Wrapping Up with a Holiday Lookbook

Hello again. I've had to take a bit of a break once more. This time it was due to a medical emergency - namely, a Pulmonary Embolism. I won't go into great detail, but basically that is when a blood clot travels to your lung(s) and needs to be treated either with blood thinners or surgery. I'm on blood thinners for the next six months... and then, I don't know. But until then, I'm just trying to get back to normalcy as much as possible. 

I've been able to play the Sims in my free time, but I haven't resumed creating any content yet. I still plan to finish some of my smaller projects like my latest lookbook and perhaps sharing some Sims that I've been working on over the last few months.

I know these projects may seem small or insignificant, but they mean a lot to me right now, since I've struggled so much this year and this has been something that I could focus on to keep my mind off of the more stressful, serious life stuff. I tend to get discouraged about my creative projects and sharing what I'm working on because it's hard for me to get back to life in between the doctor appointments and health issues. Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing, rather than truly living.

I hope that I'll be able to finish a few projects this time around and share some new things from my little corner of the Simsverse. Welcome, if you're new and thanks for checking out my content!

I'll be sharing Bella's holiday lookbook on Instagram and my Simblr (links below if you'd like to check it out). 

 

Happy Winterfest, Simmers! Keep Calm and Sim On. Stay safe!

80s Teen Bella Goth

So. Update. 2021 has been, personally, an even more difficult year for me than 2020. I have dealt with injury and recovery - all on top of existing disability. I'm not saying that to complain or garner sympathy, but to simply explain why there have been more delays to my website, creative endeavours, etc. I don't have much of a following at the moment, which is fine since I am struggling to keep up as of yet, anyway. My "reach" isn't top priority for me because I share my content from a place of creative expression and love for design and art. I appreciate anyone who is interested, but it doesn't drive my creative process.

Side Note: If you create Sims content as a job, that's completely valid and I'm not discrediting that avenue. I'm simply explaining my experience with my own content and how I would like to keep it as a hobby/creative expression, personally. I'm completely impressed by the content that has come from the creative people who have made Sims content a full-time job

 

I've recently been able to return to playing the Sims, which has been a refreshing relief in this dreary year. I have missed it, immensely. It's always been a happy place and special interest of mine. I decided to start out just playing Vanilla, since I felt that would be less overwhelming right now. I love CC, obviously, but I'll return to that in time. In the meantime, I've been happily building, creating sims and playing.

 

The first creative thing I've done outside of the game is to make a noCC 80s Teenage Bella Goth inspired by Remi Marocelli's Bella Goth: Reborn series on YouTube. If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend it. Here is a link to his YouTube channel: lReMi07l.

P.S.: In my imagination, Bella loved vibrant and neon colors - pink, purple, blue, green - with a white accent as a teen in the 80s. Her love for red and black came later as the years went on and her tastes changed and matured. This version of teen Bella is playful and whimsical, while adult Bella is elegant and sophisticated

Happy Autumn, Simmers! Keep Calm and Sim on. Stay safe!
