ok now that revealed Hana’s a violinist, back to the fam 😋☝🏽(1/4)

📩 Simblr question of the day: You can answer one or both parts of this question! 1️⃣ Part one: If you make Story posts, what do you do for scenes? Do you build them yourself, do you download lots from the gallery or do you download them from someone online? 2️⃣ Part two: If you make Gameplay/Legacy posts, what do you do for a house? Do you build it yourself, download a home from the gallery or do you download them from someone online? Additionally, do you build onto that home or demolish it and rebuild the house when needed? (E.G When another child enters the picture or someone moves in) ❎ If you do none of those for either half, what do you do? Do you use someone else's save file? (WIndbrook by Folking, Willow Creek + Magnolia Promenade by Theneighborhoodsave, Silent Pines by Silentpinessave... etc)

( freely share this SQOTD around, anon or not, and use the hashtag " SQOTD " ~ 💛 )

1️⃣ all the above! I don’t build much these days but I did a lot when my legacy was pretty new and building a house (even if it was rough looking lol) was manageable when the family was small. I also create actual scenes like a movie sets with lighting and all that for my story a lot of the times when I don’t want to invest in an entire build for just one scene. Like this scene with Grace speaking with her old master is just a rectangle room I dropped on an empty lot and decorated to look like a greenhouse /garden.

2️⃣ I do, and that reminds me I need to do a much better job crediting the amazing builders who share their builds on the gallery because where in the world would I be without them. ✨

And for my personal, non storytelling/non legacy save file I just downloaded the Silent Pines save which is the first save file I’ve really invested in and regularly play in and it’s just *chef kiss*

TW: therapy / depression

Really felt like opening up, this is a safe space, right?

I’ve finally taken the steps to work on my mental health and I’ve been seeing a therapist. I’ve had 2 sessions so far. I was pretty terrified of the idea of therapy because the thought of unpacking my depression and childhood trauma felt overwhelming and honestly so terrifying but, I’m happy and proud I did it. I hope to come out of this healthier and stronger and happier and I hope it reflects in my work as well. (COTF my be on a longer hiatus, at least until my sessions are complete or I feel mentally ready to tackle this epic episodic story I created with the grace and love she deserves ❣️)

I started playing this game during the pandemic which is around when my depression began. The Sims 4 was my escape from reality for a long, long time. Everyday I’d get lost in the world I created and there was just something about finally having the control I wish I had with my own life that made the bad days tolerable. But escapism wasn’t the cure, I learned. I knew I couldn’t depend on it to make me happy for the rest of my life even if that’s all I wanted. Because on the days it didn’t make me happy or I was unable to play it, I felt lost and angry. Like now what, what else is left? I was left to deal with the sadness. I had to dig deeper and reach out and ask for help. And I finally did that. And it feels pretty damn good, if I’m being honest. I just want to feel better. I want to be the best version of me, whoever she is. For myself. For my wife and kid. And with counseling and really putting my mental health on the forefront, I hope to achieve that. I really really hope so.

That’s all I wanted to say. ❣️

Tomax Collette - Army Dreamer ✨

Thinking about that one ask by @thebramblewood and it's now canon that Tomax and Darrel Charm were two street kids in the Lower Realm performing and stealing for spare change to score a hot meal.

Introduction

Hi! I'm an anonymous asker who sends fellow simmers questions. "Simblr Question of the Day" is something I saw going on around September '23 and I wanted to revive this "trend"! After a bit, some simmers suggested a SQOTD blog, to which I agreed and finally did it! I can broaden my asking horizons to blogs w/o anons now :)

I'm going to continue preserving my anonymity, but I'd like to share some basics about me ! ~

You can call me squat or squatty! A name I chose based on the way I pronounce "SQOTD," You can also call me SQOTD Anon! I like the colors yellow and pink/red, I've been playing the sims since I was 5 and I like to read and write :)

And below the cut will include a little rundown of how I will run this blog and navigation hashtags ~

-I will queue a question for once a day around 4am-5am PST, I will try to vary the type of questions (builds/renders/cas/sims/ocs). -Interact with these posts in anyway you prefer: reblog, reply or a separate post! (make sure to tag me ;p) -I FULLY encourage YOU to continue sending asks with SQOTDs (crediting/tagging me is optional). I don't expect every simblr to know about this blog and SQOTD is intended to be a community thing, so while this blog will extend SQOTD reach, asks will spread even further -If you have your own SQOTD, you can send me an ask with your q! -Since this isn't my main blog, I probably won't follow others, but I will check into the "SQOTD" tag, leave likes on SQOTD answers and maybe even reblog answers -For the first week or so after making this blog, I will still send SQOTDs while also letting simmers know the existence of this blog, I also do not want to stop sending asks cold turkey :) (<- I'll remove this after a while)

Navigation

〘 This will be updated with tags around the time that the first post comes out -

↳ I am very open to critique, suggestions and feedback, feel free to send me these messages via ask or DMs :)

When is the last time you took a nap where you’re covered in sweat, it’s dark outside, you’re thirsty like you just walked through the desert and the room is spinning, phone on 4%, one of your air pods are on the floor somewhere, bonnet sideways…

She’s alone in her little world and u can’t come in🎻

📩 Simblr question of the day: It's time to appreciate the small things! What's a small detail from one of your posts that you love? Could be a small tattoo on a sim, specific clutter in a sims' room, a little detail in a render or screenshot, whatever is applicable to you

Probably a random fact in my magical universe is that Guardian Faeries don’t have navels 😭

I actually took the time to photoshop out Aries belly button because they weren’t gestated traditionally when they were born. Guardians are created from the magic within the earth ✨ (think, cabbage patch dolls lol)

Y2K Requested by @bloomingkyras, @aheathen-conceivably, @dead-lights, @dreamlandiasims and @gooretrait Starring Helena Zhao as the pop princess, Caleb Vatore as the heartthrob, Morgyn Ember as the sensitive one and Lilith Vatore as the edgy one

Featuring @gunthermunch's stunning new Reshade preset, Artaud!

Today, Mrs. Drake presented Mr. Drake with the Golden Penis Award for his lifetime achievement of delivering the most intense Os to have ever O'd.

New Lilith thirst trap just dropped.

It's Hope's favorite time of year!

I’ve been in and out of it all day since having all 4 wisdom teeth removed this morning 🥹 apparently the first thing I did when I left the dentist was call my mom so she can fuss over me lol

EIGHTIES, Part I Requested by @papermint-airplane Starring Caleb and Lilith Vatore

I think this was a good decade for them. Most people thought the goths might be vampires anyway, so they blended right in.

Only Caleb was requested, but we all know they come as a package deal, and I must admit I was already working on these looks anyway. I initially had Caleb in more punk attire (e.g. patched leather jacket and Mohawk), but it just didn't feel like him. I got suggested this hair, and it all fell together then. I imagine this is when he first discovered that buttoning up shirts is an unnecessary expenditure of energy. I'm not sure if it reads as quintessentially '80s, but I think it's perfect for him. This might be my favorite version of them I've done so far, and I have some story plans brewing for this era that could involve crowd participation, so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

Sneak Peak of a future update ✨

Adelina hosts a grand dinner for the Upper Realm elites, members of the Board of Arcane Education, and her fellow peers to welcome the newest additions to the Sage Council, Grace and Tomax. The Director of the Board  challenges Adelina, and she offers to give him a little taste of what she can do.
