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!
@gingerbeardmansim, @thelastairsimblr, @gogomadu, @wannabecatwriter, @digital-deluxe, @budgie2budgie, @dreamstatesims, @eslanes, @ellemant, @hazelminesims, @cross-design, @micrathene-w, @shesthespinstersimmer, @haziewhims, @whyhellosims, @chcltroses, @geminispeaketh, @n1ck1s1ms, @beebeesiims, @wifemomsimmer, @nyrarachelle, @nilonne, @utamuse, @pinkchocolatesims, @kimbogee, @missmoodring, @lazysunjade, @nightlifeseries, @deardiaryts4, @ladytee918, and everyone who has ever liked or commented, to the lurkers, to my newest followers I am not familiar with yet, I appreciate you all SO very much! Those of you who write, build, make cc, and everything else creative, you know how we all get in our heads sometimes. All of you keep us going, and your interactions do not go unnoticed. 💛
Love you all!!

Simblr Gratitude Day
First of all I want to say a huge thank you to any and all of you who have read, liked or commented on my stories. I really appreciate any and all interaction with me and my stories. You keep me going when I feel like quitting.
At first I was uncomfortable with tagging individuals as I don't want anyone to feel left out or feel bad. I know all too well how that feels. Whether you're listed hear individually or not I want you know I appreciate seeing your sims on my dash are sorely missed when you're not there. ILY
@izayoichan - I love your story with and without pictures. Chris and Hayle have had my heart since the beginning. I love that when I have a problem I can come to you whether it be personal or simblr or writing related. Thank you for being a friend and sharing your sims with me being willing to read my stories and making suggestions that make them even better. And putting up with me when whine because your characters refuse to do what I want them to XD
@mahvaladara - for as much as a complain about Arlo and Fann I love their story. Thank you for sharing it with us and putting up with me when i disagree. Thank you for sharing your sims with me and being a part of my story world. You've only made them better!
@wannabecatwriter - thank you for sticking with me for so long. You were one of the first people to read my stories and I think we came to tumblr around the same time. Thank you for all the sims you've shared with me through the years. My stories wouldn't be the same without you.
@joannebernice - thank you for sharing your awesome stories with us and your poses. Your poses are some of my favorites. You have me on pins and needles with what's going to happen with Michaela.
@theosconfessions - ILY and your sims and for putting up with me when I disagree with their decisions. I don't know you draw me into their world and want to scream at them at the same time. I missed you when you were gone. So glad you came back!
@rebouks - love your story and poses. I love Oscar and his family and am looking forward to what happens next. You're poses are among my favorites.
@stargazer-sims - I look forward to whatever you decide to work on next. Keep being you!
@amuhav - i'm waiting patiently for the next up date....yes that's a hint. I'm practically dying from Loch withdrawal.
@simlit - you're a wonderful story teller and one day I'm going to sit down and binge read everything. Thank you for sharing. And I still love your poses and use all the time.
@treason-and-plot - what can I say....Roy he encompasses everything there is to say. I look forward to the next outrageous stunt Roy comes up with.
@holocene-sims - Grant....he deserves to be. Thank you for sharing his story.

Happy Simblr Gratitude Day!!
There's so many amazing people that I follow, and I know I can never name them all, so if you don't get mentioned on this list, PLEASE don't feel bad. I know for a fact that I'm going to miss some incredible people.
(under the cut for length)
@simlit - possibly the best "bachelor challenge" to ever exist. An incredible story with compelling characters, excellent writing, and stunning visuals. I binge-read all of COTS in one day, and whenever it updates, it's the highlight of my day.
@simgerale - Miranda is so incredibly talented. She makes the most beautiful sims, and her story Regal that just finished recently might just be my favorite story anyone has ever posted on tumblr. I've been following it since more or less day one. Also her legacy family is ADORABLE.
@softpine - the last of my top 3 stories on simblr. Everything Brandi writes is so incredibly detailed and filled with so much love. There is so much nuance and detail that goes into all of her posts, and all of her characters are delightfully complex. I binge-read the entirety of Camellia over two days, and it was a DELIGHTFUL experience.
@potionio - Omen makes some of the most amazing sims I've ever seen. Everything they make is GORGEOUS, from sims to builds to edits. Amazing alt fashion and spooky vibes all around. Also just an awesome friend.
@panicsimss - another amazing spooky simmer. Panic has gorgeous OCs, and I love everything she makes. Poppy and Hudson have my heart!!
@salemssimblr - Ash makes incredible renders, and is also just very kind. She's an awesome friend, and I'm so glad to have met them!!
@goldenwaves - Izzy is another incredible render-maker and editor. They also are the creator of some of the most fun and interesting dnd ocs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with and hearing about. Plus, her new story Heartbreakers is super awesome!!
@wileyfern - They post adorable gameplay, and their legacy family has been going strong for a long time now. Her current heir, Ocean, is super fun to follow!
@void-critters - Jay makes amazing edits and has some amazing dnd ocs that I love hearing about. They're also super kind and a great friend.
@warwickroyals - Ayanna's story is one of the only royal simblr stories I really follow very closely on here, and for good reason!! The level of nuance and commentary that goes into her story is very special. If you're going to follow a royal simblr, let it be this one!! Plus some very cool cc!!
@heartblobs - A very lovely historical simmer who just recently started a new decades challenge!! Ellie's current family is super cute, and I can't wait to see them grow!
@wildmelon - Lush makes some of the most gorgeous sims I've ever seen, as well as amazing edits!!! Also a critical role fan, which makes me happy.
@rebouks - Somnium very quickly became one of my favorite stories on simblr, and now Forever In Between is following in the foorsteps! Becca has adorable sims, and blends an excellent mix of gameplay and storytelling. She's also an INCREDIBLE pose maker.
@ghostputty - Ky makes INCREDIBLE edits, including those very famous eye edits. Also, their story, Deck of Fate, is fascinating, and I can't wait to read more!!
@raiiny-bay - Rai makes amazing renders, and their Monster Boys universe and lore is FASCINATING. I could read about the zombie boys for hours!
@arcanewonder - Sara's renders are on a whole 'nother level. Truly nothing compares. The fantasy vibes are immaculate! Plus, her simblreen treats from years past have saved my ass in decorating the castle for RTQ/ATQH.
@barbieaiden - Sam makes some of the most awesome renders I've ever seen, not to mention his stunning story and intriguing OCs. I love Sam and Aiden, am morbidly fascinated with Tristan and Kas, and am eagerly awaiting the day I get to hear about his pirate OCs.
@rainymoodlet - Shan's sims are all GORGEOUS, but Dan is truly the best of them all. Dan's bachelor challenge, KMIK, is amazing, and even though my boy may be out of the running, I'm very invested to see who ends up stealing Dan's heart.
@samssims - Sam is a pillar in this community. Her NSB family captured my heart right away, and her unique method of storytelling is so cool. Not to mention her poses, which are a must-have!
@laeska - Makes some of the best hairs in the community, and all totally free!! Her simblreen gifts this year were amazing, and I have all of her cc in my game.
@retro-plasma - Corn's sims are beautiful, and their gameplay posts are stunning! They truly have a talent for making things come alive!
@omgkayplays - A truly incredible simblr. Stunning builds, mindboggling edits, drop-dead-gorgeous sims, and a fascinating story are all reasons to give Kay a follow.
@seaslugsims - Their story is awesome, their cc is amazing and very useful, plus they're super kind and amazing!!!
@simandy - Ellen is literally the first simblr I followed, back when I joined this hellsite 5+ years ago. Her cc is amazing, and absolutely a must-have in my game.
I know I've missed people, but I think I've hit my limit on tagging people. Either that or tumblr's just throwing a fit at how long this post is. Either way, each and every person I follow deserves a spot on this list, so don't feel bad at all if I missed you!!! I follow over 400 people, all of whom are amazing.

OH MY GOD. I just spent the last ~2-3 hours binge-reading Chosen of the Sun from the beginning, and HOLY SHIT. I'm so attached to each and everyone one of them. This is definitely now in my top 3 simblr stories, holy shit. I can't believe I hadn't read it before because fantasy on simblr is literally my niche….. Ugh, I can't wait to see what happens next. I have hope that after Ase's talk with Sarayn that maybe he will see some sense and agree to help Taiyo and Tayuin, but we shall see how everyone else votes....
Sorry for the long rambling ask, but holy shit I am officially OBSESSED. I apologize in advance for all future fangirling that will be happening in the comments and tags of this story. This is literally everything I've ever wanted!! Political intrigue/mystery with the history of the Trials, all the interpersonal relationship drama going on, a side of slow-burn romance... What more could a woman ask for???
(I will say that although I adore literally every character, Ase and Eira's friendship brings me so much joy. My initial favorite was Aster, based on his intro post alone. Tayuin has grown on me a LOT, and Sarayn intrigues me. God, I really just love them all so much.)
Okay, I swear that's the end of this. Bye!! I hope you have an amazing day, and thank you for feeding me with this INCREDIBLE story.
where does my socially inept ass start with this reply... firstly, apologizing lmao, and secondly thanking you immensely from the bottom of my lil black heart for taking the time out of your day to read my silly sims story. it will never not be a shock that people can find and engage with my stuff so enthusiastically, but if there's anything I've posted here worth getting invested in, it's certainly CotS LOL. I absolutely appreciate you falling in love with these characters, as I have done myself over the course of posting. and I'll endlessly praise the ten amazing people who contributed their sims to this bachelor challenge ~idea~ and unleashed chaos upon my blog xD
this ask was an absolute trip and treat to read, and as much as I love hoarding nice asks, I had to post this right away so that each of these character's mommies can share in the good vibes. thank you SO much again for reading and getting invested, and to leave this wonderful message in my inbox (and nearly giving me a heart attack but it was the best kind, I promise). I hope you will continue to enjoy the rest of this journey with us. glad to have you on board and hope you'll cast your votes into the hellfire ring and join said chaos. thank you, thank you! ♥
also is this the vote that finally turns sarayn around? we here of little faith salute you
#jade babbles#cots fanmail#is this tag still relevant lmao#it's been a hot minute usually I only get memes#im awful at taking compliments#cots is easy cuz I can just deflect blame onto everybody else#yeah jana how dare you make aster so good#ase and eira being the bromance we all need do be facts

Get to know you- Sims Style
I got tagged by @12raben & would like to procrastinate cleaning my entire house for Thanksgiving, so here we are.
What’s your favorite Sims death?
Run With Scissors! It was available on the official Sims 2 site wayyy back in the day & is now located Here (link)
Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
Can't it be both? Realistically this is one of those that just doesn't apply to Sims 2, because almost all of the BG hairs are made of alpha panels & so is the lace on the bottom of the BG silk nightgown. But yes to improved & later-EP Maxis textures.
Do you cheat your sims weight?
If I have a specific outfit I want them in, & the outfit doesn't have a fatmorph or has one that breaks through the top/bottom of the outfit, sure. Until the next time I close the game, at least... adding & fixing fatmorphs is stupid easy, resisting the urge to throw out the clothing & create a whole new wardrobe is very hard. Then I'll cheat it back if I remember the next time I load the game.
Do you move objects?
Yes.
Favorite Mod?
ACR (link).
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
Either Livin' Large or House Party. I wanna say House Party because that was the one that had celebrities come to your house for a good party, right?
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?
I've actually never said the words "live mode" out loud. I could see both being accurate. aLIVE. Like "go live" in software terms, they are software that is becoming operational. Or LIVing... Build/Buy/Live, as the actions that you as the player are taking in the game. I would probably swap back & forth if I was ever forced to talk about it using the words "live mode".
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
Oh nooo... I don't often make my own Sims, but use premades or recreations of Sims from different games... so... Goopy Gilscarbo.
Have you made a simself?
Yep! Sim-Me helps facilitate photoshoots in games that I'm playing, since my house is located outside of time in terms of the game. (Any unpaused action while there is another playable Sim on the 111 Lifa Lane lot is not saved lol). I also like to play around in my Sim house to figure out redecorating & rearranging ideas for my IRL house.
Which is your favorite EA hair color?
(sarcasm) Piss Yellow. (/sarcasm) For real though I like Pooklet colors.
Favorite EA hair?
M&G stupid anime hair lol.
Although I also like a few of the store hairs (link)
Favorite life stage?
Everything but Baby. I'm so glad that Baby only lasts a day in the unmodded game, they're little screaming larval annoyances. I love the little mischievous things that the Toddlers can get into, like playing in the toilet, hugging the pets, & stealing bottles from their siblings. I think the Child anims for everyday activities are sooo cute, like when they whip out the step stool to put away dishes or brush their teeth, or sitting on books to play Chess. Teen Wants can be a bit annoying but they're chaotic in a fun way, like sliding down the stair rails & playing on the fridge door. YA is a good age stage even if college is kinda tedious, specifically because they're super resilient & have a ton of freedom & very few responsibilities. Adult, well, that's most of the game, isn't it? If I hated Adults I probably never would've played at all. Elders, even when retired, can be really sweet especially if you have them in close friendships & group homes - it can be pretty chill to hang out in the retirement home lot for an afternoon watching Sims play Myshuno & Mahjong.
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
Both!
Are you a CC creator?
...If I said "no" would literally anyone here believe me? (Yes. Yes I am.)
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
Sure do!
Do you have any sims merch?
Official merch? No.
Do you have a YouTube for sims?
I've thought about making one, & have been asked to make one... but not currently no.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
I'm more into making neutral & basic things now; I used to be VERY Hot Topic type of vibes. I mean, I still am that way, but most of my Sims are normies because for the most part it doesn't make sense to park Grandpa in the goth club in all of the old ClubCrimsyn outfits, ya know?
Who’s your favorite CC creator?
There are so many it would be hard to list them all! Just the fact that everyone who currently creates CC is still around making things for this ancient game is amazing to me.
How long have you had Simblr?
Over 10 years? I think I got on Tumblr in like 2010 or so, & it was specifically to publicly post gameplay pics to a small group of friends.
How do you edit your pictures?
I crop it in Photoshop & then slap text on it. You've seen my CC preview pics, I'm not doing anything fancy.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?
Nightlife! I mean, come on... Spooky haunted house, vampires, cars, bowling, karaoke, restaurants, & ALSO the goth club? Sign me up.
Tagging: No tags just vibes, if you feel up to it you can join in the fun.

Hey Alexis. I have to say your Darlington legacy is amazing and Zelda is the cutest and I love her story, and omg don't get me started on Antoine. I want to start the decades challenge myself, I’ve tried and failed before, but reading your story is making me want to do it. BUT, how? I’m not asking for a long detailed explanation, but more like your top 5 ways or something, you used to start it? Mods, cas-blogs, etc? And only if you got the time and of course want to share it with us/me?<3
Hello, there! Thank you so much for the kind words! And I’m incredibly glad to help. The Decades Challenge is a bit of a beast compared to other sims gameplay. It takes a little more research, effort, and organization to make it really enjoyable. So if I can push a few people deeper into historical sims life I’m happy to do so 😉
A key point before we get in resources below the cut (because prepare for paragraphs babes), how do you want to play the decades challenge? Do you want to stick to the original challenge? Do a version with more realistic aging? Just play casually for the gameplay? Have a meticulous storyline planned out (ahem 👀)?
In case it isn’t super clear, I’m not playing the decades challenge anymore. I have used it as a jumping off point for storytelling. Truly, I play the game very little. Usually I try to recreate the story posts in gameplay for myself but I do not try to achieve any of the challenge goals or gameplay rules (although I do have my own rules).
For this reason, I am not the best resource on gameplay mods. There are some mods that I’m dimly aware of that make the challenge more fun, like those by @janesimsten and this mod which I used a lot in the 1900s.
That being said, there is a lot of freedom in the the historical simblr community to craft the experience that you want. You can always try one idea and change it as you go. When I started the Darlingtons it was meant to be about 50/50 gameplay/storytelling with randomized death rolls and challenge goals. Then, I realized what I enjoyed and leaned further into that. I think this is the key to sticking with the challenge, because otherwise it’ll just feel like checking off boxes and you’ll give up sometime around 1900.
So without further ado, let’s get on down below the cut:
First and foremost, and I cannot stress this enough, start a mod organization system from day one. Playing historically requires a good deal of CC and if you don’t organize at the beginning, it gets very very difficult to sort stuff out later. This can easily make historical simming overwhelming and frankly, unenjoyable. I personally would start with a clean mods folder. Keep this separate from your regular (modern) mods as well. I have three mods folders, one for regular (modern) gameplay, one for building vanilla, and one for the Darlingtons.
For the Darlingtons, I have everything organized by mods, CAS, and then BB. Within these folders I organize by decade. That way when I enter a new decade it is easier to pull things in or out. I also have a folder on my desktop for subsequent decades CC, so if I ever find anything that isn’t easy to save on my Pinterest (more on that later), I download it then and there, and put it into the appropriate folder. Then when I hit a new decade I already have a bit of a CC collection going.
Now for finding CC, I am really not the best resource on BB stuff. I just don’t download a lot of it, and what I do is usually super specific or things that I see others using regularly. There are a couple of pieces of mainstay BB CC that I use consistently, and I’ll be glad to point you in the direction of those if you see something you’re interested in. However I don’t really have a central resource on BB they way that I do for CAS. So without further ado (because CAS is really why we’re here for historical simming, isn’t it?)….
Lookbooks, lookbooks, lookbooks. Seriously. Pixelnrd’s lookbooks we’re one of my first references, and I find them so helpful that they’re the reason I started to make my own. Just looking at a couple lookbooks can be much quicker and easier than scrolling through pages and pages of CC. But if you’re willing to go a little deeper down the rabbit hole, @twentiethcenturysims has truly made the resource to end all recourses. Their CC is categorized by decade for easy scrolling, and they also have a lookbook tag if you prefer to get your CC that way.
Now, and this is a personal one, I have used Pinterest SO much for this legacy I cannot even stress it enough. I have two boards: one for poses and one for CC. The poses one is a whole different beast, so if you ever want an answer for poses and storytelling please send one. But I’ll refrain from diving down that rabbit hole right now too.
My Pinterest CC board is organized like my mods folder, by decades. I also have a board for BB, general mod finds, hair, and (this one helps me a lot) CC that I have already downloaded so when I do lookbooks or get a WCIF, the link is already there for me.
These boards serve two purposes. Whenever I find a piece of CC that I like, I do not have to download it immediately. I save it to the appropriate decades board and it’s there, waiting for me, whenever I reach that era. This makes the hunt way easier, and also makes me SUPER excited to get to the next decade because I already have CC that I can see the characters in.
Secondly, Pinterest is an amazing resource in and of itself. Once it “learns” what you’re looking for, Pinterest will pull CC from all over the internet, including stuff that I’ve never seen in people’s lookbooks or the resources listed above. Then it’s an easy click to save this link for myself for later.
So scrolling through Pinterest then turns into a sort of inspiration board as well. This is a broader point regarding the tendency of people to quit the decades challenge: find what inspires you to do it and what makes you excited for the next decades.
For me, part of this is the storyline and seeing my characters reach the next plot that I’ve written for them. But much simpler, it’s the clothes! I’ve always been into fashion history and historical CC is actually how I found this community in the first place. So often if I’m tired out with writing or editing I’ll just go look through Pinterest for new stuff or scroll through my historical inspiration blog (which is linked in my pinned post if you’d like to check it out).
But above all, honestly, just don’t take it too seriously. Sometimes I see rather stringent calls for fashion accuracy or anachronisms but like…it’s your game. Start whenever you’d like, play however you’d like, for as long as you’d like. Hopefully this just gives you a bit of a framework for making that happen ❤️

All 🕯️ have been extinguished, and this year Simbrleen comes to a close here on hula-zombie.
Please bear with me, I’m going to try to have my gifts posted tomorrow. I haven’t been feeling well and life is chaotic. If not tomorrow, this week sometime for sure!
In other news, this may be my last year doing something big for Simbrleen! It’s one of my all time favorite parts of Simblr and I’m happy I got to participate this year, even if my family visit trip got canceled. NGL, kinda glad it did because I have been feeling extra crummy.
Which leads to this next thing. Still being overall cautious, but if everything keeps going as planned my family is going to grow by one come this May. It hasn’t been easy and this would be my 🌈, so happy thoughts and pixie dust are always welcome my way. I know things can change, but I’m being cautiously optimistic given where I am right now.
I don’t think I’m leaving Simblr forever. Things will probably just stay as they have been. I don’t know if I’ll be much of a “creator” anymore but I’ll still probably be around.
Thank you to everyone that has made my time here the best. I hope you all have a very Happy Halloween! 💜

Get to Know Me - Sims Edition
If you saw me accidentally post this before I filled it out and had to private it really quick, no you didn't. 😚
Thank you for the tag, @simsdastra! ❤️
What’s your favorite Sims death?
In Sims 2, the satellite death and death by flies. I used those constantly.
In Sims 3, the meteor death (obviously) and the time sickness death. The meteor one because of how devastating it is while still making your surviving Sims a shit load of money and the time sickness one for how existentially horrifying it is. You just get Marty McFly'd right out of reality! 😱 I haven't had a Sim die that way when it wasn't on purpose and I'm willing to bet not many other Simmers have either. It's a pretty rare death.
In Sims 4, it's the pufferfish death and the Rabid Rodent Fever death. So visceral and mildly disturbing! When Sims 4 gets it right, it gets it right!
Alpha CC or MaxisMatch?
Alpha hair in Sims 3 because it's an absolute necessity, but I don't mind most of the EA clothes so I guess that's Maxis Mix?
When I played Sims 4, I was Maxis Match all the way except when it came to makeup and skin details.
Do you cheat your sims weight?
Not as much as I cheat their muscle slider. I find it preposterous that a Sim with no muscle definiton can go for one jog and come back shredded. I am constantly cheating their muscle mass back down to a more realistic level.
Do you move objects?
Of course, how do you live without that? In fact, I even have a button on my gaming mouse programmed to it.
Favorite Mod?
The transmogfrifer mod by icarus_allsorts and the stencil remover by velocity grass. I use these so much, I forget they're not naturally in the game.
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
Like, the first one ever? Sims 2 University. I played Sims 1 back in the day but I never had a single expansion pack for it. I didn't even know what expansion packs were until Sims 2.
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing
Both. 🫣 I don't know which way is the "official" way, so I just alternate my pronunciation depending on what feels right at the time.
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
Aiden. 👽
Have you made a simself?
Many times! I've had Simselves in Sims 2, Sims 3, and Sims 4.
Which is your favorite EA hair color?
In Sims 3, you don't have to use swatches for hair so I almost never use the premade ones. However, there is a nice deep reddish brown that I quite like. I use it as a base frequently.
Favorite EA hair?
Most of the Sims 3 EA hairs are horrible even with retextures, so...none lol.
Favorite life stage?
I'm gonna be boring and say YA. 🤷♀️
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
Gameplay. I can't build to save my life.
Are you a CC creator?
No, I want to make CC but I have no artistic talent and I wouldn't even know where to start.
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
I do not know what a Sim Squad is but I do have Simblr friends! And Sims Reddit friends.
Do you have any sims merch?
No but I did once make a bunch of tiny resin plumbobs.
Do you have a YouTube for sims?
Haha no, I do not have the time or face for YouTube.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
It hasn't changed that much, honestly. I am a bit more story-focused and a lot less murder-y, but that's about it. For the most part, I still have attention span issues and tend to start a lot of new saves lmao.
What’s your origin id?
Rabbitmancer. You can add me if you want but I almost never turn the online features on in game so it doesn't really do anything.
Who’s your favorite CC creator?
@aroundthesims, no question about it. ATS has literally everything and I have downloaded all of it. 😱
How long have you had simblr?
About...a year? I don't actually know. I've been on Tumblr in the past, though I left around 2015-2016, but I never dove into the Simblr community. @happy-lemon talked me into starting a Simblr and I'm so glad she did!
How do you edit your pictures?
I don't edit my pictures all that often because I do not know what I'm doing. I use ReShade and if I need to make minor edits, I'll do so in Paint.NET like a pleb.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite?
Sims 2: Open For Business. In fact, it's my favorite expansion of all time.
Sims 3: It changes often but it's Ambitions right now. There's so much in Sims 3 to love!
Sims 4: Uh... I plead the fifth. 😑
I am tagging @happy-lemon, @oasislandingresident, @spaceapples98, @bool-prop, @hazely-sims (lol if I'm the millionth person to tag you again, disregard), @camisulsul, @sim-songs, @ninjaofthepurplethings, @neillesimstories, and @autonomousllama, as well as anyone else who wants to do it and hasn't yet.

I just caught up on the araújos and HOW is Bruno still alive?? my mans gotta be going on 100 now! Also I adore Changmin, he makes me wish I had a lovable himbo friend too 'cause he just seems so jolly and sweet all the time. And finally, I am excited about this occult sim dump- I don't know if you have any headcannons for the three you've posted so far, but I am 100% convinced they're best friends.
GIRL i used to joke with my simblr friends about how bruno is fully never going to die but that is actually the reality of my legacy now. he was present for every wedding & he even met the heir to the fourth generation. that mermaid lifespan isn't fucking around. also, i'm glad you love changmin; my original plan was for him to be a styling client/snow bro and i never expected for him to have a resurrection storyline. you can thank neighborhood stories for killing him off, lol.
as for the three occults, i actually do have a bit of headcanon for them! they have the classique vampire-werewolf mortal enemies trope & the spellcaster acts as some sort of a mediator between them. i imagine all of the occults living in an ornate, art deco mansion in glimmerbrook and the spellcaster is pretty much the ring leader of the occult shenanigans.

May the Force Be With You
I am not even a huge Star Wars fan, but it is May 4th :D.
Hope you are all doing great in these weird times! I recently took a risky decision regarding my career and I am still getting used to the new normal. However, my stress levels have decreased dramatically and I couldn't be happier. I am glad I made this decision, despite normally being so hesitant to change.
I've been playing The Sims 4 during my spare time. I don't have many pictures to show because I have been mostly playing random families and not staying in a single save. I was not able to fix my issues with The Sims 2, so that game is still in limbo for now.
I know I disappear frequently, so the reason I came back is to remind everyone who visits my Simblr and my CC blog that all my files are FREE to use. You may also share them in other FREE sites or forums. AFAIK, Simfileshare is not supposed to go down anytime soon.
I just read about the most recent drama regarding paysites/Patreon (not on Simsecret, shockingly) and I am disgusted, but sadly not surprised. Greedy creators have doxxed and harassed other players for at least 15 years, since The Sims 2.
I wish EA would stop being so wishy washy and finally made a stand regarding paid content. If they support it, fine, they won't get a single dime from me. If they don't, then push for some sort of consequence for those creators who have been sending porn and doxxing. I won't ever forget the time a minor had his site replace with very explicit porn and asked for help at Garden of Shadows. I saw the screenshots and it was horrifying.
I won't ever put a paid file on my games. I don't need them, there are plenty of great free creators around. If you need resources, feel free to ask. I think the best way to stop this insanity is to support and promote free sites and creators.

Clean up, Navigation, Etc.
Hey Friends new and old! I like my blog minimalistic because the focus should be on the photos (I chose a photo-friendly theme). However, as some of you may remember (and heads up to my new followers, hey y’all!), when a new pack comes out that I love, you’ll see more gameplay posts with new families/characters/storylines.
Here is where we are now!
Indya’s story, which is my main story, is on pause currently. You can navigate that by starting from the beginning, the wedding or where we left off by following these links (warning: the beginning is pretty bland lol):
You can check out my other stories too! Alex in Wonderland (and chronologically Alex - The Start of Something Magical) is a completed story and one of my first when the game came out. Freshman Year is my University gameplay in chronological order.
My gameplay according to new releases (not all pictured, I used my main story for Snowy Escape gameplay for example):
My current gameplay is Ecologically Eve which you can check out and follow along chronologically at the tip top of my blog.
Indya’s story will return so don’t be surprised when I flip to that (there’s a new chapter in their lives to celebrate!). I will usually give you all an update when I’m about to switch over.
I have yet to get the new Interior Design pack (I think I’m going to wait to see what the new EP is next month before I purchase).
MAIN STORY WARNING:
Just saying.... I block any followers who are under the age of 18 (I’ve just blocked about 3 new ones. Sorry y’all). I also keep a Wordpress Backup for the Spice. This blog is NSFW, I am an adult writer and I don’t want to traumatize the underage simblrs out there in the world! My gameplay however is rated G because its just me having fun enjoying a game I’ve played forever.
I think that covers it! I love y’all! I’m glad you’re here, thank you for following me! Some of you have been around for over 5 years and I dig it!

CHECK IN TAG ✔️
@peebsplays tagged me and I'm now getting around to responding!
Why did you choose your url?
It's a shorthand of pixel nerd - because I love my pixel characters and I am a big nerd.
Any side blogs? If you have them name them and why you have them.
Only @pixelnrdfinds where I reblog cc I like!
How long have you been on tumblr?
I've had this simblr since mid-2020.
Do you have a queue tag?
What is a queue tag sfkjhsdlfhsl? I utilise my queue all the time though, most of what I post is queued posts that I line up after I've done some simming.
Why did you start your blog in the first place?
I started my tumblr during the peak of the COVID pandemic when we were locked up in lockdown, and I was getting really invested in my decades challenge and looking up to so many simblrs for inspiration. So I decided to start sharing mine, because I had nothing to lose by diving into this as a hobby. Aaaaand a year later I'm still here. Honestly my decades challenge and simblr have been so grounding for me over the past year of uncertainty in the pandemic. I'm really glad I found it when I did.
Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
I was looking for surrealist 1920s photograph to match with the current decade of my decades challenge and found it and thought it represented my vibe.
What’s your post with the most notes?
My Mini Flapper Collection!
How many mutuals do you have?
️I actually don't know, nor do I know how to find out because I don't use extensions or apps etc relating to followers! Am I a noob is this a really obvious answer?
How many followers do you have?
I recently shared a cc release for hitting 1000 followers so it's around that.
But also, followers don't matter as long as you are having fun and feel like your content is worth creating!
How many people do you follow?
287. All of them are simblrs. I want to follow more but I'm very picky with the type of content I like to see on my dash?! That being said I will always follow a historical simblr so if I haven't followed you please tell me!
Have you ever made a shitpost?
What is... ?
How often do you use tumblr each day?
At least once a day. On weekends I use it less because I'm usually playing or living life. On weekdays I will check it in the morning because I'm in the opposite hemisphere to most people here so that's when I can see what's been posted. It's usually pretty dead during the day where I am but gets active again in the evenings so I will usually get back on at night.
Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
In general, I don't think talking about fights and arguments is something worth airing in public - especially on this forum - so I'm going to leave this one.
How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?
I understand their importance but I make a habit of not reblogging because my tumblr is purely for sims. I engage in activism and awareness-raising on other platforms and in my everyday life so I can live with myself for not reblogging.
Do you like tag games?
Yes! Like peebs I don't share much about myself here so if you want to know more I'll usually respond in this format or if it's an ask hah.
Do you like ask games?
Yes! They are fun.
Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
Probably a few of them. @happylifesims followed me recently that was a huge honor!
Do you have a crush on a mutual?
I've crushed on @deadlymodern since day one and I miss her being around here!
I'm not sure who hasn't been tagged to do this but I will tag @deadlymodern @applesaucesims and @sims-and-pixels if any of you want to do it too 💕

bad edit sorry but wanted to post something.
got nostalgic and have been on simblr much more recently.
kind of weird to think i've been here for about 5 years and have seen so much change.
i am going to college soon and glad to see this community is still around and something I can take part in sometimes. :)
if anyone actually reads this, I hope you have a good day and stay safe! :)

Simblr Community Challenge by @amelettes
Thank you @ashubii for tagging me!🥺
1. How long have you been playing the sims? Hmm a long time! I started with the sims freeplay on my phone really really wanting to play on my computer but I didn’t have the game sadly. I would always watch simmers on youtube such as Lifesimmer, XurbansimsX (still watch!), and many more (those two were my faves) and really wishing I had the sims 3! I wish I started with sims 2 because I feel like I haven’t played it enough which makes me sad because its a great game. I did play an earlier version of the sims when I was REALLY young so I don’t even remember which one but yeah! so probably around 7 or 8 years? (sorry for this long backstory LMAO)
2. How long have you been a simblr, and why did you become one? I have actually been a simblr for a long time! I made simblr and simstagram wayyy back in like 2012? Soo long ago and then quit a few years ago but just recently have come back to simblr only to post ts4! I wanted to become one originally because I loved the sims and wanted to post mine like other people did and write stories and make friends. I actually started by posting the sims freeplay then ts3, then quit, and now i’m back with ts4! if you search hard enough you’ll find my old sims 3 legacy of the levins because i decided to leave it up and just post sims 4 and i’m actually so far happy that i came back:)
3. What type of simblr are you? Umm probably just a gameplay/sometimes stories simblr? not quite sure i just kinda post what i want for fun haha
4. Which generation of sims do you primarily play? The sims 4! I actually really enjoy the game even though I actually do have many strong opinions on it and what they could’ve done better and what they should be doing better and adding but I have a good time playing it:) I still do play the sims 3 when I can! and if I had the time I’d go back to ts2 and all that but sometimes i barely even have time to play the sims 4 *cries*
I don’t exactly know who to tag so do it if you want! But again thanks for tagging me and for even interacting with me if you do! I wasn’t expecting anyone to look at my posts when I came back. I know I came back mostly for myself and for fun without wanting the pressure of posting lots but i’m having a good time and am glad I see nice simmers with their good sims and stories:D
