#I ordered waffles from the kids menu because I'm that kind of person

I have been to a restaurant that sells exclusively chilaquiles and that has all the walls covered with drawings from customers

Welcome!

Hello 👋🏻 welcome to my Sims 4 side-blog 😄

Mari Aurore is my self insert sim (and OC). She's mostly from FFXIV but I kind of insert her into every universe. She's currently married to my biggest anime crush 🫶🏻 Capt. Hitsu from Bleach ❄️💙

(-Shortening his name from canon so this long pinned post doesn't appear in search 😅. iykyk.)

As my favorite Marvel hero puts it (in the movies), "I love you in every universe."

I realize most people dislike seeing OC x Canon pairings, so I'm not expecting much, if anything.

However, I'm enjoying my time in Sims 4 and wanted to create this side-blog to share the craziness that sometimes happens, and maybe some builds that I create in my spare time 😊

Dividers are mine, created by me. Do not steal them.

Autonomy: High (I intervene moderately, but I let them do their own thing mostly)

Auto Age: Off

I will continue to update this list as I install mods, but at this current moment in time, these are the mods I am using.

Before I made this blog I was using different hairstyles for Mari. I cannot find the links to those mods (I'm usually good about bookmarking). If I find them again, I'll post them.

More About (Personality & Gameplay)

Mari (INFJ): Very cooking focused; she either already has it or she's gonna get it eventually. That includes all things gardening, seasonings and spices. However if I feel something is detrimental to the overall gameplay, I'll skip over it (for example, I've heard some awful things about the eco lifestyle DLC).

Hitsu (INTJ): Loves to Snowboard 🏂🏻

Both: Extremely Loyal 💞

Takashi: Still growing~ 🐤. Toddler: Calm & Inquisitive. Child: Whiz Kid, Genius.

Max: Automation 🐈

For now, they can mostly be found under my tags #Mari or #Teku in-game.

My #Mari tag finds them more than my #Teku one does (I don't know why 🤷🏻‍♀️).

My DLCs

The only reason I'm including this list here is for people who are legitimately curious of what I own 🤷🏻‍♀️

I try not to go crazy using DLCs when I make builds because I understand that some people are confined to the DLCs they own. Often I see builds that use 20 DLCs and it's like... you guys know that people don't have that many DLCs, right? Personally there are some I refuse to buy because I know there are mechanics in them that make gameplay awful or don't mesh with how I want to play.

Typically when I forego using a limited amount of DLCs it's because I'm making things for myself and then I decide to share it later. But if I'm originally making a build with the intent to share it- I limit myself.

Old posts that were created before unlocking this blog are going to be short and sweet. They were created for "story building" and "context". New Posts will have more 'rambling' or 'diary entries' in them (as I put it).
