PRIDE MONTH <3

Hey guys,
With it being pride month I wanted to start a discussion small or big to share your pride builds, sims, storylines  and more. I want a safe space to share this and kindess, the last few days I have seen so many comments online regarding pride month and their celebrations taking place that are hurtful, upsetting and for me hard to understand why! And it made me realise whilst I am not LGBTQ+ myself it is so important to be an aly in any way you can, and to start any discussion no matter how small!

Hope to see some comments & photo's below or head over to my gallery page and share :D
On the gallery all builds are under #shandylou97 as I cannot use the underscore :D 

My Pride Month Build!! 
My legacy sim's daughter Aria (pictured below) is moving out with her new wife.
I wanted something super fun, bright and pride themed for them to get started :D
It is on the gallery and is also a tiny home (Gallery as Pride Build - shandy_lou97​)

Happy Pride Month <3 - #shandylou97Aria Cotter-Price (They/Them Pronouns) - #shandylou97

    Thank you! I tried to use love struck and it is out of my usual comfort build style but means a lot! Had to include the star themselves! 😄

  • Looks great shandy_lou97​

    I'm working on my Pride project too🌈! I had a really cool non binary Townie appear in my game named Swan Gonzalez. For once this was no randomly generated oddly dressed Townie nightmare! This new Townie stood out for their style for the right reasons and already has such a cool name that suits them perfectly. They befriended my student Sim and I decided to add them to the game with a home and fun life. I'm just designing a little apartment for them and I'm thinking about what to do for their career or degree, that's this afternoon's task. I looked up the non binary flag because as an ally I'm still learning and I'm using those colours for their little apartment. So that's my project.

    simsplayer818​ Aw that is amazing! It's like the game sent you a sign, we love alies in any way, I would love to see the apartment when its all finished!!!! :D 🌈😍

  • This week's update! Aria and Alexandria's home is ready, the happy couple be on their own soon enough and can't wait for their own space, Aria icomnes froma long line of legacy sim's and has 2 half siblings Holly and Claus, there is a big age gap between them and the other sibling so privacy is key! 🌈

    shandy_lou97​ I'll add it to the Gallery when I'm finally happy with it as it's not letting me add an image from my mobile here 😠. Swan has now adopted a free spirited stray cat who matches Swan's Laid Back Trait (which I've never used before but added with a cheat). Swan has also joined the college soccer team and they are crushing karaoke too and becoming super popular along the way, they are the chill cool friend that everyone likes to go for a drink with. They are studying Art History and crushing that too...go Swan 👏!

    The apartment is tiny so it's taken some work to fit cat furniture in it but I did find some that match the flag colours!

    Next I need to introduce them to my existing LGBTQ+ Sims in my game. So far they've been collecting autographs from my LGBTQ+ celebrity Sims. But I like my Sims to have strong friendships and community and it occurred to me they are all kind of separate in my game, except for the couples. I thought this would be a good chance to link everyone together and actually make it a proper LGBTQ+ community.

     

    Update: I've added these apartment rooms to the Gallery now. Non binary living space and Non binary bedroom are from 1312 21 Chic Street in San Myshuno.

    It is great that Swan’s Art History studies are going well and that they are enjoying karaokeing. It is nice that they have adopted a cat 🙂
