How do I blog?

StilettoBlack

My sim has 63 followers. He has made 15$ from donations. I'm clueless to how this works. He needs the money. Does it matter how much I type about whatever he posts? He is level 3. I've asked for more donations twice and have only 15$

Read this page on the sims 3 wiki: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Social_Networking#Blog_App

Look for the "gotta blog about it" moodlet from various events (depending on the type of blog your sim has) to know when to post to gain more followers. Offers to buy the blog don't start coming until the blog is at rated 4 stars, which is 1250+ followers.

I've never used blogging or the social networking skill for money. I don't know how much you can expect to make, but I wouldn't expect much for just 63 followers. It would be interesting to know how much asking for donations gets you on a 5 star blog (which is 2000+ followers).

Are there different kinds of blogs? I think I only have one.

I think they unlock with social networking skill. You'd have to double check the link.

Hello
This is a link to blogging.
http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/skills/universitylife/socialnetworking/

There are three types of blogs.
At level one you can have a personal blog.
At level three you can make a review blog.
At level five you can make a news blog.

Lol, this was moved to off-topic chat. @RosettasStoned , perhaps you should have mentioned something about University Life in your post.

I agree with TreyNutz, you should have mentioned University Life in your title. But not to worry, just edit your op to included University Life. And then move it down to the University Life Forum!

I seem to be stuck at level 3. It's going up so slow.

I have had that problem too in Sims 3. Help you if I could, but I don't remember how I sped up the time that it takes to level up the blogging skill anymore. Since I have not played Sims 3 Uni in so long.

Have you gone to 4? I haven't yet. I won't until they make weather.
My sim is a 3 star ... star. I take pics of his famous friends and blog about stuff & things, I'm still level 3.

I've been all the way to the top of that skill.
Sims 3 does have a weather pack, and it's called Sims 3 Seasons. Get that Pack, and you'll have weather in Sims 3.
