#i love stories that arent squeamish about themselves

[angst-and-fajitas]

I don't think I can overstate that Pantheon seriously has the best writing of just about any show I've ever seen, seriously my no-holds-barred winner when it comes to character writing, and a phenomenally tight plot that's deceptively complex but resolves into this fantastically simple nugget of two brilliant character arcs resolving each other

Hi sorry if I'm bothering you but I love your legacy so much and I was wondering, how do you get attached to you sims so you continue to play them? I've made lots of sims and tried stories and stuff but I never seem to begin to love them. Thanks in advance :)

hiiii!!! not a bother at all! it took be a really long time to truly fall in love with a family for my legacy, i stopped and started so much and even got to the point where i fell out of love with my original simblr fam (rip the montgomerys 3)

HOWEVER!! i’ve found the key for me personally is to not force myself to play with them! you want to take a break from simblr? DO IT! ive done it so many times and who cares! i know the people who love my legacy will continue to read it if theres 3 hours between posts or 3 months! (is now a bad time to mention my queue runs out in 3 days? anyway)

another massive thing for me personally is that i love story driven legacies! i have a google doc where i plan everything and i find that seeing my goals for my own legacy rly motivates me and reminds me why i love them and why i want to continue sharing them with u all!! 

now thats out of the way, to sims themselves - don’t be afraid to scrap a fam and start anew! im absolutely in love with my lil aspyn clarke, more than ive ever loved a sim but dw it took me a few tries. but here’s some things i found useful: — build them a personality outside of the traits - aspyn might be squeamish, perfectionist and romantic but shes also driven and proud of her work as well as a lil insecure and nervous around people she likes and also can be overly proud and kinda full of herself.. these arent traits obviously but theyre things i think about her and helps me shape her as more than just a sim. dont make them perfect people with perfect traits, theyre not people let alone perfect but u get my gist. — also for me, i share dumb quirky things with haley and jills that you cant replicate in the sims but thats how i see my own sim and thats why i love her - jills sent me this random photo of a girl with pride flags and loser written in the bg and said it was aspyn and it was true! getting your pals involved in your sims helps a lot and if you dont wanna to share with your friends, you can share with me (im ur friend but besides the point here anon)— also pinterest boards!! i love pinterest boards omg. i have some for aspyn and lucy (as well as some future charas we havent met yet) but they also help me visualise how i see my characters and inspire me.

this is very long and very ramble-y i hope it helps u a lot its 3am im sorry im a lil frazzled i just really wanted to answer this for you ♡♡
