I was thinking about this last night and realised it might be a nice question for the group. Partly because I'm genuinely curious how you all turned to the hobby 🤭 What caused you to dive into storytelling as a hobby? Alternatively (if you can't remember), what part of storytelling do you like the most? I was an avid…
@Ellupelluellu Good question! Thank you for asking it 😊 Personally I'd want to say yes, I'd rather hear the negative feedback too. Not only the positive. If the parts of your story that can improve aren't pointed out to you, then you might never improve. Constructive criticism is important to grow as a writer and artist.…
Guinevere's actress approved of her potential new dress... 🤭 The cats and I are doing great! At the moment, life is good. We've got a new open closet that they are ecstatic to be able to throw things off. Here's both of them trying to become a potato:
Oooh, those are gorgeous! I'm definitely downloading those. Who knows; maybe I can put Guinevere's namesake on her one day 😁 thank you for the tip, it's greatly appreciated! Now if only there were more fancy clothes for guys, too...
Do you have MCC? If you do, there's a menu in there that lets you add, remove and change buffs, traits and emotions on your sims at will. I use that to control my sims' emotions all the time.
@GlacierSnow @SnowBnuuy Confident is great! Inspired sometimes also does the trick, where happy, flirty and fine are way more on the goofy side. I think I'm somewhere in between you two. I use EA expressions every once in a while, but only on select characters like Lionel and Gawain. Mostly when they're meant as comic…
@haneul @GlacierSnow I've experienced the same thing. Some animations have effects baked into them, but a good number of them don't. It's very much a gamble every time. Though if you really need a specific pose that has no effect baked in, you can always position the effects player underneath! It's a bit of a hassle, but…
@Ellupelluellu Glad you enjoyed it! 😄 @Sims4 Thank you! @Lucy Oooooh, really? I haven’t looked on there in ages. Thank you for the tip! Time to go poke around on the Sims Resource for a bit…
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg fun question! I used to do Halloween specials, season endings and bonus chapters depending on what was happening in the story. I still do the last two, though I missed Halloween last year, I think. I’ve even done a crossover story with another writer that was a lot of fun to make. The occasional “behind…
@Lucy_Henley New chapter, woo! My brain has liquified into potato soup after DMing the last session of a D&D campaign this weekend (milestone! Yay!) and it's probably full of weirdness, but I'm posting it anyway. Book and inevitable spellcorrect-round to follow tomorrow. 😁😆
Whew! This one took a while to come out. Sorry for that, guys! Sometimes life and game issues (and other games I may have been playing non-stop*cough*) get in the way 😆
Contests are fun! I voted for Katlego. There's something about her that makes her more interesting to me than anyone else (and the cast is already fascinating!). Let's see who wins! 😁
@Ellupelluellu @Sims4MagicalTales He actually was in the cellar, in a manner of speaking 😂 or at least, his USB-stick with data-just-in-case was in my basement. I put him back, removed all the CC from him, removed all of his clothes, saved him as a non-CC sim, made a new save, tried putting him back together there piece by…
-One week of tinkering later- HE'S BAAAAAAAAACK! ...And thoroughly unimpressed to be there 😂🤣 Right, screenshotting has commenced once more. Thank you everyone who came with suggestions and fingers crossed that I never have to do that again. 😆😅
@Sims4MagicalTales @Ellupelluellu thank you both for the suggestions! I'm making progress, but the game is really turning that sim into Murphy's Gawain at the moment. First he was gone from all household libraries including hidden ones. Then his physical sim kept glitching out and changing skin colour. Then one of the CC…
@MonaSolstraale Oh no, not sad Rasmus 😱 Gawain, get your bum back in my game already! @Lucy_Henley I have. Weirdly, he's not in any household. He's not in the "not in a world" households either. The teleport statue can't find him. His family has no realtionship with him and he's not even in the library 🤨 luckily I have a…
Hi guys! Quick update. On the bright side, I passed my First Aid Responder training and am now officially allowed to help in emergencies! Yay! On the flipside, my game has been acting up, the latest update messed with some mods it shouldn't have messed with and I seem to have misplaced Gawain. As in, I can't find him. 😅…
@plumsiebob Feel free to add your own thoughts if you want, if you haven't already! It's always interesting to read the opinions of other writers/readers/simmers 🙂 What is the most fun, well-made or memorable character you've ever written? Right, I suppose I should answer my own question 😂
Yay! So many replies! 😁 @hellohannah2 She sounds amazing! And that sims 3 picture under the spoiler is a huge blast of nostalgia, aww. I put so many hours into that game. Did she get an ending and reunite with her brother, or did the story end before its conclusion? @DaniRose2143 I haven’t caught up with your story yet -…
@Lucy_Henley Thank you! @Ellupelluellu I’m glad you enjoyed it! Oooh yeah, the forum won’t let you post comments unless you have at least… 4? 5? Characters in your comment. It doesn’t count everything that is under a spoiler. @Lucy_Henley BUNNIES! They look so cute! Also my eyes tricked me into thinking that tube in the…
@SnowBnuuy that's because I get way more wardrobe pictures of some characters than others... 🤭 I know what you mean, though. It's very easy to get attached to the characters in your stories, especially if you've poured a lot of yourself into them. They do come alive. Even if it's only to you. Writing characters is…
Whoa, this thread hasn’t been so lively in a while! I really enjoyed reading through all the discussions, and even picked up on some tips here and there. Thank you to everyone who shared them! I agree with haneul on @SnowBnuuy ‘s story with you really putting effort in how your magic and supernatural scenes look. You’ve…
