Dulce has gained more followers ever since her episode of Diced Junior aired! So, she decided it was time to make a VERY serious investment with the tips she earned from the bakery: a tripod. Yup, guys. She's gonna be verified in no time. Okay she's not that famous yet... or like at all, but she thinks she is. Also, she realized she likes Latin Pop music ♬

Argentinian House

Cozy nostalgic Argentinian home of a taxi cab driver and his Rolinga daughter. Rolingas used to be a very popular subculture of bands and teens that were all fans of the Rolling Stones as well as Argentinian bands that had a similar sound to the Stones. They were big in the 90s and 00s.

You can watch me building it on my youtube channel.

Cactus Hacienda

As I said in my pinned post, I'm not gonna be sharing my builds for the time being. I have saved the tray files and cc list in case I change my mind in the future or depending on how many people ask me for this builds, but since it's not a "kawaii build", I doubt many want to download it lmao.

Thanks to all the cc creators @rusticsims-blog #darkandnoirsims @leosims4cc @necrodogmtsands4s @aroundthesims @xelennsimblr #clutter-queen @simbishy @mel-bennett @sixamcc etc

I'm curious where you get the names for ur sims from, like Solvang and Valte for example? Bc they're not names u typically see on simblr. Probably bc the internet is so English-scentric. Ik I've been making an effort to give my sims more names from where I'm from recently and I'm really enjoying that

Hello, I'm from scandinavia so i'm influced alot by names from there. But i also like to look at baby names and chose from latin nodic ofc and just generally try to spice up the names

MILAN VINCA FOR @flocy-sims NESTLED WITH NAFISA

Milan, an aspiring horse rider/trainer, is looking for more than just horses to spend his life with. He's been actively searching for a chance to win a special person's heart via a BC. Sadly, he's been rejected from the two BC's he's applied for, but he's willing to try again after hearing about the beautiful Nafisa. Will Milan be able to capture her heart with his goofball charm? Or will his lifestyle involving horses prove to be too sloppy for the neat Nafisa?

Name: Milan Vinca (pronounced MEE-lawn; he has the Slavic name that means kind/loving and isn’t named after Milan, Italy)

Age: Young Adult

Pronouns: He/Him

Traits: Horse Lover, Goofball, Loner

Aspiration: Championship Rider

Career: Unemployed in-game but wants to become a professional horse rider someday

Likes: Blues and ranch music, the colors orange and brown, horse riding, silly behavior (comedy, jokes, pranks, potty humor), affection, funny people, nature enthusiasts, pet enthusiasts, rascals, homebodies, arid locations, and wide open spaces

Dislikes: Small talk, pessimists, and arguments/argumentative people

___

Biography: Milan was born in San Myshuno to a single father who had a little oopsie when hooking up with a woman one night… However, he wasn’t the only oopsie. Milan has an older half-brother, named Amias (uh-MAI-us), who is only 6 months older than him because he too was an oopsie after a hook-up. His father moved him and his brother out to Oasis Springs when they were toddlers, and it was here that Milan discovered his love for the desert and horses. He has loved horses since he was a child and has always wanted to own his own country home in the desert with lots of land so he can ride into the sunset every day. Eventually Milan and his family moved into a smaller home in coastal San Sequoia, where he spent his teen years. During this time he missed the desert of Oasis Springs and was impatient to return, but as if it was destiny, his father met horse trainer Sienna Grove and the two began dating. They eventually became exclusive and after Amias moved out, his father and Milan moved to Sienna’s residence in Chestnut Ridge, where he currently resides. His father is now currently engaged and Milan is close to his future step-mother for their similar interests and the fact that he gets to live with her horse Flapjack.

Personality: Besides being a horse-lover, Milan is a goofball. He loves jokes of any kind, even mischief, and this stems from growing up in a lax boys-only family. In-game they all of the jokesters family dynamic with each other. However, Milan is the introverted one of the family (loner) and likes to primarily stick with people he knows, which makes it hard for him to branch out and meet new people. His preference for horses over people also tie into this, but with his family members busy building families of their own (his father marrying Sienna and his brother Amias just having his first child with his new wife), it may be time for Milan to meet someone new.

Fun facts:

He has a very diverse ancestry. He can trace his ancestry to Europe, Africa, India, Asia, and Latin America.

Since they’re only 6 months apart, he and Amias are close enough in age to have been apart of the same year in school, but their father kept them a grade apart so they could be separated and be allowed to make other friends besides each other

He’s a Sagittarius

His brother Amias is a famous actor, so Milan has a little notoriety for being his brother

Milan comes from my legacy family (that I don’t share on simblr bc I like having a family to play privately). He is a spare and is from generation 5 (Amias is the heir). As such, he is related to other sims I’ve submitted to people. He is the grandson of Marcella Vinca and the great nephew of Cylene Vinca (both seen here with Marcella on left and Cylene on right)

Once again, he is not named after the city in Italy. He has the Slavic name. He has this name because the Vinca’s have a naming convention in which the heir’s children’s names correspond to that heir’s generational theme. For example, his father (the gen 4 heir) was a serial romantic and dated a lot of people, so Milan’s name and his brother’s name each have meanings related to love.

Simblr New Years Resolution 2024!

Just a fun tag I've made up! Three questions, tag however many people you want to tag!

What's your Resolution for your Simblr?

Just to post more and be more consistent and actually make it to Generation 2!

What do you want from the Sims Franchise?

Honestly at this point for Sims 4 I really hope for more diverse worlds. Basically all the full worlds are either Asian or Western-Europe inspired. I'd love an actual FULL latin america inspired world, middle east inspired world, african inspired world, you know something that would surprise a lot of people?

At the very least make a world as big as Windenburg again guys? PLEASE!?

Any other New Years Resolutions?

Just to get better every day in some way or another! Stay consistent, stay focused on my goals.

I will tag... @sparkiekong - @merrymomo - @joannebernice - @greensleeves101066 - @mysimsloveaffair - @ellemant - @ladybugsimblr - @helenofsimblr - @lynzishell - @nexility-sims - @akitasimblr - @thereesespiece - @sheplayswithlifee - @wolfavens - @wannabecatwriter - @aleksa-sims

📩 Simblr question of the day: Shuffle your favorite playlist, whats your oc/sims' reaction to the first song that plays?

answer in whatever way is most comfortable for you and feel free to share this SQOTD around, make sure to use the hashtag SQOTD and tag me in separate posts ~ 💛

Why you gotta call me out on my favourite playlist? Fine, it's still the "Songs Taylor Owns" playlist. I mean on spotify I make a new playlist each month and- oh hey it's May here now! Need to make a new one- anyway I'll put songs I want to listen to in that but it's not my favourite at the moment because it's been a whole month. So Taylor Swift it is... we have Cruel Summer. Let me just check my files to see the Pancakes opinions on pop music...

Bob: Neither likes or dislikes pop BUT he likes summer strut music which I'm going to say this could be. He likes dancing so he'd probably have a dance around the kitchen to it.

Eliza: Neither likes or dislikes pop BUT she likes summer strut as well. She also likes singing so she's probably going to be singing along to this one!

Onyx: They like pop music! They'd probably have a little sing along just not with Eliza, but with their friends probably.

Fergus: Dude rolled some weird music taste. He likes winter holiday, R&B, Latin pop and Japanese folk... I'm guessing he would roll his eyes and ignore the song.

📩 Simblr question of the day: It's time to appreciate the small things! What's a small detail from one of your posts that you love? Could be a small tattoo on a sim, specific clutter in a sims' room, a little detail in a render or screenshot, whatever is applicable to you!

Hello dear Anne ! Thank you for the SQOTD, and sorry it took me a week to get to it :) So here are a couple of details :

When coming up with my made up town names I tried to make it so they sounds like real places from their respective geographical areas. .

For example with Honfreville-sur-mer, "-ville" is a very common suffix for towns all over Normandy (apparently descending from the latin "villa" in this case referring to a rural estate) and "-sur-mer", meaning "-on-sea", which you find very often tacked on the end of coastal french towns.

Dorfleur includes the "-fleur" ending which is exclusive to Normand toponymy as it seems to derives from the mix the old english "flēot" and old norse "fljót" both meaning "river".

The Préhou island is inspired by Normand island names like Tatihou, Ecréhou, Jéthou and Brecquhou. The "-hou" ending probably descending from the old norse "holmr" meaning islet.

Loguenan has a pretty characteristically Breton sounding "-(n)an" suffix. Also it was pretty heavily inspired by the town Languenan's name.

In Couligny and Rormay, the -y and -ay endings are more generally common in the northern half of France. Couligny being inspired by names like Champigny, Montigny, Savigny etc.

I gave all my sims a precise birthday, partly of based on my weird time system/calendar (I won't explain it now it's too confusing to get into it for now) and partly drawn at random.

I like that they have exact birthdays, that feels more real to me but it's also because even though I'm not into astrology I wanted people to be able to know their zodiac sign and draw whatever conclusions based on those. Not sure why exactly but you know, I just think it's fun !

For my CC making endeavors I sometimes try and replicate adverts from the time period I'm channeling so here are a few side by sides : .

Marina met a little furry friend. The lot is frequently visited by foxes (mostly because of the chickens), but not all of them are very friendly. However this particular red fox seemed to like Marina enough, and even accepted to eat some food inside!

what's something you'd like to see more of on royal simblr?

the timing of this was brilliant, actually, because i had been thinking for several days that i would like to make some sort of entirely uncalled for, roughly edited psa post about What I Think Royal Simblr Needs To Prioritize More :^) anyway, you also touched on this in your own answer, so it’s an echo of that too :^) it's very long, but i had a lot to say about the topic i've chosen. i should also preface by saying that it's not meant as a blanket negative statement or even an objective prescription; it's just based on my own observation and anecdotal experience.

in short, royal simblr needs more cultural diversity !

there are two big reasons why i feel this way: one, the entire premise is suspect because it so easily verges into uncritically reproducing and whitewashing an awful institution; and two, cultural diversity is actually more engaging and interesting than a community that feels monocultural (esp when said culture is a hegemonic colonial product whose dominance is based on plunder, oppression, and destruction of both entire peoples and the planet itself).

personally, i want to be part of a community where folks are 1) actively curious about the wider world and its cultures and 2) comfortable incorporating their own cultures in their stories. it’s true that the bias is perhaps partly because many royalty references in the real world may not have great english sources for a predominantly english-speaking community to use. but, i don’t think that’s a get-out-of-jail-free card. i am absolutely not a person who likes to consciously write myself into my stories, to be clear. that being said, i do ask myself, “what experiences or knowledge do i have that deserve representation?” we write our stories for ourselves but, frankly, i would venture many of us have internalized messages that make us devalue our own backgrounds or doubt others will be interested in content outside of the often white, often western mainstream. in my experience, the royal simblr community places high value on researching and replicating the norms of contemporary western european royalty—particularly the british royal family. the truth is that same care and respect could be put into other histories and perspectives, if the motivation existed to do so.

so, another approach, beyond drawing on your own experiences, is doing the research to respectfully depict or be inspired by a culture that isn't your own. the onus for representation cannot be squarely on the most marginalized of us, even if we'd likely produce the best version of it. if i had chosen to write a story about a fake british royal family, i'd have felt guilty about not writing a story full of brown people from the americas; that representation wouldn't really exist if i wasn't making it for myself. consequently, culture shifts require everyone to do their part, whether as creators, collaborators, or readers. i'd also venture that most of us appreciate when outsiders believe our cultures are valuable and beautiful—when they want to know or experience our clothing, food, and music in ways that are not fetishizing, exploitative, or appropriating. that's part of why tumblr is filled with guides and tutorials to writing characters from all walks of life, from ethnicity to disability to gender; the resources exist, and people want to see them used. it doesn't even have to be your entire story ! individual characters or plot lines can give good representation if you make that a priority.

in my own story, i've blended the two approaches. i think about my own, my family's, and my friends' experiences of indigeneity in what's currently the united states; i've also blended it with my interests in iberian and latin american histories, especially indigenous mexico, among other elements closer to u.s. history. my story isn't a direct replica of any real world place or people, but the culture is based on imagination, research, and feedback. if someone has a critique or feels offended for whatever reason, i want to be humble enough to accept it and make changes. one of the amazing things about this corner of tumblr is that our community loves to help others. learning in public—experimenting, sharing parts of yourself, being creative—is never easy, but it's easier to do when you're part of a community that offers grace and encouragement. my opinion is also that people are more willing to share their expertise and welcome your work if you demonstrate, not just good intentions, but that you've done your homework to the best of your ability.

i want to be clear, too: there's a place for storytelling as conscious critique of the institution, and there are storytellers in this community whose cultures happen to be the ones that are overrepresented. this isn't an indictment of the good stories and good fun people are having. i'm just taking this as an opportunity to offer constructive criticism and give people the encouragement or permission to try something different. why not use your creativity to incorporate other sources of inspiration—or to imagine a different and better world, even?

at the end of the day, everyone can do whatever they want with their hobbies. we can't all be doing social justice on simblr dot com and, frankly, probably shouldn't be ! it is nonetheless true that some of us don't get to enjoy our hobbies uncritically. we can't log onto tumblr and scroll through sims stories and be blissfully unaware of the politics of representation. "royalty" doesn't just connote pretty tiaras and fancy titles for all of us. people who are marginalized in the real world are part of this community. its representation signals to us how welcome we and the stories we have to tell really are.

most or all of us are imagining our countries to be part of the same fictional world. it's just my personal opinion, but i don’t think that world should be mostly fake europe plus specifically the settler colonial parts of fake non-europe. my challenge to everyone would be to think about whether your story could or should meaningfully contribute to a fuller, more realistic representation of the world we've created as a collective within this community.
