Simblreen 2023 - Witching Hour Two
As the calendar flipped over from December 1999 to January 2000, cities around the world hosted large celebrations. There had been one planned in Seattle, Washington, but after a World Trade Organization conference led to protests in early December, the mayor decided t...

Simblreen 2023 - Weekend Two
It was a challenge to come up with a set of three outfits for my modern weekend, but ultimately I went with an American Girl catalogue spread from 1997. Two of the outfits (the lawn party and culotte dresses) had similar doll-sized versions. Each comes in variations of 14 sw...

Simblreen 2023 - Weekend One
For the first weekend of the event, I wanted to make something Western that could be released in three parts. The answer was the Cooper Siblings from Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman. Each outfit comes in a child and T-E version.
*Hours are in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) and subject to change.*
At this point it looks like I will still be at my current job in late October, but I'm crossing my fingers that one of my many applications will pay off.
I'm now having to work from home on Fridays, which means that I will have uninterrupted a...

My biggest disappointment with Horse Ranch was the CAS assets, as most of the items don't work for historical Western gameplay. This has always been one of my favorite genres and I wanted some more clothes to go along with the new rustic furniture. Lately I've been binge-watching Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman,...

Before the revelation of Germ Theory in the mid-1800s, it was commonly believed that diseases such as the bubonic plague were caused by foul odors in the air. People would walk around with pomander necklaces stuffed with herbs held up to their noses to try to ward off the bad vapors. Though society didn't understand the role ...

A generic lot inspired by the one room prairie schoolhouse that Kirsten Larson attended with her cousins and brothers.
No CC was used in the build so that you can insert your own favorite prairie and schoolhouse items. The only packs I used were: Get Together, Cats and Dogs, Cottage Living, and Horse Ranch.
Part of Steggy Week 2023 - Day 2 (WIPs and Updates)
I needed to update Steve and Peggy's wardrobe since I have decided to play with their household more. The finale of Endgame takes place in 1949, so I dressed them into the 1950s. Because Peggy had short hair in the 1953 interview from The Winter Soldier 2023-07-24 14:12:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Inspired by the house that the Larsons purchased from the Stewarts at the end of Changes for Kirsten. Inside has three bedrooms with furniture for toddlers and infants. Outside has an outhouse, chicken coop, cow shed, horse stable, and garden plots.

Prelude to Tumblr's Steggy Week 2023. I had other projects in mind for days 2 (WIPs and updates) and 7 (free choice), so I've decided to upload this a week prior to the event.
A starter home in San Sequoia worked well as a base for Peggy's house in 1949. The exterior, dining room, parlor, kitchen and master bedroom are ...

Liberty's Kids portrays the American Revolution from the Boston Tea Party of 1773 to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 following the adventures of Sarah, a Loyalist newly arrived from England, James, a newspaper apprentice supporting the Patriot cause, and Henri, a French orphan who is attracted to trouble. With ...

I didn't quite know what to expect when I announced the contest, as the theme was very niche. But I'm glad that there were a few people willing to put their thinking caps on and come up with creative uses for the patterns.

Some of my Patrons asked for older and/or cultural CC, and Georgiamommypeach requested traditional Slavic clothing from before the Soviet era.

Another item from The Medicine Cabinet. Throughout history, people have worn amulets in an effort to ward off disease. Even after Germ Theory became widespread, the appeal of these objects remained strong. In the 1920s, English folklorist Edward Lovett went around 26 districts in London, asking street vendors what th...

Before arriving in Philadelphia, Addy never had the opportunity to go to school. But she took to it easily, practicing by helping Momma learn how to read in the evenings. When her class had a spelling bee, Momma made Addy a brand new suit to wear for the occasion. All her studying paid off when Miss Dunn pinned a first place ...

Here's the second part of my 2,000 followers gift. The Hoffman twins received 40% of votes in the poll, so since I have been wanting to update my AG sims dump for a while, I decided to go ahead and make their outfits now. They also fit with my lookbook theme for the month. Isabel and Nicki come from an interfaith household an...

Instead of making a lookbook for Rebecca Rubin herself, I chose one of my favorite side characters from her stories. Lillian Armstrong (née Arnovitch) comes from a family of Ukrainian immigrants. She shows Rebecca that it's possible to follow her dreams while staying true to tradition, and encourages her to stand up for what...

In case anyone was worried that I had switched entirely to the 21st century, I present one of my all-time favorite characters: Zipporah "Zippy" Feldman from the Dear America diary Dreams in the Golden Country. Her story begins as she arrives at Ellis Island following the Russian pogroms of 1903.
Zippy is twelve...

This isn't the most extensive followers gift I've done, but I tried to make it versatile. May is the busiest time of year for me at work and I've taken on two other people's loads, so by the time I get home each day I'm exhausted.

Phineas and Ferb is my favorite animated show, so I thought it would be fun to make Isabella. As demonstrated by her last name, her family blends together Mexican and Jewish traditions. This includes celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah and running a fusion restaurant called Nosh Olé (which I wish existe...

When Rebecca’s parents and grandparents immigrated to America, they couldn’t take much with them, but one of the items they made sure to bring was their samovar. They use it every Shabbos to prepare tea the Russian way. Rebecca likes to participate in Shabbos traditions by lighting candles alongside her sisters.

Alice Nanea Mitchell lives in Honolulu, Hawaii where she loves to hula dance, help out at her grandparents’ food market and eat shaved ice with her best friends. When Japanese planes attack Pearl Harbor and the territory finds itself thrust into World War Two, Nanea makes it her mission to keep the Aloha Spirit alive.
