Tumblr users decide what happens to the cast of Bendy characters in my Sims 3 world and possible chaos ensues. Submitted requests: 2 Lily | Aro Ace | She/Her
I made a post on my main blog entertaining the idea of making a Tumblr-user-controlled Sims 3 world with the BATIM cast where I don't interfere with anything and simply provide live updates while the sims have full free autonomy outside of suggestions. Said post got three whole likes, which is all the approval I need to make impulse decisions :D
GROUND RULES:
-I'm doing this in the Sims 3 and not the Sims 4 because I like the third game better, it's more difficult, less glitchy, and I constantly forget my password to even play the Sims 4.
-That being said, I have two expansion packs, being Pets and Late Night. Late Night introduces celebrities and city life. I also have vampires.
-All relationships, jobs, skills, stuff for the house, traveling, etc. will be completely up to users to decide, and I won't interfere by any means other than monitoring and posting updates/replies.
-I have a lot of custom content for houses and sims, but no mods installed as I have no clue how to make them functional. If I don't have something in particular for a design, then I can go out and download whatever CC I need for it.
-Sims 3 limits each household to having 10 members maximum, but I can switch households if the audience requests it
-I will be accepting ALL requests. Want Joey to be a vampire who bullies Bertrum after making out with Henry?? Consider it done.
-While I COULD try to make characters look close to their official media counterparts, I think it's more fun to leave their designs up to the audience to decide.
-Any and all characters are basically free to suggest, they just have to be from the Bendy franchise. Hell, maybe I'll consider fan characters/AU characters later on if we can get this far enough.
-Sims 3 is a much older game, meaning you can't find CC for it that's explicitly for BATIM the way you can with Sims 4. If I'm requested to put in the toons, keep in mind that they probably won't look right due to limitations. CC is a bit limited in general, but I will try my best to honor the wishes of the audience.
-Suggestions will be taken exclusively though asks! Anonymous asking is enabled though, so don't worry.
-I typically play with aging either extended to the maximum or turned off entirely, but I'll be using the default age settings while giving the sims full free will.
-While I also usually play with cheats on, I'm going to be turning them off. If they go broke, then they go broke 🤷♀️
That's all the rules and warnings I can think of for now, but more could possibly be added depending on circumstances. The first decision post will be going up right after the rules are submitted!
I'm excited to see where this will go and hopefully get to expand outside of my normal playstyle of micromanaging and making everything perfect 24/7 👍

Right after I began this blog, I started college so I haven't had the time to work on personal stuff much cause I'm in art school and I've constantly got smth big to turn in 😭😭 I'm pretty sure I should be getting a solid month off for winter break though so if no progress happens over thanksgiving break then definitely over winter!
You should make a post that lists which slots are filled up, and what characters have been claimed/added so far! Just for clarity's sake, you don't have to if you don't think it's necessary. I just wanna be sure that whatever character I'm requesting hasn't been added already :) thanks!
Genuinely I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner 💔
I'll add a link to this post in the pinned post with all the rules and stuffs so it's easy to find again, but here's the list and other tidbits about each sim so people can keep track of that:
Household 1: 2/10 sims completed, 5 slots still open
Wally Franks - Young Adult. Friendly, handy, absent-minded, childish, clumsy.
Sammy Lawrence - Young Adult. Grumpy, loner, no sense of humor, perfectionist, virtuoso.
you should add Sammy!! If you want, lol. Personally I think he'd look a lot like his design in the popular dreams come to life video on YT. Y'know, rounded glasses, long blonde hair, looking generally kinda dickish (no offense, love him to death)
Anywayyy, I'm pretty excited for this and I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great ^-^
Here he is!! I managed to get him pretty close I think aside from the tie. I spent over an hour looking for CC of his hair only to find out that I already had something that would have worked fine, so that was fun 👍 On the bright side, I now have a whole bunch of new male cc sooo
For some reason it wasn't letting me screenshot it right, so here's his personality traits:
I based his design off of my depiction of him in The Final Pages, but couldn't get him down exactly. I thought about making him a coward but wasn't sure how accurate that would have been :p I was also originally going to make him a teenager but then I remembered that he would be going to high school throughout the game, so I made him a young adult instead. Here he is!
I'd also like to give an honorable mention to THIS OUTFIT that the generated sim already had as his SLEEPWEAR before I changed it 😭
I'll add these choices all into one post just so it's easier.
For towns, we have Appaloosa Plains, Sunset Valley, and Bridgeport. The first two are generic suburban neighborhoods and Bridgeport is a downtown city. I think if we max out the number of household members to 10 sims, then the suburban neighborhoods are probably the better option, since they have bigger lots.
Next decision is if I'm moving everyone into a premade house or if I'm creating one from scratch. (I've only ever made a house of my own one time, so the house might not look... fabulous...)
The big main decision!!! Our first cast will be decided by the first 10 users to reply with unique characters. (Meaning, if within those 10 people, 3 suggest Bendy, then I'll move on until we have 10 different BATIM characters)
Within those asks, users who give me characters can also provide pointers about how that character's design should look, and I'll try my best to replicate what's been requested!
In the words of my husband Sammy Lawrence, "Let us begin. The ritual must be completed." /j /nsrs
