Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Rooftop Rest

November 15, 2024

Lore has a lovely addition to their Oasis series out at the November round of We Love Role-Play, a rustic desert house and three types of large jars/amphorae, and I set it up together with the Oasis walls and well that were released some time ago. The house consists of a single room, with cracked and worn walls, and a ladder takes you up to the rooftop through a hatch. That is where I decided to setup the Djinn’s Rest, a little lounging area with animations that I picked up from Roawenwood during 25 L Tuesday.

The sexy Astra outfit by Salt & Pepper would perhaps best be described as fantasy lingerie, with ornate metallic accents on both the top and the boots. And these make excellent use of PBR, just like the Oasis house does.  With the fatpack you can mix and match all the colours and textures, allowing for a lot of different combinations.

Very sexy is also the extra long Bora hair from Wasabi for Kustom9. The HUD lets you switch between bangs or no bangs as well as a more windswept style. Here I went sleek and serene.

Claiming the Throne

June 03, 2024

The warrior creeps through the woods, approaching the clearing with caution. In the middle of it stands a mossy throne, lit by the flickering flames of two torches. Certain that there is no ambush awaiting her, she approaches the throne, her spear in hand.

Tomorrow, a new round of We Love Role-Play opens, offering a great selection of new releases at discounts of 15% to 30%. Almost entirely kitted out by the event, my orc warrior has skin (with great muscle definition!), eyes and tattoos by Fallen Gods, wears an outfit by Athe Fantasy and carries a naginata by Thorn. The throne is by MoonSha and comes in several variants, plus a hud for each variant that offers different shades.

Another event, already on-going, is Hair Fair 2024. It covers six regions and offers hairs and hair-related products, with all items sold donating a percentage to Wigs for Kids. Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to update your look, for example with the Nyx hair from Exile that I am wearing here.

Fantasy Faire 2024: Farewell to Avalon

May 07, 2024

A final adventure for this year, as the Fairelands are set to recede into the mists today. It has been a wonderful experience as usual and as much as I wish the sims would stay all year around, it wouldn’t be the same. I already can’t wait to see what the amazing worldbuilders and other creators will come up with next year! I will leave you with a video from Avalon and of course credits to everything can be found at the end of the post.

Fantasy Faire 2024: A Meeting of Magic

May 02, 2024

The magical isle of Avalon, Alia Baroque’s creation for this Fantasy Faire, became witness to a meeting between two fantastical beings. One, a fae called to this realm as the dragon nearly woke from his slumber. The other, a spirit horse lured down from among the clouds and starts by magic required to send the dragon back to sleep.

At the Jail & Bail for Alia, I bought the Ancient Spell version of the special skin. I was really curious to see how the sim would change if the dragon awoke, but alas, that did not happen. But I knew I wanted to create a post with this skin and when I got the opportunity to blog the Qamariki mod & texture kits for the Teeglepets, created by Tutto E Vanita, I had an idea for bringing the two together.

For the rest of the fae’s look, I used one of the RFL releases from deviousMind together with one of the new colours of the SteamWings released for the Faire and a crown from Les Encantades.

As for the Qamariki, I modded my Teeglepet Pegasus with the kit as I have a copy version of the Pegasus. The first time I tried I managed to skip one step and had to start over, but once I actually followed all the instructions it was not difficult at all as long as you have some basic understanding of how to use the editing tools. The Qamariki mod kit is available for most Teeglepets, including even the new Kelpie and Hippocampus pets. In addition to the mod kit, you need one of the special texture kits and the toughest part about that will be to pick your favourite. This is a really fanciful mod kit and the texture kits use glow and emissive marking for an ethereal appearance.
