New to Me CC

I know I say that I never use CC, which is true I don't tend to and if I do use it I don't keep that much.  I just like to keep my laptop clutter-free and my game running smoothly. But in the past usually, when I get tired of seeing the same Sims over and over I just create a brand new game. This time around that isn't an option. If your on this blog you know that I'm trying to do a Disney themed mega legacy and that doesn't allow me to start over when I get bored with characters or even swap to another character that often right now. Plus I'm one of the millions stuck in my house right now and since I have no money to actually go shopping I went CC shopping. I looked primarily for Maxis Match CC because even though I think Alpha CC is beautiful I don't think I could handle looking at real-life people in my game, I need the character like aspects of the Sims. 

Just like everything else I had to think of a way to organize whatever I found to download so what I did was first look on Pinterest, created a board with some subcategories, and then whatever I downloaded I put them in their right category and then tested the CC in my game. If the CC doesn't work or missing something I went back onto Pinterest and either found the missing pieces or deleted the pin altogether. I actually figured out that I needed two Pinterest boards, one for the times that I find something but don't have the time to download and test it or it isn't available for download yet, and then another for what is actually in my game. The one that I don't have in my game or know that works yet is private at the moment because I don't want to show something that doesn't work.

But here is my Pinterest if you want to check out everything that I have in my game so far. However, the rest of my Pinterest is stuff from high school and before there were even subcategories that I can't talk myself into deleting and is a total hot mess so if you look at any of the boards I can't help that they are very chaotic.

So let's jump into some of the pieces that my sims are already wearing! I'm going to try to keep them in some order, oldest to youngest. There might be a little surprise at the end too since I haven't posted a story in a little bit, hint it's Wendy as a child!

Below every picture I'll have links to every item listed in the pictures and the links will go to the website that you can download the content from. Again it is all listed on my Pinterest board as well along with some other items that I don't have anyone wearing at the moment.

Any part of the outfits not listed out with a link is Sims stuff that is already in the game. I do have every pack.




Here is Dina! I didn't change many of her outfits, I think there's three total that I changed and the rest I didn't do anything too. Here is the first one. I'm in love with the romper, and it comes in so many different colors! I had no clue who I was going to have to wear it but I knew either Aubrey or Dina was going too!


Outfit - Flora Finale by Nolan Sims

I love Nolan Sims, I think I downloaded everything that is on the website! Dina looks so freaking good in it. I try to put her in more feminine clothes to balance out all of the muscles, in the next picture you'll see just how toned she's gotten. I never make her workout so this is all from her own doing and she does have the athletic trait in my game. I didn't want to change her traits since Mickey is my founder and I try to leave townies alone as much as possible.







I think this has become one of my all-time favorite outfits! I love how the dress looks and it is very simplistic and those boots! I actually got those boots for Maleficent to wear but they just look so good with this dress. As you go through the rest of this list you will see this hair, along with a couple others, pop up multiple times. I know I said I wanted the CC because all of my sims look the same and then here I am putting the same hair on them, but it looks different on each of my sims and I just really love it! You'll just have to see how it looks later on.



Here is Miss Aubrey! Aubrey is our oldest child in the house and she is definitely the most outgoing and social one. She loves hanging out with all of her friends and she's so sweet. I think we are going to have a couple of blogs coming up that is focused on her because there has been a lot that's happened in her life recently that I can't wait to share with you all! 



This is one of my favorite Aubrey outfits. She definitely has a wide spectrum of outfits, you just saw that crazy dress she was wearing and now she is wearing something pretty normal that I would wear in real life. She also has the most outfits that have CC in them so bare with me we have a few more of Aubrey to go through. Also, I wanted to say that some of the names I may have butchered. I didn't make any of the CC I downloaded it all, and the site that I got the shirt from I couldn't find a name so I put the blog name down for it. 




I love that I was able to match the ponytail ties to the swimsuit. It's not something that happens very often in the game and this hairstyle allows you to change the color of the ties. The swimsuit is so cute, I don't know about the color though. But for now, it works.






This one had something pretty cool, her hair also comes in kid version. I downloaded both and I love pretending that maybe one day Aubrey did Wendy's hair the same as hers so they have matching hair. It's just so cute and these little things are one of the things that Sims is really missing that I wish was in the game more.




This one is hands down my new all-time favorite outfits because this is something that I really see myself wearing in real life.  I love the colors and I wish I could do that with my hair. It's just so perfect! It's also the first outfit I put together the second I downloaded it. 



Please ignore Maleficent's weird skin, she was trying to sunbath and in this picture, it doesn't look too bad but she has weird markings on her legs and I don't even know how that happened. This is her sleepwear and I changed her hair. This one I think is just perfect for sleepwear because of all of the stray hairs. 

One of the main reasons I went CC shopping was for Maleficent. She is supposed to be turning evil nad I started putting her in more black, green, or purple clothing to represent her character, think more Disney bounding than actually dressing like Maleficent the movie character. I did end up changing a couple of her outfits but I haven't found the exact right thing yet. Like I mentioned for Aubrey, Maleficent will also have a couple of posts coming up soon that is focused all on her. I have one more random post up next and then back to the main story I think. 





This is Maleficent's new outfit that I'm currently obsessed with! Almost everything she is wearing is new CC and I think this is totally Maleficent. She is just so freaking cute and she acts a lot like Dina which is so cute, but she's supposed to be evil. We will see her wicked path soon she's done some crazy things lately! 



Along with Maleficent's clothes, I really needed to find more boy/male clothes. Even though I was pretty successful at finding Maleficent's clothes I feel like I failed my boys. I really wanted to get something that would be closer to their inspiration clothes so for Steve he needed more red, white, and blue clothes since he's Captain America but for now, I was only able to get a shirt, which is the same for his twin Adam. I keep looking for more stuff for them but I always seem to end up on girl/female stuff.



Adam is a little different from Steve because I do want Beast inspiration for him but I also want preppy, snobby clothes because right now he is supposed to be in that stage of his life where he is very snobby and ungrateful and I just feel like his clothes don't resemble that. Steve's clothes are fine how they are but Adam I really thought needs something else because I just don't get the snobby, spoiled vibes from him.




I love that there are people out there taking the survey that Sims gave us and is turning the clothes and stuff into actual stuff for our sims. I saw a couple on my search over the last few days and for Wendy I want her to wear all blue and old-timey clothes. I also really love her hair. The only thing that aggravates me is that I can't change the color of the clip but looking at it from this angle is doesn't look all that bad. 



This dress is so Wendy! I love them so much and think they are so freaking cute. I had some cute toddler stuff but she aged up before I made this so there is a little bit of toddler stuff in my Pinterest board but it is mostly girl stuff since there were girls in my game.
