ShadowGem's Creations

So it has been forever since I posted much of anything. Well I built another school and created another set of uniforms. You know how much I love those (well I create them enough). So this building actually takes up two lots because there was a lot I needed to do with it. But with some clever photo angles it can easily look like the same building.

Hey everyone! Yes I am still alive, I've just been busy. I also haven't done much with the Azures lately. I'm sorry but the next chapter is just sitting there I have poked at it then quickly stop and switch on to another neighborhood. I have been playing around a bit in the premade neighborhoods. Veronaville was the first one I did. I haven't messed anything up too much yet. Just some babies were born, a couple birthdays, there was one wedding (no it wasn't Romeo and Juliette, they are still teens at the moment). And I moved in a couple families. I was going through each household checking interests, personalities, genetics, family ties and whatnot. (Mostly to record them on an excel so i don't have to keep checking SIMPE). When i decided that Veronaville needed a School (which also gave me an excuse to use more of my uniforms) and a performance Theatre (it does reference Shakespeare after all). So I did.

When it came to me thinking about Veronaville Central School, I imagined a large school that looked a bit creepy and had an old fashioned feel but still looked pretty. And , of course they have uniforms XD. You will see some Sims because I was testing the lot out, sorry about if plumbbobs.

So that's the layout, to be honest I looked at several layouts for large schools online and adjusted them to fit on the biggest lot. I do like how it came out though :)

So yes I love building, now that I have my laptop working again I can get back into my simming. Now whenever I need a set for a scene in my stories I don't just make a lot and create the exact set I need, I create the WHOLE thing. So far I have built an Elementary School and a Nursery school. The Elementary school took me about 3 nights to work on, I tried to use minimal CC so it's easier for others. The thing is this set is BIG and may be a bit slow on some computers/games. Please credit me if you use this :)

 The Elementary School:



There is a top roof it's just not shown, it is red like the lower ones. The school is actually in two parts/two lots. This is the main lot, it includes:
Playground, Bicycle shed/racks, Classrooms, Teacher's room/Principal's office, Nurse's station, Cafeteria, Kitchen, Locker Room, Library, Computer room, Music Room, Art room, Science Lab, Bathrooms and Storage Rooms

Here is the Gymnasium Lot:



The gymnasium lot is smaller and includes:
The Gym/Auditorium, Locker rooms/bathrooms, The pool, a soccer field, an Alleyway (which could have a dumpster in it if anything), as well as storage rooms. There is also a balcony going around the gym leaving the middle open.

The gym "connects" to the Elementary school, it's placed to the right of the Elementary School main building.

After three weeks I finally have my computer back and working! I ended up doing a whole system recovery meaning my harddrive was wiped clean I was able to save my legacy characters, but I will have to rebuild the neighborhood.

Forever Flowing: The Azure Legacy

But with my game back and somewhat loaded back onto my computer, save for a few expansions that will be loaded later, I decided to play around with creating CC clothing. I was working with SimBodyshop as well as a mix of Paint and Gimp. I wanted to create more school uniforms for kids and teens because of an idea I came up having to do with schools, and I love having my simKids and simTeens wearing uniforms. I just have the pictures up but if you like them enough I can upload them for you. Just tell me which one / ones you want. :)

Anyways enough rambling, here are some pictures. Please keep in mind that I am really new at this, as well as the fact that I'm only doing recolors and using the meshes that came with the game. Because I don't know a thing about meshing anyway. So, if you see a mistake and know how I can fix it. Personally, I am happy how they turned out.

So tell me what You think. I can upload them if you want I can also make versions with and without the ties and logos. :)
