Maxis Match Hair CC FINDS
I love all of the creations that @savvysweet makes and I am sharing this just in case it is useful to anyone else. Black culture representation in The Sims 4 is so very important to me. In the Black community, whether you have kinky or curly hair, loving what naturally comes out of your scalp can be so challenging. That's why I love seeing creators like Shelly doing what they do and changing the narrative of beauty.
This is a kinky hair appreciation post, in case you were wondering.

Bob Pancakes has never been better. Ever since he left his toxic relationship with Eliza, he's started going to school and finally got a promotion. He's now a Chef thanks to his degree. Of all his successes, his greatest accomplishment is his son ❤
one fo(u)r all cas challenge by @madeofcc
I was tagged by @seaniesam. Thank you for the tag!! 🥺❤ It was pretty eye opening to explore different aesthetics on my Simself that I could potentially wear in real life. You really learn something new everyday. Before now, I had no idea what a choker was 😂
Rules : create a sim or choose one you like then create 4 alternative versions of this sim. you can’t change the body presets / face details / eyebrows. but you have to change everything else in order to create four other sims with the same base.
This was my rendition of the One Four All CAS challenge and I had so much fun playing along! My favorite alternate universe Simself would have to be my attempt at creating an eboy aesthetic in the 3rd image above. I really need to find that entire outfit in real life.

#faceyoursims challenge by @samssims
“This was a trend on instagram called #faceyourart, Post 9 faces of sims you have 100% created (not born in game) to spot similarities and to see your style.”
Here's my take on the #FaceYourSims challenge! I saw it trending and thought I'd join in. I was tagged by @seaniesam . I use to fall under the category of "same-face-syndrome". I can honestly say each Sim I create now is unique. It's so nice to see the evolution of my Create A Sim style because I know for a fact that my earlier Sims looked pretty awful.
As the year wraps up, here's a few of my favorite builds that I made in 2021

Pride Collection CC Kit by make_it_sizzle
I’m excited to announce the release of my Pride Collection CC Kit. On this special month of June, we celebrate Juneteenth and Pride month. As an African American man who also happens to be gay and play The Sims, creating this CC kit was so important for me. I truly feel as though the spirit of Storme DeLarverie should be in each and every one of us, which is why I named one of my CC items after them.
Below is a brief history of the two holidays.
If you do not already know, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrated annually on June 19th, its origins date back to 1865. On June 19, 1965, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced that enslaved people were now free. However, the enslaved people had no idea they had already been emancipated. That June 19th announcement arrived 2 and a half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863.
The first Pride was a riot. Pride Month is an annual celebration of many of the contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community to cultures, society, and history worldwide. Pride commemorates its roots in the Stonewall Riots that occurred on June 28th, 1969. As was a common practice in many cities, the New York Police Department (NYPD) would occasionally raid bars where gays and lesbians were known to gather. On June 28, police dragged patrons and employees out of Stonewall In, a popular gay bar in Manhattan, New York, and several people fought back against the NYPD. It was said that Storme DeLarverie, a gay rights activist, threw the first punch at the riot. A crowd of people slowly but surely grew which turned into a 6 day protest which was led largely by Black LGBTQ+ women that marched the streets of Manhattan.

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit obsessed right now with a particular series called Pose. I know I'm late to the craze. All my palm colored friends knew about the show and were practically begging me to watch back in 2021. I'll be the first to say it. Black-ish was a show made about black people for white people to watch. I thought this was one of those same situations. had this one friend who recommended me the show. I told that boy, "I live episodes of Pose everyday. I'm a 21st century autistic, queer black man in an America that is constantly trying to tear down people who look like me". I was fearful that this series was going to be another example of glamorized trauma porn media showing one-dimensional struggles of black people because honey, I already have enough to share with the WHOLE world. But truthfully it wasn't as bad as I thought. The series revolves around the HIV/AIDs crisis. Funnily enough, I've actually noticed many parallels to the BLM protests, covid-19 pandemic and the hysteria surrounding monkey pox. During the 1980s and 1990s, many queer people were kicked out of their biological parent's homes. Mostly in fear of the unknown of what HIV could bring their families. And this fear forced many kids out on the streets. The series follows the lives of a group of characters who are part of the ballroom scene, a vibrant subculture in the LGBTQ community where individuals compete in dance and runway competitions, forming "houses" that act as surrogate families. The characters faced several moments of discrimination, prejudice, and hardships but also found strength and catharsis in their chosen families and artistic expressions. I really admire how the show tackled the hardships and they really didn't sugarcoat anything. Overall, the show presents a rich tapestry of themes emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance, community and advocacy, all of which are things that a modern black queer person like myself can really resonate with. I truly saw myself in so many of the characters.
Functional Modern Luxe Purse
The Sims 4 Modern Luxe Kit was done in collaboration with Sims creator Xureila. All credit goes to The Sims and Xureila, who worked so diligently to create this beautiful kit for us. Since the late 1950s, video games have been a popular American pastime. The gaming industry continues to entertain us, educate us and help shape our views of the world. That's why I am so glad to see evolution of black culture and how we as a community continue to shape The Sims franchise.
This EA mesh edit requires Modern Luxe Kit in order for it to work. Included with this add-on is added functionality to that gives us twice the functionality in one object with "The Baddie's Bag": (1) a lunch bag for quick-meals/drinks and (2) a place for Sims to store their inventory items.

It had to be done. I separated that beautifully crafted, elegant mirror from The Sims 4 Modern Luxe Kit vanity. Major thanks to Xureila and The Sims for creating this kit for us.

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while and I’ve got another small batch of CC for you all!
This is my first age conversion project. It was an interesting process learning how to do this. If you've grown up in a black household, you've likely seen kids with this exact hairstyle. I just HAD to bring it to The Sims 4 :)
