what are the eyes/blush used in your default skin post?? everything about the vibes of those sims is immaculate and i want it đŸ€Œ
Hi anon, thanks for the love! The eyes are the N13 eyes by Poyopoyo & the blush is the Flushed Blush by Simulation Cowboy, which was converted to infants by JellyPaws! I probably also layered it with the booboo blush &/or moomoo blush by sqeamishsims/squea.
Thanks for the love! <3

what eyes did you use in your cotton candy skinblend pic?
Hey anon, sorry this is so late! I deleted the model, but I'm 99% sure they're these Dune eyes by ValleySims (though I'm also fairly certain I added some extra catchlights, probably one of the ones from peachyfaerie)

Stardrop! Default Skin Replacement
Tumblr media
It's yet again time for me to go through another spell of hating my current default skin.
...and thus, after much tinkering around in Sims4Studio and CmarNYC's Skininator, this beauty was born!
Additional details (and dl info!) under the cut!
This default skin blends a ton of my favorite skin details from my favorite creators (including magicbats, pyxis, nolansims, noodlesims, plumbhead, & lamatisse), as well as some hand drawn details from yours truly.
+ Ages Infant-Elder
+ Feminine and Masculine
+ Maxis match & maxis mix friendly (a great base for layering additional skin details on top of!)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
There's some additional blush added to the models above (and CC eyes, obviously), but otherwise, what you see is what you get.
Before you ask, yes, yes I did name it after the item from Stardew Valley.
Enjoy & thank you for your support!

Into the Forest: A Legacy Challenge
Think about the forest: how each tree stands tall and proud, a singular force amidst the rough and unforgiving terrain. However, what we don’t see is how each tree is connected. Underneath the ground, invisible to our eyes, lies a complex network of roots all interconnected and sharing their same story of life—and death—as the forest grows. This legacy challenge is much like this, where each individual stands tall on their own. However, we will have their roots exposed, and we get to see firsthand how some roots nourish and others infect. This is the “Into the Forest,” challenge.
Rules of the challenge: complete all challenge rules, ALL aspirations must be completed (careers usually  as well, but some are generation-specific), genders are never specific unless actually specified, and remember to have fun! tag #forestlegacy if you play this challenge and show me your sims!
When it comes to sim design, I know a lot of people like to have a color scheme (as do I) so I kind of tried to associate the generational color to the appropriate leaf and tree colors. I included the main color I used for each sim in the description but you are free to do whatever you wish with these sims, as this is your challenge and your opportunity to have some fun!
GENERATION ONE: ELM
Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy Career: None/Odd Jobs Traits: Noncommittal, High Maintenance, Romantic Color Association: White
You grew up with the perfect life, literally. Born to two wealthy, beautiful and successful entrepreneurs, you lived a life where your only worries consisted of which party you had to attend to next and whose bed you would be residing in that night. You’ve been surrounded by success, entertained by only the highest social circles. But all good dreams must come to an end. Your parents have given you an ultimatum: either graduate from college as a doctor or lose your inheritance. What’s a sim to do?
Being an adult is hard, however, and hardly ever goes as planned. Your partying lifestyle eventually catches up to you, and after a drunken night out with your best friends you end up having a stranger’s child. Now alone with an unwanted baby, your desperation becomes inspiration. You’ll show your parents you never needed to become a doctor.
master the violin skill, painting skill, and knitting skill (you can choose a different skill of your own choosing if you don’t have the pack)
make at least 2 good friends with at least one “negative” personality trait, party with them at least once every weekend as a young adult.
throw at least one party where your sim has 3 first kisses within the event (for funsies lole)
complete at least one week of university (or work) before having a one night stand that results in a daughter (you can cheat for this, and if you’re playing as a sim that can’t get pregnant, you can impregnate another sim and raise the child alone.)
drop out of college after having your child
live in an apartment for your entire YA life
have at least 2 children as a young adult that you are not close with, but your third and all others you have as an adult will have high friendship as they are considered a “planned” pregnancy (high friendship, high romance with partner/spouse). this child is your favorite. and it’s blatant.
marry the parent of the third child and move out of your apartment and into a home. no specifications on the build but think of it as your “white picket fence” moment.
GENERATION TWO: MAPLE
Aspiration: Soulmate Career: Education Traits: Gloomy, Neat, Unflirty Color Association: Orange
Born to a parent whose social life was more important than the lives they made at home and another whom you never knew, stability was a nonexistent luxury you have always craved. You are unfortunately also the eldest daughter to a single parent, meaning you were the free babysitter. You smother your siblings in love and affection but can’t help but resent your parent for forcing you to give up your childhood years to play mommy. You barely had time to have your first kiss! You would dream of finding a love worth working for, secure and patient and warm, and you would recant these stories to your enraptured audience of baby brothers and sisters.
Your parent settling down finally gives you the opportunity for a new beginning. But maintaining relationships outside of the home is now a foreign concept, and the world can be a cold and cruel place. With the few relationships you were able to salvage as a youth, you slowly etch out an existence for yourself that is uniquely yours. You find the love and patience you gave your siblings translates really well into your new career and you turned cooking meals from a chore into a healthy and productive hobby. Now that your life is finally in your control, maybe it’s time to rekindle that broken dream and find your true love?
maintain high friendship with all of your siblings
have a bad relationship with the parent you were raised with by the time you move out. it’s your choice whether or not you want to fix this relationship later on in life, but it cannot be until after you’ve moved out of the house.
make no more than 2 good friends as a child/teen (you’re too busy raising your siblings to make any more)
master the cooking and writing skills
reach max level in the Education career
marry one of your childhood best friends
have at least 2 children and make sure they get all toddler skills to AT LEAST 3 (hoping for 5) and make sure they get straight A’s in school
have family dinner nights once a week
publish at least 10 novels in your life
GENERATION THREE: CHERRY BLOSSOM
Aspiration: Renaissance Sim Careers: Retail, Culinary, Tech Guru Traits: Genius, Lazy, Slob Color Association: Light Pink
To say you’ve never had a worry in your life wouldn’t actually be an overstatement. Growing up in a loving home to parents who were able to provide for your every need made you a little more than spoiled, to say the least. You’re grateful, though, from the bottom of your little heart, and want nothing more than to prove to your parents that they raised a champion. You dive head-first into every project that sparks an interest to you but find that your focus dwindles and you can only absorb so much. It’s not that you’re unfocused, it’s just that there is SO much else to learn! People just can’t understand the life of a professional hobbyist.
This habit translates into your social and professional lives eventually, leading to a series of failed jobs and (even more heartbreakingly) failed relationships. You’re a smart cookie, however, and know that persistence is key. You will sow the seeds of greatness.
master 0 skills for sim’s entire lifespan (skills with only 5 levels are allowed) and never max out a career in your life
have level 8 in at least 10 skills
have 3 failed relationships as a Teen/YA, marriage is optional for this generation but if you choose to marry it must be no earlier than as an adult
move once as a YA, and then again as an Adult
must have twins (can cheat for this)
obsessively play one non-skill building activity (like darts or foosball) because you would totally be a professional at something that had no value lmao
GENERATION FOUR: REDBUD
Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity Career: Actor/Actress Traits: Good, Creative, Loner Color Association: Purple
Some labors of love bear bitter fruit, as you have come to witness with your own two eyes. Born to chaos, you couldn’t even take your first breath without being outshone by the other sibling in the room. It didn’t take long for them to realize they could steal your spotlight easily, and because they were rotten to the core, they delighted in your misery with every opportunity they took to do so. It didn’t help that your parents were busy with their latest fads and flights of fancy, even with the ample love and education they provided you. There really wasn’t any other choice BUT to enjoy being alone.
Your perceived invisibility breeds a lot of resentment, and you vow from a young age to break out of your shell the moment you can. So you plot, and plan, and create in your own little world, waiting for the day you can stake your claim to fame. The life of a wallflower is just not for you!
be enemies with your twin for your entire life (twin must have the evil trait as one of their traits. this is literally your evil twin moment)
master acting and charisma skills
master one music skill (guitar, piano, violin, singing)
never lose a celebrity star once it is gained
host 5 gold-star dinner events with a social circle of friends
marry another celebrity
have only one child
GENERATION FIVE: MAGNOLIA
Aspiration: The Curator Career: None Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Hot-Headed, Materialistic Color Association: Hot Pink
Sure, you are happy that your parents got to follow their dreams and find fame. You could even say that you appreciate the fruits of their labor, given the excess with which you hoard your treasures. However, not once has anyone in this house asked if you shared that dream of the spotlight. Because if they had, they would know that all you want is to spend your time in the dirt, hunting for frogs and finding treasure. You long for the simplicity of a hands-on existence, building your own calluses as your pave out your way.
Much like a dragon, you have spent your years amassing piles of priceless artifacts that you lovingly refer to as treasure. From gemstones to friendships, you have meticulously curated your entire existence out of the spotlight. Some might call you a perfectionist, others a micro-manager, but you would call yourself a sim who knows exactly what they want. This is YOUR claim to obscurity.
make money exclusively from the duplicate items you collect. believe me when I tell you, you will have enough money lmao.
must breed frogs for your entire life, collecting all 25 frogs is not required but if you enjoy the challenge I recommend adding that to your list of requirements
master the fishing skill
collect ALL 15 fossils and ALL 20 crystals
have a trophy room that contains all of your collectables because you really do deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor
have a high school sweetheart and marry that high school sweetheart
when you have children, enforce a strict curfew and ensure they all have good grades in school
GENERATION SIX: REDWOOD
Aspiration: Bodybuilder Career: Doctor Traits: Active, Self-Absorbed, Kleptomaniac Color Association: Red
Perfection is something that is often sought after, but rarely achieved. However, with the advantages that you were given in life—a stable, loving home and a strict regiment—you would be bereft to admit that you are working your way towards your ideal life. And a sound mind, a solid body, and a steady job are the rewards you have sown. The world is your oyster, literally, and everything you grab on to is yours for the taking. And if you rub a couple people the wrong way in your pursuit of perfection, then that is just the unfortunate consequence of success. Not everyone will be able to appreciate the hard work of those who strive for greatness.
So when life throws you a major wrench in the form of a certain annoying sim, you find that your perfect focus begins to dwindle. And, soon enough, you find yourself falling in love. Will this newfound revelation be enough to humble your ever-growing ego? Can you find yourself settling down with someone who is your total opposite, mind, body, and soul? Will they ever let you fish for compliments again?
master the logic and research & debate skills
master the athletic skill
attempt to swipe at least one item from every venue you visit
have a “falling out,” with 2 good friends in your lifetime (high friendship to enemies)
have 5 enemies throughout every life phase
fight santa for his presents every holiday season
attempt to get an autograph from every celebrity you meet and get it appraised if you succeed (bragging rights)
marry a sim with the “opposites attracted” sentiment
GENERATION SEVEN: SPRUCE
Aspiration: Grilled Cheese Hidden Aspiration Career: Astronaut Traits: Ambitious, Glutton, Outgoing Color Association: Blue
Life has a funny habit of being both strangely ridiculous and ridiculously brilliant. Your parents have always told you to shoot for the stars, and that dedication will always sow the seeds of success. Strangely enough, you took shooting for the stars (ridiculously) literally and decided that your childhood dreams needed to be a reality. However, remember that second bit about things that are ridiculously brilliant? There is nothing more ridiculously brilliant than discovering the unadulterated bliss that can be achieved with only two slices of bread and some cheese. That’s right, everyone.
Consumed by the cheese as a youth, you have made it your life’s goal to spread the good word of your obsession. From supernatural beings, to aliens, and even your poor children—no one is safe from your good word. Armed with your career and knowledge, you are unstoppable in your pursuit of grilled cheese supremacy.
pro-tip: you unlock this aspiration by eating 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in a row
master the cooking and rocket science skills
cook only grilled cheese sandwiches after unlocking aspiration
fight any lactose intolerant sim you meet as they are your mortal enemies
build and completely upgrade a rocket in your lifetime
eat a grilled cheese on Sixam (if an alien spawns, share a grilled cheese with that alien)
marry an alien and join the 50-mile high club
GENERATION EIGHT: GINKGO
Aspiration: Freelance Botanist Career: Conservationist Traits: Clumsy, Self-Assured, Squeamish Color Association: Gold
Many things make your stomach turn, but nothing makes you sicker than the disgusting aftertaste of processed foods. Is it a byproduct of your parent’s crippling grilled cheese addiction? Most definitely. The carbon emissions from your household alone was enough to damage the ozone permanently. For this you feel as though you must atone.
There is contentedness to be found in humility, you find, and living a humble life is something that rewards you by the daily. Even if the day-to-day toils of dealing with creepy crawlies makes your skin boil and your heart faint, the work itself is enough to help you sleep at night. Your home flourishes around you, built from the ground up by your own hand. A small plot of dirt turned into a thriving garden home. And as your garden grows, so does your family. A calming peace after the turmoil of childhood, so long as you keep the cowplant fed!!
master the gardening and the flower arranging skills
master the handiness skill
live on an “off-the-grid,” lot for AT LEAST your entire YA life
cook meals using only your own ingredients
create all woodworking items at the woodworking table
furnish your home with only created or found/flea market items
GENERATION NINE: WILLOW
Aspiration: Bestselling Author Career: Paranormal Investigator (Criminal Career – Oracle if no paranormal pack) Traits: Vegetarian, Erratic, Bookworm Color Association: Green
Now, we wouldn’t make a sim grow a cowplant without putting it to good use, correct? Unfortunately, that means someone you love needs to die. It just so happens that it has to be your high school sweetheart, devoured mind, body, and soul by your precious pet cowplant. This—understandably—has a deep and profound effect on your worldview. Death becomes an obsession, and you find yourself enamored with the world that lies beyond the veil.
Befriending the dead is a lonely venture, unfortunately, and you eventually find yourself longing for the company of those whose bodies are a little more warm. While on your quest to figure out how to appreciate life, you take to meditation as a form of therapy. This self-reflection leads to revelations, and the humans you have shunned are suddenly a lot more interesting. Can you salvage your life before you join your friends in death?
have a high school sweetheart who is eaten by a cowplant
master the Paranormal Investigator career
master the writing and wellness skills
master the medium skill
befriend the grim reaper
start out as enemies with your future spouse and then become lovers
write your spouse’s name in the Book of Life
GENERATION TEN: WISTERIA
Aspiration: Friend of the Animals Career: Detective Traits: Paranoid, Mean, Animal Enthusiast (or Cat/Dog Lover) Color Association: Lavender
It comes as no surprise that having a parent as obsessed with death as yours has had immeasurable influence on your perception of humanity. In a cold world inhabited by murderers, philanderers, and all kinds of unsavory folk you find yourself afraid, and that fear breeds a hatred for your fellow man. There has to be someone who can stand up to all the injustice in the world, and if that someone has to be you, then screw the consequences. The path to justice makes few friends along the way, but that never bothered you much. You’ve always had your furry friends to keep you company on the days where the world feels foreign and hostile, and you dote on them with all the care of a loving parent.
And that was the length of your parental instinct, as there was no way in hell you could possibly bring another life into a world so cold. In your mind there would be no crueler fate, and those who bore those children were committing a selfish act. So it gives you great pause when, suddenly, you find yourself in love (with a married sim, no less. with kids, no less). Cue the drama.
master the cross-stitching and baking skills
must live in Strangerville and solve the Strangerville mystery scenario
complete the detective career
fall in love with a married coworker (must have kids) and convince them to leave spouse
marry your coworker and adopt their children as your own
always have at least 3 pets in the household at any given time and successfully breed at least 2 generations of your pets
complete the feather collection
have a graveyard in your backyard of your pets and family members
Thank you to everyone who tries this challenge! I appreciate every single one of you!! --Hannah

Hello guys, I guess this is it. The big project I was mentioning a few times, is ready to be revealed.
I hereby present to you: TS3 Buy-Build Defaults Database!
...a database made with Google Spreadsheets that aims to list every buy and build items in TS3 and Expansion/Stuff Packs (excluding Katy Perry --I don't have it T_T), with their corresponding default replacements if there is any. Alternatively this can also be used as reference for object names and which pack they come from and they do also come with thumbnail photos to visualize each object as how they are in the catalog.
I would also like to announce the corresponding tumblr page for this database, @ts3bbddb to serve as contact should there be questions, feedback, or to send download links for defaults via ask/message. Of course you may also contact me for similar purposes..
As of this moment, the database is still in a work in progress (you see Katy Perry pack is still missing hihihi) but rest assured this will be continually worked on and help for sure will be very welcome!
Forever for TS3, aisquared. With love..
P.S. Shoutout to @bioniczombie for making @4t3bbdatabase, which heavily inspired this database to be created.
