At school, Miss Blanchard was her usual strict self, but Isadora has grown used to her stern demeanor. She tried to make arithmetic interesting with those pesky numbers and calculations, but Isadora just couldn't muster much enthusiasm for it. 
She much prefers writing and spelling; there's something delightful about putting pen to paper and watching words form like magic.
Her favorite part of the school day, as always, was lunchtime. She loves to sit outside with my friends, they share their secrets and dreams as they munch under the bright blue sky.

Printemps 1891, Brindleton Bay
Cher journal, Ça y est, nous partons. J'étais un peu mélancolique et j'ai donc ressenti le besoin de t'écrire une dernière fois, comme si vraiment j'allais cesser de le faire une fois parvenue à Chestnut. Je ne peux m'empêcher de songer que si je change de vie, alors ma personne aussi changera. Le penses-tu aussi ? En tout cas, notre chère Edmée n'a pas du tout apprécié que je tente de la charger comme une cargaison. Elle m'a botté les fesses, la petite chipie !
Tumblr media
Printemps 1891, entre deux chemins
Cher journal, Nous avons décidé de faire un petit arrêt pour nous reposer. Nous sommes à mi-chemin de Chestnut, et tout près de Hendford, mais pas assez cependant pour y chercher refuge. Séverin a dormi la majorité du trajet, pour se réveiller le reste du temps en pleurant à gros sanglots. C'est ses dents qui lui font mal, j'en suis sûre.
Tumblr media
Printemps 1891, Chestnut Ridge
Cher journal, Nous avons rencontré le maire, et c'est lui en personne qui nous a remis les clés de notre maison. Elle est confortable, je t'avoue, et on a même un étable pour un cheval, un jour, et une chambre fermée pour Séverin. François Xavier a trouvé une occupation dans la cave et y a passé toute la première soirée et une partie de la nuit, aussi. Je me demande ce qu'il trouve à cette grotte, moi j'ose pas y descendre. Nous avons pu ranger toutes nos possessions, mais malheureusement nos petites poules n'ont pas survécu au trajet. La première a été chipée par un renard et la seconde était déjà bien vieille, et avec Edmée qui aime bien lui faire peur, on se demande si ça n'a pas été le coeur. François Xavier commence a travailler sur le chantier de la future centrale hydroélectrique dès que possible. Il s'impatiente, car apparemment que son patron veut le rencontrer en personne et parler business. Je suis fière de l'homme que j'ai épousé et qui a bonne réputation alors même qu'on vient de poser nos valises.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Été 1891, Chestnut Ridge
Cher journal, François Xavier a reçu une promotion dès qu'il a mis les pieds sur le chantier. Il est devenu le patron des employés de là-bas, et ça n'a pas plut à tout le monde, mais François Xavier s'en réjouit malgré tout. Il a sorti une vieille bouteille de nectar de la cave, et j'ai appris qu'il y passait tout son temps à tenter de reproduire la boisson. Ce soir-là, il a fêté pas mal fort et il a finis par dormir dans la rocking chair, sur le patio. Séverin pleure souvent et il a des chaleurs. Je pense qu'il est malade, mais je sais pas ce qu'il a. J'ai essayé des trucs de maman, et je suis souvent à chercher ses conseils, mais pas grand-chose ne semble soulager mon petit bébé. François Xavier a voulu lui donner un peu de nectar pour apaiser ses pleurs, mais j'aime pas tellement le goût et j'ai pensé que ça pourrait donner des nausées au bébé, alors j'ai dit non, peut-être seulement s'il se sent vraiment pas bien. Aujourd'hui, il refuse d'être dans son berceau, alors je le laisse libre, ça va lui faire du bien de gigoter un peu pendant que je gère la maison.
Bonus
Tumblr media
Edmée, la chipie-chèvre. Ses passe-temps incluent la lecture à voix haute et de terrifier tout le monde.
Tumblr media
Cheryl-Ann, la cocotte du village. Ses passe-temps incluent de caqueter les ragots et de roucouler pour son coq.
A noter que le passage où Joséphine parle qu'ils songent à donner du nectar à bébé Séverin ne reflète pas la réalité, mais certaines méthodes de l'époque. En 1880, un premier livre est apparu qui portait sur "La santé pour tous" et qui se voulait un guide d'hygiène de vie surtout lu par les femmes, mais ce n'était pas encore matière courante dans les régions éloignées. J'ai du mal à organiser mes idées et à les transposer concrètement, alors il se peut que tout soit un peu confus et chaotique, surtout au début. N'hésitez pas à m'éclairer de vos lanternes si vous avez des suggestions à mon approche du sujet ! 🌞

Following on from the simple modesty of the 1300s, female hair in the 1400s became a lot more elaborate thanks to the addition of hair pieces, ribbon and other decorations. Braided styles evolved into very detailed and decorative concoctions. Styles also became more flowy and romantic, often with curls framing the face. CC links under the cut.

Antiquated Brindleton
An 1890s Decades Challenge Save File
This save has been almost a year in the making, but it's finally here! It includes a completely rebuilt Brindleton Bay inspired by historic New England towns and set in the 1890s. This save uses a light amount of historical cc and most of the packs.
Download and details under the cut:
Tumblr media
SAVE DETAILS:
Includes:
Eight new residential lots
Seven new community lots
Six new households
Builds and households are all located in Brindleton Bay. The world is intended to be historically accurate to about 1890, though some liberties for functionality have been taken.
Builds in other worlds have been deleted. The necessary buildings, like dorms, active career lots, and the high school, have all been left in place.
Townies have been evicted, but not deleted, as I prefer EA townies to fully randomized townies.
If you’d like more period appropriate townies to add, the lovely @jewishsimming has some great historical ones to download and @cowplant-snacks has an amazing tutorial on how to manage your townies with MCCC.
REQUIREMENTS: I have all the packs except Batuu and some of the kits. I didn’t limit myself when building. I don’t have everything listed out here, but I will be uploading all the lots and households to my gallery, so if you’d like to know specific pack usage you’ll be able to check there. If you load in and things are replaced or missing and you think it looks obvious feel free to message me, I’m always happy to try to help you find something else that fits!

Trois femmes aux ombrelles
And we're back at the regular 1880's fashion with this set which inludes bustle skirts in 3 lenghts, 2 skirt overlays, 3 flower accessories, a parasol and an umbrella !
More pics and download below
As referenced in the title, this set was inspired by Marie Bracquemont’s painting : Trois femmes aux ombrelles ou Les Trois grâces / Three Ladies with Parasols or Three Graces, 1880.
Thanks to @javitrulovesims for making the perfect pose for this set !
———————————   Skirts  ———————————
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————
Once again, these skirts have a slight bustle shape which would best fit for the natural form era : roughly 1875 - 1883 ; (well actually, the size of the bustle is dependant on the size of the sim’s butt so do with that what you will). They are more ornate than my Cueillette skirts featuring some gathered layers and trims typical of the period, so they would be better suited for higher class people or more dressed up occasions.
And as always I give you 3 versions with each a different lenght to have more teen options and worker friendly options . The short one end mid calf, the medium one is ankle lenght and the long is full lenght. 
74 swatches : 22 solids, 10 floral, 6 plaid, 25 striped & 11 polka dot patterns
3 lenghts : S, M & L
————————— Skirt Overlays —————————
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————
These two overlays will allow to respectively change the gathered layers and the trim swatches in order to channel the trim crazy period that were the 1880's.
Tumblr media
in the middle finger section
74 swatches for the skirt overlay : 22 solids, 10 florals, 6 plaids, 25 stripes & 11 polka dots patterns
22 solid swatches for the trim overlay
———————— Flower Accessories ————————
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————
To properly channel Marie Bracquemond's painting I needed a bunch of flower accessories so you will find 3 accessories in this set : a hair flower, a collar flower and a boutonnière. In my opinion these are pretty timeless and can suit a wide array of looks as portrayed in the pictures below.
These are all edits of @the-melancholy-maiden's Hair Flowers Through the Ages Part 2 thanks to her very open TOU.
Tumblr media
none of these are compatible with hats
51 swatches : the-melancholy-maiden's original 29 colors and my 22 colors
the collar flower and the boutonnière are in the necklace section
the hair flower is in the hat section, available for both female and male frames
the hair flower is hat slider compatible
————————   Parasol & Umbrella  ————————
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————
I made both an umbrella and a lacey parasol (using Javi's texture). These are rather timeless too I think, they are definetely suited for late victorian and edwardian eras.
These are both edits of @javitrulovesims's Meiji Komorebi Accessory Parasol, thank you Javi !
NOT compatible with necklaces, earrings, piercings or anything using the same UVmap (such as kijiko's lashes unfortunatly)
in the right index finger section
45 swatches : 2 colors for the frame and handle, 22 for the canopy and 1 fully black swatch
———————————————————————————
Download : dropbox — simfileshare

Cloth Diapers for Infants
I use @teanmoon’s tied cloth diaper all the time for the toddlers in my ultimate decades challenge and I needed a version for infants, so I decided to edit my own. Unlike the original, the knot here is not 3D because I can’t mesh but also the 2D knot works better for infants I think. This just uses the bg infant diaper mesh with an edit of teanmoon’s texture.
available for all infants

The years passed quickly, and in no time at all the triplets were turning 6 years old and starting school. Heather and Jenny threw a big birthday party for their trio to celebrate their huge milestone. They could hardly believe that their once-so-tiny babies were so grown up.

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.

The 1400s gave way to the incredibly iconic accessories of the 1500s, namely hoods (both Gabled and French) and ruffs. While the end of the Tudor era saw the popularity of headdresses decline in favour of uncovered hair decorated with jewels, diadems, and feathers, prior to that headdresses were a vital part of court dress. In fact, the style of hood worn was often used as a political statement amongst the nobility. Hats had always been in fashion for men, but the 16th century saw them also become a fashion staple for women. CC links and reference images under the cut.

🏜️ Deadwood Reach: A Wild West Starter 🏜️
Has your sim followed the gold rush out West? Left behind the hustle and bustle of the city for the open air? Decided to try and make it on their own with no one other than their trusty steed? Despite its intimidating name and the Cowplant skulls guarding its entrance, this little starter home has everything a sim needs to build a life.
Designed for a Decades Challenge or historical gameplay, this lot is off the grid and requires a bit of ingenuity (or anachronistic cell phone usage) to meet its simple living requirements. There’s a small area for gardening, cross-stitching, guitar picking, and of course, horse riding. For those who might want a few creature comforts, there’s a well equipped outhouse, two working fireplaces, and even a brand new feather bed.
So brew up your cowboy coffee, sit on a hay bale, and enjoy a fire under the wide open sky.
Lot Size: 20x15 Original Lot: Big Sky Reach Lot Value: 22,829 House Size: 1 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom Lot Traits: Natural Well Lot Challenges: Simple Living, Off-the-Grid CC-free
As usual, it is CC free so that everyone can download it, but please feel free to redecorate it or redesign it, just tag me if you use it so I can see your lovely pixels enjoying it too!
Available to download on my gallery ID: aheathenbuilds or here (SFS, no ads).
