Please could you also upload your sims and lots tray files on SFS? I love their look and the background you wrote up for them. Looking to populate my game with your sims and lots

Hi, I’m so happy that you like my builds and sims!  The tray files for all the builds I’ve shared are available for download at SFS (the links are on the download posts).  My two most recent sims (Shiva and Soledad) are also on SFS.  I will work on putting the tray files for my other sims on SFS when I get a chance (and I’ll add the links to the original post).  Let me know if you have a favorite so I can get to that one first.  Thanks for your message and your patience!

Hello again! (update under the cut)

I haven’t posted much in the last few months (although I have been enjoying everyones’ content).  I hadn’t intended to go on hiatus but life just got in the way.  I had no time to play or create new content and truthfully I was feeling lackluster about the game but with the exciting news about Seasons and a bit more free time, I’ll be posting more.  Thanks to everyone for sticking with me! 

Thanks for tagging me @retro-pixels​ & @thespangleway​ ♥

Answer the 12 questions (There’s 12 months in a year… so why not?) and tag 5 other simblrs!  ❄️🍂🌼☀️

1. What is your favorite season? It’s a tie between Spring & Autumn. 🌸🍃

2. Do you prefer warmer or colder weather?  Colder weather; I get really grumpy when it’s too hot.

3. What do you do on a rainy day?  Nest at home… reading books or magazines in bed while listening to the sound of rain outside my window or every so often throwing on my rainboots and splashing in puddles. 🌧️

4. How is a typical winter where you live? Cold or not?  It never truly feels like winter where I live in Northern California (no snow, ever) but it does get chilly during the night.

5. Have you ever experienced snow?  Yes, it’s magical.  ❄️

6. True or false? “I LOVE RAIN!” True, but only when I can stay indoors. ☔

7. What is your go to food in the summer?  Fruit, salads, and paletas (especially strawberry, watermelon, or pineapple).

8. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?  Pistachio, caramel fleur de sel, Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food.  🍦

9. Coffee, tea or cocoa? EVERYTHING?  Definitely everything (also add hot apple cider).  ☕️

10. Describe your favorite seasonal clothing item?  The minute I feel the slightest hint of Autumn, I’m eagerly anticipating all the cozy, warm sweater coats, scarves, and boots.   🍂

11. What is your favorite Holiday?  Christmas and Halloween

12. If you were a season, which one would you be?  Autumn  🍁

Hello, I would really like to download the Glamourista Apartment, but it can only be done in the gallery, but I have a pirate version, it is no longer possible to throw this house archive?

Hi.  I uploaded the tray files at sim file share (and added the link on the Glamourista Apartment download post).  I hope you enjoy it and thanks for wanting my builds in your game!

Do you take wcifs? If so, wcif Simone's necklaces and Nayeli's shoes from your Valentine's day post, please? I lovvveeeee them.

Hi, yes I’m wcif friendly.  I searched all over for the necklace but unfortunately it’s not available anymore.  

Luckily the boots (which are some of my fave shoes) are right here.

“Forever mine, forever thine, forever us…”  

  Happy Valentine’s Day! 💋

is ur converted warehouse up for downloads?

My converted warehouse is not available for download yet but I’m happy to share it soon.  I’ve received a few requests to share builds so I’m doing them in the order I received them (yours is the 3rd).  I think I’ll be able to finish it by the end of the month.  I wish it was sooner but real life has kept me busy lately. Thanks for your interest & patience! 

Thanks for tagging me @piphpancakes​!

RULES: There’s surely a sim out there you’d like to fondle…with your eyes only of course!  Well, it’s time to tell it to everyone.  Don’t be shy!  Choose a sim (made by another simblr) that you’d like to fondle if he/she was real… and then tag 5 simblrs.

I’ve seen his tag go around simblr a few times before in my year and a half here. The first time, my reaction was something to the effect of “Um, what?  Some of you simmers are a bunch of pervs!”  The second time (I was actually tagged this time around), I thought “You know, there is a cute sim (Angelo Occhilupo) that comes to mind.”  And this time my first thought was, “Ooh, how many sims can I pick?”  So yeah, I guess I’m officially a card-carrying member of the pervy simmers club (I think we need club jackets or something cool like that).  Oh my, to what depths of depravity have I plunged? 😂

Anyways, without further ado, the sims I rather fancy are… still Angelo Occhilupo by @thespangleway​, Jayce created by @thosefuckingsims and developed by @penelope-and-wonders​, Lee Sallinger created by @floppant​ and developed by @budgie2budgie​, and Warren Dupont by @budgie2budgie​. 

Judging by my picks, I’ve come to a few conclusions.  First, the above simblrs must possess some sort of magic to actually be able to create hot male sims because honestly if EA had its way they’d all have the sex appeal of a Ken doll. My final conclusion is that I must have a weakness for complicated bad boys with a heart of gold (excluding Warren, who’s a real sweetie).  Ugh I know, how terribly original of me.  

Thanks for tagging me @mwgaybachelor!

Rules: Pick a character you’ve created, fill in the questions/statements as if you were that character, and tag at least four people to do this meme.  I tag @simonmars, @retro-pixels, @joliebean, @barleycoffee, @paper-lioness, @heartmeadows​ & anyone who’d like to do this tag.

What is your name? Luna Diosa Santos

Do you know why you were named that? My name means Moon Goddess in Spanish.  I come from a long line of witches and curanderas and my mom named all her daughters after types of goddesses (my sister’s name means Love Goddess in Spanish and Zapotec).

Stop being a Mary Sue!   Um, what?

Oh, how about pets?  Of course, I love animals!  I have a black cat (Nuit) and a Siberian husky (Stella).

That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like.   Ignorance about witches, meat, cruelty, disrespect for nature.

Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?  Sadly, I don’t think you can avoid hurting someone in life but I’ve never intentionally hurt someone.

Ever … killed anyone before?  No and I hope to never have to.

What kind of animal are you?  My animal familiar is a cat.

Name your worst weaknesses? Dessert, collecting too many keepsakes, holding grudges.

Do you look up to anyone at all?  My grandparents and my mom.

Are you straight, gay or bisexual?  Straight

Do you go to school?  I was homeschooled for elementary school but I went to high school and college.

Ever want to marry and have kids one day?  Perhaps.

Do you have fangirls/fanboys?     Not that I know of.

What’s one food that tempts you?  Just one?  I’ve never been around a chocolate dulce de leche cake without hearing the siren call.

Am I annoying you?  Of course not.

Well, it’s not over!   I could go for days.

What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?  I’m very blessed to be more than comfortable (I inherited money from my deceased father).

How many friends do you have?  A lot.

What are your thoughts on pie?  Can I have some now?

Favorite drink? Tea

What’s your favorite place?  In my garden, lying on a soft patch of wild grass under a very old willow tree and gazing at the night sky.

Are you interested in anyone?   Maybe

That was a stupid question…  Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean? I love swimming in the lake, it’s so calming!

What’s your type?  Mysterious, intelligent, and tall, dark, and handsome.

Any fetishes?   Wouldn’t you like to know!

Seme or Uke?   Right about now I wish I had my great-grandmother’s ability to read minds.

Camping or indoors?  Does glamping count?  I love being in nature but I also love a bit of comfort.

RULES: It’s not just our Brooding Sims who have the option to ‘Talk About Feelings’; we can also talk about our feelings too!  Look deep into yourself and ponder on the thoughts which motivate you to play the game we all love. Then tag at least 5 people on your friends list to help them explore their feelings too. I was tagged by the lovely @annabellee25​.  I tag @budgie2budgie​, @anotherplumbob​, @kyranyx​, @paper-lioness​, @jenba, & @mwgaybachelor.

Answers under the cut...

The questions are as follows:

1. The boss of EA is in front of you asking for one statement about The Sims before he goes away and makes TS5. What do you say to him?

Please take your time developing TS5 and create a fully-formed game that takes inspiration from the best features of the past games: open world, CASt, more content, more building tools, more worlds, deeper gameplay, etc.  I know it may be a tall order… but be motivated to create the best game possible, listen and value long-time players’ ideas and suggestions, give the developers carte blanche to unleash their creativity, and invest in the future of this game instead of being driven solely by profit (although I actually think these changes would result in higher profits).

2. Do your Sims know you as their Sim God or are you the invisible deity to them? Well I am kind of omniscient and omnipotent in my game, at least when there’s no game bugs throwing me for a loop.  But I like to let my sims have some autonomy too; it results in some spontaneous moments that are very entertaining.

3. How do you see yourself connected to your Sims? Do those of you who say you love them, really mean this? How deep is your game? It always surprises me how attached I get to my sims and how much affection I feel towards them.

4. What’s your Sims Secret? Is there something going on in your game that none of your screenshots will ever tell us? WHO IS LOCKED IN YOUR BASEMENT???? What are those secret Sims doing behind closed doors? Don’t worry – no poor sims are locked in the basement or trapped in a pool. My sim secret is that I use the motherlode cheat for every single sim I play.

5. Can we learn anything from our Sims to take away for our real lives? And/or can you give us an example of how The Sims has influenced you outside of gaming. 

Playing the sims introduced me to the sims community, which encouraged me to come out of my private shell and start a simblr to interact with other simmers.  It reminded me how important it is to have a creative outlet.  I also learned how to use Photoshop as a result of creating my blog.

Rules: answer 30 questions and tag 10 people

Luna waits for Nayeli and Simone to show up for mint tea and delicious baklava from a local Moroccan tea room.

While Luna was browsing the bookstore, Nayeli and Simone checked out street art and hit the food truck right before they sold out of their raved about fish tacos.

Luna, Nayeli, and Simone went on a day trip to San Myshuno to take in the many sights, although Luna spent most of the day browsing the extensive occult section in her favorite Spice District bookstore.
