Hi folks, I know that this section of the Forums is kind of dead, but I have a particular love for this round of Spark'd's Creature Challenge and I had so much fun creating new and updating old households of mine that I thought I'd share them here. I'm an avid Occult player and love to put strange Sims into my game and match them with some of the amazing builds that I find on the Gallery. I'm going to put each household in a new post to try to declutter and if there are several pictures, I'll put them under spoilers. First household I want to share is my Happy Haunts Staff. The idea came from the second place concept winner in the community stuff pack vote and I still hope that the theme will be a game pack one day. So as part of my own vision as to what this kind of pack might be like, I made these guys. The story says: "Ghost trouble? Missing that relative who won't let you rest because they can't? Call 1-666-H-p-p-y-h-n-t and our Undertaker will fix all of your haunting needs! Let our Oracle get all the answers you don't want to hear while our on-site Gravedigger finds out who's really dead (or not)! Or, get an appointment with the Gatekeeper and speak directly to your Reaper! (Now hiring!) At Happy Haunts, we're not happy unless you're haunted!"They can be found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/9810ACD81BDD11EB8F081AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=falseThe Staffhttps://i.imgur.com/Qe5IwEd.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/rfvLs5Q.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)The Undertakerhttps://i.imgur.com/bFFQhqq.jpgThe Gravediggerhttps://i.imgur.com/EzMVKXZ.jpgThe Oracle and Gatekeeperhttps://i.imgur.com/32G0Mq3.jpgThe Undertakerhttps://i.imgur.com/bFFQhqq.jpgThe Gravediggerhttps://i.imgur.com/EzMVKXZ.jpgThe Oracle and Gatekeeperhttps://i.imgur.com/32G0Mq3.jpgThanks for viewing!

My next creature household is The Four Horsemen of the Simpocalypse. I've always loved this concept and had a great time designing them. The post reads: "The Four Horsemen of the Simpocalypse! Their coming is an omen of doom! War, Famine, Death and Pestilence are destined to wreak havoc on Sim Nation and bring destruction and despair to all!"Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/5617062C1BDD11EB8E1A1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=trueSpoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/UhfXcTx.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/GO54Ivb.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/UhfXcTx.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/GO54Ivb.jpg

This household was something I wanted to complete for a while and the Spark'd Challenge gave me the motivation to do it. I already had an Egyptian Queen and her household in my game, but I really wanted the Gods. I have a passion for ancient Egypt and have a collection of items in real life so finishing this household made me very happy. "The Ancient Gods of Egypt! Osiris, god of the dead, the underworld and afterlife, resurrected by the mystical powers of I-sis. Lady Bast, goddess of protection, pleasure and cats. The mystical goddess I-sis, of magic, fertility, healing and rebirth. The tumultuous Set, god of darkness, storms and chaos. And the enigmatic Anubis, guardian of the dead, walker between worlds, and god of cemeteries and mummification."Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/105487D11BDB11EB86411AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=trueSpoiler (Highlight to read)Osirishttps://i.imgur.com/gscaWnt.jpgBasthttps://i.imgur.com/24YezVO.jpgI-sishttps://i.imgur.com/oE773hB.jpgSethttps://i.imgur.com/ZzjKeys.jpgAnubishttps://i.imgur.com/rGgoZCh.jpgOsirishttps://i.imgur.com/gscaWnt.jpgBasthttps://i.imgur.com/24YezVO.jpgI-sishttps://i.imgur.com/oE773hB.jpgSethttps://i.imgur.com/ZzjKeys.jpgAnubishttps://i.imgur.com/rGgoZCh.jpgNote: I'm terribly sorry for the hyphen in I-sis, but the word is censored because of that group. This is why we can't have nice things. :(

Next I have The Loa, the spirit-gods of Voodoo. I already had made a Papa Legba inspired by American Horror Story and a voodoo Mambo named after Ayida, so I did some new tweaking and added Samedi and Brigitte to the group. I really wish we would get Zombies and the ability to raise the dead from a grave as a Zombie, Ghost or regular Sim so my Team Voodoo can make some mischief. "The Loa spirits visit when the Houngan or Mambo summons them properly in a Voodoo ritual. They can be benevolent, but they also tend to make a lot of mischief with the foolhardy. So be wise and respectful or it will be your undoing!"Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/F0AD17541BDB11EB892E1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=trueSpoiler (Highlight to read)Papa Legbahttps://i.imgur.com/Pluae6k.jpgAyida-Weddohttps://i.imgur.com/rqA19aA.jpgBaron Samedihttps://i.imgur.com/Hd4jGfR.jpgMaman Brigitte (A side note: Brigitte came from the Irish gods so she is known to be the only "white" Loa.

I might as well put my Hindu Gods here next. Apparently, I really like religious mythologies. I wanted to make these two Sims look as close to the popular art depictions as possible, with the beautiful colors and blue skin and rosy complexions. It was hard, lol. I need more headdresses and ceremonial outfits in CAS! The post reads: "Shiva, the mighty Hindu god of destruction and restoration... and Kali, the Dark Mother, goddess of destruction, death and fertility. (I really felt that Kali needed her golden headdress so I had to improvise in her dark form.)"Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/8724A2EB1BDB11EB87FB1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=falseSpoiler (Highlight to read)Shiva:https://i.imgur.com/YfYpSvo.jpgKali (including her dark form but we really need an obsidian, true black skin tone.)https://i.imgur.com/Y0EhAz5.jpgShiva:https://i.imgur.com/YfYpSvo.jpgKali (including her dark form but we really need an obsidian, true black skin tone.)https://i.imgur.com/Y0EhAz5.jpg

I like I-sis and Kali best. Is Kali a vampire?

And the last Sim household (although I still have some pet submissions) but certainly not least, I submitted mainly for Halloween. Pennywise the Dancing Clown from IT. I absolutely love the book and part 1 of the films and the Bill Skarsgard portrayal. It was just for fun, I had already started him a while back, and it was interesting trying to make his face scary enough, especially in his monstrous form.

"Happy Halloween! Don't be afraid or IT will come for you! IT knows your nightmares!"

Thank you! Honestly, I feel like doing all of these households has helped me find my flow and develop more style. My older Sims' features look a lot less interesting to me now. I feel like I've been limiting myself all this time to trying to make more "realistic" or "attractive" faces, when what I really want is more character to stand out, to show the Sim's personality in their features. I've always loved Vlad and his weird face because he's such an interesting looking Sim.

I feel like it took me six years to finally get my style right, lol. I had to push myself out of my comfort zones a lot. I also had to really familiarize with the CAS pieces, which there's a lot of. But now I wish the feature manipulations were a little more flexible because I'd like to push them even a little further sometimes.

Here's an entry that's almost a little more "normal". This is probably one of my oldest creations that I based from a Sims 2 household that I had years ago of The Seven Deadly Sims. They were all female so I made them female again. I used to have The Seven Virtues as well in Sims 2, that were all male, but I haven't gotten around to creating them in Sims 4 yet.

For this group, I wanted each Sim to express their "sin" on their face somehow or other. It was one of the first households that I did some tweaking with eyes, brows and mouths to try to show specific emotions and expressions. I kept almost everything original, just changed one or two pieces of clothing.

"The 7 Deadly Sins/Sims. I gave them each a color scheme and tried to keep their outfits and personalities true to their themes. Sloth is drab grey and simple/sloppy, Pride is pink/purple and fashionable, Envy is nerdy, plain and green, Greed is golds and silvers and expensive, Gluttony is cooking outfits, Wrath is fiery colors and rips, and Lust is red and sexy."

They can be found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/D15B60261BDA11EB857E1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=false
