ten ways to love the sims 4 again (or at least try to)
1. take all your cc and mods out of the game. maybe play with only a default skin & eyes. play with a light & bright reshade. the game will look like how it should. you won’t become overwhelmed with building, making sims, making over other sims, and you can just…. play. and you should. just play! make a backstory or don’t make a backstory for the sim. the charm of the game is still there! (and once it gets a little boring, you can add your cc back! makeover the houses you’ve build and the sims you’ve made. make a post showing the difference.)
2. go back to a sim you were passionate about. even if you lost their tray files, remake them from memory! even if they don’t look the same, it’s okay! post them once or twice. post them ten times a day.
3. purge your mods folder. clean up your tray folder, maybe even start some new saves. switch up your defaults. change the way you organize stuff. sometimes it’s good to get a fresh start.
4. take breaks. dont play the game for too long. the sims is just one of those games that will get old super quick. it’s not a bad thing, since taking breaks is 100% very important anyway.
5. take some portraits & have fun editing them. try something new! don’t worry about likes. we don’t have the energy for that anymore.
6. watch some videos about the sims. whether it’s speed cas, speed builds or just something silly, these always get me in the mood to play sims. watching gameplay of challenges gets me in the mood too; if you were anything like me, you remember seeing challenges on youtube and wishing that you could play them too… well, now you can!!! go back to them! watch videos from 2012. you started playing this game for a reason!
7. makeover old sims. whether or not you’re completely happy with them! change up some skin details, give them a new haircut. dress them up in a style opposite to their current one.
8. makeover your blog. makeover your cc finds blog. a fresh start helps! sometimes it’ll motivate me to do more with my blog when i have a shiny new theme or page!
9. make a character page. or maybe just write out some character stuff in a .txt document. or don’t do that at all. sometimes it’s fun to make silly oc’s for no reason. you don’t have to do anything with them!
10. forget about simblr. games are meant to be fun; if you don’t want to play the sims today or tomorrow, then don’t. if you want to post, then post! you don’t exist for pouring out content. followers who care about you won’t mind your absence! make a side blog for gaming. make a side blog for cooking. revisit your passions so that the sims won’t consume your free-time. unless you want it to, in which case that’s fine too.
