Hi! I just found your tumblr blog, and while I don't play the sims, I love your models of microcomputers and luggables! You've translated the spirit of the machines in very pleasing ways! It's really impressive!!
Hi, thank you! What an awesome compliment :)

Thank you all!
I haven’t been super active recently - my day job got busier and I’ve been playing other games - but I just wanted to stop by and thank y’all for your continued engagement and support for my weird retro creations! ✨ will probably be back someday :)

DIY SUMMER: Groovy button-ups and hand-painted jackets to get your Sims ready for summer!
Download: Here (SFS)
I love sewing and DIY projects IRL, but I realllly don't need more fabric in my stash so I made these instead. 🧵
These are recolors of base game meshes, so no mesh is needed! The crochet shirt uses a crochet pattern I made in Substance Designer, so it has a normal map and is alpha mapped to be transparent in between the crochet parts, which looks v nice. The solid shirts are made from vintage tea towels and ... towel towels ... which I sourced images for from from Ebay/Etsy. 🌈🌻🪐🎵

Putting some final touches on this groovy button-ups! The crochet pattern was especially fun to make.
I'm very into sewing and DIY in real life, but I already have a sizable collection of vintage fabrics and textiles... so instead of buying more, I made these!

Entering my tired gay aunt in her mid 30s era so i designed a bunch of outfits to inspire how i want to present more! Goin for weird milf who’s scrappy and kinda hippie but in the void queer way.
Im trying to channel the vibe that you can take me on a date to the farmers market, a techno club, or an ancient tomb in the woods

DEAD END SAVE FILE 1.0
in the spring of 2023, the world was ravaged by the deadly LHV viral disease, decimating most of the population. sixteen years later, the remaining survivors are forced to fend for themselves in a world where food and resources are scarce, violence and brutality are second nature, and their lives are in the never ending threat of being attacked by the LHV infected (the sick), a tyrannical military, and hostile survivor groups.
CONTENT WARNING: potentially triggering storylines and graphic imagery
download + info under the cut
my goal with this save is to create a post apocalyptic universe filled with lore, detailed environments, and interesting characters. this is a very early version so there’s only 1 world (moonwood mill) but i plan on expanding it to others.
features:
watch my save file overview on youtube
listen to the dead end playlist
the history of millhaven / LHV medical description
interactive journals and notes are scattered around the world, more info here
22 survivors / 89 infected (57 stage 1 / 32 stage 2)
2 new antagonistic clubs: the DCEU + marauders
new holiday: outbreak day (spring) which is now a day of remembrance for the people that didn’t survive
requirements:
i own/used all packs and most kits, the save is still playable without them all but lots will be missing objects and sims will be missing cas items
this save uses cc + mods, but i tried to not go overboard. mostly cas things for the infected and wooden boards, dirt decals, ivy etc build/buy objects
notes:
stage 2 infected (daywalkers) roam around a lot but most of the stage 1s will only occasionally show up at night, since they’re all set as sun resistant vampires they don’t appear as much as i’d like them to so i might humanize them later
because this is ts4, sims are gonna end up doing immersion breaking things. i’ve tried to incorporate mods that help with that, but some things are out of my control rip
console players: i’ll upload no cc versions of lots to the gallery soon, they just won’t look as rundown. as far as sims go, the survivors have very little cc so i can upload them too but the infected rely heavily on it so they won’t be up there
let me know if you run into any issues and please @ me + use #deadendsave in anything involving the save! i’d love to see it.

what if instead of buying vintage textiles I made them into virtual pixel clothes for Sims (because I already have So Much Fabric and do not really need more) 👀

Would you ever consider making the 80s computer ad preview pics you made as actual in-game posters or magazines?
Interesting idea, I didn’t think of that! I might eventually yeah. (Fun fact - I actually used my own sunset picture for the BBC Micro one, so it’s all by me still)

TS4 builder buddies, question for you! I'm trying to make an adorable craftsman bungalow but the main roof keeps clipping into the second floor with cutaway walls on... and I already tried rebuilding the room, etc. Is there any way to resolve this or is this just An Annoying Sims 4 Thing??
