At the beginning of my Sims 4 journey, I wanted to create sims as well, just to try out the CAS and also to playtest my builds. Julia was made during the process of "House with Bougainvillea", whenever I needed a break from building. Her face was an attempt to avoid same face syndrome, and I liked it so much that reused her as my sim future spouse. To my surprise, when I visited her house I also found 4 kids! It turns out I forgot to remove her playtesting version from the world, so there were two Julias walking around, and I dated the older one. Rubia and [???] were from cas, while the other two were newer additions. I didn't have space in the household for all of them, so [???], which was already a young adult, had to go. 

"Then she met Julia Sestari, and while she acted strangely, leaving conversations midway and talking to herself and plants, there was something endearing about her that compelled Mari to dig deeper. From their dates, she learned that Julia was a stay-at-home mom, and upon visiting her house, was shocked to find not just one infant, but also a toddler and a teenager!"

To tie with the pack more and to use the male CAS, José was envisioned, which is why the description is mostly about him. I struggled a lot to fix them, especially Rubia, who went through a lot of phases before I thought she was "good enough". Due to this, they don't have 2+ outfits in every category, but I updated all of them with the latest CAS additions.

For the outfits overview, I figured out how to hide the UI with a Reshade add-on by vyxated, facilitating the process and allowing me to choose crazier poses. The family and individual photos were taken on my Selvadorada Bar, with the former one being a mixture of multiples shots from the same angle, in order to achieve a better result, or at least try to, before Julia decide to move.
