Desert Luxe Pool
Hi! I'm trying to figure out how the pool was made in this promo image for Desert Luxe Kit. The walls appear to be on small height with platforming, however the doors and windows don't work with small wall height and platforming. I've tried on medium wall height and raising platforms up by 4 to give the illusion of a small wall height but then I set the pool up as you can't place pools on platforms. Adding a foundation doesn't appear to solve anything either. Any help welcome :D Thanks!
Lost Legacies Event Week 4
With the Envoy on the run in possession of the missing treasure, time is ticking to track her down before she disappears for good- and it's up to Aurelia to find her. What is the missing treasure? And will Aurelia find it in time, or will Marina disappear entirely? https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/03/aurelia-cheng-emissary-exposed.html
I built a huge cathedral!
Hi everyone, This is my first post in a very long time—since The Sims 3 days, in fact. I wanted to share a lot I built almost two years ago (though I only just uploaded it). It's a big one, and one that uses objects in pretty unexpected ways. With all my builds, there is no CC, nor mods used. This is St. Agnes' Cathedral! I drew inspiration primarily from Westminster Abbey, York Minster, and Notre Dame. And the name is of course inspired by Agnes Crumplebottom of Henford-on-Bagley, the world in which I built the lot. I think this build will complement Royalty and Legacy gameplay well; an apt addition to your kingdoms! But note that, because I built this so long ago, the packs used are relatively old, so Royalty and Legacy isn't required. I guess this discussion could become a showcase of some of my lots that I have built/will build in the future. I have so many ideas and always try to use objects in creative ways, so I'd love to keep sharing more. If you download it, let me know what you think of it. I think it's a great build to admire, if not to visit. I hope you enjoy it! Gallery ID: Itzmee14
OG Simmer
Hello...I am Froggy and I have been a Simmer since 2001. My Simming journey began one day when an office companion mentioned a game about creating a family and building their homes and just managing their lives. I had to know what it was, and he told me The Sims. so obviously right away I looked it up and I bought it and that was that. I was hooked. Since then, I have been on The Sims journey going through Sims 2, then 3 and now 4. I did take a VERY long hiatus when my oldest child was born and life just took over. Until December of 2024 when I once again began the journey with Sims 4. I couldn't believe everything I had missed! So, here I am now about a year and change later, falling in love with the game once again. I was almost always more of a builder in the game, although gameplay was also a part of it, but now I just really adore building. So, I decided that what better place besides social media to show off some of the builds I have done than in a place where Simmers pass through all the time. Many of them have been shell challenges, but through those challenges I feel as if my creativity just goes one degree higher. Although...the first build I am going to share here is one I did by being inspired with a building I saw. This build is one part of a bigger build I did. I wanted to separate it as its own because I think people can use it better that way. I do not use CC in any of my builds (although I did play around with it in the beginning) because I want to be able to share my builds with others. I will be sharing my older builds first, then continue adding more posts as I go completing. I hope you enjoy them and if any peak your interest, please visit my gallery at Froggy2747. Let me know what you guys think! Enjoy!😀
The Rivera Family
While I am already in the depths of this storyline, I thought I'd share it here as well as my Facebook page, but let's catch up: Sven and his high school sweetheart, Nicolette, finally got married out of high school. They tried for over a Sim-year to conceive their own child, but were met with loss after loss. Finally, after the heartbreaking loss of their triplets, Rohnen, Roman and Rogan, Sven and his wife decided they would adopt. (Here, I recruited fellow Simmers to upload a child(ren) to gallery, that were "in need of adoption". Four fellow Simmers stepped up). Sven and Nicolette adopted six children (1 through auto-adoption; I had logged out for the day, came back and they had a toddler; the other five through fellow Simmers). On the day of aging to teen for 4 of the 5 Sim-adopted Sims, Nicolette passed away in their kitchen, while preparing cakes for the children, from "hysteria". Leaving behind seven children, including the child she had given birth to, the day prior. Now, after months of mourning, Sven has decided to get back out there. And who does he connect with? None other than Bella "Goth" (Kahananui) herself! At first, she is LESS than impressed by Sven, constantly flirting with, but not receiving the interactions well at all. She continues to blow Sven off, but he's persistent. She finally tells him that she is, in fact, married to Vaea Kahananui, and isn't interested in breaking her vows, but informs Sven that he is an ELDER elder and won't be around much longer. Sven offers to stay friends, until she is ready to move forward. He loves the feeling he gets from Bella. He hasn't felt so alive since he first met his wife, Nicolette. Bella agrees. She comes over nightly to hang out and stargaze with Sven. Quality friend time. Something they both apparently needed, as Bella tells Sven that her marriage has been deceased for quite some time now. The children, now mostly teens, have noticed the liking their father has taken in Bella, but are spit on whether they are happy for him, disgusted, or otherwise. There's also a secret that now only Sven knows. The only other Sim to know, was his wife Nicolette. Will Sven reveal his secret to his children? Or will it stay between him and his now deceased wife? To be continued....
Question / HELP :)
HUGE Favor \ Question ... my computer went to poo and I lost ALL of my Sims builds etc. By chance has anyone downloaded "Saint Benjamin's Cathedral" and or 6561 Rolling Brook Road when I had them on my Gallery? I(I took them off so I could update them) or is there a way to log into EA and they are saved somewhere? Thanks in advance.

QTSim's 🛠️Shell Challenge🏠
Hello friends! I have another shell challenge for you. As with all of my shell challenges, you may add additional floors, change the interior floor plan if I've added one, change the roof, windows, etc. Only thing I ask is that you do not change the exterior walls and no cc please.

The mystery of the Royal Envoy deepens as Aurelia is sent on a search for information about the Pirate Princess, Cordelia Thebe. Marina's behavior is only becoming more erratic, and Aurelia suspects that things will soon come to a head as her search first takes her through a chess match against the Envoy herself, and then to an investigation at the Municipal Muses Museum... https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/02/aurelia-cheng-pirate-princess.html GALLERY CALL: The next chapter of my legacy will include a date at a restaurant in Britechester! If you've built a restaurant there or want to build one to feature in the next chapter, please drop your gallery ID in the comments! I will be placing it on the Pepper's Pub lot, which is 20x20, so bear that in mind!
Cantrell Chronicles
The Shaking of Foundations, a Cantrell Chronicles, Part One_ Chapter One The call came in the dead of night. Reaching an arm out from underneath the covers, Joseph groped for his cellphone on the nightstand. “This is Joseph Cantrell,” he said. The voice on the other end was unfamiliar. The man introduced himself as Walter Noel. “I’m your uncle’s . . . lawyer. I’m very sorry to bring this news to you. But the old gent deceased last night. Kitchen fire.” Slowly, Joseph unwound himself from the bed covers to sit up. “So, he was still able to care for himself at his lofty age.” “Oh, absolutely, in fact he insisted. Said he’s always been on his own and it would be a cold day in Hades were he to surrender himself to the care of another. Not even his valet. He often went down to the kitchen to make and get his own coffee, too. I guess old habits die hard. Pardon the phrase.” “That sounds like Uncle Joe. Capable to the end, except for the fire.” “Yes. We were all very shocked, didn’t see that coming. Listen, I’m calling because you have been named his sole-beneficiary. Your father’s sudden death left a vacancy, some years back. His next younger brother, Joseph, stepped up to fill it. Joseph was meant to be regent, since he was to care for Aaron’s children, getting them ready for the role they would fulfill in the future. It should have been you on the Throne and the nation wouldn’t be facing all of this now. But he insisted you were still much too young and dare I say, immature, in his estimation.” “He was right on that. I was quite the dreamer, in my youth. I enlisted in the military shortly thereafter, which helped me to become a man. Saw a good chunk of the universe, as a result. My service also enabled me to fund my college education, the GI Bill, revised and renewed. A great deal of good came out of it.” “Yes, His Majesty spoke of you often. He couldn’t have been more proud of you were you his own son. You’ll be pleased to know he’s made some changes to the estate that I do believe you will approve of. It is beginning to take the shape of a proper home, as it were. “As the eldest, the crown is yours. Joseph had no issue and yours is the proper line of succession, as your father’s firstborn son. Although in the interim, Alexandra has stepped in where she had no place. But such is palace intrigued. You get the dwelling, the property and the horse Joseph the First left behind. Also the contents of his bank account. Your uncle was a very rich man. You are required to attend the reading of the will. How soon can you get here? And, of course after DNA testing there will be a ceremony to cement your position.” “Yes, of course. Can’t be too careful, I suppose. And I am also aware of the steps of Nobility I need to fulfil beforehand, too.” Joseph ran a hand over his head, catching the stray wisps of dark red hair unleashed from the tie that held it together during his slumber. “Two months at the earliest. We’re currently residing on Vulcan.” “Vulcan! He told me you were far away. I didn’t anticipate off planet. I shall postpone the reading, then. Since no one else is mentioned in his will, and there is no one else who can or should step up, we have that luxury. We just have to do something about Alexandra, you understand. Get you properly inserted as the head of the dynasty. It could cause disagreeable feelings toward you, which I regret. Nothing more disruptive than unrest in a dynasty. Your siblings, of course, will also be there. In order to help facilitate a timelier arrival, I shall send the royal space vessel to pick up you and your family — is two weeks' time enough to get your affairs in order, sir?” “We will make it work. Thank you for calling.” Joseph quietly ended the call and set his phone aside. Early, the Vulcan sun not yet up, he was tired, but expected not to sleep, even so. At least now he understood his feelings of unrest, most recently. Most of his children, in varying strength inherited the psychic abilities that ran through his noble family. Hearing a slight noise, he looked toward the bedroom door. *~~*~*~~*~~* “Dad, what is it, what’s wrong?” Erik said, stumbling groggily into his parents’ room. His father was seated on the edge of the rumpled bed, his mother surprisingly fast asleep. Must have taken a sedative, the boy thought to himself. For the first time in his young life, his father looked on the worn side. Haggard. A tad older, as if he suddenly carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Clearing his throat, Joseph said, “It’s your Grand-Uncle,” Joseph said, struggling to get the words out, lest he give into the grief that battered the back of his eyes. For all of the old man’s faults, Joseph loved him dearly. His uncle was a caring and affectionate force in the Cantrell children’s lives truly filling in where their father had left off. “The one you were named for?” Erik said. “He’s ancient, isn’t he?” “You might say so, he just had his one-hundred and fourth birthday. Last time I saw him he was still so full of life. You can’t keep that one down,” “Dad?” “Kitchen fire. He apparently tried to put it out, but his efforts were futile. Smoke inhalation.” “I’m so sorry.” “What a guy he was, though, I remember when . . .” “So you’re saying Uncle Joe basically raised you and your siblings,” Erik said. Joseph nodded, “After your grandfather passed so suddenly, Uncle Joe did come to live with my siblings and me, in the family estate. You see, your grandmother died years before, fell off her horse. Broke her neck, she died instantly." “Oh, that’s terrible. I don’t believe you’ve ever shared that story before.” “Still so painful, losing my mother. Uncle Joe was great. He used to tell such outrageous stories.” For a brief moment Joseph Sr.’s, mouth curved into the slightest of grins. “I’m guessing that’s where you get your penchant for such. In many ways you remind me of him.” Joseph shook his head. “We didn’t know you couldn’t see well, but you made up some of the most delicious stories about what you were seeing in the picture books. My favorite was the angels dancing on the top of candles.” “Okay, maybe.” Erik had never met the man, but he used to relish the stories his aunts and uncles shared whenever they came to visit. His father’s family was very close. He knew his dad was really hurting over this loss, too. Reaching over, he placed a warm hand on his father’s shoulder. “Are you going to be okay?” Placing a hand over Erik’s Joseph nodded, slowly. “That’s enough reminiscing for now. Why don’t you turn in and get some rest. We have lots to do, in just a few days. So many loose ends . . . before I ascend the throne,” Joseph’s voice was nearly a whisper as his voice trailed off. “What? Dad, did you say throne, what throne? What are you talking about? Are you saying we’re royals? I don’t believe it. How come I’m just hearing about this now? Why did you let me dream about my future. to become a rock star? That can’t be possible now, can it?” Erik watched his father closely, waiting for his response, hoping beyond hope his dreams hadn’t just been dashed. “Did you never wonder why your aunt and uncles always visited us all dressed up as if they had just been to Court or a fancy ball? Lady and Gentlemen. Grand Dukes and Grand Duchess, all. That’s their titles when their father is king. You, too, will be a Grand Duke.” Erik sat on the bed next to his father gasping for breath as he hyperventilated. “Easy, Erik, slowly in and out, you’re going to be fine, I promise. Besides, you’re the Second Son, like Spock. I will permit you to pursue your dream, but there are other things I’ve been remiss in teaching you. University, for one, to make sure each of you can competently take the throne, if needed. “You’ll each have to learn fencing lest a duel be required. Archery. Diplomacy, that sort of thing. How to be a Noble. You already are a leader, I can tell.” “But I’m the second son. . . .” “As for not telling any of you — I promise I will explain things more fully when we get settled into the estate. This is a big move, you understand. A total change of our lives.” All for now, thanks for reading!FB/Insta/YT and growing!
Hey Simmers! The Sims community has been a part of my life since the beginning. My middle school years was all about The Sims! Now, I spend my me-time, building stories, created with a Sim or two of mine, and incorporating Sims from other players, made specifically for that storyline. It's been amazing to see the different personalities. So far, they've all been a great match. Except my last save. There were a couple of menaces.... So, you can find me and my stories going on, mostly on FB & Insta. I'm trying to get better about posting to YT. I do have some of my older stories on YT. I hope to see some of you there! (I already see MANY other talented Simmers on FB). https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582547723353 https://www.instagram.com/_simmernspice_/ https://www.youtube.com/@SimmerNSpiceLost Legacies Week 2!
It's Legacy Tuesday! My blog posts lag a week behind, so this is week two of the Lost Legacies Event! As Aurelia settles into independence, the mystery of the Envoy deepens. Why did she seek out Aurelia's help in the first place, only to avoid her like the plague afterwards? What is she hiding? And what will Aurelia's search into the Capp Family bring? Find out in this week's blog post! https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/02/aurelia-cheng-drama-life-generation-3-24.html
Moochellie's World Legacy
Reading about everyone's legacy posts has given me FOMO. And it all just looks so fun that I can't not participate. Problem is, I'm a hardcore rotational player building up my world the way I want it to be, leaving me very little to no time to raise child Sims to continue the bloodline. So I'm calling it my world legacy. I recently got Life & Death and I love EVERYTHING about it. So much so, that it completely changed how I play my game. That meant only one thing... Scrapping everything I've built up for almost a year in my regular save and starting from scratch. And you know what? I'm not mad. Besides, my regular save was so buggy that I just didn't care for it anymore. I moved out each and every single family/household that came with the new save to focus only on 'The Chosen Ones'. Watch this space as I regularly tell the story of how I build up my new world legacy ❤️
The Girl Who Fell Between Worlds - April's Story 2.0
This story follows April Fogel and her time in Strangerville. I started this story a couple years ago and never finished it, and so now I'd like to tie up some loose ends. In April's story there had been strange disappearances happening around Strangerville. April joined the military to try to find out what was going on. The Mother had already been defeated, but General Buzz Grunt, as April's commanding officer, ordered her to research how to resurrect it. While in the military she met Tate Tomlin, who ended up helping her. His sister was one of the people who had gone missing and together April and Tate found her, and the other missing people. They discovered that Loki Beaker had been behind it, but April suspected Buzz Grunt had some dealings in the ordeal as well, but she had yet to uncover what they were. The only missing person they hadn't found was the General's wife, Lyla Grunt. Now, April has been taken from her simverse.... And been brought to a different timeline, in the past and in an alternate simverse from where she grew up. There she woke up with very little memories of her past. She met Tate and Honey Tomlin, who helped her try to get her bearings and figure out what to do next. The story will continue from here. Thanks for reading. :)
Introducing: Keeping Up With The Kealohas (My Royalty & Legacy Storyline)
Sul sul everyone!, Meet the Kealoha Dynasty of Sulani. The dynasty is currently led by (Knight) Nohea and his wife, (Dame) Tiare. They have two children: (Lord) Akami, the heir because he is the oldest male, and (Lady) Leilani, the youngest daughter. The Kealoha Dynasty has been Sulani's ruling royal family for the past 400 years now, beginning in the year 1626. However, somewhere along the line, the Kealoha Dynasty has fallen from grace. The Kealoha Dynasty was always loved by the Sulanians because of the dynasty's culture of being kind-hearted and benevolent to their people, as well as taking good care of the island and its crystal blue oceans. However, the infamous Kualana Kealoha, Nohea's 3rd great-grandfather, was a rotten apple from the tree who ruled so badly that he caused the entire island of Sulani to overthrow the Kealoha Dynasty in a nationwide uprising. Kualana was a self-entitled, cold-hearted ruler who ruled with an iron fist and caused the majority of the commoners of Sulani to be poor and hungry due to extremely high taxation. After that, the ruling Kealoha Dynasty had its ruling power stripped to being merely the governing nobility, rather than the ruling nobility that had the full trust and allegiance of the Sulanian people. The Kealoha Dynasty has also held a secret from the Sulanian people ever since they were in power; they are an ancient merfolk bloodline, meaning that they have mermaid blood. However, not everyone is a mermaid; on rare occasions, it skips a generation. Nohea, Tiare, and Akami are mermaids, but Leilani is not. Many of the Sulanians misunderstand mermaids and view the merfolk as horrifying beasts, and if the secret ever gets out now, the chances of the Kealohas ever gaining the love of the Sulanians will just go down the toilet. However, being merfolk is not the only Kealoha secret. Some secrets are bad enough to destroy and tarnish the entire dynastic name... Will the Kealohas gain back their ruling power and the trust and allegiance of the Sulanians, or will their secrets find them out and cause their name to go down in history as the worst dynasty to have ever lived, having another dynasty take over? Stay tuned....Lost Legacies Playthrough!
Aurelia Espinoza-Cheng was perfect in every way. A perfect student, a perfect daughter, a perfect actress. Her character values were impeccable, her clothes carefully curated, every word and action meticulously considered and executed. And she was happy... or at least, she should be. Her parents adored her, even if they pushed her, and she didn't want for anything. Why wasn't she happy? At her parents' insistence, Aurelia is now pursuing an honors degree in Drama at the University of Britechester. They intended for her to become a famous actress, and to take their names with her to stardom. But now, things are shifting- rumors of coming nobility fill every conversation, and Carin has a new goal in mind for her daughter. She's top of her career as an Art Critic, she can't just give that up to chase nobility. But her daughter? Aurelia's future is still open, and the crown of Ondarion is ripe for the taking. But is that what Aurelia really wants? Or do her dreams lie instead among the snowy peaks of Mt. Komorebi, where her secret lover would accept her with open arms? Regardless, she'll first have to deal with the mysteries that the newly arrived Royal Envoy has thrown her way. You can read about Aurelia's part in the Lost Legacies Event here! https://paxxieplayssims.blogspot.com/2026/02/aurelia-cheng-birthday-tea-royal-drama.html
