hey! so i may or may not have been secretly dipping a toe into making custom content with my fiance for fun (very big on the amazing fiance, i'm just the artistic director lol). my first set is going to just be a recolor set of some of the poolside splash kit items, as i did like some of the meshes but the swatches just aren't my vibe. i'd love to have a couple people test it out for me, so if you're interested send me a message!

My Sims Diaries #1 - hello again + a blog ramble

Oh hey there, just me once again hoping to find a way to post more consistently. Perfectionism really gets the best of me when it comes to the things I create here and in real life. It's a work in progress for me and I'm hoping to really push myself to share things that aren't perfect or completely finished. I'm currently decorating a house for Sara & Simon from Cottage Living to go in my never going to be finished townie save file when they starting dancing together after I went in live mode to have her do some planting. These are the EA originals since I have my townie makeovers in a separate save, but it was cute in the moment and it made me to want to post about where I'm at with the blog.

I fell out of the flow that was I in with completing townie previews from each world and then I wanted to build. After nearly finishing then scraping an apartment, I got the random inspiration to build for these two and I'm excited to share how their home is coming along - hopefully very soon. That being said, I'm thinking about experimenting with yet another way to stay inspired within my townie project. I'm going to attempt to complete a single household with their full wardrobe of outfits, their home (and any businesses), and then potentially play them for a sim week or two to set up what will be my personal lore and ideas for their story. It could absolutely change again because I have a hard time maintaining focus when things feel stale, but I'm excited by the idea right now.

Do you have a save file or way to download your townie makeovers? They are so lovely!!!

Thank you 🖤

Currently I don't, simply because none of them are actually finished yet. Right now I'm working on completing all the 'base looks' for each sim by world. Once that is done, I plan to go through again posting a lookbook for each sim and then putting households up for download. The ultimate goal is to then move on to builds and eventually end up with my own personal save file. It will likely be quite a long time before the save file materializes as I work at a notoriously slow pace.

All that to say - not yet but stay tuned 🫣

hey Alex! what things you try to keep while remaking a sim? also wcif Savannah's hair? tsym!

hey nonny - I hope this is what you were interested to know, feel free to send another if there's something more specific, but here is Savannah's hair and a long winded response.

For townie makeovers I try to keep their "essence" if you will. In terms of physical features I try not to change them too much, just make minor tweaks followed by as many skin details as possible to make them fit my ever shifting sim style. I take a lot more liberties with style and personality to really try to flesh out their character to fit my own head canon - mainly with the more traits in cas mod + giving them all preferences. With townies from previous games I try to keep them true to their original personality with some style updates, while sims 4 townies tend to get much more of an 'overhaul' since the lore tends to be so lacking and silly. All this to say I'm really just going off vibes and not following any particular rules.

Thank you so much for this 🤎

It was @servegrilledcheese nsb2 and @sojutrait halabi posts that made me go from a cc hoarding lurker to wanting post my own stuff 🖤🖤🖤

Does anyone else still remember the simblr that convinced them to make their own simblr?

Mine was i-like-teh-sims. Followed them on their blogspot and flickr, and they linked something in a post to their tumblr, and I almost immediately signed up. 😆

hiii!!! i was wondering what reshade, gshade, you are using is so so pretty to me!!!!!

Hi nonny, thank you! I’ve changed presets a bunch so not sure which posts you’re referring to, but if you send a message or another ask I’d be happy to share 🖤

simblr’s new year resolutions (2024)

thanks so much for the tag @alientown

what’s your resolution for your simblr?

finally get around to establishing the blog aesthetic with potentially a little rebrand coming very soon but shhhh & get back to posting townie makeovers + I think maybe some build interiors.

get better at tagging on the finds blog and get a little navigation post on

be more present in the community & hopefully make friends with more of my mutuals despite how painfully shy I am on here.

what do you want from the sims franchise?

for them to stop servicing the sims 4 lol

more realistically I want more unique worlds - definitely African + South American based first but also more Asian + European inspired, but I'd even just take one more true urban feeling city like I'm begging

bands, hobbies, & anything that isn't for the young adult stage

bug fixes and the updates to neighborhood stories, sentiments, etc that were promised but of course not delivered - but please no more townie refreshes

any other new year’s resolutions?

be kinder to myself & release my perfectionist tendencies

spend more time in nature + just enjoy existing

simplify all aspects of my life as much as possible

I tag you - yes, you
