Hi Esotheria, can you help me finding small witchy zombie-related knickknack deco for shelves and bookshelves? Asking this for some of my normal Knowledge Sims with high interest for paranormal stuff, so I want to decorate their rooms with occult-related deco.

Hi there! I don't have much zombie-related clutter, but I can help with the witch side of the ask! ^^

Buyable Reagents mod - so that even your non-witch sims can have reagents as deco. Best combined with Pineappleforest's reagents default replacement!

Buyable AL witch stuff by Hugelunatic (the little witch statues could probably work as shelf deco?)

Extracted in-game magic clutter (wands, crystal ball, books, witch hats etc.) by Shastakiss

3t2 Supernatural conversions I and 3t2 Supernatural conversions II by Shastakiss

Gargoyle statue, spellbook, and jars by Chimerical (reuploaded by theatticbox)

Extracted TSM books and potions by lmhwjs (I love those old books so much!)

Steampunk conversions by lmhwjs (linked mostly for the quill and parchment deco that comes with the set; I use it on my witches' desks all the time!)

4t2 Sabrina clutter set by Nikaonishko

TS4 to TS2 Realm of Magic deco by Gryning (the set contains a tombstone that might also be suited for your zombie clutter needs!)

4t2 Witchy clutter by Limonaire

Various Harry Potter conversions by Decat

Various 4t2 objects by Decat

Realm of Magic conversions by Decat

Witchy goodies by Deatherella

4t2 Paranrormal Helping Hand deco by TheNinthWaveSims

I also recommend you check out all past supernatural/magic themes that were running on GoS! ^^ To name a few:

2022.07-08 That 70s Theme & Eye of Newt

2021.09-10 Baby On Board & In the Mausoleum (also for zombie-related stuff)

2020.05-06 HomeCrafter & Tea with the Queen

2019.09-10 Farm to Table & Danse Macabre (also for zombie-related stuff)

2015.07 - Fairy Tale & Fantasy

2011.06 - Magic and Fantasy

2009.10 - Halloween! (also for zombie-related stuff)

Hope this helps a little! ^^

Wcif the puzzle and the little shroom instrument from your posts? they're so cute!

Hi! :)

This little mushroom xylophone is by chimercial/@theatticbox and you can download it here. It's part of the Seedling Plansim Nursery set.

The puzzle (I wish I had a better picture) is an Animal Crossing conversion by @decat2, made fuctional by @rockethorse. You can download it here.

[decat2]

Hey Decat!

Did you ever find a 3t2 conversion of the model train set from this post of yours? Probably a long shot since it’s been a few years but thought it was worth an ask!

TIA!!

That was converted by Chimerical (@theatticbox), but I can't remember if they ever shared it publicly, so... here you go: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4282399/

I just double-checked, and you’re right. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll edit my original post to address this as well.

Sooo many replies

For @klmt1, @esotheria-sims, @theatticbox, @niamh-sims, @julsfels, @scribblessims, @meryses, @scibirg, @dramallamadingdang

Omg I love the job description.

Same here, I think Morganna’s Default Replacement careers are just the cutest. And considering how MUCH text is required to make even a single custom career...it’s very impressive that they are all fun and unique. 

esotheria-sims replied to your photo “Lol, this household keeps me guessing, that’s for sure. ”

So Ambrose has a thing for ladies of a certain age, huh?

I’m not sure if it’s ladies of a certain age or just ladies in general, lol! He still wolf-whistles every time he sees Joan, but this is the first time I’ve seen hearts appear for him! Hey, I’m down. She’s a widow and they could both use love ;)

theatticbox replied to your photoset “Paying respects to the god of warriors and to those lost in battle. ”

I adore your church building. You did an amazing job with it!

niamh-sims replied to your photoset “Finally adding our final place of worship in Dallùbach, the Cathedral...”

Beautiful build! When I first saw it, I thought it looked a bit like my ‘Church of the Watcher’, but not quite! At last your higher classes will have somewhere to mingle!

Thanks guys! Yes, I wasn’t aware until I saw them all starting to appear on Sunday how much I had wanted to see my Gentry and Nobility actually mingling. It was very satisfying. 

niamh-sims replied to your photoset “Lol as much as I love Margery commandeering the dinner table, I do...”

Margery looks like a little firecracker!

She really is, I am quite fond of her character :)

niamh-sims replied to your photo “AWKWARD. Hahahaha. It’s OK though, I’d always intended Joan to marry...”

They would make an awesome couple. Their kids would be super cute!

They would BUT I do intend to keep Nobility in the same circle. She’s just not high status enough for him, so we will have to wait until some appropriate Nobles move into town! 

julsfels replied to your photo “I’ve realized that I need to start thinking about family portraits now...”

Beautiful portrait! But the story is so sad. :(

It is, isn’t it? When I rolled the dice for this family, it was for 3 females only so I had to come up with some reason why there were no male heads of the family in my patriarchal knightly household...but it wasn’t until I gave those “missing”characters faces and names and personalities that I felt sad about never meeting them. 

esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “There are some days that are pretty easy for Ambrose, and some where I...”

This is kind of becoming a refrain with this household, but... poor guy! XD

Yeah pretty much, lol. He had days where he could chat with Gertrude and have a bit more leisure time, but he was mostly on his feet from dawn till dusk looking after the house and its inhabitants. And this was a small manor house. Woe be unto the servant who has to look after a castle >.<.

dramallamadingdang replied to your quote “I’m curious as to how you managed this - is he set as a repairman NPC?...”

That's what I do, too, but I've heard other people saying they use Sim Surgery to make their nannies/repairpeople/maids look like their playables who have those "jobs." I've always thought that was a great idea, but I've never actually done it...

Yeah, I heard about that method too but tbh, the less time I have to spend fussing in SimPE the better for me. Plus, I actually enjoy having the actual Sim come out to these households and meet people he ordinarily might not get to see. I can live with that :)

scribblessims reblogged your post and added:

IIRC, Moi’s water mod has a ‘deep green’ color...

meryses replied to your post “WCIF”

I only know of these two buyable overlays, hopefully they're what you're looking for: http://modthesims.info/d/328098 http://gardenofshadows.org.uk/gardenofshadows/index.php?PHPSESSID=r7h42s8bad0sthbfeognchg7n5&topic=19887.msg512251#msg512251

scibirg replied to your post “WCIF”

There is an overlay mod for that. I think perhaps made by iCad/dramallamadingdang?

Thank you all for your suggestions! In the end I decided to go with a “square pond” (which I’ll probably post pics of in the near future) but definitely keeping all these cool overlays in my back pocket. Swimming in blood would be cool as hell! 

[moocha-muses]

All of the lots in Willow Creek are AMAZING! I saw that you downloaded a lot of them so I'm wondering who your fav lot creators are???

Thanks anon! Let’s see: @selenaq13 old lots on LJ, @pixelatedollhouse here on Tumblr and @lesyasun too… not one creator, but all of @simscommunityproject lots are amazing. @simper-fi​, @nerlika-blog​, @theatticbox  and @pixelasher don’t upload theirs, but they’re amazing sources of inspiration. 

I’ll edit this if I remember more, but I love and hoard any and every CC community lot I come across, just because I have a terirble block when it comes to building them myself. x)

[esotheria-sims]

hey i was just wondering...i've seen a lot of MM, but are there people who play a more realistic game? i mean, except for you and maybe a couple of others, i haven't seen many...

Oh, there’s definitely still a lot of semi-realistic players out there. :) Since I’m  assuming you’re asking for recs I’m going to compile a list.

(Note: the community doesn’t necessarily agree on what exactly constitutes a ‘semi-realistic’ style, but for the sake of my list I’m going to assume it’s players who play cc-heavy, with pooklet’s textures/colors for hair and skinblends that are shiny/detailed). I’m concentrating more on active bloggers though there are going to be some inactive ones too, in case you’d like to check them out.

ON TO THE LIST! (under the cut because it got really long)

Did I go overboard with this? I absolutely did! :D But even so, this is by no means a complete list of all semi-realistic players out there. I didn’t list a lot of inactive simmers, and even among the active ones I’m sure I must have missed someone.  

If any of my followers know of more (preferably active) semi-realistic blogs, feel free to add them!

CMBodyResortShirtShorts replaced with Rented-Space’s 4t2 EP02 Jacket Shorts with Slip-Ons conversion.

It’s for child male sims only, comes in the colors shown above, available as everyday only, and has a fatmorph. Since the outfit being replaced comes with the Family Fun stuff pack, that is required for this replacement to function correctly.

Like with the other CM default I put up here recently, I stupidly forgot to include the .package file with the download. As such, I have removed the link until I can fix it (which will be once SFS is back up). Thank you @theatticbox for informing me about this, and thank you for understanding.

The new file can be downloaded here!~

Big thanks to:

@rented-space for converting these adorable outfits

EAxis for the original TS4 outfits
