I need to settle an argument: Are Sims stories fanfiction?

It's 📖 fanfiction 📖

It's ❌️ not ❌️

I just want you all to know that if we're mutuals, I'm calling you my friend when I talk to people irl. I'm constantly like "My friend made this awesome build" or "I can't believe what happened in my friend's story" or "My friend just left the best comment"

Even if we don't message each other, we still support each other and play virtual dolls together, so I say it counts ❤️

Just attended a Renaissance Faire as one of my favorite legacy founders 🍎

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!~

From me and my lovely sims 💖 I'm so glad I've spent the past year sharing stories with you all and getting to read yours in return. You have all been there for me so much and I'm so lucky to call you all my friends!

Okay, so let's say I have some poly sims and, for some reason, I want them to have kids that have genetics from all 3 of them - is there a way I could do that without absolutely glitching out my game?

I just love all 3 of them so much and I would love to see their genetics together 🥰

Obviously this is super unrealistic and I'm not sure even possible but someone else has to have thought about this, right? 😅

Just wanted to show off a little bit of my Hermes cosplay! I've met a couple of Epic fans at my local convention and I love that I'm getting Wouldn’t You Like and Dangerous stuck in their heads! 🤣

Hey guys! I have a quick question. How would you go about tagging a sim before and after transition? They would be introduced with their dead name and then change their name after transitioning. I 100% don't want to deadname them in the tags but I also don't want things to be confusing if that makes sense? Thank you! 🥰

This or That - Tropes Edition

Thanks for the tag, @sleepyselkiesiren! 😊

Slowburn or love at first sight

I'm demi, so love at first sight has never made much sense to me. I love seeing the slowburn of them falling in love, even when I'm shaking my book, screaming at them to just kiss already 😆

Fake dating or secret dating

Secret dating kinda stresses me out. I LOVE a good fake dating though. I've been wanting to incorporate that trope into one of my stories for ages!!!

Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers?

There’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence?

I don't know why but I love a only one bed. I just think it's so cute when two characters who are nervous around each other wake up cuddling 😆 (which is why I included it in my own sims story 🤭)

Hurt/comfort or amnesia

Ehhhh...I guess hurt/comfort, but only if the emphasis is on the comfort. Amnesia is one of my least favorite tropes.

Fantasy au or modern au

I agree with Sleepy's answer here, in that it depends on the source material! I love a good au and seeing how characters I like fit into a different world!

Mutual pining or domestic bliss

Both again!!!

Smut or fluff

Fluff!

Canon-compliant or fix-it

This depends for me. Usually, I like my fics to stick to the canon but there are some events in media I like that I search out fics to fix 😆

Reincarnation or character death

Neither 🤷‍♀️

One-shot or multi-chapter

Multi-chapter! If I read a bunch of one-shots about the same character, I usually kind of pretend they all take place in the same universe 😂

Kid fic or road trip fic

I don't think I've read either of these before but they both sound fun!

Arranged marriage or accidental marriage

I'm not sure how an accidental marriage occurs (it does sound intriguing tho 👀) so I'm gonna go with arranged marriage!

High-school romance or middle-age romance

Is this still fun if most of my answers are both? 😅 I love a good childhood sweet hearts and finding romance later than you thought. Both are so cute!

Time travel or isolated together

...despite being a fan of Doctor Who, I do not like time travel. Specifically time travel that has lasting consequences on the timeline. I guess isolated together.

Neighbours or roommates

Both can be really cute!

Sci-fi au or magic au

Again, this depends on the source material. I guess I might lean more onto magic au, though 😊

Body swap or genderbent

Body swap maybe?

Angst or crack

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Usually, I don't really read crack fics but if it has angst, I need there to be comfort!!!

Apocalyptic or mundane

I think I've only ever read one apocalyptic fic 😅 I just read a lot of slice of life (usually it's Stardew Valley or Criminal Minds fics 😂)

I'm not sure who has done this yet so if you have (or don't want to), feel free to ignore! @pleasantviewrainfall111, @simcraft-in-wonderland, @natolesims and @seyvia
