RULES: Its Not Just Our Brooding Sims Who Have The Option To Talk About Feelings; We Can Also Talk About

RULES: It’s not just our Brooding Sims who have the option to ‘Talk About Feelings’; we can also talk about our feelings too!  Look deep into yourself and ponder on the thoughts which motivate you to play the game we all love. Then tag at least 5 people on your friends list to help them explore their feelings too. I was tagged by the lovely @annabellee25​.  I tag @budgie2budgie​, @anotherplumbob​, @kyranyx​, @paper-lioness​, @jenba, & @mwgaybachelor.

The questions are as follows:

1. The boss of EA is in front of you asking for one statement about The Sims before he goes away and makes TS5. What do you say to him?

Please take your time developing TS5 and create a fully-formed game that takes inspiration from the best features of the past games: open world, CASt, more content, more building tools, more worlds, deeper gameplay, etc.  I know it may be a tall order… but be motivated to create the best game possible, listen and value long-time players’ ideas and suggestions, give the developers carte blanche to unleash their creativity, and invest in the future of this game instead of being driven solely by profit (although I actually think these changes would result in higher profits).

2. Do your Sims know you as their Sim God or are you the invisible deity to them? Well I am kind of omniscient and omnipotent in my game, at least when there’s no game bugs throwing me for a loop.  But I like to let my sims have some autonomy too; it results in some spontaneous moments that are very entertaining.

3. How do you see yourself connected to your Sims? Do those of you who say you love them, really mean this? How deep is your game? It always surprises me how attached I get to my sims and how much affection I feel towards them.

4. What’s your Sims Secret? Is there something going on in your game that none of your screenshots will ever tell us? WHO IS LOCKED IN YOUR BASEMENT???? What are those secret Sims doing behind closed doors? Don’t worry – no poor sims are locked in the basement or trapped in a pool. My sim secret is that I use the motherlode cheat for every single sim I play.

5. Can we learn anything from our Sims to take away for our real lives? And/or can you give us an example of how The Sims has influenced you outside of gaming. 

Playing the sims introduced me to the sims community, which encouraged me to come out of my private shell and start a simblr to interact with other simmers.  It reminded me how important it is to have a creative outlet.  I also learned how to use Photoshop as a result of creating my blog.

is ur converted warehouse up for downloads?

My converted warehouse is not available for download yet but I’m happy to share it soon.  I’ve received a few requests to share builds so I’m doing them in the order I received them (yours is the 3rd).  I think I’ll be able to finish it by the end of the month.  I wish it was sooner but real life has kept me busy lately. Thanks for your interest & patience!

Any fetishes?   Wouldn’t you like to know!

RULES: There’s surely a sim out there you’d like to fondle…with your eyes only of course!  Well, it’s time to tell it to everyone.  Don’t be shy!  Choose a sim (made by another simblr) that you’d like to fondle if he/she was real… and then tag 5 simblrs.

I’ve seen his tag go around simblr a few times before in my year and a half here. The first time, my reaction was something to the effect of “Um, what?  Some of you simmers are a bunch of pervs!”  The second time (I was actually tagged this time around), I thought “You know, there is a cute sim (Angelo Occhilupo) that comes to mind.”  And this time my first thought was, “Ooh, how many sims can I pick?”  So yeah, I guess I’m officially a card-carrying member of the pervy simmers club (I think we need club jackets or something cool like that).  Oh my, to what depths of depravity have I plunged? 😂

Anyways, without further ado, the sims I rather fancy are… still Angelo Occhilupo by @thespangleway​, Jayce created by @thosefuckingsims and developed by @penelope-and-wonders​, Lee Sallinger created by @floppant​ and developed by @budgie2budgie​, and Warren Dupont by @budgie2budgie​. 

Judging by my picks, I’ve come to a few conclusions.  First, the above simblrs must possess some sort of magic to actually be able to create hot male sims because honestly if EA had its way they’d all have the sex appeal of a Ken doll. My final conclusion is that I must have a weakness for complicated bad boys with a heart of gold (excluding Warren, who’s a real sweetie).  Ugh I know, how terribly original of me.  

Send this to ten other bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep the game going! ❤️

Thanks for brightening my day with your sweet message!  Right back at you too!  🤗
