📩Random simblr question of the day: What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about being apart of simblr?

favorite: except for the few, everyone is super kind and sweet and supportive. we’re all creatives boosting each other up and enjoying each other’s stories, which is awesome!!! everyone is inspiring

least favorite: it’s become almost like an addiction to check my dash. whatever platform this was on, i’m sure it would be the same. i’ve deleted all social media so this is as close as it gets for me, but my goal was to care less about other people and focus more on me and my life. simblr isn’t necessarily a place where I compare myself to others, but I want to keep up with everyone so it fills the same hole. I mean my first instinct is to check tumblr when I get on my phone. which is bad lol.

anadius has saved the sims community probably hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more but he also calls people illiterate dumb bitches in his discord. schema of an antihero

📩 Simblr question of the day: Do you have any blogs that make your day when they post? Mention them! Tell us why you like them!

Hi Anon! Thanks for the ask!

There's so many people that make my day when they post, that it would be hard to list them all. But some of my favorites are

@void-critters - super nice and awesome, d&d characters

@simarcana - awesome sims, amazing edits

@softpine - one of my OG follows, and one of my all-time favorite blogs and stories

@simgerale - just the best person ever, and the best story ever.

@rebouks - super fun and nice, great posemaker and amazing storyteller

@barbieaiden - makes gorgeous renders, and has super cool OC's (and has adorable bunnies)

@rainymoodlet - amazing BC, hot sims, and all-around awesome person

And literally everyone I follow! I know I'm leaving off so many people, so I'm so sorry, but I literally follow 450 blogs, so there's no way I could list them all. These are just a tiny fraction of the awesome people I follow and interact with on a regular basis.

📩 Random simblr question of the day: If you could live in one sims 4 world, which would you choose?

definitely a cross between henford and brindleton, because they feel the most homey to me! my house is built on an old cow pasture and i'm a 20 minute stroll from the harbour, and you couldn't pay me to move away. other than that i'd love to live somewhere like copperdale!

📩 Random simblr question of the day: In honor of pride month, which of your sims are lgbtqia+?

📩 Random simblr question of the day: You’re stuck in an elevator for five hours straight. Which one sims 4 townie are you choosing to keep you company?

anaya jang !! i feel like we'd just talk about music and art the whole time

[sirianasims]

Psssst! Hey! Yes, you! We need to talk about clubs:

Using the Clubs for Immersive Gameplay

Of all the systems that Sims 4 has, the club feature is probably one of my favourites (Restaurants are a close second, but they're not why we're here today!) Clubs are one of the easiest ways to increase your immersion when you play and make the random townies that show up on community lots just a tiny bit less random.

The Basics

Often, people are mostly concerned with the groups their active sims are in. You might already have a club to keep track of your sims' closest friends, study group, or baby daddies, we don't judge here.

Clubs are also a great way to automate what you want your sim to be doing with less micromanaging, but for immersion, we're actually more interested in clubs for the sims you don't (or rarely) play.

WTF are the neighbours doing?

Most of the pre-made clubs are kinda meh. I prefer to add my own so I can make my community lots just a bit more lively and make sure people's activities make just a tiny bit of sense because the autonomy in this game is not great. These are just for inspiration based on clubs I often add to my own game:

A group of teens who meet at the retail clothing store to try on clothes and gossip about Nancy's nose job or whatever.

A local bowling league (complete with uniforms) who meet and bowl - just don't fuck with The Jesus.

An HOA of Karens who meet at the park to clean, raise property values, and be mean to people.

Geeks and gamers who meet at the local arcade to awkwardly flirt over pizza.

Comedians who meet at the local comedy club - you can even use the club doors to make a VIP backroom only for the performers.

Sports teams - such as a basket team who meets at a local basket court, or a swim team who meets at the local pool (you can even give them tiny matching speedos!)

Scouts! The scout feature is cute but it's a rabbit hole, boo! But you can make a Scouts club, complete with uniforms, and have them show up in parks where they can do various activities and work on their badges. Add a teen or two to supervise the younglings, their parents will be so proud, aww.

A sorority or fraternity in university who meet up at the local bar in matching varsity jackets to make all the other students feel inferior.

A group of old ladies who meet at the park to knit or cross-stitch and brag about the accomplishments of their descendants.

A "business" club, usually CEOs, lawyers and such, who meet in fancy bars to hold important business meetings and probably commit white-collar crimes, so predictable.

If you have a sim with an office/work from home job and you'd like to pretend they actually go to work, you can make an office building and a group of "coworkers" who'll show up to drink coffee, chat, and work on computers next to them in the office. It'll even simulate rotating desk assignments for an instant capitalist hellscape!

The possibilities are endless, and I find the club feature really useful to add little interesting scenarios to the background of my gameplay.

Thanks to SQOTD for inspiring this!

📩 Simblr question of the day: according to you, what are the most underutilized gameplay features in the sims games you played, dlc included? - @simblr-question-of-the-day

[ladykendalsims]

Hi guys! How are you doing? I feel like saying hello, so you know I'm still alive😅

I miss you so much! I will be back sometime, but sadly not now😭 I'm still working a lot and rl doesn't give me the time or energy to put in my sims stuff, but I hope this will change soon. Anyway I do play sims and I still have many pictures to share. I didn't do so, because I also have to catch up with your beautiful blogs and I don't like just to post something without having the time to interact with you, but if you want and you don't mind if I don't participate that much as I did before, I would post some random pictures or stuff sometimes;) tbh I'm very lost about simblr rn 🙈

I also got a lot of questions in my ask box and mentions in this time I wasn't active. I'm sorry I didn't answer or say something, but I really appreciate it every time I see you thinking about me and sending love to my blog, even if I'm not here, you make my day, thank you everyone🥺 I will try to answer some day, but please, keep in mind that real life doesn't let me to be here that much as I really want.

I love you ❤️

Personal update!

Hey everyone! I started to write this at 9:40 am, then I got distracted and did not post it right away but I guess activity on tumblr at that time is low anyway.

I am happy to report that I am still going strong with my changed day/night cycle. It's not always easy, I don't get into bed early enough on some days and feel pretty groggy the next. But this is always where I get defeated - I think okay, sleeping in for half an hour won't be a problem... but then I go to bed even later and the cycle goes backwards really quickly. This time I am determined to stay strong even if that means I walk around like a zombie and drink 1.5 liters of black tea on some days to keep me awake 😆

I guess it takes time to adjust the evening routines too. On these "useless" days, I often play Anno 1800 which is engaging and relaxing at the same time. I often quit the game to mod this and that in the game, so my brain is pretty engaged still and this is how I like it most days.

Since new habits need at least 6 weeks to be counted as a new stable habit, I will focus only on my sleep rhythm for the time being and allow myself to take a mental break from other projects to eliminate the inner expectation of working on those when I know it is unreasonable at this time. It also does me good to let go of any pressure to create TS3 content. I know it has been a while but it does nobody any good if I guilt myself because of it. I often get negative feelings around my simblr lately and it sucks, like I am really unsure about the few AI patterns I made and the poll made me really question what I should do since it is pretty divided. I do not know whether those are more random people who answered the poll or people who often engage in my blog anyway. So I don't really know if I should release those patterns at all or if people come and harass me over them if I do. But not releasing them would mean that energy to create them would be truly wasted, I think? If the images exist already, shouldn't they be used to make it count? Because thinking of that makes me uneasy, I put my creative energy into Anno 1800 for the time being which is not emotionally loaded. I am way too disorganized to really do beauty building, and most of the time I am just happy when my population get the goods they want 😆but modding another item that helps with that or editing other people's mods to fit my needs is fun and satisfying. It's a bit like editing tuning mods for Sims 3 (just with some more complicated layers added depending on the mod).

Knowing myself, I will get another pattern idea soon enough though, and sweater season is fast approaching which means I get into the mood of creating more cozy patterns, hopefully! I want to give a shoutout to people who have shown my patterns in screenshots lately. I admit I am not very active on tumblr at the moment and do not see everything I should. Memorable ones were @martassimsbook and @gittessimsadventuresog, but anyone else please feel addressed too! It means a lot to me to see my patterns in use, it makes me feel validated and useful and lifts my spirits. It also helps to dispel some of my negative thoughts (maybe patterns do not go obsolete after all if people are still using them). I'm really happy they are so useful to you! A lot of you probably do not post many gameplay screenshots but use my patterns anyway, I cannot forget about you 💜thanks for all the support!

10 random facts about me

I was tagged by @rebelangelsims 😘

Let's see. I think I've done some random facts asks before so there may be some overlap because I'm not a very interesting person but let's see...

When I was like 6 or something, my brother had me convinced he was Peter Pan and he gave me a little bag of pixie dust. I was (and still am) terrified of heights but he told me if I jumped off the back porch, which was really high off the ground to tiny me, that I would fly if I sprinkled the pixie dust on myself. I got as far as climbing over the railing and trying to summon the courage to jump when he stopped me. Turns out the pixie dust was powdered sugar.

My favorite song of all time is Free Somebody by Luna from f(x). Idk what it is about that song that my brain latched onto like "yesssssss this is the one" but I just love it.

I am named after Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I am intensely weirded out by puppets, particularly of the Muppet variety. There's just something about those felt-covered bastards I don't trust.

I started playing the Sims 1 in 2002 when I was 16. I never owned a single expansion pack for it, but it captivated me so much, I was almost late for work more than once because my pixel people needed me.

I always say "please" and "thank you" to my virtual assistants, not because I'm afraid of a robot uprising, but because that's just how I am. I don't even realize I do it, most of the time. Me and Bixby (I'm a Samsung user) actually have beef because I'll be like "Hey Bixby open Outlook, please" and she'll be like "lol bitch Idk what Outlookplease is" and I'm like "OPEN. OUTLOOK. Please." and she's like "Idk what you want me to do, you don't have Outlookplease installed on your phone" and I'm like "I AM TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOU" and Bixby just sits there all smug and not opening Outlook like aldjfalsdjfadsjfalsjfsd what do you want from me why won't you accept my politeness???????

I have made my Simself in every version of the game except Sims 1 because it wasn't possible to do so. But in Sims 2, 3, and 4, I have made myself and of course I am always a witch with a black cat familiar.

My addiction to CAS goes back to childhood when I used to make dresses for my Barbies out of random scraps of fabric. I didn't know how to sew, though, so everything was held together with safety pins, dental floss, school glue, and tape.

Not only can I whistle, I can whistle pretty darn well. I can't sing worth a damn so I guess God felt sorry for me and gave me one singular musical talent. It just so happens to be the one that most people find incredibly annoying.

I've been fascinated by Greek mythology since I was a small child entirely too young to be reading Greek mythology. Do you know how much incest there is in Greek mythology?! A lot. A LOT! I was raised by Fundies so it's really surprising I was allowed to read those stories and nobody was like "hey maybe the 6 year old shouldn't be reading about all this murder and incest and baby-eating". Because baby-eating also comes up a surprising amount of times. I still love it, though. Give me a good Greek myth any day.

Hmmmmmm let's see...who to tag...

Well if you read all of that crazy shit up there, I'm tagging you. Yes, you! You reading this!

Also, @venriliz, @getboolpropped, @changingplumbob, @coreene-simblr, @druidberries, and @living-undead don't ask questions just do it unless you don't want to.

Simblr Gratitude Day

I've been in a serious adulting and holiday prep pattern this week and haven't been able to be here much, so I'm behind on a lot of your content and missed this really cool event. But will that stop me from participating? Not one bit! I finally have a moment to chill, so here we go!

Y'all know how much I appreciate you, but I'll never stop expressing it. Whoever came up with this idea, kudos to you! There's often so much negativity in this community and I love that we're not gonna let it win. Let's make spreading love a way of life!

@ladybugsimblr, you are the best co-conspirator collab partner, and I appreciate you putting up with my foolishness on the daily lol. Your friendship has been so refreshing, and I am really glad to know you!

@trumpets0ng, you keep my sims in constant supply of super amazing builds, and my stories have never looked better. I appreciate you also putting up with my shenanigans and am glad to have a chance to get to know you outside of sims things.

@mysimsloveaffair, it has been a privilege to get to know you better! I love seeing you pop up in my messages, and collaborating with you has been so fun. Thanks for allowing me into your life!

@maladi777, you have been around since the very beginning of my Sims 4 life, read every single story, witnessed every glow up, and have been part of every community I've joined. So the question remains...who is stalking who?? I appreciate your stalwart friendship and love that I can say I have known you for as long as I have.

@percosim @saps-sims, you're my reblogging tag team! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have nearly as many followers with you guys consistently spreading the word. It's really amazing what you do, and I appreciate it so much!

@someone-elsa, you ask the BEST questions, and I always look forward to them. And you know I'm loving your lookbooks right now!

@soulsimmin, I LOVE talking to you whether it's sims, design, or some random bizarreness that just occurred! And I love how deep you get into my stories and characters. Your comments keep me rolling lol. Sometimes I'll add some subtle obscure funny and say to myself, if she is the only one who gets it and laughs, I've been successful lol. Thank you!

@bridgeportbritt, I appreciate your check-ins! These internet friendships we all have can be a minefield sometimes, and it's hard to know how people are affected by things. I appreciate you asking! And I appreciate you loving my sims!

Love you all!!

📩 Simblr question of the day: If you could live in the sims which world would you pick as your home? It could be from any sims version. Why there?

- @simblr-question-of-the-day

This is a random list, no least to great, no great to least!

Bridgeport (TS3)

City vibes. I live there actually. Got my own apartment and all that. Also saw that one prominent couple downtown, going inside one of the high rise buildings. The lady is pretty, got that golden eyes—

I know this is not an EA world but I'd love to live in Anne Arbor, a custom world done by MySimRealty. (TS3)

But SPECIFICALLY, I want to live in @nocturnalazure version of Anne Arbor. Idc if I die by vampires, it got the citiest city vibe of all cities. (Also?? I could just walk around the city and I'll probably stumble on Erik)

San Myshuno (TS4)

The only proper city that is in TS4, in my opinion. Apartments, apartments, and penthouses. Love it. So sad it took EA 7 years to release For Rent to make your own apartments.

Honeycomb Valley by @kimmiessimmies (TS3)

This world is like your childhood town that you know you'll always come back to. The Valley has its own university too! If I don't want to live in a city, I'd live in the Valley!

Any tropical worlds (Sulani, Isla Paradiso, Sunlit Tides)

Because it reminds me of home!

random simblr question of the day: do you have one or more ocs/fav townies you associate with a tarot card? If so, which ones?🃏

Thank you @simarcana so very much for your wonderful and inspiring ask! I do have a very ooc Morgyn who became more of an oc over time. For the story I have in mind for them, I strongly associate them with the Strength card. For their craving of power, their entanglement with lust and all that they have been through to get where they are now. ✨🕯️✨

I thank you so much for giving me the chance to prattle on about them in this light. ✨💖✨

A Cozy Lookbook Ft. The Strangerville Gang

No one asked me to show my OCs in their cozy clothes, but I did it anywaaaaaaay!!!! (Just imagine I sang that) Yes this is a dumb lookbook, but I had fun!! I was inspired by the random simblr question anon that was going around a couple days ago asking to see people's OCs in lazy Sunday clothes.

Sidenote: I ask that you ignore any weird, crunchy bits if you can. 🙈 I took out my height sliders, but once I lined them up side-by-side I realized that they looked so weird all the same height, so I adjusted that manually. I hope you all enjoy my babies in their comfy clothes! Check out my Strangerville tag to learn more about them. Alright, onward to the links!
