Spooky Vibes and Sick Boi Tunes

Hey, Readers.  Back with some more music recommendations for your listening pleasure.  First up, is Danielle Gormley.  A.K.A Spookster Vibes.  A.K.A Spooky V.

Spooky V is a friendly neighborhood ghost who likes sharing her favorite music in the way of mixes and reposts.  This is a good way to discover new artists to check out.  Float on over to her soundcloud and enjoy the spooky vibes.  

Next up is Ren.  A lot of his songs delve into things like mental health, greed and corruption.  His music videos are both creative and fit the messages of the songs well.  I'm not even going to try to go into depth about his sound.  It will just sound like nonsensical babble.

Instead, I'll leave you with the music video for his song, Hi Ren.  In the video, he's having an argument with his negative thoughts.

Searching in Venice

Hey, readers.  Last week, I got to watch a special screening of an animated short film by Mike J. McAllister.  It's called "Never Saw Venice."  Let's just say that it's about a guy who's going through some things.  It...hit...hard.

"Never Saw Venice" is a tough watch, but I recommend checking it out when it's released.  The short isn't available for viewing on his youtube channel.  Mike wants to shop it around to some film festivals.  However, the trailer for it is.  You can watch the trailer here or on his youtube channel.

T-Shirts, Posters & Beyond

Hey, Readers.  Just wanted to remind you that I have an online shop on Redbubble.  That's where I sell products with my spooky and weird designs on them.  Most of them are skull related, but there are a couple that aren't.  Below are video and pics that were sent me by customers of some of the stuff that they bought from my shop.







Seems people really like my design from the Stares in Sugar Skull Collection.  If you want to get your hands on some of my awesome offerings, click This Link.  It will take you straight to my Redbubble shop and you can check out the rest of my designs.  The shop link can also be found in the header of my blog and in my profile.

Bi Some Merch


Hey, readers.  Happy Pride Month.  Hope you're having fun and staying safe out there.  I wanted to give a rainbow spotlight to a shop that's run by one of my discord mutuals.

The shop is called BiOurPride.  It's run by a queer, disabled, Latine artist that sells products with pride based designs on them.  The pic below displays some of the stuff that they sell.  BiOurPride can be found on Redbubble and TeePublic.  Sport the rainbow!  Taste the rainbow!

Let's Get Your Simming Organized!

 

Hey, readers.  Recently, I was offered the opportunity to become an affiliate for the Yellow Llama Co.  What's the Yellow Llama Co.?  It's an online shop run by a simmer that sells digital and printed stationary to help other simmers better organize their gameplay.  The shop offers things like digital planners, a mod tracker and widget stickers.

If you want to give digital planning a try, but not sure about committing to purchasing a digital planner, you can download a set of digital polaroid stickers and a set of digital simmer starter stickers for free.  You can also get a free digital sim calendar planner for tablets.

Digital organizing/planning isn't your thing?  Don't worry.  The shop also sells physical planners.  One for daily gameplay and one for weekly gameplay.

Click my affiliate link and check out the Yellow Llama Co. for yourself.  The link can also be found in the blog's header under Affiliates.

Custom Content for Your Alternative Needs

Hey, Readers.  Today, I want to talk sims.  Specifically, custom content for the sims 4.  If you're a sims player that enjoys making goth, punk or alternative sims, but find those items in the game to be lacking, then you might like the cc that I'm about to share with you.  F in the chat for any console players that might be reading this.

The cc that I'm about to talk about comes from The Crypt O' Club.  It's a discord server for alternative simmers.  Some of the server's custom content creators will occasionally come together and release alternative themed Crypt O' Club Collabs.  So far, they have released 4 cc stuff packs.

The first collab to be released by The Crypt O' Club is the Punk Pride stuff pack.  I believe this pack was released during Pride Month the year before last.


Pack Description: Get your pride on with the first ever collab from The Crypt O' Club discord!  You'll find all sorts of objects, accessories, clothes, makeup and more from our talented creators to celebrate the month of pride with some alternative style!  Most of the items include up to 20 different flag designs for your sims.  From rainbow studded jackets basic graphic tees, even the blandest of the bunch can find something to enjoy.

Next up, is the Creepy Creations stuff pack.


Pack Description: Prepare for some frights with the second collab straight out of The Crypt O' Club discord!  Our talented creators have whipped up some ghoulish delights for all to enjoy during this Halloween season.  Enjoy furniture, clothing, makeup and more inspired by many spooky and seasonal films from Tim Burton classics, to vampire flicks and everything in between!  But even when the Halloween season is over, we're sure you'll enjoy these treats year-round.

The third Crypt O' Collab is the DIY or Die stuff pack.


Pack Description: Grab your safety pins and get ready to do-it-yourself with the third collab from The Crypt O' Club!  You'll enjoy all of the hand-made hairs, makeup, clothing, objects and more from all of our talented collaborators!  From unprofessionally cut bangs to torn tights, patched jeans to upcycled decor, there's plenty to love and more in this pack!

The fourth and latest Crypt O' Collab is the Angsty Adolescence stuff pack.


Pack Description: It's time to rediscover your discovery phase with the fourth collab by The Crypt O' Club!  Experience growing pains in style as you hang out in your favorite store at the mall or skate your heart out.  We got checkers, stripes and more for all your teens to sport this season!  From new trends to old classics, your teenage dreams will be brought back to life with the help of all our talented creators!

Honorable Mention: Trillyke


While she doesn't focus specifically on alternative cc, Trillyke does have some alt gems on her downloads page.  Like the boots pictured above.  She's one of the few cc creators that fills my platform/chunky shoe needs.

It's been 84 Years...

Hey, readers.  The title of this post is a bit misleading, but it has been a long time since I last posted.  So.....what has been going on with me?  A mix of something and nothing.

Just been trying to promote my 2 online shops.  Besides that, I'm still trying to figure things out and getting more into playing the Sims 4.  If you're interested in products with weird and creepy designs on them, check out my Redbubble shop.  For your handmade jewelry needs, check out my Ko-fi shop.  Links to both can be found in the bolded text, the blog header, my profile and my linktree

Also, if you play the Sims 4, feel free to follow me on the gallery.  I tend to mostly upload builds.  Might start uploading sims in the future.  My gallery id is Skulls-n-Coffee.

Til next time.
