SO LONG, GOOD-BYE.

A short photo-shoot of some Characters from my Thunder Valley blog, link on the left.
New character, Spencer Tyrell, cousin to Luke, will first appear briefly on the 'cattle drive'. (Next update when I get back)

Gideon Fredericks, Sam's brother...a hint of a story to come in the cattle drive plot, He certainly deserves his spotlight. He is on the the to-do list.

Oh oh my, Dyer Foster (thanks again, Cherie) he too, is on my list. Dear me, I certainly have enough to keep me busy for the foreseeable future. Sims 3 men? NOT!! (at least, not now)


Gabriel Grayson, Sheriff of Thunder Valley, his story will be after the Cattle Drive, have already started it.

New look for Kane McCullough, U.S. Marshall. His story a few updates away, have already taken a few shots as you can see. The hair is Maxis, from Mansions and Gardens, I like it!

Meet Wheeler Corbett, son of Stalking Moon and Eliza...*THUD*

Absolute clone of his father...again, I will be doing a story on Stalking Moon sometime, he is on the list.

Dear God, Dennis Butler is breathtaking. I will get to his story soon, I swear. Oh my, the list grows and grows.

Dennis enjoying a soft, spring rain...
And on that Western beefcake note, I shall say so long. Leaving July 6. I will be popping in and out until then.
I have been doing Sim stories since the fall of 2006, I still enjoy it immensely. And as long as I continue to, I will still be here, doing stories. Thanks for all the support, esp. to my blogs and to my blog compatriots.

Have a safe and serene summer, and see you late August.

EDIT: July 20th~Hiatus will be extended until further notice past middle of August. Not sure how long. CIAO~

DRACULA'S DIARIES PART 18-Possession

The conclusion of this blog. I will need the summer to give this some thought, I am really, really stuck here. Have not been in this neighbourhood for almost 2 months, And inasmuch as I adore these characters, I think I will be leaving them for a time as I try and sort out in my mind where I want to go next, story and character wise.

So, yeah, I am back down to one current story. *Shrug*

Thanks for the support for this tale! The comments have been great and are always welcome.

POSE BOX WHIMSY II~Bingyue's Posebox 7

Some more poses using Burke and Victoria from my Thunder Valley blog...I will be focusing on one posebox only, Bingyue's pose box 7.

You will need the following: Bingyue's pose box 7 get HERE at Simscave (registration required)

Also need Silent Lucidity OMSP for base game and Sim Poser OMSP-ground for the Sim to stand on. Please see good-bye sun's tutorial on getting Sims closer HERE at Sim Haven.
The links for those two items are there in the tutorial.

Pose 1 and 2 I did not take pics of, they are for holding a sword and other object, not needed for my whimsy purposes.


Pose 3-sitting on ground, leaning on one arm
Pose 4-sitting cross-legged on ground.

It goes without saying the moveobjects on cheat is a must. And also the boolprop snapobjectstogrid false where needed.


Pose 5-Standing, arm resting on Sims leg
Pose 6-standing, hugging self

Hmmm. I am sure this should be reversed, but I like where Victoria's hand is positioned. *gulp*

Pose 7-standing, finger pointing
Pose 8- Hugging self, hand on own upper arm




Ok. This is where I used the OMSP sim poser-ground, to make Burke taller and have Victoria's hands fit better.

Pose 9-fists clenched at side (sorry, should have showed that) head down (this is the male pose)
Pose 10- standing, hands resting on chest of Sim, head on shoulder.


Pose 9 -again for Burke, his head is down in this picture, Burke is standing on Sim Poser to look taller.
Pose 11-Standing behind Sim, hands on chest.

I took my finger off the trigger and Victoria made an anguished face...perfect. I am going to use this in my story.
I should explain I do all this by using the pause button in the game, I do not have the freezer clock or AL.

Same pose as above, Victoria now showing the face that came with the pose, Burke, however, seems slightly amused.

Pose 12- lying on bed, beckoning. Can be used for either male or female I assume. "Come to me..."

Pose 13- Lying on stomach on bed

Pose 14-lying on stomach on bed, face buried in pillow. Great for those 'throwing oneself on bed and crying your eyes out' shots.

Pose 15- standing, arms in front, as if to embrace (again, Burke is standing on OMSP poser, to look taller)
Pose 16-arms raised to encircle neck, yeah, they look wonky, the arms. *shrug*

Same pose, close up, love how Victoria is smiling and looking up at him...

Same again, only I left Burke in pose mode, turned it off for Victoria. hey, looks alright!

Pose 17-almost the same pose as 15, standing with arms held out in front as if an embrace (again, Burke on Sims poser)
Pose 18- Hands raised to rest on chest of Sims, fingers curled. (as apposed to above, where hands were resting flat on chest)
Angled the shot to have it look like Burke is kissing Victoria's forehead.

Same as above, but, again, I took my finger off the trigger, Burke looks up and smiles. Awww.

Thanks for having a look!

For more detailed links on the Many, many pose boxes out there, check GoS, the list Good-bye sun put together. HERE
And my fellow Alliance member, Lachesis, who put together some screen shots of some poseboxes (WIP) HERE
