*LATEST ISSUE OUT!* Simsacious Magazine (My Sims' Backstories and Interview)

Wasting_NightWasting_Night Posts: 800 Member
Hey there! If this is your first time reading through my stuff I really suggest that you take a look at my Tumblr page. Refined versions of the magazines below are posted there. There's not much difference on the earlier versions below but there's a lot less typos on the site. Here's the link!

Simsacious Magazine Tumblr

So take a look there for the revisions of the older issues! It's ultimately your call where you want to read my work but either way I'm grateful that you took your time to check out my magazine!

The old stuff is below if you want to see them and all the glorious typos and grammatical errors. XD


So here's a thing I got going on. I know I've already posted these a few times but I just want to make a thread in case I want to do it regularly. I know it seems a bit too self-promotional but I'm just proud of my work. They're a bit of a long read so you might want to get comfy.

Here's Veronica's issue:

Please excuse any typos and grammatical errors you find - I haven't done much proofreading on some of the images but I hope you guys enjoy these. I think I put too much effort in their backstories. lol

    Have to admit I didn't read them properly but I will come back and do so when I have a cuppa and 10 min to dedicate.

    Images/layout are great.

    I saw them in the storyteller group and they are amazing! You are very talented and creative. Will you keep adding to their story in different issues?

    I'm glad you enjoyed them! Maybe I'll add in little tidbits in future issues (GTW adding in a detective career will definitely take David out of retirement) but I want to focus on different Sims per month.

    I actually just use Photoshop and in-game screens. lol

    Oh, wow! What a story that photo tells! So I guess this is why your spreads get my imagination stirring--they just bring up such a strong mood, so many questions, and they're so interesting!

    Like, why is she sitting there? What's the guy on the couch laughing about? Who's the guy in the hat, who's the woman coming in the room? What's she thinking about?

    They're really powerful and evocative! :)

    @CathyTea remember when I said you're getting me all motivated? Well, here's the FULL April issue with Samantha on the cover!

    COVER:

    ARTICLE:

    INTERVIEW:
    Simsacious_Mag_Samantha_Story_2nd_Page.png


    I had to change a few images around because I thought Samantha's black and white picture was too pretty to obscure with text. lol I did some proofreading on the text though some might still slip through. I also did some light rewriting on the article.

    I hope you guys enjoy reading Samantha's story and interview!

    Guys I need some input. I'm gonna start making this month's issue soon but I'm torn between two Sims- Paige and Taylor. Paige is in the entertainer career while Taylor is on the athletic track.

    This is Paige

    And this is Taylor

    Hmm... double-feature? They're both so amazing! Maybe one in May, the other in June? Special "Remarkable Women" cover that features both? (I'm not much help when I want to know about both, am I?)

    Don't worry, you're helping me out just by responding. lol

    And about the double issue thing- I'm actually planning on doing one in the future although I already have two Sims in mind for that. XD

    It's a good time to feature an athlete, I'd think - folks tend to think about getting fit this time of year, right?

    I'm not sure about the time of the year. lol I think that's usually after New Year's. Anyways, I'll take your suggestion as a vote for Taylor. I'll wait for a few more days to decide.

    About the pictures themselves- I actually just use in-game screenshots and Photoshop to make them. I just come up with some stuff to write and I'm off. lol

    Oh, yeah, you have the New Year's resolution crowd, but there's also a whole herd of "holy crap, I have to fit my fat 🐸🐸🐸🐸 in a bathing suit soon!" folks that mobilize towards the end of Spring. :)

    *FIXED IT!*I just realized there's a small typo and a formatting hiccup on Paige's interview. Sorry about that. I was too excited to show the new issue to you guys. lol

    Alright then, here's the May issue of Simsacious Magazine featuring Paige on the cover! I tallied all the votes here, on the other thread, and my friends' opinions and Paige won although it was REALLY close.
