Seven Sins Challenge: Which of your OCs fits pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. Then pass it on...
OH, now THAT's a challenge! I'll try my best to answer it!
Pride: a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Nancy is definitely on that road. Which may even backfire for her 😉
Greed: intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
Zelda. Her dreams of becoming a successful musician, but getting rejected a lot, just makes her greed all the worse.
Wrath: extreme anger.
Bebe. For feeling so out of touch with everything, blaming her parents (specifically her mother).
Envy: a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck; desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable thing belonging to (someone else).
Morgana, for not being with whom she wants to be.
Lust: have strong sexual desire for someone; hungry for power; A powerful desire for something.
I mean, that would be Morgana too :p But the longer Christopher is around, that would apply to him as well.
Gluttony: over-indulgence and over-consumption of food or drink.
Pass.
Sloth: reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness.
Not yet ;) Although, I would say at its current state, it would be Thornton, for not trying to save their marriage at all.
Inktober has been so much fun. I have been posting it on instagram and forgot to post on here so if you want to check it out look there! RebekahArtErmey

When did you start playing Sims?
I started playing Sims 1, not long after it came out, so 2000 :O. We didn’t have a computer at home so whenever I visited my aunt I would literally play it all day. She was also a huge gamer and nerd so didn’t mind. I was actually given her pc after she died and I kept playing her sims neighbourhood (as well as her creatures game). Birthdays got a lot easier after that because everyone just got me the new expansion packs.
I remember seeing about the sims 2 on the cover of a magazine and getting so excited for it because the kids actually grew up!!
Have you been playing consistently or do you have breaks inbetween?
I played pretty much daily from 14 to 22. Then I discovered the sims community and stopped playing so much and started posting pictures and chatting with other simmers instead and also downloading everything I could find. I played for so long without an internet connection so I didn’t even have the official patches! I had my first break from playing when my first laptop killed itself (it melted itself!) and I felt like I was going crazy not being able to play. That probably lasted about 2 months XD
But, now I haven’t actually played a family since I was pregnant, nearly 2 years ago. I’ve almost finished cleaning up my downloads folder and my daughter is actually sleeping at night, so fingers crossed!
Do your family & friends know that you play The Sims?
Hahahaha!!! Yes! I bring it up ALL the time. Sometimes I’ll be talking to my sister about one of my sims and someone will be there who’ll ask who I was talking about. Yeah, I’m not really embarrassed about my gaming habits. I even showed my mum my tumblr after she overheard me telling my partner about some new followers. She wasn’t too impressed, but she never really understood the sims. She’s more of a fan of goal driven games, like theme hospital or the campaign modes of the tycoon games. My partner used to come home and ask me how Wendy or Lauren was getting on <3
Do you spend more time in build or live mode? Why?
I think it’s a pretty equal split. Some days I’ll be working on a new community lot and other days I’ll just play. I do find that I get burnt out with building quite quick, so I like to break it up by popping into a household.
Do you play with supernatural creatures (like Vampires, Werewolves etc.)? Why not?
Yes I do, I had lots of supernatural sims in my Odessa Bay hood. A werewolf colony and a witch family, 2 or 3 plantsims, 2 vampires and a zombie. Also lots of aliens. I haven’t really worked on getting supernaturals in this hood, but there are still aliens and plantsims.
Do you have one specific family you play with all the time (like a legacy of some sort) or do you rotate between a couple of households?
I’m all about rotational play. Even when I was first playing the game, I found it was so weird that a sims parents will still be adults while that sim is dying of old age. I always liked the legacies where people actually played the spares, because it made sense to me that the legacy heirs would have aunts and uncles and cousins that they grew up with. My first legacy that I played seriously, I would move in the sims friends and play their households too so that the legacy kids had kids to be friends with in the neighbourhood. I was so excited when I came across the Build a City Challenge rules :D
Do you like to create your own neighborhoods or do you play with the existing families? Tell us about your progress :)
I like to make my own hoods. Generation 3 is being born and growing up at the moment in my game. I have a downtown connection unlocked which means I can send my sims on vacation and downtown, but I haven’t actually started making those sub-hoods yet. I’m also working towards getting a university unlocked. I’m almost there and it will be a college in the main hood, so I don’t have to worry about building up another sub-hood.
Do you create custom content? If so, what keeps you motivated? (If not, would you like to? What stops you from learning it? For players that don’t use mods, why do you stay away from CC?)
I can do a few things. The simpler things, hair recolours, painting recolours, etc. I like to get requests, I guess. I’m always more motivated to actually finish something when someone’s asked me for it. I have a folder full of hair I want to do eventually and a folder of exported shoes that I just need to chop up in milkshape, but...eh...
If there was one piece of CC or (if you play without mods) one piece you wish the developers implemented, what would it be?
I really like the festivals from sims 4 and sims 3. Especially the sims 4 ones. I haven’t played them, but they look interesting. Food eating contests, special food and merchandise, graffiti, etc. I also really like the way you need specific ingredients for recipes in the sims 3.
Oh also I love the way that each instrument has it’s own skill tree, so that someone great at playing the guitar isn’t also amazing at the violin, even though they’ve never touched it before.
What other expansion and/or accessoires pack do you wish the developers would have come out with?
There’s so many things I wish were added to the game. I like the generations expansion for sims 3, the extra things for elders, the school trips, prom, driving lessons for teens, the teens being able to throw house parties while their parents are on holiday, the bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc. It’s all good (shame the sims 3 isn’t great for me). I like the parenting skill (and toddler skills) from sims 4 too, more generational stuff please. I also like ambitions, where the sims are commissioned to redecorate a room, or makeover a sim, that looks like fun. I could stage it in my game, but it’s always nice when something is actually in game.
And I wish they had done more with the witches, I feel like they did ok, but after making magic, it was pretty lacklustre. At least give me my duelling stage back!
Oh and pets! Pet shows, horses, collectable small animals, the fish tanks from sims 1, where you bought 1 fish out of a full tank in the pet shop. Also sims 2 is the only game that didn’t get a chemistry set :(
Lastly, tag 5 of your favorite simblrs!
Tagging @aondaneedles, @hexagonal-bipyramid, @treason-and-plot, @mikexx2 and @mswn

Beautiful! Totally agree with andantezen.
Thank you both so much! That means a lot coming from the two of you. +A+

I love your interiors! I got hopelessly stuck in the tomb, but I had a look in build/buy, and now I really want to play a catacomb civilization there.
OH GOSH I WAS WONDERING. I’m so sorry, I know I made a few spots difficult but I tried not to! I think I got a little carried away. I’m glad you love the look of it though!! <3

oh my gosh, I love Medieval builds and gameplay! can't wait to see the end result.
I’ll be posting more pictures soon! :3 Glad you like. :D

I would die 🙁
I kind of did tbh, but in the end it turned out for the best, miraculously. I liked how it turned out the second time, but that doesn’t always happen.

Aww, in the fourth picture the floorplan looks like a smiling monkey! :)
We're back in business. I managed to get this new town up and running and I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm using this tiny world Simmington from MTS. Saves in a heartbeat. :D Will keep on cleaning my mess of a game one step at a time. Anyway, I got two households living on a big apartment lot. Both of them with culinary aspirations. So, this town consists mainly out of coffee shops, wine bars and a dodgy dance club under the bridge. But what else does one need in life? ;) 🍷☕️ Thank you @willky12, @sims3-4-creations-mycats, @maryannsims2, @ninjaofthepurplethings, @hyperkaos, @phinebulles, @simcatcher, @treason-and-plot and @my-simension for your sweet comments and New Year's hugs! ♥
