Hey everyone! Welcome to my attempt to show off some of the amazing collaborations I have had with folk in this community! Some of you may be familiar with my Vampire Thread (if not, please feel free to check it out! <@reddestiny92 ‘s Luciano Marcel with my own Endymion Stratushttps://i.imgur.com/mfld5E3.jpgEssentially, I do CC makeovers of sims. And I had the awesome opportunity to work with sims created by some incredibly talented folk in our community. Some of these folks approached me to do these makeovers and some of them I “raided” (downloaded their sims off the gallery) and asked for permission to do the makeovers of and to post the results. I was thrilled to be so generously entrusted with the creations of these folk and flattered and over the moon that my work received such a positive and warm response. <3@afai1261 ‘s Prosper Ashby baring his fangs for us in his dark form https://i.imgur.com/gjVhFUv.jpgThe only problem was, I was working on a thread that was limited to a theme (vampires). Anyone who knows me can tell you I love my vamps, but I really wanted to reach further and so I started this project hoping to do just that - get some folk interested in having their sims get CC makeovers whether their sims are vampires or not.@paradiseplanet ‘s Jacques Frost (NOT a vampire :o)https://i.imgur.com/V40tRAl.jpgI am preparing my first few posts on this thread to showcase the work I have done before, but I am hoping that maybe some of you out there will like what I do and want to work with me as well.So please feel free to check out what we have created and let us know what you think. Thanks to all y’all in advance!

First let me introduce you to what I do by presenting some townies that I have done makeovers on. Most of these were done for my games, but in some cases, I’ve had folk show interest in them for their simlits and their games. I use three Sims 4 folders for my three main games, so you may see me referring to Frostridge, Chatswin and Star-Crossed which are the names of those three folders (neighborhoods).To get the ball rolling here is my version of Travis Scott (who I renamed Jeremy Stratus). He lives in my Frostridge save.https://i.imgur.com/02mXo2s.jpgMore Jeremy (Travis)Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/q4orAXK.jpgJeremy With His Husband Endymionhttps://i.imgur.com/gi5xAaB.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/q4orAXK.jpgJeremy With His Husband Endymionhttps://i.imgur.com/gi5xAaB.jpgReposted From My Vampire Thread (Jeremy)Spoiler (Highlight to read)The left is my most recent CAS shot of him, but the right is kinda neat 'cause he came home from work after a promotion with no makeup or accessories at all (not even eyelashes - quite naked by my standards LOL).https://i.imgur.com/X9otcda.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/3vGsk31.jpgThe left is my most recent CAS shot of him, but the right is kinda neat 'cause he came home from work after a promotion with no makeup or accessories at all (not even eyelashes - quite naked by my standards LOL).https://i.imgur.com/X9otcda.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/3vGsk31.jpgReposted From The Sim You Can't Let Go :) Thread (Endymion and Jeremy)My current avatar.

He was brought into the game as a child being raised by his two older brothers, Trace and Avery. He is pictured here as a teen, but has recently aged up to young adult, along with the rest of gen 2. Quincy was an NPC who was kind of a club groupie. The first time I noticed him was when he was a teen and he started begging to join some of my clubs. Eventually, Jeremy relented and invited him into "Other Worlds", a club that Jeremy and Endymion created for geeks. After he started coming to the club meetings, he totally grew on me, so I upgraded his whole family to played character status. He and Quincy were my first teen couple and the only ones I made the colossal error of exchanging promise rings with (a mistake because of a bug that makes promised teens unrecognizable as a dating couple as well as a list of other problems). This couple also had the distinction of being the only couple I ever deliberately broke up (to work around the promise ring bug), then of course, re-united. Now that they are young adults they are my first gen 2 couple to get engaged. Justin is working on a career in music and Quincy is working on a career in writing.https://i.imgur.com/3WHndeu.jpgFrom left to right: Justin and QuincyJustin is Trace's much younger brother.

They are in fact half-brothers. When I put Quincy's mother in the game she immediately got involved with, then engaged to, then pregnant by the only "Player" I have in Frostridge (so far). She did not get married to his father, but she did have Kade who was born long before toddlers came out. Kade is extremely interested in the occult (maybe because his genetic father was turned into a vampire after his birth), but he fancies himself a Wiccan of sorts and his friends affectionately refer to him as the "white witch". Arjan was born in game as well so all genetics between these two are second gen :). Kade and Arjan are the "youngest" of the second generation, but I opted to make them gen 2 and age them up with the others anyway. (I know they're the youngest, right?) Kade is following his father's unrealized dream of becoming a famous artist, and Arjun is trying to become a bestselling fantasy novelist.https://i.imgur.com/PdQ1sZk.jpgFrom left to right Kade and Arjan (pictured here as teens)You might have guessed that Kade is related to Quincy!

Ethan is Quincy and Kade's nephew. When I added Quincy's family in the game, he had a sister who was a young adult who happened to be romantically involved with another NPC, who I then decided to add to my played character list. She promptly got pregnant by him and had twins, Ethan and his sister Emily. She did not marry the father of her (now four) children, but she does live with him and they are together. (He is polyamorous and bi). Anyway, Ethan was born in game and has jumped on his favorite uncle's "Wiccan" craze. He would love to see magic come to sims 4. In the interim, he, as a teen, visited Forgotten Hollow frequently and made friends with all my played vampires. Kira, was introduced into the game with his brother Amriel. They were brought in as orphaned teens. Amriel was born a vampire so Caleb and Lilith took him and his human brother, Kira in. They raised the boys, and the rest is history. Amriel, funny enough, is a geek like Ethan so they became fast friends before Ethan even met Kira. It was while visiting Amriel that Ethan met Kira. Ethan loves video games and wants to be an e-sport gamer, and Kira is an artist in spirit and deed.https://i.imgur.com/DADiVS0.jpgFrom left to right: Ethan and Kira (pictured here as young adults)Now things get complicated.

You know. And I found Mimsy! Soo.. I've only spent a couple of hours, but I am really happy with the prelims. I've been working with three different looks. One that's very conservative, one that's modern but a lot like good girl, and one where she's a bit edgy. I am excited to get some shots up to imgur, but I have run out of time this AM. DARN YOU RL!! I know you've said patience isn't your thing (and believe me, I totally appreciate that), but I won't be able to get her posted until a little later....Would I do that to you? NEVER.Okay same old, same old here. I didn't change any of her features, I did a little push and pull (In Mimsy's case I needed to tweak the nose - again this is owing to my nosemask choices. And for Mimsy, I need to work the jaw line a little to pull off the profile.) So lot's of CC and a little push and pull. I haven't done the photoshoot, but this includes the CAS for all three looks and a handful of in-game shots for each. :)Mimsy VatoreSo this is the more conservative look:Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/VXw6kh8.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/8bVbxcF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/AMEMWOK.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/VXw6kh8.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/8bVbxcF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/AMEMWOK.jpgSo this is a bit more modern, but casual: Two of the in-game here are the same shot, just one is closer up.Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/324dPR1.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/9FxfOae.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/VwtgFq5.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/324dPR1.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/9FxfOae.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/VwtgFq5.jpgAnd..

Thanks so much guys! Vlad looks incredible and this photo has really inspired me with something I am working on (which I'll share in a sec). And I am all over that story, two shakes!Okay guys so I am actually looking for opinions of this one, and advice if you have any. With everyone focused so much on Vlad recently, I thought I would go ahead and see what I came up with in CAS for him, and I discovered (and here's my dumb shining through again) that he's actually a young adult, 'cause I mean I always thought he looked kinda "mature" if you know what I mean. So armed with this info and the awesome shots of that "younger" looking Vlad offered by @RedDestiny92 and shared here also by @NyteRose. I have some very preliminary CAS shots and was wondering what y'all think and if you have any opinions on what direction I should take him in. Now, I know y'all know Vlad is dead in Chatswin, but I am planning on using this version of him in telling my Chatswin backstory because he certainly was not dead when Jaiden first arrived in Forgotten Hollow.Ok Here's the CAS shots of Vlad (WIP):Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/u0by9GA.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/a3CrRk6.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/u0by9GA.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/a3CrRk6.jpgReposted From My Vampire Thread (Vlad with Fantasy-Style Wardrobing)@MaggieMarley Oh no, I changed him, what I mean is that I didn't choose a different shaped nose, mouth, eyes etc. When I talk about push and pull, I literally mean pushing and adjusting his features, but I try to keep it to a minimum, in a case like Vlad's where his features were very exaggerated (cartoony) I needed to do a lot of push/pull. Sorry, didn't mean to imply that all I did was put on CC, but some CC does have very striking effects on the shape of the face and body. In Vlad's case I am using nose overlay, face overlay, painted skin and contouring CC, in addition to skin details and makeup that add pores/skin texture, freckles, eyebags etc.. All of that contributes to the change.And since we are on the topic. What do y'all think of the changes? I think I'm getting close (although the outfit I admit is a bit much).https://i.imgur.com/iUHaDSc.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/4ppP6x7.jpgReposted From My Vampire Thread (Vlad - Choosing Hair Color)Spoiler (Highlight to read)@MaggieMarley Nothing to be sorry over.

I hope you like them too.This is a candid I shot last night of Lilith and Sylvie https://i.imgur.com/REJLziv.jpgIf you do like them here are a few more shots from a shoot I did with them a few weeks backSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/HYtfiqW.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Urbjkuo.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Jsl0vmH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/TdgkHPY.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/HYtfiqW.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Urbjkuo.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Jsl0vmH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/TdgkHPY.jpgReposted From My Vampire Thread (Lilith with fellow Kissed by Cain Coven Members) Also did a quick photoshoot last night (before testing the mod) of the biker coven (that I am now calling Kissed by Cain) so if you'd like to see them, here are a few early shots.Spoiler (Highlight to read)Holland and Biancahttps://i.imgur.com/BvLAZZX.jpgLilith and Sylvie (not a vamp)https://i.imgur.com/o58GRm9.jpgHideakihttps://i.imgur.com/mJNgNlq.jpgHolland and Biancahttps://i.imgur.com/BvLAZZX.jpgLilith and Sylvie (not a vamp)https://i.imgur.com/o58GRm9.jpgHideakihttps://i.imgur.com/mJNgNlq.jpg Reposted From My Vampire Thread (This post is long sorry and has a lot of story and background for other characters of mine that are not townies, but Lilith is part of them - so...)The Third Element is my Introduction to the coven itself. All of the characters have been updated and fully wardrobed. Their dark forms have been re-designed and updated and I have included a little backstory for each character.Introducing: Kissed by CainHolland Haverstockhttps://i.imgur.com/00G0Q2U.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/bDeZwRI.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/1lH2cPV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/udkaSO6.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/bDeZwRI.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/1lH2cPV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/udkaSO6.jpgHolland was embraced in battle by an enemy who respected his fighting skill so embraced him then left him to fend for himself as a test of his mettle. He is a warrior at heart and a rebel by nature. He met the love of his life more than a hundred years after his embrace and married her the night he embraced her. He is excessively superstitious and believes to this day in the old gods who he believes walk the land blessing and cursing mortals in accordance with their behavior. He, more than the others (even Bianca), believes that the Kiss of Cain (vampirism) is not a curse but a gift awarded to him because, in his case, he refused to die in battle.After he was embraced he was rejected as a demon by his people and has wandered since. He is not interested in making friends or expanding his family and has no regrets about not having children. He is a loner and rejects most authority (except that of the gods). He believes the gods have chosen him to reject the norm and rebel against authority because conflict is the only means to growth. He therefore believes it is his role to aid the gods by promoting this growth through his rebellion.Holland does not keep a herd and rejects and criticizes the act of blood bonding and “enthralling” mortals. He will take his plasma where he can get it but prefers to hunt his intended prey (sims) over any kind of fruit or pack made of fish and frogs. Holland is disinterested in the affairs of most mortals and will not think twice about using them as a food source, and he’s not the type to ask first. This is true of all his dealings with mortals. He is superior to them and has been raised above them by the hands of the gods themselves. He takes what he wants from them and does not suffer regret from it. On a very rare occasion he will take interest in or a liking to a mortal (such was the case with Bianca). He believes that these select mortals are revealed to him by the gods either because they are gods themselves posing as mortals to test his mettle or because they are also chosen of the gods and he is being called upon to gift them the Kiss or to help carry out some other plan the gods have for them.Bianca Haverstockhttps://i.imgur.com/b3jgn5m.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/30O2AoS.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/acPxhBZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ByCTqsR.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/30O2AoS.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/acPxhBZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ByCTqsR.jpgAs a warrior maid, Bianca was used to doing as she saw fit and taking what she wanted by force if necessary. She lived in a society where it was occasionally required to submit to law and tradition, but equally as acceptable, if that law or tradition was unacceptable, to battle for the right to reject it. When she met Holland, she had been hunting him with a group of warriors, not because she was some kind of vampire hunter, but because Holland had made her village his latest feeding ground. When she and her companions caught up to him, they fought to the death, but Bianca did not die like the others. Holland saw, in her defiance and prowess, an equal, and he took her for his own (enslaved her). She did not submit easily and spent a number of years trying to kill him and escape, but eventually she came to realize that his interest in her was more than that of a slave, and she allowed herself to consider him as a potential mate. Once united in purpose, Holland revealed himself to her and offered her marriage and immortality together. They have been inseparable since.Bianca is more practical and retains more of her humanity than Holland. She will often step in when Holland’s indifference to the human plight is at it’s most damaging. She is the only being who is capable of checking his behavior in this manner. She is by no means saintly, she just doesn’t see the value in mistreating things that are clearly inferior. Bianca shares many of Holland’s beliefs about the gods and legends, and she is also superstitious, but she does not share his belief that it is her duty to the gods to be anything. In fact, she does not believe she owes anyone any dues. She, like Holland will feed off whatever she needs to, but like Holland prefers her plasma from sims. She is more likely to be politic in obtaining her meals but has no qualms about taking what she needs if permission is not granted. She does not believe in keeping a herd or in playing with “thralls” or blood bonding. The last thing that would interest Bianca is something she needed to take care of whether it was for the gods or any other being. She has never considered sharing her gift through the rite of the embrace and it is very unlikely she ever would.Hideaki Hayashihttps://i.imgur.com/Bktbdsk.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Bktbdsk.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/91T6uHM.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/VD0LtcC.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/HOZJJqh.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/91T6uHM.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/VD0LtcC.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/HOZJJqh.jpgHideaki was once a monk and a scholar whose talent was the gift of art. He has never seen the world as others do (This is Hideaki’s original backstory when I created him for the 25 male characters in 25 days challenge. Since then I recreated him as a vampire to actually put in my game but his nature as described here remains the same.) In spite of being rebellious and difficult by nature, his family managed to secure for him a position at the royal palace as part of a cadre of artists and artisans for the royal court and family. Although employed in a relatively normal situation for someone of his birthright and social standing, Hideaki’s fate was to be very different than his fellow artists.One night while training in his physical disciplines at the dojo, he encountered a strange looking sim who was clearly drinking the blood of an otherwise defenseless servant. Hideaki who knew nothing of vampires challenged this strange creature only to be swiftly overpowered and bitten himself. He had been attacked by a warrior vampire who defeated him in battle then drained him to near death – leaving him for dead, but what he couldn’t have known was that amongst the artists living along with him at court was a vampire of the aesthetics clan. She witnessed the attack and could not bear to let his beauty and his artistic genius die, and so she fed him from her own vitae as he was dying. This is how Hideaki came to be embraced in the least likely of methods for any vampire of the old world - by two different vampires from two different clans. As a mongrel, his blood is, in general weaker than the blood of equal counterparts of full bloodlines. He can however utilize and is influenced by the disciplines of the bloodlines of both of his sires. Hideaki’s savior tried her best to teach him of his nature and the nature of vampires. She did her best to educate him in the laws of the world of vampires and in it’s dangers and benefits, but Hideaki was never meant to be a small player in the court of a royal patron. In keeping with his rebellious and wandering nature, he left the royal court and set out on his own.Driven by the sometimes-conflicting natures of the two sides of his embrace, Hideaki traveled in search of beauty and the ultimate aesthetic and was almost always driven to leave any place by his quest for the perfect aesthetic. Eventually he came north to the lands of the steppes and of the wandering clans of what could loosely be termed Vikings although by that time they were truly more like what came to be known as the Icelandic peoples.It was there that he met and befriended Bianca, by that time they had both been vampires for a long time even by vampire standards. Bianca got along well with Hideaki and was a draw for him like none he had ever known. It’s possible that Hideaki is in love with her, but that part of his nature which would be drawn to romance could never find reconciliation with his vision quest. She introduced him to Holland who immediately determined that Hideaki had been embraced because he was a seer and able to view things only the gods themselves could see. Holland still calls Hideaki by the nickname he bestowed on him when they were first becoming friends, Sjaandi (seer). For whatever reason, Hideaki has chosen for centuries now to accompany Holland and Bianca.Hideaki is a loner because of the unique way in which he sees the world. He very rarely makes a friend or is even able to understand the interests of others. As with all things outside of his work/art, Hideaki doesn’t even have an opinion about such things as keeping herds or embracing mortals, as these things are banal and do nothing to help him mold his visions. He often forgets to feed and ends up frenzied and dangerous as a result. It is fortunate that Bianca is inclined to remind him to feed before this happens too often.Lilith Vatorehttps://i.imgur.com/Jf51DkS.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/UXPgek2.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/J2aYzYi.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/1FIQPiK.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/UXPgek2.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/J2aYzYi.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/1FIQPiK.jpgMuch of Lilith’s story unfolds in Part III of the Circle of Love backstory, earlier in this post.Lilith is very young compared to the other vampires of Kissed by Cain. The nature of Lilith’s mixed-bloodline disciplines drives her to physicality and a sense of adventure. She is athletic by nature and something of a daredevil. She met what would become Kissed by Cain through a motorcycle club that she had long-term affiliations with and was a member of. Holland, Bianca and Hideaki are, however, not really accustomed to associating with any group of people for any length of time. When they left the biker club, Lilith was invited to join them in part because she was also a vampire of like mind but also for other reasons some of which are open to speculation. The fact that she is a Mongrel was certainly of interest to Hideaki who is also a mixed breed and Holland who believes that if the gods chose to bless Lilith with two sires of different natures, then surely she must be, like him, important to Their machinations. Bianca had begrudgingly given her credit for leaving Wolfsbane Manor and the comfort of Circle of Love’s affections to pursue a less traditional lifestyle even taking on a child that was not her own (see Sylvie Vaughn’s background). Lilith was in their eyes clearly as much an outcast, rebel and loner as they were, and perhaps that is why they chose to accept her into their fold. The four of them created their own coven and call themselves Kissed by Cain.Lilith’s difficult embrace and years of wandering had left her philosophy regarding mortals very different than her newfound coven. She finds herself quite attached to her humanity and she unlike the rest of Kissed by Cain is sensitive to the mortals and able to accept them as equals. She respects their motives and feelings and is among the vampires who would put herself out to gain their trust especially if she believed it would ease ill-will between the living and the undead. In her memory, Lilith’s mortal mother and the bond she had shared with Lilith’s immortal father will forever transcend the deaths of both of her parents even as it caused them. Lilith is inclined to feed by methods other than the draining of a sim of their plasma, and although the taste and draw of the plasma of sims is certainly a driving force in her undeath, she still refrains from feeding off the living when possible. When she must feed off the living, she is inclined to ask permission and if permission is denied, she will move on to a more willing candidate. Lilith is not inclined to keep a herd, or a “thrall” with one exception, the greatest love in her life, Sylvie Vaughn who she infuses with her blood not to keep her as herd, but to preserve her youth, health and strength.Sylvie Vaughnhttps://i.imgur.com/5nrrTnh.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/nbJ9PnD.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/lEMYJfz.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/nbJ9PnD.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/lEMYJfz.jpgWhen Sylvie Vaughn first became pregnant she had not yet finished high school, but as an optimist and still quite immature even for her age she probably couldn’t really conceive of the responsibility it would be to have and raise a baby. With childlike innocence she turned to the child’s father for support and received a brutal awakening when she was told by his parents (as well as him) that they would pay half the medical cost to take care of the situation. Sylvie had always dreamed of a large family and a happy home and was pretty devastated by what ended up being her first and only break-up.Sylvie was determined to have the baby and was sure that somehow she could take care of it, but she received a second eye opener when her parents also felt she should not keep the baby one way or the other and that if she wanted to have the baby she should place it for immediate adoption after its birth. So Sylvie lived at home and quit school during her pregnancy and went immediately to work. Being a cheerful person by nature and a quick learner in spite of her childishness, Sylvie was an immediate success as a mixologist in training. She managed to get a job at a local dive bar which was popular amongst the biker crowd, and there she dedicated herself to her job and to taking care of her son, Silas, once he was born.Her sweet nature was a hit with the bikers many of whom saw her as needing looking after. It didn’t take terribly long for her to begin making a fair earning from tips on top of her salary. She lived with her parents until she was able to start making enough money to move into a trailer at the local trailer park with another young woman in similar straights who was working her own way through culinary school and raising a daughter close to Silas’ age. The children shared a crib and the young mothers took turns watching them as each worked almost completely opposite shifts. It was while working at this bar that Sylvie met Lilith. She didn’t know why she was so curious about this one biker, only that Lilith wasn’t like the other women who walked around the bar half-dressed hanging on the bikers like groupies. She was independent and strong and Sylvie thought that if she could be like Lilith, she could surely make a better life and home for Silas.By the time Sylvie began to take a romantic interest in Lilith, years had passed since Silas and Sylvie had first moved away from Sylvie’s natal home. Silas had started school and was proving himself to be a quick learner and exceptionally charming child. But childcare had become an issue because Sylvie’s old roommate had moved out with her daughter a long time back and Sylvie was shuttling Silas between her parent’s house on schooldays as they had agreed to watch him now that he was getting older and taking him to work with her on the weekends when she couldn’t leave Silas with his grandparents. Lilith was very taken in by Silas and she began to spend time with him when they both were at the bar, doing things like helping him with homework and taking him to the park for some exercise while Sylvie was busy working. Eventually she asked Sylvie who by this time was dating her, if she could bring him home,(at that time Lilith was still living at Wolfsbane Manor) to meet her brother and the other guys she lived with. Sylvie agreed and that was how Circle of Love first came to meet and start baby-sitting Silas. At that time Circle of Love consisted only of Jaiden, Caleb and Don. Eventually Lilith arranged for Silas to stay with and be babysat by herself and Circle of Love whenever Sylvie needed it, and Sylvie was grateful for the help especially since she genuinely liked all the people involved. They were kind to her and were really taken in and enamored of Silas who was proving to be a quick learner and particularly skilled in the arts of charisma, comedy and mischief (but that is Silas’ story). For now, Lilith invited Sylvie to live with her at Wolfsbane Manor, which Sylvie agreed to, but that arrangement made it impossible to maintain any pretense that Lilith or Jaiden or Caleb were human. Sylvie already knew that Lilith wasn’t like other sims, but Lilith talked to her and explained to her about the true nature of the vampires that she and the others at Wolfsbane Manor were and Sylvie in her simplicity accepted it more easily than might have been prudent in any other circumstance.Still, as far as Sylvie was concerned these vampires had taken better care of her and her child than anyone in her life ever had, including her parents and other family members. They were well-educated, wealthy and more than willing to help care for and educate Silas not only in his school studies, but also in art, music, dance and a myriad of other skills that Sylvie had never had the time or means to learn. In time Silas, who understood very early on that he was living amongst supernatural beings, became infatuated with the idea of becoming a vampire himself. This was probably the driving impetus which led Sylvie and Lilith to take Silas, who was nearing his teen years, and move out of Wolfsbane Manor and into a house of their own in the nearby hamlet of Newcrest. This was not a breakaway from the vampires of Circle of Love completely. Their extended family at Wolfsbane Manor still took care of Silas daily after school and continued to teach and participate in their lives on weekends and vacations as well. They were the family Sylvie never had. With Lilith, Sylvie finally had the life she had dreamed of. Her own home, her little boy and a soulmate who loved her to share her life with.

Fun with Custom Content! Kirivian's Gallery of Custom Sim Makeovers

Hey everyone! Welcome to my attempt to show off some of the amazing collaborations I have had with folk in this community! Some of you may be familiar with my Vampire Thread (if not, please feel free to check it out! <@reddestiny92 ‘s Luciano Marcel with my own Endymion Stratus
https://i.imgur.com/mfld5E3.jpg
Essentially, I do CC makeovers of sims. And I had the awesome opportunity to work with sims created by some incredibly talented folk in our community. Some of these folks approached me to do these makeovers and some of them I “raided” (downloaded their sims off the gallery) and asked for permission to do the makeovers of and to post the results. I was thrilled to be so generously entrusted with the creations of these folk and flattered and over the moon that my work received such a positive and warm response. <3

The only problem was, I was working on a thread that was limited to a theme (vampires). Anyone who knows me can tell you I love my vamps, but I really wanted to reach further and so I started this project hoping to do just that - get some folk interested in having their sims get CC makeovers whether their sims are vampires or not.

I am preparing my first few posts on this thread to showcase the work I have done before, but I am hoping that maybe some of you out there will like what I do and want to work with me as well.
So please feel free to check out what we have created and let us know what you think. Thanks to all y’all in advance!
