The opulence of the 1950s gave way to the structured, office wear inspired clothing of the 1960s with structured pinafores and tailored trousers for both boys and girls. It wasn't all serious, however; the 1960s birthed an explosion of colour with vibrant magentas, vivid teals and sunny yellows gaining popularity in children's clothing.

By the 1970s, this colour explosion began to die out in favour of more muted browns, oranges and greens. Flared trousers were in vogue for boys and girls as clothing began to become more unisex, though pinafores and dresses remained popular for little girls.

Children's clothing in the 1980s can only be described using one word: zany. Bold colours and even bolder patterns gained popularity: they featured in everything from matching sweatsuits to fanny packs. Acid washed jeans along with converse high-tops became staples for girls and boys.

The 1990s took the casual style of the '80s further. Boys' clothing was baggy in fit, ranging from comfortable tracksuits to relaxed cargos. For girls, this was largely similar although there was an emergence of "preppy" fashion in the mid 90s. Pleated plaid skirts and button up shirts rose in popularity accessorised with knee high socks.

Y2K saw the emergence of a celebrity culture that remains today. Children, particularly girls, wanted to dress like their favourite tv characters so the bright and often excessive outfits feature on tv channels like disney and nickelodeon were emulated. For boys, skater culture was on the rise so baggy cargos, t-shirts and polos were staples.

By 2010, the extravagance of y2k petered out replaced with preppy, "business casual" inspired outfits. Kidswear began to emerge as a legitimate field in fashion and designers did their best to combine comfort with style sometimes leading to disastrous combinations such as hoodies paired with blazers.

The widespread usage of social media in the 2020s has led to what some call "the disappearance of the awkward phase". Children's wear is often times indistinguishable from adults just like in the 19th century, however, now comfort is very much prioritised. This decade has seen the resurgence of many styles of previous decades: oversized sweatshirts and hoodies paired with flared or baggy jeans are popular along with shoes like uggs and crocs.

Not too long after Louis, it was his twin sisters' birthday. Emma had spent all morning in the kitchen, baking sweet treats for the party, and soon, bit by bit, all immediate family arrived to celebrate.

With a cuddle and a kiss, it was time to send Ruby and Dorothy off to be yet another year older. Although, to Emma and Niall, it felt like they were only just born yesterday.

In toddlerhood, just as when they were younger, Emma still insisted on dressing the girls in matching dresses at all times, with Ruby wearing green and Dorothy wearing the same in red. This was not going to change any time soon, for as long as she had any say in dressing them.

Their personalities were only just developing, but it became clearer than before that Dorothy was a much more energetic child than her sister, even more so than she was as a baby. Meanwhile, Ruby's tendency to seek the protection of her parents and to stick near her younger sister was manifesting more now as well. Either way, their bond as twins was still as strong as ever, that much was clear.

Waleria Kosmowska, Gen 1 Sibling

Traits: Gloomy / Nosy / Generous

Aspiration: StrangerVille Mystery

Note: After losing her beloved fiancé many years ago, Waleria fully threw herself into working as a government doctor, trying to fulfill her personal mission of making facilities a better place for its residents.

However, since she's spent most of her YA span focusing on others, she didn’t know what she wanted for herself for quite a long time.

Currently, her main goal is to find out what has happened in StrangerVille’s laboratories and why odd sims are walking on her hometown’s streets - trying to avoid her past at the same time.

Side note: Alexa, play “Beautiful” from Heathers The Musical.

I like to call her a “substitute heir”, since Apolonia is still too smol to go through StrangerVille gameplay and tell this story for now, lmao

Kajetan The Cat, Gen 2 Baby

Traits: Fluffy / Lazy / Spoiled

Note: Waleria found him in the trash when he was a tiny kitten and immediately fell in love with him. This little bastard is spoiled beyond human understanding, even when he’s covering Waleria’s apartment with his fur 24/7 and gets his ass on any surface his ass shouldn't be. He pays her back with cuddles and some sort of cat-like love. 

Side Note: He’s a fucking bastard. I love him.

After inheriting the Bloomsburg fortune, mountains of paperwork and signing legal forms, Lawrence and Winifred decided to sell the farm and move to Ireland permanently. And with the help of Captain Murphy and Marmee in Queenstown, they found what they believed would be the perfect home to raise their family in.  

Day after day, they packed away their away belongings and planned to sell the rest, a daily reminder that they were really moving forward with this plan. Both of them were more than ready to take this next step in their lives together, but naturally, saying goodbye was the hardest part - to their loved ones and their home.

Breaking the news to Valerie was the most difficult of all. She was the closest thing Lawrence had to a mother after his own had passed away and he knew she would be most resistant of all.

"But why? Are you not happy with your life here?" She asked, sarcasm hidden within the question. Valerie was 'old-fashioned' in some of her beliefs, and she couldn't wrap her mind around how much Lawrence had been struggling lately.

He tried to be gentle with her, explaining how lousy he had been feeling and how much he longed for less working hours. "You've heard about the railroad strikes, haven't you? The world is changing, Val. Everyone is exhausted, and I have to try and make my own way. For me, for my family!"

They bickered back and forth for a good long while, Valerie finding a counter for every argument Lawrence tried to make. But he made sure to hold his ground, showing her that there was no changing his mind, and it was useless to try. And he hoped that maybe, just maybe, she would understand someday that he was right to leave.

“Oh, my boy, it will break my heart to see you go.” She told him, only realising how true it was when she said the words out loud. “But I know your mother would be proud.” 

He was not prepared to see her weep, as she was always quick to hide her pain with a drink or a quick-witted joke. He pulled her into his arms, holding her steady before whispering, “Thank you for everything, Valerie.”

Lawrence wasn't the only who was struggling to say goodbye. Winifred had been agonizing over leaving the place where their daughter had been laid to rest eternally.

A few days before they were set to board the ship that would take them to begin their new life, Winifred made her way to the cemetery preparing for a tearful farewell.

But as she sat in the grass amongst the bramble and worn headstones, she appreciated the stillness and quiet of the graveyard. When they had first buried Flora there, Lawrence had planted a few flowers that would grow back each Spring, living on past the years their daughter never would.

At first, Winifred couldn't stand the thought of it, but on that day, she found herself admiring their colorful petals, grateful for her husband's wisdom in knowing how much it would mean later on.

The grief that had once been all-consuming had slowly become background noise and taken a new shape in her life. As she sat there now, warm wind blowing through her hair, and the summer sun kissing her cheeks, she knew that it was her daughter’s presence surrounding her. She would carry the feeling inside her heart forever, no matter how far away they ventured.

On their last night in the house, they gathered their family around to watch the sunset over the hills of Wales’ countryside one last time, the sky brilliant shades of vibrant oranges and pale pinks over their heads. There was a melancholy feeling amongst them, a sad sweetness lingering there. It seemed symbolic, to watch the sun bid them farewell, and the moon guide them into the night, similar to how they felt heading towards the unknown. 

But, there was no fear in their uncertainty of the future, only hope. After all, they had each other, and that was truly all that mattered.

i meant to post this here yesterday but happy (belated) trans day of visibility!

this is a reminder that i use they/them pronouns and really, in a perfect world, i would likely just go by he/him.

i am proud & terrified to be trans in 2024. and if you don't understand how that's possible, i encourage you to learn. please keep protecting your trans friends, keep supporting your trans friends, keep giving us spaces to feel safe & comfortable in!

ts4 isn't perfect, very far from, but i do appreciate the fact that they seem to try even if they don't always get it right.

to all the other trans creators, you are loved. you are seen. you are safe & understood with me. thank you for your strength. and most of all, thank you for being who you are!

and in case anyone needed a reminder, trans right are human rights! 🏳️‍⚧️

Since their date at the cafe, Ernesto had been ignoring Cecelia. Not outright ignoring her, of course, Cecelia was much too forceful for that to be possible but he wasn't as eager to spend time together and fed her constant excuses.

Cata had noticed that her son seemed down since he'd stopped seeing that nice girl every week and she was worried. She wanted him to be happy, she wanted all her children to be, but Nesto had never been this sad before and she didn't know what to do.

Cata knew Nesto must love Cecelia and there was no reason she didn't love him back.

"But I don't deserve her, Mama," he'd said when she told him so.

"How about you let her decide ?" Cata had countered.

And Nesto, struck with a longing for Cecelia decided to do just that. If there was a chance she wanted him, he wasn't going to give that up.

He ran along to the music shop where she had rehearsal, vowing to propose in front of everyone, prove to Cecelia how much he wanted her.

However, once he got to the shop and saw all the strange faces staring expectedly at him, he couldn't do it.

But that didn't matter. Cecelia didn't want a loud and brash public proposal, she was content with his whispered confession in the stairway. She wanted to marry him, just as he was.

Hello and welcome! I'm Eso, a new simblr and future historian. I'm fairly new to this whole storytelling thing, and I'm still settling into my posting and writing style, so please don't expect complete narrative or stylistic consistency while I'm figuring all this out.

Also to note: I don't have and don't plan to use Pose Player or deco sims, a restriction I've imposed on myself to keep my storytelling gameplay-focused. This means my screenshots may sometimes look a little sparse, or I may need to stretch what's actually going on in game to fit my narrative. Gotta do what you gotta do!

A Note on Racism & Discriminatory Conflict

I make this content for my own enjoyment, and hopefully for the enjoyment of other people. Because of that, and because I myself am a white American, I don't think it's my place to depict the suffering of oppressed people for entertainment. I won't try to rewrite history nor will I ignore conflict where it may arise in my stories, but I will not depict outright racism, or cultural / religious discrimination.

That night Lottie couldn't sleep. She was lying in her bed, which no longer felt like hers, and staring at the ceiling, feeling emptiness.

She didn't want to fall asleep and face the consequences of the morning, and yet, lying still and waiting long hours for the next day full of accusations and scolding looks seemed even worse.

Finally, she got up from her bed and walked to the window. The snow-covered Windenburg was already asleep, but in some houses the lights were still on. Some lucky people were spending long nights having fun, laughing and enjoying their amazing lives. She envied them.

I wonder if there's a ball going on somewhere out there, the thought crossed her mind, but she quickly scolded herself for saying such nonsense. The balls very amazing! Of course, there was one or two taking place right now! Oh... What she would give to be there now...

Dancing in a fabulous ball gown while being admired by everyone.

Slowly, Lottie began to dance to the inaudible rhythm of music, wandering to the land of imagination.

And then... There she was. At the ball dressed in a beautiful pink attire, dancing with a handsome young man.

Beautiful and smart lady Charlotte Livingstone.
