Christy’s average day as a lifeguard

[windermeresimblr]

Presenting: The Azalea Top

My sim, Mukuge, needed some modern clothes for something, and so I was trawling through the Conversion Catalog before finding the Pullover Dress. Then I thought, “hey, wasn’t this made into a top by someone a million years ago?”

It was, in fact, separated by Irida, as you can see here. However, it wasn’t morphed, and I really don’t like it when clothes aren’t morphed. 

So I bit the bullet and used the Mesh Toolkit to make it available for fit, fat, and pregnant Sims, not just skinny Sims. 

It is for Young Adult and Adult female Sims, has four recolorable channels (the sweater, the blouse, the collar, and the collar placket), and is valid for Everyday, Career, Random, Makeover, and Maternity.

So, caveats and full disclosure: the way the UV is mapped does lead to texture bleeding on pants with certain kinds of belt buckles, patches, etc. I am not good at UV remapping, so I’m afraid I have not actually fixed this. The mesh works best with narrower skirts and pants; otherwise, the sweater mesh clips the bottom mesh and it looks a little weird, like you have the world’s worst static cling. Also, this requires Pets and will conflict with Irida’s original blouse. 

Aside from cropping the images, I have not edited them in any way; what you see is what you get. 

That being said, if you’d like to download it, grab it here!

Christy

[treason-and-plot]

After leaving the swimming pool Roy saunters whistling into a grocery store to buy a packet of cigarettes, a habit he’s all but abandoned in Bridgeport due to Sonia’s ban on smoking within a 2 mile radius of the marital home, but he feels like a cigarette today, partly to celebrate Claudia agreeing to go on a date with him, partly because something about being around his parents has awakened his inner teen rebel. As he approaches the counter his eye is caught by a rack of magazines, and his mood is extinguished like a cigarette under a steel-capped boot. Alex Dumbfuck Douchenozzle Dunlop is on the cover of Time, the caption under his smug, pasty, anaemic face reading: ‘THE ART WORLD’S WHITE KNIGHT’. 

Roy: Motherfucker. 

Cashier: Excuse me?

Roy: I’m sorry. I just ...fuck. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. May I have a packet of  Pall Mall Lights? 

Cashier: Did you ever think about quitting? Because even though you might think cigarettes are helping your stress, they’re really actually contributing to it.

Roy: JUST GIVE ME MY GODDAMN CIGARETTES!

Cashier: You know what? You can go to hell. And get the fuck out of my store before I call the police. Arsehole.

Late Victorian-Early Edwardian Hair (Ladies’ Edition, Part 1)

These are a collection of hairs that I think would suit Sims stories (or other creative works) set between 1885 and 1915. Technically, the Edwardian period ended in 1910, but I extended it to 1915 for symmetry’s sake. Forgive me!

These are not hard definitions for hairstyles, or even terribly historically accurate in some cases. (So many out-of-period bangs! Alas.) However, they capture the “feeling” of the era, in some way or another. Whether it’s the simplicity of 1880s hair, the gradually growing pompadour of the 1890s, the full flower of Gibson Girl hair in the 1900s, or the horizontal emphasis of the 1910s, I think there’s a hair here for any period piece in the era! 

I’ve also tried to find Afro-textured, dreaded, or otherwise non-straight textures for the hairs presented. Everyone deserves to have fun dressing their Sims up in old-fashioned clothing!

Rules: tag ten followers you want to know better!

Tagged by @makerofrunevests. Thank you!

NAME: Ink.

STAR SIGN: Not sure?

HEIGHT: Between 5′8“-9″

WHAT’S YOUR MIDDLE NAME? Regret.

PUT YOUR ITUNES ON SHUFFLE. WHAT ARE THE FIRST 4 SONGS THAT POPPED UP?  Voidfish (Plural) by Rachel Rose Mitchell. New Day by Robbie Seay Band. Hello My Old Heart by The Oh Hellos. Our Word from the 36 Questions soundtrack.

GRAB THE BOOK NEAREST YOU AND TURN TO PAGE 23. WHAT’S LINE 17? Children of Blood and Bone by TOmi Adeyemi. “If it’s bad, Tzain’ll need a warning.”

EVER HAD A POEM OR SONG WRITTEN ABOUT YOU? Actually, yes! @poetryforplebs (I’m not sure if it was Hobbit or Stell) wrote this really cute one.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED AIR GUITAR? I am always playing air guitar, in my heart.

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH? Epcot Ball. (*sighs* Epcot Ball...)

WHAT’S A SOUND YOU HATE + SOUND YOU LOVE? I can’t stand finger nails scratching the ceilings of cars, and I love the sound of rain in the early morning. (gEE SURE WOULD BE NICE IF IT EVER RAINED.)

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? Not necessarily.

HOW ABOUT ALIENS? You know what? Yeah. God made a big, big sandbox, and I have to think he’d want to play in more than just one corner of it.

DO YOU DRIVE? Yes.

IF SO, HAVE YOU EVER CRASHED? Nope.

WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ? And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. A reread , because my mom wanted to try the book, and I wanted to have some of the details fresh in my mind for discussion.  

DO YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE? No.

WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW? The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I liked it.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OBSESSIONS RIGHT NOW? Napping.

DO YOU TEND TO HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE YOU WRONG? As a Christian, I shouldn’t. But I’m like a big, grumpy sponge, who naturally just soaks grudges or hurt feelings right up.

IN A RELATIONSHIP? *mad laughter*

I’ll tag @peggytheheadsmasher , @jhawkgirl, @@mygoldenwolf,  @athenenoctua9, @windsroad, and anyone else who is interested!
