[eboni-napalm]

I've been feeling really disconnected from a lot of my favorite fandoms and characters lately (again) and also have a really bad case of writer's block (again) so I'm pretty sure I'm in another big and long bout of depression. I've thought about getting into RP'ing for wrestling related stuff (with my own S/I or O/C) but I have no clue where I'd start and what to do/how to do it. Anyone have any starting advice or can point me in the right direction? (ie, Discord servers or other Tumblrs where I can start figuring this out?)

ULTIMATE REALISTIC Sims 3 Roleplay Guide | Transform Your Slice of Life Gameplay! | Part 1

What is up my little MooMoo's, welcome back to my channel! If you are new, thanks for dropping by.

So I promised you all a slice-of-life roleplay guide, and here it is! This might be the single most important guide for my ultra-realism roleplaying series in The Sims 3. Traditional roleplaying in this game is a bit tricky, so you’ve got to get creative. With mods, you can maximize your roleplaying efforts with little to no labor.

And whenever you look up how to roleplay in the sims 3, you'll find yourself quickly being redirected to challenges, except when you come across my input.

I have so much planned to show and teach you all in this guide. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, but I promise to make it simple and effortless. This guide is easy enough for beginners who’ve never roleplayed before, yet packed with fresh ideas and twists for veteran roleplayers.

I want you to think of roleplaying as a Sims 3 challenge, but not as strict or difficult. Everything I show you in this video are just suggestions, meant to inspire you and ignite your creativity. I want to excite you into playing this game differently and unlock the true potential of The Sims 3.

Unfortunately because there is so much ground to cover I am going to have to break this guide up into several parts.

There are in total 10 sections of this guide I want to be able to teach you, in today's guide we are going to be focusing on section 1: Basic Roleplaying: and things you need to understand about the game.

So, let's break down exactly what we're going to cover today:

Basic Roleplaying - Things you need to understand about the game.

Curating Your Sim's World - Setting the stage before you play them.

Personality Templates - Creating Sims you care about.

Style and Taste Bud Palettes - Refining your character's personality.

Hobbies and Routines - Enhancing your Sim's day-to-day lifestyle.

Vacations and Traveling - Adding excitement and variety.

Socializing Roleplay - Making your Sims’ interactions meaningful.

Mods for Day-to-Day Gameplay - Essential mods for realism.

Challenges and How to Transform Them - Keeping things interesting.

Storylines and Easy Ways to Put Them Together - Creating compelling narratives.

I care about your time, so we’re going to steamroll through all of these sections and videos together! Let’s dive right in and get started!

Basic Roleplaying

Remember when I said earlier that you need to have the right perspective to roleplay in this game? Most of you have been roleplaying to some extent even if you think you haven't.

Challenges are basically stricter roleplaying incentives. They give you a set of rules to follow in-game, where doing the opposite wouldn't make sense.

And this is the crux of roleplaying, essentially. It's about understanding the person you are playing as and what they would realistically do. It’s not just about completing goals, but about making choices that reflect your Sim’s personality, desires, and circumstances.

So, what exactly is roleplaying? At its core, roleplaying is acting out the life of a character you create. You’re not just controlling them like a puppet; you’re thinking and making decisions as if you are that character. It’s about stepping into their shoes and seeing the world through their eyes.

For example, if your Sim is an artist, you might decide that they spend their mornings painting in the park, meeting other creative Sims, and visiting art galleries for inspiration. On the other hand, if your Sim is a fitness enthusiast, they might start their day with a jog, followed by a healthy meal, and then head to the gym.

Roleplaying is about adding layers to your Sim's story. It's not just about what they do, but why they do it. Every decision should reflect their personality and circumstances. If your Sim is shy, they might struggle with social interactions, but if they’re outgoing, they’ll thrive at parties and gatherings.

This perspective transforms the game from a series of tasks into a rich, immersive experience. You're not just playing The Sims; you're living a story. And the best part? It’s your story, crafted by your imagination and choices.

What actions do you find yourself doing more than anything else in the game? What action is it that you focus on the most?

Skills. Jobs. School. And motive maintenance. These are the actions you find yourself doing the most in your gameplay instead of creating memories and developing your story.

What if I told you that skills, jobs, high school, and elementary school are actually not as important in the game as you think? There is nothing in the game that requires you to master a skill. So why are you maxing out their skills?

You don't always have to become the leader of the free world, especially if it's not even a lifetime wish for your Sim. The only thing you need to pass school is to not have a consistent F. Your children and teens were going to graduate regardless.

There are hundreds of mods dedicated to rebalancing The Sims 3 motive decay that would allow you more time in your day playing as your Sim instead of just feeding them.

When you change the way you think The Sims 3 was meant to be played, you begin to see just how much fun you could really be having in this game. I'm only saying this as the kid who stressed out about getting a B in-game, not getting that promotion by the end of the day, and freaking out every time my Sim's hunger bar got halfway full.

We should be having fun, relaxed, and enjoying our Sims' actual lives. Once you remove this stress from the equation, you're left with a bunch of freed-up open time in your Sims' day. And now, you have to fill it with creative roleplaying scenarios.

But don't worry, I've already got you covered on that in sections 5-10.

LifeSpans

If you already watched my lifespan and relativity guide, then you already saw me extensively go over this entire system. I realized very quickly how important a Sim's lifespan was to my roleplay. If the lifespan is too short, I don't have enough time in-game to care about my Sims, develop their stories, and complete pivotal moments in their character development. I used to turn their aging off, but in doing so, I missed out on the natural progressions of not just my active household but also everyone else.

A well-balanced lifespan is crucial for meaningful roleplay because it allows you to:

Build Deep Connections: With a longer lifespan, you have the time to truly get to know your Sims, form deep bonds, and invest in their personal stories. You'll witness them grow, change, and evolve over time, making their journeys feel more significant.

Develop Complex Storylines: Longer lifespans give you the freedom to create intricate story arcs. You can explore your Sims' lives in great detail, from their childhood dreams to their golden years, ensuring that no pivotal moment is rushed.

Experience Generational Play: Watching multiple generations of Sims grow up, interact, and leave their marks on the family legacy is one of the most rewarding aspects of the game. It brings a sense of continuity and history to your Sims' world.

Allow for Realistic Progression: A longer lifespan lets your Sims achieve their goals at a more natural pace. So that if the roleplay allows it, they can climb the career ladder, master skills, and pursue hobbies without the pressure of an imminent aging up.

Thank goodness I learned how to curate a mods list and create my own mods that addressed all of these issues. And thank goodness I shared it with all of you, so you don't have to do anything but install them and jump into the game.

Remember, a well-thought-out lifespan not only enhances your roleplaying experience but also enriches the entire game world, making every Sim's life story more impactful and memorable.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires are a great way to delve into the mind of your character, understand them inside and out, and effectively roleplay them in-game.

Think of this section as breathing life into your Sims' lungs. I personally find this portion to be fun while also gaining incredible insight into how my Sims think, act, and feel in-game.

This practice gives me so much confidence when roleplaying them. Without it, I find myself improvising without as much confidence, making certain interactions more awkward for me. I have to rewrite the interaction in my head, out of the game, to rectify it, when I could've just used this practice and character breakdown beforehand.

Why Use Questionnaires?

Character Depth: Questionnaires help you create multifaceted characters with rich backstories, motivations, and unique personalities. This depth makes your Sims feel more real and relatable.

Consistency in Roleplay: By understanding your Sims' traits, goals, and quirks, you can ensure consistent behavior and decision-making throughout their lives. This consistency enhances the realism and immersion of your gameplay.

Enhanced Storytelling: Detailed character profiles allow you to craft more compelling and believable stories. You'll have a clear sense of your Sims' desires and conflicts, making their journeys more engaging.

Improved Interaction: With a solid understanding of your Sims, you'll navigate social interactions more naturally. Knowing their preferences and relationships helps you respond authentically in various scenarios.

Reduced Improvisation Stress: Having a well-thought-out character profile minimizes the need for on-the-spot improvisation. You'll feel more prepared and confident, leading to smoother and more enjoyable gameplay.

How to Use the Questionnaires

Now, you don't always have to answer every question. You should aim to answer just enough questions in just enough categories to confidently roleplay your character in improv gameplay scenarios. Use the link below to the character question generator and begin breaking down your character. This practice not only enhances your roleplaying experience but also brings your Sims to life in ways you never imagined.

Remember, only answer enough questions where you get to know your sim inside and out. To enhance this further, consider their fashion style, and mini backstories behind their favorite food and color. Write this down somewhere where you keep a back up of your save file, so you can always reference it in the future if you get stuck on what they would do in a roleplay scenarios.

Link to Character Question Generator!

Conclusion

So here is where I feel is a good time to end the video, since I've given all of you a lot to think about. Let's quickly recap what we've covered so far:

Basic Roleplaying: We explored how to shift your perspective on gameplay, understanding that roleplaying involves making choices that align with your Sims' personalities and realistic behaviors.

LifeSpans: We discussed the importance of adjusting your Sims' lifespans to allow for more meaningful story development and character progression. I shared my mods and settings to make this process seamless.

Questionnaires: We delved into the practice of using questionnaires to breathe life into your Sims. This helps you understand your characters deeply, ensuring consistent and engaging roleplay.

Hi all! I managed to jinx myself by saying there wasn't a lot to add to the Compendium this week... and then I found a tonne of resources. I can't say I'm complaining about looking like a fool, though! 🪸

A lot of these resources were shamelessly sourced by xiv.sleepyshiba's masterlist! While I tend to endeavour to provide general / creative resources, their master list does contain a lot of discords / guides you can check out around raiding, combat guides, PVP etc. I might have missed. Send them a coffee if you want, for their kit is pretty comprehensive!

I have tried to include sources I can see have been actively maintained but I can't promise all are 100% accurate or up to date. If in doubt, send me a DM.

Additionally, due to the fact I am slowly increasing my collection, the Compendium has expanded its sections from four to five! We now have a dedicated lore section for anyone who wants to learn more about the game. 📖 I'm hoping this will encourage people to write and submit their lore compilations knowing that people will see them.

However, without further adieu, as of 05/11, the following resources have been added (in no particular order) to Sea's Community Compendium for XIV Creatives!

REMOVALS

The following communities have been removed from the Compendium as their sites/tumblrs no longer exist. If new links exist, please get in touch with me and I will re-add them.

The Glitter Hall

Story Hall

CHANGELOG

The Compendium has been updated for compatibility with Google Doc's built-in document outline! This should hopefully assist with accessibility issues. ✨ You can find it by clicking the button below on the left-hand side of the document. No one had made a comment about this, I'm just pedantic.

I have also added definition around the Lore category as well as some general sentence structure and definition in other sections.

Have I missed something? Probably, this update was huge. I'm going to take a break DFKGJHSDF.

Want to submit? You can either fill out the google form here, send me an ask with the relevant information contained on the Compendium, or join my Discord at SEAFLOOR (21+ only)!

Hello everyone and happy holidays,

I come here as both a Tumblr roleplayer but also as myself aka Random

Honorable mention to @ace-passive-aggression for getting me into getting Tumblr, I wouldn't have this account if they didn't make me get it. Love you ace <3

I started this account not really expecting to use it but since July I have been apart of the ever growing Fable smp community.

I started Fable smp late, while everyone was on s3 I had just started s1, Fable smp was the first thing I started my account on and I will not be stopping any time soon, I still have a huugggeeee list of the characters I want to draw and redraw as I definitely did Rae, Isla and enderian dirty before

Since then my style had expanded and I still need to learn how to colour in my pieces correctly ;-; but I'm learning as a somewhat beginner artist.

Since the end of summer the roleplay accounts started. I started the perix accounts because I saw a centross and enderian account needed one and I thought, 'well I do like roleplays' and joined in, it was soo late at night when I begun but it was possibly the best idea I've ever had, since then the roleplay accounts grew so much now I'm basically 2 oc's (not counting sirena I'll get into her in a second) all of the casus accounts, perix and now Alerion! (I have my work caught out for me 😮‍💨)

About sirena aka @sirena-of-the-sirens-call

Me and my friends have made an smp called Tehe smp, we haven't done much online, haven't used our rp accounts to the fullest yet but we're getting there, one day

I want to appreciate @deadlyxazul @thatbiblob @celestialstarzz and @villian-of-memories (sorry on the tag to the rp acc it's the only one that works 4 me ;-;)

@deadlyxazul , thank you so much for putting up with my silly little gay behavior and being silly and gay with me, we wouldn't have malena (mal x sirena) without you <3

@thatbiblob , thank you for making the server, and allowing someone you hardly knew (me) to be the first on your server, we would never have the thought of Tehe smp without you <3

@celestialstarzz , thank you for your silly characters and for agreeing to play sirena's betrothed pirate ex- and playing castor sirena wouldn't have an Athena arc without him <3

And finally @villian-of-memories (Vega ur account don't work for me :{) , thank you for agreeing to join Tehe smp (and giving sirena a father figure who isn't dead) even when we had just talked and hadn't really met you still agreed to join Tehe smp despite not knowing me outside of the discord server

I'm glad I didn't follow the 'don't talk to strangers' rule, I would have never made so many friends that way

[alkasden]

Respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

Roleplayer name: Nine

Roleplayer pronouns: She/Her

Muse name(s): Alkas & Imp Nine (TBA) / Rosie (In another blog)

▼ More under the cut cause this is a bit long.

Preferred communication: Tumblr. Unless we plot some stuff together and I’m comfortable with you then I’d move to discord but often I won’t initiate on friend requests cause I’m shy. You'll likely have to be the one to send it or bring it up.

Experience: Been on and off RPing since I was able to type on a PC, so a bit over 20+ years ranging from chatrooms to paragraph forums to MMOs to Discord to Tumblr and even some VR thrown in there. Though I’ve helped run a lot of writing groups, I led one for several years that I retired from which was aimed at helping newer RPers learn the ropes based out of an MMO. My reasoning for retiring was simply a lot of pressure as it was around 500+ members at the time and my interest in the MMO was dying out. Though I’ve recently returned to Tumblr, before the nsfw purge I ran fanfiction and headcanon blogs for various fandoms and some light RPing. So I have a lot of scattered experience in fandoms and OC works.

Preferred roleplay type: I’m very flexible honestly as I’ll mirror who I’m vibing with whether it be just dialogue back and forth or paragraphs or even novellas! I don’t mind mixing up genres either as they are welcome to respond to me at their preferred type even if I’m not matching though I’ll often try to match to not pressure them.

Pet peeves & dealbreakers: Honestly, after leading a group of teaching beginners in writing there is not a lot that bothers me. I think a pet peeve I could say that really irks me is metagaming in the sense of not letting me play my character at all and basically writing out all my character’s actions for me unless discussed upon ooc for that scene.

Deal breakers for me are pretty common ones found in roleplaying. I will not tolerate someone claiming exclusivity over me as an RP partner and not allowing me to RP with others. I also tend to play combative or villain characters so someone forcing me to change them just so they can interact is really not something I can do with the exception of censoring certain topics or content for the sake of ooc comfort!

Loose example: I will not make my character nicer just so you can bang them (this one comes from the experience of being asked this more than once in past experiences before Alkas). Gotta earn that development if you want it. Otherwise, I’m all for toxic dynamics and bad endings.~

Other than that, making sure there’s a clear line between IC and OOC is a must. I am not my character and I will dip into themes I do not always see as okay morally.

Best time to write: I work as a 24/7 in-home caregiver, so honestly anytime is good for me. I have to occasionally leave my PC unexpectedly as I’m always on call and I also am awake at odd hours that shift everyday, so I cannot predict a schedule.

Are you like your muse? Personality wise? Heck no, Alkas is almost my polar opposite which is partially the intention. She’s very rude and abrasive and combative to the point she’s unreasonable and aggressively insecure. I think I would cry if I ever acted like she does to another person.

Of course, there are some parts of myself I have in her personality like we’re both Aromantic (though she’s Hypersexual on top of that and I’m Asexual (sex-positive). We both tend to be really awkward when it comes to actual friendships and keeping up with them, too. I also did put her living life close to mine since it was a RL reference just to make it easier on myself in her birthplace and ethnicity. Though I don’t know a lot about motorcycles, I certainly am going to be getting one soon and of course, I love greasers.

Physical wise? I shamefully admit her human form (and body type) is greatly based on myself. You never see it though, so it’s fineee.

For my imp, she's the gremlin that lives in my head based on intrusive and impulsive thoughts. For Rosie, I just try to stick to canon, so kinda in the kind motherly vibe cause people sometimes say I'm like that I guess?

If someone told you being Peter Parker would be easier than being Spider-Man, somebody lied.

Hi. I'm Peter Parker, but you most likely know that already. I attend Empire State University, and study biochemistry and physics. My best friend's dad was a total psycho- I mean- Mr. Osborn did try to kill me- but when he had the chance, he just...didn't.

Fast forward two years later- I now work under Otto Octavius as his intern. You're probably wondering why, cause, yeah, he tried to kill me too when his inhibator chip fried and he went loco. But- once I pulled him from the pier- he was a totally different guy.

By the way they were looking at me- it seemed they were on a whole different planet. Or whole different universe! Hm, is there-

Nah- multiverse travel is a whole lot of hoopla.

Guess my Parker luck is good luck sometimes!

MUN:

((Hello! My name is Moon (she/her) I am a beginner role-play blog on here- I really want to try it so here i am! [Theres not alot of raimi peters on here anyway((T_T))]

I dont have any rp experience but i do write fanfictions [have been for about 10 years now ]so i have alot of writing experience!

Main account: @moonlightcrusader

Ao3(my work) - honeysucklesonata

Rules/Boundries:

NSFW dni please, i am not a fan of that genre haha. Other topics including sensative topics (gore, torture, etc i do not like either) im more a fluff, angst, found family & comedy type of gal. Oh- also hurt/comfort

How I write Raimi Peter/Peter 2:

Peter is a socially awkward(reserved) naive, kind, and clever young man. (As for post NWH, hes about maybe 40? I still write him this way, but of course a bit more mature)

When he's spider-man, i love to keep his quips campy as him and keep his childish flare. Peter in the Raimi-verse is overall a stubborn guy, he deflects when someone offers to help him. However, he's not afraid to cry in front of people he trusts)

I am mostly inspired by the novelizations by the way he's characterized- but of course i try to follow the way the movies depict him.

Peter's love interest is Mary Jane Watson- so sorry other peeps! (If you RP as MJ , you can't be a minor, sorry!

I should clarify that too. Mun is 18+!

Anyways- i can rp as Peter whether he's in his early 20s or post NWH (Just clarify because yeah 20 year difference is alot haha)

I'm looking for an Otto Octavius roleplayer out there for now- im such a huge octodad fan, i truly believe after NWH otto went back and became peters mentor... but thats just a headcanon :))

- sorry im still new to this so i will update this masterpost as i go. Big story, i prefer dms- if its a small thread i have my asks open!

Oh! You can also ask peter questions too :)

Oh yeah! I also dont mind peter #1 and 3's out there, peter #2 loves his little brothers from other dimensions :)) thanks!

I think thats it. Yup!

Beginner roleplayer looking for RP partner (OC RPs only)

Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth but Beth works too! I’m a 28 year old non binary female from the United States. I’m mostly new to RPs though I did dabble a bit in 2015-18 in script and headcannon style. I’d love to find at least one roleplay partner who’s interested in original character Roleplays. I’m open to just about any RP style, story settings and genres. And I have a preference for non binary, female and trans men RP partners but I’m not necessarily against anyone else. I’m against pro shipping and age play so none of that please!! Thank you so much for reading if you got this far! Below I’ll describe my main RP OC who I’d like to start an RP with.

Name: Daniel David Darcy

Nicknames: 3D and Danny

Species: Human or Ghost (depending on setting)

Age: (depends on setting) 15-30 yo

Gender: Cis Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Orientation: Gay

Likes: Swimming, Spicy Foods, Painting & Cats

Dislikes: Fighting (even though he always ends up in one), Loneliness, His Parents & Technology

Personality: Daniel is a deeply hurt soul who’s recently moved into a run down apartment on the outer skirts of the city. He has a difficult time keeping his mouth shut on anything he feels in unjust so he inevitably ends up in fights pretty often. He’s broken, but he refuses to let that stop him from his journey to some form of happiness. He just needs a little push from the right person to get going in that direction.
