Bee Lover Skirt #simmerssavethebees

Our amazing @simmingbee started a campaign for this year’s Earth Day (22nd April) to raise awareness to the importance of bees. I felt like contributing, as this is such a beautiful and important cause. Bees are our friends, and sadly bee colonies are in decline! Most people don’t know how much we need them. Please take a minute to read this post by @simmingbee about this issue, and please contribute to the cause if you can! ^^

Now about the skirt:

Roswell Craftsman

Last house for my Strangerville series! That’s build number 10 in 2 weeks!  Since Ted Roswell is the Mayor of Strangerville I wanted it to be the biggest house and thank you @eslanes for helping me figure out the interior style to this house. This house will work with the story mode if you are still playing that so it comes with a surprise.

Comes with a living room, kitchen, formal dining room, office, reading room, laundry room, hobby room, 2 bathrooms, master bedroom, guest room and ???. Inspired by the initiative of @simmingbee the back yard has a bee garden and a natural pool.

You guys don’t know me, but I’m an avid CC lover and lurk a ton of Tumblrs. Over the last 7 months I have just started creating CC by recoloring items from the game and meshes from a few creators. I’ve released everything prior to the dress above exclusively to the members in my Discord server, but now... this dress... I release to all on Tumblr. I have to say, this is a bit intimidating. Anywho, this dress is inspired by @simmingbee’s post regarding #simmerssavethebees. It’s a super late release considering Earth Day has already passed, but I struggled a bit with the texture of the skirt on this dress. It was very pixelated and discolored. @saurussims  gave me some tips and I combated the pixelation as much as possible and am comfortable releasing it at its current, modest quality! @sims-enthusiast used her beautiful sims as models and took this lovely preview for me! (I really suck at in-game photography.) I did a tiny amount of editing and color adjusting. Download under the cut! <3

Simmers Save The Bees - Earth Day 2019

Bees are an essential part of our ecosystem and due to habitat loss, widespread use of pesticides and destructive hive diseases, they’re dying off at a rapid pace. 

This Earth Day (April 22nd), I wanted to share a cause close to my heart with the simming community and make it a goal to raise awareness.

So what can you as a simmer do to help?

- help me raise awareness by reblogging this post and others like it and by using the tag #simmerssavethebees on tumblr, instagram, and twitter.

- cc creators: consider releasing special bee-themed cc and/or by donating a portion of your income earned through paetron, adfly, etc to a bee conservation charity - or better yet, a local beekeeping organization in your area! If you’re interested in contributing cc - please let me know and I’ll add a link to your blog on a master page/post! I also have a little logo I’ll be using on my own cc that I’d bee happy to share!

- builders: create and release special “bee friendly” gardens, community lots, houses, etc! Make sure to use the #simmerssavethebees on the sims 4 gallery too!

- twitch/youtubers: consider hosting a charity stream on your channel and donate the proceeds to a bee conservation charity, or even better- a local beekeeping organization!

- Can’t do any of those things? That’s okay! Consider spending your Earth Day planting a small bee garden or make a simple bee bath for your garden (ever seen bees bathing? IT’S SO FREAKING CUTE!) Want to help in an easy and free way? Consider signing this petition organized by greenpeace to ban bee-killing pesticides in the agricultural industry.
