The Sims 3 Was The First Sims Game I've Played, And I Have Tons Of Childhood Memories Associated With

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.

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Did you find this helpful? If you’re able, maybe buy me a coffee please? :D

A fun little DBH detail I noticed

if you take alice to the abandoned house and meet ralph, he’ll have a disappointed reaction to you leaving, unless you leave immediately after demanding to stay which will understandably confuse him.

normal reaction:
