#i just wish i could have a hobby in sharing my cute sims and talking about their lore instead of constantly seeing my activity filled with

[jellypawss]

ugh this might be a shitty opinion but i kinda dislike when people just come to my blog to hunt for cc, they reblog it but dont like it and then never interact with my blog again unless it's for only cc. like i wanna put my cute gameplay out but it gets 8 notes and then my cc gets 200+ notes idk it kinda makes it hard to enjoy posting my sims when clearly the people just want cc lol.

idk i've always been this way about content creation and stuff

this is most definitely a shit take sorry my brains weird

[mha-adore]

hey! ty sm for doing the matchup exchange with me, i look forward to writing your match! i’m rita and i go by she/her pronouns. i have a preference for men & i’m 16. my quirk would be similar to shinso & inumaki from jjk,, i can control ppl and animals just by saying a command,,, an indicator for when i’m using my quirk would be my eyes changing color & a side effect to using my quirk would be getting light headed.

i’m a libra sun, aquarius moon, & leo rising. a slytherin & intj-t. i’m v polite and reserved when you first meet me. i’m pretty introverted and i have anxiety. it takes me while to open up since it takes me a while to trust ppl. i do tend to get annoyed and angry by others easily,, i’m a bit of a hot head. i’m pretty chill and like joking around once i open up,, i can also be kinda dumb. i’m a bit of a loner and i don’t have many friends. i’m actually a bit of an emotional person but only when it comes to shows, movies, books, etc,, i tend to keep my emotions bottled up. i’m self conscious and self critical. i care a lot about having perfect grades and getting into a good university but i’m so lazy (lots of breaks & procrastination) at the same time,, i end up getting everything done on time though. i’m impatient when it comes to my own things so i like doing things my way bc i feel more comfortable that way. i also like keeping things neat. i’ve also been told i have a resting sad face & that i’m intimidating. i wear a lot of black and i’d describe my style as dark academia mixed with 70s-90s fashion. when i’m at home i just wear comfortable clothing like pajama pants and a t-shirt.

my likes/hobbies/interests are baking, playing the sims, writing, and playing board games with ppl i’m close to. i also like relaxing in bed and spending time with people i’m close to and having fun. i’m interested in psychology, true crime, & history. i don’t like arrogant & closed minded people. i look for a partner who is loyal, kind, & open-minded. my love languages are gifts and quality time (both ways).

i hope this isn’t too much,, ty again! <3

Hey friend, it's my pleasure! Thanks sm for offering 💖

Can I just say super quick that your quirk is really cool? You could command an army of bears, raccoons or fire ants. I would be terrified. Also I'm an Aquarius moon and INTJ too, air moons gotta stay together. I totally got a Libra vibe off you when you first messaged me and you're super sweet 🎀 also I totally get you on the anxiety part, I have anxiety too. I know how terrifying it can be to reach out to new people so please know I'm proud of you for taking the chance to reach out to me 😊 and it's never too much; the more detail the better!

I match you with Shoto!

Say hi to the walking AC and heater unit. A couple reasons I picked him is because you mentioned having anxiety and being hot headed. With his father being, well, himself and his mother being the anxious person she is, Shoto understands both sides of the coin very well and knows how to deal with both parts. He can balance being calm and stern at the same time and he has the patience of a saint. He would give you the time and space you need to grow comfortable around new people and surroundings, as well he would be able to keep you grounded when your temper gets the best of you. He mellows you out. My personal headcanon is that he's a Capricorn sun, Scorpio moon, Virgo rising, Ravenclaw and INFP.

He returns your jokes with dry humor. He can keep a dead serious face while making the stupidest jokes too. He could look you dead in the eye, face straight, and rip a monster fart and not giggle just to see your reaction. Honestly the image of him holding eye contact while aggressively farting is funny in my head. I know I have the humor of a 9 year old.

He isn't bothered by you not having many friends. He's a private person and doesn't want a lot of people up in his business. He prefers few close friends over many distant friends. He knows you aren't stupid and pays no attention to anything you say that may sound dumb. He's heard so much dumb shit he learned to filter it from his brain.

He understands that you're closed off on your emotions. He really can't blame you, he's quite the same. If you get a little teary eyed over a book or movie he'll let you talk it out and cry if you'd like, but he won't push you to be uncomfortably open to him. He values your happiness over his own and doesn't mind you keeping your feelings to yourself. He respects your privacy. Regardless of what you may feel conscious or critical of about yourself he's there to remind you that you're perfect. You're healthy, you're strong and you're doing the best you can. No one could ask any more from you. He's lived a majority of his life feeling outcasted and ignored because of his scar and wouldn't wish the same on anyone, so if there's any part of you that you feel bad about he's always reminding you that you have no imperfections, everything about you makes you one of a kind. You're irreplicable.

He isn't worried about you procrastinating on studying or homework. As long as you get it done and do well enough he isn't concerned. If you ever have difficulty with a subject he's happy to help you study and learn. If you want he can ask Momo to join for a study party if you want the extra help or company. He just wants to see you succeed and get into the college of your cotton candy dreams. Oh and don't worry about your tuition, he has it covered. Don't even mention it to him it'll already be paid off, including books and living arrangements. He only wants you to pay him back by doing your best in school and showing him you can handle the hard work.

He always has a suggestion on ways you can do things but he knows you prefer to do them by yourself, so he'll neber bombard you with his ideas. If you ask for his input he has plenty to give but otherwise he gives you the room to make your own moves. He's a neat freak himself and is always happy to help you keep your room clean and well put together. He has good room decor ideas too if you want to spruce up your room.

He really doesn't see you as intimidating. He sees a confident, independent and strong young woman who can hold her own. He occasionally wonders if you're really sad or if that's just your expression and he'll occasionally ask. He's only making sure you're okay. If you're sad he's on it with a cute or funny movie, some snacks, a shoulder to cry on and a whole night's worth of stuff to talk about.

He likes your sense of fashion, he enjoys darker and warmer colors. He lives for the 80s aesthetic and loves to see you mix the two so effortlessly. He can, wants to and will give you his t shirts to wear at home. He'll also loan you hoodies and sweaters. He won't outright buy you a hoodie, he'll buy one for himself and let you get away with stealing it from him.

He's so soft for home made cookies and would love for you to make him some. Home made dinners are also great. He would love to help you bake and would enjoy baking dates. He'll also watch shows like Hell's Kitchen with you. He isn't exactly a huge gamer but he likes simulation games and RPGs like Sims, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Harvest Moon etc. He'll binge these games with you all day and night. Your Sims have to get married to each other it's the law. He enjoys reading what you write - what you don't mind sharing of course. He won't go peeking in your personal writing, he knows it isn't his place. Concerning what you do share he'll read it with great interest and share his thoughts and any ideas he has. He would really enjoy writing something with you, like a short story or a comic. He loves how you convey your writing and would be honored to take part in it. His favorite board game is Candy Land, a close second being Monopoly, followed by Scrabble. He pulls out a big ass dictionary during Scrabble just to prove to people that he knows his vocabulary. He loves you dearly but all bets are off during Monopoly, it's a dog eat dog world and he isn't bailing you out of jail. He will, however, offer you real money in turn for properties in the game. No that isn't cheating the rules say nothing about it. He has no problem with a lazy day in bed though and wouldn't mind just dozing or watching shows together. Any time spent with you is time spent well. You two could watch paint dry together and he would have a blast. He'll buy the paint.

With his personal involvment in hero work he has lots of info on true crime cases and can share stories and books with you. He has everything from small robberies to Ted Bundy and beyond. If you have a question about a true crime case he has an answer. As for psychology I imagine he would study it himself, perhaps as a secondary career or freelance hobby. He'll examine characters from books and movies with you and run his own behavioral analysis unit from his bedroom. The FBI doesn't hold a candle to him. He can, will and already has tracked down your enemies and he has their addresses. With his father being the new number one hero he essentially has the force of the law in his hands and if need be, he will use it. He won't do anything unjust unless your safety is in jeopardy but he won't hesitate to bring someone down. As for history he has plenty of books ranging from founding of countries to wars, to major technological advancements to the invention of toilet paper. He knows some very niche history facts. If you need to impress a teacher with knowledge on history he has you covered. He'll make the teacher quit their job in shame.

Shoto is absolutely loyal to the end, open minded and kind to a fault. He understands how it's like to be ignored, misunderstood and bullied and he won't treat anyone else that way. Regardless of his opinion on someone he still gives them respect and kindness. He doesn't care how rude or petty someone acts, they're still a human and deserve to be treated as such.

He goes out of his way to buy you special gifts, he values personal meaning over monetary value. Between a basic cheap necklace and an expensive bracelet of your favorite gemstone and color, you bet he's going for the bracelet. The cost isn't important to him, he just wants to see your face light up when you open the gift. As for gifts from you he doesn't care about how much you spent, he just wants something from the heart. You could give him an origami swan that cost you nothing to make and he would treasure it like a rare antique. As for quality time, he always enjoys a good movie, board game, cuddle session or just a nap. Like I mentioned before, any time spent together is time spent well.

I hope you enjoyed this friend!! 🥀 I'll be sending my part your way soon, thanks again for the offer! I had a lot of fun with this one 😘

[maxismatchccworld]

Hey you lovely Simmers! It is time for our new Spotlight of the Month. Please give a warm welcome to MLys aka @mlyssimblr​. 😊

Hello!

I’m MLys, I’m a 27 years old French simmer and I’ve been sharing maxis match custom content for The Sims 4 for three years.

I’ve discovered the game with The Sims 1 back when I was 9 and I immediately fell in love. I still remember when I’ve unwrapped the base game and Vacation EP at Christmas! Thereafter, I’ve been a huge Sims 2 player (gameplay wise it’s still my favorite of the franchise), skipped The Sims 3, and out of curiosity and nostalgia, came back to the game with The Sims 4 without a lot of expectations. I just wanted to play time to time in my corner, mostly as a builder, and didn’t have any intention to start a blog and create CC.

The need of creating my own custom content quickly came up because I felt frustrated to not find the items I needed to design my builds the way I imagined them. I already downloaded CC as a kid, and was sooo obsessed about it back then! I ingeniously wished I could be able to do the same and run my own sims download website, but it wasn’t easy to find proper tutorials in French (and I most likely wasn’t mature and skilled enough ahah) so I had no idea how all those things worked. I just accepted that it was some computer magic. Several years and more experience later, that sweet memory contributed to make me want to give it a try and take my revenge!

Into the Simverse!

Pic: Exhibition set (Part 1)

My Exhibition set, specially made for the museum I was building, was the first CC I completed and shared on my blog. The set was very simple, but it was already foreshadowing what I would particularly love to do ever since: trying to expand the lore of the Simverse! As it can be deduced from this set, I was very inspired by the creative @femmeonamission’s Great Art Serie and the principle of only using resources from the game. Simlish fonts weren’t enough, I wanted to embrace the fact that the Sims live in a similar but alternative world to ours, with its own peculiarities and silly historical background.

Pic: Sim’Pop culture Tucked-in Tee

I’ve started to become a build mode catalog and Sims Wiki nerd, trying to collect Sim cultural references from all the games and brainstorm head canons that I could exploit for my builds backstories and CC design. I just need a consistent universe!!

I loved to imagine swatches for my tucked tee, which illustrates that approach pretty well. The TS4 concept artists have created so many cute and creative little gems in the game that need a second life, like the base game paintings and the movies from the Movie Hangout SP.

An other example is of course my baby Pufferhead Stuff, that was initially supposed to be a tiny set inspired by a base game poster, but that ended up being a liiiiittle bit more ambitious, whoops. I spent an outrageous time working on all the details I could think about to make the pack cohesive and refer to Harry Potter without losing the maxis match spirit. I am so so touched when I see simmers considering some elements from Pufferhead as canon in their game! During the process, I genuinely thought that I spent a useless time on things that most simmers would barely pay attention to, such as the Harnock sorting test, so it was really rewarding to discover that people actually appreciated the effort!

(If you like Simverse headcanon CC, my simblr crush @bottsbotts​ had also made a very creative set inspired by base game posters!)

Pic: Pufferhead Stuff Pack

We do love collaborations

The second part of the Exhibition set that I’ve made with @aroundthesims has a very special spot in my heart. I’ve been a big fan of Sandy’s work since day 1, and downloaded everything she did. When I’ve started to share CC, I needed to fangirl in her DM to tell her how she inspired me. It must sound silly, but when she proposed to collaborate, I felt so crazy happy and proud! If mini-MLys playing sims in her bedroom full of dolphin and HP posters had heard about that, her brain would have been like “Can’t… compute…”

Pic: Exhibition set (Part 2) / Screenshot features items by Sandy and me

I can’t introduce myself either without talking about my friends from The @Plumbobteasociety!  They’re the first friends I’ve ever made online and I love them (I’ve even met some irl!). Working on Cottage Garden Stuff with them was a blast. There was a real team spirit and it definitely made me progress. Never I would have been able to work by myself on Pufferhead without the Cottage Garden experience and without their support!

Pic: Cottage Garden Stuff pack / Screenshot features items by @magnolianfarewell @femmeonamissionsims @teanmoon @nolan-sims @litttlecakes @simlaughlove and me

There is something very fulfilling in collaborating with someone that got skills that you don’t have, and managing together to create something cool. I had that feeling with those projects, but also with the talented @illogicalsims who accepted to make the render of Pufferhead. It really was out of my current ability and his final render is fully part of the identity of the pack and I’m sure contributed to valorize it, so I can’t thank him enough for that!

Other stuff

“Sorry, I’ve been quite absent recently…”

I update my simblr very irregularly, and my content can be quite random. To be honest I don’t feel like I have produced that much? I really wish I did! I have so much ideas condemned to stay in my notebook forever… RIP. Here are my favorite editing and building projects:

31 years of Simblreen (2017)

The Windenburg Old Town Square

Forever grateful…

…Like for real. I don’t try to be mushy or something. That simblr really helped me at times when I needed it. I definitely have a creative profile, but without a specific goal in mind, I tend to want to do and learn so much things at the same time, that I end up feeling overwhelmed and uninspired, and don’t practice anything. And then I feel frustrated and can’t manage to have a consistent hobby. When I started the blog, I totally underestimated all the various skills it would actually make me work on: 3d modeling, texturing, editing, illustration, storytelling, my English… and even video editing for the Pufferhead trailer! I admit that I haven’t talked about that blog to a lot of my irl friends, because I’m afraid they wouldn’t understand that it’s not “unworthy”. And well, I myself also devalue a lot what I produce in general. I’m working on feeling more confident and share with them all the good memories and touching moments I have from my simming experience! All the adorable support I’ve received here through those last 3 years really really helped for that, and I can’t express how much it means to me <3

Thank you Kerstin for the Spotlight (and aw sorry for the delay) ! Especially for the month of my birthday, such a cute coincidence :)

Thanks for reading, have a great week, and happy simming everyone!

[vs-redemption]

(1/2)🥝 hi! could i get a haikyuu matchup with a male character please? thank you! im 5’5”, have long dark brown hair, brown eyes, wear glasses, she/her, pisces, slytherin, infj. i play the piano, do contemporary dance, and love reading and playing sims/stardew valley. im super shy around people i dont know and it takes me a while to warm up to new people, but when im with my friends i can be pretty loud.

This is my first match-up! Thank you 🥝 anon!! Doing match-ups is more stressful than I imagined. I was so worried about picking someone you didn’t like! I did my best though, so I hope you like the results.

Find out how to request a match-up HERE

YOUR MATCH IS: Daichi Sawamura!

 Why Daichi?

Unlike a lot of the other Haikyuu guys, Daichi wouldn’t be in your face with energetic excitement over meeting you, which I think would suit your personality type pretty well. He would be able to see right away if you were feeling shy or uncomfortable and give you your space. He’s also patient enough to let you open up to him at your own pace. Once you trust him enough to really be yourself around him, he’s going to cherish those moments so much. He’ll probably feel like he can relax more around you as well.

Slytherins tend to be ambitious and INFJs live by their own personal set of values which can make them intimidating and sometimes difficult to get to know. I think Daichi is secure enough in himself that he’d be able to hold his own and not be overshadowed by these types of traits. He’d also be very understanding and respectful of your opinions and feelings. If you’re ever feeling extra emotional though, he will always be there to support you. You never have to worry about being vulnerable around him. He’ll always be there to give and receive your hugs.

Daichi is VERY passionate and serious about volleyball, so he’ll be very happy that you don’t mind listening to him rant and rave about his games and practices. Don’t be surprised if he asks for your advice about how to handle any drama that might show up between his teammates. He’ll also want to know all about your hobbies, so don’t be afraid to ramble about your dancing or piano. If you ever have recitals or concerts, he’s always going to be there to show his support.

SHORT STORY

The first time you sort of talked to Daichi was in front of a vending machine in front of the recreation center in your town. He was a member of the local community volleyball team, so he often went there for practices. You occasionally visited the building as well to work on your dances. It wasn’t your favorite place to go because of how crowded and busy it could be, but it was one of the only places near your house with practice spaces equipped with wall length mirrors that helped you perfect certain moves and techniques.

“Hello,” Daichi greets you as you walk up. He puts his coins into the machine and selects a bottle of green tea. “It’s so humid today.” He grabs his drink and moves out of the way for you. You just hum in response while choosing a drink quickly.

“I wish they’d invest in some air conditioning,” he tries to make conversation while using the towel around his neck to wipe some sweat from his face. “Those box fans are just not cutting it.”

“Yeah,” you mumble in agreement before rushing back to your practice room with your drink in hand, leaving Daichi wondering if he’d said or did something weird to freak you out. He had seen you around before, but you were always alone, so maybe you just preferred to keep to yourself. He didn’t think much more about it until the first time he saw you dance. For someone who seemed so quiet and shy, it was a shock for him to see you expressing yourself in such an unguarded way. He found himself wanting to get to know more about that side of you. Plus, he thought you looked really cute after practicing with your long hair tied up to keep it out of the way.

The next time he got the chance to talk to you, he asked about your dancing. He wanted to know why you’d chosen the contemporary style, and if you had any special warm ups or exercises you had to do to. He also told you about some of the aches and pains he got related to volleyball, wondering if you had any suggestions for stretches he could do or any other advice.

You were really quiet at first, but Daichi didn’t seem to mind. Whenever it looked like you were getting uncomfortable, he would excuse himself to give you some space. It made him happy though whenever you hung around for a few minutes to listen to him ramble about an upcoming match with a neighboring town’s volleyball team.

One day, after getting out of practice, you noticed it was raining really hard and that Daichi didn’t seem to have an umbrella. You hesitated for a moment before deciding you didn’t mind helping him out. He was relieved when you offered to walk with him to the train station so that you could share an umbrella. After that, it became routine for you two to walk to the train station together. Conversation between you both got a little easier from then on, and you found yourself sharing ideas or opinions you normally kept to yourself. When Daichi finally worked up the courage to ask you on a date, you found yourself happily accepting.

10 Questions

Finally tackling my notifications lol...

I was tagged by @frostbitepandaaaaa and @danystormbornsnow, so that makes for 20 questions.

1. are you trying to learn or practice a new or old skill right now during quarantine? if so, what?

Not really, no. I’m still trying to write but that’s hardly new. I was also considering starting to draw again, we’ll see how that goes.

2. what album or artist has been on regular rotation for you?

I have listened to a lot of things, but most of all TR/ST, Mount Sims and Nicholas Jaar.

3. what TV show has helped you the most through this time so far?

Brooklyn 99.

4. how are you keeping in touch with loved ones?

Phone calls with my family and chat with my friends.

5. any cool and tasty recipes you’ve tried out that you could share?

Mhh, again, it’s mostly recipes that I already did from time to time, although I have perfectioned my pancake technique during the quarantine.

6. what book have you been reading during this time?

SO. MANY. FANFICTIONS.

7. are there any projects that you’ve been putting off that you can start on and even complete now?

It’s past midnight already so I’m probably just procrastinating sleep lol.

8. what is your favorite quarantine outfit?

I have a pajama combo I’m really liking, with a olive green plain shirt and black-and-white patterned trousers.

9. any good podcasts you’ve been listening to?

Nope.

10. what do you miss most about your ‘normal’ life?

Going to take a long, quiet walk in the woods. 

11. What was the first tv series you really obsessed over, and what drew you into it?

If we talk about the first ever, it was definitely Kommissar Rex. I was seven and obsessed with dogs, and I just loved that German Shepherd SO. MUCH. 

12. What activity/hobby are you most passionate about and why?

I truly found my passion in writing. There is just something so powerful in bringing stories to life, in finding just the right combinations of words to express a subtle emotion or a complex vision. Trying to, at least. 😂

13. What love story (from a film, show, book, etc) first made you believe true love could actually exist, if any?

I’m not sure if there is a specific one that comes to mind, to be honest. One of the very first examples I can remember is one of my favourite childhood books, Ella Enchanted (which somehow became The Fairy’s Gift in the Italian version, but I digress). That book has a very good take on love, and really hit me as a child. 

14. What’s your go-to food item when you’ve gotta cook/make something for a pot-luck?

Stir-fry rice with whatever I can scavange in the fridge. Or a classic pasta, even better if it’s a carbonara. You can’t go wrong with carbonara.

15. Surprise! The stork left you a set of twins on your doorstep. You don’t have to be their parent, but you do have to name them! What do you name them? (gender is your choice).

Oh, fuck. 😂 I guess female names come easier to me, and they would be Diana and Arianna.

16. You need a roommate. If you could pick any fictional character to be your new roommate, who would it be?

MISSANDEI OF NAATH, HANDS DOWN.

17. Which cliche fanfic plotline do you wish you could live out in real life?

I mean, I’m usually into romance plots and have no interest into giving up my current established relationship, so that takes a bunch of “meet-cute” cliches out of the table, lol. 

18. You get to date any celebrity. Who do you choose and why? (Don’t worry, they’re into you too!)

Let’s be basic but honest here, I’d bone the hell out of Kit Harington. I’m not entirely sure if I would actually date him, though. Difficult to say without knowing him, right?

19. If you’re only remembered for one thing, what would you want that one thing to be?

I would want for it to be my kindness.

20. You’re in the Olympics! What Winter sport are you in? What Summer sport?

Me? Sports? Sure you jest, my friend.

KNITTING GAMEPLAY QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY!@SimGuruConor

Q1: Crosspack is a must! I would like to see more TRADITIONS added so we get more use out of the Holiday Calendar system. Every pack comes with a new action, therefore a new tradition. Also, maybe knitting can calm a sim down when they are mad or stressed.  Also, sims who have the creative trait may do knitting to combat boredom. We should be able to give the items as gifts and see the sim have a mood about the item received based on the relationship they have with the sim giving the gift as well as with the quality of the gift. With every positive in the game there should be a negative, therefore if a sim has the snob trait and receives this type of gift they will have a negative reaction versus a  family oriented sim would have a positive reaction. (Yes please add the animations so we see the reactions not just a moodlet please.) Edit: Could you also add Knitting to the Trending list for the vlogs sims make using the Drone and The More Views Video Station using the.

Q2: Sorry, I'm distracted by the comment "We can't guarantee unique animations for crocheting."  **insert side eye expression** More is always better, I suppose is my response.

Q3: This one was hard to answer because I don't want to limit the game (it's so limited already compared to its predecessor). I feel more animations are needed to make this game more immersive. That being said, I think it would be nice to be able to craft many different things in many different ways. Like, I don't think a sim should have to have a rocking chair to craft a scarf. They should be able to sit in any chair and craft a scarf, maybe even be able to craft while sitting on the couch while watching tv. We lack in animations and adding that capability to the bed would be nice too. Would love an animation like you show in your post's gif, where a sim could sit in bed and knit while watching tv. Relaxation increases, knitting skill increases, and whatever the sim is watching on tv might be causing an increase like cooking channel does. I also wanna mention that the sims can multitask in TS4. It's what the game promised so it would be nice if a sim can chat while knitting. Maybe even add this to the lounge chair so a sim can lounge, knit and chat at the same time out by the pool on the weekend.  OMG this makes me think that adding a new tea set or tea animation would be great for this pack too! Sitting around gossiping and sipping tea while knitting!  A girl can dream ;)

Q4: I totally agree with this. Maybe also this brings up skill level. Some items should be too difficult for a beginner to do. Therefore some items will be unlocked as you skill up. I think the trait system being updated at this time would be great. Based on a sims traits might give a boost or make it harder for a sim to excel at this skill. Maybe a new trait like patient and impatient would be nice to add to the game. If you are patient you skill up faster allowing you to unlock harder projects and make better quality items that others appreciate more, while an impatient sim will grow bored and or angry the longer they are working on a project and would need to take many breaks causing them to take longer to excel at the skill and also craft at a lesser quality because they rushed it. LOL  

Q5: I'm looking at you funny for a reason. LOL  I don't knit, but it's my understanding that it's a way to relax...I think you should pull up a seat son.

Q6: OMG This one gets me excited! So much potential here for some great and some funny animations. I would refer you back to my Q4 response regarding adding a patient trait. I would love to see a sim throw the half knit scarf on the floor because they got so frustrated from messing up. ROFLOL  This is a real life response for some. But it would be great to see some major relationship gain going on here for the grandparent who's mentoring their family member. So cute to become best friends due to this common hobby/interest. **cough TS2 cough**  (Please dear lord go and play that game and incorporate more into TS4 ie: Hobby/Interest system).

Q7:  

Q8: Lots of humor opportunity here! I would love animations added with the sim reaching over his shoulder trying to scratch his back. Maybe breaking out in a rash from wearing it. A rash the game actually shows on the face and neck not just a moodlet. I think it was a scene in the show "The Big Bang Theory," where Leonard breaks out after wearing an itchy sweater that Sheldon forces him to wear to prove a point. It was hilarious!  More ideas: I would laugh if a sim gave you the "Talk to the hand" if you didn't like their gift. ROFLOL. But if a sim is sensitive it would be cool if they cried because you didn't like it. I think when you give a gift of a cas item the sim should auto wear the item when they receive the gift box, like they auto put on a shirt when they purchase swag at the festivals. After putting the item on they show their reaction to it. They can walk around for an hour like the teens when they are having a mood, head thrown back sulking. LOL And they can strike a pose modelling it if they actually like the item. These responses would effect the sims relationships too. If they like the gift the relationship goes up, if they don't like it the relationship goes down. A different animation for the reactions based on a sims traits. If you are a mean sim, you might fight the sim for responding negatively to the gift. ROFLOL  Autonomously of course. HILARIOUS. Maybe they even get wishes to be mean because the gift was not appreciated. HAhahaha  I can't stop laughing.

Q9:

Q10: OMG I'm so happy you asked this! And can you please remove the autonomy of the fishing skill please, I'm begging. Okay. Trying to pick my words so that you truly understand what I'm gonna say...PLEASE GO PLAY TS2. LOL  TS2 handled autonomy so well, but I think it was because the game was just built deeper than TS4. You see, TS2 uses a "INTEREST" system. If this was incorporated into the TS4 then sims with similar interest would trigger certain autonomous things to occur. This is why the game needs to have systems working underneath it's pretty exterior for it to feel more immersive. The short answer is NOT EVERY SIM IS INTERESTED IN FISHING and therefore should not suddenly learn the skill from a sim who is. The same goes for the knitting skill. This is why the interest system is so needed and also why more traits are needed for the game. It would be sensible for a sim who "Loves the outdoors" to be interested in fishing and therefore pick up a skill point when discussing the topic with a like-minded sim. What I'm saying is, if a sim shares an interest it is more likely that they would share tips on the topic of interest and therefore increase the skill a little bit from conversing about it. It is not sensible that a sim who has no interest in the topic, or who has traits that would counter doing said action, this sim would not autonomously discuss the topic with another sim. Example: My sim has the squeamish trait and therefore it's hard to understand why the game keeps autonomously adding information about fishing to this sims notebook. She can't even fish without getting upset and quitting even when I try to force her to do the action! So the idea that this sim would retain any information about fishing is questionable. AGAIN I beg you EA please stop this. And it's funny that that's the only skill my sims have thrust onto them. I LOVE AUTONOMY. I think it makes the sims feel more ALIVE. But the game needs to be updated so that it's not only going to happen but that it's logical where it does.  I think that a grandparent autonomously offering to teach a family member is great and should be added to the game, BUT how the sim reacts and if they retain the skill should be based on the sims traits/interest. One grandchild may love the interaction and gain the skill, while another grandchild may be turned off by it and reject the bonding experience, this causing the child with like interest to interact with the grandparent more, increasing their relationship and their skill. Don't forget to add that animation of boredom or frustration from one (child/teen/adult) and the opposite animation from a sim who shares the interest and would appreciate the interaction!  

I hope I helped. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my ideas I've wanted implemented into the game for so long. Good luck and thank you.

It’s been like what, three weeks? Yeah. I wasn’t really in the mood for doing this.  Tired, stressed out, sad, lonely...senior year is a blast for sure :D 11/10 would recommend.

Speaking of loneliness...I’ve recently mentioned it a lot but I’ll just say it again. Lately I feel so alone and sort of disconnected from everyone here, I don’t know why. I’ll admit one thing - I guess I’m even kind of jealous, I see all those simblr friendships and then look at myself and wow. I don’t really talk to anyone, do I. A few people from time to time. I mean, I’m a dumbass, so I’m not really surprised but...anyway. Please continue commenting, keep sending your reactions, asks, anything, you’ll make my day. Also, ships. I want to have ships with other people but I’m too afraid to ask. If you want to ship your sim with my sim, you’ll have to take the first step because I’m an anxious dumbass :D

On another (much better) note, I’ve finished working on the first arc of Regan’s storyline. I don’t know when you’ll see it since the queue is so slow (I might speed it up in a month or so), but yeah. I’m there and ooh boy. Stuff is happening. You might hate me for what I did. But maybe not. Just saying. I kinda want to scream about it already.

TL;DR: I’m an anxious dumbass who loves comments and wants to make some friends. The first arc of Regan’s storyline is finished.

melien replied to your photoset “~ Song-Rose, Kayla”

She's adorable!

I was so happy when I posted this because damn, I love her so much. I wish I could give her a story, but that’s impossible because I already have a lot on my plate. Like I always say (well, like I’ve been saying since the quads), never do big generations. I guess I would enjoy seeing her in someone else’s game though. Someone’s heir’s spouse or something. Hmmm. 🤔

tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photo “™¦ T E C H N O ♦ M A G I C ♦”

It looks cool! ❤️

I've actually spent years trying to get which is my favorite fairy only to realize it's always been Bloom�� I can't even say why

And the first 4 seasons definitely were the best - the villains and stories were cooler and stuff and I remember how thrilled I was to watch the fairies' Entchantix (was it called so? ) transformation for the first time

alfalfalegacy replied to your photo “™¦ T E C H N O ♦ M A G I C ♦”

a winx club ref??? on my dash???

I used to be all over this show as a kid

I think we only ever got like the first two or three seasons cause they stopped showing it after a while.

Flora was always my favourite growing up. Feelings are more neutral nowadays.

melien replied to your photo “™¦ T E C H N O ♦ M A G I C ♦”

High five, she was my favourite too ✋

create-a-sim replied to your photo “™¦ T E C H N O ♦ M A G I C ♦”

I loved it too, though my parents didn't have the channel that it aired on and I only could watch it at my friend's house :(

Guys you have no idea how much I love these reactions because when I was growing up, people made fun of me for loving this show. I was scared it would backfire here as well. And it didn’t, yay! :D

I used to love Bloom when I was little. Then in middle school, Tecna became my favourite. I could somehow relate to her, I don’t know. She was kinda different and weird, I’m kinda weird too, I felt like they often overlook and ignore her, same here, she was into computers, I was into computers, etc. I even wanted to have her original haircut because I loved her so much :D You know, the one from season 1-4, the one so similar to that Fitness SP hair (which I used here).

As for seasons, my favourite was definitely season 4, I looooved the idea of Earth fairies, not to mention the villains were so cool too. Same with Valtor in season 3. Damn. I’m not thirsty for cartoon villains, I swear. But like if they were real people, they’d look so good. After season 4, things went super downhill, but I was still watching it because I had hope it could get better again. Nope. It didn’t. Still, it can’t take the good memories of the first four seasons away.

Man, I could ramble about this forever :D

I love working on sibling relationships in my legacies so much. In fact, often times they’re even more fun than working on romantic relationships with their spouses :D

moonbobs replied to your post “post nsb”

Post what you want! This is a hobby not a job. I can't with these types of asks smh��

I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. I got a few more asks about this but I didn’t post them because I’d reply the same thing. I just DON’T KNOW when the save is coming back, stop asking, anons! It’ll happen at some point. But yeah, I kinda saw it coming, because I’ve posted ts4 for so long, it was fun, gen 6 right now isn’t very fun. I mean it. I’m not happy with the beginning of it, but I know it’ll get better.

Thank you guys for your words. I think this is important for every simblr out there: Post whatever you want. It’s your blog, your game. People might like something more, but in the end you have the final decision. If you want to switch to ts3 because you love ts3, go for it! Maybe some people will leave but eh. Whatever. You don’t need people like that anyway, right?

When your owner leaves you��

This made me sad because his owners actually left him. Forever. They died. 😭 And somehow this dog is immortal or something, idk. It’s kinda wild. But don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t want him to die.

i was tagged by @sixofcries, thank you so much!

Rules: always post the rules, answer the 11 questions from the tagger, make up 11 more questions, and tag 11 people (or how ever many you want) to answer those questions.

this post is very long so i’ll put in a pagebreak so people don’t have to scroll so much.

questions by @sixofcries

1. Do you believe that zodiac signs actually determine anything about personality?

I’m really unsure about this because sometimes I stumble upon horoscopes or any zodiac sign related posts on tumblr and they basically mirror my character/interests/etc. (which is scary and interesting at the same time) and sometimes they don’t.

2. What would be your dream job be if factors like money/where you live/university degrees/lack of employment opportunity weren’t an issue? 

I would love to be an author and publlish my own books. I try to write as much as possible in my free time and I enjoy doing it, so yeah.

3. Do you like rabbits, and if yes, please justify yourself because I am very confused? 

Yes, I love rabbits, first and foremost because I own a rabbit (why would I have one if I didn’t like them). I’m not entirely sure what’s there to justify, I just find them extremely cute and adorable (at least my rabbit is cute and adorable) and they don’t harm anyone, so?

4. If you were a Sim what 3 traits would you give yourself?

geek (hobby trait), lazy (lol I’m being honest; lifestyle trait), cheerful (emotional trait)

5. Would you rather live alone forever and never have any contact with another person again or have to spend 30 minutes with someone you hate every day for the rest of your life? 

I like being alone but I don’t think I could do it forever so it would rather spend those 30 minutes with a person I hate. I mean, I don’t have to talk to them, right?

6. How much money would you have to be paid to kick a puppy? 

No amount of money could bring me to kick a puppy. I love animals so, so much and my bad conscience would kill me.

7. If you are an only child, do you wish you had siblings, and if you have siblings do you wish you were an only child? 

I’m an only child and I love being an only child. It would be nice to have a sibling but I love being alone and I don’t get bored on my own so yeah.

8. Can you forgive Jay-Z for cheating on Beyonce?

It doesn’t matter if it’s Beyoncé you’re cheating on or any other woman/man: CHEATING IS NOT OKAY.

9. What’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever done? 

I don’t know if it was cringy but I once sang in front of an audience (with a few other people) and it was super awkward because the song was horrible and our microphone was turned off so basically nobody could really hear us.

10. If you had twin children, what would their names be? 

I never really thought about that!

11. What would be your first date with your celebrity crush? 

I’m not sure but definitely something exciting!

My 11 questions:

1. A pizza shop asks you to create your perfect pizza. What would be on it?

2. What is your opinion on zoos? (if you made any experiences, share them!)

3. You walk home alone in the dark and you notice that someone is following you. What would you do?

4. You can choose your own name but it can only be the name of a city, state or country. What would it be?

5. What meal is the most important to you: breakfast, lunch or dinner? Why?

6. Have you ever donated blood? If not, do you want to in the future?

7. What is one fictional character you identify most with? Why?

8. Where do you want to go on vacation? What would you do there?

9. Do you have a music genre that you absolutely dislike? If so, why?

10. Do you enjoy reading? Explain why or why not.

11. Do you wear make-up on a daily basis? If yes, what do you use for your every day make-up?

[thedrowsydoormouse]

As per tradition, @anangelamuse-castiel-spnfam and I answer every question on the question thingies we reblog.

lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?

I have multiple best friends but I’m going to talk about the one who’s head is currently in my lap (aka the hubby). We were introduced by a mutual friend when they came over to check up on me while I was going through a depressive spiral after I found out my ex cheated on me with his ex. My first impression of him was that he was super cute and really sweet. My first impression of her was that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?

Wear more black. Don’t even bother with the boho phase. Skip college and just go straight to finding an agent. Start using cbd oil way sooner. There’s only one guy who’s worth a second chance so don’t even bother dating all the others because you will get hurt. Don’t go on Forbidden Journey because it will give you PTSD. 

maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?

I always wanted to learn to play piano. Every other hobby or skill I’ve wanted to try I did. But piano was tricky because they’re expensive and we didn’t have room for one. 

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?

Dean Winchester. We both love plaid and vintage cars and good whisky and pie and we both have the same type (dark hair, blue eyes, total dorks) and we both have parent issues and love classic rock and a whole host of other issues. Plus he’s sexy!

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?

It would look like my sim’s wardrobe but better with tons of black and red and plaid and (faux) leather and it’d be super sexy! Also thigh high boots. My wardrobe now is really close and getting closer!

cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?

Fancy sushi. I used to only eat California rolls but now I’ll eat just about any kind of sushi and regularly eat sashimi (raw fish with no rice) and nigiri (raw fish with rice).

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.

K-pop sucks. And not just the music but the entire industry is fucked up and controlling in an abusive way and leads to normalizing nearly impossible beauty standards and a version of perfection that is toxic and leads to an increase in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and dysmorphia not to mention the sexualization of things commonly associated with young, underage girls which leads to a normalization of pedophilia and an increase of young girls trying to grow up too fast and all things associated with that. I hate it.

fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?

I’d hope I’d do pretty ok. 

jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?

I plan on being famous one day so I’d say myself!

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?

The house I live in is currently haunted as is my family’s beach house. 

orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.

The Halloween party at the Huntington doesn’t suck this year and is actually worth going to. Also Disneyland annual passes.

crow - which school subject do you wish you had an aptitude for?

I was actually freakishly good at almost every school subject except for PE but I never actually tried in that class because I hated it. If I had put effort in I probably would’ve been really good at that, too!

bonfire - describe your dream house.

Custom built victorian mansion in a vibrantly gothic jewel tone color scheme with massive closets, a huge kitchen, a super cushy master bedroom and bathroom, a big room for entertaining, and a dance studio.

cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?

I’d want to live in the late 30′s and into the early 40′s in either Brooklyn or here in LA. 

cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school?

Not really. I miss the structure of it because I often find myself super bored with nothing to do but I don’t miss anything else. 

cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?

My hair. I’m super proud of it because it’s super long and has a super pretty curl and is a really pretty deep purple-y red color that perfectly compliments my skin tone.

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.

When I was 17 I was in New Orleans with my family on vacation and some random drunk Cajun man came up to me and we had a full conversation in French which confused my brother to no end! It was hilarious!

quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)?

It depends on the tea but no matter what I always have sugar in it. For black teas I like a little soy milk. Green teas I take with just the sugar. Herbal teas depend on the flavor but usually sugar and maybe a little lemon. And when I’m sick I do lemon with honey instead of sugar.

pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?

It depends on the person. In general they’re good. But some people are just born bad and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that. Usually those are the ones who wind up getting into positions of power like CEOs of huge companies or President of the United States and wind up fucking everyone else in the ass with a cactus. The other ones that are born bad become rapists and serial killers. Or cops but those are the same thing as the last two things I listed except they get away with it because of corruption and abuse of power.

moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?

I like controlled chaos. My room is filled with a lot of clutter but everything is in it’s own space and I know exactly where everything is. 

flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date?

Way too many for my liking.

cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?

I would have the hair I have now. Super long, curled, and dyed a deep purple-y red color.

ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life?

Yes.

Sims Q&A

tagged by @sparkiemonkey and @justkeeponsimming

What is it? Am I finally making my way through all the things I was tagged in? :o Maybe. First of all, I want to apologize if I miss any of you, I'm pretty sure my activity feed isn't showing everything. But I think I got most of the tags covered, I've just been tagged for the same thing more times and stuff. Spoiler: I'll obviously go with my top three heirs for most of the tags. Probably. The two idiots who shall not be named and the half alien. So yeah, with that being said, let's start. Under the cut.

Should I tag anyone or am I late to the party again? You know what, I would probably tag the same people again and again, so if you like any of these, feel free to do them. I just don't want to spam you all.

Sim's name: Miracle Rose

1. What is your sim’s favorite food? She loves waffles! She also loves to make them, but they usually end up burnt.

2. What is your sim’s favorite color? Green. I would say it's obvious since she's been wearing it for most of her life!

3. What is your sim’s zodiac sign? Usually I go with when the sims were born in real time but in game, she was born on the Snowflake Day and I think that's really cute, so she's the only exception, I pretend her birthday is on 24th December, therefore she's a fellow Capricorn!

4. Does your sim believe in “love at first sight”? Not really, I would say...

5. What is your sim’s sexuality? She's straight.

6. Is your Sim a cat or dog person? (or both?) Totally a dog person. Someone give me Pets so I can #GiveMiracleADog2k17

7. Adding to the previous question, if your sim were to have a cat and/or dog, what kind/breed(s) would it be? A red dachshund that would match her hair. #GiveMiracleARedDachshund2k17

8. Does your Sim have a best friend? Not really, unless you count her cousins. Spoiler: She'll have a best friend in college, that's all I'm gonna say right now.

9. Does your Sim have a favorite life stage? She does. Sometimes she wishes to be a toddler again because life was easy back when she didn't realize she's different.

10. What is your sim’s ethnicity? White/alien

11. If your Sim could travel to anywhere in the world, where would they visit? She would love to visit Shang Simla because she's so interested in learning all about their culture. It started with martial arts and meditation, now she's kind of obsessed with anything Shang Simla.

12. If your Sim was a castaway on a distant, uncharted island, who would they bring? Her dad. She trusts him the most out of all people and she feels safe with him. She would probably also bring her yet to be introduced future spouse, but I'm not gonna get into that because then I'd ramble and share more than I'd like.

13. Does your Sim have a favorite tv show and/or movie? Her favourite tv show is Sherlock. As for the movies, she loves family comedies.

14. Does your sim believe in the “simulation theory”? I guess she knows there's something up there (by up there I mean in front of the screen typing this), but she doesn't pay it much attention.

15. Does your Sim have a favorite kind of clothing to wear? Peter Pan collars!

16. Does your Sim have a lucky charm? *winks aggressively* just you wait

(am i really referencing a musical i've only listened to once in my life)

18. Does your Sim have a favorite family activity to do together? Sitting by the fire and just listening to & telling stories. That usually involves her dad and uncle getting into a fight about who remembers the story correctly. (yes, especially that one story, you know which one, the one about her birth and idk why i'm mentioning it right now)

19. What is your sim’s age? 19-20 years old where I'm now in the game, but I'd say that where the queue is right now, she's around 17.

20. Does your Sim have a dream job? Anything that involves art. She would love to paint for the rest of her life.

21. What is your sim’s favorite beverage? Strawberry milkshake, or anything that involves milk and strawberries (wow ronnie your answers are getting progressively worse)

22. What is your sim’s favorite dessert? Tiramisu (like i'm not even bothering with full sentences)

23. Does your Sim have any siblings? if so, do they get along with all of them? *winks agressively* just you wait

(if we have talked about this, pretend we haven't)

24. What activity/hobby makes your sim the happiest? Painting or playing chess

25. If you could meet your sim, would you be friends with them? YES!
