I have no idea where the shoes belong, I chopped them from some bottoms by Trapping, but maybe it’s an eaxis one? Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Download Kayleigh Trapping Pants Wingtips Slaved - Alternate
Download Kayleigh Trapping Pants Wingtips Standalone - Alternate
EDIT: Nekosayuri fixed an issue with the TF mesh, here
Keoni’s Black Hole bottom only dresses shoeswapped (and recolored)
I’ve always loved this dress, but I wasn’t fan of the shoes so shoeswap it is! I used Emma boots by Sentate. And I also added morphs. And I also put some of my favorite Jersey Dress recolors to it (without the sleeves), which makes 8 recolors in total. AF only. That’s it?
Download - Alternate
The next part is coming! :)
