    @CitizenErased14 - Here is something with sims laying down but you might have to photoshop out the towel or make it whatever color you want if you need it to blend.

    @CitizenErased14 I don't use mods but you can easily just use the "do sit-ups" interaction to get them lie on the floor in a pensive way:

    Okay, I'm back already with another question for everyone :tongue:

    I'm considering adding a "Characters" page to both of my story blogs, but I've never done it before! What type of info do you guys typically put (if you do a page like this!). I thought it would be an interesting way for readers to maybe learn more about the characters (including little facts about them that are more "off-camera"/don't come up in the story).

    I think @RoryGilmore34 has started a pretty good example on her blog. Her Meet the Characters thingy. I haven't done so yet on my blog but I have on my Simblr. I typically add their traits. For your blog it might be nice to see a short bio piece.

    One question here does anyone know how to get a sim to run instead of walk slowly? I have seen sims do it but I have no idea what the condition is

    @Julyvee94 I semi-figured this out for some screenshots before! :lol: I don't know if there's another way, but what I figured out is that it all has to do with distance. If you give a sim a short distance to travel, they'll walk there. If you give them a long distance, they'll run.

    If I ever need them to run, what I do is click "Go Here" for a spot that's much farther than where I actually want them to go, and they'll run to get there. :) Then I just make them go back to where I actually needed them for the next screenshot (if necessary)

    Thanks @octojenn I love the way she does hers! :)

    I now have one more question related to this :lol: I'm wondering whether I should stick purely to the traits the characters actually have in-game? Or how I write them? I find the 3-trait system so limiting haha So (for example) I write and play Lucas as a bit of a bookworm. He has that trait in my head, but not as one of his three traits I chose in-game (simply because there wasn't enough room haha).

    So would I list him as a bookworm on his bio? Hmmm...

    Ah good point, I personally would list the traits as you write them. I also use the extra traits mods for my game and that helps a tad.

    Good Whatever-It-Is Everyone. Today is another boring day for me. My dad stole my husband for fishing...again. Maybe, writer's block be darned, I'll finish writing chapter one for my new story.

    Thanks for the input! I think I'm gonna go in-game now (since I'm working on my bios anyway :tongue: ) and try to add extra traits to characters where necessary (I have a mod that I believe allows this!). That way, I'll feel better knowing my characters actually have all the traits I write them as :lol:
