As Aggie had been raised in a very religious home, she’d had her heart set on ensuring her own children would be raised the same way. Will didn’t understand it all—he wasn’t against the concept of a greater deity but he’d never cared that much for church as a whole, had always hated being forced to sit still in a stuffy building for two hours when there was so much more he could be doing. Still, it meant a lot to his Aggie, so he went along with it and thus, as soon as they could, they had little Charlie baptized. All their friends and neighbors were in attendance, but even so, it proved to be a quaint, quiet little affair.
So quaint, in fact that Charlie seemed content to sleep through the entire thing.

The Soddy
A CC Free Prairie Homestead
Lot size: 40x30 Price: §37,341 Lot type: Residential Location: Biscuit's Bastion, Chestnut Ridge
Homesteading and the settlement of the American west has always been a particular interest of mine and recently I've become very interested in sod houses! I toyed with the idea of recreating one in Sims but never had a good world or assets to work with. When I fell into my little building bender a few weeks ago I realized Chestnut Ridge was perfect for it and promptly hyperfixated.
This home is ideal for a couple or small family just trying to make their way in the prairie of Chestnut Ridge. The house can fit up to three sims and a baby or toddler, perhaps a bit snug for our modern standards but perfectly alright for the nineteenth century. Also comes complete with fertile fields, an empty chicken coop, a slightly decrepit horse barn, and a well stocked root cellar.
More info and download under the cut:
This house is heavily inspired by Prairie Homestead in South Dakota. When I started kicking around the idea of this build I started googling for reference photos and discovered this very cool historic site. I tried to match this build to its real life counterpart more than I usually do, as the interior that they have set up for that house was just so fun and unique feeling. The exterior is inspired by it, but sim lot constraints required more creative license. I highly recommend you look at some photos, it really is such an interesting place.
Sod houses, which were constructed by cutting hunks of the top layer of the grasslands (which were held together by the strong roots of the native grasses) were common throughout the latter part of the nineteenth century and began to peter out in the early part of the twentieth century. They weren't the most luxurious accommodations, but did have the virtue of being warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Unfortunately as the walls were made from the earth, bugs could be an issue and I've given this lot the creepy crawlies bug challenge for ~realism~. It's also off-the-grid, and has a functional root cellar (meaning I put the fridge down there, have fun in thunderstorms).
This lot is fully playtested (might have been the most I've played in a while actually, I wanted to make sure the crib worked). Please please enjoy this build. I know I always say it but this one is actually my favorite, and making this work with the constraints of Sims 4 terrain tools was quite the undertaking and I'm so pleased with it.
If you use it please tag me in any photos, I love seeing what y'all get up to with my builds!!

NEW SIMBLR ALERT
Tumblr media
Sul Sul! Hello
Dear readers, It's with great joy and enthusiasm that I make my first post in this space.
My name is Ellie, a young girl of twenty-one years who is passionate about the universe of The Sims; if I had one last wish, it would be to spend hours upon hours creating stories with my Sims. My passion in the game is the Decades Challenge, so I decided to create my own challenge and share my story here.
I must confess that I am new to the simblr world; I have never had a simblr, and I have never managed one. This is my first (I am so excited)! Therefore, I am still learning how everything works here. Additionally, English is not my first language, and I fiercely struggle with English grammar. So, there may be some strange words and errors; please bear with me <3.
I have a very interesting and exciting story to share. I can't wait for you to meet the characters. I have spent countless hours dedicated to each member of the founding family, shaping their personalities, exploring their fears, dreams, and ambitions. Each character is unique, with their own journey and contribution to the story that I am eager to share with you.
Tumblr media
I'm looking for other active players of the Decades Challenge <3 I already consider all of you my BESTIES.

Kicking off a new decade in fashion is Josephine Duplanchier, who’s 1920s looks once epitomized the boldness of that era. Now she’s seen in the early years of the 1930s, out of her element stylistically and in life. For this reason, her color palette has gone from vibrant tones of red, teal, and yellow to a blend of purples and olives. While many of these colors are found in her earlier looks, they are now in a variety of somber tones to match her mood and that of this new decade.
However, we can still see some pops of bold color in this new version of Josephine, like her red heels or her mother’s ruby red ring which she wears when given the rare opportunity. Her silhouettes are also torn between decades, which would be sensible as she’s still wearing some of her older clothes; but her going out dress, which makes her feel the most like herself, is well out of style by this period. For a woman who prides herself on new bold trends, this represents an attachment to the past more than an adjustment for the period she’s living in.
Of course she has more or less been forced to adopt some of the stylistic accompaniments of her new life, like her work apron and kerchief. However even there, we can see elements of Josephine’s personality such as the pair of high waisted pants that she has stolen from her partner Giorgio and now prefers to wear during the day.
All CC linked below the cut.

Inès - an 1890s daydress
Tumblr media
Here's a not-so-little recolor of this dress by Kizaragy. I'm not sure if they have a tumblr, which is unfortunate because all I want to do is tell them how absolutely BREATHTAKING their dress is, and how well it works for the 1890s. Oh well. I'm telling the world instead, I suppose.
I'd say this style of dress was most fashionable between around 1892 and 1894, but you could probably use it for the whole 1890s, maybe even up to the early 1900s. It really depends on how closely your Sims follow fashion trends, I suppose.
There are swatches in more extravagant, "expensive" colors, as well as simpler, less bright ones. This means it's a very versatile dress in terms of class as well. Anyone from a farmer's wife to a noblewoman could wear it.
I also noticed that the mesh and texture are quite nicely divided into a top and bottom half, so I made some swatch overlays for the skirt as well. There's a separate link to that underneath the download links for the dress itself.

Known issues: The original has a thing where it makes certain hats invisible, similarly to how a long-sleeved shirt makes bracelets invisible, except it's much more annoying, because what's an 1890s dress without hats? I can't fix this in a recolor since the mesh isn't included, but I've provided a short tutorial on how to fix this in the original. You're gonna need Sims 4 Studio (Star) installed.

The children shook in their stockings when their father approached, seeking their permission to invite his friend into the manor. They couldn’t believe it. For the past few years, their home had been a sanctuary limited to only two guests: Paul and Elaine's physician. The proposal of introducing someone new, particularly a "lady friend" of their father's, stirred a whirlwind of emotions within his children.
Edmund sensed their initial apprehension. They had been isolated for so long, cocooned within the walls of the manor. The idea of accommodating an outsider in the comfort of their own home felt both exhilarating and unsettling. In the end, they did agree. Cecily, Josiah, and Elaine did, at least. In truth, they wanted to become acquainted with the lady ever since learning of their father's frequent outings with her.
The three youngest children peered out from behind the arch of the door, eager to catch a glimpse of their father and his companion as they spoke quietly upon their arrival in the foyer. 
Elaine was the first out, running straight into her father’s expecting arms. Meanwhile, Cecily and Josiah focused their attention on her. Josiah, ever the blunt one, took it upon himself to inform their guest of his father’s zealous cleaning spree in preparation for her visit, only to find the floors still lacking in cleanliness. Simultaneously, Cecily warmly welcomed their new guest, offering to be her guide through the expansive manor.
Imogene was captivated by the children’s warmth and innocence, their small voices blending in a chorus of curiosity and excitement.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unnoticed by the bustling gathering in the foyer, Eugene observed silently from his position on the stairs. He sat with a brooding gaze, casting a disapproving eye upon his overly enthusiastic and excessively sharing siblings, as well as his stuttering father. When his gaze fell upon Imogene, a surge of frustration stained his vision red. Was everyone in the house touched by madness? It was a question he had pondered for years, and the resounding answer remained unchanged: Yes.

Nestled in the woods of of Northern Brindleton is the tiny cabin to which the newlyweds returned home. There may be tiles slipped from the roof, and paint flaking off the walls, but it's home, and it's theirs. Within the four small walls, nothing seems to touch their happiness.
This sweet cabin build is from the Antiquated Brindleton save file by @antiquatedplumbobs!

𝟏𝟖𝟗𝟎'𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤
⤷ 𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 ⚓
Oscar is our first heir for this legacy and since he's still just a tot, many of his outfit choices are still chosen by his parents and guardians. However, he seems to have picked up on his parents preferred color palette of black and grey, with some added blues, greens and browns. All of his clothing is made of sturdy fabric and ready for rough housing and playing tough.
In appearance, we can already see that his nose is quite prominent and his eyes a beautiful grey-blue hue, taking after his mother, Winifred, while his hair a striking black to contrast. Still quite young, he hasn't quite lost his chubbiness from being a baby or grown in all his teeth, but you best believe he is ready to take on whatever adventures await him each and every day.
Also, I wanted to mention that I've actually messed up Ozzy's aging for how I intend to progress my Sims ages going forward. So it will probably seem like Ozzy is stuck in toddler-hell for a lot longer than he should be but we're just going to go with it at this point because I had already styled his looks!

A letter to Matthew Dailey from his daughter Agnes, 189x
Dearest Papa,
We are here!
We arrived in Chestnut Ridge late this morning after a near two days of travel, bursting with both relief and anticipation. Until now the idea of being here seemed a mere fantasy, but now that we have actually made it, I am now reminded of just how real and wonderful it all really is. We are both exhausted from our journey but nevertheless overjoyed to finally be here after so much dreaming and planning, it scarcely feels feel to either of us even now.
Tumblr media
The farm, our farm...what can I say about it? Its ours, and that’s the most important thing. This one in particular was being sold off for quite cheap after its previous owners passed on, and although I do not wish to be rude, it isn’t difficult to see why the bank was so eager to hand it over to us. It is quite an old building and in need of several serious repairs, I fear that one strong gust of wind would be enough to knock it apart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Will seems optimistic that we’ll be able to make it work, in spite of the obvious problems. He did have to take out a small loan to pay for it, but he’s confident that we’ll be able to pay it back after our first good harvest. If all goes well, that is, which I trust that it will. We’ve come too far for it not to.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Agnes Barclay
P.S. Do let Aunt Winifred know I miss her dearly, and I plan to write to her as well just as soon as I get the chance.

Lupine Cottage
A CC Free Victorian Beachside Cottage
Lot size: 20x20 Price: §40,013 Lot type: Residential Location: Bedlington Beachhouse, Brindleton Bay
This build will be familiar to all of you who have downloaded Antiquated Brindleton, where it's previously been released as a cc-lite build. This build is really no fun to play without Romantic Garden, so in honor of it being free to download I wanted to release a cc-free version of it. It also gave me the chance to refresh it with some of the new assets we've gotten since then, and it's turned out so well.
This lot is potentially my favorite build I've ever done and I'm so in love with how it's turned out here. Even if you have the previous one, I'd certainly give this version a try, because humbly; I think it's better.
Background info and download under the cut:
I'm not sure how many of you will recognize this lot, or have already, but it's based off the cottage from the children's book Miss Rumphius, which tells the tale of the lupine lady who spreads lupine seeds along Maine's roadways in the early twentieth century. You can see the inspo pics below as well as a shot of lupines in Maine in the spring, where they really do look like someone rode around just throwing seeds as they went. I highly recommend the book for any history lovers the illustrations are beautiful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lupine's are unfortunately not native to Maine and are considered invasive, so loving them does come with a smidgen of guilt, but luckily we don't have that problem in Sims.
I picture this cottage as the perfect home for your loner, spinster characters, and that's exactly who lives there in my save. This lot is in some ways a love letter to Maine and Brindleton Bay as I see it. So please enjoy.
This build is appropriately furnished for the late nineteenth to early twentieth century; no indoor plumbing and lots of candles. It's really only suitable for one sim as built, but could probably be edited quite easily for a couple. Fully playtested.
Please, please, please tag me if you use this lot, it's got a special place in my heart.

MEET MY FOUNDERS!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MEET MY FOUNDERS!
Charlotte Louisa Hastings
Charlotte Hastings' family had once been very wealthy. She was born into an aristocratic family, where luxury and comfort were faithful companions from the earliest moments of life. As the daughter of a renowned merchant, her childhood was marked by luxurious travels, refined education, and every whim that money could provide. She was happy, and her family was happy.
However, one day, fate dealt her a tragic turn. The premature death of her father, a victim of cruel tuberculosis contracted during a business trip in a harsh winter, left the family in ruins, and all their fortune was lost. Deprived of a dowry and the resources necessary to attract a suitable suitor within aristocratic circles, Charlotte's mother made a decision: she arranged a marriage for her daughter with a young farmer from the countryside. It was a pragmatic agreement, made in the hope of ensuring her daughter a stable and secure life.
Charlotte found herself with no choices, left only to accept the proposal, not by her own choice, but out of obligation to her family. Charlotte's heart and feelings still belonged to an old childhood friend, a boy she met on one of her trips to the countryside, but so many years had passed that she barely remembered his face…
Philip Ernest Harrington
Philip Harrington was born and raised in the depths of a modest farm in Henford. He came into the world in a family of simple and modest farmers, whose livelihood depended on what they planted and harvested; his life revolved around the seasons and the harvests. Despite being considered a kind and amiable man, Philip lived a solitary existence; he rarely ventured beyond the boundaries of the farm, preferring the silent company of the fields to the bustle of the city. He was a romantic and family-oriented man, longing to marry to fill the lonely farm with the sound of love and laughter of a wife and children, but he was extremely insecure, believing he didn't possess many qualities to court a woman, and his heart still yearned for an old childhood friend, a girl from a very wealthy family who visited the outskirts of the farm in his youth; whom he knew he had no chance with, besides, there were no eligible young women in town. Until one day, an unexpected marriage proposal arrived in his hands…

Inès Dress pt. 2 - Skirt Color Overlays

Here's the finished product! A skirt color overlay in 143 swatches. It's designed for the Inès dress that I posted yesterday, to make it less of a dress and more of a skirt-blouse combo. HOWEVER:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Would you look at that? It works for more dresses than just the Inès! Certainly far from all dresses, but I'll link a few that I know it's compatible with at the end of the post.

So, in summary:
