The Jackle-Thorn Household

[crown_of_antlers]

It seems that no matter where Neldor goes, Thorinor follows. And with Thorinor comes his lovely wife and household.


Thorinor Jackle-Thorn



And a shot of his attire. Don't ask what's under his kilt. That's only for Sarasvati to know.



For his appearance I used the following mods:

Four Assorted Sci-Fi Eyes as Contacts
Antlers Accessory
3 Ambitions Hair Converted for Men

Sarasvati



I'm not sure I like her skin tone, but I'll keep looking for mods that might add a more bluish gray as an option.

The household. I have them two horses, a dog and a cat. I like to give the non-controlled/npc families pets since it appears that the only World that gives any of the families pets is Appaloosa Plains, and I find it hurts immersion when Neldor and Aeronwen are the only ones who have pets. For this reason I have some player-made families in my game library which all have pets which I place on the other available properties. I like seeing the other characters out walking their dogs or riding along the road on their horses.



I might temporarily merge Neldor's and Thorinor's household so I can tell the game that the two mers are brothers. That should have an effect on how they react when they see each other around town.

Sarasvati looks fine.

I like the kilt. Is it part of the store updates?

It looks like Sarasvati's horse is spooked because Thorinor is looking at the horse as if it would be dinner, lol.

All of the sims games are a bit of a special interest of mine, so I am doing my absolute best to not info dump about ALL THE MODS you could use.

For the pets, there's a bit of a bug where strays don't spawn. Here's a cool article explaining the two mods to get and how to set them up. Its way, way easier than it looks.

Those antlers look pretty rough. These might fit him a little bit better - https://shokoninio.tumblr.com/post/58556930443/more-horns-from-skyrim-as-accesory-i-know-it-i
use packages, they work better.
there is also these, by a modder who specializes in animal sims - https://www.tumblr.com/ashuriphoenix/663437721279381504/ts3-lace-tsm-deer-antlers-more-colorable

Have you gotten the smooth patch? even with almost no mods it helps a lot and makes the game playable https://lazyduchess.tumblr.com/post/657467259898527744/the-sims-3-smooth-patch-21

I personally try to avoid using sims3packs as much as possible because even with all the fixes the game has gotten i cannot close my launcher without using task manager which is annoying. If you want to get package versions of the store content, and be able to be very picky on exactly what you put in your game, I can recommend this tumblr. I'm using the all combined versions with no problems -> https://blamseastore.tumblr.com/

I can keep an eye out for any elder scrolls skins, if you'd like. I know about khajiit and argonian ones, but you don't seem the type to want deformed broken skulled sims in your game. Making custom, animalistic heads in sims 3 never ends well.
