Sim Profile #4

So I totally forgot to say that my self sim’s first name is still FroAnhke (because… that’s… my name), but that their last name has been changed to Jeanov. A sur that takes some elements from my real life mother and Grandmother’s (mom’s mom) given names. I came up with the name while making the first sim on the lot, Everly, who is loosely based on what I remember of my grandmother.

Another, Another aside. I’m not a picture person. I don’t really have any pics of myself or family (aside, for the latter, what’s on my ancestor alter) and I don’t feel the need for them. When I went to make this sim I realized I wasn’t upset to pull from memory.

Back to the point, Everly’s given name rhymes with my grandmother’s real surname, probably because I was too lazy to make up something else, lol.

Here’s Everly’s everyday wear close up:

These are her game details:

Elder

Sagittarus

Ambitious

Brave

Good sense of humor

Green Thumb

Neat

Here’s a shot of Everly’s full everyday wear shot:

I think this outfit I used for Everly’s formal wear is like to women’s mail carrier outfit or something:

I decided on it because I remember my grandmother taking occasions that required her to wear anything but a moomoo very seriously. By seriously, I mean like professional serious. I think this was because she was one of the only women she knew at the time who had a job, and was a part of the generation of Black people who dressed up to go into the store.

Next is Everly’s athletic fit:

The Jeanov’s are apart of the rural community. But even if they weren’t I would have selected these overalls because my grandmother had a garden in her backyard. From the house to the back gate she’d planted and cared for all kinds of flowers, and I would like to think this is where I got my green thumb.

Everly’s nightwear is just a robe so I chose not to share it. I think her outerwear is just as boring, but I got a shot of her waving and after the bit of reminiscing on this post it feels like she’s telling me “now that you’ve remembered, go back to the living.”

Here’s the matriarch of the Kai family and the last biologically related member of the vacationing bunch. Mrs. Birdie has I imagine she’s called) is Michael and Harold’s mother, Yvette and Shona’s grandmother, and Zara’s great grand.

Here is a close up of Birdie in her everyday wear:

Here are her game details followed by a full shot of her everyday fit:

Elder

Taurus

Adventurous

Ambitious

Brave

Dog Person

Family Oriented

Birdie is actually an edit of a sim autogenerated in Isol Isle.

Here’s here formal outfit:

She was actually generated as a guy, and I must have liked how he looked or something because I took him into CAS before I force killed him (because how dare you sir this place is private) or offed him with the violence mod (is that the name).

Birdie’s athletic gear:

While in CAS I accidentally clicked the female button and liked that version too. I ended up saving the original in my library (no need to save both because I knew I would remember to switch genders).

Birdie’s nightie:

My plan was to make the male and female versions Shona’s grandparents. When I started renovating for Audre, I plopped the guy down in that save. When I carried him over to this one, I decided granddad was dead 😂.

Here’s another new sim loosely based off of a real life family member.

Here’s a close up shot of here in her everyday wear:

Juri is my self sim’s older cousin, Ann’s daughter, Marie’s niece, and one of 3 of Everly’s grandchildren.

These are her game details:

Young Adult

Aquarius

Absent Minded

Childish

Diva

Lucky

Social Butterfly

Here’s the full shot of her everyday wear:

Unlike the other women in the Jeanov family, Juri’s given name has no connection to anything regarding her name or the names of any of my relatives.

Here is Juri’s formal outfit:

Juri is also not based on the daughter of the real life aunt Ann stands in for, but a different cousin.

Juri in her athletic gear:

I realize that might seem odd. But I made sim versions or used stand ins for the members of my family that I actually like, or want(ed) to know better. Well… for the most part.

Here is Juri in her PJs:

The cousin Juri is based on kind of disappeared for a small chunk of my early adulthood. I don’t know why, just that she was another woman who my family talked crap about.

Here’s Juri’s swimsuit:

When my cousin returned it was like she became the person our family’s scapegoating had prevented her from being. That person was someone I wanted to get to know, but when she returned I began disappearing from my family, lol!

Finally we have Juri in her outerwear:

Like Savage (I’m thinking of changing his name to Saviaun) I plopped Nation from A Farming Town: Tropical Vacation into my new save with the intent of editing her. While I’m considering taking her back into CAS to lower her muscle tone, I also didn’t do anything to her save change her hair and clothes. Unlike Savage, Nation has been renamed Ann Jeanov.

Here’s the close up shot of her in her everyday wear:

Ann is a stand in for a real Aunt who passed away when I was in my early twenties (A.LONG.TIME.AGO). In the save, Ann is Everly’s oldest child, Marie’s Older sister, and my self sim’s aunt (duh). Ann is also a single mother to one child who will be introduced next.

Game details followed by a full shot of her everyday outfit:

Adult

Capricorn

Adventurous

Hot Headed

Irresistible

Night Owl

Vehicle Enthusiast

Ann’s name comes from my real life aunt’s middle name, and her traits, like Marie’s and Everly’s are influenced by her real personality. Unlike the other two sims, it’s probably more accurate to say her traits are plucked from the legend surrounding her life.

Here’s her formal:

I thought this was very fitting of my real life aunt’s when she was in her 20s and 30s. At that time she dated a dude in a biker gang, but no one I knew was more scared of them than they were afraid of her.

Here’s her athletic attire:

My mother and aunts used to refer to her as crazy.

Here’s Ann’s sleepwear:

Once I got older, I realized that’s just what women of their generation (men of every generation, probably) call women who “don’t take shit”. Crazy isn’t a compliment. Just a way to marvel at another woman’s audacity while distinguishing you from the “wrong” kind of woman.

I kept the original swimsuit for this sim so didn’t include a shot of it here. This is Ann’s outerwear:

What! Another new sim and one based off of a photo I found on the internet:

And if him and his expensive jogging suit looks familiar that’s because, he is IN FACT one of the models off of the comfrt website, and no that’s not an endorsement, although I own three five pairs of signature joggers, two signature hoodies and one weighted hoodie and will be buying did buy more of their clothes (in the time between queueing this and it being posted there was a spring sale and I bought one set, the matching hoodie to some joggers I bought in January and a pair of sweat pants)… In my defense, I didn’t know the brand was influencer push. Another autistic person recommended them because they ARE comfy… but in hindsight… the autistic person in question… could.be.an.influencer….

So I was actually going to use the image of a different male model from this sight, for a different member of this same family (who I didn’t end up making, still a maybe), but when I was shopping for myself I looked at this dude’s face and said “That’s him! That’s Skinny!”

So here’s Harold “Skinny” Kai, Micheal Kai’s younger brother, Yvette and Shona’s uncle and Zara’s… what do English speakers call a person who is your momma’s uncle (I’ve been saying grand uncle, and seriously what’s wrong with you English people? You’ve got a hundred billion words for everything, but keep cutting off titles for family members and [insert incest joke here]):

The above is Skinny‘s everyday wear close up and below is the full outfit shot:

Skinny’s game details are:

Adult

Scorpio

Daredevil

Handy

Mooch

Party Animal

Vehicle Enthusiast

And here’s a little known fact: Harold owns the garage I built in Audre way, waaaay back.

Here’s Skinny in his formalwear:

So, Skinny is the reason the Kai family vacationed in Meadow Glen/Harveston 2.0.

Here’s his athletic fit (or his version of it):

I haven’t decided if it’s that he’s in love with or just real cool with Ann (not yet posted) who used to be Nation, but their connection has lead to a visit.

PJs:

He’s also a bit of a mentor to Savage (because despite his faults, I imagine him as surprisingly decent when he wants to be) who he would have met through Ann, because Savage was plopped in this game to be my self sims’s brother or cousin (still deciding that too…. Details, what are those?).

Here’s his wetsuit… oh wait, I put him in trunks, because…. Why did I do that? I don’t know. He thinks he’s too cool for a wetsuit? He’s being unnecessarily difficult? There was an argument about what to pack… I don’t remember. Quick look at this:

He may, or may not, or will by the time I play, have A wetsuit and tattoos and not just black fingernails. I didn’t have any actual tattoos or accessory ones I liked for him at the time but I went on a cc spree so MORE EDITS LIKELY

.

So I mentioned starting yet another game and basically spending the last year periodically visiting CAS. I figured since I’d gone through the trouble of renovating so much of @one-plumbob’s world Pleasant Isle I might as well make Audre’s love interest and his family. I used the most recent version of Conquer from A Farming Town: Tropical Vacation and aged him down to teen before tweaking him. I also originally plopped the most recent version of Trovinte (who is also a version of the same sim) from Isol Isle to make his dad, but instead went with an edit of the most recent version of Jessie (who also has multiple versions) from AFTTV.

WHY AM I LIKE THIS!!! 🤣

Anywho, here’s Conquer who is now named Shona Kai.

Here are his game details:

Teen

Sagittarius

Diva

Flirty

Loves to swim

Social Butterfly

This is actually the first time Trovinte/Conquer/Shona has ever experienced a life stage other than young adult… err, maybe. It’s possible right before I stopped playing Resistance he was aged up to adult. I’m pretty sure I changed his traits, but haven’t really adjusted his skills or anything because I’ve just been making pretty fake people, so I may come back and edit this with that information. Maybe.

Anyways the above is a close up of Shona (that’s going to take some getting used to) in his everyday outfit, and the following shot is of the whole outfit:

Next is his formal:

Here’s his jammies:

These are his athletic clothes:

His swim gear is boring because I thought I had a teen version of the short sleeve wetsuit, but that turned out to not be true, or it’s not in the game or something. And I was super disappointed because his whole family surfs and loves the water, which is something all three versions of Shona have in common, but nooooooooOOOO suit. Regardless, because of this I’ve decided not to share that outfit, and instead discovered he has a coat version of his everyday ware even thought he’ll only be visiting the new save for the summer and probably won’t actually wear this.
