Sometimes a family is—

Just kidding. Thinking about my space bounty hunter oc who has the same first and last name and constantly wears a helmet because of sensory issues and people think he's so mysterious and cool but he's, like, freaking out all the time. And he's short.

LOVE space bounty hunters!! he sounds so so lame (affectionate) and i love him

Do you have any tips and tricks for someone (me) starting a sims story to post on Tumblr? Asking for a friend (it's me. I'm the friend)

omggg you're askin me? 🥺

I'm not sure I'm the best simblr to ask because I'm not in it for the trends or popularity; I'm all about the interaction and finding others to talk to at length about my delusional fictional universe that's been going on for over a decade now lol. But let me try:

*puts on my mother glasses* There are two ways to go about it; depending on your goals. There are plenty of exceptions, but simblr sorta has a formula you can follow. Get ready for some contradictions haha

if you aim to appease the simblr community:

reshade/gshade mixed with photo-editing is generally a must. Simblr users will gravitate to pretty pictures, so even if you're an excellent writer, people usually won't give it a second look unless something attracts them to it. The sims is pretty ugly without filters and such, and it will enhance the experience as well. Bonus if you crank up the mxao and depth of field but I prefer to take it a little easy on those lol

CC. Not necessarily a must, but simblr in particular usually hates vanilla sims. same explanation as above, slather those suckers in skin details!!

poses poses poses. readers love reading stories with poses and they spit on screenshots with only game animations! (tbh those game animations do get pretty repetitive after a while so I kinda get it)

Read stories. I'm not much of a reader personally, but there's a huge imbalance in the reader-writer ratio on simblr, and lots of simblrs will return the favor if you read theirs too. Be careful, though; getting stuck in a transactional mutualship can lead to tricky dynamics. Only reach out to other stories if you're genuinely interested in following more stories, not just to gain readers.

BUT, with all that being said, as an "elder" of the simblr community, please consider this as permission to say screw any and all of those above tips if they don't align with your goals.

If your goal is to just have fun and relax:

reshade/gshade. Because let's be real the game's graphics are very depressing. It's not actually a must if you're just enjoying yourself, but if you find the right settings and just play, so you can spend minimal or even no time editing your photos. There are lots of tutorials that explain how to set it up. If you can't figure it out or don't feel like it, that's also not a big deal.

I can be a controlling sim god when it comes to my stories, and I have most things planned out. HOWEVER sometimes it's a little fun to let the sims drive their own storylines. If something is just not working, I consider that a sign to let the story flow in a slightly different direction. IF you're planning on writing gameplay stories/writing as you go, as I do. (which has its own challenges lol)

Sometimes it can be tempting to let readers sway the way the story is going. Sometimes that is a strategy that works. But if you have a storyline that you're confident in, own it and let it play out. Even if the whole community (and your spouse) wants that alien character to go die, you have him there for a reason, trust in the power of your storytelling 😜

Despite being a pose creator, I find using poses kinda tedious and sucks the life and immersion out of the story and gameplay personally, if used too much. Trust me, I do use my fair share of them, but I do try to use the game animations whenever possible. When I do use poses, I personally prefer to keep the expressions very maxis-y.

Don't try to be like any one particular simblr. With a community where we all pull from the same CC and game pack pools, there's bound to be overlap in aesthetics, storylines, and concepts. Definitely find inspiration in all your faves but do what works best for you but don't feel some sort of way if your screenshots don't look exactly like PastelPlumbobPixelLlama's game, despite you downloading all the content and presets from their resource page! You have your own style babe and it's way more unique ♥

Post a "New Story/New simblr" post to get the word out about your story.

PLEASE don't ever get discouraged by notes because you are perfect and creative and if others don't understand your genius that's them problem ok <3

sorry it's so long ;-; there's probably more but that's what came to my mind off the bat.

Still peeved sims doesn't have height differences btw. How am I supposed to accurately depict Ricky the manlet and Hatergirl McGiantess Lavanya if sims has them the same height and the height slider mod messes up the animations!

I guess we're gonna have to use the most powerful mod of all: ✨️imagination✨️

Just saw where someone asked someone else where they come up with their surnames, so I thought I'd write up a little thing for my own creative process. I mean, no one asked me but someone might be curious, right? Right!

So, when I make legacy sims, I don't use the in-game randomizer. I use Behind The Name's Random Renamer.

It is located HERE.

As you can see from the above example, you can select a gender for whatever name you want, how many middle names you want, and how many names you want. Then, you can either add in your own surname (i.e. when you have an heir being born so you have the surname already, but no idea what you want to name them), OR mark random. I got Bobbi's name from this randomizer.

After the necessary stuff at the top you have the things that are less necessary - generating a life story, avoiding rare, and avoiding diminutives. These are all very handy dandy little tools.

Finally, we have where you can either allow for ANY category, or select specific ones. For Bobbi, I selected English, Spanish, and Portuguese, since Selvadorada is based on a mix of Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, but her Mom is more of Windenburgish descent than Selvadoradian. Because I made these selections, only names from those languages were chosen for both the first name and the surname.

It's really handy! Sometimes, I want something more specific - for Mireya, Tomás, and Martim I googled some very Portuguese names and chose from a list - but for when I only have a vague idea of what I want, it's very useful.

And that's the end of my "how I name my sims" explanation.

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

My current WIPs I guess:

- Tale of Grimmwood

- A Fairytale Ending

- Afraid of the Dark

- Welcome to Wonderland

- Snow Queen (working title)

- Untitled BlueCoal Story

- Untitled Ari Story

- Of Heroes and Monsters

- Tales from the multiverse

I'm SUCH a Tycho apologist. He could kill a man in front of me and I'd be like "he's just going through a tough time right now". But even more so am I a Coraleye apologist. She could murder someone (she'd never but if she DID) and I'd be like #girlboss #slay #he deserved it

same girl same and that's why we're the problem 😭💀but honestly this is good, because it keeps things interesting and dynamic, because for every 1 Tycho apologist, there are 3 readers who wanna throw him off a building. Speaking of murder tho, whether you love him or hate him... both opinions have the same goal, Tycho's death 😄

...Which he would ~LOVE~ if Coraleye just went through with doing, making him a valid suitor in the legacy, but she refuses to entertain any topic related to his demise, bless her 🥺

Noetah doodles a lot. Pretty much nowhere is safe from being scribbled upon; whatever place he ends up in gets a makeover in marker and crayon. It’s usually too damp to use paper, so the walls are a good substitute

So. We're having our dog put down here soon (He has a torn ACL and arthritis in both hips and he can't be on the arthritis meds and the ACL meds at the same time. There's nothing we can do to fix it and at his advanced age there's really no hope of recovery). Just. Thought I'd let y'all know.
