Winter Frolic Photoshoot
It's the most wonderful time of the year. - Eddie Pola, George Wyle, 1963



Holiday project #2 is finished --- hope you guys enjoy this one. :) I'll be uploading these to my gallery in a bit.









The Wife: "How does he do that?"





It began "flurrying" as dusk fell on the lot. However, the flurries didn't last very long --- we thought that was it











Just as Kit was about to steal a kiss from The Wife underneath the mistletoe, the sky opened up and released the rest of the snow.



Boop, the lot's designated holiday feline, tried to swat at the ethereal snowflakes but they proved too elusive. (I'd managed to unlock the starry coat for cats last November.)



So Boop turned her attention to Kit, who had a nice red ribbon for her to play with.



Poor Boop --- I wasn't able to let her eat until the entire shoot was over.



Kit: "How much longer do we have to sit here??? My 'nads have gone numb."

Thanks for viewing. :) Custom content: Maxis for the goofy Elf hats, Grizzelda's Male and Female Elf Clothes mesh (my recolors), Eyeshadow on The Wife is by ForwardMotion (TSR), Snowman from Holy Simoly, Lipstick by Liegenschonheit using Enayla's textures. Large single candle by Maxis. Other candles by DOT (TSR). Starlight by Xanathon (it got obscured by the snow effect though), Large star hanging lights by Solfal (TSR), eyes (Helaene, Barcelonista, Fionaazreal).

Aww, that was magical! I especially love the mistletoe pic - that one could be a postcard. Well actually they all could. Poor Kit. ;)

Happy Christmas to you and yours as well! :D

Yep, Tchaikovsky's Winter Dreams always puts me in the mood; it's become a ritual for me to listen to during the cold months. :)

Oh, this was such a great photo shoot! A beautiful winter wonderland. Kit looks so different with short hair! I almost didn't recognize him. He's still a cutie though. I love the picture where it looks like Emil is leaning on the sleigh and flirting with The Wife. And Boop (love the name!) is so adorable! I didn't know pets could have star coats.

Star coats for pets

Thanks! :) lol The goofy elf hats don't let you keep your sims' hairstyles, which kinda bummed me out a bit, but since I was going for goofy, I guess it turned out for the best.

As for the star coat, it's something you can unlock if you send your pet to work (any pet on any lot in any neighborhood). To quote the Prima guide: "Unlockables are released when a pet on any lot gets a career promotion. Anytime a new promotion is achieved, an unlockable [sic] is randomly chosen and released." In my case, the star coat is one of the few I've managed so far. There was a rainbow one and I think 2 or 3 collars, some of which were for dogs. Hope this helps some. :)
