The Legendary 'ehaught58' Creations
Hello fellow Simmers! My name is Ed, and I go by the screen name ehaught58. I have been creating a variety of lots for going on 25 years in the Sims franchise. Since the Sims 1 up through the Sims 4, I have created hundreds of detailed lots, several have been featured throughout the history of the franchise. I have not been advertising my lots since the Sims 4 began to give myself a break, but I continued building and posting for personal enjoyment. Some long-time fans of the Sims may remember me when I participated in several Sims events from 2004-2014. I have decided to try advertising my lots on here and the EA Discord to see if Simmers are still interested in downloading them. If I get a good response, I will continue posting them. Thank you to those of you who have supported me in the past, and welcome to all newcomers. Cracked Stone Castle: The Sims - The Gallery - Official Site Cracked Stone Castle_by ehaught58. A medieval castle with modern furnishings. Great for a large family, or rent out the rooms for a larger family or mix of characters. Lots of ways to brush up and increase skills, and plenty of surprises waiting for you to find!
Day and Knight Gen 7 NEW UPDATE!
Hello, dear readers! After the change to the Sims Forums, my Day and Knight thread was moved over but because of how cumbersome this forum is, those who've already read through the generations 1-6 and were waiting for more in Generation 7 would be absolutely LOST when trying to find a new post. I honestly am not sure how this forum will work exactly. If you're new to this story--Day and Knight was based off of the I'm a Lover Challenge. Wildly popular, this story followed the life of Alex Day and his romance journey. This lead to the legacy's start with a crazy, harrowing plot and many twists to the story. If you'd like to start on the journey, please go here: DAY AND KNIGHT GEN ONE For those who can't be bothered with a long read, start with GENERATION SEVEN. I will be updating here and on my wordpress site. Here's the newest chapter:DAY AND KNIGHT GENERATION 7.31 ENJOY!!! Love, pammiechick
Cantrell: The Early Years, Part Four
IDIC, a Cantrell: The Early Years, Part Four Update Brianna gazed out of the viewport, feeling the thrum of the engine beneath her booted feet. “It’s so dark,” she said as the space skiff landed ever so smoothly on the pad on the top of Mount Seleya, a knife gliding over butter. The only light, small circular lights set into the sand outlining the landing pad. “Midnight,” Joseph Cantrell confirmed. “It’s essential nobody knows who you are, in order for the test to be valid. For now, you are strictly the Candidate.” “Well, that’s not in the least bit impersonal. I do suppose it’s better than being known as the Anomaly, though.” As she watched out of the viewport, she noticed dark figures, barely seen, lining up in two rows, forming a corridor, of sorts. “I’m sorry, honey. This entire road for you has been a hard one. I’m certain once this test is over things will become easier.” “Easier? Daddy, you do know I’ve been accepted into the Starfleet Academy. It’s okay, I don’t expect easy. I’m unsure what God’s plans are for me, but there is a reason for all of this.” Joseph smiled at his daughter, draping an arm over her shoulders. “Come, it’s time to debark.” Before taking the ramp Brianna pulled the headpiece, which looked very much like a Mediaeval hood, over her head. The headdress completely swathed her head, much like ones worn before a hanging, her bundled blonde hair also concealed. Joseph took her by the elbow to guide her down the ramp. The short line of dark figures moved toward them, a light wind rippling the hems of their floor-length black robes. They were greeted by members of the High Council and Clergy. Joseph held his hand up in the Vulcan, split finger greeting, bowing his head in respect, glad and more at ease to see Ambassador Sarek and his consort, Amanda, was among the welcoming party. “We shall take it from here,” T’Pran said, as she greeted father and daughter. She took Brianna’s arm, escorting her up to the chamber in the High Tower. The stairs wound ever upward. The coolness of the interior was refreshing. Finally, they reached the top. Brianna could hear the heavy door squeal on its hinges as her former Governess opened the door. Leading the teen inside the doorway, T’Pran guided her over to a chair. “You may wish to take a seat. Things won’t be underway for an hour or so.” Watching for only a moment as Brianna found the arms on the chair to guide herself into the seat, T’Pran lit the incense in the molten rock carving on the Dias. The sweet, woody fragrance soon infused the room. Brianna had quite forgotten how calming it was. After a short time, T’Pran spoke, “You may remove the hood for now. It is time for you to change into appropriate clothing,” she said, opening a wardrobe and taking out a long, silken, white gown. “This should fit you well.” With a quick gesture, she bid Brianna come to her. Dutifully, the teenager walked across the ancient stone flooring to the corner of the large room. Sweeping the hair out of her face as she removed the hood. Quickly, she changed out of her pants and top, folding them as she removed them. Carefully, pulling the garment on over her head. Turning to face the ancient floor mirror, she watched as T’Pran then assisted with the ornate head-covering. Once the girl was properly outfitted, T’Pran sat in a chair in the corner of the room. Brianna’s emotions were more than palpable, to her dismay. Outright fear the strongest of them all. "If I fail," the girl began. "Thee hast demonstrated thy ability many times," T'Pran assured her. "Thee shalt not fail." Brianna chewed on her lower lip, her worries not so easily assuaged. Having been dubbed the Anomaly. Today would be the proof of that status. "But" she protested and was sharply cut off by a look from her governess as the Vulcan woman slowly blinked her eyes in warning. "Thee hast time in which to still thyself," T'Pran suggested evenly, holding her open hand out gesturing to the molten rock carving resting on a raised dais in the corner of the room. Incense billowed forth from it, inviting tranquility of mind. Dropping her gaze respectfully, Brianna nodded. "I beg forgiveness for my emotional display," the girl solemnly replied. She did not move until T'Pran left the small chamber, nor attend to her meditation right away preferring to gaze out of the high, tower window, momentarily losing herself in the activity in the courtyard below, seen now as the sun lazily rose. Vulcans, dressed in formal garb of ornately decorated headdresses signifying their individual Houses and long, flowing dark robes denoting their station, am-bled about the cracked, parched grounds forming small groups. Soon they would be lining up to begin the procession. Brianna felt her stomach twist itself into knots. In her nearly seventeen Earth years, she had never experienced excitement, nor anxiety, quite like this. Her telepathic powers alone were not requirement enough, she had come to realize; An even, controlled temperament, brought about through training, was essential. At the moment, however, Brianna certainly had her doubts about that, her mind swimming, drowning in a tide of emotion. Where was her control, just now? Strangely, she had been rather anxious all week, brushing it off as anticipation, yet it was more than mere nerves, she felt . . . Brianna drew in a deep, calming breath, attempting once again to gain control over herself. In this frenzied state it would only be too easy to give into the tumult inside of her, choking off the flow of her psychic signal, in turn rendering her quite blind, metaphysically speaking. She feared she would fail if she couldn't get herself back under control, bringing dishonor not only to herself and her family, but to T'Pran as well; such a failure lending itself to the notion she was merely mocking the ways of the Vulcan people, as some had purported. It was a thought she could not bear. Training in theVulcan Way for Brianna had been particularly grueling, a regular war of wills; hers against T'Pran's. The governess sought to harness the power of the child's mind, indeed her very soul, forcing Brianna to be more Vulcan in nature, at times, than the human she was. It had been an arduous task taking them both on a fifteen-and-a-half-year odyssey against a backdrop of mockery and bias. Brianna had proved to be incredibly human; stubborn, willful, impulsive. There were those, not a few of them Ruling House members, who contended a human could never achieve theDiscipline. Some even suggested T'Pran must be senile to consider it, and some who felt Outworlders should be kept apart from things Vulcan. These were known as purists, afraid all the contact with other planets and cultures would eventually strip Vulcan of its own culture, or at the very least dilute it beyond recognition, as if they hadn't fully accepted the tenants of IDIC. Despite these protests, and after more tears, ranting and anguish on Brianna’s part, the journey was at last at an end. T'Pran had slowly won out, teaching the girl at first to refrain from doing that which came so very easily to her and then how to control it. Today, fully schooled if not a bit anxious, Brianna Cantrell stood ready for the Test. The K'Matra, her Rite of Passage. It would be threefold in nature. First, she would be judged by how well she could shield her thoughts from others. Secondly, by her ability to mindmeld, being asked to form a mental-linking with another where they would literally become one mind able to feel each other's thoughts. The third test was shrouded in mystery, the conditions of which having been carefully shielded from her, set up covertly by the Vulcan Council of Elders. It was this test she feared the most, being judged in secret; not knowing what was expected of her. Author's Note: This is an adaptation from my published work, Night Whispers.

Part 3 The Pancakes is up and they have a new baby! The first new boo of Willowcreek. Introducing my new Legacy Rotation (started Nov. 5, 2024) Over the last month I've been experimenting with play styles, and I think I've found one that fits me really well. I love rotational gameplay. I've been waiting for Life and Death to come out to start, because I want every sim to have a personal gravestone and place within their history. I also want to really play each and every household that is premade. So, I've created one sim to start, and I've decided on Willowcreek as my starting point for this rotational legacy. I've disabled all of my packs except Laundry Stuff. I can't imagine a house without laundry. And of course, the new expansion, Life and Death. I won't be adding packs back in quickly. I really want to soak in every single one until I feel satisfied, and then add an element to my game rotation. I also want their ages to be staggered. I'm going to start off by staggering them through use of the Potion of Youth at various non-necessary times, so that birthdays will also be different for each sim. One Goal at a Time First Rotational Goal: Establish everyone in their career. If they don't have a career, choose one for them or assign them a role (mom, tutor, seed collector, etc). Order of Rotations: I'm starting out with 6 Households in Willowcreek, and then as I feel I can handle another household, I'll introduce them into the mix. My next post will have the names and pictures.
The Many Lives of Mirana
My name is Mirana. Last name doesn't matter. It will change a few times. "Many" might be optimistic. I might get tired of the whole rebirth thing and opt for moving on. I started as an overweight elder with gray-brown hair and glasses. I acquired a cat, Enigma, and moved into Moppy Manor in Ravenwood. There I set to work writing my third bestseller. At the same time I worked on my bucket list, improving my photography skill and eventually taking a few pictures in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. But my old life wasn't very interesting. Once I completed my Soul's Journey, there wasn't much to do except wait for death. I picked up a few tarot cards, explored the crypts, and even tried being a ghost. While waiting for Grim, I picked out the family would be reborn to. I had met Geoffrey Landgraab a few times and found out that he was family-oriented and good -- excellent traits for a future parent. I checked out his house while taking pictures and observed that it was spacious. A bit modern for my taste, but there would be enough money to change that, I hoped. So I made him my heir and the guardian of Enigma.
