As a "sim parent" (sim maker) we shouldn't have favorites - but we do. Post your favorite sim baby (the golden child) and least fav. Pass it on!
Thank you, dear Lana @eljeebee and Pru @treason-and-plot, for both sending me this ask.
Well, my dears, I can try to be original, but I think everyone knows who my golden child is.
My love for James is endless. I love the complexity of his character. I love that he has secrets, but can be very open when he feels safe. I love that he conveys the message that romantic attraction and sexual attraction don't always go together and that's okay. I love that he's confident and insecure at the same time. I love his musicality and that he'll pursue his musical dreams no matter what. I love his passion and his drive. I love his big heart. I love that when he commits to something or someone, he sticks with it/them. I love that he's smart. I love that he's slightly cross-eyed by nature, even though I have no sliders or custom eye things in my game that cause this; it's naturally him, which gives him a realness I adore. I could truly go on for ages. ❤️
As for my least favourite... Well... I have over 100 Sims in or around my Honeycomb Valley and since storytelling became my main objective, more than most of them have become side characters or even just "extras". At least for now. Since the story is essentially still about Honeycomb Valley, you never know who will step up at any point and become more central. However, at the moment most of them exist somewhere in the background and I could easily point at one of them randomly and say "it's you, because you bore me." 🫣 (Sorry!)
Ignoring those characters though and bringing it closer, my least favourite is probably Anna.
The daughter of the mayor and a moody, spoilt bitch, to be frank. She popped out a son as a result of a teen pregnancy, handed him to the nanny and never looked back. In fact, she even turned her back on him because after high school, she packed her bags to spend a gap year in France. She's currently at university, hating on everything.
Now, a character like Anna could make for interesting storylines, but atm she annoys me too much to fully write her in. So I understand why you may not have heard of her before. If I need to point out a more central character who I'm not liking very much atm, I'm sorry to say it's...
Seth... Sorry, dude, but something is bothering you, which is bringing out your resentful side, and that's not a good colour on you... There's still some love for Seth deep down, though, because we go way back, and he's the best boyfriend in the world to dear Sarah. I have loads of plans for their future story, so I'm sure Seth and I can patch things up. But at the moment, we're not really seeing eye-to-eye. 😔
Thanks for this fun ask!
