Re: Sims 3 community
Didnā€™t expect to get so many responses on that post! Apparently Iā€™m not the only one who feels this way and it seemed to have resonated with others. Here are some more thoughts of mine on this matter (warning: I talk a lot...)
borderlinedub said: Dying? Iā€™d argue itā€™s already dead. Youā€™re the only active ts3 blog on my dash right now.
I have, like, 10 (?) active ts3 blogs on my dash, but most of them are semi-active and some are alternating between ts3 and ts4. As someone who enjoys stories, I feel like a couple years ago I could always find a compelling legacy/story to read, and now thereā€™s only a few blogs who post them at all (and I do have some genre preferences too, so itā€™s even harder to find what Iā€™m looking for). I feel like the only way out is to start paying attention to ts4 stories because I donā€™t mind them (for me good storytelling and personality of the blogger is more important than the game part), but... itā€™s a shame so many ts3 storytellers are no more, the aesthetic of the game in combination with stories worked so well and I had an easier time getting attached to the characters.
dandylion240 said: I still have running TS3 stories but I only update them on the weekend because of how long it takes to open the game and get pics. I love your stories but I understand the struggle. I enjoy your stories but I also know youā€™ve got to enjoy what your doing otherwise itā€™s not fun anymore.
I totally understand that and while Iā€™m sad so many people switched to ts4, I absolutely get why they did so. The loading times and lag of ts3 requires a lot of patience, and I mean a lot, so just because I have this patience doesnā€™t mean others do (to be honest, I donā€™t always have it either, and there are times when Iā€™m also considering switching, but I gave a lot of chances to ts4 and it just doesnā€™t catch my interest. Not saying it canā€™t change in the future when there are more packs and interactions). And thank you for sticking with my stories, itā€™s appreciated!
starsweeperskies said: Youā€™re one of the few that I follow and are still active. :c I wish the community could come backā€¦
starsweeperskies said: And queuing this is admittedly why I stopped posting pics of my game. :t just was such a pain.
Yeah, maybe my mindset has changed over the years and itā€™s normal, but like... in the past I was so excited to post stuff, I was even a little anxious in a good way and was looking forward to it. But now, even though I get sparks of excitement now and then, most of the time I feel like all the effort is not worth it, as drafting takes so much time and often just feels like a chore, combined with the communityā€™s inactivity (therefore lack of people to share ideas and be excited with, because even some of my friends moved on), long loading times, tumblr being glitchy, my general tiredness and health issues etc. Iā€™m considering doing casual gameplays/photoshoots/short stories instead of legacies because thatā€™s something I can do on my own terms and not be likeĀ ā€œugh, I have such a cool idea for this next generation but Iā€™ll never get through all the boring stuff prior to itā€ and then force myself to play and draft this boring stuff. Iā€™ve always liked the legacy format but itā€™s tiring sometimes.
amixofpixels said: Iā€™m not the only one yet. Iā€™ve been trying to find more active 3 blogs and itā€™s not the easiest but they are still there. I do believe Iā€™m in the minority whoā€™s game doesnā€™t cause them issues, but then, again, I play in a very unusual way. šŸ˜…
I actually tried playing in a way similar to yours (cas rainbowcy that Iā€™m yet to post), and even though Iā€™m more of a storyteller, it works pretty well when I just want to generate some cute sims and make them over (I do get those urges from time to time). I always preferred following blogs similar to mine (ts3 legacies, preferably story-based but not necessarily), but now, as I said above, thereā€™s not even a lot of blogs to choose from. Maybe Iā€™m a bit picky, but the blogger themselves is a defining factor as well - I had to give up on a few good blogs that liked to be involved in drama or acted arrogant, even if I enjoyed their content. Generally, itā€™s a huge bonus for me when people are really attached to their sims characters and enthusiastic about them - itā€™s always been infectious and inspiring and you wanted to know more about their babies. But I feel like this aspect also died down a little, and I donā€™t blame people. Maybe I should research writeblr community and see whatā€™s it like there.

I have three weeks to learn everything for my last exams. Am I dying already? Well, no, but actually, yes. I kinda wish we had less time because this way, Iā€™m going to waste so much of it procrastinating.
But maybe now that Iā€™ve told you, Iā€™ll decide to not procrastinate so that you can be proud of me or something. Maybe Iā€™ll show that I am in fact capable of character development. Idk.
Yeah, Iā€™m losing my mind. Just a little bit.
By the way, anyone else feels dead inside after watching the new Game of Thrones episode? You know, in the first part, I literally forgot what I was watching because everyone was so happy and celebrating and all that and then I got a reminder. This show is going to be the death of me.

I feel ya on social media. I recently got rid of a mobile game and the associated fb pages I was in. Iā€™m no longer constantly checking my phone for it. Itā€™s been nice taking a break from that. Focus on school, since thatā€™s the most important thing. Come find us when you need a breather. ļæ½ļæ½

Yes, social media are basically time-eaters who steal the time which could be spend on writing or simming. Recently I've unsubscribed from several Instagram pages dedicated to memes as they my flooded dash and I spent too much time on them. Last two days I've played TS3 world adventures on my laptop without internet connection and it was great
tiny-tany-thaanosĀ replied to your photoĀ ā€œBefore we get to the replies, I want to quickly address something. Iā€™m...ā€
And I barely paid attention to tumblr as well recently... Well the weather is so great that it would be a crime to spend time onlineXD
Ooh boy, if I was able to get rid of all the memes pages I follow, Iā€™d have so much free time on my hands. But also, I mean...memes.
As for social media, I wish I could deactivate my Facebook account. I really wish. But sadly, all the people I know irl are there. I have to stay there to keep in touch with them. We still share a lot of school stuff there, Iā€™d be lost without it. But those are the only reasons Iā€™m there, I never post on it anymore. I actually deleted most of my photos and old status updates and unfollowed most pages.
Iā€™m going to repeat myself here but Iā€™m so glad I got rid of Twitter. I loved it there, but at the same time, it fueled my negativity. Even when I found and muted or straight up unfollowed the biggest sources of it, I wasnā€™t happy. So I just stepped into the daylight and let it go and it was the best decision I could make. Even though now tumblr will probably have to deal with my random thoughts. I need to find a special tag for that. Not justĀ ā€œnonsimsā€ orĀ ā€œsaviorhideā€. MaybeĀ ā€œsimmeronnie is losing it againā€.

Lmao youā€™re not wrong. Or it could be something like a stream where they only record videos of really really gorgeous sky. Iā€™d watch that. Seriously, shut up and take my money. I could stare at pretty sky all day.

I recently went back and started this legacy. (Just got to the Gen 5 switch). I think Rachel is absolutely adorable.
Ahh, no way! I hope youā€™re having fun even though itā€™s a total mess :DĀ I have to agree though, I love Rachel, sheā€™s awesome.
Watch out, tiny gen 4 rant coming. When I have nothing else to do and I feel inspired, I rewrite gen 4 because I love these characters and they deserve a way better story. I consider the stories they got in the legacy the first drafts/starting point/base or something like that. So in some way, most of this stays in theĀ ā€œnew canonā€, itā€™s just thought through better or changed a little bit.
Okay, that wasnā€™t really a rant but seriously, stop me whenever I seem like Iā€™m about to start rambling about gen 4.

Ah, yes, same. Number 4...oh god. Been there, sort of. Just because Iā€™m crushing on a person doesnā€™t mean I imagine being with them in bed all the freaking time. *looks at a friend who loves to imply that...when Iā€™m actually a small innocent child who only knows woohoo from the sims and Iā€™m not ashamed to admit it*

Don't let them get to you. Something I have learned as I've grown older: Hobbies come and go. One minute you'll find enjoyment in something and the next it doesn't hold the same appeal. Some times you'll come back to that hobby and some times you never pick it up again. Taking a break is something everyone needs. They even tell new parents to take a little "me time" so that they don't get overwhelmed. Taking a moment to collect yourself is understandable.
108simsĀ replied to your postĀ ā€œSo youā€™ve made posts in the past about how youā€™re lonely or feel alone...ā€
Taking breaks from tumblr is good for your sanity. I had to last month for the sake of my mental health I got stressed out falling behind here and dealing with job stuff. Just like for you with school, job takes priority over my blog. Iā€™ve taken so many breaks, honestly itā€™s fun to enjoy other hobbies and do other things.
dandylion240Ā replied to your postĀ ā€œSo youā€™ve made posts in the past about how youā€™re lonely or feel alone...ā€
RL should always take priority. Taking breaks and doing other things is healthy and good. Don't let this anon get to you or make you feel guilty.
tiny-tany-thaanosĀ replied to your postĀ ā€œSo youā€™ve made posts in the past about how youā€™re lonely or feel alone...ā€
Anon is strange - as if tumblr was the only life you've got and you have to stay here whenever you like it or not. Why read between the lines and find unexisting stuff there like you don't care about your followers? It comes without saying that a person needs breaks from the tumblr every now and then
But who knows probably the anon wanted only to provoke you to start our "favorite" drama. In this case they do need to find a life for themselves
Btw too - feeling lonely on tumblr also can be a reason for a hiatus, so anon makes no sense
So I kinda didnā€™t want to address this anymore because I feel like Iā€™ve said everything in my lengthy answer to that ask but I just wanna say thank you for writing all of this. I didnā€™t feel bad when I got this, the anon didnā€™t change my opinion, I still believe everyone has the right to take a break, leave tumblr behind for a bit and not feel sorry about it. Take that me time and come back better than ever (or not if you donā€™t feel like, thatā€™s fine too)! I was still worried about posting this answer though. So thank you for letting me know Iā€™m not the only one who feels this way!

That sounds like a really fun way to spend your last day! At my school at least we had a Senior day where there were a bunch of games and activities. Good luck on your exams, and I hope you enjoy your last day and everything that is to come!
It was very fun and everyone looked so good in their costumes! One of my classmates wore this 20s-like dress and oooh boy. She was gorgeous. Just...leaving on that day was really bittersweet. Part of me was likeĀ ā€œyas, weā€™re done with this place!ā€ but the other part of me already missed it. And yeah, our teacher didnā€™t forget to remind us that all of us might never meet again. There are reunions, itā€™s a tradition, but thereā€™s always someone who canā€™t come.
Okay, moving on or else Iā€™ll start crying, and Iā€™ve already cried a lot today. Looking at you, GoT episode 4.

@simmeronnie But itā€˜s another kind of pink ā˜ŗļø
Alright guys, I have an idea. Shoot me a message and we can talk about it! Iā€™m down for this. Hereā€™s just a brief description of everyone I can offer (in case someone else would like a sim and would like to know what theyā€™re signing up for), we can talk more in depth in the messages later. I have one mean pink girl who loves robots, then this one that Iā€™ve shown (she doesnā€™t have too much personality yet, but she hates her other sister and loves videogames), an agender person with pink skin, white hair and white eyes (loves animals and is the total opposite of their mean twinsister - and yet theyā€™re still best friends somehow) and one pink boy with white eyes who just aged up into a child so I have no idea what heā€™s going to be like yet. I just remember he got the No Sense of Humor trait.
Can I have a wish though? If I send you one of these sims, would you please share with me the sim they end up with? I would love for them to get together in my game as well.
Side note, can you already tell my bpr is going to be a bigger mess than all my other legacies combined?

I was wondering how you first started your berry legacy? Did you make a new simblr for it? How did you first start posting and getting into a routine? I really want to make a legacy myself but i'm scared that it would look really mediocre and unorganized! Any tips on how to plan out the storyline and start posting? Thank you!! (asking this to a few different blogs so sorry if yo see this question somewhere else)
Iā€™m honestly super honored that youā€™re asking me! Iā€™m still a pretty small simblr compared to a lot of people.
Iā€™m going to put this under a cut, just so it doesnā€™t clutter up peopleā€™s dashes because I RAMBLE (like seriously, Iā€™m re-reading it all now and I go on and on and on)Ā but Iā€™m gonna cover everything you asked!
TL;DR:Ā get mildly inspired, get involved in the community and have fun with it!
Tumblr media
I cannot recommending creating a new blog enough. While itā€™s definitely easier to just create a sub-blog off your personal, youā€™ll have a harder go at keeping things separate once things take off. Plus then you probably wonā€™t have ALL your million tumblr things that youā€™re already following mixed in with your sim stuff, making things so much harder to follow.
Once you start your simblr (whether a sub-blog or whole new tumblr), TAG EVERYTHING. XKIT SAVES LIVES. Not really, but it will save you a lot of time once you install the Quick Tags and make tag bundles. Seriously.
At least once a day, aĀ ā€œreblog if youā€™re a maxis match simblrā€ thing comes across my dashā€“donā€™t be afraid to reblog those when youā€™re starting out. (Or the alpha equivalent if thatā€™s your thing).
Seriously, donā€™t be afraid to reach out to people and get involved. Ask for sim requests, reply to things, join a Discord serverā€“donā€™t be afraid to talk to people! Iā€™ve actually made a few good friends this time around. Itā€™s awesome.
Tumblr media
This is just one of the unfortunate realities about thingsā€“if your pictures look good, youā€™ll get noticed quicker and blah blah. You can get by on just writing, but itā€™s a lot harder. This is still tumblr. Itā€™s microblogging. LOOOOONG text posts (like this one lmao) are not what itā€™s geared towards.
Anyway. I play TS4 on Ultra, and that does a lot of work for me. Sometimes all you really need to do is sharpen and brighten things up. Reshade is another good alternative, if your computer can handle itā€“that takes a lot of the decision making out because it edits for you! I used to use PickyPikachuā€™s reshade presets. The downside is that itā€™s pretty resource heavy.
The basic point here is that having good lookinā€™ pictures goes a long way to making your stuff lookĀ ā€œnot mediocre.ā€
Also, and this is a side thingā€“find a good theme for your simblr, something that looks good for both text posts and pictures, probably something with either a sidebar or header (or both).
Tumblr media
This is the meat of the section and itā€™s all really Kit/Pastille-specific.
I started up the Pastel Pastilles because I saw Berryā€™s challengeā€“I had already read Splash of Color a long time ago, and had a (now obviously abandoned) TS3 rainbowcy. But TS4 was fun and ran like a beast and I liked berry sims, so I dove in. If you were to go back in my archives, though, youā€™d see that I started posting a TS3 LEPacy, and thatā€™s not even my first one.
Iā€™m not going to even talk about the Grims in this post, since theyā€™re really new. But theyā€™re a prime example of using community involvement to stay interested haha. Iā€™m very excited to play with Ruby and her future family because of all the nice sims people sent for her to eat alive become friends with.Ā 
Planning with the Pastilles
With the Pastilles, I honestly got a little tipsy one night and did my initial planning based around Halseyā€™s Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Likeā€¦ Not even gonna lie. That was honestly my starting point. You can almost see hints of this in some places. From there, I had certain scenes I wanted to hit.
Gen 1 - Luna -Ā ā€œHopelessā€; itā€™s about being in a shitty relationship and hoping that changes lmao (ā€œI hope hopeless changes over timeā€). Luna and Dianthus were meant to have a much more obviously toxic relationship but Luna ended up having four kids by her second pregnancy and I just couldnā€™t play and write that fast. However, I always knew that Lunaā€™s big moment would be telling Dianthus to get out.
Gen 2 - Verity Vine -Ā ā€œNow or Neverā€/ā€œ100 Lettersā€ - There are a couple things that have stayed consistent in this gen: Veri and her dreams, the peach spouseā€™s dad was gonna be a dick and they would be separated for years, and they were gonna hook back up at a wedding.Ā 
My very first concept was that Riesling was going to be a bit more wishy-washy and bend to his fatherā€™s will (henceĀ ā€œNow or Neverā€ being the song). By the middle of the generation, it was clear that Veri would become the distant one (ā€œhe said ā€˜please donā€™t go away,ā€™ I said ā€˜itā€™s too lateā€™ā€).
Part of writing a sims legacy sometimes isā€¦ letting the sims do the writing for you. Meri and Forest werenā€™t supposed to be the ones getting married (it was supposed to be Chai Tea and Black Cherry) and they definitely werenā€™t supposed to have the twins but honestly the story is better for it, you know? And obv most of Verilingā€™s story isnā€™t the way I initially planned.
All this said, once I knew where I wanted the story to go, I knew I wanted to plan around a few set-pieces: the fountain scene where Riesling trips onto Veri and she realizesĀ ā€œOH SHIT,ā€ the scene where Eiswein walks in, Punk!Veriā€™sĀ ā€œI donā€™t dream at all anymore,ā€ and Rieslingā€™sĀ ā€œHi, Iā€™m Riesling Puck, you might recognize me from your dreams.ā€ Those were all scenes I knew I HAD to get.
Gen 3 - ??? -Ā ā€œAngel on Fireā€ - itā€™s about anxiety lmao so I donā€™t mind linking it, itā€™s pretty obvious. Gen 3 has an anxious heir, a song about anxiety was on the nose.
I donā€™t really recommend the getting tipsy part, but definitely do recommend going in with a basic concept.
The cool thing about challenges is that you already have the guidelines as a starting point. One of my favorite parts about this challenge in particular is seeing how people re-interpret the rulesā€“for instance compare theĀ Gumdrops, Frosts, Amours, Pastilles, Fairyflosses, Prismsā€“we all started from the same basicĀ rulesĀ and thereā€™s still a lot of variation, especially once you get past the initial introductions.
Also, SERIOUSLY: donā€™t be afraid to take inspiration from crazy placesā€“a song you heard on the radio, a movie, your own life, whatever. Like, I decided Veriā€™s generation would have itā€™s first Act at Oxtail University because of the ā€œdream of ivy covered walls and smoky french cafesā€ line inĀ ā€œBeautifulā€ (from the Heathers musical). The song otherwise has VERY LITTLE to do with Gen 2. Itā€™s just that line became a starting point for me.
Keeping Things Lookinā€™ Snazzy with the Pastilles
Looking back, you can kind of see Gen 1 was a bit brighter and lighter/different in editing style than Gen 2. I purposefully set out to get aĀ ā€œdreamyā€ feel for Gen 2ā€²s pictures. It works for me and the Pastillesā€“it might not for your legacy! Play around with things to see what works.
Iā€™ve also noticed a lot of banners nowadays (they werenā€™t as big my first go around here on simblr, but theyā€™re everywhere now). I think that helps to keep things ā€œon brand,ā€ organized and consistent too. I personally donā€™t use a banner for the Pastillesā€“I didnā€™t start with one, and now it looks super wrong to me when I try to use oneā€¦.Ā So instead, Iā€™d recommend looking at @frost-rainbowcyā€“she is SUPER on-brand. I can only aspire to reach that level of #a e s t h e t i c.
HOWEVER, I do keep everything on my blog hyper-organizedā€“thereā€™s a main page where everythingā€™s pretty much linked, and the character page.Ā 
TBH, you donā€™t need to go that in-depth. I just like leaving weird easter eggs in places. You might too.
Posting Consistently
So, I started posting the Pastilles officially almost a week after I made the first post with Luna. Thatā€™s because I played a BUNCH right at the beginning, so Iā€™d have something consistent to post for a while. It wasnā€™t initially as story-heavy as it is now. Thatā€™s something you probably want to decide before you start posting.
Right now, Iā€™m posting inconsistently because Iā€™m trying to wait around for Cats and Dogs and not give into the temptation to give Veri and Ries the babies they keep wishing for, butā€¦.
Iā€™m in game almost every dayā€“I get off work most days between 2 and 4 now, so by 6 PM Iā€™ve eaten/showered/started up TS4. Even if itā€™s just to make a sim for someone.
I tend to do all my picture editing on Sundays, as itā€™s my day off. Sometimes it bleeds over into Monday, my other day off. I donā€™t always write posts up those days, but I at least stick them in the queue so theyā€™re THERE. For me, it helps giving myself that weird deadline lmao
As a result, I almost always have something queued up.
I utilize the queue like MAD. Right now itā€™s set at 6 posts a day between 3 PM and 12 AM EST, but I change it up depending on what I have going on and what I can crank out. Usually I leave it on 13 posts a day.
Basically, learn what works for you. It does take some trial and error, but youā€™ll get it eventually.
Now hereā€™s the real truth: you wonā€™t post consistently if you donā€™t love your game or your sims.
I love playing the Pastilles as much as I love writing them. To the point that I have them backed up in several places just in case. Iā€™m genuinely attached to the family, and that makes it worth it to me. Sometimes that doesnā€™t happen immediately (I love Luna, and Vino, and even Dianthus that shitbag, but you can tell that I got invested with Veri and Riesā€“Gen 1 is 30 pages long on my blog. Gen 2 is 92 and counting).
Storywise, I stay interested because I love the fluffy romance bits and snappy dialogue as much as the Drama Bombs, and also (spoilers) Iā€™m a sucker for supernatural stuff. So I tailored my legacy to fit that.
But when I donā€™t want to play sometimes I just go in game, grab a few pictures of them in CAS and redo the character page for the 25th time. And thatā€™s okay too. I just always try to make sure I have something to post, even if itā€™s a small (even if itā€™s just Rieslingā€™s face. Because I know thatā€™s what yā€™all want. Itā€™s cool. I get it).
I seriously rambled a lot, but I hope this helps!! Once you get started, please let me know too! Iā€™m rooting for you, non, and any nons to come after you.

Replies... all the way from a month ago. I know I havenā€™t been active lately, for some reason Iā€™ve got back into drawing and some other stuff that prevented me from playing sims (those who know please donā€™t expose me), but Iā€™ll try to post and catch up as often as I can. Also Iā€™m ill and certainly not anticipating going back to university because catching up with studies is going to kick my ass. Thankfully, after 3829138 years, I have finally stopped freaking out over my amount of saves and just decided to play what I want and how I want, without self-pressure that didnā€™t do me good. And thank you guys for accepting whatever I post, it really means the world to me! I never thoughtĀ the Satellites would receive such a warm welcome.
P.S. forgot to add, sorry if Iā€™m ignoring any tags! I honestly have lost count with what I did and what I didnā€™t do but I appreciate every single tag a lot.
