~ F A L L ~ Last Pumpkin Spice Latte of the Season. Not ready for winter yet! Trying to finish a remodel on my second bedroom, soon to be office before the snow hits. I’ve decided I’m not much of a painter, but I’m trying my hand at novels. Let’s see how this goes… Also gotta love Willow my photobombing cat! I can’t ever take a photo without her coming up to see what’s going on! Haha, gotta love this sweet fluffy feline.
~ S U M M E R ~ “Hey guys, just wanted to share some progress on my house reno. The floor plan of the down stairs has completely changed to make it more open concept, removing walls that separates the kitchen from the living space and putting up walls to create a new guest bedroom, half bath, and laundry room. Kitchen is still a wip but please enjoy my summer living room. I’m currently loving these white and blue wildflower pillows!”
We left off with Sarah and William in a big fight that their daughter Jessica heard and was having bad dreams about her parents breaking up :(
But they made up and life went on in the lovely little Hylewood
Jessica was still worried about her parents and she rolled the want to be best friends with William. I think she's a little Daddy's girl and was worried about him, so they spent his day off talking and playing together. Meanwhile Charlotte was baking on her kids oven to keep her bake sale table stocked.
But Charlotte talked her mom into taking her to the library as she wanted to do some reading. (Probably to read the baker's report and get some new cookie recipes. Her muffins weren't selling too well)
Charlotte is my little bookworm so she rolled the want then to read 12 books! (I love the little kids section that @katyfernlily built!). While Charlotte read Sarah focused on making some new friends with the Baker Annie (who has since gotten a make over) and in the back is Annie's husband Tenya (the town doctor) reading as well. I hope he's reading up on delivering babies.
Now updated with the simblr.cc link as well! I know SFS was being a pain for me yesterday as I was trying to download, so please go check out simblr cc and download the files there as well! I've also posted a sneak peak of future CAS rooms under the WIP tab :)
Some Fall Themed CAS Background for your Sims 3 Games. More info under the cut :)
A huge thank you to Pilar Leon for allowing me to covert their beautiful CAS Backgrounds. This is the first of several I've done so keep an eye out for more.
And a huge thank you to Nectar Cellar for the tutorial!
The background uses a 2048x2048px.
The CAS Room Default will replace the basegame CAS Room.
The Stylist Room Default will only replace the Stylist Room. (The Stylist Room Requires Ambitions)
You can only have 1 CAS/Stylist Room Default at a time.

Today I’m sharing some home updates. My sweet friend Becca who I visited at the blogging conference is an interior designer and she helped us pick paint colors, and her husband and mine came and tore up walls, put in new floors, and put up trim and paint. I love the new black doors, white trim and finally white windows. Here are some before and afters! The Before of the entryway in one word was: Dark!
I’m so in love with the after. The bench was an antique store find, and I love the half shiplap, half painted walls Becca helped us with. I love all the flowers in this space and it’s so functional for our needs.
Here’s the before of the living room. Can you tell that we bought this house from some elder sims? But now I love how light and bright it is. The fireplace is my favorite and I love how now the center of our home feels so peaceful and inviting. We have also finished the laundry room and downstairs bathroom, so all that’s left is the kitchen/dinning area. But I think the next space I’ll be sharing is my office make over. (Or cute pictures of our animal friends! Speaking of Bella is being her normal self making a mess and photobombing these living room photos!)
Hope you enjoyed these photos! More to come soon!
“Baking day for a church potluck! Crossing fingers it turns out!”
Because there aren’t many ppl doing it for my game lol I need to know.
We left off with Sarah at the beginning of her pregnancy, the girls enjoying their summer break and William working on his career. To further his career William invited over local Law Enforcement Officer Ben Johnson and his wife Kate (ironically not pictured here but she is the local photographer you'll see later) for dinner.
The girls really just worked on their skills. Charlotte and Sarah did some painting and Jessica worked on her piano (The Atwoods are the wealthiest family on the Island and I figure they would want their girls to be a bit of over achiever proper ladies)
Soon enough it was time. William and Jessica had a good freak out.
Then the Doctor was called, and also the repair man to fix the dishwasher, while we have a baby in the kitchen because sims.
Welcome to the family Alexander Atwood! (Not sure if I'll stick with the A-Z naming for rotations but Alexander just seemed to fit).
I think William was after all quite glad to have a son and despite his early reservations was super attentive to the new baby.
Time to end their round by posing for a nice picture with Kate Johnson.
I’ve been in love with this set ever since it came out and I was so happy when @sims4luxury gave me permission to convert it. It’s been in my wips for a while so I finally finished it up and wanted to share with you!
This set has 8 New Items to make the cutest shops sims 3 ever did see. Information and polys found under the cut :)

Hey Guys! Wanted to start sharing my recent save. I’m playing rotationally in the beautiful Hylewood by @nilxis! This is my first rotation since finishing doing some of my own builds and I’m excited to share a mix of gameplay, story, and occasionally posed photos.
Atwood Family Bio:
Hello from Hylewood’s oldest family line, William Atwood’s great grandfather helped discover and found this Island and they have been helping the Island grow ever since. William is in the political career trying to make his way up to mayor. His wife Sarah is the local teacher and they have two beautiful daughters Charlotte (left) and Jessica (right).
One of the wealthiest families on the Island, William is a perfectionist who deeply cares about appearances. He makes sure his daughters are well behaved straight A+ students, while his wife helps brings out the family’s gentler nurturing side. William is perfectly happy with how life is going, but his wife Sarah thinks that maybe they have room in the family for one more.
