Simblr...

I feel like I haven't said this in a while. However, I love you. Your sims, gameplay, screenshots, edits, custom content, and stories. They never fail to bring a smile to my face...

You're all awesome. Thank you for sharing your sim creations. 🥰

Simblrs Who Inspire Me!💖

With the recent ts4 bs news, I wanted to stop being negative and be positive for a second lol. Now that I'm in a good place with my editing, storytelling and sim style in general I thought I'd just give a shoutout to all the simblrs who inspired me, whether that's in terms of editing styles, writing/storytelling styles, etc. because I wouldn't be where I am rn without this inspiration! The blogs I tag also have genuinely interesting gameplays (or stories!) that I have fun reading and have read more than once.

This is kind of long, but hey I've read a lot of sims stories/gameplays over the past almost 4 (!) years😅Everyone on here has at least one thing they did/do with their storytelling, editing, and/or sim style that I love and wanted to take inspiration from.

There's also this one simblr that I've been trying to find for 2 years now! They had "sloth" in their blog name (pretty sure), they had a legacy that was almost all storytelling, it was more adult and had a lot of spice, and their founder was called Mischa (I think) and they had I believe 4 generations? I'm not sure if they deactivated but when I deleted my old simblr account and made this one, I never followed that blog again and when I remembered and tried to find them, I couldn't! They might just be gone now but if anyone remembers them please tell me😭I used to read their story during Zoom classes during covid and even kept bookmarks on it, it was so good.

I’m absolutely in love with your reapers wardrobe set 😍 if you’re open to wcif, I was wondering if the skeleton holding the death flower in your post is a pose/accessory?

Hi! Thank you so much darling, it makes me so happy to know you're enjoying it 🥺💖

Yeah so the skeleton is just from jungle adventure, as for the pose and the deathflower, I just whipped that up in blender specifically for preview shots.

buttttt I went ahead and stuck the pose in a package for you and made the deathflower into an accessory 🥰

here you go: download (simfileshare)

as always let me know if you encounter any issues and tag me in your screenshots <3

In light of recent shenanigans from @xandezsims and @herecirmsims I've decided that if my adoration for Rook (and pirates in general) is the thing I'm remembered for, I will die a very happy person.

You both have no idea how hard I laughed when I saw your post + comment. Thank you for absolutely making my day. 💖💖 I hope I can keep providing slutty (and not-so-slutty) pirate sims for many years to come.

Real talk for a moment.

So it's not that I don't worry about engagement at all. I mean, I am posting my silly pixel people's adventures over a social media account and not just in my private virtual journal or something. But as long as I get people interacting with me/my posts and who seem to enjoy my gameplay and I experience some sense of community, I'm usually not so pressed about the actual numbers?

That said: yesterday I made the decision to use the photography function in the Moschino pack for the first of Simply Lilac's fashion features - and I hated it. I couldn't believe how many photos were ruined by the flash, especially considering that our photographer (Dodo) was maxed out in that skill and I'd set up the area like a proper studio. The entire time I was pausing and exiting the game to check that I had at least one shot of every pose that hadn't been ruined before I continued on to the next one. And while Happy Pills managed to salvage the shots somewhat, if you polish a turd even with the nicest silkiest cloth, then well - it's still a turd.

You wouldn't believe it from the end product, but in total it took me over four hours.

Basically I had to force myself to go through with my plans and post the screenshots at all. I was really tempted to scrap the post but at this point, I'd sunk too much time into it. I'd get a few supportive comments from my 'regulars,' I'd figured, and at least have tried something new. And then I'd never do another again.

But then came the reblogs, the likes and the comments. Considering how maddening I'd found the entire process and how disappointed I was by the end product, they really meant a lot to me 🥲. While I'll need to rethink the whole in-game photography issue (the sims look much better in CAS but I also like them interacting with each other in shots?), I'm now feeling reinvigorated about this whole side project and have plants to do more. And one hundred percent of that is down to you guys.

So I'm not really sure where I'm going with this except that if you see someone on your dash who is pushing themselves out of their comfort zone and trying something new, please give them a little love. People being supportive and seemingly enjoying at least some aspects of the post (Moschino pack, you're still on probation) renewed my own sense of joy from it and made the difference between me never doing something like this again, and now not only having plans for a second but actually looking forward to it.

Simblr, you're alright sometimes. 🥰

hi!!! first of all i just wanna say your tradgoth collection is an absolute godsend, THANK YOU SO MUCH for it!!! i was wondering, do you have any goth cc creators you like?

Thank you, that is so sweet!

Honestly, I would recommend any creators that have worked on collabs by @the-crypt-o-club which features several alternative cc creators!

Some notable creators that come to mind are: @crazy-lazy-elder-sims has a lot of amazing stuff, @omgcoffinfit for some all-around spooky cc, @aniraklova for some great over-the-top CAS, @azeternasims has some great stuff for a variety of subcultures and @evellsims has some great alpha cc that I recommend!

@vampishly-sims also has an amazing masterlist of Goth/Alternative CC that you can find here.
