everyone should draw their interpretation of the tabby queen with distinctive black markings from into the wild chapter 3

what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?

It's been a while since I posted my handmade. But now I'm showing a new comp

The Sims 3 was the first Sims game I've played, and I have tons of childhood memories associated with it. The Sims 4 allowed me to find another playstyle that I didn't know I enjoyed before, and generally, I've had a lot of fun with it.

However

The Sims 2 helped me, as unhinged as it sounds, conceptualize how people work a little better, or at the very least, how I work.

When I get a breakdown or a meltdown, what is it if not me hitting an Aspiration failure? Too many of my fears have been coming true at once, or I've been denied something enormously important for too long of a time.

5-7 traits of TS3 aren't enough, and neither are the 6 of TS4. They're too specific, and for how specific they are, there will never be enough of them to realistically describe a human being. Personality points work much better in helping my autistic ass conceptualize things, because they're not meant to be the end-all be-all to someone's character, only relative positions on 5 general and quite fundamental axes that describe the Sim's tendencies to interact with the world and themselves.

I can pinpoint my probable amount of points in each and the impact they have on my life.

The same with Aspirations as a whole. They're general and wide to be able to somehow accommodate any lifestyle and life-goal, and most importantly, a Sim can have 2 of them in hierarchical order, allowing for more nuance.

Hey, maybe I'm not useless, maybe I'm just a Pleasure primary. (and a Knowledge secondary) (Which is extremely funny since Pleasure is my least favorite Aspiration to play, but I'm quite sure that it is what I would be if I were a Sim.)

I'm sorry if this post makes zero sense. Had a bit too many Aspiration Failures recently and it's starting to get into my head.
