#dottie talks

hi!

guess i’ll come out of hibernation? i’ve been busy with uni for the past year, but i have to admit that my interest in ts4 waned (even cats & dogs couldn’t rekindle it). i had time to play plenty of other games (my friend got me into heroes of the storm; it’s pretty fun tbh) but the only sims game i played was ts2, without taking screenshots.

after seasons came out i found myself wandering back onto my lil old simblr and checking in on my fave blogs. it made me want to play the game myself for once! soooo i reinstalled and here i am, thinking about posting a couple of gameplay pics??? weird, i know. i’m using less cc now but my love for bright colours is still in full gear haha. i also might ditch my simblr alias “dottie”, and just go by my actual name: dayna.

anyway, this post is a bit longer than i wanted it to be, so i’ll end it here! just wanted to say hi again and that i hope you’re all happy and successful this year! thanks for sticking around with my lazy ass. here’s to a lovely summer!!

extra ts4 screenies!

sorry for not posting much lately!! it was my birthday yesterday (march 28th aka aries season aka the best time of the year) so i’ve been busy~ i turned 21 this year! i forgot to make a post about it whoops haha

i also have 3 essays to write by april and i haven’t started any of them... so... yeah. #RIP me pretty much. instead of working on my essays like a responsible student... i have instead gotten the urge to try out the sims 2!! LMAO

fun fact: i’ve never played ts2 before. i’ve always wanted to, but setting up a cc folder always looked so complicated. it’s not as scary anymore tho, and i’m almost done downloading the stuff i need. i may or may not post one or two screenies... i mostly wanted ts2 just because i’m fed up with the lack of gameplay (as well as ea splitting up so many features just to make extra cash) in ts4, and i prefer the way sims look in ts2 over ts3. so.

i was tagged by @midpoosimmer to do this shuffle tag. idk why but i get kinda insecure about my music tastes. most of my library is hip-hop/rap, kpop, or soundtracks lmao. anyway here’s the first 10 songs that popped up:

girls like girls by hayley kiyoko (even itunes knows im gay af)

doll by lovelyz (spooky haunted doll music is my aesthetic)

child’s play (feat. chance the rapper) by sza (she’s a hot mess but i luv her songs [shrug])

my flower by ladies code (;_____;)

untitled 06 l 06.30.2014 by kendrick lamar (one of the best tracks from this mixtape imo)

one step, two steps by oh my girl (my girlfriends)

best of chopin by frédéric chopin (literally a gigantic 1 hour track of all of my fave chopin pieces LMAO. it helps with my anxiety. kinda weird but ya...)

mer by hyukoh (my boyfriends)

yumemi by slime girls (ahhh i was wondering when chiptune would show up LMAO prob 40% of my library....)

iii. telegraph ave. ("oakland" by lloyd) by childish gambino (i love listening to this in the car haha)

ayyyyyyy!! hi y’all!! that hiatus turned out to be a loooot longer than expected. so much has changed in my life since then -- i’m in university now! i never thought that would EVER happen after my anxiety and depression screwed up my high school years and prevented me from graduating. i’ve been in a massive slump for 4 years now, but finally i’ve lifted myself out of it through diligent therapy, meds, and support from my friends and family. i feel so alive now, when only a year ago i wanted the complete opposite of that...

this is a lot more sappy and depressing than i wanted it to be haha, especially since i don’t usually speak about my shitty personal life. but yeah! i’m kind of back now??? sort of??? i finally bought a proper gaming pc so i’ve been playing games like overwatch and civ 6 this entire time, but i’m slowly but surely getting back into ts4. i have a couple of asks in my inbox that i’ll try and get to, but i just wanted to stop by and idk... say hello?? and thank you all for the massive support while i was gone! i have 3.5k followers now which is a lil insane lmao
