I'm now reminded that I need to go on the gallery and thin out the comments for my builds.
Overall I feel like comments sections just aren't adequate as a tool to build community. At least on the forum it's easier to have conversations and I can see how people are progressing in their build knowledge. When they get to a Sims 5 gallery I feel like a fave and download button is enough.
I agree. I often ask people either to come here or Facebook, when they want to actually talk about something, or need help. Bouncing back and forth is a bit of a pain.
@Pamtastic72 Wow. That person sounds like they could use some help. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that.
@darrenfroggy I get that. I get that way too. I'll see things here that I don't comment on right away and I feel bad, even though I'm sitting here and I can see it. I might be in a build at that moment. I might have my feet up on the desk and watching a show or a movie. I do try to get to it, eventually. Same in my Catalog. If people comment, I feel compelled to go say HI and reciprocate. It may take me a day or two, but I get around to it.
I think the community at large is great, compared to some, in some games. Of course, in any large gathering of humans, there will always be a few who just can't go with the flow and have to be difficult, hateful, mean spirited, whatever. I've played a lot of games over the past 20-some-odd years, with some pretty awful communities. Some were great. Most were pretty bad. I didn't even bother with the forums here until recently and I'm glad I did. It's led me to other resources like the Facebook Builder's Group which is wonderfully active and I created an Instagram account (I didn't even know what that was until then) and picked up a bunch of new followers and have been able to share with even more people; taught me a lot about building, got to be able to meet and chat with a lot of really cool people (that would be you guys) and, of course, given my ego a little pat on the back from time to time too, which after falling into a deep, dark pit of depression a couple of years ago and eventually climbing back out, could use a little pat every now and again. So, all in all, so far, over the past couple of months, the experience has been a major positive.
I really appreciate all of the feedback. I've learned a lot. Thank you!
