#decadechallenge

[mrssimsvall]

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, but I felt now was a good time to get back into it. I restarted my decade challenge after I lost my last save file, and with all the new packs and updates we've gotten over the last few years, it gave my Sims a little more variety when it comes to dressing for each decade.

In my last play through, I used mods and CC, but my computer got a virus, so I decided to delete everything and play "vanilla." It makes finding pieces that fit the earlier decades a bit tough, but with lots of research and creativity, I managed to give my Sims a full wardrobe.

The first decade in the challenge is the 1890s. This was a pain in the ass, but I lucked out and found as many items as close to decade-appropriate as possible. Thank goodness for the Get Famous pack. Also, the fun thing about the wardrobe for this decade is that you can use it for the 1900s as well. That made dressing my Sims for the turn of the century so much easier.

( I have this family saved to the gallery if anyone wants to download them and get ideas or use them as townies in your playthrough. My gallery name is mrskvall and tags are #decadeschallenge and #1890s)

Everyday: Dress - Get Famous, Hat - Country Living, Gloves - Get To Work, Hair - Luxury Party, Lipstick - Base Game

Formal: Dress - Get Together, Gloves - Base Game, Shoes - Vampires, Hair - Luxury Party, Lipstick - Base Game

Athletic: Jacket - High School Years, Skirt - Snowy Escape, Hat - Paranormal, Socks - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game

Sleep: Dress - Eco Lifestyle, Hair - Base Game

Party: Jacket - City Living, Skirt - Discover University, Boots - Vampires, Hair - Luxury Party, Lipstick - Base Game

Swimwear: Top - Base Game, Shorts - Base Game, Cap - Base Game, Hair - Base Game

Hot Weather: Everything is the same as the athletic outfit, I just changed the color swatches so it looked slightly different.

Cold Weather: The dress is also from Get Famous. The hat and gloves are the same as the Everyday outfit, just in different color swatches.

Dressing the men in this decade was way easier than I thought it would be. Who knew?

Everyday: Top - Romantic Garden, Pants - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Formal: Suit - Vampires, Top Hat - Vampires, Monocle - Get Famous, Gloves - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Athletic: Shirt - Base Game, Pants - Base Game, Hat - Paranormal, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Sleep: Top - Base Game, Pants - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Party: Jacket - Base Game, Pants - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Swimwear: Top - Base Game, Shorts - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Hot Weather: Top - Romantic Garden, Pants - Base Game, Hat - Paranormal, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Cold Weather: Jacket - Vampires, Hat - Country Living, Gloves - Get To Work, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Get Together, Beard - Base Game

Creating a wardrobe for kids, toddlers and infants for this decade was damn near impossible without CC.

Here's what I came up with for a male child. Some of these aren't 100% decade-appropriate, but with limited options, this is what you get.

Everyday: Full Body - Get Together, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Formal: Suit - Holiday, Shoes - Get To Work, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Athletic: Top - Base Game, Bottoms - Journey to Batuu, Socks - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Sleep: Full Body - Parenthood, Socks - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Party: Jacket - Get Together, Shorts - Base Game, Socks, Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Swimwear: Full Body - Seasons, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Hot Weather: Full Body - Get To Work, Socks - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

Cold Weather: Coat - Seasons, Pants - Base Game, Hat - Base Game, Gloves - Seasons, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Journey to Batuu

This is what I came up with for female child Sims. Finding dresses with longer sleeves and hemlines was a challenge, so this may not be 100% decade-appropriate.

Everyday: Dress - Dream Home Decorator, Tights - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Outdoor Retreat

Formal: Dress - Base Game, Tights - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Outdoor Retreat

Athletic: Top - Base Game, Skirt - Horse Ranch, Socks - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Outdoor Retreat

Sleep: Nightgown - Vintage Glamour, Hair - Base Game

Party: Dress - Cats & Dogs, Tights - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Outdoor Retreat

Swimwear: Top - Base Game, Bottoms - Journey to Batuu

Hot Weather: Everything is the same as the Everyday outfit, but with different swatches.

Cold Weather: Coat - Seasons, Skirt - Horse Ranch, Gloves - Seasons, Tights - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Outdoor Retreat

Toddlers and Infants got the short end of the stick. I just gave them these outfits for every category.

Edit: I did go back and add to the toddler outfits to give her a little more variety, but not much.

Toddler: Full Body - Toddlers, Tights - Base Game, Shoes - Base Game, Hair - Toddlers

Infant: Full Body - Base Game, Hair - Base Game

Dressing everyone for this decade was more challenging than the challenge itself haha! I hope as we progress through the century, the outfits will get a little easier. I'm definitely going to have my work cut out for me.

Happy Simming!

Meet The Boudreaux Legacy Generation 1!

Welcome to my Sims 4 Decade Challenge! After years of research and digging through my own ancestral background, I was heavily inspired by the history and the many, many stories of my large family.

Louis and Josephine met during one of Louis’ jobs in the city of Champs Les Sims. Many will say it was love at first sight. Josephine had a line of eligible bachelors at her door but chose Louis. Louis was and still is, charming and a family man. When the two were just 21 (Louis) and 20 (Josephine) years old, they married. Louis’ family wanted to extend the family business to the states due to all the success stories they were hearing from other business owners. Louis and Josephine packed up their belongings and moved to Henford-on-Bagley to start their legacy.

Keep reading for more about Louis & Josephine.

Louis Boudreaux

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy

Traits:

Hot-Headed

Self-Assured

Ambitious

Louis Boudreaux was born in 1869 in Champs Les Sims. Louis came from an upper-class family known for their woodworking and handiness skills. Louis is known for being passionate about things he loves, making him come off as hot-headed, but he’s hard-working and ambitious and nothing will get in his way.

Josephine Boudreaux

Aspiration: Successful Lineage

Traits:

Bookworm

Neat

Family-Oriented

Josephine was born in 1870 in Champs Les Sims. Josephine was one of the highest regarded bachelorettes in Champs Les Sims. She had striking beauty and book smarts which made every man swoon. She spent a lot of time in her families garden reading books or teaching local children how to read.

STATUS : ALIVE BORN : 1860 DIED : - OCCUPATION : CARPENTER

Marcel, son of Firmin and Paulette Charpentier, was born in 1860 in the small village of Henford-on-Bagley, in south of France. Since childhood, he loves walking in the forest and enjoying the silence of nature. His father Firmin being the greatest carpenter in the region, it is quite naturally that he taught his son from an early age to work the wood. Since Firmin's death in 1903, Marcel has done everything possible to make his father proud and continue the family business. Thanks to his talents, the family has been safe from money for many years... He married the daughter of the mayor of Henford, Augustine Levallois, in 1880, who gave him 4 children, Eglantine, Gaston, Fernand and Lucien. The lineage is assured.

✨2009 vs 2019.✨ I was still married in 2009 and struggling a lot with my identity. The picture on the left was from one of the many times I would sneak away to be myself. I always felt shame and guilt for those moments but it was becoming very difficult to suppress who I was. I dreamed of one day having the courage and freedom to live my truth but never believed it would actually happen. . Now, 10 years later, I struggle to remember what life was like before I transitioned. The true happiness I have found by living my life authentically has caused me to forget a lot of what life was like before (that may also be due to old ish age but who’s counting...not me anymore 😝.) . I’m thankful each and every day for this journey! #decadechallenge #transisbeautiful #happiness #authentic #glowup #2009vs2019 #10yearchallenge Repost from January 😘 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WS0F4A48O/?igshid=1h8u8u7yhgzaw

Trans people that do the 10 year challenge are braver than any US Marine.

Josephine has been growing baby number 2! 

Louis has been in a slight panic since they are tight on money. Although he is very hopeful for a boy. He wants help to expand their business in hopes to gain more money. 

Josephine has found this pregnancy to be easier than the first. She has spent a lot of time reading with Sarah by the riverside. (-:

Hey everyone, my hands are a bit tied up this weekend with family matters so I thought it would be fun to do a comparison. I've been using copics since 2010 so I thought it would be fun to show my first piece compared to my latest one. It's crazy to see how you grow as an artist. #starfire #koriandr #dccomics #sailormoon #usagitsukino #copicmarkers #copic #comparison #vs #decadechallenge #traditionalart #drawing #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjV-wIB8KO/?igshid=332qw455hl2o

Decade Challenge!

Seal Rescue Ireland is doing our very own decade challenge and boy what a decade it has been! We began as Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary 10 years ago and started rescuing Ireland's sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. In 2014 our centre in Dingle, Co. Kerry was destroyed by a horrible storm and we made the hard decision to leave and move over to Courtown, Co. Wexford were we rebranded as Seal Rescue Ireland. Ever since then our organization has continued to grow with an increased focus on conservation and education. As our outreach grows the number of seals that need our help grows as well and we would like to take the time to thank each and every one of our supporters throughout the last decade, whether it be a donation, signing up as a volunteer or reporting seals in distress. We are excited to see what the future holds!

Here’s to another decade,

2009 - 2019 redraw 

It’s fun to see how art evolves and changes through time and what stays the same...like never going out of your comfort zone and keeping on drawing girls standing around in blank spaces lmao 

[regalvoid]

2010 - 2019, I’d like to give a special shout out to me for realizing I was trans and another to my support system for letting me start hormones before I finished puberty the first time (they/them)

[nicruto]

2009 to 2019!

Happy new years! I’m thinking about going back and redrawing a piece from every major fandom I’ve been a part of this past decade, so keep your eyes open for that!
