thank you @shuu for tagging me ♡

this one is quite long so i’ll post my answers below the cut!

rate in order favorite to least favorite, Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3, Sims 4:

ohh this is hard, but maybe 3 > 2 > 4 > 1

favorite expansion:

the answer is seasons for all of them, but if i ignore seasons... most eps were iconic for ts3, but if i have to pick i guess late night, generations, and maybe ambitions and island paradise. i was surprised by how much i loved ts4′s cottage living, despite being extremely hesitant to it at first, and is the only ep that has actually made me want to do real gameplay. ts2 was just amazing and i think i loved 90% of the packs, but if i have to choose then nightlife and pets.

this just made me remember how much ts4 sucks compared to the earlier games, but i can’t deal with the graphics anymore

small pets or horses:

i mostly play with small pets if i have any at all, but horses were iconic and i’m sad they’re not in ts4.

favorite active career:

i haven’t actually played any of the active careers in ts4 other than DHD which i loved despite all the bugs, and i have the memory of a goldfish so i can’t remember if i did any in ts2 or ts3. i probably did, and loved it.

favorite LTW/aspiration:

definitely the country caregiver in ts4, otherwise i tend to do renaissance sim or writer, and i can’t remember what any were called in ts2 or ts3 (there’s a theme here). i often did one of the love ones in ts2 tho for some reason tho.

whims, wishes or wants and fears:

wants and fears 100%! it’s a staple for me in character creation already, be it writing or dnd, though whims was a fun idea... i use mods tho to make them actually work ahem.

favorite occult:

call me basic but vampires. i wanted to love mermaids (they were okay in ts3), and especially spellcasters but it never feels right to me i guess. i have only vague memories of the other occults, but they were probably great lol

cowplants, bonehilda or social bunny:

social bunny! i never had any attachment to the other two honestly, and the social bunny came to my households quite a bit because i was too focused on removing pool ladders building skills to have my sims socialize. 

favorite non-PC sims game:

i never played any non-PC sims game other than urbz, but i guess that’s the next question haha

favorite spin off game:

urbz on xbox! holy shit i loved that game so much, i only got to play it when i visited my aunt in the beginning and that was all we would do during those weekends. i would always nag her if we couldn’t play urbz but she wasn’t as obsessed as me lmao. she later gave me the xbox and i played a little but by then i was PC master race forever. the nostalgia is real tho! and say what you will about the black eyed peas, but the soundtrack slapped in that game (maybe it’s just my nostalgia speaking)

how do you pick the names for your sims:

i either take inspiration from dnd characters (the names of which i get from this website or from the deep crevices of my high security prison aka my mind), or i find lists online like the basic baby names sites or whatever. surnames i either randomly generate in the game itself and modify, or i follow the steps above lol.

create a spouse or find them in game (townies):

marriage or long-term spouses i usually create, and flings are always townies. i’m gonna try to find them in game going forward, especially since there are quite a few hotties in the save file i use (thanks @simlicy​) 

do you prefer following storytelling simblrs or gameplay simblrs:

both. both is good.

what year did you join simblr:

how do people remember this? i’ve been on this hellsite way too long, since probably 2009, and i’ve tried to have simblrs many times but i could never commit. this time tho i’m committed, so there’s that. i made this simblr maybe 1.5-2 years ago? but honestly i don’t know because time isn’t real

i’m tagging everyone who wants to do it, because i’m not sure who already did and i don’t want to spam anyone lmao. if you see this consider yourself tagged by me, and please actually tag me if you do it because i would love to see your answers! ♡
