It came!
I'm never going to fear death again.

I'm never going to fear death again.
I showed the one I tried to upload last night, but here she is in game, to show how the wings really look. She's a blue morpho, and they're South American, so she's from Sulani and has Sulani mana.
I decided I needed a monarch, and they're North American and like to "puddle" in livestock pastures, sometimes even sipping animal sweat, I decided to make her a Native American horse lover.
And I also made a spicebush swallowtail, because I myself will be buying a spiceberry shrub this year just so I can see them in my yard.
Edit - resolved. Apparently black edging is scandalous.
I don't think this looks technical enough to go in the troubleshooting thread, apologies if I've misjudged. I'm getting a "forbidden word" error. I've taken out the hashtag for the butterfly name, it's not a pronoun issue (I've run into that with a few non binary sims but she's female), other hashtags I've used before. I tried uploading a sim with Morpho and peleides in the title, and it let me so it's not that. I even tried it without the word butterfly anywhere in case the filter had an issue with the first four letters, and that didn't work.
I made a new game template using my favorite sims from my EA gallery, favorite builds, and my backstory in place. I play tested it after I uninstalled many of my packs, focusing on what I tend to use and enjoy the most. In my world, supernatural sims seek refuge from wars in the Sylvan Mountains outside of Sylvan Glade, and supersims in training (all still have some goals left to make them more playable) to act as mentors to less skilled sims, when I wish to use the microlots they live on. Other homes are meant to be more of a challenge, like there's a ton of runaway teens. I put the file for a new save template up on my blog here, or if you just want to browse some of these sims and lots below here's my profile.
This microlot is built to train children, with two immortal werewolf mentors.
The main mansion was designed by a celebrity chef and a police chief, whose memorial is at the family plot in Ravenwood (run by their daughter Rhiannon, a witch who has a champion bloodline.
The heiress to the mansion Rhiannon grew up in had a skin tone surprise for me, you never know what's under Death's hood.
Okay, so all of that stuff is in my gallery or on the template, on my blog through the links above, hope you enjoy 😄
EA gallery name is GemmaSarracenia, and I have shingles today so if you downloaded or liked these on the gallery, it would cheer me up.
My Newcrest is growing with a modern castle type theme, lots of glass roofs.
I finally made the science museum I've always wanted to do, yay! I'm also showing off the lot it's next to, because they look great side by side on the two lowest lots of Newcrest. The museum is great for club meetings, and has an anthropology/archeology wing along with a lab, robot station, rocket ship, and playground and bathrooms for all ages. Nice viewing station on the second floor to observe rocket launches, and the classroom/gift shop features a few of my favorite reward items. It's built so that if you don't have certain packs, it should still be useable.
It's next to Castle Fun Stuff, a lot I built a while ago, that is my go-to for most date nights. It has a bowling alley in the basement, two movie screens, a concession stand, dance floor, arcade, and secret spots for kissies in the labyrinth. For birthdays and family events, it also has a grilling area. You can bypass the labyrinth for that area, or to get inside.
Picnic area toward the bottom.
