I'm toady [21 she/her] I've been playing Sims for probably around ten years, first starting with Sims 3 and as of 2016 sims 4. I wanted to make a simblr because I wanted a place to show my sims and be apart of this community that I watched for years! I have had cc and mods for as long as I can remember having this game, it has become so intercut when making my sims, houses, and worlds.
little simself <3
my plans for this blog are to show my creations and make little stories for you all to enjoy, along with much more to come!
I am very excited to start posting here and I hope that you all enjoy my creations and short stories <3
Have an amazing day!

Hi all! I’m a new mod here! I go by Fae or Faeling, and my pronouns are she/her. I’m a 30 years young autistic artist who has a love for helping bring positivity to others! ✨

did u follow any tutorial on how to make cas bg? i think your cas bg are wonderful!
hi anon, thank you so much!! glad you've enjoyed them ^7^
let's see.. my first ever cas bg was made last year and it was legit my first time making my own stuff for the game 💀 there wasn't any proper tutorial specific to 3d CAS bg then and so I had to learn everything from scratch (incl learning how to navigate blender 2.79 lol).
because this is a long post 👀 deets are under the cut ✂️
Here's me figuring out how things work 😆:
learned how to import meshes, add texture, move mirrors, and add fun stuff like the bloom texture for added atmosphere
(for anyone trying to make their own cas bg, setting up a scene in game helps a lot)
some more cas bgs I've made last year but never/haven't shared:
this one I had to figure out how to position objects to be in 1 point perspective in CAS, setting up the camera in blender for rendering, and figure out how to bake reflections to the floor since you can't do that easily XD (decided mirrors ain't worth it)
thanks to that I now have a setup in blender to mimic the look in CAS 😎 which saves me a lot of time since I don't have to enter the game as much. Since sim position in CAS is slightly in front of the world's origin in Blender, I had to make a guide for that too.
figured out that rug/sim position and how to create more than 2 mirrors. Never really did anything with this bg until this, so it was more of a learning experience for me. But I later applied that knowledge to the 2 cas bgs I've released :3
this might be my 4th? cas bg and I had figured out what I needed to do, so there isn't much experimentation going on except to make it look good & presentable.
everything I released so far are made after I've learned all the things above, which allows me to create my own meshes instead of relying on EA's, and is a different skillset altogether since you gotta learn 3d modeling, uv mapping, texturing, all that stuff, which is best learned from general blender/3d tutorials.
and ofc whilst I was doing all these I also made a doc detailing the process just so that I could remember things and fall back to it in case I forget anything and it's like.. 39 pages now and counting 🫠 (mostly big images and bullet points.)
here's what I was working on:
so to answer your question.. I guess so! but for very specific topics instead of a how-to-make-cas-bg tutorial.
this tutorial for 2+ mirrors
I also looked at littledica's file to see how it's set up so I can correctly export mine. (look up: mesh groups & ea object components)
several blender tutorials unrelated to sims
otherwise, I had to figure out everything myself w/ trial and error :') S4S will throw out error messages that tells you what's causing the error when importing, so I also learned from that.
just a reminder that being in an end biome makes the sky go black ^_^
[ID : a screenshot from minecraft, with the player standing in front of a build that resembles a mossy statue of a faceless head wearing a hood. the sky behind it is a dark purplish color, with speckles like stars scattered around. there is red text edited over it reading "dark sky around the secret keeper shrine", and there are red arrows pointing to the sky on either side. END ID]
[ID : a gif from minecraft of a player standing on a platform made of a gradient of moss, mycelium, and grass that has been retextured to be purple. they are standing on the purple side, where the sky is dark and the biome is labeled "end barrens", before they run to the other side where the sky grows lighter and the biome switches to "plains", before they return back to the end barrens side. END ID]
;; hi!! im mod firebug or mod ☘️! i primarily use they/it/hx + more neos but i don't mind how you refer to me as long as it isn't with she/her or feminine aligned terms!!!
;; i run a lot of accounts and you can find the list of accounts i run on any of them so just go to @ecgd-starnoi-official !!
;; i don't get involved in lots because of my timezone (and anxiety /hj) so it leaves me to dig up the ancient history here!! (i'll do a lot of scrolling hehe) :3
Hello! You can call me mod Raven :) I use she/they pronouns and neos
So what's this about?
Basically, we all know that minecraft youtube has some good quotes, especially taken out of context. I've been hyperfixated on Gem since... 2019? 2020? Somewhere around that time. And as a result, I've gotten lots of fun quotes from various servers, youtube videos, and streams. I'm here to share them with you all, and you guys can share some with me if you so desire :)
How's this gonna work?
It's pretty simple. I put quotes into the queue, which currently is posting once a day. You guys submit an ask or submission with your quotes! Currently I'm answering asks as they arrive, but that is subject to change
Any rules?
Currently not any rules for submissions, though that may change as time goes on. Only rule is that it Must Have Been Said By Gem. Group submissions are allowed, as long as Gem was included in the dialouge (for example, you could submit a Wither Rose Alliance quote, but at least one of the lines must have been said by Gem in order for it to get posted).
DNI?
I don't really have a DNI list, but I can and will block anyone who I find to be rude, triggering, or just a general unpleasant presence.
Some basic criteria:
Don't be an asshole
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transpobia, ableism, or just general bigotry will be tolerated. Instant block.
I don't care what you do on your own blog, but if you bring any sort of discourse onto my blog that's a no no. It's bad for my mental health, and I can't think of any reason you would feel a need to bring that onto a silly blog where we quote a minecraft woman.
Mod is a minor!! Anybody being sexual, nsfw, or just generally weird will be insta-blocked for my own safety and comfort.
That's it for now! This post will almost certainly be updated but until then, happy submitting everyone!
