Summer 2014 birthdays

Yay, birthdays! I love birthdays almost as much as I love weddings, which is a lot!
Anyway, by the time this goes up, all the Sim profiles will be updated to reflect new ages and living situations and such. I have two new residents this summer so while one of them can't really be considered a birthday, I'm throwing her in here anyway!

Rebecca Kirby has turned 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year. Don't you love the gap-toothed grin? All child Sims have it with these skin tones but it looks extra adorable on some kids.

BV Travel Poster recolours (more added 30/11/09)

I've been asked a few times where I got the recolours and the different sizes for the BV Travel Poster. I use them all over my Sims' houses but had no idea where they came from until now.

I just happen to be rereading Strangetown, Here We Come at the moment and came across a post of strange_tomato's from a few months ago, where she links to the very recolours I've been looking for! Her post is here - so go and download and enjoy! There are still some I have in game that I must have picked up from elsewhere but I remember getting most of mine on the same day, so the majority come from the links in S_T's post.

And while you're there, you should read SHWC, if you haven't already. It's a fantastic story and it's wonderful the second time around as well. :)

Magnoliae also has lots of recolours of the Maxis original mesh and of some of the size-adjusted custom frames.

Limelove has some recolours of one of the square versions of this frame here.

Edit 10/3/10: There are some recolours of the original mesh at Anna's Sims.

(Georgette is 73, Eliot is 28, Amelia is 24, Wade is 23 and Cordy and Luc are both 20)

Narrated by Zaria Royce

After graduation, Max and I moved into his parents' house. We've been living here for almost 2 years now and I'm still overwhelmed sometimes at the sheer size of this place. The whole house must be ten times the size of my old house and their kitchen is bigger than my old bedroom!
