#favorite 23 sims screenshots of 2023

[azuhrasims]

My 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟐𝟑 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 from 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

I was given this bit of weekend homework by @shoobysims to pick out 23 screenshots from the Sims this year and post them. Picking favorites is hard. Not picking all builds is harder. Also, I had to butcher a few old posts to get these.

My top 23, in no particular order:

I'll tag a few folks to try this as well. No obligation! @changingplumbob @marcishaun @satureja13 @akitasimblr

My Top 23 Screenshots from 2023🎉

Thanks @biffybobs and @cowplant-snacks for the tag, loves!

This was so much harder than I imagined—and I didn't go in thinking it was going to be easy! How do you even define "top" screenshots?

Something I noticed on my first pass was that I was gravitating to a lot of posed shots, as they seem to tell a story better in a single image than you can with live gameplay. (Lots of favorite moments passed over because the action or reaction is spread over multiple images.) However as I pared down, they became the easiest to let go of. Easier than multiple scenics and tablescapes and other questionable "top" entries. In the end, it became about juxtaposition and joy.

Scrolling through a year's worth of posts on what turns out to be simblr gratitude day (?) has me feeling all kinds of mushy, so I'd just like to say I'm so grateful you're here. For anyone who bothered reading this, anyone who cares even a teeny tiny bit about my humble little Rebuild A City sims. Even if you've never left a comment, or read without liking a single post, or don't read at all but are unbothered enough to stick around following me for the 3 whole builds I manage to post per year... 😁 I'm grateful you're here and that I get to share my silly little post-apocalyptic world with you.

And, hey, one year in, now that we've set the pace... Here's to getting through years 3 and 4 (and hopefully more!) in 2024.

I'm forever opting to tag no one at all but this was nice so for once I'll tag lots of folks this time @myverycoolnickname @cantseemtohide @irrewilderer @panicsimss @saartje77 @oatberrytea @trash-llama @littlefallsnook @mysimsloveaffair @gladlypants @homewardial @memoirsofasim @thebramblewood @moonwoodhollow @introvertedfox @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants @devotedsims @lilacacia (that is, if you haven't already! I did my best to check, but I'm a bit behind the times getting to this!)

Top 23 Screenshots for 2023

Tagged by @nitrozem💜 Thank you! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)

I put most of them under a cut because, even though I don't mind it on my dash, idk if everyone feels the same about long posts.

tagging a few lovelies: @kissalopa @keoni-chan @introvertedfox @damseljamsel @illuminated-foxx @memoirsofasim

Feel free to do it if you want to! (��꒳​˙ ) (If I'm not the first person to tag you all, sorry! My memory on a good day isn't great. (￣▽￣ )ゞ )

1. The loneliest bus stop that I learned from posting this is actually functional!

2. Recreation of one of my very first sims made with the CAS demo; Agent Pierce Connery.

3. Amantius and Hugo on their first vacation trip. Hugo was so thin then compared to now, I forgot. lol

4. Fifi and Priscilla, my Growing Together save while I waited for mod updates. I miss them but they've had some of the cutest kids in my current save.

5. When Amantius set the shower on fire when he tried to magic clean it and all the cats came in to panic in circles around his feet.

6. BABY FERN!

7. Toddler Fern trying to talk to newborn Juniper.

8. Where's the (roast) beef?! (I still think about this and it still bothers me.)

9. Matching buddies!

10. I still don't know how her blow out got both of them.

11. Love Day!

12. When a glitch helped give the best angle for Queen Fern.

13. The baby who didn't want to be held for anything.

14. DANCE PARTY!

15. I did a meme too.

16. 🐸ding ding🐸

17. When they thought it was a good idea to duel.

18. YAMACHAN! (also Rosen is so smol. 🥺)

19. When I was ready to watch Amantius burn to death just to see if he or the chair was on fire.

20. I was just happy with how this turned out. I went through a lot of anguish before I learned how to use wickedwhims to position teen and adult sims with poses.

21. Rosen might be my favorite. (But Juniper is still a strong contestant.)

22. Waffle's face.

23. Their autonomous flirts/kisses melt my heart.🥹

My 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟐𝟑 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 from 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑🎉

So, @surely-sims had this great idea to try and narrow down a year of screenshots to 23 for 2023. And so to keep myself sane cause I could have included builds, and other gameplay nonsense. I kept it to my legacy only of some of my favorite shots. Whether they were big moments, or even the final shot that made it to the actual story, here's some of my favorite pictures. Starting off strong with Ani (gen 1) being drunk, and topless, and I still don't know why. She just was.

Thanks for everything this year, guys. It's been a really great one. Tagging to keep the ball rolling: @obigem @ice-creamforbreakfast @tiptoesims Use #my23in2023 for ANNE <3 to creep on all of us. Also, if you're not tagged... join anyways. Let's celebrate all the hard work we put into something for no reason other than it brings us joy.

A Sims Year in Review: 2023

So I've seen other blogs posting their top screenshots for the year of 2023, and normally they do 23 of their favorites but I'm going to do all my favorite screenshots...mostly cause my blog is still new and I don't have a lot of screenshots I really like XD
