Trait Game

Imagine, if you were a Sim, what 6 traits and a life-time wish would you have? Feel free to tag 5-10 (or even more!) fellow simmers to keep this community lively. 

Thank you so much to @notjustabooksims who tagged me (and I’m sooo sorry for being so late!) <3

Bookworm: My sister still remembers the times when I was a kid and would just drift away from her and our cousin during summer and, instead of playing with them, I was holed in my room reading whatever I’d gotten my hands on. I think she’s still getting mad at me about it sometimes, lol! XD

Hopeless romantic: I have to stress that I have never see myself as a romance heroine or whatever, so I never enjoy over the top displays of affection. However, I love reading about them in books and, of course, writing them! It’s totally my jam <3

Heavy sleeper: I once slept through the alarm. And by that I don’t mean the morning alarm, but the burglar alarm. Yeah... My husband was SO impressed (not). At least going off was a mistake and we weren’t getting robbed or anything XD

Good sense of humor: Well, I’m not entirely sure about that. I just know that I love making jokes, and that people around me seem to - at least pretend to - enjoy them, lol!

Loner: Of course, seeing said people just once or twice every month, while the rest of the time I’d be left the heck alone, would be ideal for me, lmao!

Couch potato: Always enjoyed playing video games instead of working out and being active, and always will.

Aaaand that’s it! I’m not tagging anyone because I’m super late anyway..! :p This was great though! <3 <3

New moodboards for gen 4 because why not 😁💕

[sempreviva]

Hey guys! I just popped in here to say that I'm not dead ;) I am sooo sorry that I completely disappeared last week here and on wp but ugh, this has been one hellish week. It was so bad that I seriously considered quitting my job of 10 years :( Well anyway, things seem calmer now (who knows until when though), so I hope I'll be able to return this weekend and catch up and respond to comments and challenges and tags and all that fun stuff I've been deprived of :D And you know what, I have missed you terribly guys! <3 Again, I'm really sorry for being completely out of it! <3

[sempreviva]

7, 20 for Raina!

Yay, thank you so much! 💕

7. Describe your OC's fashion sense.

Hmmm since I already answered that, but I don't want to not answer, I'll assume I can post a picture instead ;) This is the closest one I found:

20. Post a picture or gif that describes your OC.

Well, can I post more than one? Lol, I found so many and after a lot of thought I managed to keep three of them! 😛

Sorry if your eyes hurt!! 😶

That was sooo much fun! Thank you so much! ❤

[sempreviva]

7, 8 and 16 for Raina and Andrew! And I have to request 19 for Jesse for obvious reasons :D

Ooh, thank you so much for this! I love that you requested something for Jesse too ;) <3

7. Describe your OC's fashion sense.

Raina: Sweet and quirky with an edge. She has a preference for pastel colors, as well as black. She will not hesitate to dress like a slob though, when she’s not feeling it! XD

Andrew: Mostly shirts and jeans; but whatever it is, should be comfortable but smart quality clothing that fit him well. He hates both sweatpants and ties.

8. Describe one of your OC's bad habits.

Raina: Almost never speaks her mind until it’s too late. She also forgets to eat properly, and stays up late - especially if she has to wake up early in the morning.

Andrew: Always speaks his mind, even if it’s extremely rude :p He occasionally smokes, but not very often.

16. If your OC could have any superpower, which would it be and why?

Raina: The power to be invisible! That way she would disappear whenever people would bug her for thing like going out. She would probably be tempted to stalk her love interests, lmao!

Andrew: He’d have the power to create and/or steal superpowers! XD

19. Your OC's life is a musical. What's the title of their big show-stopping song?

Hahaha, that’s so awesome for Jesse!! XD I admit I’m not too big on musicals, but I suppose the title would be something along the lines of "Wanna bet that I'm awesome" or something like that? I'm so sorry, it's a lame answer - I know!

This was so much fun! ^_^ Thank you so much for your question! :D

[sempreviva]

9 and 10 for Andrew and Raina! :)

Oooh, thank you so much! I was actually hoping someone would ask No.10 ;) <3

9.  Your OC is having a nightmare. What is it?

Andrew:

He is tied to a chair in a room full of the stupidest people in the world, where he’s forced to listen to them talk all day long.  He’s also lost his voice, so he can’t reply to them - ever. The only way to regain his speech is if he engages in small talk or gossip, and the only food he’s allowed to have is snacks from a vending machine.

Raina:

She lives in a world where no-one’s allowed to have their own identity and everyone is forced to dress and behave the same. There is no color, music or creativity anywhere, she works 9-5 in an office, she has to clean, cook and have dinner the same time every day, and every man in this world has turned into a frog. 

10.  You are conducting a ritual. What 5 items would you need to summon your OC?

Andrew:

a chess piece

a wolf’s tooth

an ice cube

a pinch of salt

a lock

Raina:

a journal page

a dandelion seed

a rose petal

a pinch of sugar

a key

1, 6, 25!!

Oh yay, another one! ^_^ Okay, let’s see:

1. Describe the plot in 1 sentence.

“Little -not so- innocent sweet Raina is looking for a fairytale relationship, only to have her ship hit the iceberg instead.”

Lmao, so lame - I know! But that’s all I could come up with now! XD

6. Are there any former titles you’ve considered but discarded?

So many! I was this close to naming this generation "Sleet", but I’m glad I stuck with the current title (I know it would bother me to no end to not have the word “rain” in it - I’m weird, lol!) Plus, "sleet" sounds like a proper name for a horror film, not a romance! :p

25. Which character would you most like to be?

Hmmm, Andrew I guess? He’s always very confident and most of the time has a perfect comeback (which for him comes naturally, but for me requires some serious thinking, lol!). He’s kind of an asshole though sometimes; I wouldn’t want to be that!

This was so fun! Thank you for the question! ^_^ <3 <3

[sempreviva]

9, 10, and 11! :)

Thank you so much for this ask! ^_^ Ok, here goes:

9. What’s the first line of your story?

“ While the sun was slowly setting, painting the sky its golden pink and violet hues, he finally emerged from the sea.” 

10. What’s a line of dialogue you’re particularly proud of?

Hmmm I already answered that, but I can throw another unpublished line (although still a little rough):

"You could add that heart with arrow emoji or something.”

“You’re telling me to send her a misrepresentation of a blood pump that’s been critically wounded? I’m not doing that.”

11. Which line from the story most represents it as a whole?

Oh man... I have no idea. With only seven chapters published and the story still coming to shape, I don’t think I have something solid at this point... I’m so sorry for not answering properly! :(

Again, thank so much for asking me, I had a lot of fun answering those questions (especially no.10,  lol)! <3 <3 

[sempreviva]

Hey, I have to request #3 because you’ve got excellent music taste ☺️ And #10, #17/#18 and #21!

Oh, thank you so much for the compliment!! You’ve made my day! :D <3 <3

3.  Which 3+ songs would make up a playlist for the story?

Yesss, those kind of questions are my jam (pun intended)! It was hard, but I chose 5 songs because I already have a playlist for this gen and they are A LOT, lol.

Tori Amos - Almost rosy

Sara Bareilles - Gravity

Lily Allen - Littlest things

Heart - What about love

David Gray - Gutters full of rain

(The first 4 ones are Raina’s and the last is Andrew’s - I have no idea why I felt the need to clarify, but there it is anyway :p)

10.  What’s a line of dialogue you’re particularly proud of?

Oh man... Proud is not a feeling I get often by writingl lol, but I’m gonna give it a shot:

“I was cursed with a fairly high libido and a deeply intellectual mind. You can see how this could create a paradox.”

I think we can all guess who that line belongs too, lmao!! XD

17-18. Pick a color/font to represent each character:

(Not as fancy as other awesome ones I just saw - I‘m looking at you @thesimperiuscurse and @notjustabooksims, but I tried, lmao!)

21. Which character is the best liar? Worst?

I’m sure I’ll disappoint with my answer, but I think Raina is both. She can’t handle confrontation so she pretends to go with the flow and not mind anything, but on the other hand, when she feels something strongly, she can never hide it. (see, I told you it was a stupid answer, lol! :p)

Thank you so much for this ask! <3 <3

[sempreviva]

15, 24 ❤

Oooh, let’s see:

15. Describe each character’s daily outfit.

Raina: Either cutesy/quirky outfits with a rocker edge or, when she’s not feeling it (which is often), a total slob!

Charlie: Athletic/Streetwear during the day, hot stuff at night!

Allison: Conservative, formal looking clothing, 

Andrew: Semi-casual, but always smart and clean. Has a preference for expensive clothes that fit well.

24.  Which character is most like you? Least like you?

Hmmm, I’d say the closest character to me is Raina (mostly her flaws unfortunately, lol). I think she is so relatable to a couple of my readers because as simlit writers we probably share quite the amount of traits, many of which I’ve injected into her personality :) The least character like me is probably Allison. Too uptight! XD

Thank you so much for the ask! <3 <3

[sempreviva]

I promise I'm currently writing my next chapter (almost finished!) and I'm NOT abandoning my TS3 generation, but I'm having so much fun with CAS and poses in TS4 lately it's insane, lol! Somebody stop me! Plus, THIS guy. Holy shit. 😍 Now I have to write a story about him. Ah, someday ❤

[sempreviva]

I was playing around with TS4 the other day, and I was amazed with how good looking sims could turn out to be (with the right amount of cc of course), the lighting, the shadows, everything.

Then I stop posing them and they pull these faces:

*SMH* 😐

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box for the last 10 people who interacted with you. Spread the positivity ♥

Awww thank you for this ask! This is so exciting, lol! :D <3 There are many things that can make me happy (I’m not that difficult, lmao) but five of them would be:

1. Spending time with my husband (if we had a dog it would be perfect, but what can you do :p)

2. Smelling the air very early in the morning at this time of the year, when it starts getting crispier <3

3. Sitting on my own writing/reading/thinking of a story while having something warm to drink, preferably when it’s kind of cold outside (technically that’s three but eh :p)

4. Listening to my favorite songs and getting inspired by them

5. Cooking
