New Series! Tag Tuesdays: Custom Traits

You can all really tell I'm really, really trying to make posts about any and everything right now but my story and some of it is really cool and others are like really Shay you going to talk about CC AGAIN!? Well yeah, yeah I am but this time this CC is really cool! But I am also stalling I have one more stalling post I think after this and then hopefully its go time. Anyways I wanted to take a minute to really acknowledge a creator that I'm OBSESSED with. I mean I think I literally have everything they have created in my game and I absolutely love them! So as you all know I've become quite obsessed with Patreon lately, I just think the download process is amazing and I love getting CC from there. There are no ads, I generally know the money is going to the creator when I have the money to donate, and I have so far gotten some really amazing custom content from there so far. It is kind of hard to find sometimes because there isn't just a sims 4 tab to find all of this CC since its open to a vast variety of content. So I think its time for a new series in my game where I just showcase some of these amazing creators. I want to add that this is completely on me I am just like you who scroll forever looking for CC and I just really truly want to showcase some amazing creators over here. I've mentioned that I want to post more lately well I think on Tuesdays I'm going to do Tag Tuesdays but instead of doing a tag all the times sometimes these tags are going to be actual creators who make some amazing CC that I love using. 

I think this is the best person to start this new series with! So let me show you where I get my custom content traits in my game. Currently, Wendy has the Daydreamer trait that comes from this amazing creator, and Adam has the Spoiled one. I believe Steve is going to get one when we age up. I really wish we could have more than 3 traits but in my game, they also get a few traits because of Slice of Life. Anyways the amazing trait creator is Snowiii95! All of the traits and mods that are on this Patreon are completely free and she/he/they have a LOT! Plus there are tons that are coming up all the time. If you follow the page you'll get notifications whenever a new trait/mod is shared. There is a huge variety of traits that this creator makes and I think they truly add a lot of cool things to the game. I gave Wendy the daydreamer trait because I feel like amazing storyteller daydreams a lot to draw their inspiration from. Recently there have been more traits that revolve around disorders such as anorexia and bulimia or even Aspergers or chronic fatigue. There are some more common cc traits like drama queen and influencer. 

One of the things that I have found to be really key in making custom traits is that they actually add to the game. I've found some that sound so cool but then I get them in the game and it's just like a tag on the sims board but doesn't actually add much to the game. Snowiii95's traits tell you what could potentially happen because of the traits in the game and then those things happen in the game. Some traits might make your sim want to sleep or eat more often, prefer to be alone or be obsessed over something, and so on. These things sound so little, and they are, but in the sims, I feel like it adds a new layer of realism that is missing. Plus playing with the same traits all the time can get really boring. If you go over to her Patreon you'll see all of the traits/mods there are and then you can even see the pictures they have for each trait. Not only will there be a short description of the trait or what can happen with the trait but the picture shows the short bubble that will pop up in cas when you go to select it. I think this creator really tries to showcase the trait in all areas and they come out really developed and ready for you to just add and play with your sim with. I am obsessed with this creator but I feel like its justified obsession because the work is just so amazing and they never let me down. They truly make me wish that there were more traits that one sim could have. I also play with Slice of Life and MCCC and these traits don't interfere with them at all. I also have WW in my game at the moment because of the attraction system. 

But I really cannot due to this rave justice because this creator is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something to spice your game back up and give it a new life. I feel like they are being super creative and being inclusive for everyone to find something in their content. I really encourage you to check this page out, here's the link again. Again this is my true opinion that doesn't even know I'm raving about their page so much. I wish I had some pictures to add to this post to help showcase how amazing they are but I don't want to take stuff off of their page without asking but I just wanted to showcase some amazing creators and how I help make my game better, and don't know who would've been better to start this series with! 

Posting Schedule/Update

 Hello Beautifuls! 

I wanted to take a minute and update everyone since it's been quite a while since I've posted anything. I actually have about 15 posts typed up and ready to go however I didn't quite realize just how behind Instagram has gotten! I have been spamming everyone all day, every day since I announced I was taking my hiatus from posting over here and I still have about 300 more pictures to post before I can officially start posting on here again. My goal is to post like crazy this week and hopefully get up and going officially this weekend. However, I will not be home this weekend so my dilemma is that my posts will have to go up on their own and hopefully will get posts on Instagram going too. I have a wedding to go too so I won't be in town. 

My goal is to do posts like how I was normally doing it every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. My original idea was to focus on one character each day and that day would just be them, such as Wendy on Sunday, Steve on Wednesday, and so on. But we currently have 4 children in the Disney fam with their own stories plus Mickey and Dina and also Aubrey. Before my hiatus, we were working on phasing out Aubrey already but I've decided that Aubrey should still be a part of the story, just in tidbits because where my main sims are so goal-oriented it helps me stay interested in my game to be able to have a sim where I can just play and not have to worry about what we need to accomplish each day. That being said Aubrey will only be a minor role and we will only see her and her family more in the background or checking in with her from time to time. To be honest I think you'll see her the most over on my Instagram unless the kids are having playdates. I could rotate the stories and make it more even with the main characters but I feel like, for the most part, I'm already doing that. We are getting ready to age up the twins and Wendy and Wendy's story is really going to start while she is a teen and the reason why I waited for her to be a teen to go to Neverland is that I wanted her to be able to get jealous and have that crush with Peter like the movies always showed. I always wanted Wendy to stay in Neverland and be with Peter and the Lost Boys but I also like staying true to their movie inspirations. 

I'm also trying to come up with ways to make everyone more involved in my story since I don't stream or post videos my blog and Instagram are really the only outlets that we have for the game. I mean technically I could stream I just don't know how well that would go. Since I've been wanting to get people more involved in my game I think I'm going to start doing polls and giveaways over on my Instagram. No matter what I do over there I will announce it over here first because I know things can be a bit slower over here. Two of the polls I already have in mind are Wendy's fate with Neverland and you all picking our 'Belle' character. The Belle one will be coming sooner probably in the next couple of posts. I'll tell you right now my first post back is going to be the toddler playdate since we talked about that right before I took my hiatus from the game. Then Wendy's birthday maybe, I have a few posts to decide on what's going on then I'm going to post the Belles which I didn't take a very traditional route I tried to make it very open and you'll see what I mean when you see what Adam's been up too. 

I also want to get to the point where I'm posting a schedule of what's coming every week, maybe just like announcing who will be focused on each post. To be honest I think that will solve the character dilemma that I'm having and it will also really help me see what's hogging all the spotlight versus what's really not being seen that much. I try to post everything at noon on each of my posting days and I'm also trying to get to the point where I'm posting maybe four times a week maybe. I don't know I just have a lot of content and stories that I want to make sure everything is being fully explored versus rushed over. 

One last thing before I disappear for the week. I've been working on my editing skills which I know I've mentioned before and you can really see it I feel like because my goal was getting my Instagram and blog and family tree all to feel like one unit, and I feel like it's getting there. I also want to create a highlight over on my Instagram of the family tree and then link the Plum Tree App to it to make it more accessible. This is why I really wish I could post from the computer to Instagram instead off of my phone.  My main two things I wanted to focus on fixing during this break besides catching Instagram up was my editing and how to keep my story content the same on all outlets. Right now I currently post on Instagram and here then I also have the Plum Tree app for the family tree. I've played with the idea of streaming but I don't know how well that would work out since I play very sporadically and usually whenever I can fit something in. But I guess if that is something that enough people would want to do I may be open to the idea to doing that. Since my family has become more elaborate now that we are three generations going and they are all pretty much doing their own things the story seems to get a little muddy from time to time I've just been really wanting to make it as cohesive as possible and I don't feel like I've completely reached that yet. A great example is my generation's goals. I really am working on trying to make them look better versus just being a graph with a pretty background like what I currently have on Instagram. I'm actually going to focus on that this week and might actually make that my first post back just to refresh everyone what we have planned for each sim and see what's going on in the world since it has been a while and I have gotten a lot of new custom content traits that I feel like have been adding a lot of really cool things to my game! I'm actually going to make a short post on Wednesday about the traits that I've downloaded and why I've been getting so many lately. This is why I love making these rambling posts because it really helps me figure out what I would love post and what direction I should really go in. 

Well, I hope to post this weekend and get back to normal next week and if not I will sincerely apologize and promise we will get back to normal real soon. I've just been posting pretty heavily and routinely since I made my blog back in January and felt like I needed to get everything running smoothly now versus when we have even more stories going. 

Some Favorite CC

I know I said I wasn't going to post anymore this week but I really wanted to get something out since it's been a little while since we had any new story content. It's also been a while since I posted any CC appreciation post so I felt like its time! I have downloaded a lot of new CC since the last post, which I feel like it was back during the wedding that we had a post like this. I'm going to try to get a little bit of something for all of the sims life stages, but again all of this and more is tied to my Pinterest board.

I like making posts like this because I CC have become a huge part of my sims and most of the time when I see sims with CC they are all very glamorous and look real but I don't want mine to look real. I wanted mine to look like Sims and because of that my CC is always maxis match so that it keeps looking like a game. I also change out my CC a lot or download stuff to be specific for a character. 

Toddler CC

The hair above is created by the Simple Simmer and I LOVE their content! The link on the picture will take you to all of these toddler's hairs and I literally use them ALL THE TIME! Toddlers are almost as hard as men stuff to find which is why I reuse it all the time. I just think these are just so well made and I really love the way it looks on my sims. I think the content here looks really good and I just love downloading it all and using it. They have a Mulan collection that I really want to get but I'm trying to hold off until we get to Mulan's generation because I feel like to do it justice it should be used on her.

I love how these two outfits look but to be completely honest I've been downloading pretty much everything I've found that's remotely cute for toddlers because we have the three toddlers and I just think they will look so freaking cute! I can't wait to show you their play date! The outfits above were created by GeorgiaGLM, and she makes some really cute stuff! There's a lot of really cute stuff over there. 

Children CC

One creator that I get a lot of stuff from is Saurus, I think I have everything that they have in my game. It's really good content and works well with the stuff we get through the game already. I really love this hair. We've seen it a lot in my game on my older sims because a lot of Saurus's hairs come in all ages for the sims. Also this is Wendy's main hair in my game too. 

I love when creators took the survey items and created them into actual items to put into the game! This one was created by Ferdiana Sims. It looks so cute in the game. 

This one is just like the one above. It was one of the options that didn't get picked that creators made into cc. This one is something that Wendy wears, but we don't see it very often. This one was created by the Pixelunivairse.

Teen-Elder CC

This hair is one you haven't really seen in my game yet. I have plans for it and I couldn't pass it up not downloading it. There are a couple sims who have this hair as their sleepwear. But I plan on using it for Adam's hair after he switches into or back from being a beast. I don't know yet. That transformation is going to be happening soon which is why I've been downloading a lot of monster CC, I just don't want to turn him into a beast and not be able to turn him back to how he looks now which is why I'm so happy that he's a twin so I can just see the details that Steve has and be able to replicate it for Adam. Anyways this hair is created by ClumsyAlien who I found while searching for creators on Patreon. 

This is another male hair that I use way too much! I think Adam, Morgyn, Mickey, and even Orange have all had or have this hair in my game. It's also one that I got a while ago so it's been on my board for a little while. I really love how it looks in my game. It was created by Simstrouble who is a creator on Patreon that I'm obsessed with. But pretty much everyone except female sims teens-adults have no cc because its so hard to find maxis match stuff that I like. I don't think I'm picky, and I've even just downloaded everything that I've found but it's just hard to find anything. 

I mean just look at how gorgeous this hair is! This is created by the Quirky Introvert CC! It's another creator that I found when I was deep-diving through Patreon for maxis match CC. Since finding this hair I got almost everything that they have on their Patreon page. Maleficent wears this hair with her formal dress, we actually did family photos with her in this hair. We are going to be doing a new family portrait soon since the twins were born.

This gown is amazing! It's created by SLYD over on The Sim Resource. I love how it looks on Maleficent and it came out really good. I really want to look up more of their work. I was worried about how it would look in my game but it looks amazing. This is the dress that Maleficent's wearing in the family portrait. 

This one isn't really maxis match but I downloaded it as soon as I saw it because it looked so pretty. It works really good in my game and I added this to the list because I recently posted a picture of our grown-up date night the other day on Instagram and people were asking where I got this from so I went ahead and tagged it here. I got it off of The Sims Resource and the creator is ChloeMMM! The creator actually has a lot of really cool stuff on their page and I really want to go through it all because I really need to find more toddlers, kids, and male stuff. The girl stuff just always pops up so easily. 

This one like the one above doesn't exactly qualify as mm but I really like it and I think it works well in my game. We haven't seen it much in my game. I think the only time we really saw it was when Adam wore it at the party, and possibly the family photo. This is on the Sims Resource and it was created by OranosTR. I have a few of their CC in my game but I just love how it looks. 

Does this suit not scream player?! I thought it would be perfect for Adam to wear now that he is on his own living up his bachelor life. It's created by grimcookies over on Patreon. It's another creator that I found during my deep dive looking into more creators to follow. Since I found their page I have a lot of their content in my game and it looks really nice. I just wish I could find a creator that creates a lot of male CC because I think it would be really good for my game. 

We see this one all the time in my game now because Steve's workout outfit uses the flag tank top. Whenever I go CC hunting I always look for clothes that will fit a specific character that we have. I have a private board that has a bunch of CC that I either want to download in the future or need it but can't justify getting it yet. I roll through CC a lot too so the CC on my public board is all stuff that I've used or have in my game currently. This one is created by Metens. To me, it just screams Captain America so I couldn't pass it up.

About Me

I really wanted to post something today but I'm not ready to start the story up again yet. I'm doing set up right now though and I plan to start back up next weekend with the story. So this is going to be the only post this week. I realized that I never really do an intro post here, and if I did it was forever ago so I felt like doing a tag and let you know me some. I found a blog over on AHarris00Britney's blog. 

1. Name: Shay

2. Language: English

3. Playstyle: I love doing my Disney story right now we just got our first third generation baby so I guess it would be gameplay because I'm not in love with my story content yet there's a few things I plan on tweaking soon.

4. Simself Picture: I have never recreated myself in the game. I suck at making cas and to be honest I really love getting stuff off the gallery and showcasing work that others make. My Disney family and townies are the only ones I really manipulate or made on my own. But now that I have CC in the game I've been adding it to everyone. 

5. Stories, Gameplay, Builds, Lookbooks, Edits, or CC: I love looking at everything. I have a Pinterest board where I show everything CC I find, and I try to keep it clean and organized along with everything in it working. Then the rest I see and follow amazing content on Instagram. But for myself I really focus on gameplay/stories. 

6. Favorite Age in Sims: Definitely Young Adult! I feel like its the stage I play the longest because there's just so much that I can do with my sim at that age and I thnk its the best age for them because as soon as they age up into adult they look so weird, at least in my game. 

7. Favorite Sim Season: I don't really have a favorite season. I definitely start all my games out in spring because I just feel like thats the best season to start. But each season gives different gameplay and if I had to pick one season I think I would go with summer just because there isn't a lot of rain, a lot of plants grow, and sims aren't complaining about the cold weather and I don't have to worry baout them accidentally dying on me. 

8. Favorite Holiday: I don't really have a favorite holiday in my game either. I've showcased Winterfest the most on my blog so far but I really love adding different ones to the game to give new life to my game. I might do a post later about different holidays I like to add.

9. Favorite Career: I definitely use freelance careers a lot! I love the freedom that comes with those careers because we can work and do whatever we want whenever we want and not worry about sending them off to work. I also really love the Actin Career. But when I start getting bigger families is when I start branching into careers where they just go to work everyday for so long. 

10. Favorite Aspirations: Definitely the family ones or the romane ones. I use those all the time. Literally when I play just for fun I end up making the same exact sim over and over. Which is why I needed and wanted to come up with a legacy outline like the Disney one so that we can branch out from doing the same thing over and over. 

11. Favorite EP, SP, or GP: I think I should say something like seasons since it added a lot to the game but to be honest I use a lot of Magic Realm for building, I love what City Living added to the game, and then the Movie Hangout pack is amazing! I love the colors that it added to the game and the stuff that came with it. 

  

12. How Old is my Simstagram: I just started my instagram back in February I think. 

13. Favorite Skill: I think my favorite one to build up is painting because of the money that they can get plus I love that it gives really cute decoration to the game. 

14. 3 Favorite Mods: I love MCCC! I use it everytime I play and really have no clue how I would play without it now. Slice of Life has added so much to my game and it's something that I really appreciate. My last mod I don't know if I would call it a favorite because I really don't use it to its full potential, but I think its the only other mod that I have in my game at the moment, and its wicked whims. I downloaded wicked whims because it comes with an attraction system that we used to have in previous sims games but haven't really seen it in the sims 4 without using mods. Now that is a mod that I wouldn't recommend for everyone because it can be graphic and make the game a lot different nsfw but I really only use it for the attraction system to help let my sims pick who they are attracted too.

15. Size of Mod Folder: 3.89 GB! 

16. Favorite Sim: My favorite sim in my game right now is definitely Maleficent. I love her and she's freaking beautiful! Now for favorite townie I actually have to say Dina Caliente! I've never played with the Calientes before but she became out matriach of our family and she's been such a fun and amazing sim! 

17. Which Sims Games Have I Played: I believe my very first sim game is Sims 2 where I played as the Capulets and Montagues all the time! I sometimes branched out to play as the Pleasant family a lot too. After that I played Sims 2 Castaway a lot, the gameboy sims 2, Urbzs, and then my obsession got really big with Sims 3. That's when I learned all about the expansions that you could get with the game. I've tried playing the mobile games too but I couldn't get into it when you had to wait so long to do stuff, and the money took forever to get. 

18. Propose a Crazy Scheme: I mean we are trying to do a 25+ generation legacy game and I've never played past gens 2 and 3 before so I feel like it is a mega crazy scheme! 

19. What Other Games do I Play: I go through obsessions for sure. I love Assassins Creed, Animal Crossing, Fall Guys, and my current obsession is Two Point Hospital. ut by obsessions I mean I'll play a game nonstop for weeks until I get burnt out and then read or do puzzles or something then bounce back to the game or another game. 

  

20. Pets: I have a ton of pets! I grew up with tons of animals, everything from horses to chinchillas, but today I only have dogs and a cat. I have 4 dogs, 3 english bulldogs and a newfoundland. 

Announcement

 Hello, my lovies!

I've been contemplating my blog and overall story here for a little while and I'm just not happy with the content that I'm putting out. I feel like it can be better, it can have more structure, and overall it should be a lot nicer than it already is. I don't want to stop what we have going and I don't start all over so my goal is to revamp my content and make it nicer. You've all already have seen me doing that by how my blog is looking now, which makes me so happy! I love how it looks now so I really want my content to be just as perfect as how the blog looks. Luckily for my blog, there isn't much I want or need to change to achieve what I want. Here it is pretty much exactly how I want it. But I want to update my content on my Simstagram and my family tree and I figured it would be best to do it now where I only have three generations to work with versus having 30. As for my Instagram, I am so far behind where my blog is and the only way for that to catch up is for me to take a break from here which is why I'm making this post. I'm going to still work on stories and have content ready to be posted but I won't be posting for a couple weeks here but I will be posting a lot on my Instagram. My goal is to have these two things coincide with one another versus one always being ahead of the other. Even if we are a day ahead or behind a post coming out I'll be super happy with it. My goal is to be back on September 6th which is only two weeks away but should be good I think to catch up. 

One of the reasons I got so behind is because I'm having a little system malfunction. Normally I upload my pictures to Google where I can organize them into what needs to go into my blogs, what needs to be uploaded to Instagram, what needs to be saved, and what needs to be worked on and edited. This was working and I was about to be caught up really soon but then I guess there was an update on the app or something but now my albums I edited to upload are no longer in order and it takes forever to upload everything. I have to use my computer to figure out what to upload next and it's been a little frustrating. I think it is working well now because in my new album it shows up how I edit it on my phone and it will let me use them just how I have it in order. 

As for the family tree, I'm going to continue using the Plumtree website, but I want to create one that will also give us an image of them on Instagram along with the link to Plumtree. I've been seeing a template a lot on Instagram that I want to try to replicate and that means using Adobe Photoshop some of which I have no experience in but I really want to try something. 

My goal is to eventually have enough characters to have like a wiki or something. I dunno I just think it would be really cool to see. I really love creating these stories and playing my game. It's going in some really unexpected turns and I'm honestly scared to let Mickey and Dina go! It's going to be so sad! I just like being able to share my sims like this. 

Again I'm going to shoot for 9/6 as my return date to posting regular blogs again, if I have to take another week off I'll update you all then. But this also gives me time to make more posts and get a little ahead since school is starting and I no longer have as much as time as I did to create all the time. If you don't want to wait you are more than welcome to watch the story on Instagram it's just going to be a little bit behind, as I'm writing this I'm currently posting about the Girls Day Out, which was all the way back in June. However, you will be reading this a little bit behind me making this post and should be super close to being all caught up. If you have any questions or ideas about what I should do just let me know. 

There's Been a New Death!

Just a few posts ago we had a huge aging up celebration and we didn't get to see this happen but Marcus Flex passed away while I was in the family aging up the kids. Luckily I just finished aging up the kiddos so no one was taken away. Marcus was already an elder and had been one for a really, really long time so it was time for him to pass on. When he passed all three kids were able to be there with him and right after the Grim Reaper left Maleficent and Aubrey both showed up to be there for their friends Christen and Zander. However, while the girls were there I noticed that Zander wasn't really sad like the other two kids were so I started looking into. I was really curious as to why he wasn't sad that his dad had passed away. It turns out Marcus wasn't Zander's father! Christen and Ricardo are actually Zander's half-siblings, and his real father is actually Pablo Rocca who is Britany's father! This makes Brittany, Steve's best friend, Zander's sister! This is some insane drama that my game has been doing all on its own! But that is not where it ends my friends. 

It turns out Kassandra, the girl who has been raised as Aubrey's baby sister and J's daughter is actually Marcus Flex's daughter! Big bombshells all AROUND! Do you remember that Kassandra actually has a huge crush on Zander! These two aren't actually related but now that I've figured out that he has pretty much been raised by her father is getting a bit too creepy for me. But these two have no relationship to one another other than their friendship and budding relationship. Kassandra has been raised believing that J was her father and up until now that is what I thought too! I've never really looked at the family trees in my game but it looks like I've been missing out on some really fun stories because of that. 

Finally, the last piece of CRAZY DRAMA that my game has thrust upon us is the fact that Moriah's father is not Eli! Eli is Nina's husband and up until now, I just assumed that was her father. Well, it turns out that her real father is Pierce Delgato who's parents are Mickey's best friends! Is that not crazy! I found this out when I was aging up everyone Justin passed away from old age and Moriah was depressed from losing a grandparent and I was like who could she be missing? Katrina passed away a really long time ago and I didn't think Eli had any family. Well, it turns out that she was sad from Justin's passing away.

Since this was such a short story I just let this be a little side story and bonus for you all. It wasn't my best work since there are no pictures and just a heck of a lot of information. It doesn't really tie into any of my main story but I really wanted to show off how crazy my game has gotten all on its own and how insane it has been linked to one another, even to the Disney household. This is another reason why I just added a bunch of new teens to my game because they are unlinked to all of this craziness and I feel like we needed some new sims in the story 

Group Home?

I thought it would be nice to move some new teens to the neighborhood so that we could have more options for both Belle and Agent Carter. Plus we needed some fresh faces at Adam's parties so it was a win/win. I moved them into Newport since I really don't have anything there other then some hang out spots. I finally found a dormitory that I think would be perfect. Technically it is supposed to be for college kids so I'm thinking that these are older teens starting college or maybe they ran away. I just don't think runaway teens could afford this place so it's a group home of sorts. 

The house itself has a little bit of everything. It has a party in the basement, the main floor is like the living area and kitchen. There's like a little apartment on the main floor and one of the teens that I moved into the house is a loner so it worked out perfectly I think. Like I said I don't think runaway teens would be able to live in this house on their own but I'm not really sure of a story that would fit for them. Maybe by the time I get a story for them, I will have a backstory to explain how they all live here. The bedrooms are on the second floor (technically third since the 'basement' is on the first floor) and then on the top floor has the gym and homework area. I really love how it all turned out. Can I just say that the house's picture is absolutely gorgeous! You can click on the picture above and it will take you to the gallery, the creator's ID is JalenJello. These creators are amazing and they seem to do a little bit of everything!

As for our residents, I didn't want to have just females in the house so we have a little bit of everything but physically we have 3 males and 5 females. I wanted them to be diverse and for the most part, they are just going to do whatever they want in the house. We are only really going to see them at parties unless Steve or Adam becomes friends and spend more time together outside of that. So we'll just have to wait and see. But until then let's introduce you to the whole crew. They are all teens by the way and three of them are actually created by the same person so let's start with those three first.

Jackie - SimmieSweetness

The first one I actually found to add was Jackie, she's absolutely gorgeous and the only thing I changed for her in my game was added eyelashes to her and updated her shorts for her sleepwear. Some of the teens I downloaded needed to have cold and hot weather outfits fixed which a lot of the older sims or simmers who don't have seasons their sims won't have outfits picked out for those so I added them I don't think I had to do that with Jackie but there were a few I had too. My game has custom content eyes so her eyes are blue and look the same but aren't exactly the same in my game because of that but I didn't change her eyes at all. She was created by SimmieSweetness. She has the creative and art lover traits along with painter extraordinaire as her aspiration. She is currently sharing a room with Shawna who you'll meet later however the bedroom arrangements aren't permanent at the moment since I just moved them in and I don't know how really gets along with who just yet and the girls are so tricky so I have no clue who will end up rooming with who just yet.

Calvin - SimmieSweetness

I couldn't pass this dude up! His name is Calvin and I really didn't change any of their names. He's freaking cute and I needed him in my game ASAP! Again I don't think I changed anything on him. I just had to add him to the house and I didn't even realize he was made by the same person until I came to creating this post and they are all made by the same person which was really cool. So he was created by SimmieSweetness. The traits he came with were clumsy and geek which really just made me love him more I mean he's a hot nerd! He has the Renaissance Sim for his aspiration as well. 

Hillary - SimmieSweetness

Hillary is the final sim that I downloaded from SimmieSweetness. I think she is going to be our mean girl because she has the snob and creative traits. Since she only has the snob trait I might go back in and give her the mean trait or evil later on but for right now I'm going to see how she goes with this. I did change her cold weather wear because I've been dying to have a sim wear this outfit I downloaded from Sentate but I haven't had a sim that had the attitude and I think snob works perfectly. It just gives off snobby vibes. For her aspiration, she has bestselling author. Just like all of my sims on this list, the main thing I changed was adding eyelashes to her and the eyes just automatically change since I downloaded the eye cc to my game. Hilary is the other sim we have that is currently not sharing a room with anyone however she is living in a room with two beds so there's potential to move in someone who could rent the other bed or maybe the other girls will switch rooms around but until then she is bunking solo. 

Bastien - Vale1968

Bastien is our loner teen who also has the recycle disciple trait. When I added him to my game his eyes were freaking HUGE! So I made them a little smaller and gave him long hair. He also has the Master Chef aspiration which I think will be really cute. Maybe he will have the closest relationships with his housemates and in return, he cooks for them. Anyways he was created by Vale1968. Right now he is the only sim that I think I have in the perfect room. Bastien is the sim that is living in a small apartment like room that is right on the main floor. He has his own space with his own bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedroom. I think this is just where he would prefer to stay so that he can be alone since he is a loner. 

Shawna - TheSims18900

Shawna was created by TheSims18900 and originally had the mean and art lover traits but I really wanted to start this house off on the right foot so I got rid of the mean trait and gave her the influencer trait since she has the musical genius aspiration I figured these two would work well together and she could create music to help the house make money. Like everyone else in the house she is a teen so they all do still have to go to school. She is currently sharing a room with Jackie who we met earlier in the post.

Bianca - Lasanie4

Bianca is BEAUTIFUL she is another sim that is living in the house that is really creative and a huge green sim. Her traits are maker and green fiend along with the master maker aspiration. She was created by lasanie4. As for her, the only thing that I did to her when I added her to the household was that I changed some of her hairstyles. She had the same hairstyle for all of her outfits and I just loved her so much that I swapped it up. I've been dying to play with some of my heterochromia mods in my game so I gave her that condition as well. She is currently sharing a room with Arya who we will meet last since I actually made her for the household.

Toby - SimmersWorld-YT

Toby is the last sim that we got off of the gallery. He was created by SimmersWorld-YT. One of my favorite things about getting sims off of the gallery is that I find so many amazing creators and I love adding their work to my game! It really helps make the game more interesting. He came with the romantic and outgoing traits along with the party animal aspiration. He shares a room with Calvin and to be honest their room is pretty locked in because I don't think I'm going to move them at all.  

Arya - Created by My Game :)

When I went into the game to create this household the game automatically loaded up this sim. She is freaking gorgeous and to be honest really reminds me a lot of Ellie from Degrassi: Next Generation and I'm complete trash for that show so I had to keep her. Arya has the calm and extrovert traits both of them are custom content that I downloaded from this amazing creator named Snowiii95 on Patreon. She is who makes all of the traits that I have in my game that is custom content and I just really love the work she does I pretty much just automatically download everything she comes out with now.  As for aspirations she currently has the leader of the pack but I don't know if she is going to keep that one. She is also sharing a room with Bianca. I tried to match the girls up with who their personalities best fit with but that isn't perfect so like I said they might change a bunch over time.  Pretty much everything she is wearing is custom content and you can find it all here on my Pinterest Board.

I would love to share them on the gallery but since I only created one sim I don't know how to do that without sharing all of their work so we'll just have to love them from afar unless she moves out or gets married or lives with one of our sims. I need to do a little upload of all of our sims families that we have going right now since it has been a while since I've done that. 

P.S. there is a bonus story coming out later today, in about a half-hour, to explain why I had to add these new teens to my game. It wasn't just for the new faces or the fact that we would have new people to potentially be our Belle and Carter.
