A-Z Challenge: List your sims in order, trying to complete the alphabet

@someone-elsa Tagged me for this. Thank you! It was a bit of work, but fun to do. I figured I'd have more success with the Pierson save. Given I have tons of characters with names of the same letters, I'm impressed with this (even though I had to go hunting for a few letters lol). Here are all the names and relationships for clarity.

Anissa, Bryce, Cierra (Noemi's new friend), Darien (Jorden's nephew/Noemi's classmate), Ezra (movie producer), Francine (Rodney's mother), Gabby, Herbert (Gabby's husband), Irene (Rodney's friend's wife), Jorden, Kameron, Levi, Melany, Nadia, Prince Cyan, Quinton (Kam's old acquaintance), Rodney, Stevie (Evie's daughter), Tori, Valerie (salon receptionist), Will (Nate's friend), and Yvonne.

Love is Embarrassing

the elimination

ah yes. my least favourite part of bachelorette challenges. i cannot express enough how thankful i am for you guys entrusting your babes to me and giving scar a chance at happiness. i know shes a bit of a dick and has a lot of theo in her but BUT... she deserves some happy too damnit. for this elimination two sims will be sent home and it hurt my heart to do this. because i love everyone so much. but these two had the lowest relationship bar with scar. now after this there will be a challenge. and two sims will go on a solo date with scar. there will be a group date and then one will be going home.and then we're onto the final four. the final four. is where some good bit of dramz takes place. the return of theo is nigh. thank you so much again for staying with me on this. i cant believe we've been doing this since december.i say it a lot but DAMN.

Love is Embarrassing Continues

I absolutely love your stories and I’m so proud of Paul 💜💙🩷

I’m a new lurker to simblr was was wondering what sim stories you’re enjoying right now?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that!!! 🥰😭 I'm proud of Paul too!

Oh my, I don't think I could list all of the stories I enjoy on here but I will do what I can! Some of them are on hiatus, but the good thing about simblr is you can start reading at any time.

First some stories I've been following for a while:

@cinamun Things Fall Apart @hannahssimblr Lucky Girl (and Lucky Boy) @havenroyals Gossip Queen @lynzishell Star Sign Legacy @rebouks Somnium (and Forever in Between) @stargazer-sims Has several stories I enjoy @shesthespinstersimmer Weird & Wonderful, Destination San Sequoia @softpine Frozen Pines @thebramblewood Helena Zhao is Dead @theosconfessions The Stephens

And some that are newer to me:

@300yearschallenge The Olafssons @bakersimmer Martin's Escape @beachyserasims Geneva Island Legacy @bridgeportbritt The Simdonia Royals @daniigh0ul Moonlight @holocene-sims Everything the Stars Promised @funkyllama The Way We Were @earthmoonz Wifey @igglemouse Sims of Our Times @madebysimblr Cortes Legacy @morningglory-sims The O'Shaughnessy Story @nexility-sims 1992 @sirianasims The Duchelli Legacy @thewoodslegacy The Woods Legacy @trentonsimblr Trenton Royals @weirdosalike Dazed in Paradise

I know there are more, but I think that's a pretty sizable list to start off with! I also reblog with the tag "sim stories." Thanks again for the ask and have fun reading 😊

Edit: It didn't let me tag everyone but I tried to add some links 🤞

[ladybugsimblr]

How tall are your sims? I had to fight for my life with this one because Rebi's avatar refused to show up 😩😂. She is already mad at me so I did this thing so many times lmao. Also the twins are shown here as preteens... is that a spoiler? 😅

Here's the LINK for you to try. Tagging YOU.

2023 Top ♥

Tagged by @someone-elsa and @shesthespinstersimmer ♥ Thanks a lot !

I didn't remember doing all that this year !

Thanks a lot to everyone who's been following me through this journey. 2023 was one of the worst year of my life but also one of the best weirdly so let's hope 2024 will be better for everyone ♥

below the cut I'll put the link and explanations for each edit

1/ The Moonlight/Moonwood Tales concept : Based on the lore that came with the werewolves pack, I imagined a story that would explain everything between the werewolves, vampires and spellcasters. I actually prepared a plan for season 1 ... Maybe I'll post it next year ?

2/ The stories I planned for this year but so far, only Melodia is still going. DH3 will start next year sadly and Another Side has been cancelled because of lack of time and a bad computer.

3/ Aïssa in the city : a special photoshoot/lookbook with some items I love and also a small interview including infos about DH2 and 3. It's also a way for me to show more about Aïssa's modeling life. The title is also a reference to the upcoming spin-off about her ...

4/ The DH3 women and the DH3 gang because I want you to love them when the story will start !

5/ The EDGEWAVE fest organised by @aniraklova ♥ It surely was my favourite event this year ! What an awesome idea it was and a lot of people did amazing stuff during 2 weeks ! You saved our summer for sure ! I used Candy Bher as a reference to Another Side and MOON who's a character in DH3 ...

6/ Toxic Don ! A potential new Another Side story I've been thinking about years now ... It would be fun !

7/ The Ghostface DH3 edits : It's a reference to DH3 and Scream of course; the plot will be a tribute to Wes Craven actually !

8/ The Melodia musical video part : it actually was awesome and fun to create but it took me an entire month just for this little video. I decided to stick to a more boring regular way to post this story. I also don't have a lot of readers so far so I guess they will forgive me. I still see it as one of my biggest achievement here though so check it if you can ^^ I love how the episode turns into a musical movie

9/ @windbrook's Slashed Challenge : it was one of my favourite CAS challenge of all time ^^ I'm a huge slasher fan ! It was perfect for simblreen and people created awesome characters and stories !

10/ A makeover of the Three Sages that comes with Realm of Magic : Ana Mae is actually an original OCs, they all should appear in DH4 and 5 ... Morgyn should be very important in DH4 actually ...

11/ URBZ Mag DH3 edition ! Get the girls part here and the boys part there ♥ I love doing fake interviews and mag covers ! Sorry not sorry

12/ Valentines day ♥ My favourite is the one with the Destiny, Leïla and Aïssa because it's funny and feminist, what this trio is together ! They surely had a great night that day, it's also supposed to happen after Melodia so ...

13 / Franck and Madame Sophie : the first drag sims I create ! I wanted one for the Aïssa spin-off so I guess it will be them :)

14/ Recent edits I like : Maria Perron for @birdietrait's coven (I love her and I'd love to make a little story about her) / An other Another Side new idea focused on Venessa Jeong / Destiny's last portrait for the ocs associations

15/ My favourite gif coming from Another Side Episode 1 : I think it's the best ending for this episode as it shows all the plots and times together. Everytime I see it I want to get back to the story ...

Storytelling Secrets

I was tagged by @igglemouse! Thanks so much 🥰 So, I'm guessing I'm supposed to tell some secrets about upcoming events in my story?

Each generation of my Banks Dynasty has its own theme. I already have an idea for Tambara's generational theme, which is based on a song.

I have a new collaboration with a talented sim gameplay storyteller in the works. I can't wait to get started on it. I'm in the process of moving Dub's story in that direction.

I hope to see Generation 5 of the Banks Dynasty explode with new babies, but that will be left up to gameplay. I have yet to introduce three new babies (four if you count an unexpected little addition, but technically, he's in the 4th generation).

I've been worried about how languished Dub and Maia's relationship has felt lately, which naturally happens when Sims become new parents. Still, I am hoping to rekindle things very soon.

Speaking of Generation 5, if all goes well, I have a big surprise planned for those who have been long-term readers of my simblr and are familiar with my Wallace family. I hope my gameplay makes it happen, but it's still far off.

Catching up with #destination: san sequoia

manu - love to see responsible parenting that includes respecting other parents' boundaries and concerns

manu & and xio! aww!

congrats to esther & bruce; welcome to a wonderful family, baby noa!

shalom! she cracks me up! but I hope she comes to understand that she's actually gaining something irreplaceable rather than losing something before it interferes with her relationship with her parents and noa. I'm not really worried though, because they've been addressing her concerns all along the way.

I've never been a big fan of shows that feature children because, more often than not, even writers who have kids can't seem to write children with any sense of authenticity. they're either too precocious, punchline dispensers, or merely a vehicle for making a point. however, I really enjoy the presence of all the kids in your stories and it's really great to see multi-faceted personalities in those little packages.

Thank you so much, friend! 🥹

✏️ Manu has great role models: his parents, Mr. Gabe and Ms. Chidi taught him to be thoughtful and respectful, and he models his parenting from them 🖤

✏️As for him and his wife Xio, he adores her. They spoke a lot about what kind of parents they wanted to be and what kind of marriage they wanted before they even got married. Xio is very goal driven, and that rubbed off on Manu over the years.

✏️Yay! Baby Noa! For two people who hadn’t made any parenting plans, they sure are cranking them out lol Will this be their last? Who knows 😂

✏️And Miss Shalom?? Oh boy. She’s gonna be aging up soon, so we’re just waiting it out. Im hoping her brother Micah will teach her about being a loving sibling 🖤

Between you and I, I’m not a huge fan of writing children. But looking at my own has taught me a lot. They truly are little humans, not stuffed animals or accessories. I look to her whims and emotions a lot to see how she’s feeling, and because her parents and Bubbe check on her often, we’re usually able to nip things in the bud.

Lastly, thank you so much for reading my story; I have been blessed with a small circle of readers that I feel truly enjoy it. And that is so much more than I ever dreamed for.

Thanks for such a beautiful analysis, @greighish ! 🖤🤘🏾

10 facts about me

I was tagged by the amazing and wonderful @shesthespinstersimmer (thank you so much, I loved learning more about you, I feel we are similar in a lot of ways ♡)

Here we go!

1: I'm a Leo ♌️ 🦁 my bday was actually on the 1st 🎉

2: I have my diploma for environmental assessment and restoration... and it makes a very nice piece of wall art 😅

3: I'm 50% Hungarian from my gpa and gma

4: I have MDD so I'm always a sad girl 💙 ( I got it from my mama)

5: I'm a stoner 🌿🌿💨💨

6: I am autistic but I didn't realize it till after I turned 30, so that attributed to #7 which is that...

7: I have bad social-anxiety that i developed as an adult. My whole life people talked bad about me behind my back and judged me harshly on first impressions. (The uncanny valley is real, and it is lonely)

8: I have 3 furbabes, one chichi and one doxxie, and one tabby kitty 🐕🐕🐈

9: I owned and ran my own online small business for 7 years, making custom resin jewelry. My shop was called Seras Beach, and it's actually the reason i called my tumblr beachysera♡

10: I used to wear glasses but I got laser eye surgery 5 years ago (I swear they are still so fricken sensitive...)

I'll tag @lynzishell , @hannahssimblr , @jayveesim , @dawnvy , @honeyjars-sims , @bakersimmer , @feroshgirlsims , and anyone else who sees this 👀

Love is Embarrassing

The Elimination

mannnn i know we've been doing this challenge since december but i feel like now its kind of flying. In this elimination there will be 3 sims going back home. its ALWAYS hard to get through the eliminations.Especially since Scar really loved being around all of them and gaining some new friends. there were a few sadly who lost interest in here almost completely after the solo date. even after being in the same house together they just werent into her that much and thats totally cool. i want to thank you guys again for spending time on your sims and sending them on over here for scar. i hope that i showcased your babies properly :) the next bit of this bc will feature not as many solo dates. itll focus on challenges where the top two will get the solo date. there will be a group date and then eliminations. 3 are going home during this one. 2 will be going home on the next bit and then we'll do the one by one elimination. Eliminations are based on who has the lowest friendship and romance level with Scar by the time it rolls around. and honestly some of these did surprise me.

Love is Embarrassing continues....
