Grims 100 Painting & Skull Challenge ... Update 1


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grim is not naturally Artistic .... so he is being MADE to paint!!


He seems to be enjoying the painting, as he has decided he wants a Painting Carreer.
Until he has done his 100 Painting challenge, becoming a self employed Painter is not really an option.
He can not sell the paintings for his job, when he needs to be hanging them on the wall!!

Painting Number 1

is now down in the basement on the wall.


Being Frugal, Grim is obsessed with cutting coupons out of the newspaper.
Which makes him another one of those very annoying sims, who constantly keep turning all the electric lights off and leaving us completely in the dark.


It might get a little confusing, with three skeletons walking around the house.
However, you can not really miss Bones, with her skull dress and fairy wings.


There are two skeleton maids who keep the house clean, tidy and fix broken objects fairly quickly.
You can not really mix them up either!  One is dressed in blue, the other in black.

Blue Hilda and Black Hilda are their names.


Blue Hilda, when not doing the housework,
seems to spend most of her time staring at herself in the mirror or reading.

I am not sure where Black Hilda is right now.  She is probably in her coffin, waiting for something to do.

It gets very amusing watching two skeleton maids fighting over the house work!!


And here is Wraps!!

Wraps is neither use nor ornament for me, and he just lulls around the house
playing computer games and watching tv, most of the time.

However, he keeps Grim very happy, and I am not talking in a romantic sense.
Wraps is Grim's Best Friend, and Grim does not make friends easily!!
They are also play mates ... with them both being childish.  
So most of the time Grim and Wraps are just like children,
playing with toys and being very childish together!!


Bones being a fairy ....


and witch.


Blue Hilda must be a book worm, she is always reading.
I get the feeling Black Hilda is lazy, because she would rather hide away in her coffin when there is no house work for her to do.


Bones and Wraps do not get on very well, they are always having little tiffs.


Grim has what he needs for his skull making.
All he needs now is to start collecting gem rocks ... when they start spawning.


Bones has a fairy house, which is where she sleeps.
Although it might have to be moved, I am not sure why I put it between the sarcophagus.
The inhabitance are not very friendly!!!


Grim is in his magic room, learning some spells.


The summon spell comes in very handy, especially when he wants Wraps.


Wraps is SO SLOW it is almost extremely painful to watch!!
If you have no patience (and I don't) NEVER play with a mummy seriously!!
They have a super extended life span for a reason, because it takes them a day to get anywhere!!

There is no point Wraps getting a job outside of the house, 
because it is doubtful that he will get there before his shift is over!!



Wraps is awake 24/7, because he does not need sleep like Grim and Bones do.
He is also house trained, it is guaranteed he will never pees on the carpet.

Being a mummy he NEVER need to use the toilet, that bodily function does not exist!!
Which makes me wander what happens to all the food he shuvels down his throat!!


Both of the Bonehilda coffins are outside.
Strategically place close to the dustbin, so they can beat the racoon up
every time he tries to tip the bin over!!


The childish ones need their toys!!! tut!!


Painting 2


All of the paintings will be going on the wall in the basement, well most of them.
The house has a dark gothic feel about it, and colourful pictures will spoil it.


and out comes his teddy bear!!


of course only his best mate gets it!!



Now it is Wrap's turn .... and yes they have matching teddy bears!!


You be careful Grim!!!
You are letting them see you cooing over a stuffed bear.
They might start thinking you have a heart!!


ALL Skeleton maids are perverts!!!!
Blue Hilda is not embarrassed about ogling the naked man in the bath!


the amusing thing ... 
sims don't get stressy over their dignity 
when there is a skeleton maid in the bathroom with them.  
When they should!!!!


Bones loves the Crystal Ball.
She is always predicting her own future, 
a lot of the time losing the family fund money!


that is her happy reaction


and here is Max ... Grim's black dragon.


Every Grim Reaper has to have a Black dragon!!
They cough up death flowers on demand.


Ooohhhh .... the phyco mummies are out!!!

They generally wander around the basement for a few hour,
and beat anyone up that gets close to them,
IF they can catch them .. which is not often!


and finally you get to see Daisy, their pet Cow Plant. 

Daisy is actually pretty harmless as long as they keep her fed.
Only Blue and Black Hilda are stupid enough to try and eat cake!!!
I think Daisy likes meat on the bones she eats, because she keeps spitting them back out!!


Bllllaaaaaaaaaaah


Welcome to Grim's world!!!!

Grim's 100 Painting & Gem Skull Challenge ... Introduction


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grims 100 Painting & Gem Skull Challenge



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grim's 100 Painting Challenge

Grim is going to be painting 100 different  paintings and hanging them all up on the wall.

I have done this challenge before, with my Simself Red.  
However, I only  had the game paintings to look at then,
but now I have added an amazing Painting Mod, that produces some awesome paintings.
So I am excited to do this challenge again ... just to see the new paintings.

Painting Mod >> Here <<


Grim's 100 Gem Skull Challenge

Grim will be making 100 gem skulls and displaying them around the house.

Gem Skulls has always been one of my favourite parts of the sims 3,
because in real life, I have a skull and skeleton obsession and collect them!!

Making 100 skulls is not going to be an easy task,
as Grim is going to need to acquire at least 800 gem rocks to do it,
as each skull needs 8 cut gems!!

I will also be working to achieving their Lifetime Wishes,
as well as generally just messing about!!
So I not following any rules!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A bit about Grim ....

Yes, he is a witch, or should I say wizzard?!


 Traits = Family Orientated - Evil - Childish - Brave - Frugal
Lifetime Wish = Jack of all trades.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He has retired from his job of collecting the dead, so don't be too hard on him.
He is not quite the evil monster that you might think he is,
as you will soon see!!!

You will be seeing Grim without his cloak on from time to time,
but not very often.

and here is the man who hides underneath the cloak!!


I am playing on Assylum Island.
The very first world that I ever built, which is not brilliant!!
However, it works and is good for messing about on, even without there not being any roads.


at the moment there are only two community lots on the island,
but I will be adding new ones as the challenge goes on.


The beach


A few community Rabbit holes
(I LOVE the lunar lake rabbit holes, because they are so space saving.
 and can be used to build up a whole town on the tiniest of islands!!)


This is how Grims house is looking at the moment,
but it is still a work in progress.



Living room


Library / Study


Kitchen


Bathroom


Grim's bedroom


a spare bedroom
with a death trap bed (he! he!)


 Down in the basement, where the paintings will be hung and the skulls made and displayed.
Grim has his own secret magic room.




Grims's Housemates.

You might have spotted that Grim does not live here totally alone,
he actually has two other Housemates, Bones and Wraps.
As well as two skeleton maids, a pet cow plant and dragon.

that lurk about down in the basement from time to time.
