hi! i recently came across your blog and i love everything i'm seeing! a quick question that i hope makes sense, tips on making ocs in the sims? when creating a character do you know off the bat their ethnicity and all those details or is it just randomly making them? i'm trying to create some characters that have been bouncing around my head but i get stuck on the details

hmmm ik the process is diff for everyone but me personally i usually trawl my face inspo pinterest board for ideas if i'm like deliberately making a character for Something... i almost never stick to a single face i usually cherrypick what i feel works for the character and kind of riff off of what i feel like their i guess place and emotional standpoint would make sense.. in. i guess 😭😭 im sorry im just saying shit but sometimes its random sometimes its not but i like to keep it as loose as possible initially and i decide specific ethnicity/religion/etc etc etc like... once i'm pretty much complete

#this goes for people raised in western white centric societies as i was but its like really good to decentre whiteness as the norm also?#like im not awake enough 2 articulate it but characters can be. so full and rich and not just a cut out stereotype #its a hard thing to unlearn! but very much worth it #ask #reply #anonymous #one weird thing i hard to remove from my head was theres never smth as Too Many Nonwhite Characters in like a team #bcos sooo often like kids shows shit we grew up with would be like white mc with brown hair white mc with red hair white mc with glasses #and then the poc character. only one in the whole show. like it doesnt have to be that way ykn #okay wow im just rambling now sorey... im gna sleep
