Wedding Bells CAS Challenge

FINAL

Yeah I've been slow since the end of the @mickimagnum Challenge, but I liked the idea of Claudius and Jeanne as time travelers in love destined to meet in other lifetimes

Metal bedframes began appearing in Britain in the early 19th century and were adopted by health conscious Victorians who appreciated how easy they were to clean. I suspect they also appreciated the comparative ventilation of the metal bars as compared to the heavily-curtained four posters of yore, given these were the same people who slept with windows open all year round to keep rooms from running out of clean air.

EA actually made a fairly good attempt at giving us a Victorian/Edwardian bed frame with the Cottage Living bed... they just made the casters a little big and the bedding ugly. I personally find EA's version a bit fussy, so I sought to simplify the whole thing, abandoning the curves and brass beads for cleaner lines, with just the flourishes at the head of the bed. I also removed the casters... so sorry to those needing to move the bed. This makes it a little less period friendly, but your sims will appreciate the increased stability. On the other hand, many of these casters were removed from old Victorian frames in the 1980s, so this bed fits well for a modern Sim who likes their antiques, or simply the look. Indeed, there are still companies selling similar beds today, so this style is truly versatile through the ages.

Requires Cottage Living. Comes in 30 swatches, half with a white frame, half with a black frame.

Will was devasted.

He was sitting on his bed in his room, wondering what would happen now. The girl's mother had just left, leaving his parents alone to discuss what to do with their son and Will was sure they were disappointed in him.

Suddenly the door opened and his parents entered the room. Will looked up and realized he couldn't read their expressions. But they didn't look really angry.

"Will," James started calmly. "Could you tell us what happened?"

"Didn't Mrs. Jones tell you everything?" Will replied, looking anywhere but his parents.

"She told us only her version, which was... Very dramatic. We doubt you were raising money for local gamblers, so we'd like to hear what you have to say." Elsie sat down beside her son.

"I was just..." Will blinked a few times to keep from crying. "I wanted to help you with money. So Ruth wouldn't have to drop out of school."

The room went silent. After some very long seconds, James and Elsie exchanged surprised glances, and James joined his wife and son on the floor. "Listen, Will, no one is going to leave the school, okay? And it looks like we owe you a talk."

For the next half hour Elsie and James tried to explain that their financial situation wasn't bad, that he didn't have to worry about it for now, and that if he wanted to help them, he could just focus on working on the farm.

And although his parents managed to calm him down and assure him that everything was fine, Will understood one thing that night - he would have a lot of money in the future. So much that no one in his family would ever have to think that their financial situation was insecure.

The Huynh Family

Another CC free family for the gallery to serve as townies in your decades challenge if you’d like.

The Huynhs are a Vietnamese-American family in the 1980s. Linh, her son Thanh, and Thanh’s wife Phuong, are immigrants. Thanh lives with his elderly mother Linh, his wife Phuong, and their young daughter Mai.

No CC but several game packs were used. (If you don’t have the used packs, the Sims will still be available, just not with all the outfits.)

While River was visiting from Mt Komorebi a family reunion in Sulani had been planned. River travelled back to Sulani with his 3 children for the first time since his parents had passed away many years ago. Sulani has changed a lot, and yet it still felt so familiar.

He took his kids to see the house he grew up in, but on arrival was surprised to see how much it had been changed by the new owners since it had sold. River smiled to himself remembering the ramshackle hippy shack of his childhood that used to be there, so full of mess and activity. He wished his kids could’ve seen what it once was.

The family convened at Summer’s house. She still lived in Sulani with her 3 children, and had made a nice life for them all as a single parent. At Summers house River reunited with Clover, who was still very much her punk self.

Also at the reunion was their cousin Tanya and her two sons, as well as Jonathan, their beloved brother Indigo’s partner. It was the first time they had all been together since his death, and those who had loved Indigo most shared stories and anecdotes of his life while the teenagers and children entertained themselves.

It was such a heartwarming reunion for all the Lenowski siblings, to be back together in the same place. They took a photo to remember the occasion, with all the children and adults together as the last remaining members of the family.

"It is in the nature of walls that they should fall. That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet." (Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit – Jeanette Winterson, 1985)

okay, i got a bit dramatic with this one, but can you blame me? after all, everything was bigger in the eighties. hair was bigger, shoulder pads were bigger, everything was bigger. music was bigger, and music related subcultures gained a super heavy footing. while the punk movement had already existed and the goth subculture had started to build in the late seventies, they both hit their heyday in the 1980s! glam rock was huge in the eighties, and there was actually a fair bit of androgyny in rock styles and subcultural styles. far before the athleisure trend we see today (i still dont understand what athleisure is?), was the athletic fad of the eighties, heralded by olivia newton john's "physical". this athletic fad is where we see the legwarmers and the spandex that you'll see in every modern day 80s-themed halloween costume. much like in the 1930s, fashion drew from film and hollywood, and john hughes' teen films influenced the fashion of the youth, which in turn inspired more teen films.

guys, we're getting super close to modern day, and i have to admit: i have no fucking idea what modern trends are. i have like five outfits and most of them involve band tee shirts.

Day 3: Vintage 1980s

Although technically the term vintage is attributed to objects at least 100 years old, we always hear or read the term vintage to refer to the end of the last century, so I decided to capture the 80s with this frilly, puffy, quilted and dramatic style.

I know it may seem outdated and is often labeled as horrifying, I usually find the fantasy within all this totally dramatic style, why not? who forbids you to have shoulder pads up to your ears? NOBODY

Munches, 1980

[vampire-plays-sims]

A happy cry of childish joy could be heard as soon as Charlotte and Joseph crossed the threshold of the house.

“Blanche!” Lottie immediately scooped her niece into her arms as soon as she crawled into the hall. “Good heavens!” How big you are now!”

“You saw her in December. It's not like she's grown to the size of a tree within a month” Joseph, mumbled, his arms crossed.

Charlotte ignored him.

Their journey home was as pleasant as a pile of molded scones.

He keept complaining that Charlotte had behaved outrageously and that she could have at least tried to spread lies about the headmaster before Christmas, because now it caused them much more problems and their time.

She just wanted him to stop talking, while wondering what to do with her life. Maybe she should become a nun? It wasn't an occupation that left much room for romance, but maybe there would be a handsome priest, like in that one book that her sister took from her very quickly…

Luckily, she wasn't thinking about that now as she greeted little Blanche. And she heard her sister's footsteps. She quickly put Blanche on the ground, getting ready for a fight.

Clara hasn't changed that much in a month. She still looked tired but maybe her pregnancy belly was a bit more visible now. And as usual when she saw her little sister, Clara's face turned irritated

“How could you do this to us Charlotte? Why are you being so ungrateful? We sent you to this school because we wanted the best for you and this is how you repay us?” Clara started.

“She was obviously looking for attention,” Joseph added, and Charlotte felt rage boiling inside her. She hated false accusations. She hated it when someone else tried to tell her why she did something. Especially since she didn't do anything.

“I didn't–” Charlotte started, but was immediately interrupted.”

“Enough” Clara said, “Go to your room. We will talk tomorrow”

Yay, it's officially spooky season! I knew I wanted to do a retro Monster High lookbook for Halloween, but I was tossing up between the 1960s and the 1980s. Both periods lend themselves well to the style of the dolls, although ultimately the 80s won out because the wide range of fashion during that decade perfectly translated to each of the main characters.

It was the end of high school, and to go out with a bang Dustin decided to throw the biggest house party of the year. It was a huge event - his Mom was away with Angela for the weekend, and throngs of high school seniors poured into the house to dance and drink. There was beer pong, keg stands, and thumping electronic music. It would be a night to remember.

Heather got to enjoy the party too, and she helped Dusty organise it all. It was so exciting being at a senior party as a junior. She danced her heart out and drank cup after cup of beer… until she lost count of how many she’d had. At some point, she even tried doing a keg stand.

Jenny was there and all Heather wanted to do was dance with her. But at some point she realised she wasn’t feeling so good…

Dusty didn’t want to deal with his drunk little sister, and so Jenny took Heather upstairs to bed and sat with her to make sure she was ok.

‘Go back downstairs without me,’ groaned Heather into her pillow. She felt guilty for stopping Jenny’s fun.

‘Nah,’ said Jenny. ‘Who would I dance with down there? Not without you.’ She smiled and laid her head on her sickly friend.

Perhaps it was the alcohol talking, but Jenny’s touch made Heather react. She sat up and looked into her friends eyes, and suddenly found herself making a move to kiss her.

‘Wh-what was that for?’ asked Jenny. She felt confused. But her heart was racing.

‘I’m sorry,’ said Heather. ‘I just really wanted to kiss you. You’re the prettiest person in the world.’

She pulled away from Jenny, but Jenny laid down next to her on the bed. Heather was glad she hadn’t run away or been angry at her. Jenny stroked her face and looked at her friend. What was it that she was feeling all of a sudden? She was suddenly seeing Heather differently.

They laid next to one another quietly, until they both fell asleep. It felt so right, to just lay there cuddling as the party raged on downstairs.
