I’m just so inspired to create my own stories with my sims and post them but I have no idea how to start do you have any tips?

hey! my biggest tip is literally just to jump in and give it a try! 90% of everything i know in regards to simblr has been learned through trial and error. i joined just so i could post my gameplay pictures and over time i got more invested, started adding story elements, ditched gameplay altogether, and now here we are today. i truly believe that if i had joined simblr with the intention of writing this insanely widescale story that i'll be working on for the next 5 years, i would've given up after a month. but because it happened naturally, i was able to get attached to the characters and the community i've found on simblr. so that's my biggest tip that i always tell people: just give it a shot and don't set any expectations for yourself (except one: have fun lol) 💖

also some general tips that aren't completely necessary but i think they're helpful:

make your simblr your main blog (ie. the one people will see when you follow, like posts, reply, etc.) for easier recognition.

keep your personal blog and simblr separate. this is not to say that you can't post personal things, of course, but a majority of my content is sims-focused. i created a separate blog for all my other interests. same goes for cc finds, those all go on a side blog.

connect with others!! it's one of the most fun things about simblr. i've made friends and talked to such a wide range of people because we all share a common interest so it's easier to connect. if you're ever unsure of what to say, it's always a safe bet to ask questions about someone's sims/OCs. most people are on simblr because we love to give our sims some kind of story, whether it's through gameplay or dialogue-based storytelling. so it's a really good ice breaker!

i also have a lot of writing/storytelling advice here that you might find helpful 💖

Not an ask but I would just like to say thank you so much this is everything I was looking for and more I can finally flesh out my lis sims play a lot more accurately!

Hi @nacatat0!

This makes me so happy! That was the main objective I had when I started this tumblr. Help other LiS fans to recreate LiS atmosphere in Sims. I’m so glad it has been helpful for you :)
