The vibe is vampire romance novel cover shoot.

A while ago, @fallstaticexit planted a seed in my brain about vampire Morgyn and it's finally sprouted! I feel like they would play up the drama of it all by using their new glowing eyes, fangs, and pointy ears to heighten their already fabulous style. I see no reason why they couldn't still be a spellcaster (ignoring game mechanics), so that would still be a major influence on their aesthetic. Of course, I had to give Caleb his flowing locks and corseted waist moment too for the full vampire power couple fantasy. Lilith had better watch her back!

EIGHTIES, Part I Requested by @papermint-airplane Starring Caleb and Lilith Vatore

I think this was a good decade for them. Most people thought the goths might be vampires anyway, so they blended right in.

Only Caleb was requested, but we all know they come as a package deal, and I must admit I was already working on these looks anyway. I initially had Caleb in more punk attire (e.g. patched leather jacket and Mohawk), but it just didn't feel like him. I got suggested this hair, and it all fell together then. I imagine this is when he first discovered that buttoning up shirts is an unnecessary expenditure of energy. I'm not sure if it reads as quintessentially '80s, but I think it's perfect for him. This might be my favorite version of them I've done so far, and I have some story plans brewing for this era that could involve crowd participation, so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

#ts4 #sims 4 #simblr #the zhaoverse #caleb vatore #lilith vatore #surprise post!!!#i'm FERAL over this #i am TRULY UNWELL #can't keep it to myself a second longer #and it gives such nighttime energy anyway #i turned the second pic into a new portrait for their collection then made it my desktop AND phone background because i have no chill #new vatore peak has been unlocked

A lady vampire may be forced to spend half her day cooped up inside a dark coffin, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't always look her best. After all, you never know when an unexpected snack guest might arrive. And if you see a spot or two of blood... well, that's quite frankly none of your business!

Exciting news: I now have a story page and a characters page! They're pretty basic at the moment, but I'm hoping to think of some fun stuff to add later. For now, you might find a few new nuggets of insight in the character bios! I just wanted a cute little hub for readers new and old to find everything they need in one place. Let me know if you think anything (or anyone) major is missing or if you notice any errors. Here are all the character portraits. Aren't they cute? And thanks to @buglaur for the incredibly easy to modify template!

#ts4 #sims 4 #story: hzid #the zhaoverse #i'm going to change my pinned post to this #at least until i get a better blog theme where i can more easily add links #but that will have to wait for another day #i know it's kind of silly to include some characters that showed up for only a post or two and exclude others #but i tried to choose based on relevance/relationship #so julia's friends feel more important than that dude in helena's creative writing class even if they appear less

MEDIEVAL Requested by anonymous Starring Caleb and Lilith Vatore

What does Lilith hate most in the world? Cleaning up her own messes. What would she hate even more? Cleaning up other people's messes. And Caleb deserved a sword. So I gave him a sword.

#ts4 #sims 4 #simblr #the zhaoverse #lilith vatore #caleb vatore #she is in HELL lmfao #as much as i tried to rough her up though #she still kind of serves face (while literally serving)#don't tell anyone but caleb got that black eye from running into a tree branch on his horse #he's here to give editorial not do real combat

Eternally bloodthirsty seductress (-9 empathy), gloomy plasma fruit enthusiast (+5 depression), or morally conflicted baby vamp (+10 guilt). Choose wisely!

Thank you @squea and @buttertrait for the template and such a cool idea!

TWENTIES Requested by @moonwoodhollow and @leian-22 Starring Helena Zhao and Ulrike Faust

After hours, the most beautiful flapper in the city talks a straight-laced speakeasy proprietor into joining her for a clandestine dance (and maybe a little something more).

#ts4 #sims 4 #simblr #the zhaoverse #helena zhao #ulrike faust #THEM 😍#helena is canonically a tall queen (though i'm too lazy to consistently make her so)#but the dance pose made her an EXTRA tall queen #it would've been fun to see ulrike as a flapper #but i felt like i'd put her in enough girly looks

SIXTIES Requested by @moocha-muses and @moonwoodhollow Starring Julia Zhao

She nearly got run down by multiple cars for the sake of this shoot.

#ts4 #sims 4 #simblr #the zhaoverse #julia zhao #trying to give julia her twiggy moment #i'm not sure if this dress is fully '60s #but none of the more obvious choices were fun enough!

LIGHT ACADEMIA Requested by @stinkrascal and @leian-22 Starring Vladislaus Straud and Ulrike Faust

"Ms. Faust, have you even been listening to a single word I've said?"

Still the story of a college girl stumbling into the world of vampires, but this one's lusting over her rumpled literature professor who always has a pen tucked behind his unusually large and pointy ears.

#ts4 #sims 4 #simblr #the zhaoverse #vladislaus straud #ulrike faust #both of them already had a darker aesthetic so i figured light was the more interesting choice!#ulrike looking all coy with pearls and a ribbon in her hair is somehow the most disturbing thing i've seen yet #i love how grouping together these requests by era is giving me some truly intriguing scenarios though lol

I'm working on character portraits and it brought me immense joy to cackle hysterically as I posed these idiots in the most delightfully uncharacteristic ways.

#the official portraits are much more serious but best believe i will be pulling up these outtakes every time i need to boost my mood #the zhaoverse #lilith vatore #caleb vatore #vladislaus straud #now this is memorialized in their tags forever
