Sorry I haven’t checked my messages for a bit - you must be so excited!! I hope you enjoy playing the sims 4! You’ll have to tell me your thoughts on it! ^^

I'm having a problem with my cc & cc magic and was hoping someone might be able to help :S

No problem at all, ask as many questions as you like!

I started my simblr actually because I started reading other legacies on tumblr/blogspot etc and thought it would be fun to get into writing and posting my own stuff. I kind of always had the stories swirling around in my head, but it’s nice to see them all concretely put somewhere since it’s such a big part of my enjoyment in the simming experience :)

I just started out posting and followed legacies I read and then used tumblr to find other simblrs, and the ball just kind of got rolling from there!

Having a simblr can be a lot of fun, but I think it’s important (at least to me) to remember that you have one to *enhance* your gaming experience. Don’t let it become a chore or an unpleasant thing for you, then it’s not worth it! And I don’t know how many tumblrs you keep up with within the simming community, but I have heard tell of some pretty bad drama that goes around and it makes people not enjoy their sims :( Personally, I have never seen any of this (except once, but it was over a very personal real life non-sims incident - I’m pretty sure the two knew each other personally, and it had nothing to do with simblr). So maybe it all just depends on who you follow, or what you do on tumblr ? I don’t know. For me, I just post my own stuff, read stories, look at pictures, and find cc, and I have never had any problems :) So personally I think it’s a lot of fun and it makes my game more fun too!

Oh wow, and it comes out so soon you must be very excited! Yes the CAS for ts4 was pretty cool, I especially liked how you can change their body shapes in this one O: You’ll have to let me know what you think of the sims 4 after you start playing!

And that is so sweet, I am so flattered! :DD I’m glad they help you enjoy your game :3 I’ve always thought the stories was the most fun part of the game ^^

:DDD You are so kind, thank you for welcoming me back! ^-^ I am enjoying my return to simming :D I hope you enjoy what I begin posting!

And I am honestly so unsure about the sims 4! The CAS demo was fun and the sims/graphics have definitely grown on me, I think they look lovely now. And the idea of emotions intrigues me… but the game is also missing so many things I have come to love, like Create-A-Style :( Then again, the sims 3 can be a paaaaaain to get working properly :S So sometimes I see stuff for the sims 4 and I’m like, “I can’t wait!” And then sometimes I’m like, “But sims 3… :(” So for right now I plan on trying it out, I just don’t know if it will be right away. O: I’m waiting to see how I feel after it comes out, so I can gather more info. Then I may just have to pounce on it right away, depending on what I see ;D

Questions:

1. When did you start playing the Sims 2? I bought the sims 2 back when it first came out O: (Woah that was like 10 years ago now)

2. What did you like most about the Sims 2? I loved a lot of things about the sims 2. I thought it was such a great step up from the sims 1. In the beginning, I especially really remember loving the different age states and how your sims could age. I also loved when supernatural sims came out, like the vampires and werewolves and plantsims (!!!) And I also remember loving the weather when that was introduced in seasons

3. What did you spend most of your time doing in the Sims 2? I played legacy families in sims 2, pretty much exactly like I do now in sims 3 and like I did back in sims 1 xD

4. One thing you won’t forget about the Sims 2? Dude. The ability to be able to zoom in, and things like that, just like blew my mind. Everything was so much more detailed than in the sims 1 I was just like awestruck, it was such an exciting time to be a simmer xD So I guess I'll never forget how cool that transition from the sims 1 to the sims 2 was.

5. One thing that annoyed you the most in the Sims 2? So I played legacy families, but when the family would get too big I'd move some of them out. And then since this was before the "active neighborhoods" of sims 3, I would keep track of the exact number of sim days that passed while I played one family, and then after like 5 sim days or something I would switch to the other families and play them for the exact same number of days so everything would stay in sync and I remember thinking that was just so tedious D:

6. How has the Sims 2 impacted your life? Pretty much in the same way sims 1 and sims 3 impacted my life: by sucking up all my free time. I have many fond middle school memories of playing when I got home from school and on weekends and whatnot :3

7. Will you be playing the Sims 2/3 after the release of the Sims 4? You know, I go back and forth on the sims 4. Sometimes I am like, so excited! And then other times I'm like, "but it's missing so many things from the sims 3 that I love :(" It may be the first time I don't immediately transition to the next generation. For example, I haven't played the sims 2 since the sims 3 came out, and I've only played the sims 1 once since the sims 2 came out. But I may actually continue playing the sims 3 after the sims 4, we'll see!
