#simblr resolutions

🛋️📺 Release at least one retro/vintage set based on 70's eastern european social realistic nostalgia. Grey panel housing blocks, ugly orange glass doors, brutalistic steel and concrete monstrums, metal playgrounds, colorful plastic tablecloths and red dotted vintage coffe cups.

🛠️⚙️ Make an ovrehaul on some of my earlier sets, including the Classicist Set, the Coffehouse, Storefronts and the Templom set.

Thank you for the tags @perolesims and @simminnikas. 🥰

My Simblr resolutions are, um... 🤔

1. Start generation two! Lily and Michael need a baby asap! 😅

2. Complete fixing older posts that still have poor blurry screenshot quality. Reusing screenshots straight from Twitter rather than redoing them will forever be a regret since I joined Tumblr. 😧

@nocturnalazure tagged me in. Thanks 💖

My resolutions are simple, I guess.

I want to post again. I have the game running on my new computer, but I honestly I'm not even required to play for a bit because I have a ton of screenshots.

I want to get the Warriors mod out. It's almost feature-complete. It was out for alpha testing and got good feedback. It needs a lot of balancing for things like skill gain, which is a pain in the butt. The amount of work left compared to the whole project is really small. I really want to get back in the groove and wrap up this big pets project that I'm very proud of.

Pushing a little further, I have a shot at at least completing gameplay for the Samples. That would make me very happy. I don't like leaving things undone. Of course, I have to PLAY to do that, but you know what I mean 😉

"If you're tagged, share a sims or simblr related resolution and tag others to join in! 💖"

Thanks for the tag @aisakalegacy (and thanks for your kind words, and all the likes! )

So, here is what I would like when I can return to my game :D

Playing in new worlds!

I would like to put in downloads for you some sims of mine, or others that I would create expressly.

I also have ideas of sims that I have not developed yet, or not had the time to play with them. Here is one of them: Nicolas/Nikita, he was supposed to live in Bridgeport but I am still hesitant about the world he will integrate :D

I've been tagged by @nekrophoria and @simcatcher. Thank you both! 💕

It's hard to make good resolutions, isn't it? Most of the time, we don't stick to them and then we feel guilty. I didn't make any for 2024, but I found a post saying there would be at least 12 updates per year as usual. I could only do half of that this year. :/ My updates are longer than they used to be, but not by much, so I can only assume this is due to my lack of motivation for various reasons.

I don't like setting goals, I tend to think of them as constraints, so let's use a different term: I wish that in 2025, I can finally wrap up the current arc (with Jie and all that) and start on I've planned next for Laurie & co. This should be feasible, and I really want to get there.

In the year 2025, I will...

update the story more or less regularly.

reblog others' amazing posts and comment more (TBH, I think this should be everyone's resolution!)

finish at least some of my CC WIPs....

have fun and not stress too much about simblr etc.

What's your Resolution for your Simblr? Ohhh I have so many!!

Continue to stay consistent with my Star Sign story

I want to create character profiles for each of the main 4 (to start)

And summaries for each Part

Maybe add a little gameplay series (TBA)

And to keep up on all of your amazing stories and creations the best I can cos you all inspire me everyday!

What do you want from the Sims Franchise?

Gonna keep this simple... BANDS. I've gone on this soap box a million times, so I'll spare you... but basically music in general needs a complete overhaul + new instruments + bands and music groups and orchestra etc etc + omg CAS for different genres and BB for venues + a new big city world ... okay okay I wasn't gonna do this, but you get the idea. I just can't believe nothing like this has happened yet.

Any other New Years Resolutions?

I'm really focused on writing... I want to improve and start working on my own story (vs my current one based on legacy rules)... something more plot based. It's not something I'll complete this year, but I want to keep practicing and learning and growing.

Other resolutions I'm going to keep personal, but this year is going to be full of changes for me... I'll just leave it at that.

I'm going to tag: @edylin31, @passionate-pixels, @aheathen-conceivably, @cassandragoth26, @mdshh, @sirianasims, @zosa95

I was tagged by lovely Lana, @eljeebee. Thank you, my dear. ❤️

Now, I already did a post on plans yesterday, but that was only for the coming few months or so, plus way too long for anyone to properly read, so let's give this one a go (which will probably also be long, because let's face it, I'm simply not a woman of few words).

What's your resolution for your simblr?

I'm not actually sure? Sometimes, I envy the people who are able to keep their Simblr clean and organised by just posting actual relevant things. I often write rambles (I don't always think anyone truly reads), so the story might get a bit lost. But do I really want to change that? I don't know. Maybe my resolution for my Simblr could be to make things easier to find? But then again, if you want easy reading of my story and everything involved, one click takes you to my WordPress, which actually is a lot more organised.

I do have resolutions for the story itself and my writing, though! In 2024, I hope to expand my writing skills. Even though I write easily in English, the fact that it's not my native language still feels limiting at times. I often feel I could make a narrative or a dialogue richer if this was my mothertongue. I've been contemplating focussing solely on dialogue and image (like I did with the AU), but I find I sometimes want and need the narrative. I really do feel the need to sometimes give words to what a character is feeling or experiencing without them actually voicing it to another character. And precisely in that type of narrative, I see room for improvement.

As for ATOH, I hope to be able to do some other characters justice, too, aside from the ones I've been so focused on recently. Although, maybe it'll only get confusing if I bring too many characters in. So, balance will be the challenge, I guess. And, I hope to be able to bring everything together properly and in a way that makes sense. Especially now that I've changed my timeline for a third time...

What do you want from the Sims franchise?

I just hope TS3 remains playable at this point. My worst fear is my gaming laptop breaking down (I do everything on that thing, as there's no place in my house for an actual pc) and any new one being unsuitable to run TS3 with its very specific demands...

Other than that, I think it would be highly unrealistic to expect EA to develop or do anything specifically for TS3 at this point, and I have absolutely zero interest in straining my laptop even more by putting TS4 on it, which I know I won't play.

Any other new year's resolutions?

Oof... Umm... Well, I already wrote about how I'm struggling a lot at the moment (I'm at a very, very low point right now...) and as much as what I want for 2024 is to find my happy again, that seems like a huge ask at the moment. So I shall stick to the quote the Pinterest game brought up: "Never give up on the things that make you smile" and try to focus on the few things they do bring me joy. Which takes me back to the story, and now we've come full circle.
