Hello! I wanted to ask how much you plan for character origin to affect the story, like how different do you want it to be for someone who chose bergsrå compared to someone who chose sjörå, that kind of thing?
Also, since the sjörå get pretty aggressive when far from water do you plan to integrate that into the story? With like a similar situation for the other origins. (My sjörå bias is strong)
at the risk of saying too much - the origins won't impact the story in terms of things like possibility of "good" vs. "bad" endings, available romances, etc. BUT there will be very distinct differences in routes for a bergsrå vs. sjörå vs. skogsrå. things like origin-specific scenes, choices, and skills throughout the story, and, yes, different origin-specific challenges that will make it harder for the MC to pass off as a Very Normal Human™
as you mentioned, the sjörå's increased aggression when away from water will be one of those! i won't say how (yet) but it will definitely probably definitely come into play at some point - and MCs from the other two origins will have their own specific issues to contend with as well.
thank you so much for the ask!!! <3

ep 3 mentopolis vocab explainer
hi, sorry this is late, i have been ~busy~
episode 1 vocab / episode 2 vocab
flight/fight/freeze/fawn - AHHH so excited brennan included fawn!! (it's gaining awareness slowly but is rarely even taught at universities, so it was exciting for me!)
i have already included a mini explainer in a previous post so here is a breakdown of each response of the 4 Fs so the jokes (and the characters) make sense going forward!
flight - escaping the situation
fight - taking the situation head-on
freeze - what it sounds like lol, shutting down and being unable to respond
fawn - using excessive kindness to defuse a situation
executive functioning - a set of skills controlled by the pre-frontal cortex. some of the skills including planning, task initiation, focus, task prioritisation etc.
edit for the AP: the marshmallow test is an (outdated) experiment where kids were tested on whether they would eat a marshmallow when adults left the room.
they compared which kids ate it/didn't eat it and their outcomes later in life. veryyyyy flawed, proven incorrect but referred to constantly nonetheless (welcome to psychology folks!)

simblr new years resolutions 2024!
thank you @stargazer-sims so much for tagging me!! ❤️✨🌟
not sure who has done this one yet but i'll tag 💌 @seyvia @simmersofia @mangosimoothie @minty-plumbob @queeniecook @dandylion240 @mmmatchasims @thebramblewood @aheathen-conceivably @nectar-cellar @igglemouse & anyone who sees this and wants to do it!
honestly, i have never made a new years resolution in my life, so this is a fun exercise to try out for once!
what's your resolution for your simblr?
this is VERYYYYY ambitious but i want to fully complete the core "everything the stars promised" and move on to doing side content and MOST IMPORTANTLY the more loosey goosey fun epilogue :)
april 15th of this year will mark the second anniversary of the story! i've done so much and yet at the same time, so little in the grand scheme of the plot i have in mind. i randomly checked today to see how many pages on my blog the story takes up and we're at 31 pages! so, uh, about 15 pages a year - not sure if that's good progress or not but oh well! we are getting close to the extra exciting parts of the story, and i would love to finish it all up this year, you know? finish on a nice round even anniversary number and with a bunch of plot point bangers lolol
but we'll see! it's possible, maybe, since i'm graduating college this semester and will have more free time for a while, at least i as figure out the work situation and probably even while working whenever i do get a job since nightly homework will no longer exist LMAO, but even if it's not possible, i am definitely promising myself to work harder on the story! i really do love this thing despite it all and i'm proud of it, and i want to see how much i can keep improving it so that the ending is truly the best part <3
what do you want from the sims franchise?
a sale on kits lmfaoooo!!! (which will never happen) i have exactly 5 dollars left over from an old gift card someone gave me for ea app when it was still origin. it's exactly enough for a kit except that sales tax adds on 7 cents and the gift card leftovers don't cover that.
yeahhhh...i'm neither charging 7 cents for sales tax nor 5 bucks for a second kit to my credit card. no, ma'am. i want that shit for FREE
any other new years resolutions?
don't become incredibly depressed by the shock of leaving the school system after almost 23 years of life and the horrors of figuring out the whole...life and career...thing
lol this resolution will be broken
so, how about an achievable one? read more books and write more actual prose, whether for my sims story or for something else. i've been so burnt out from academia that it's all stopped being fun. like even my sims story has been such a drag to create because i just have zero desire to write, to work on the outline, or find inspiration.
and that really sucks. writing and reading have been a huge part of my life for so long and they mean a lot to me, but right now they do feel exhausting. i'm tired of looking at a word document and wanting to bash my head into the keyboard because it reminds me of writing project proposals and boring shit instead of good fiction.
but i'm hoping the freedom from academia will spark joy in my literary hobbies again, and i'm going to try and bring back my love for them myself :) not sure how but aside from finding a way to work on the sims story more, i'm thinking maybe i'll commit to trying out more short-form writing prompts.
