The Tears of La Llorona

Water as dark as her lover’s eyes/ And deep like the pain she tries to hide/ He pledged his love to her and/ Vanished without a trace/ The tears of Llorona glisten on her face/ She walks into the water/ To wash away the pain/ Lifts her head to the sky/ And screams out his name                                                           - Lyrics by Kent Newsome and Robert Clay

You can read the legend of La Llorona in this post of mine.

Thanks for the tag @simmingstuff!

List 6 movies you never get tired of watching, post them with GIFS and talk a little about why you love each one.

I could go on forever with this list but off the top of my head...

The Grand Budapest Hotel - I adore all Wes Anderson’s movies but this one has a special place in my heart.  It’s visually stunning, has such a fantastical and original story, is all around so well done, and is a delight to watch.

A Christmas Story - Watching this movie to kick off the holiday season is a Christmas tradition in my family.  It has the perfect balance of sentimentality and edge and has some of the best writing of all time (so witty and descriptive).

Beetlejuice - I love all Tim Burton films but this might be my favorite because of its dark & twisted humor, imaginative ghost story, and some inspired musical numbers.

Pulp Fiction - It’s a masterpiece that never gets old (the writing, direction, and acting is so damn good).

Raising Arizona - I’m a fan of all the Coen Brothers movies but this one is my favorite because of its strangeness, perverse humor, and eccentric characters.

Clueless - Such a clever modern interpretation of Emma (a favorite book of mine) that’s non-stop hilarious and so much fun.

Tagging @jenba, @bridgeportgirl, @fixitjules, @ariel-simmies, @dangerous-stain-builds, @simsofapt10, @sunflower-sim, and whoever wants to do this (no pressure if you’ve already done it or don’t want to do it).

Witch Haven Manor - Office

I’m only half finished decorating the Witch Haven Manor but I thought I’d share some pictures of the interiors.  It’s strange that I’ve been collecting custom content for close to two years but never actually decorated a home with it and I have to say… one, I’ve found my happy place and two, I can slowly feel myself falling down the cc rabbit hole.  So, a huge thanks to all the amazing cc creators who make this game so much better and bring us simmers so much joy!

Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake your body line!

Yoshi & Matilde

Meet Yoshi Nakamura and Matilde Barton, my sims for @jenba‘s population project.  Yoshi and Matilde first met as kids when they moved next door to each other.  They were best friends until Yoshi’s family moved away when they were in high school.  By happy chance they attended the same university, fell in love, and realized that they never wanted to part again.  These newlyweds are excited to start their lives together in Newlyn Hills - they bought a little house they love (the Dunford starter) and opened a bakery and tea shop.  

Info under the cut...

Yoshi & Matilde will be in @jenba‘s Newlyn Hills world save which will be released sometime next month.  They are also available for download in the Gallery under my Origin ID vicarious-sims4.

TOU:  Feel free to use my sims as base sims or change them however you want, but please don’t claim them as your own.  I’d love it if you tagged me (#vicarious-sims) if you use my sims because it would be fun to see them in your game.
