Sunset Valley's Top Model

[KaseOfHearts]

Your adminstress has decided to be ridiculous and join a Sims Top Model contest on Reddit. I was promoting our forum when that SOB sucked me in. Come on by and upvote my biotch? I know. I'm out of control.

Sunset Valley's Top Model

Her name is Eve Laurie, and she's not very nice.

Oh no, once Reddit sucks you in you will never get out. I swear, that site has completely cut my productivity by half.

Oh, and I voted for you!

[KaseOfHearts]

Thanks, girl! I want to get all the cool reddit people on here, but I don't think that will happen.

[Jane.Eyre.Force]

r/thesims is a very small subreddit, so it's worth trying! Now,  if you were trying to get all of the members from the main subreddits, that might be a little harder.

[KaseOfHearts]

Hello, friends! I was in this contest for a few weeks. About 8 to be exact. And spoiler alert: I was voted out! But not before making some really awesome things that I am rather proud of and would like to share with you. So without further ado and no more stalling, his is the collection of my 8 weeks of Top Model Photo Shoots.

Greek Goddesses: Aphrodite

The Birth of Aphrodite, inspired by Botticelli's famous painting.








The story of Aphrodite and Adonis


Although Aphrodite had loved Adonis as a baby, it was with different affections that she laid her eyes on the grown boy. The love was mutual and instantaneous. She, the most beautiful woman, and he, the most beautiful man, could no doubt be an extraordinary pair.


And although it was unwise to make her husband, the God of war, jealous, it was with abandon that Aphrodite dove into the arms of her new lover.


His love of an immortal tricked Adonis into forgetting his own mortality. Giving into his pride, and although Aphrodite begged him not to go, Adonis ventured into unknown woods to hunt a boar known for both its strength and its body count.


Being married to a God certainly has its disadvantages. Ares, Aphrodite's husband, was aware of her affair. And he was also aware of her lover's hubris. The boar was no ordinary beast, and once Adonis raised his blade to attack, Ares forsook his beastly form and dealt to Adonis a fatal blow.


When Aphrodite found her dying lover, her heart shattered. "Stay," she begged him. "Don't leave me." But her cries went unheard, and Adonis died in her arms at the hand of her husband.


With the energy of her sadness, Aphrodite took her lover's blood and stained her flowers, bringing to life the Red Anemone, a flower of striking beauty but of fleeting bloom.


The anemone became as sacred to Aphrodite as a thousand temples erected in her name.


And it is said, that where ever blood is spilled, she wills an anemone to appear in memory of the love she once had, fleeting, fragile, beautiful, and intense.

Wow! The screenshots and the set and everything is just gorgeous Also: Makes my classical student heart pleased to see Greek mythology.

[Squirt]

Nitpicky here, isn't Aphrodite married to Hephastus, Ares is just the one on whom she cheats on him the most with?

[NotJustaBook]

God, Squirt, you're right. *Classical student fail*

[PeregrineTook]

Oooo, I'm thinking that making a Sim version of Hephaestus would be awesome and terrible all at the same time.
Fantastic screenshots and you managed to create even more gorgeous Sims, hearts!

[KaseOfHearts]

Squirt, you're right! I do believe it was Ares who killed Adonis, but I think I mistakenly believed them to be married.

Thanks, Louise and Pip! I remember setting up parts of the lot like a stage production so photograph the different parts of the story. It took me a longer time than I am proud of to get all those shots!

Week 2 - High School Cliques: Bad Girl






Perhaps not the most sympathetic of characters,


Your typical bad girl likes to hurt.


But those who hurt,


are often times hurting.


Though anger often becomes the mask.


Or it's channeled to other things.


Other people.


It comes through in risky, reckless behaviors.


Getting involved with the wrong crowd.


It's certainly not unheard of for those who are hurting to hurt.


It's certainly not unheard of for those who are hurting to become bad.

[PeregrineTook]

Dang. At least 3/4 of my Sims are all really intimidated now, not only by how tough your bad girl is, but also by how awesomely lovely she is.

[NotJustaBook]

Indeed, it is awesome Once again, it just looks fab. You're so good at staging nice shots.
All that CC though! I'm not nearly patient enough to use that much xD

[Squirt]

Wow, that's very good!
