Travel Coordinator: “Sir, you know what this entails right? You’ll be leaving everyone you know behind, going to sleep for centuries. Waking up somewhere completely new, and everyone you knew will be gone.”

They seemed shocked by my decision, as if they really didn’t expect anyone to want this. Which was kinda funny, considering they had asked for volunteers. But it was understandable, I had some of my crazy ideas shot down for years.

Landon: “I’m 100% sure this is what I want to do!”

I didn’t have any family. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. All I had was my cat, and they said I could bring him with me. I wanted to start over, see new worlds. Do things no one else was doing. I knew I’d be doing everything they were warning me about, and I loved it!

I read about volunteers needed for something big. Now you may think I’m crazy for being excited about it. But I’ve always been adventurous. See, since the first person walked on the moon, humans have always been excited about exploring space. Wanting to go out further and further as possible. Though there was a lot of skeptics as well. Which is probably why I was one of a handful that actually signed up.

You see, some crazy scientists, probably as crazy as I am, came up with a way to do exactly what people wanted. To go far. They must have had this whole idea hidden for a while, but they found a way to go to a whole new galaxy. Outside of the milky way! See, crazy right? And you may be thinking it was all some big scam to get money out of people and than everyone who worked on the project would suddenly disappear without a trace and you would end up broke. But they weren’t taking any money. They seemed to know how crazy it sounded, and didn’t expect anyone to actually want to go off to space with them on something they didn’t even really know would work.

But I couldn’t wait to go!

Have you ever decided to do something you thought would be fun, and exciting, only to have your plans blow up in your face and then you’re left with this big decision that could basically decide the fate of all of humanity? No? Well, you might think I’m being dramatic, but that is exactly what happened to me. It’s not an exaggeration either. But you need more explanation I’m sure, so let me tell you a little story of how those plans I had, changed everything.

So yup, I’m starting a new sims story. And yes it doesn’t have much explanation yet, and yup the graphic and the name of the damn story is awful. Not to mention I suck at story introductions, but hey. I’m trying xD. Basically if you don’t know me. I tend to make a whole bunch of stories at once to keep my brain interested. Because playing one thing for too long makes my over active brain kind of bored. So I’m making something new. I don’t know if anyone will like it, but hey, I’m having fun with it.

~~Also let me just say. It was super difficult for me to make a human sim. I kept looking at him like NO SOMETHING IS MISSING!!!!~~

So here they are, the WIP I showed yesterday. I didn’t want to take screenshots of each individual one, because they would take way too long, So instead I just took one of each species and gender. For a full look at what these look like, you can see in these swatches HERE. I didn’t merge the files, so if there is any of them you don’t want, they’re listed in order for that swatch, so Type 1 of the Angaran Female tattoos, will be the first one show, and so forth.

These come in all ages and genders, and show up in the facepaint category. They do cover the eyebrows, but I don’t mind that so I didn’t bother with layering. I put them in my Crystallum colors, + also a black one. Feel free to recolor, and use how you wish!

Preview of what I’m working on. I replayed Mass Effect Andromeda again for like the 50th time, and wanted to see if I could extract the alien tattoos from the game, and found out I could! So naturally, I obviously need more alien stuff for Sims 4. These are Angara, Asari, Krogan, Salarian, and Turian tattoos. Each species has 6 for each gender. Except Asari, as they only have one gender. Salarian for some reason, only had 6. And the Krogan ones were unisex I suppose. Though I couldn’t find any for the special characters like Vetra and Sid. They’re probably painted on to their skin or something. But hey, I got some good ones at least!

Also I apologize if the turian ones look weird. It was difficult to fit them to a human face. I’ll be releasing them as soon as I put some colors to them, and probably texture as well.

When I had fully recovered it was time for me to return to school. I was both excited and nervous. Excited cus I was finally confident about myself. I basically hid myself in baggy clothes, always feeling uncomfortable. Now, I didn’t care, even my scars I would wear proudly. I was only nervous cus I was wondering what everyone would think, like Oak and her popular clique. But I was starting to realize, I didn’t really care anymore. I was finally who I was meant to be, and screw what everyone else thought.

I was so sore after that, I hardly ever got out of bed. The only time I even moved was to text Cobbler. I was on painkillers, but even that didn’t stop everything. I mean, they removed a piece of my arm skin to– Okay, TMI moment, but it’s my story, so who cares. They removed it in order to construct my… genitalia. So that hurt like hell. But still, I was happy. Even while I was hurting I finally felt comfortable with my outward appearance. The body may have been cosmetically created, but I definitely felt like I was in the body I was supposed to be born with.

Cobbler knew I was going to be going home soon. Which meant we’d be far away. I didn’t want to leave him behind, honestly I wanted to take him home with me. I fell for him so hard, he was more first love, and I wanted him to be my last. He promised to visit when the school year was over though, and I was definitely happy about that.

Before they took me up, Cobbler pulled me close and kissed me. I was so shocked. I’d never actually kissed anyone before. He told me it was just for good luck, but he was smirking. I knew when they took me upstairs and hooked me up to the machines my heart would be pounding. I was so happy in that moment. I was finalizing my transition, and I was pretty sure I had a boyfriend.

Nurse Hoshi: Alright Cam, I’m here to take you up to the operating room. But, I’m going to need to take your hat and piercings. We can’t have those in there with you.

Camellia: Oh right! I must have forgotten… but I’m more than ready, let’s go!

We texted a lot for the next few weeks. He told me all about helping out at the shelter, and I explained about my appointments, and when the surgery was scheduled. It was so nice to have someone outside of my family listen to me about this stuff. He completely understood and held no judgement, it had been forever since anyone did that for me before.

When the day of my surgery arrived, he even showed up at the hospital to show is support. I was so surprised, but grateful. Folly is a great big sister and I’m grateful she came with me, but having Cobbler there reaffirmed for me that I was taking the right steps.
