#Inspiration active mod lol

[oshinsimblr]

hey friends! i was unable to post all of my early access content bc i'm sick. but i was able to post this video, which in my honest opinion are the major features in this 'romance' pack.

IS IT WORTH $40?

DEPENDS ON HOW BADLY YOU NEED THESE FEATURES TBH.

this review is brought to you by the ea creator network. all of my opinions are my own. i must disclose this per FTC guidelines #ad.

*i do not cover everything in the pack, only the things that stood out for me lol. i'm sorry i'm not used to doing full reviews up here

the attraction system is helpful and expands dating (which is great, but we've had mods that could do this for some time: pick your poison). the romantic satisfaction is the star here. i love being able to create one sided relationships and actually take care of our romantic relationships with sims. this is a valuable feature for me!

cupid's corner is a nice "hey i don't need this mod" anymore type of feature. prior to this i was using lumpinou's meet & mingle which allowed me to meet with sims (platonic and romantic). i dislike that you can not write custom bio's for your sims. i love the way the app functions, i love saving sims and adding them to our rel. panel - and getting to know them through the phone first. i wish we could've defined our sims favorite music/foods/color etc.

i'll admit it, i'm a sucker for dynamics. family dynamics from the sims 4 growing together are so good (minus the fact that everyone wants to be f*cking jokesters after one joke lol). but i love them! they really do impact my sims relationships. the different romance dynamics are interesting. for example: a strained romance dynamic makes it VERY hard for your sims to communicate. it's like your sims will randomly hug each other, but then 5 secs later they're upset. they want to love each other so badly but they can't lol.

now onto random things that excited me. you can go to cupid's couples counseling. i did not know we'd actually be able to answer questions. these sims had a strained romance dynamic and it was so bad - the therapist suggested we come back. but when i tried to schedule it again, they were booked and i had to wait to schedule another appt. which is great, because in the meantime your sims are going downhill fast and you have to keep the peace until then (if you choose).

there are new pop ups and invites. there's even one for a reality dating show lol. you can turn these off in game settings. (if you're wondering, mr. landgrabb never showed up at the motel he wanted to meet at. he stood my sim up. don't judge me, i thought there was simoleons involved).

new crafted dates are cool. you can choose whatever you want to do on them. there's new social interactions based on the activities you choose. you can also invite other sims to these (double dates woohoo!) you can also create crafted hangouts. i like these, i got this cute picture as a reward after a succesful crafted hangout. if you're familiar with mws weddings, it's the same idea. except this works well and isn't as glitchy lol..

another random feature i never needed, but now i find it useful. you can create your own relationship label that will appear in the rel. panel

it's unfair how gorgeous this world is... because there's nothing to do. this is all set dressing.

you can declare your love here.. at the wall of love.

you can buy flowers or edible sweet treats at this shop in the background.

you can get local food here. there are 3 new dishes and spicy hot chocolate. now, i'm not mexican (the world is inspired by mexico) BUT 3 new foods isn't cutting it for me. technically only 2, because one is a vegan option. no pozole, enchiladas, guacamole, tamales?? i'm a foodie, so i take full offense to that.

you can woohoo or sleep at the motel.

you can travel.

go fishing or enjoy a swim.

sit here and chat.

view this for a moodlet.

travel again.

check in a penthouse.

there's a nightclub, gym and lounge. but you get the idea.. there's nothing culturally unique about this world which makes me sad. no festivals? i'd love seeing a mariachi band play at the lounge. something. otherwise, keep the world and add more features right? i would've loved table proposals (sims 2 anyone?). or frisky couch makeouts. so many missed opportunities here.

there's more i could say but i feel like this post should be a little helpful in deciding wether this is a pack you need right now, or wait for a sale! i personally love having a complete colection, so i've always wanted every expansion. though i recieve the pack for free, i owe you my honesty and i want to start doing blog/written content because it's easier to process my thoughts through the excitment. i will enjoy this pack, i do like it, and only time will tell as i integrate it with my current gameplay. i hope this was helpful!

* if you remember, use my code OSHINSIMS at checkout if you decide to purchase this pack. that way, at least i get a % of your purchase and EA doesn't get all your coins 😉

thank you! just keeping simming, always stay wavy, peace x

HARE & HEDGEHOG GYM - MAXIS-MATCH CC BUILD

I always wanted to build a nice gym on Windenburg, but always felt underwhelmed by the lack of workout options in the game. However, after seeing this new CrossFit Set by @syboubou, inspiration hit me like a train! I made sure to include as many activities as possible! And of course, there's a Simsbucks Coffee Shop next to the gym for the after-workout section - because at this point, I'm filling the worlds with as much as I can of it, so it feels like a real franchise LOL.

HOW TO MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL:

If you want a more immersive experience with this lot, I highly suggest you to download LittleMsSam's Auto Employees Mod. With this mod, NPCs will automatically work at the lot, once you place the correct object for them to appear.

Make sure to read all the information available on the mods pages in order to make it work properly in your game!

[tulpagenic-culture-is]

Tulpa culture is...

hello, and welcome to this blog!

This is a culture is blog inspired by blogs like @fictive-culture and @pro-endo-culture-is , for tulpas specifically!

The blog says tulpagenic, but if you don't consider yourselves a tulpagenic system(or even a system for that matter), that's alright! This is mostly just a "created headmate culture is" blog but that's too much of a mouthful, lol. Willogenics, parogenics, etc, you are WELCOME HERE! Even if you don't like the term tulpa you're allowed here. tulpa-culture-is was already taken, but the blog isn't active last we checked.

How this works-

You'll send in an ask starting with "tulpa culture is" or something similar. It can be as broad or as specific as you want, as long as tulpas are somehow involved. You'll send in the ask and it'll be something relatable, like "tulpamancer culture is worrying that you're faking when you're parroting" or something.

Only thing we ask is that you don't send nsft asks because this is run by a minor! :)

[straycalamities]

how did you come up with making Entre? What inspired you?

the onceler LOL and homestuck

okay story time w chase ahem

so actually how i got into tumblr at all is very relevant to the chain of events that led to entre existing. so before here, i was mainly on a...particular art webbed site that was basically a sinking ship circa: 2010 so i forgot how i heard about tumblr? but i joined here at first just to do naruto comm rp. like my only account was a naruto rp account for the first... i dont remember how long

eventually i got curious enough to make a personal account and started being active on that. a bunch of my friendgroup from the other site moved with me and we were just hanging out being naruto nerds. at some point i got into homestuck/learned about the askblog format. i don't remember which came first, but i DID run kibanaru and flutterdash askblogs before the lorax was a blip on my radar

i remember when i was in the homestuck fandom, i was so used to the naruto fandom where like..sure it's huge but i had established myself in a corner of it and it felt very like... it was a community! and in the homestuck fandom i didn't feel like that at all. i felt swept out to sea and it was very lonely tbh aside from the friends id manage to drag with me into it, but i always felt a certain dissatisfaction from my time in it

a friend of mine was the one to show me the lorax and the once-ler. i don't...remember how THEY found him, but they were already very into him before they even came to me about him. and they basically nagged me into watching the movie LMFAO (this was when the movie was still freshly in theaters so all we had was shitty camrips and LiveStream was a thing) so i started to draw smexy onceler and oncest fanart to mess with them and...well y'know ye olde saying about doing things as a joke.

so yeah i kinda got...genuinely interested in him. especially after i watched the 72' short and reread the book and was like wait. this movie is mid as hell actually. (the siren song of mid media) and i was like "well if /i/ wrote the movie id do this n this n this n this" and then all that added up in my head and i was like wait.

what if i did a once-ler askblog where i just change certain things to what i like? it wasnt gonna be a complete revamp/remastering because i wanted to do a proper askblog so i wanted to have his character be recognizable to any fans of the onceler. and this was wayyyyy before anyone was getting the idea to do the very creative and expansive onceler takes we have these days as a norm. so it was kinda like? being shoehorned into being Canon!Once-ler because?? that's just how you did askblogs back then

BUT!! there were a few other askblogs already around back then (end of April 2012 for ref) so i didn't wanna do what everyone else was doing (very much Established Business Once-ler/Greed-ler, Vest-ler/Oncie, or Aftermath Once-ler) so i got the idea to do the onceler but! he's still very fresh and new to his business. still basically vest-ler/oncie in personality but with big things on the horizon.

i started creating his blog the weekend before may. that's why his birthday is May 1 because that's when i officially started his blog and posted his first post and all that. literally when he was born.

so yeah this was all to try and find my niche in a community again as well as do what i'd already been doing for years now: waving my headcanons in ppls faces via my art LMFAO

it was honestly pretty new for me in a bunch of ways so it was very scary. i even tried to keep it a total secret at first. i thought people wouldn't recognize me for my art style.... (yeah idk how i thought that'd work either) and i mean??? for the most part that was true because it's not like anyone in the once-ler fandom would've known me beforehand anyways

so for the first uhhh...idk it didn't last long tho..i was a secret mod, but i got too itchy about sharing art that i didn't wanna put on his blog so i broke that pretty quick. i had a lot of personal rules i put on myself on what to do/not to do on and with his blog. and i still, to this day, follow a handful of them. so when i drew other stuff that i didn't think fit on his blog, i was like well damn i wish i could show this somehow...

tho sometimes i wish i'd tried to keep up the secret mod shtick a little longer

anywho. from there it's kinda like..he really just grew on his own. new ideas, new inspiration, new experiences shaping this or that. now i can write him without touching him for years like i just picked him up yesterday. he's that wormed in my damn brain at this point. he's basically his own person sitting in my head telling me what to do with him/what he'd say

so yeah at first? it was just me trying to write a very accurate 2012 movie onceler with a few tweaks. and then he just grew organically into what he is now. that's still his root and so that's still the default direction i try to take, but he definitely has a lot of things that make him his own person at this point too. even on his main blog.

as for why he's so stupid goofy. well. that's because i like drawing dumb expressions. the end. and in the end i'm glad his main blog remained super unserious and lighthearted because it really helped me mentally a bunch (those random spikes in activity? yeah it was for my own mental health LMFAO he helps me...a lot...because of the escapism and comedy)

bonus: as for truffula flu entre. i don't remember if something in particular inspired me to make him the ender of the world. i just felt like it'd be a fitting story for the once-ler for him to be in that spot. and from there i just approached him how i thought someone like him would react were he to find himself in that position.

my goal was always to make him as human as possible. like he's technically the villain of this story, but he's also the protagonist. yaknow. so i wanted to really interweave those two ideas interestingly into his character (and now im obsessed w it)

originally i thought of truffula flu as everyone doing their own storylines. i didn't expect at all that everyone would adopt MINE as all of THEIR canons. that was LKFJSLDKF a big surprise for me i was like wait what. i guess it seems silly now in retrospect that i didn't expect that, but i was just like "well this is entre's story. ppl can do whatever else they want tho" but suddenly entre's story was everyone's story. and it's pretty cool i can't lie

Also, I wanna share that I'm doing this mostly for fundraising for the masters studies I wanna take late 2024, especially for the down payment that is due January. I was supposed to go this year, but because of financial difficulties, I deferred to next year. I really wanna earn enough money and prepare for this, as this has been my dream for a long time. I have no luck with finding a good-paying job for many months, so I thought of this venture. I love The Sims so much and I wanna work on something I'm passionate about and with something I'm knowledgeable and good at.

TentooRose month - 2nd week: Firsts

a/n: trying something new for me here, I had not written any of these bulletpoints fics before so here is my first try (on theme with the prompt lol), hope you enjoy

(you can see the Steam sale kinda inspired me)

there are so many firsts for this new new new (first of his kind) Doctor

everything is new, everything is human, he has so much to learn suddenly

first shave, first shopping for clothes, first job (at Torchwood)

and of course the firsts with Rose

first kiss, first hug, first time holding Rose’s hand

first adventure on Earth together

so many firsts and new things

but one of his favourite (and not that scary) firsts was discovering gaming

more specifically quiet nights at home with Rose, playing some game together

usually, with all the travels and adventures, he did not have time to sit down and do something for relaxation

so gaming was something new for him

and Rose was more than happy to indulge him and even join him in this newfound hobby

his first game was… Fortnite

Tony and his friends were crazy about it and so, one day at the Tyler mansion, the Doctor had found himself coerced into joining the little boy for a few matches

and ending up liking it - a lot

Rose had told him she’d join if he found a less stressful and fast-paced game

so with Tony’s help, the Doctor found Minecraft

mining, crafting, building, taking care of villagers - it was relaxing enough for Rose to join in

they got their own world to play on together with Tony popping in from time to time as a honorary player

(they definitely did not use one of Torchwood’s servers for hosting it, no no no)

(the Doctor’s tinkering with the settings and mods definitely did not make even it lag, with all its specs and power, noooo no)

Come on, Rose! How can such powerful machinery be stumped by one game?! (the game in question was trying to render a whole universe but eh, should be easy, right?)

after that came Stardew Valley, Terraria, even Animal Crossing - all the chill vibe games

then the Doctor wanted to explore some more adventurous pixel worlds

Life is Strange, Red Dead Redemption, The Witcher, Elden Ring

he played and commented on every little detail he saw, explained his plans and actions

and Rose just sat with a bowl of popcorn, head on his shoulder, watching him geek out, asking questions from time to time or giving him hints if he somehow got stuck (after a quick and secret google search)

eventually both her and Tony suggested that the Doctor should try streaming online - twitch of youtube, people were sure to geek out over little details with him

surprisingly, he declined

this hobby of his was now too intertwined with Rose and Tony, it was domestic and homey, it was a family activity - he couldn’t share it with strangers

and so, the Doctor discovered his first human hobby - quiet nights with Rose while farming pixelated food

or not so quiet nights with some pixelated adventures while Rose teased him for failing to aim

or loud weekends with Tony whenever Jackie and Pete had to be at some company event or just run away for a weekend vacation somewhere

that was not the most important or big first, but it was the most family one for the Doctor

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

The Doctor loved playing The Doctor - his favourite killer on Dead by Daylight

Rose always giggled whenever he chose him in the selection menu

surprisingly she didn't mind playing this one scary game with him, they partied up when playing as survivors

'it's just a game of tag' Rose said

until one of the sneaky killers surprised them

it was the Doctor that yelled out in surprise (and a little bit of fear)

[kestrelteens]

I was tagged by @brandinotbroke, thank you so much! ♥

1. What’s your favourite sims death? Hmmm, 99% of my sims die of old age, but the satellite one has stuck with me since the first time it ever happened to one of my sims I didn’t even know it was possible and I was shooketh.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match? Maxis match most def!

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? Omg no what?? I wish we had body diversity in Sims 2.

5. Favorite mod? Definitely ACR! I love it when my sims do what they think is right lol.

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Uni!

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? aLIVE since forever.

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? My model sim Anya.

9. Have you made a simself? Yes, back in elementary school, but it didn’t look anything like me, it was just kinda ‘me’ cause it had my name x)

10. What sim traits do you give yourself? Absent-minded, animal lover, green thumb, artistic and socially awkward.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? Blonde?

12. Favorite EA hair? That male one that Tiave Teens has!

13. Favorite life stage? Teen! I just love playing with them and getting to know them as they grow up and fall in love for the first time and all that adorable stuff. But also sneaking out, my fave!!

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? Both equally! I love building and I love playing and I try to balance those two constantly.

15. Are you a CC creator? As in CC converter, yes!

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? I do have a few folks I communicate with occasionally. I’m not very social on here, just like in real life. x)

17. What’s your favorite game? Sims 2 forever! I could never get into Sims 3 because of the aesthetic and Sims 4 is very boring to me.

18. Do you have any sims merch? No, but I really want it!

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims? No, I’m not really a fan of making videos and editing them.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? Only recently (about 2 years ago) I’ve started playing rotationally and that got me hooked, it’s sooo deep and so much fun! 

21. What’s your Origin ID? :(:

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator? All of them. I admire anyone who dedicates their time to create/do something nice for this game of ours and I love using everyone’s CC. Those people inspired me to learn how to convert myself!

23. How long have you had a simblr? 11 years! Yep. I was just never active, always lurking and downloading CC. For the longest time I believed I could never learn how to convert stuff because it was too complicated until one day I decided to give it a go and never give up learning and improving.

24. How do you edit your pictures? I explained that in full detail here & here. I also have to thank @microscotch for helping me out with Photoshop to make my screenshots perfect ♥

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? If expansion packs for Sims 2 were still a thing, I’d like an EP where you could become famous and live as a celebrity.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? Seasons always ♥

@microscotch @tvickiesims @jsasimmer @antisocialbunnysims @gaypleasantview @kayleigh-83 @neosimi @cozy-sims *I most definitely have forgotten people, please forgive me*

9 People I'd Like To Know Better

Tagged by: @iron-sparrow and @dragonsongmakhali

Tagging: The few people active in my orbit have seemingly all been tagged already...so do it if you want to and haven't, yet!

Last song: While it should be some classic crooner Christmas song...it's actually Doja's Paint the Town Red, because I finally have an ounce of inspiration and a moment's respite from being ill, and I'm working on something neat with XIV animation replacements and video editing. I've...had to hear this song on loop a lot, though, while figuring things out - and while I love it, it's about time to hop on that Spotify Christmas music playlist...

Favorite color: Technically, neon green (most shades of green tbh - I enjoy a nice, calming forest green, as well). But black and red are also favorites.

Last movie/TV show: Muppet Christmas Carol, because it's that time of year. (Next up is the movie that shaped my own preference for Christmas decorating: Rankin/Bass' Rudolph.)

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: No favorites, I like them all depending on my mood! I have a sweet tooth, but I also really like sweet + salty (catch me dipping salty fries into a frosty from Wendy's). I LIVE for spicy food...but beware...as you get older, your body hates spicy food and it will destroy parts of your insides you didn't know existed, so I've been suffering and learning the hard way lately how much spicy I can still have. Meaty/umami flavors are probably my least favorite - I actually dislike the texture/taste of red meat so much in general, I had to get iron supplements, lol.

Relationship status: Complicated to explain! I guess the best way to describe it is: I live with my queer platonic partner, whom I used to date/be romantic with. But...I'm the queer one, so...idk, I guess the term still applies!

Last thing I googled: I have no idea, most of my searches lately have been within various modding Discords. But my last online search was probably also in that same vein - looking for various XIV mods/animation mods, now that I've discovered those.

Current obsession: I've been far too ill of late to engage with much...uh, I got a bit obsessed with Adventure Time after finally watching all of it, and Fionna and Cake; I went hard on the Marceline merch. But I guess I'm also kinda obsessed with trying to find new hobbies, since there's been 0 interest in RP with my characters in a couple years now, and RP was my one big hobby for like...the last decade or more. Filling the time I would be RPing with is tough, when I don't know anyone local (and love tabletop and have a campaign world already made for Pathfinder...), and my health has bounced around, so I've gotten back into cross stitch (and I'm...trying needle-felting. It's...something.)

Teaser for [31 October 2023]

Mod's confession note: Due to some circumstance upcoming to me till the end of this year, I’m sadly to say that I might be less active in terms of interaction for a while (╥ ᴗ ╥) It's such a big regret that I haven't even progressed the stories of my team as far as I've planned either... Well, gotta apologize to miss some birthday events during the time out there too, I've got a little bit busy o(TヘTo) But at very least, I think I would do something for this fandom event (and also as the make-up to those divisions I've yet to interact with), so...

HIII THIS BLOG IS INDEFINITELY INACTIVE

So I've been really infrequent with posting stuff to this blog, and I never gave an explanation for why. I really should have made this post sooner, but for whatever reason I just didn't until i realized i had 54 FOLLOWERS (thx btw). Even if I only had one follower, though, I'd still owe everyone an explanation.

This blog has been really fun to make. Really, thank you all for the asks! But over the course of this account's runtime, I sort of realized something: I like drawing, but not that much lol. I also don't really like this AU too much tbh, so that probably factored into my distain for drawing for this blog after a while. Or I'm just lazy. Whatever the case, I kept getting burned out, which lead to my week long unannounced breaks.

The ask blog isn't exactly cancelled, per se. I still had some interesting stuff planned and I miiiight squeeze out an update or two every once in a while, but there's no consistent schedule. Basically, don't get your hopes up for this thing ever updating lol.

Once again, I sincerely thank everyone for the support I've gotten for this blog. It really means a lot to me that people would actively engage in such a silly little thing that I mostly made out of boredom. If anyone's interested, you can shoot me an ask about the stuff I had planned for this blog if it were to keep going (under a read more, of course, in case someone cares about spoilers for whatever reason lol)!

I'm not done in the TADC fandom yet, though. I started writing a fanfiction called "The Wondrous Digital Lab", which is sort of a lab au but honestly lab in the sense that Garten of Banban is a lab lmfao. If you want to see stuff about that, I'm posting it on my main account, @badgerotter. And if you want the fic link without digging through my account, here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55976389

Finally, I'd like to mention some other ask blogs that I like and would definitely recommend checking out!

@/ask-the-rag-dolly I have no idea how anyone would not know this one, but either way I should still give a great big thank you to this blog! ATRD inspired me to make my own ask blog in the first place and is honestly just a really good story in general! So thank you, Mod Bee, for creating something as awesome, special, and impactful as you have! I'll never get tired of seeing other people try to spawn in items like they do on your blog!

@/multi-kinger-mayhem This one is so silly! Basically a bunch of different Kingers from different universes meeting each other. I really like their interactions and I'm excited to see what's coming next!

@/ai-to-alive-tadc-au This one is about Gummigoo joining the circus instead of getting confetti'd! Ironically there's more Jax in it atm, but the premise is still super interesting and I can't wait to see what hijinks ensue with everyone's favorite gators!

@/tadc-lab-au This is actually the blog that inspired my own "lab" au! If you want an actual, more traditional lab au, then this is the blog for you! The ask box is closed at the moment, but they also have a fanfiction going on, so go check it out!

[hummerous]

hey man, i used to be pretty active in r/tumblr right around the time yall made the (correct) move to make r/curatedtumblr bc of a lack of mod response & people posting nasty stuff in r/tumblr

i wanted to let you know i got mad respect for you & the work all of you did there. it was a great community building effort. seeing r/curatedtumblr succeed has been such a pleasure! i'm sorry the fuckary with the reddit api is hitting everyone so hard.

hope you enjoy *this* site! i've found a lotta comfort in tumblr proper since i made the move here from reddit (~4 years) and i hope it brings you the same joy!

thank you ! I really appreciate it :D

I'm comfortable here now; I hope I'll see you around 💙

r/Curatedtumblr was (is?) an interesting experience ! we've been incredibly lucky to find the people who made up the community, and the work everyone put in has been ..at once absurd and inspiring lol

I had an easy niche to fill. Quick, easy and free. Little need for originality.

the API fuckery is infuriating, but the sub started as you implied: as this niche, silly little protest. having it end in a similar (albeit grander) gesture is comforting in a way.

the mods made the sub because they cared. we voted to end it (if temporarily) because we continue to care.

it's nice to think we managed to keep that alive these last few years.

it's been a pleasure 💛

[pastelbatfandoms]

Watching C's podcast on YouTube, if you are a shifter you know who she is. I really respect her because she doesn't just follow what everyone else is doing plus her SJ in her Hogwarts dr is insane!

It was Stranger Things late last year. It's still unfinished but I made it on google docs and I did post it on here. Besides my written one.

I think Hanna (the one who made this survey) says it best so I will link her TikTok on it! HahaShifts

I connect with my drs through Pinterest boards, FMVs, watching the shows, movies or reading the books, writing fanfic, music, Chat AI as well as Tarot readings & channeling, scripting.

I don't have one.

Asleep or 5 senses method

Birthdays, christmas or Yule, Anniversaries

I don't know yet. Only holidays I have memories of are with Bruce Wayne during Christmas and Valentines Day with Billy Hargrove.

Renee West Wells is a forensic Anthropologist & Journalist as well as makes the costumes for Team Flash and Team Arrow. Michelle Renee in my Fame drs is an Indie Singer, scriptwriter and has her own makeup brand. Lilianne is a SHIELD agent, Mandy Moorington works at Scoops Ahoy as well as a record store, Isabella in my OUAT dr works at the library and Mr Gold's' shop when he's away.

In my Marvel dr I like collecting things, as well as reading, hanging out and playing board games or drinking games with the team. Peter, Pietro and I also like playing video games together. Renee in my Flash dr prefers having sleepovers with Caitlin & Iris or cuddling and watching a movie or show with HR & Harry. Drawing new costume ideas. Michelle in my Fame dr would probably being hanging out with her Crue drinking, having sex ect...or writing a new script or song lyrics. Also hanging out and playing with her kids. If it was My Fame dr with Sebastian they'd probably either be doing some light D/S play or hanging out watching a movie or having him read to her. Mandy in my ST dr would be cuddling with Billy, Eddie or Chrissy. Writing, reading or dancing. Also her and Chrissy doing each others hair and makeup. Bella in my OUAT dr would mainly be reading or hanging out with Ruby at the diner or with her sister.

I travel back and forth between The Avengers universe and XMen universe alot so if you count that... Also go on missions with SHIELD. She doesn't have a set place but she likes Madripoor kind of and Budapest. Renee would want to go to Italy or France. I also want to visit Greece with Tommy Lee because that's where his family is from and Romania with Seb.

My Marvel dr is partly based on the comics. I do have a Shadow & Bone dr but it's unscripted and I haven't tried shifting there. There are moments in my ST dr that is based around 'Flight of Icarus' Eddie's book.

Of course my Marvel dr takes place in the MCU (except GOTG) My Gotham 89 dr is based on the older Batman movies and the new Flash movie. Motley Crue's life is still like the one portrayed in The Dirt (just including me, they also look like them when younger)

My relationship with Tommy is based Pam & Tommy's in the miniseries. Obviously The Flash dr is from the series as well as LOT. Same with most of the Marvel shows (Loki & Hawkeye especially) My Mod Gotham dr is inspired by The Gotham series, TWD series, OUAT and Wonderland, Stranger Things Series.

Yes I've posted about them but in My Marvel dr I am a Valkyrie in one and a Mutant or super in the other. As Lilianne I have control over both light and shadow, as well as healing abilities and the ability to phase through if someone attacks me. (I have to be actively trying though) In My Flash dr I am a Storm Goddess with control over lightning and the weather. I also have magic in OUAT taught to me by Rumple. Since I am the daughter of The Evil Queen.

I already have when I shifted to My ST dr and saw Billy. I posted it HERE.

They all have very different styles since I'm so eclectic in my cr lol Ok I picked a name randomly and got Renee. So for her I'd say basic, classy, rich looking when going out (she went on a date with Harry once dressed casual and felt so self conscious) or dressing up in what her men like. A bit edgier when she's Obsidian Storm. I have an outfit post HERE.

I only have the idea for my rooms in my ST dr and I know what the rooms in My Fame drs due to memories. My room with Tommy looks like in the series and My room with Seb is also in creams and whites with a raised floor where the bed is which was a canopy bed with white lace curtains.

Mandy's room looks similar to this on the opposite wall is a floor length mirror and pink dresser.

8. Okay I got Amara who is Loki's girl and a Valkyrie. So that Marvel dr as a whole...

9. oooh I got Carrie aka The Carrion Crow! I do have a playlist for that Gotham dr.

Bellyache- Billie Eilish

Badder-Emlyn

Pretty Little Psycho- Porcelain Black

I'm gonna show you crazy-Bebe Rexah

Vicious-Bohnes

10. Whiskey and Motor oil (grease) remind me of Merle Dixon. I've literally smelled popcorn while watching the episode of Pam & Tommy where they go to the Barbed Wire premiere. I do have ClairSalience. Billy Hargrove smells like alcohol at times but mainly cologne and mint when I channel him.

11. Yes but I will talk about them in a seperate post.

12. I have tons. I usually write them down and post them on here. I will be posting about my Fame drs soon.

13. I don't make scenarios unless it's to help with writing my fanfictions. (like filling in holes) I find that if you call them scenarios then that causes your subconscious to think that reality shifting isn't real so it's harder to shift. I also find scenarios to seem forced as opposed to an actual memory that comes out of nowhere.

Update

Hi! I was hesitant to make this post because people might not care, but I am really attached to this blog now so it would be a disservice to not make a small update and just vanish.

I am taking a small break from the sims and will be less active on tumblr, there's a few reasons but here's the debrief:

Work will be a bit hectic in the following weeks and I want to focus on it, we are on the planning phase of a new project (I'm a dev). SO MUCH of my CC and mods are broken, I tried keeping up with updates but it's become a second job lol, you guys might relate. At this point I need to do a CC refresh (delete a lot and basically start over) and I'm hating the idea so much that I need to postpone it. I really want to learn how to play Minecraft (I've never played survival) and a discord server I'm on has got a beautiful modded server so I'll be doing that for a bit lol What's gonna happen to Love x Hate x Aliens? A lot of the editing I like to do can be a bit much, so I want to take a break from that too. It won't be long, I just need a bit of time to decompress and find the time. I have a ton of screenshots that need editing so I will try to do them if I find the inspiration. I'm sorry for the long post, I just wanted to express I really love this community and I hope I'm not forgotten by my mutuals. If you'd like to see minecraft screenshots I'd love to share my progress under a tag, so let me know. I love u all and I hope to come back soon 💕

Sims Tag

Tagged by @ho3sferatu​! Thanks ^_^

Readmore’d cause it gets a bit long :P

1. What’s your favourite sims death?

Probably fright, cause the animation is so funny like they have time to pause and check their pulse before dropping dead

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

I can tell this is aimed at TS4 haha I had to google Alpha CC to check I knew what it meant - So semi-realistic? I mean obviously I lean towards Maxis Match, but if I like how something looks I’ll use it even if it’s not from the same style.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

No, that actually happened to Klothilde because she kept eating fish and it takes so long for them to eat fish that she got fat after eating it once lol - But TS2 fat meshes aren’t even really fat, so it doesn’t make much difference to me heh

4. Do you use move objects?

Only for placing deco things, cause I don’t want to end up placing a chair or something that’s actually inaccessible and not find out until after I’ve built everything else around where I placed it

5. Favorite mod?

No Red Pause Lines, cause it’s 500x more annoying if I have to crop that out every time I take a screenshot

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?

University, I pretty much got all the TS2 stuff as it came out heh

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?

aLIVE, but I think about it more like how a TV show says “We’re live” or something since that’s where the game actually progresses in time

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

Cirrus! There’s some close seconds, but Cirrus actually has history in my game versus just being a face I liked, and the way her parents’ genetics created the little side smirk she has that I don’t think I could recreate in CAS

9. Have you made a simself?

I did when I was 13 - I was exactly at that age where child sims felt too young to represent myself, but teen sims felt too old. I went with a child sim just for the proportions lol but yeah that was the last time I was interested in making a simself.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself?

Well to keep it TS2 themed, I think it’d be something like this:

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?

Um black? That’s always the default color I pick when doing any sort of dress up game

12. Favorite EA hair?

fhairshorttuckin:

It’s the only hair I’ve never fully replaced with a default, I just do a texture default

13. Favorite life stage?

Adult I guess, they just have the most stuff available to do

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

Both, I like building but I like to play the lots I build. And when I’m playing, I think of what kind of builds would be fun to play, and so the gameplay also inspires my building.

15. Are you a CC creator?

Kind of? I’ve made clothing recolors, makeup, hair recolors, etc. but I haven’t done anything besides sharing lots/sims in a while.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?

Not particularly, I have mutuals that I always like seeing on my dash/activity but I’m not the most talkative person on tumblr lol

17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)

2 of course ^_^

18. Do you have any sims merch?

No? lol

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?

Technically yeah, it’s my “personal” YT account but 90% of my videos are of The Sims.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I used to do more semi-realistic CC, just based on what I’d accumulated and liked the look of at the time. I still have a lot of that CC in my Downloads, I just don’t use it as often anymore as more recently downloaded Maxis match stuff.

21. What’s your Origin ID?

idk, I think I have one but I’ve never shared anything for TS4 so it’s kinda useless lol

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?

Ooh that’s a tough one, @platinumaspiration​ comes to mind cause I really love how bright/colorful a lot of their CC is and I like a lot of the clothing/hair styles :)

23. How long have you had a simblr?

2012.............. lol

Here is the 1st post I ever made on here, it’s for TS3 and has way more straightness than my game has had in years lmao

24. How do you edit your pictures?

I explained it here sort of a few years ago, but I have a newer version of Photoscape and I don’t have access to Photoshop anymore. I still do the highlight/shadow tweaking stuff, but I use Photoscape to do that now.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?

Well obviously that’s not a question for TS2 lol but something that both TS3 and TS4 have that would’ve been cool in TS2 is careers that you can actually play/interact with instead of the sim disappearing for 8 hours.

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?

Nightlife, I love everything about the themes/aesthetic/gameplay, it has objects/features I use more than any other EP to this day, it’s just exactly my style.

Tagging: @krabbysims​​ @potentialfate-sims​​ @aondaneedles​​ @simmer-until-tender​​! Feel free to ignore if you’ve done it already haha

Meet the Mods!

What username(s) and platform(s) can folx find you on? (Please include links!)

Hi, folx! I'm Lillie Bell. I can be found on AO3, and all my shenanigans happen on tumblr @lilliebellfanfics

(Fun Fact) What is your favorite kind of potato?

Waffle House hashbrowns -- smothered, covered, and capped

How long have you been creating works in fandom spaces? How long have you been active in the SM fandom?

I'm one of the OG crew from when the internet was young (lol). I wrote SM fanfiction as a teenager during the era of Alicia Blade, ASMR, etc., I had a short stint in as the writing mod in the SML LJ community, and have recently returned to writing fanfiction, mostly smut, after a long hiatus. I also write for Seven Deadly Sins when I'm not completely lost in SM.

What type(s) of creative works do you usually make? (fanfics, digital art, cosplay)

I cannot draw to save my life or take a good picture, so I am solidly a writer only. I am super impressed by folx who can work in multiple mediums. Words are hard enough, so that's what I stick too :D

What do you enjoy about creating for the SM fandom?

I love the joy & support the community has for each other as well as the diversity of ships and people in the fandom. For the characters, there are so many facets to play with and explore that I never feel like I'm done telling their stories. There are so many more situations to put these babies in!

Are you strictly UsaMamo or do you create for other pairings as well?

I write more UsaMamo than any other pairing, but ReiNako are my grumpy x sunshine queens and I love them. I've also delved into writing KunZoi recently and love their dynamic as well. I'm very much ship and let ship, so I enjoy reading pretty much any ship, but I can only write a pairing/poly that I feel I have a good grasp on. Hence, usually UsaMamo, ReiNako, and sometimes KunZoi.

What inspires you to create works for Usagi and Mamoru?

All the feels (lol). I have specific facets of their personalities or backgrounds that I love to explore. I love to mess with Mamoru the Orphan and how that shapes his decisions & personality (good and bad), and how he evolves with that background over time. I love happy-go-lucky Usagi who is just out in a world being herself, falling through life and living it to the fullest, but also has these big responsibilities and rises to every call.

Do you tend to work on multiple projects (WIPs) simultaneously or try to finish one at a time?

I have multiple WIPs right now, but I tend to be very focused on one at a time (for better or worse). I don't like leaving things not done, so multiple WIPs starts to grate on me to just get it done.

Do you prefer large projects (chaptered fics, webtoons/zines, highly detailed art) or small projects (one-shots or simple art)?

I like one shots / smaller fics where I can hint at how we got here or how the future might look after, but the focus is one small moment between the characters. That said, I currently have two long fics I'm working on... because reasons. XD

Are there any common themes, situations, tropes, or mediums in your work?

I write fairly broadly between dark, smut, and some fluff. There's usually a comedic edge, so it's not 24/7 serious (I'm not that person if you noticed ;D ). My favorite tropes are forbidden love/romance and the banter of grumpy x sunshine. There are definite themes but they may not always come through. For Mamoru, I like to put him in situations he isn't prepared for and help him make bad decisions. I really enjoy playing with his connection to Earth / Elysion and his strong sense of loyalty/duty to Usagi, as well as his shitennou. For Usagi, I think her friends treat her too delicately and, even though she's a bit silly or not totally organized, she will show up for her friends or the world when it's in trouble. I like to play in that space where she is unexpectedly mature b/c Usagi is a quintessential example of a person who doesn't have her shit together, she's not perfect & that's okay, and she can save the world just as she is. MF QUEEN.

I bring these elements into my other pairings--they are pretty common dynamics. KunZoi and ReiNako are facets of grumpy x sunshine and love vs duty/honor. So, I do like to push the characters into uncomfortable territory and then see how they respond. Rei always raises to the bait. Kunzite will crumble... eventually (if mechanical bulls are involved).

Is there anything you haven’t explored artistically and would like to try?

I've done a little bit of everything in my tenure in the fandom, but I think I'd like to produce a few more chaptered works, but not excessively long (6 chaps vs 20). I seem to be strong in either the one shot category or long fic category, but not in between. So that's something I'd very much like to work on for my own sanity.
