#simblr survey

[alltimefail-sims]

After I upload the Pleasant family and their house (this week, after the sim dump is posted tonight) I want to do a build that's a little different than a suburban home or community lot as there are many of those out there.

Here are my inspo images for reference:

[imvusimblr]

how big is your mods folder? idk in the 1000's prbly,Idk how to check how many files I have and I am not counting them....

how would you describe your style? lol as someone who has OSDD that is a hard thing to differentiate...I don't have a set style, Sim or otherwise.

what is your favorite challenge? I've only done 2 challenges. The Zodiac one (which was being buggy so I quit) and the crybaby whims one which I am on currently. Unless you count Random Genetics. I am planning on doing the Teen Runaway and Whimsy Stories.

do you make cc? if so, what kind? No Idk how.

what type of cc do you hoard? Mainly CAS items and Clutter. But lately I have been downloading alot of Mods.

what default eyes and skin do you use? I don't really pay attention.

how many urls have you had, and what are the meanings behind them? For The Sims? This is my only one.

who is your favorite gameplay blog? I prefer watching on YouTube. Like Syd Mac and LivingDeadGal Sims.

who is your favorite storytelling blog? Again YouTube. Some of My current faves are MissLollyPop, Draeyad, SilverhairSimmer, Neecxle and Ligayatrait.

who is your favorite cc creator? Of all time? @noodlescc or @noodlessorbets as well as @remussirion and @pralinesims. I also really like @aharris00britney @simpliciaty-cc @serenity-cc Lumpinou, MissyHissy, @ratboysims @trillyke @thepeachyfaerie @kawaiistacie @mechtasims and @sims41ife to name a few lol

how do you edit your photos? I just use my reshades and Microsoft Image editor.

what is the last screenshot you took? I will show you. A random Sim I made that I thought looked like Naomi Campbell.

what do you do when you are unmotivated? Create Sims via random genetics or decorate via generators.

who is your current favorite sim? I should probably say one My Alters I made lol But rn it would have to be these two cuties, that are the kids of My main in the crbaby whims challenge. They are twin preteens. Marigold and Mabel. idk why there shirts look blurry they are fine in game. Also ignore the out of order numbers in this survey, that's what happens when I add pics.

who is your current favorite sim that is not by you? That I've downloaded and have a screenshot of...Probably Raina from Mokah

recreate someone else’s sim in your style. I gave other outfits to them if that counts and hairstyles. Here's a couple. Like Raina and My Artsy Sims by Mandy Sims

do you talk about sims with people in real life? Not unless they play.

how many of the packs do you own? All except Moschino (which I'm planning to buy) Star Wars, and most of the kits.

how many posts do you have on your blog currently? idk alot of reblogs lol

how many drafts do you have on your blog currently? 0

how many posts are in your queue currently? 0 I never use that.

have you ever moved blogs? No

are you in any sims related discord servers? No

what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (WereWolves) I wasn't too impressed after I bought it, it actually annoyed me that you couldn't do anything while being one (as a Beta anyway) but after watching others play I've started appreciating it more.

how many hours have you played sims? 5 or more.

if you play gameplay, do you play with mods? Yes always it's boring otherwise.

what’s the farthest you’ve gotten in a challenge? Currently with My Crybaby Whims Challenge, Delilah had twins with her husband but also her ex (twice which was an accident) So now she has 3 sets of twins which was a nightmare until I aged them up. Victor and Liliana know about the affairs (I also think they may like each other) so now I'm just waiting for Delilah to age up so she can get a divorce, move out with the kids and become a politician. I might have her become official with Lorenzo but he's kind of a tool...so...

New Survey! (I try to post a link -> here, hope it works? (plz let me know if not). If not, check your TS4 login screen.) It's not all the pages from the survey (it's all about the new pack). At least they ask us ^^'

That's what I wrote. Ciudad Enamorada has just no vibe imo. But I also think that Copperdale has a great vibe, and Moonwood Mill :3 It's just my opinion. I started a build in the new world and I planned for us to move there for a while but it's just not talking to me. San Sequoia never talked to me either. Ach dammit, I forgot to mention the bugs! Lol, but I think they are aware.

Takuya: Alright.

Envy: Alright?

Takuya: Better than teal-

Envy: [laughs] About damn time!

Takuya: You think you'll visit again?

Envy: Why? You gonna miss me?

Takuya: Maybe a little.

Envy: You'll miss me and you're a cuddler? You must be breaking hearts all over the mountain.

Takuya: [laughs] Oh you have no idea. How many have you left broken in San My?

Envy: Touché.... Although, that best friend of yours.

Takuya: Uh-oh, you trying to swerve him?

Envy: [laughs] No. As his friend, do you think he'd hurt my friend?

Takuya: Ah…. I know he doesn't want to. I didn't realize how serious it was though.

Envy: You didn't answer my question, really.

Takuya: I don't think I can. I don't know the future.

Envy: Well pass along to him that if he hurts her, I'll scratch his eyes out.

Takuya: And you have the nails to do it. You got it. Now how about you dig those nails into my back?

Envy: Again? I admire your stamina.

Takuya: You just bring it out of me, Red.

what are your favorite locations from VTM:B?? - Help me pick what to feature in a custom main menu!

I would ❤️ if you guys took this short survey i made to figure out what locations to feature in my custom sims 4 main menu for my vtmb project! (its only 1 question)

Google Form Link

[l-1-z-a]

All the stuff in The Sims 3, The Sims Medieval, and The Sims 4 was originally concepts and ideas for The Sims 2. And that's what's important - the developers of The Sims 2 had elaborations on these ideas that were removed or implemented in later games of The Sims or in spin-offs

In April 2006, a survey was held on the official website asking players what they would want to see in later expansion packs.

A large chunk of those ideas would not make it into the final, but in later Sims-related content.

The page mentions of Sims as castaways on another island, where they need to build a new home in the rainforest to farm, fish and build stuff to survive. The idea would be released as a spin-off called The Sims Castaway for consoles and handhelds, and The Sims Castaway Stories for Windows. Oddly, farming isn't a feature in the latter, despite having dozens of leftovers for it.

There was going to be an expansion pack focused solely on functionable hospitals, separated into four different careers referred to as "medicine, physical therapy, surgeon, or psychiatry" in order to cure illnesses from Sims. The would be revisited in The Sims 4: Get To Work expansion.

This paragraph details the gameplay. And they complement what Mike Seller, one of The Sims 2's game designers, described in response to a question about the goals set during its development:

Add more meaningful jobs and locations -- this eventually came out, sort of, in later releases, but a ton of work we did for this was dropped. For example we had gameplay for creating your own doctor's office with waiting room and treatment room. The more chairs, magazines, fish tanks, etc., the longer patients would wait. The worse your diagnoses or procedures, the faster they would leave (if you made the patient scream because you chose the wrong procedure, the Sims in the waiting room would get upset and run out the door :) ). Unfortunately, we were also beset with frustrating technical issues involving the underlying scripting language (Edith), so making all this was incredibly difficult.

An expansion pack that would be released as Pets is mentioned in the survey, but it also refers to training pets, suggesting that it was going to play a slightly bigger role rather than teaching them tricks. Coincidentally, The Sims Pet Stories does feature a pet training system in the form of an obstacle course.

What would be the Seasons expansion is mentioned in the survey, mentions the feature of a "sand volleyball" activity. An unused volleyball graphic can be found in the base game, suggesting the feature was going to come to fruition.

A time travel-themed expansion pack is explained where Sims are travelled back in time to a fantasy neighborhood "where they can live like royalty or enjoy the simple things in life", and have access to building castles, having enourmous feasts and working on small farms. The whole idea would most likely be the basis of The Sims Medieval, but the castle-building aspect would be released in the form of a The Sims 2 Store set, coming with medieval-themed furniture.

A mystery-solving expansion pack, involving socializing with specific Sims all over the neighborhood to figure out the mystery would be most likely revisited in The Sims 3 Ambitions in the Detective Career.

But when reading the description, this trailer comes to mind, which supposedly refers to The Sims Castaway Stories, but there's nothing Castaway about it. It really makes you wonder what happened in the town and why people disappeared:

A similar Seasons-themed expansion pack is mentioned where Sims could put on parties specific to certain seasons (Despite the idea being released as the New Year's Party in Happy Holiday Stuff), with the mention of a party planner. Seasonal-themed parties would likely be revisited in The Sims 3 Seasons.

The last option mentions enjoying the best years' of the Sims' youth, with features involving birthdays, playground antics, slumber parties, building tree-houses and forts, sports practice, and prom nights. The idea sounds a lot like what would eventually be in The Sims 3: Generations, but the mention of a sports practice could also loosely tie into the FreeTime expansion with the soccer goalposts. There's also an unused model of a Slumber Party Memory in the base game, suggesting that the feature was going to return in an expansion pack before getting scrapped again.

After the expansion-related ideas came the addition of specific objects that players would like to see in future expansions;

Furniture workbench (create your own furnishings)

Pool toys

Camping - would be introduced in the Bon Voyage expansion pack.

Water parks, zoos, amusement parks

Apartments - - would be introduced in the Apartment Life expansion pack.

Slot Machines, Roulette, Craps tables - Would be introduced in The Sims 3 Lucky Palms.

Casinos

Pets - would be introduced in the Pets expansion pack.

Weather and Seasons - would be introduced in the Seasons expansion pack.

Concert lighting and stages - would be introduced in The Sims 3 Showtime.

Snowball fight - would be introduced in the Seasons expansion pack.

Gardening, growing food - would be introduced in the Seasons expansion pack.

Sports and other active events - would be loosely introduced in the FreeTime expansion pack.

Skating, snowboarding, skiing - would be introduced in the Seasons expansion pack.

Cooking materials, food items - would be loosely introduced in the Seasons expansion pack, but would come to full use in The Sims 3 base game.

Prom parties - would appear in The Sims 3 Generations.

Health and sickness - doctors and nurses making house calls

Fishing - would be introduced in the Seasons expansion pack.

Frisbee

Going shopping - Not to be confused with Open For Business, which came out a month prior.

Yearly calendar - mark, plan special events

Natural Disasters - would be loosely introduced as the meteor death in The Sims 3 Ambitions.

Celebrities

Create your own holiday

Movie Theater

Croquet

Hotels - would be introduced in the Bon Voyage expansion pack.

[simsply-challenges]

Hey, my lovelies!

I have made a short(ish) survey to get to know what you are looking for in the Simsply Save and how you usually play The Sims 4. If you could fill this in and share I would really appreciate it!

[lusuey]

Please please vote for the Australian* dinosaur pack in the new sims 4 survey I'm literally begging on my knees,, Museums desperately need an update!!

[thesimofmanu]

This could help all of us a lot! Thank youu!

Pink Flashing Experience Research Survey!

Hi TS2 community, I am very interested in learning more about the way pink flashing happens or doesn't happen in different people's games. I have put together this kinda fairly detailed survey as a Google Form that hopefully can shed more light on the issue.

If you are familiar with your computer and graphics settings, you can easily finish the survey in about 5 minutes. If you need to look a few things up, it could take 10-15.

If you had flashing with some settings and resolved it, please consider filling out the form twice - once describing your experience before you fixed it and again for after. If not, please just use your post-fix experience.

Please, please reblog as data is only as good as the breadth of its sample. A summary of the results are viewable to all upon completion of the survey and I am happy to share more detailed findings with the modding community, just let me know.

New Survey!

Tell them what you think about the new event!

Link to survey:

There is also a video about the latest news (a 'clarification' on the forced update (which I still don't understand -.-)) from Pixelade:

I still don't understand what happens when we don't update until June 10th ö.Ö'

[armoricaroyalty]

Tumblr polls are limited because you can only pick one option. If you'd like to chose more options (up to three) via a google form.

The survey is the same question as above, with a second question to indicate whether any of the above qualities are unimportant. It should take less than 5 minutes to complete.

A long time ago, I had an idea to make a really detailed survey to get a sense of how the average reader consumes stories on simblr, but the project as I imagined it was too ambitious and I lost steam. I decided to revive a version of it using tumblr polls, so I’ll be posting a couple questions in the coming weeks/days and then putting together a synthesis post with all the responses.

please reblog so I can get a decent sample size!

[alltimefail-sims]

Time for an important question, for science.

Only City Living townies are listed, but that's what the 6th option is there for if you have a townie outside of San My that you put her with!

I'm giving this survey a week because I need answers. I want as much input on this as possible. Simblr Penny stans unite and take over

🌸🌻💐🌹🥰

Sasa my love I appreciate each and every bit of kindness you send my way please accept my happy eyes and hearts in thanks 🥹💕

🌸: Main Characters

So I actually have my own personal definition of Main Vs. Side characters. To me, a main character is anyone who gets a post written from their perspective. A side character, while they may feature heavily in the plot, never actually gives us their perspective. So in that definition Giorgio, Summer, and George are all side characters, while Josephine or Virginia would be considered main characters.

Then I have other definitions for things like main vs. secondary heir, spares, etc. We’ve got a whole Darlington categorization system going on for the eventual Darlington battle royale (who’s your favorite) survey waiting for us at the end 😉

🌻: Side Characters

I had mentioned this briefly but Giorgio was originally two characters. Jo’s partner in New Orleans and the eventual man they meet out West were actually written as two different people, who neither Zelda nor Antoine really knew that well. In this version, Josephine is the one who spearheads their move out West.

Everything kind of just grew as I wrote, although the first time we see Giorgio, I had never intended for him to be a reoccurring character. That’s why we got his character bio so much later, when I had decided that he was going to play a pivotal role.

🌹: Plot

So kind of in line with that, you can see how despite having some core plot points mapped out well in advance (like moving out west) I change a lot as we go, based on y’all feedback and how things are feeling to me at the time. It’s one of the wonderful things about simblr, since we have more freedom to kind of morph and edit as we post based on interaction and what we as writers learn about our characters over time.

💐: World-Building

Well for my fellow builder, of course I have to talk about builds! So I actually build quite a lot in this game. I think I have about a hundred (or maybe less y’all don’t quote me 🤣) builds on my gallery and I regularly just build for myself as stress relief. However I haven’t actually built a single lot in this story from scratch.

For whatever reason I find it so much easier and less stressful to find builds either here on Tumblr or on the gallery and then edit/redecorate them to suit the story.

Employee Quality of Life Survey

As I mentioned in a previous post, there are 100+ posts in the queue and I've set it for 10/day.

I think this is great for not spamming anyone's dash, but it also means that the 108th post will not be added to the directory until September 3rd. I really don't want anyone who originally posted between the 17th and the 23rd of August waiting that long to be introduced.

Once we are caught up (meaning any new submissions will post within 48 hours), additions will be posted as they arrive via "the simblr office" and "thesimblroffice" tags, on my dash, @'d, or are submitted via Ask. So...

There is no need to reblog this as it will only impact followers of this archive. Thanx!
