I redrew a little 🥺

It's been a while...

So... yeah. It really has been a while since I posted anything on this Simblr, especially anything that is gameplay-related. To those who are still following me, thank you so much! I will post again someday, I promise.

I wanted to come on here to talk about the state of The Sims 4 right now. This is more of me venting my frustrations with the game than anything else, but if you're reading this... again, thank you. I haven't touched The Sims 4 gameplay probably since last spring, and the reason for that is that my game is simply unplayable at this point. Okay, it's not quite that bad, but the immersion is just not there anymore. I realized how bad the situation was when I finally sat down and played The Sims 3 for the first time in forever. I bought The Sims 3 for the first time in my life around 2021, and before that, I had only played The Sims 4. Playing The Sims 3, I realized how immersive the game can be. Sure, it has its issues with lag, but honestly, currently, my Sims 3 game runs mostly better than The Sims 4, aside from CAS and build mode. But aside from those, the gameplay in The Sims 3 is so rich, and I don't even own nearly all the packs! I also enjoy how spontaneous the game can be, where crazy drama just happens without me forcing it. And let's not even talk about how beautiful and big the Sims 3 worlds are! Gameplay-wise, it's honestly hard for me to believe The Sims 3 is the predecessor of The Sims 4.

Right, so I might start posting more The Sims 3 content, but this post is meant to be about The Sims 4. First of all, there just isn't enough gameplay in the game. The base game is extremely limited and boring to play on its own, but the extra packs honestly aren't much better. The features added are usually extremely shallow and don't add anything for long-term gameplay. And man do I miss having different animations for interactions! In The Sims 4, Sims just move their hand, and things appear in front of them like magic.

Second of all, the simulation lag completely breaks any immersion I have for the gameplay. If you don't know, simulation lag is basically that thing that happens when your Sim won't perform an action no matter what you tell them to do. Instead, they just stand around and stare into space while often bobbing their head around. No mod I've found has been able to fix this issue, and The Sims creators clearly have no intentions of fixing it either. Granted, my laptop is very old and I have a lot of CC, so I expect to run into some issues in my game. However, I have seen Sims creators with top-notch gaming computers have horrible game-breaking simulation lag, meaning this isn't just an issue with my old laptop.

Lastly (seriously thank you so much if you've read this far), EA does not care about the game or its players. Lately, pretty much all the newer packs have had game-breaking bugs on release, and some of them have still not been fixed (ahem, My Wedding Stories). And even after all the complaints from players, the latest For Renting expansion pack came with a small world mostly consisting of rabbit holes and set dressing and limited and broken gameplay. What I've seen the pack has made many players' games completely unplayable and even messed up their old saves.

In conclusion... I stopped buying The Sims 4 packs since My Wedding Story and WILL NOT purchase them ever again until they fix the current game (which is unlikely since many continue to purchase these broken packs). It seems complaining about the state of the game does nothing, and instead, we should be hitting where it hurts... EA's money.

Also, expect some Sims 3 gameplay...

Haii haiiiii everyone! I'm back and here to share my Genshin Impact OC with you all ♡

This is Louis! He's an actor and a mini antagonist toward Lyney and Lynette. 🃏An actor.

He's trans — prns He/Him pls :3

I didn't list a VA or Voice claim because I myself am his voice!

Note; the weapon is an unreleased unused catalyst weapon from Genshin Impact, I took it for inspiration and because I think it suits him well!

i wasn't afraid of him, but i was painfully aware of the fact that, no matter how poorly i had been treated, my heart would sputter and pick up loving him with complete ease, like a natural contraction unconsciously done of muscle memory.

Hi terry :3

Fucked up what happened but I'm glad you're back

Hello :D

I am so so mad about it, hopefully I can get my old blog back... somehow

Well, hello I guess. It‘s been a few years. A lot has happened and I don‘t know how many of you are still here.

I‘m a researcher now. Psychiatry and addiction and all that. Currently working on my degree as a Psychotherapist. And I got married. That happened. I moved far away from home.

Kinda new and scary, nice and bad things going on…but I guess I‘ll be back on here more often now. I kinda forgot how healing writing was for me…so in the need to destress I came back.

Happy to be back.
