I started off the year really strong with my decades challenge and then very quickly got side tracked by life! I'm still really happy with the progress throughout the year especially since it was my very first year of simming!

Tagging @applesaucesims !

January:

I was super happy with my little time skip scene... I love romance.. I love love...

February:

This one was super ambitious to me at the time- I didn't quite have the skills to navigate all the story telling and posing I wanted to do, but I think the result was still pretty good!

March:

Erik searching for the missing horses cracked me up because the horse thief and the horse in question started walking down the road autonomously! I love having the game dictate moments for me!!!

April:

A screenshot of what did me in.. a Victorian home based on one in my city- I got burnt out trying to design the interiors for my legacy game

May:

Burn out led me to start my rags to riches mermaid save! Raunchy, self indulgent and pure chaos :D Most of these screenshots aren't uploaded yet so enjoy these sneak peaks 😊

Also I put Miguel O'Hara in my mermaids save and it made me laugh to just see him around Sulani

June:

Between all my mermaids shenanigans I think I was beginning to develop a style that I really enjoyed. Played around with a vibey wordless story that I might go back to later

July:

Nothing💖

August:

Going back to my comfort zone of building silly little witch houses just for the hell of it

September:

Another cute little cottage October:

I was working on a little Halloween build but stopped halfway

November and December: ✨ Nothing ✨ But! I did get really into building in minecraft. Here's to many more screenshots for 2025!

Thank you @aheathen-conceivably for the tag <3 It's fun to look back and realize how much I've changed! I started my blog in December 2023, so 2024 was my very first year on Simblr 💎 And it was an exponential curve of learning!

Tagging @agentoctosims and anyone who wants to participate!

Hello! How do you base a year in the sims for your decades challenge? do you have a set amount of days or weeks? Also how do you get each world to look historically accurate ? do you download lots or build them yourself ?

Thanks

Hi!

I use the 1 sim day = 1/2 irl year method, with my own custom ranges here! I no longer let gameplay days affect how much I plan to write in a year though - the way I've been writing lately is to think in terms of quadrants/seasons for each year - i.e. 'what would they realistically be up to during the first summer in this new town?' This means I don't pop into my canon gameplay save often - I usually am shooting in my backup save.

Thanks for saying things look historically accurate 😊 I am extremely careful about my angles or neighborhood choices to make sure I don't accidentally photograph anything crazy modern in the background, but I also do a metric fuckton of research because it's just what I like to do. Checking out Downton Abbey S3, the Great Gatsby, or Cable Girls might be an easier way to familiarize yourself with what would or wouldn't appear in the 1920's. During Gen 1 in particular, I used @antiquatedplumbobs' Antiquated Brindleton save file, which was extremely helpful in getting me going.

I do a mix of downloaded and self-made lots - if I do download from the gallery, I usually edit the hell out of it to make it fit the 1920s. For this new WOTG era of my decades challenge, I'm trying very hard to make the lots myself.

Thanks for your curiosity, I hope I answered your questions clearly! 💛

Mirror: Don't worry about all that! Just focus on finding an exit point! Poppy: Exit Point? Mirror: An anchor- a tether. Look for things that are out of place. It will be glitching, angry. Something from our world creating a temporary bridge to this one.

Mirror: All you have to do is touch it. Poppy: Got it. Mirror: I know you do.

Mirror: And before you go - could I ask one favor? Poppy: Yeah, Anything.

Mirror: The next time you see Alejandro… Would you um, could you tell him -

Poppy: I'm Sorry.

Alejandro: Poppy? Poppy can you hear me?

Alejandro: 𝘔𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘢.

happy one year anniversary to my decades legacy!!

rarely has something inspired me to learn, make, and improve like this project has. may continuing the story in 2025 lead to more skill development, creativity, and friendships with fellow storytellers 💛

Volume 1: Paper, Cotton, Leather

[auspexsims]

Contrary to what they had been telling themselves all morning, the Agent and the Cowboy were not fine. An unstoppable force had met an immovable object, and they were both just bullheaded enough to keep pushing.

But on the other side of the ridge, 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀.

Logically, she decided to start with the most immediate problem and work out from there. (🎵 ) Namely, the first being that - 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀.

She had done as instructed, following her mother into the structure, eyes closed- a generous reprieve from the desert landscape that had beginning to roll and twist around her.

But when she reopened her eyes once more, instead of the expected dark interior of the tent, she instead found herself -

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝘀𝗲.

The glassy mirror of the water rippled out with each step, each disturbance upon it's surface.

The ethereal lake seemed to extend endlessly in every direction, edges cloaked by a low hanging fog, while remnants of the landscape she had left moments ago stuck out of the quiet pool like old memories.

Poppy: 𝘔𝘰𝘮? What the fuck did you do?

Hinoki: I told you I had something to show you, didn't I?
