Hey guys!

I haven't been on Tumblr in a while... o.o Kinda missed it all, to be honest :D

I'm here to give a little update. The past few weeks have been mentally really tough for me, so I used the time to go to therapy...

It's pretty exhausting at the moment, but things are starting to look up ^^

I'm excited to find out what I've missed here—and to get back into Sims 2 as well! :D (and converting Stuff lol)

Hey, just a request for you! 🖤

The dress in this set by Madlen is STUNNING: https://www.tumblr.com/madlensims/761809403203698688/duskdiva-v3-set-wrapped-up-this-set-and-i

Thank you! I love your conversions. 🖤

Sorry for the late reply! That’s a lovely idea, and I’ll add it to my to-do list right away! I’m just a bit slow with converting at the moment because I want to play more Sims :) (And even for that, I barely have time right now :D)

WiP – I'm currently working on the Olivia set (tops and skirt) from Sentate. Right now it's progressing a bit slower because I want to play more with my Sims :)

Wait a second. I thought Brandi's husband had a tragic accident in the pool and didn’t just disappear? Did she look into the pool where Skip's body was and was like, 'Oh no, where is my husband?' Did Skip suddenly turn into cotton candy and dissolve in the water? Or was Skip also abducted by aliens, just straight out of the pool? Are there mermaids living there who dragged Skip into the depths? No wonder the pool is so creepy—I always demolish it immediately

Is that Brandi Broke shade I see...

Mid-20s is such a weird age. A buddy of mine still lives at home but is studying to become a teacher. Another friend of mine just finished university and is now a psychologist. My best friend just gave birth to a child. Meanwhile, I’m creating my own calculator for Sims 2, including all Sims 3 and Sims 4 traits, and I’m having the time of my life.

[mewlancholy]

I was hoping that someone would do that. 😱 Just need to see how I can incorporate them now. :D

Thank you very much. Very well done!

Making your own CAS background is so cool

Not that the old one ever bothered me, but this way, you can add so much personal stuff :D

[mewlancholy]

Lol, I was just thinking about this recently too, so here’s a little addition:

 Sims 1 – Organized, rather traditional, but a bit stiff and awkward – "everything was better in the past." Younger siblings tend to keep their distance because the personality can be overwhelming. Maybe the parents were too strict and a bit clueless, but they meant well.

 Sims 2 – Detail-oriented, emotional, but sometimes too perfectionistic. The nerdy but lovable middle child. Tries to be there for everyone, tends to bend over backward for others, but is absolutely charming. The parents knew what they were doing this time and avoided the most mistakes they made with the first sibling. 

 Sims 3 – Independent, creative, unconventional, but sometimes a chaotic and overly ambitious adventurer. Not someone you can really rely on. The parents tried to replicate the success they had with the previous sibling but with even more pressure, which led to an unstable and neurotic personality.

Sims 4 – The annoying and superficial influencer sibling. Completely spoiled by the parents, as is often the case with a golden child. Doesn’t worry about anything, just chases trends without having a real personality. The parents stopped parenting altogether because this child became a money-making machine and is no longer seen as an individual.

If The Sims games were siblings...

The Sims - Older child from dad's first marriage. Quirky, half forgotten. Not that close with the younger siblings.

The Sims 2 - Kinda unstable, but there's something special about them.

The Sims 3 - Overlooked middle child. Lots of extracurriculars, not much personality.

The Sims 4 - Youngest. Gets too much attention. Overindulged.

I'm currently building a mental hospital for my Sims. It's pretty funny. I could have a fantasy save with fairies and magical stuff, but no—'I have to play therapy because aspiration failure without consequences is illogical' :D

A creepy secret basement is a must. I already have a few story ideas for it :D

[mewlancholy]

I actually have a gameplay Tumblr account now, lol. I struggled for a long time with whether I should make one, especially because it’ll involve a lot of text, but in the end, I just went for it. I absolutely love this kind of stuff—both writing it myself and reading it.

When I read things like this, it inspires me to play out certain ideas in-game or come up with my own plans for what I could do next. It’s also super interesting for me to see how other people play their game and what kind of thoughts they put into it. That’s so exciting! Especially for people who love reading (like me), gameplay pics combined with ridiculously long texts are just chef’s kiss. :D

Of course, it’s not for everyone, but I know there will be people who enjoy it—maybe not many, but still. (Like, for example, I would totally be into it xD.) Writing it myself is also something I love. It takes time, of course, but it makes me feel good to let my thoughts and ideas flow freely.

I’ve always wanted to document what my Sims get up to in detail—partly because I’d love to look back on it later, like a kind of diary, and just scroll through it. (And let’s be real—no one in my real-life social circle gives a damn about my gameplay, so random strangers on the internet will have to suffer )

Another important thing for me: writing things down really calms me. I tend to rush through life and my gameplay, but writing down my "stories" slows me down and helps me relax, which is great for my mental health. And yeah, I totally get the fear of cringe and sharing stuff, xD. It's somehow very personal.

So now I have a Tumblr page that’s going to be ridiculously detailed. I’m already working on character bios for my Sims… So yeah, I’m completely losing it.

hey, since im trying to figure out what would be the best casual hobby/creative energy release thing to do (and also trying to kill the fear of cringe and sharing stuff), i would like to ask everyone a couple of things: do you read sim stories? what do you find appealing about both casual gameplay posting and/or detailed storytelling sim projects, do you think it's something that's worth spending time on? (objectively i get that we ultimately should just do it for ourselves simply to have fun, but i can't help but feel that my inner motivation is enough to work on stuff but not enough to see it through. so i need to understand if stuff like that would genuinely find a reader or if im imagining best case scenarios and im in for a disappointment) anyway, those questions are quite vague but im interested in all thoughts on the topic, personally i love sim stories very much because i find them engaging and really inspiring. but i want to hear other people's pov

[mewlancholy]

Glad I'm at work and looking like this. I swear I'm going to bed earlier today and not staying up late converting stuff, because I totally have my life under control lol

[mewlancholy]

I generally can't understand why so many Sims players (especially on YouTube – at least from what I've noticed) are so fixated on the extreme versions of the aspirations. Sure, to be fair, the wants are sometimes quite specific.

But what I always think is: all aspirations are ultimately just broad directions in a Sim's life. Family, romance, fortune… these are such wide-ranging categories; you don’t have to stick to the extreme form of them. What I mean is that a Family Sim doesn’t necessarily have to focus on having a huge family; they can also have a small family into which they pour a lot of energy and love. If I were a Sim, I’d also be a Family Sim, but I wouldn’t want to have 2,000 kids, and I wouldn’t want my grandparents to live with me in a multi-generational household (mainly because they’re dead, but that’s beside the point).

Similarly, a Romance Sim doesn’t have to live a lifestyle where partners are constantly changing, or where cheating is endless. I know this is a bit of a wild theory, but if you play with secondary aspirations: maybe Family/Romance John Burb is just obsessed with his wife and their relationship, and he treats her like a queen because it’s simply his personal calling to be a loving househusband and spouse.

Or take Fortune Sims—not all of them have to aspire to become rich and famous. Maybe the Sim just wants to live a financially stable life so they don’t have to worry about money.

I love playing with calculators and secondary aspirations. It gives me the opportunity to take a closer look at my Sims and think outside the box. What does my Sim want in life? How do their Sims 3 traits, personality, hobbies, and primary and secondary aspirations fit together? What’s their story?

For example, I have a Fortune/Romance Sim who built a shop where single Sims can meet for speed dating. She herself just wants to spread love, but she’s not looking to make an extreme profit out of it.

I also have a Romance/Family Sim who struggles to find true love and dreams of nothing more than building a family.

I know everyone plays the game differently, and that’s a good thing! You just shouldn’t forget that everyone is unique—and Sims are too.

TS2 Hot Take: I hate how John Burb gets such a bad rap, especially in the youtube/streaming lp communities, just because everyone uses that completely fan made secondary aspiration calculator which assigns him as secondary romance, and then they act like its a cannon aspect of his core character. That he's somehow Pleasantview's most disgusting cheater (all while going "yes Don slaaaaay").

Like, he's clearly set up by maxis to be the loving house husband to his girlboss wife Jennifer. Why do you all hate malewives?

That moment when, as someone who has been through so much mentally and often sees themselves as broken, you’re sitting there, lost in your hobby – with a song in your ear that hits right in the heart – and suddenly realize that your soul is beginning to heal.

I never thought I’d be converting PJs for Sims 2 and end up crying while doing it lol
