The kids are growing so fast! Baby Cedar's features are coming in as well as his personality and Karma upgrades to her new bed!

💌 | Forget about sims, lets learn about YOU! Tell us one fact about yourself, and then send this to 5 other Simblrs to do the same 🌼💛

Hiya @occultpuppy!! Ty ty! 🌼💛

my one fact is i am learning Icelandic alongside old norse for some studies (I've been studying norse mythology as a long-term hobby since i was 16 and have grown to be more interested in ancient cultures and essentially dead languages - THIS SHIT IS HARD. i chose one of the hardest languages to learn, i did this to myself. in hindsight i prob should have just gone w/ Norwegian or even Swedish but no, i must press on with Icelandic) and will be actually singing an Icelandic song for an upcoming company ""Talent Show"" (in lieu of a company day out bc we are all remote now) - wish me luck!

💌 This is the Amazing Person Award! Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of eight different people, who, in your opinion, deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it is sweet to know someone thinks you’re amazing inside and out! 💌

thank u babes (big wet eyes emoji) <33333

zero pressure but i also want you to know that im out here LURKING for Riley posts lol im so ready for the nightmare legacy

omg you have no idea how happy this makes me 💜

I'll be honest, I've been a little scared to start posting gameplay again bc I just really hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do? I'm just a lil nervous lol. This has really motivated me to actually start posting, thank you! 😭🌈

RILEY CONTENT COMING SOON!!!!

I've been trying so hard to find it on my own but is there any chance you'd be willing to share where you found Eden's satanic cross tattoo on her arm? I'd greatly appreciate any consideration on this tysvm <3

hi! it's no problem, you can find her tattoo here!

Or, how an otherwise incredibly private man came out to the world because when I play-tested his first challenge he physically refused to flirt with women.

Kiss Me in Komorebi 🌹 New Save+

Below you'll find an explanation of why I'm starting this Challenge from the ground up, an apology for my former applicants, and the form to follow for your submissions! Thank you for indulging me for so long in my obsession with this blorbo of mine.

Why the plus? Because otomes will smack lil' plus signs on updated versions of their dating games, and I'm a dork.

Deadline for applications is April 1st! 🌸

Let's be real - I bit off a little more than I could chew the first time around! This new version of KMIK will feature gameplay-heavy storytelling with posed scenes in-between!

I want to make it up to the applicants who waited so long to see this Bachelor Challenge come to fruition, and I genuinely want Daniel to have a fair shot at meeting someone truly meant for him - so I'm opening twenty one slots: seven for my former Contestants (two of which are taken by Daithi Calloway and Josiah Bolton), seven for my former Outsiders, and seven slots for new sims! Of course, the final number will be decided by the number of slots filled!

These three houses will rotate group dates and challenges with Daniel as he whittles down the numbers. In-universe, Dan hates the spotlight of fame, and was an incredibly private man (bar his new cult following on SimTok) before being influenced to be the star of his own Bachelor Challenge by his (well-meaning) agent and siblings. He went into this in the hopes that the contracted work would mean he'd not have to worry about his mother's health bills or his nieces and nephews' college funds for a little while.

However, when he got actual applications in, pictures of real sims who had applied just for the chance to meet him, to fall in love with him... well, it gave him a cold shock of reality. After a period of radio silence, the studio released a statement that said Daniel was deeply sorry, but that he wanted to give this a fair shot, and that meant he'd have to be more open and honest about himself than he was ever comfortable being.

🌸 THE APPLICATION 🌸

Name: Age: (lifestage and number, please) Traits: Aspiration: - please feel free to include any fun facts about your sim that you'd like to list! - i'm a dork and i love writing prompts based on the autonomous actions sims choose in-game. developing your sims' skills and likes will help them act more like themselves! - i will be using height sliders when i can, so feel free to include your sim's height! (for posing/gameplay purposes)

Please tag your application with #kmikapp! 🌸

Though I am excited for this clean start, I do want to apologize to all of my former applicants - both for the time it took for me to go through the acceptance process, and the time it took you waiting for me to get back to my desktop... only to learn that the sims you made weren't even going to be used. Believe me, I am no stranger to the loss of a Challenge sim: and I hope that by offering you all an automatic spot in this new save, I can make it up to you a little!

The two existing male contestants (Daithi Calloway by @buglaur and Josiah Bolton by @retro-plasma) will remain in the competition, seeing as they were already written to participate as contestants. But given that I'm forgoing the Outsiders concept for the ease of the Bachelor Challenge format, I thought I would offer all of my Outsider applicants the chance to make contestants! As some of my former participants are inactive, I thought this was the best way to reach out - I am really going to be better about talking one-on-one, though.

ANYWAY, I'm so excited to go on this journey with Daniel, and I can only hope you guys are as eager to see what awaits us as I am! Thank you for reading this far - let's try this again, shall we? 🌹

HANDLER SPOTLIGHT - ASTRID HOBB

Welcome to the SAFC's very first interview in our new series of handler spotlights! Our very first sport goes to Astrid Hobb of Bourbon Smoke Kennels & Stables. We flew her out to our headquarters and are excited to share her with the rest of you!

Check below for her interview answers!

(👩 Credits: @occultpuppy/occultpuppy on discord)

Tell us a little bit about your program!

Well, as you may know, the Hobb family has been steeped in the agricultural history of Henford-on-Bagley for many generations-- know the best way to secure a herd of Highlands second to a strong electric fence? A great set of dogs. They are man's best friend for a reason and with the knowledge we have today, they are the ultimate working companion. At Bourbon Smoke Kennels, we are evolving the guarding instinct of our dogs; whether it be a herd of rough cattle or your family, with a BSK dog security is never a concern. First priority for my dogs is to make them excited for work--Even my pomeranian Princess has kept my farmhouse free of any menace or pest! Second, they are as healthy as the beef bulls we keep in the fields and third, they fit breed standard with great personalities which means they can go to shows and win competitions--fingers crossed. I'm the first in my family to take our furry friends in this direction but I am excited for our future victories and grateful to expand the Bourbon Smoke brand. We are also dabbling in importing as a future service and recently funded the construction of an Equestrian Center to help bring our community of horse-lovers in Henford-on-Bagley and from away closer together. We hope to host some showing events and plan to do some boarding/farrier work as well. Mr. Westbrook, my right handman, has been leading that effort but the bottom line is: Nothing is off-limits to a Hobb.

What breeds do you focus on?

Currently, I'm starting with what I know: Highland cattle and Kangal Shepherds, with potential to expand once we've been established. My great, grandfather brought home some Kangal puppies home from Simstanbul and we've been sold ever since. We've actually become great friends with the breeders there so once a year, we visit and reconnect with our distant 'family'. We only get new our new Kangals EXCLUSIVELY through them.

What is your favorite aspect of the SAFC?

SAFC has been INTEGRAL to the blossoming expansion of Bourbon Smoke Breeding. We are fiercely loyal to our supporters and their sponsorship has key to our quick expansion. With their inclusion, we've managed to network with a lot of experienced players in different groups here and it has given me a lot of great ideas and insight on how best to fill our niche here. I fully expect the SAFC to benefit from me just as much from me as I benefit from them.

If you could, what would you tell those wanting to get into the dog showing and/or horse eventing community?

The best advice I could give would to be realistic with your expectations and understand that hard work and money always get the most attention. If you're committed, take the leap, do the research, commit to the training and know it's expensive. Obviously, the better the animal, the better your chances but that won't always get you the blue ribbon. Not everyone ranks and sometimes, you straight up lose. Take it on the chin, raise your head back up and move forward--there is nothing more powerful than a competitor that won't stop fighting.

With the due date getting closer, Shayna was resting a lot more. Ali didn't mind, finding their naps together his second most-favorite activity to do with his wife- the first being how we got here in the first place.

And that's a wrap for week 2 of Simblreen!

After about 352 asks from both weekends, we are calling it for the event. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and we hope you enjoyed the early treats before the full release!

We will be making the finishing touches on our collab and hope to have it released on October 31st or as close to that date as possible. If you were waiting for the full release, you won't have to wait much longer, we promise! Until then, for those who stopped by, you are more than welcome to post pictures with your sims in our cc and we will happily reblog them!

Maybe you have been a long-time fan in the shadows or maybe stumbling onto our page has sparked an interest within you, we are always looking to add more members into our little community! Feel free to send us an ask @the-crypt-o-club and you'll be in with the right crowd in no time!

Thank you my pal 💓

Also thank you @lilamausmaus and @occultpuppy for the tags as well 💖

Here's 3 facts that will prob not be a surprise to anyone lol

I am dedicated to my aesthetic for real. All black everything except a couple grey and green pieces. Grown up goth for life 🖤

I collect taxidermy. I found an ethical Canadian retailer and I am now out of control. My next addition will be a chick with a dyed mohawk and studded vest haha.

I have four rescued cats. They're all so unique with distinct personalities that everyday is different (and also a zoo haha). They bring me so much joy and the reason I get out of bed in the morning. That and I get face stomped by Nina for breakfast every morning so I have no choice 😄

maci’s scrapbook by @enchanting-whim because it’s such an adorable and  creative way to tell the story of your sims! 🤗

diana chromodoris by @auroragoth because who would have thought that sea slugs could be this sexy?! 🧜‍♀️

sister fatima and sister elisabeth by @bastardtrait because who doesn’t love a bit of chickens’ gossip?? really, it’s hilarious!! 🐔

adelina berry by @notsoberrypixels because even though adelina is not a very sympathetic sim, one gets addicted to her chaotic pixel life!! 👿

the flirty bear by @simsulate because i just love how this game always surprises us!! 🐻

and a friendly and huge hug to @occultpuppy for all the love shown to my harpers this week. thank you so much ❤️

@occultpuppy hey darlin' :) Thank you for including little old me.

Fact about me: I am 34 years old. I cannot tell you how odd it feels to see my childhood become an official aesthetic and fashion trend.

I'm tagging some other awesome simblrs to play along!
