hiii !! this might be such a weird question but how did u create ur save so like people have lore, relatives, friendgroups etc etc .. and the whole trope with safi and jude how do u make the sims .. cooperate LIKE BRO U MASTERMIND HOW DOES UR BRAIN GENERATE ALL TS 😭💗
hiii, this is such a fun question omg🥹sorry for such a late response, this got a little lost in my inbox but i really did want to spend some time on it! this response is a little long...
i can't play a game unless i am attached to my main characters, so i've spent a lot of time building up my save file and world building. in my mind, chestnut ridge represents the southwest united states, which is where safiya is originally from, while brindleton bay, evergreen harbor, and copperdale represent the east coast (particularly new england). this is how it works in my mind, so i try not to play in worlds other than these. britechester and san myshuno are a few hours north / south of them!
for my main sims, i just built off of the personalities i gave them in CAS and also implemented in characteristics from characters in other media that i like. this is so random but these were some of the inspos for my sims HAHA. i also try to give both safiya and jude traits in myself, since it's easier for me to relate & play with them! for example, i really enjoy music and swimming, so i try to show this with my sims. over time i feel like they've developed more into their own personalities.
i did the same for safiya and jude's friends! even just thinking about a few simple traits is enough. i really recommend creating a club for your sims and their friends, since it's easy to gather them all together that way. some mods i recommend for friendships include girls talk and guys talk by annasiims, dynamic teen life by adeepindigo, and hang out and chat on bed by simkatu.
when it comes to making relatives in game, i usually just use the genetics feature in CAS if i want the relative in the same household as my main sim. you can also use MCCC to add relationships with pre-existing sims. this video is a great tutorial that shows you how to use it :)
to add more to your sims' lore, i recommend using lumpinou's expanded milestones and then adding them to your sim by right clicking on the milestones tab with UI cheats. i also like to use UI cheats to add levels to certain skills. my favorite mods that add in some personality are: talents & weaknesses and lgbtqia+ overhaul by lumpinou, timelines, romantica, and origins by ellesimsworld, and healthcare redux and divergent sims by adeepindigo.
i also like to take storyline aspects from media i really like... i can't tell you how many things that've happened so far have been inspired by my fave tv shows/movies/fanfics... same thing goes with tropes! i love slow burn and friends to lovers so naturally that's what i decided on.
thank u for being patient with me and i hope this long reply has been helpful ദ്ദി╥ ᴗ ╥)
hello!! i just wanted to ask if you had a difficult time updating your mods and cc? :"D i've been so tempted to update but the last patches have been kinda scary w/ sm things breaking haha thank you sm in advance + i rlly love your sims and storytelling!! <3
oh anon... i have not updated since before the marketplace update and at this point i'm too scared to do anything with my game😭i know a few of my mutuals have updated though and it seems to be fine on their end! and thank you so much <3 :')
hi!!!
Do you play through your scenarios or mostly make edits and take screenshots?
hi, to be honest lately i've just been making edits! this is my favorite part of the process though.
when i do have a storyline set up, i try to make my gameplay as close as possible if that makes sense? for example, when safiya went home to chestnut ridge during her winter break, i planned a stayover with her dad's household so that she could stay with them for a week!
safiya & jude also weren't officially dating until i posted that they were... in my mind, if i haven't posted an update / taken pictures that go alongside a milestone or event, it hasn't happened in canon yet! this is why i feel like my gameplay has been taking forever haha.
hii! firstly, i adoreee your posts! they always look so lovely! secondly, do you have a photoshop template or resource that you use for your Life Is Strange UI? like when a picture has the butterfly and "this action will have consequences..." or in your most recent post with the options "break curfew" or "go home" with the mouse in the middle. they're so cute!!
p.s. i hope you have a good day!
thank you so much! i don't use a template for these, but i did get the icons off of google / pinterest! just search up "life is strange cursor/butterfly/icon png" and they should come up :)
the text that i use for these is also dudu calligraphy, which you can download here!
hey! i love your simmies and your edits, i was wondering if you'll ever release the university hoodies!
hi, tysm! i would like to release them eventually but still want to add some more swatches / tidy up the current designs a little bit. i’ve been a bit busy so i haven’t had time to do much with the sims, but once i do i would like to release them!
