Feathermooon: Mayanna, Kelliana, Maurelm, Aurorawind

A few more before I leave town and cannot Sim for awhile:

Here's Mayanna's family:

Mayanna is there with her husband, her step daughter Thywispist has the green hair, Kesia is the child, Thywisp and Esheria are smooching in the lower right.

And here's a closer look at Mayanna and Kesia:

Feathermoon: Skyborne, Tirith, Ysani, and Dir

A couple quick ones:

Skyborne and Tirith!

I'm sure there's much better clothes that I could put Skyborne in, but I wasn't sure what, so as with Grenka and Astrani I went by the profile picture. :p

They were a pretty fun couple. First a pillow fight, then a water balloon fight...

Feathermoon: Ilarra and Corise

Today, we've got Ilarra:

She's got a cute little cabin in the woods. She stopped to do some birdwatching on her way home.

Feathermoon: Yva, Tarquin, and Annalea

So, I went around to do a few updates to reflect current RP, such as making Yva be pregnant. (Gotta admit, I did it via hack - Sim!Yva and Sim !Tiberious haven't actually even met each other yet. >.>) Yva embraced her RP-inspired reality with gusto:

Once she finished with that, she headed to the common room of the apartment complex. Tarquin was there playing pool:

And Yva was like, Anything you can do I can do better!

Feathermoon: Fells

Dwyndle, our resident gnomish nun, designed a ridiculous confection of a wedding dress for Fells. I had a vision of my head of how that would work and I had to realize it.

She's really supposed to have a ponytail, but that hat is SPOT ON.

Feathermoon: Aelflaed

All righty, less clothing, more Simming! Here's Aely!

Feathermoon: Varenna and Silveria

Just a quickie - here's Varenna and Silveria:

They live in the same apartments as Malanie, Flo, and Lyirdanna's family. I'm not thrilled with Varenna's dress - I need t find something a bit more period appropriate. Also, apparently Varenna has been harboring a secret crush on Malanie - she was super intent on flirting with her pretty much as soon as they met. I had to intervene to get her to pay attention to Silvy.

LOVE EACH OTHER, DAMMIT.

BONUS PICTURE: I think Nertiah found out where I live, you guys:

Feathermoon: Akeelah and Mellery

Yes, I'm spending way too much time doing this. What can I say, controlling you people is fun.

Today, we have Akeelah, Mellery and Lara!

There really was no feasible way to make a Melvin, sadly.

That picture was before Mellery & Lara were height-adjusted; here they are now:

Mellery's robot arm SHOULD be pretty visible, I hope!

Feathermoon: Fearinal and Zhàlar

As I tried to decide who to do next I asked myself - Why the heck haven't I done Fearinal's family? Fearinal-player's big into the Sims, it'd be fun, right?

Look how cute they are! There's Fearinal and Zhàlar, plus Fearinal's biological son Meldarion and their adopted son Brennan.

Feathermoon: Alishe and her Tea Shop

Let's spend some time with Alishe's family!

I started off with Torriah and Folorin with them, but I was having trouble finding a house that would fit them all, so I separated the families. (And, of course, as soon as I did that I found a house that would have worked perfectly. OH WELL.)

Feathermoon: Verdus, Kelyr, Dorri'tow

All right, here's my latest experiment:

PEACECOW!

OK, the horns are too big, and I need to recolor the horns, ears, and tail, and I need to adjust the outfit a teeny bit, and he'll never look quite right because he doesn't have that hunch that "real" Taurens do. BUT LOOK AT HIS COW FACE IT'S KINDA CLOSE RIGHT?

Through the magic of Sims-land, he gets to wear an eyepatch AND the Nordrassil garb at the SAME TIME.

Feathermoon: Mesion

Had some free time this weekend, and I thought I'd be crazy and make another mesh. Here's Mesion!

He's got the druid Nordrassil recolor set that the Guardians of Hyjal druids all wear. His beard is scruffier than it is supposed to be, but after making new meshes for the clothes, the hat, and the hair, I decided I didn't want to mess with it.

Anyway, I didn't have a lot of time to actually play with him since creating stuff took so long, but here's a couple shots of him in action:

You catch those butterflies, Mesion!

There was an option on the Sim interact menu that I didn't recognize - it's probably always been there but I hadn't seen it before. I picked it and he started rapping.

Corrienda's not even on the lot and she's going "OMG DAD STAAAAHP!"

Much more serious and in character, here he is reading a book.

True story: One third of all the vertices in this body are in his feet. Hurray for TOES!

Feathermoon: Malanie, Kirotei, Lyirdanna, Erimus, Eimhir, Homrend

Dropping off a few more because suddenly holy crap January's over and I'm going to have a lot less time!

Malanie:

Kirotei:

Might be a little too Legend of Zelda-y, not sure.

Feathermoon: Yva

 Real quick, for the lulz:

Here's Yva and Niall.

\

Her runes are all covered up, so I'll have to make her go swimming or something to show them off. Niall is dressed all fancy because he's a LORDLING.

I moved her into an apartment (apartments for nearly everyone so there's room enough for everyone!), and here she is being all sweet with Niall:

BUT apparently her reputation preceded her, because here's this random gaggle of elderly ladies who are protesting her moving in:

(trollolol WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE I HAVE NO IDEA.)

Feathermoon: Fun with Height Adjustments

Here's the Bad Idea Trio with all their heights adjusted. Illithias is 8 feet tall, Lorelli is 6'8" or so, and Kyraine is about 6 feet.

Here's a better look at Lorelli and Illithias. They were fighting out back while Raidax was making another Inquisi-sandwich for dinner. He was just minding his own Sim business when he saw it out his window. Lorelli won; that's what the stars spinning above Illi's head mean.

Raidax ran into Shaila while he was out shopping. He's like 6'2", she's 4 feet.

Feathermoon: Raidax

I mentioned before that I've experimented with custom meshing. Well, I've always wanted to do the paladin Judgment set, and Raidax gave me a good excuse to do so. Meshing can be a tricky process - besides getting the 3D model to look right, it has to be linked to the skeleton and all the files and everything, and there are a lot of points where it can go wrong. Like this:

Please, Raidax, do not smite me with your noodly appendages!

I got it worked out last night, though, and here he is!

The game said he needed a last name, so this is now Raidax Inquisisim. And now, we'll have some fun with him. Here are many pictures after the cut because I am so gleeful about my new 3D model.

Feathermoon: Duerma and Kaetta

 Slowed down a touch, as I'm not trying to fill my sad lonely life while Lightlance is gone.

I moved Duerma and Pizmo into a pretty new house that is closer to my head-canon of what their house actually looks like:

Plus, they had been in a neighborhood I made in like 2008 or something, so I had to move them to my new neighborhood. (Old neighborhood was filled with WoW characters who no longer play anymore, and such awkwardness as Tarq still married to Ceil.)

Feathermoon: Kalaalexin, Hinote, Kyraine, Maranwe, Rollandren

A couple more quick ones:

Kalaalexin:

Hinote and Sarah, her daughter:

Kyraine and her dog, Blue:

Wasn't sure what kind of dog Blue was, so I made a black lab. I can always change that! And I'll probably change Ky's outfit to be something more casual, since she cant sheathe the sword and that gets inconvenient when using the bathroom. I picked the armor for this, though, due to Lore's awesome picture she finished last week.

Maranwe & Rollandren's family:

I don't have any good orc hair, so he's wearing a hat.

A few action shots after the jump.

Feathermoon: Dwyndle

Here's Dwyndle, Feathermoon's resident gnomish nun:

 She's watching you sin.

Most of the custom content I download is awesome. Every so often, though, there is a glitch, and hilarity ensues. I gave Dwyndle a job in the Priest career path (her job, amusingly, is cleaning the Cathedral), and the carpool arrived to take her there (the church is next door to her house, but whatever, we don't need your logic in Sims land). Well, somewhere there is a missing skin, which meant that the lady who came to pick Dwyndle up from work was COMPLETELY NAKED.

The juxtaposition of the character, the career, and the bug had me cracking up something fierce. And now I'm off to figure out what went wrong.

(PS: That's Tiberious down at the bottom of the picture, chillaxing and playing chess at Dwyndle's place while she's at work like he belongs there.)

Feathermoon: Illithias, Tarquin, Annalea, and the Thornwoods

A few more - my kids are amused by Sim creation, so churning out Feathermoonies has the added bonus of some quiet time when they're not trying to kill each other.

Here's Illithias and Slade. I need to recolor the burn so it fits the skin tone better and I also need to make it layerable with the nelf face markings, but I think I got pretty close.

They moved in next to Lorelli, though I will probably change that so I can make Illi's arboretum on the balcony.

Here's Tarquin and Annalea:

My five-year-old kept asking me "why does that girl have a beard" on account of Tarq's glorious hair.

And apparently, Tarquin likes birdwatching. I plopped them into the game long enough to get an apartment, and he whipped out the binoculars first thing.

Here are the Thornwoods - Hexerei, Kost, Prayce, and Tiberious. I haven't decided if I will make Tiberious move out and get his own house or not, but I put him there to begin with so they'd have the family relationship without having to get hacky.

Unfortunately, that made the relationship a little TOO familiar - here he is bonding with Kost by tossing the old pigskin around while Hexerei watches:
