Aleksey rolled a want to watch the clouds with Elo. It’s quickly turning into stargazing though!

Evangeline and Scarlet are two sleepy sims who are making different autonomous choices on how to get a short burst of energy to get through the rest of their day.

I love watching sims when they go out for a jog or walk the dog. ❤

Scarlet and Merlot and now best friends! Aww. =D

Scarlet and Merlot Pinot Noir are workmates, so Merlot invites Scarlet out for dinner or drinks every so often. =)

Laila set the dinner table, but the kids still grabbed their food and went to the living room. Look at those smug grins. >_>

Grover got berrified. ^_~

I’m taking a break from the Iristras to bring you some late night genetics challenge family fun! I’m using a new (to me) lighting mod by lumialoversims, so this should be interesting. =)

Do you think it will be possible to recreate that amazing ass lighting set up in cas to be in the world? (whether it’s modding the lighting or just using lights in the game) I reaaaalllyyy like the way It looks

luumia:

Yep, it’s certainly possible to recreate it ingame! You just have to follow the three point lighting method, which is what CAS uses as well.

You basically have three different lights, the key, the fill, and the back/rim light:

The key light is the brightest light and illuminates the subject the most.

The fill is a bit more diffused but it’s purpose is to brighten the shadow on the subject that the key light creates.

The back/rim light is meant to create a thin outline around the edge of the subject and separates it from the rest of the background.

Little lighting tutorial! ❤

Lylliannah Rose is getting a separate post because has changed the most. She how has peacock-coloured hair with white and teal eyes. Her middle name is changing from Rose to Lysytsya. She has a new twin sister named Lydiannah Zayets Iristra. She differs from Lylli not only in hair colour, but her eye colour is slightly different as well.

Some background: I gave Lylli and Lydia Ukrainian middle names because it’s a part of my family heritage in RL. Lysytsya (лисиця) is the Ukrainian word for fox and it’s one of my favourite Ukrainian words. It was originally one of Violet’s middle names, but I could never decide on the English spelling of it, haha. It seems that most people agree it’s “lysytsya”, so that’s what I’ll go with! Zayets (заєць) is also Ukrainian and it means “hare” (but it’s actually spelled with an apostrophe in English: zayets’). This was also one of Violet’s middle names at one point, lol. Sorry, Violet! At least you got to keep one of your Ukrainian names. “Sereda” (Середа) means Wednesday. =)
