Sims Tag  

I was tagged by @esotheria-sims!

1. What’s your favourite sims death?

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever let a sim die 😆 Not only do I not actually play the game very often, I’m just too attached to my sims. But if I had to choose it’d be death by cowplant.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Alpha/semi-realistic till the day I die!

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

Nah, that’s unnecessary.

4. Do you use move objects?

ALWAYS.

5. Favorite mod?

@lamare-sims‘ Shiftable Everything! I love to decorate, and this was a TOTAL game-changer for me.

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

I bought The Sims 2 Deluxe in 2007. I still get confused with what came with the base game and what came with Nightlife because I’ve always had NL 😅

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

Like LIVing. I seem to be in the minority on this but whatever.

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

Laegrinna, of course! I’m sure everyone who follows me knows already but she’s the sim pictured in this post and in my avatar. She’s the protagonist of a game called Deception IV: Blood Ties.

9. Have you made a simself?

Yep, I do have one, you can see her in my 40th birthday post from last year. I gave her graying hair then to be more accurate. I did play as her a few times but it felt kind of weird so she just roams around my hood.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself?

I don’t use the traits mod but if I did, it’d probably be Absent-Minded, Perfectionist, Cat Person, Eccentric, and Socially Awkward.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?

I don’t use EA colors or textures, obviously, but I hate them all, especially the pee yellow blonde 😂

12. Favorite EA hair?

I don’t use EA hairs, but the only one I even remotely like is the Mansion & Garden dreads band hair. I might try to do something texture-wise with it at some point.

(Editing to say HOW THE SHIT DID I FORGET LAEGRINNA’S HAIR *facepalm* yeah it’s the Modern Bob from the EA store. As for hairs shipped with the game see above)

13. Favorite life stage?

I only play adults because I’m boring lol

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

I dunno, I spend way more time creating and taking pics than I do playing. I’m awful at building but I do enjoy it and like I said I love decorating.

15. Are you a CC creator?

Yep, have been for almost 8 years now! I’ve made a ridiculous amount of CC, mostly hairs but I think I enjoy retexturing clothing and objects a bit more. I’ve just started learning meshing and it’s opened up so many new possibilities for me. I have an endless list of future projects!

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

I have a few. I’m not popular in the community or anything and my social skills are lacking but I do like interacting with other simmers.

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

Sims 2 forever!

18. Do you have any sims merch?

Nope.

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?

No and I don’t think I’d be good at making videos in general.

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

It’s gotten much more eccentric and I’ve leaned harder into semi-realism despite most people playing Maxis Match the past 10+ years. I love goth/alternative CC and incorporated a lot more into my game when I created the Deception IV sims. It’s funny because it seems like people’s tastes get more mainstream as they age, but it’s exactly the opposite for me. I look at my old CC and the way I used to dress and make up my sims and think “wow was I boring back then.” The current aesthetic of my game more accurately reflects my personality.

21. What’s your Origin ID?

Bold of you to assume I use Origin 😂

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?

Too many to list here! I’m a CC hoarder.

23. How long have you had a simblr?

7 years, almost as long as I’ve been creating.

24. How do you edit your pictures?

I do minimal editing, partially because I’m not very good at it and also because with CC previews I want people to see exactly what they’re getting. I use Pooklet’s game lighting actions, I’m careful with how much light I use when taking the pics in-game because it’s easier to brighten a screenshot than fix an overexposed one (Laegrinna’s white hair is particularly prone to overexposure). I brighten the subjects of the picture a bit more and darken the background a little so they stand out. But that’s really it.

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

Well, we’re not getting anything else for TS2 anyway, and I don’t even know what else I’d want because there’s so many fun mods out there that add to the game.

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

That’s a tough one - I love playing witches (Laegrinna and her sister Velguirie are both evil witches) so Apartment Life is up there, but I also love playing businesses and having my sims go out on the town so I couldn’t imagine playing without OFB or Nightlife.

I’m going to tag @furbyq, @focalor-sims, @equinoxts2, @pooklet, @skulldilocks, @letomills, and @phoebe-twiddle!

December 15 - 2023 Friday

12:10am

This morning I cleaned my sink, bathroom shelf, and vacuumed. I made a sausage and cheese burger with rice. I cut an onion patty as thick as the sausage patty because thats what I was in the mood for. In stream I did some sketches and my friend got mad at me for using his idea with someone else. I honestly didn't understand what the big deal was and still don't, I think it's petty. It also made me realize that I have boundaries that need to be communicated and enforced. I simply don't wanna fuck around anymore. I'm still okay with my OC in things but I'm not interested in sharing a certain level of actual intimacy with certain people anymore and I think thats where this was coming from. I started the group commission today and got everyone sketched in. Already some people are nitpicky about it but nothing can be done about that. We started Ed Edd N Eddy since He Man is over. After stream I got to my workout. I watched XQC do GTA RP while I walked. Then I took my shower and started soup for lunch. While my soup simmered I asked mom to take me down to the store to pick up drinks for the weekend. We got back with 1 minute to spare on my simmering. It did boil over a little bit while I was gone but nothing major. Something about the soup didn't turn out great, it either had too many carrots or it was the addition of tomatoes. After lunch I tried to buckle down and draw for a bit. I worked on a mane 5 pic and almost finished it but not quite. After than I felt like I needed a break but also didn't wanna take one. I debated jerking off multiple times but never did. I think I just watched Twitch until I felt like working on my avatar for a bit. I finished retexturing the tail and tidying up most of the meshes and texture files. Daisy was out having dinner with her mom and sister tonight. I opened a drink and tried to hop into VRchat. I met up with Ford and his girlfriend for a tiny bit of world hopping. They were looking for an avatar for him. I also showed them the bathroom world and my room scan upon their request. I got off since Daisy was in bed. I played Neopets and finally found my way to the mine so I can get a meteor sword. After Daisy fell asleep I did some roaming in Neopets and tried a little Starfield. Right before bed I shamelessly looked up some VR cuck content and got off to it. I haven't been interested in anything else for a couple weeks and I think it's a manifestation of how unworthy I feel in general. Its been pretty strong lately.

Today I felt very unhopeful. I struggled to do my usual things because I didn't see the point. Arguing with my friend made me upset. I started feeling afraid that everything is falling apart. I worry deeply I'm just sabotaging everything and driving it into the ground. I did a poor job of distracting myself from these thoughts. They took over tonight.
