Acacia's Unwanted Admirer

Glorawen and Andravan - Sims 3 Style
Apr. 4th, 2025 07:37 pmAeronwen's great grandparents Glorawen and Andravan who came to Morrowind in the Second Era. I REALLY like how they turned out.

Preparing for Wedding Themed Screenshots
Mar. 18th, 2025 02:02 pmOnce the spring season finally rolls around in Vvardenfell I plan to start taking wedding themed pose screens for Aeronwen's journal. I have been looking at community lots to use for the settings and have chosen to go with this one: Romantic Little Church.
This lot fits the Dragon Valley world (and Moonlight Falls) perfectly. It's also very versatile. Ceremony poses can be set up either inside the chapel or out in the garden.
I made a few changes to it, mainly removing some of the shrubs in the garden and replaced them with pink rose bushes. I also removed the grim reaper statue and replaced it with the "Alexa Full of Hair" statue. This statue could represent any Daedric Prince or Divine who tends to appear in a female form.

Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Career
Jan. 10th, 2025 12:18 pmThis afternoon I found another medieval career mod for the Sims 3: Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Career
One of the branches has a "ranger" career line, so the next time I'm in the game I'll remove the "Hunter" career mod and replace it with the D&D one. This is exactly what I wanted for my Elder Scrolls characters.
I have almost all of Lost Pantheon's Fantasy/Medieval career mods installed and figured out how to set up NRaas Story Progression to only allow inactives to be placed in those jobs. This way I don't end up with inactive sims running around my Elder Scrolls themed worlds in modern day career clothing.
In my
aeronwen journal Aeronwen and Neldor continue to slowly work their way through the White Wolf of Lokken Mountain questline. One they're done with that I'll need to think about how much time I want to allow to pass before they would start thinking of returning to Vvardenfell. From a story standpoint I want them to remain on Lokken until enough time has passed for Caius Cosades to return to Cyrodiil and the blight/Dagoth Ur issue to be dealt with by another character. At that point in the Morrowind main quest I don't think they would have to worry about being forced into being spies for the Blades.
Perhaps around that time their siblings come to Lokken looking for them. *files this idea away with the other plot bunnies*

More Sets for "SimShots"
Nov. 29th, 2024 10:46 amOver the past week I set up some additional sets for upcoming installments for the
aeronwen story blog. After much deliberation I decided to have the side quests that take place in the city of Vivec play out in the town of Ebonheart. As mentioned before, I'm not even going to attempt to build Vivec. While I have an excellent gaming computer, I think such a city would really bog down whatever world I placed Vivec in.
That being said, there are some, shall I say garishly colored palace and castle mods out there that I considered using to represent the city of Vivec, but the fact is that Aeronwen doesn't go to those big settlements very often, and since I have already done some lore bending and breaking to deal with the issue of Vvardenfell's wildlife, I figured I may as well simplify things by changing the location of some of Morrowind's quests.
Now for the screenshots: ( Read more... )

My Winter Desktop Wallpaper
Nov. 22nd, 2024 09:54 amI set up this scene in the Great Bear world:
( Read more... )
I'm going to use the Great Bear world for any fan fiction scenes that take place in Solsthiem. The world isn't populated so I don't have to go around kicking out households. Really all I'll need to do is replace the modern looking rabbit hole buildings with medieval looking ones that use rabbit hole rugs. Most of the residential houses can be retextured and refurnished to make the town look like a Nordic village.
The only thing I can't change are the modern looking roads in the center of town but I can use Krita to edit the orange and while stripes out of the screenshots. So...I don't know exactly when, but at some point in the
aeronwen story Aeronwen and Neldor will be taking a trip to Solsthiem.

The Three Merry Widows
Oct. 14th, 2024 01:43 pmI've been seriously considering giving the Three Merry Widows their own profile on the roleplay forum, and if I do I think I'll use this screenie as their avatar, which was created using the Poser mod.

Inside WRAT Talk Radio
Sep. 29th, 2024 05:14 pmEveryone knows about Nerst, the rat of far above average intelligence who broadcasts everyone's dirty laundry all over the Ascadian Isles, but here we have a rare look at the tattle-tale rodent near his Mobile Radio Station which is set up in the corner of the Rosewood barn. Apparently he is about to conduct an interview with Oliver the donkey. I shudder to think of what sort of things they'll be talking about.

A More "Light Weight" TES World
Sep. 26th, 2024 01:03 pmFor a while I've been a little concerned about my TES themed Sims world due to the fact that loading, saving, and exit times have become quite long (and this is even before a new generation has been born). If it's so slow and bogged down now, what will it be like later when children are born and more time has gone by?
Now for the record, I am not surprised by this having read the warnings and experiences of people who play with a lot of custom neighborhoods and large households, but I decided to proceed because I wanted to see what would happen. I am not going to delete that save and will still play it at times just to see how far it will go, but I knew I needed a more stable world for Aeronwen to write about in
ascadian_rose. So I started doing some research on what I can do to keep a highly customized world going.
Time for a cut since this is a long entry: ( Read more... )

More Images Captured by Nerst's Reporters
Sep. 3rd, 2024 03:58 pmNow that Nerst's reporters have cameras there has been an increase in curtain and blinds sales as town residents scramble to protect their privacy. Of course curtains and blinds don't stop the capture of confrontations that take place outdoors or within shops or taverns.

A Werewolf in the Woods
Sep. 2nd, 2024 09:47 pmAfter this evening's little dust-up, Gilvoth will probably storm into the town hall and demand that the new park torn down because "there's werewolves in dem dare woods".
Fearing for his safety, Gilvoth Dagoth did the only sensible thing and threw 623 septims in the face of his assailant Usanda Moon Leaf. The Feral was noted to have sniffed the cash for a second, picked it up in her mouth, and finally swatted Gilvoth for good measure before vanishing into the woods.

Battle of the Supernaturals
Aug. 30th, 2024 05:54 pmIt really seems like all the Ravenwatch household wants is to live in peace. And survive just by consuming plasma fruit plus plasma from willing donors. Unfortunately some of the other town residents insist on making trouble for them.
Nerst only sent out three reports over the past game-day, and one of them wasn't even worth going out over the airwaves: ( Read more... )

Even More Fun With Poses
Aug. 29th, 2024 11:20 amThese pose screens have created ways for more characters to have their pictures featured in the blog, and I'm sure some of them (like Yanna and Tanor) enjoy the extra attention.

Nerst's Reporters Now Have Cameras
Aug. 28th, 2024 11:51 amErr...I mean memory crystals. Small, thin, rectangular memory crystals that they use to capture images of the people they are spying on. Uh, I mean getting news stories about.
It was actually a slow news day, which is good since I needed to figure out what little tricks I needed to pull with the Master Controller to get characters from different households to use poses together.

This Town Needs a Bigger Hospital
Aug. 26th, 2024 04:37 pmThe Molag Amur region is starting to seem safer than...expanded Pelagiad or whatever this place is called these days. Most of Nersts reports have been about who has been beaten up and who has checked themselves into the hospital. ( Read more... )
Discovered Pose Mods
Aug. 24th, 2024 02:42 pmA group of my favorite mods for Oblivion were the posing mods because they allowed me to create screenshot/story illustrations for my character blogs. Although I'm not writing anything about the MorrowSims, I decided to try out some of the Sims 3 Pose mods, especially after I found some horse-related ones:
Love and Horses
Family Horse Riding
Both of which require the base mod: Pose Player
I'll be looking at the other pose mods, but I decided to start with the horse ones. Granted the poses in the Family Horse Riding mod isn't near as great as it would be if Sims 3 children could actually ride, but it's the next best thing.
Mini-rant: Why can't the Sims 3 children ride horses? Many people who ride in real life started when they were children, and very young children at that! If a modder can figure out a way to make children look like they are on a horse, then surely the game developers could have allowed them to truly ride.
Rant over. Now for a few screenshots: ( Read more... )
