Jennail and Kvornan Tricou party crew with Gabriel Green, Chastity Gere and Mikeal Clayton with Virginia Thompson. They all live in Crowborough, but the party went wild in the different places of Downtown.
New Year's Eve Party with Rex and Danai!
New Year’s Eve Party in the house of Rex and Danai, they live in Bluewater Village, Old Town, but after some scandals they lost friends, so this special night they invited Cyd Roseland and his husband Jack Thompson along with best friends Rick Contrary and Violet Jocque, it was a wonderful party with zero drama and the best new friends that Rex and Danai will dream of.
Hey hey, welcome to my Simblr. At the moment I don’t have a particular theme, I kinda just post whatever I’ve got. But here’s some things that I enjoy in my gameplay:
- wholesome gameplay (meaning there’s certain destructive themes that I won’t actively seek out in the game… eg adultery etc cause no)
- representing my own culture positively (I’m Zimbabwean)
- challenging myself to build and play in unconventional ways
- exploring my creativity
- learning how to make cc so that I can eventually get into it
- making tutorials for hacks and alternatives on how to achieve things in the game when you lack resources. So far I’ve got a ReShade colour-grading tutorial.
More semi-related facts:
- I love maxis match. I absolutely adore it.
- I can actually draw. Might make some sims themed fanart someday
- really big on colour grading. What can I say, I like pretty screenshots :)
And um, yeah. I guess that’s it for now.

Rural Build Passion Project
Angela x Alex Love Story (I promise it’s not as weird as it sounds)
——————
The image is a screenshot from my test neighbourhood. Spent the past week learning how to install and use mods + cc :)
Ladies and gentlemen, sparks are flying. 💕
Figured I’d make a tutorial on how to achieve the ReShade look in your screenshots without ever having installed it on your computer because if you’re like me, your computer can’t handle it 😅
All you need is your phone and the free version of PicsArt.
I hope this helps someone! 🥰
Watch it here.
This week’s random gameplay screenies ~ ft one of my test hood comfort families
Angela went to the park today. She caught a fish. She was very happy. The end :)
Also I’ve been developing presets for my screenshots because I’m obsessed with colour grading so there’s that too ~
In my initial post about the rural build I mentioned that we keep our traditional rural homes as a way to preserve and honour our roots as Zimbabweans.
I wanted to keep that same idea in my gameplay.
So in ancient Zimbabwean culture, a family would grow and expand into their own community/legacy on one compound. The idea was that we would operate as a small tribe because everyone stayed connected. As the times have changed it’s not common to have these huge legacies staying in the same place anymore, especially since most folk now live in the city. But the sentiment is still apparent.
What happens nowadays is that when a person gets old they tend to want to go back to their ancestral home and live out the rest of their days there. They prefer this to being put in nursing homes because they prefer to keep their liberties as home owners, though without feeling like they’re getting in their younger children’s way.
Their children and grandchildren can then come to visit them there for the holidays.
I’m gonna implement a similar system in my game (for this particular hood) and have it be a vacation location because it’s supposed to be completely separate from their normal everyday lives. I like it because it feels familiar to how myself and many other Zimbabweans grew up.
It’s the perfect device to aid legacy gameplay too, because when the grandparent sims pass on I can have their elderly child move there too and so on. And eventually I plan to build other similar lots in the same area so that different families can have their own compound and that will create more gameplay opportunities too.
It’s a big project and quite ambitious. Idk how long I’ll keep at it, but for now I’m really into it so I’m doing as much as I can.
a birthday shoot, shameless slander, and a peeping tom. Man, what a weekend the girls have had.
Started off great with a night at the media studio for Chenai’s birthday shoot. The girlies got all prettied up and had themselves a good time trying out the newest photo hub in town.
Looked like the night ended on a perfect note. That is, until Marie and Batsi started with their cliquey act again…
Like she’s right there you guys. At this rate Chenai might be considering new living arrangements. These girls can be so fake sometimes.
-Next Day-
Marie decided she’d go on a date with the new guy she met some weeks ago at a chill spot. What she didn’t expect though, was to get followed into the restroom literally 15 minutes into the date…
Our girl was NOT having it.
Told him off and the creep had the nerve to try and downplay it, talking about some “wE’rE bOtH rOmAnCe SiMs So I kNoW yOu WaNtEd iT” like ??? Sir?? Goodbye. Date immediately cancelled. He’s lucky she didn’t call the police. She was just too shocked.

Yeah. Never again.

So I never did character intros bc I hated the first batch of screenshots I got for this household which means I’m posting in the middle of the story. Nonetheless I’ll still give a brief description of each girl:
Chenai, the one in red. - she’s supposed to be my main sim for this storyline. She’s freshly graduated from uni with a physics degree and no sensible job prospects. So far she’s in education but she’s only there for the money. She wants to save and get her home place since right now she’s renting a cheap dorm with 2 other girls. She’s tried to be friends with them and on the surface they seem to get along, it’s just that those two tend to exclude her sometimes and she’s not sure if she’s all about that flaky business. She’s evil, a tinkerer, and unstable.
Marie, the one in blue. Nobody knows where she came from; but rumour has it she’s some D-list celebrity’s secret child and she’s trying to climb the ranks to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Currently in the slacker career she’s well on her way but shows no signs of talent or unique skill that would make her stand out. The most she’s got going for her rn is her charisma and good looks. She’s found a best friend in Batsi, though no one can figure out why they get along since they couldn’t be any further from each other personality-wise. Marie is a diva, coward, and has a green thumb.
Batsirai AKA Batsi, the one in pink. Batsi had a harsh childhood that set her up to join the military as soon as she turned 18. She’s often perceived as abrasive and intimidating because of her resting expression and aversion to speaking unless she likes you. As she rapidly advances through her military career, Batsi begins to wonder what the next step will be for her with 24 on the horizon. She’s been wanting to start dating since she never had the luxury as a teenager. But it’s hard when you’ve got her reputation and the men around you are all so beneath her standard. In the meantime, she embraces and enjoys the bond she has with Marie. She likes Chenai too, but that girl tends to keep to herself too much so it’s hard to stay close. Batsi is an angler, absent minded, and has commitment issues.
Now that I’ve given a bio for each girl I feel less depressed about my older screenshots of their household. Gonna dump ‘em here so that I can delete them finally.
Chenai looking for a job at 2 in the morning because she’s just gotta make it in life. She’s sitting in her cheap dorm room (only calling it that bc it’s too small to be an apartment).
Marie and Batsi in a club restroom on a spontaneous night out. Chenai was sleeping so they didn’t ask her to join.
Batsi comforting Chenai after finding her crying in the kitchen over losing her job just a week after getting hired.
Marie and Chenai on bathroom cleaning duty together.
The girls all sitting down to have lunch together after/before work while Chenai talks a little too excitedly about burglary (her LTW is to be a criminal mastermind so do with that what you will).
Marie suddenly getting the ick during a date with a guy she’s pretty attracted to.
Batsi having to deal with her co-worker’s unwelcome advances.
Aaand we’re all caught up. This is generally everything from the start.
Ah yes, almost forgot to upload what the ‘apartment’ building looks like.
I don’t actually have apartment life because I play Super Collection so I did my best. Also that (dura)wall around it is realistic to how properties in Harare are typically constructed. There’s always a durawall for privacy.
