Day Four: Ghost

Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

at the start of 2021 I began an occult themed legacy challenge I designed 👽💀🧛🏽🧙🏽🧜🏼

I’ve been tweeting about it regularly but I thought I’d also post about it here ! I’m on gen 7 currently but this blog is going to start at the beginning and catch up from there.

spoilers I guess, but here are the legacy challenge rules I’ve been following (subject to change after playtesting):

TS4 Occult 10 Gen challenge

the goal is to playthrough ten generations of occult and occult-oriented sims with family dynamics

I would suggest at least doubling the elder lifespan with MCCC so that you can have generations interact a bit more.

I'd encourage you to fill out the worlds (or find a save that has) and stay within the sim's home world for each generation

feel free to do multiple aspirations in addition to the one listed for those sweet reward store points

each generation has: home world (and a population suggestion), aspiration to complete, career, and skill focus

i love you fanfic authors that write AUs. i love you fanfic authors that write canon. i love you fanfic authors that write unhinged things specific to their niche interests. i love you fanfic authors that write against the grain of fanon interpretation. i love you fanfic authors that add to fanon interpretation in even more rich ways. i love you fanfic authors with low self confidence, with all the confidence in the world, with 3000 subscribers, with 2 subscribers, who have written a million words and ones that have written 100. i love you fanfic authors who haven't written a word yet but the stories are still knocking around inside your head. i love you fanfic authors!!!!!!!
