#simblroflove

Hello and welcome to the first challenge of many!

This is something that @simmingkatie and I originally planned to do together, but then we thought why not spread the love around?

This challenge is really simple, and there’s no exact way in which to do it but the basics are: 

1. Every day, from the 13th of January until the 19th of January, make a post about one of your favourite Simblrs, one of your most supportive followers, a Simblr you feel would appreciate the pick-me-up. It can be any that you feel you would like to acknowledge

2. Your actual post can be set up any way you like. You can post a screenshot of a post of theirs, ‘borrow’ a photo of your favourite Sim of theirs, make it just a text post, whatever you like!

3. Say a bit about why you chose to post their Simblr. Are they someone you see supporting small Simblrs? Do they write gripping stories? Is their gameplay hilarious? Do they flood your notifications with love? Let them know why they’re important to you.

4. You can post one a day, two a day, one a day for 6/7 days and then make a list on the 7th day of others you heart. It’s entirely up to you, just make sure to post at least once a day!

5. The attached banner ^ and the hashtag #simblroflove were both created specifically for this challenge, so feel free to use those and to share this post so we can get as many people involved in this challenge as possible, and brighten as many days as we can!

Thanks for reading, and if you choose to - thanks for taking part! Spreading the love on Simblr is something we are both advocates for. You never know what someone might be going through and even if they’re having the best day you can still make it a little better.

Kedu! 

Have an Igbo greeting in honor of the Simblr I’m celebrating today, @shespeakssimlish​.

You already know this lady is creative and talented, outspoken and gracious.  Largely thanks to her, our Black Sims can stay looking sharp in natural hairstyles and beautiful ankara prints. Her Simblr is a diverse blend of renders, commentary, cc/wips, hilarious puppy pics, and some compelling stories.  

Day 6:

I’m a big fan of gameplay simblrs and I can easily get obsessed with keeping up with the lives of characters as they navigate the funny and crazy world that is The Sims.

But until recently, my dash was pretty void of Sims 4 gameplay simblrs and I made it a mission to fix that. Which was how I discovered @ladykendalsims and her Get Famous gameplay. 

I can’t get enough of following Kichi and her rise to fame and Noche’s obsession with her. Plus, there’s a Yeti in Noche’s home and I might have a slight obsession with all thing Yeti.  

Day 4

@nernershuman her sims are beautiful and her writing inspires me. I know she hasn’t been that active in simblr and more into into writing fanfic for Dragon Age but check her stories out you wont regret it.

I’m glad I had the chance to get to know this lovely lady and the moments we had discussing characters and writing.

Laiza! Girlie! My boothang! You know I have to start with you first. 

I didn’t even really know you before last summer...I just knew your extra sexy sim, Emilio. Having a bit of anxiety beforehand, I was really trying to be a part of your sim world. I didn’t think I had a chance, to tell the truth. I mean, me? Why would you want to have your extra awesome sim with mine? That’s what I was telling myself.

But you know what? 

You welcomed me with open arms and agreed to RP Graceland with Emilio. Not only that, you welcomed me as a friend. We chat all the time and I’m so very glad we do. We chat about sims and we chat about real life that folks in their thirties are a part of. (Yeah, we old.) I know I can come to you about anything and you’d get back to me with some advice or just some comfort. I can’t thank you enough for that. 

You and your sims...just wow. Be it Sims 3 or 4, you never fail to amaze me with whatever you come with and you inspire me to do with better with my own sims. Please, please keep up the good work. People love your work and it shows! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Desert Paradise and for our friendship. I love you, Lai!

Good Morning and welcome to the final day of my simblr appreciation week! Bet you thought I was done, huh? 😉

I’d like to take this last day to appreciate my followers. You are all truly amazing. 

The amount of support that you give me on a daily basis is overwhelming for me. It’s so wonderful to feel like there are actually people in the world who care about what I share. 

And the support when my story finished? It blew me away. Thank you all so, so much. 

I’d especially like to shout out to @izayoichan, @myopiccc, @toffeetip, @cantseemtohide, @ladykendalsims, @owly-sims, @elidxn, and @alittledaylight. You are all consistently in my notifications, and I see you. 😉

If I didn’t tag you, know that I still love you to the ends of the earth and I see you all, too! I just felt like I needed to wrap up that list, it was getting kinda long, lol. 

These little likes and occasional comments really keep me going, you all have no idea how much you mean to me. Really and truly, thank you for being a follower. 🥰

Day 6 appreciation post is for @cosmosim!

WowowowowowowowWOW I love cosmosim’s screenshots, okay? I can’t even describe how amazing they are so I’m including a little snippet of some of their work in this post so you can be in awe of the sheer talent, too.

cosmosim does an incredible job of blending aesthetic with in-depth storytelling. It’s absolutely amazing the kind of intensity and emotion they can convey through their visuals and dialogue captions edited right into the photos. Seeing cosmosim on my dash is always a treat for both the eyes and heart.

My favourite thing about cosmosim’s simblr is there is a cohesive visual theme in the way they edit their shots. When you look at a screenshot from cosmosim, you immediately know it’s cosmosim without even having to look at the name attached to the post. They have their own aesthetic and brand down to a science and it is flawless. I love when Simmers are able to balance visuals with storytelling and there is so much detail in cosmosim’s shots.
