Thought I'd update my pinned post with some info about me & my tumblr. Also a handy place to find links to my mods.

Basic info
I believe I'm much older than most simblrs out there! I played the original Sims way back when, then didn't play any versions until a month into the pandemic for something to do. I've always loved storytelling so this was perfect to rejuvenate my creativity.
I don't really play any other games, to be honest.
I do not have a gaming computer I just play on a laptop. I don't have any fun reshades, only editing I do to my screenshots is cropping and occasionally will brighten them. So they will not be high quality but I enjoy taking them/telling stories anyway.
I'm terrible at CAS but I love to build. I don't know how good I am at it, but I do it for my own amusement anyway. Gallery ID BabblingStacey.
I've had this tumblr for a very long time but only started sharing my gameplay through over the few years - mainly because I kept taking screenshots with nowhere to put them.
My game and blog is LGTBQ+ and BIPOC friendly. If that bothers you, then this is not the simblr you want to follow. For the record, while I'm a CFBC straight middle aged white CIS woman, I try to keep my gameplay as diverse as possible. If I do get something incorrect, please send me a message. (unless you are a TERF or racist, then you can kindly just fuck off).
My avatar is my simself, or as close as I can get to one.
Gameplay
(I've been swapping a lot, just to stop from getting bored)
Current: Gerdie the SuperSim, using @lostinsophiesave save file. Gerdie is from my Julissa the Unlucky Chef and Gerdie the Genius. gameplays, but in a brand new save. I just like this girl.
Current: Power Pop Legacy. My own little legacy, inspired by power pop songs from the 90s. Making it up as I go along. Using Prxnce Love Letter Save File
Previous play and mods/CC below the cut (it got really long)
On hold: Yvette's Wandering Life with Yvette Deaton, a continuation of Anna's Vagabond Challenge. Using @haledela's savefile.
On hold: Landry's Growing Together with Vanessa Landry. Just a little family I'm exploring the new update & pack with. Vanessa was created by NoMoreBadTownies on the gallery, the rest of the fam were created with her genetics. Total vibing, no real storyline so far. Vanilla-lite gameplay in ratboysims' amazing save file.
On hold: my own legacy challenge. Mainly on hold because I need to replace a lot of B&B CC in my homes anyway because I've been deleting a lot of problematic creators who leave their content locked behind paywalls for too long for me to be comfortable with using any longer. I've done Not So Berry (the updated version) in a previous save and started my current legacy with the Chromatic Legacy Challenge but during the 6th gen I decided I wanted to write my own that fits more of the way I like to play. You can see my plans here: BabblingLegacy, I update it as I get an idea for a generation. Using SweetieWright's save file. I do change up the houses/lots a lot, but it's a great way to have a starting point.
On hold: Tianna the Wolf with Tianna Pancakes, daughter of Iggy. I really wanted to play this pack - I'm not even that much of a occult simmer but man, this is a lot of fun. Using Fleuralia Save File. On hold because there are now triplet toddler wolves and...i needed a break.
Previous Play: Iggy's Frogs with Iggy Pancakes (again). Just one post.
Previous Play: Aliens Stole My Parents scenario. Can Anna & Kasen Deaton get their father back? Using @anotherplumbob save file.
Previous Play: Stuck in Their Shadow Scenario with Nova Curious. Just a a quick scenario play.
Previous Play: Teenage Kicks. 5 Willow Creek teens transferred to Copperdale High. How will they survive high school? Will they actually all go to school at the same time? Time will tell! Using lilsimsie's save file.
Previous Play: Globetrotter Challenge with Iggy Pancakes. Using lilsimsie's save file.
Previous Play: My Perfect Life challenge with my Sim June Yamamoto. Also with lilsimsie's save file.
Previous Play: Robles Family. Started as a Sim Scenario Making Money. Used @anotherplumbob save file, though I've downloaded random lots/households from the gallery to fill out the world's.
Yvette getting electrocuted, since I needed an image to break up the text.
Abandoned: Iggy's Making Money Scenario with Iggy Pancakes. Using Fleuralia Save File. Started because I was bored, abandoned because it did the trick, got me interested in a different challenge. Maybe I'll come back to it to finish it but it's not looking likely.
Abandoned: Expansion Berry Legacy, created by @becciisiim, featuring the Shaffer family. However, I'm not doing the generations in the same order as the original. Using @ratboysims's save file. Abandoned because I got bored. I may come back to when I feel more inspired.
I prefer to play one household and don't really play occults very often.
I have all the packs except for some kits and stuffpacks.
I play with mods, a partial list: MCCC , WonderfulWhims, UI Cheats, Personality Please!, Meaninguful Stories, First Impressions, Control Any Sim, many from LittleMsSam (@littlemssam) and Bienchen.
I use a lot of Maxis Match/Mix CC; some of my faves: Clumsy Alien (@clumsyalienn) , Okuree (@okruee), LittleDica (@littledica), Peacemaker (@peacemaker-ic), CharleyPancakes (@charlypancakes), myshunosun (@myshunosun) and probably a bunch more. I've been trying to use less build/buy CC but use it for my own gameplay frequently.
From HuffPo Tweeter @karengeier comes this example of what happens when you edit your copywriting fearlessly, without sentimentally holding onto language that isn't necessary to conveying your ultimate communication imperatives.
