My Collection of Prompts, Tutorials, Refs, etc.

(HD VERSION HERE)

And that's not all, I'm having a year-round challenge in our discord server where the person to draw the most prompts from that list gets a free drawing from me at the end of the year.

So if you're interested in that, or you just want a place to hang out with other artists and such, feel free to join! (just make sure to read and follow the rules, please and thank you)

here is a master list of great art tools that can make your workflow easier! 👇 (updating, please consider supporting me on kofi or check out my other works)

⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 "you remind me of someone i used to know. someone who got themselves killed being reckless."

⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 "i'm not teaching you because i like you. i'm teaching you so you don't die and make me look bad."

⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 "you have potential. don't make me regret saying that."

⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 "you've got guts, i'll give you that. brains, though? jury's still out."

Knowing each other's favorite things.

Strangers assuming they're a couple.

Friends and family making comments about how they'd make a good couple.

When they finally get together, nothing changes in their dynamic except that they kiss sometimes.

Saying "I love you" casually as friends.

^ until one of them realizes they don't mean it platonically anymore.

Comforting each other after bad dates.

One of them being jealous whenever the other goes on a date.

Knowing oddly specific things about each other.

Making fun of typical couple things (bonus points if they do those things when they become a couple).

When they become a couple, there's an initial period of awkwardness as they both worry about ruining the friendship.

Having to pretend to be a couple (e.g. at special events), only for them to realize they want it to be real.

Having special nicknames for each other that become pet names when they start dating.

Doing date-y things but as friends.

Seeing each other at their worst (physically or emotionally) without batting an eye.

↳ What lie do they tell themselves to sleep at night? Seriously. What’s the little piece of denial that keeps them functioning? Do they pretend they don’t care what people think? Tell themselves they’re over that one person? Convinced they’re not the villain of someone else’s story? We all lie to ourselves; your OC is no exception.

↳ What’s their emotional kryptonite? A specific thing that absolutely shatters them, like someone crying? Being ignored? Praise from a parent figure? The sound of an old song? The smell of something nostalgic? Find it and use it against them (lovingly, of course).

↳ When do they feel the most alive? Is it mid-battle, mid-baking, mid-breakup? Does adrenaline light them up, or do they find joy in the quiet, mundane things, like folding laundry while listening to sad girl music? This can reveal a LOT about what drives them.

↳ What would totally ruin their day? A bad haircut? Someone touching their stuff? Or is it something deeper, like being reminded of their failures, or seeing someone else succeed where they couldn’t?

↳ Who do they think they should be? And who are they really? This one’s juicy. Do they think they should be a hero, but keep acting like a villain?

↳ What’s the one thing they’d never admit out loud, even under duress? The shameful thought. The inappropriate desire. The thing they desperately want but don’t think they deserve. DONT FORGET: Characters are built on what they repress.

↳ What are they petty about? Don’t pretend your OC is above this, I mean everyone’s petty about something. Do they hold grudges over stolen pens? Get irrationally jealous of someone’s hair? Still mad about a game of Uno from 2007? Petty makes them fucking real.

↳ How do they act when they think no one’s watching? Do they let their mask slip? Dance around the kitchen? Talk to their cat in baby voice? Cry a little?

↳ What would make them snap? Where is the breaking point? What line has to be crossed for them to finally say “Enough”? Is it injustice? Betrayal? Feeling powerless? You’ll know you’ve found it when it scares you a little (Or a lot).

“You love to talk, but you don’t actually say much, do you?”

“Don’t open it! There’s something in there!”

“I’ll do whatever I want, and nobody is going to stop me.”

“If you say I told you so, I will kick you out of that window.”

( a collection of fake dating dialogue prompts where both parties insist it’s ❛ just pretending ❜ while absolutely failing to act normal about it. ) you’re welcome to tweak phrasing as needed, but please don’t add to or rewrite the original post. give credits to @fawndrip / @suprclark if using.

❛ just smile and hold my hand — no, closer. we’re supposed to be in love. ❜ ❛ remind me again why i agreed to be your fake date? ❜ ❛ we should probably set some ground rules. . . before this gets weird. ❜ ❛ since when do you know my coffee order? ❜ ❛ stop looking at me like that. you’re going to ruin the act. ❜ ❛ this is still fake, right? ❜ ❛ about before. . . i didn’t mean it like that — i was just playing the part. ❜ ❛ you’re way too comfortable pretending to be my partner. ❜ ❛ so what happens after tonight? ❜ ❛ just go with it — you’re my girlfriend / boyfriend, remember? ❜ ❛ since when do you call me that? ❜ ❛ we’re really good at this. maybe too good. ❜ ❛ don’t panic, just put your arm around me. ❜ ❛ i thought pretending wouldn’t change anything between us. ❜ ❛ you didn’t rehearse this part, did you? ❜ ❛ why are you nervous? you’re not the one meeting your parents. ❜ ❛ i didn’t mean to say i loved you — it just slipped out. ❜ ❛ i didn’t know fake dating came with fake arguments. ❜ ❛ hold on — since when do we have an anniversary? ❜ ❛ you’re not allowed to flirt with me off script. ❜ ❛ maybe we should stop pretending before it’s too late. ❜

► Programs & Resources:

Sims4Studio is the program we use to get our resources from the game and to make our package files. Photoshop is the image editing program we use to edit our image textures and previews, with some recurring to GIMP as well. You will need a DDS Plug-in so Photoshop can work on the DDS files that Sims4Studio utilizes, you can work with png files, but it's harder work. Blender is the free and mot common 3D mesh editor sims 4 creators use to work on their meshes. You can import add-ons to it, like Behemox Hair Generator, Mesh Repair Tools (both self explanatory) and Mio3, an UV editor tool. NJob is a great free tool you can utilize to make normal maps, essential to make your CC interact with different lighting in game.
