I saw @dynastiasimss do this and thought it would be fun to join in! So, here’s how I sound like 😅 If anyone is curious- I was born a Malaysian Chinese and spoke only Cantonese for a good 8 years of my life, until I moved to Singapore. I definitely have the Singaporean accent, but I think with some Cantonese undertones since I still speak it very often!
I’ll put the words and questions under the cut. Won’t be tagging anyone, since I think this is fairly personal. If you’re interested though, please feel free!
Heya. Before I go on a little rant, I’m really sorry I’ve been less and less active on the site. The truth is I’ve been really frustrated with what I’ve been putting out for a while now. I won’t lie- the one thing that’s still anchoring me here is my passion for my story and I’ve been frustrated with that as well, especially when I look back on my first half of whatever posts I’ve already put on here and know I can do so much better.
There’s no bad news here though, well depending on how you look at it- it’s just something I have wanted to do for a long time. After discussing and talking to my two most trusted Simblr friends (I will shout them out one day <3 they have been nothing but the best to me), I’ve finally decided to just do it. They’ve given me really good advice, and I finally sat down for an entire day just putting everything I’ve written for the story into one, single outline (previously, it was ideas and story chunks spread across 189 notes on my phone, it was REALLY disorganised).
So, after looking at the 27-pages (21k words, 15 chapters) long outline of the Kibo Legacy- I’ve decided I want to restart it and do it better (I was planning to do a redux after I’m done with it anyway, but why not just start now?). There are a few things I want to change/add to the beginning mostly, and I also want to start writing the actual story in the captions, the dialogue on screenshots will stay and I will make sure the story still comes across in the dialogue if you’re not too fond of reading long texts <3
What will change? Nothing much, really. I’ve finished writing this story months ago, and I was happy with it so I won’t be making many changes to it. So, why am I still doing this then? Because when I first started this story, I have no idea what I was doing and there was a major part of the beginning that I cut out and really regretted cutting, so with this, I’ll be putting it back in.
I’m not sure how many of you follow the story, but I’m really sorry if I disappointed and/or anger you. I just hope you understand that this is something I have to do for myself. I’ll be doing a more official post for this soon.
TLDR; I’m restarting the Kibo Legacy story. It’ll still be the same, just improved because it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’m really sorry for doing this, but I hope most of you will be supportive <3
I’ll be a bit inactive over the weekends, and the reason should come as no surprise 💚😌
Three things while I’m still here:
My friend code is 3105-5517-5711 if you’d like to add me! Just please either reply or message me with your nametag so I know who I’m adding!
To the anon who sent me a constructive tip, thank you very much for both being helpful and kind! I’ll be sure to take note of it and do better for the future!
Last but not least, a random but always valid big thank you to everyone for always being so supportive and sweet towards me! I appreciate all of you, and I hope your day has been beautiful ❤️
While I’m still here, just thought I’d drop a quick hello! Sorry I haven’t been as active or commenting as much. I got really sick the past few days and was getting as much rest as I could. I’m still not really feeling 100% though, pretty sleep deprived since I have coughing fits that interrupt my sleep but I’m getting better!
Also a side note for anyone who cares about Natsuo and Danny, they will be returning this weekend. I just don’t wanna make story posts while my head is still clouded and what with Tumblr being broken. There are posts I can’t see on the dash (including my own) and I don’t wanna risk posting the story ones since I actually care about those. One last thing!! Tumblr has been so broken for me lately that there are posts that I will leave a like, but those likes disappear when I refresh?? So, if I haven’t been liking your stuff, that’s probably why and I’m sorry! Please don’t think I’m ignoring you!! Because that’s not my intention.

Your name: Crystal (but honestly just continue calling me Sam/Samm and related variations, it’s shorter and sounds cooler)
Languages you speak: I can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese fluently! I can also speak enough basic Japanese to get around Japan, since my family loves going there for vacations.
Are you a mermaid: I can’t swim, so more like an anchor, really.
Your play style: Andrew’s Pose Player.
Your Simself picture:
Stories or gameplay, builds, lookbooks, edits or cc: Mostly stories, with the occasional ‘gameplay’ screenshots (if you can call them that), self-indulgent edits and challenges. I may have been… straying a bit from the story recently, but I want to refocus back on that, since it’s what I love and enjoy the most.
Your favorite age state: Young Adult. A lot of the gameplay aspects are catered to this age state though, tbh.
Your favorite season: Winter! Mostly because it’s perpetual summer where I live, so I appreciate the snow a whole lot more.
Your favorite holiday: Winterfest! I’ve never celebrated Christmas properly irl before, and I really wish I could because it seems like so much fun! So, Winterfest in Sims is a small way that I can experience it.
How was your day: Good, but tired. Work has been rough.
Your favorite career: Social Media/Internet Personality. It should have been Freelancer/Fashion Photographer, but the Freelancer career still has that annoying bug where it doesn’t register tasks if you travel to another location.
Your favorite aspiration: City Native.
Your favorite EP, SP or GP: City Living! My favourite townies are all from San Myshuno. Also, I make my Sims live in an apartment 95% of the time. Seasons and Discover University are really great too, though!
How old is your simblr: My first post was on 18 November 2019, so exactly 3 months today!
Have you woohooed: Am biromantic-ace, so nah.
Your favorite skill: Singing! I actually really love a lot of the songs that the Sims sing, and I tend to make them sing just so I can listen to it. My personal favourites are Weekender and all the sung songs from the Theatre Drama and Jazz categories.
The size of your Mods folder: 13.4GB, but the real monster is my screenshots folder… it’s 45.7GB atm.
Your 3 favorite mods: MC Command Center, Pose Player and Personality Please!
Your interests (other than sims): Drawing, writing and I play a lot of other video games as well.
Your favorite sim (picture if possible): If it wasn’t already blatantly obvious, Natsuo Kibo. He’s my precious baby boi.
Which Sims games you have played (including mobile games): The Sims 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Propose a crazy scheme: Play TS4, completely vanilla. Actually no, I take it back, that’s too crazy for me.
Best part of simblr: All the wonderful and incredibly talented people I’ve gotten to know and even have a chance to talk to! And the fact that we can get excited/talk to one another about Sims on here, when no one else irl would.
Worst part of simblr: I kind of just look away from the drama and (unwarranted) negativity, for the most part. Real life is hard enough as is, I don’t want to stress about things that wouldn’t really affect me at the end of the day.
What other games you play: Hoooboy. I’ll just list five that I really like currently (mostly Switch games nowadays), so this doesn’t become an essay: Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Animal Crossing (super excited for New Horizons!), Pokemon, Stardew Valley and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. P.S. Golden Deer is the best house, and Claude is the best boy. P.S.S. I love Felix too, though.
Other websites or accounts (origin, twitter etc..): My Origin ID is Sammsaara, but I barely have anything uploaded so you aren’t missing much.
Are you single: Yes. I’m more invested in Natsuo and Danny’s relationship than my own, really. And I have zero shame in admitting that.
I’ll resist the urge from tagging all my mutuals: @hushthots, @oliveandoak, @plushpixels, @simvicii, @volcano-pasta, @junktrait, @sojusimmer, @hnn-tr, @queenofvraquin, @weicyn, @dynastiasimss, @forests-sim-stories, @foxburries, @katmk36, @meekraincloud, @micrathene-w, @tartiish and whoever else wants to do this!
