@GiardiniDiMarzo , while I'm not familiar with those fandoms, it is obvious you put a lot of work into your Sims, especially Kappa and Siren! 😃
I take it Siren is named after the Greek Sirens and Kappa is named after the Japanese Kappas in the mythologies of those countries?

Well, here are a few of my recent Sims in my favorite outfit for each
Here is the Sim, Eloise Tobias, from the Frog scenario. (I normally am not a fan of orange clothing, but it looked good with her hair, and I wanted to use a hair I hadn't used in a while.)Here is my Sim, Kailee Flowers from the PlantSim scenario. I was going to pick another last name, but Flowers just seemed too perfect for a Plant Sim!
And I love her formal outfit... This is my favorite thing from the My Wedding Stories GP!
Here are the Sims I'm using in the BFF scenario. The mom is Cayla Sheridan:

And her daughter (the one who is the subject of the scenario), Blair Sheridan

I do not use CC. I tend to play a lot of families, but with either experimenting with new packs, testing for things to answer a question on AHQ, and with some of the new Scenarios, I do have a lot of single Sims or families of just 2, depending on what I'm testing or what challenge I'm doing. 😉
For example, as soon as I check out the outfit for the new Moonlight Chic kit, I will make a couple of Sims using mostly clothing and hair from that kit. I will post them as soon as I make them! 😄- GiardiniDiMarzo4 years agoLegend@PugLove888 They are two very different webcomics, Novæ is the story of an aspiring astronomer and a necromancer, while Castle Swimmer takes place solely at the bottom of the sea, Siren is a shark merman, and Kappa is a koi carp merman. The author I think never specified exactly the origin of their names, but it could be as you say.
Your original sims are also beautiful, my favorite is Kailee!- PugLove8884 years agoHero (Retired)
@GiardiniDiMarzo interesting! Yep! Those do sound like 2 very different web comics! 😄
I first knew of Kappas in Japanese mythology through the Animal Crossing series. There is a character that looks like a turtle to westerners, but the clue to his identity is his name, which is Kapp'n. I later saw a video on the history of these mythological creatures, and while in some older stories it seemed that Kappas were more of a foe, it seems that in some more recent stories they were more benevolent, at least according to the video I saw. Other sites only mention their pranks and bad behavior. But in Animal Crossing Kapp'n is a friend!
And while my Greek mythology is rusty, I do remember reading about them in the Odyssey! They are bird-like creatures that sound like women singing and lure sailors with their voices, usually to their doom! Odysseus was able to avoid going to their island because he was warned about them, and took some precautions!
Thank you! 🥰 Yes, Kailee was so beautiful that I had to give her one of my favorite hairstyles! She even made a cute PlantSim, but not half as pretty as a human! 😅 Now that I have finished the PlantSim challenge, I want her to start a family while painting for a career. I had her garden and paint outside a lot to get sunshine, and when she wasn't doing that she was swimming so she wouldn't wilt! 😅
@JonaO703 I love how the mom and daughter have names that sound similar without starting with the same letter! 🥰 I love both shirts that father and son are wearing, along with mom's hairstyle. I think that one came in a free update some years ago , and I always thought it was a really cute hairstyle (But then again I love curly hair!).
Nice home too! 😍
