Sims 4 Confessions Pt 2

I once made a "meathead". Big, strong, handsome fellow who was mean, evil and obviously has some steroid issues. I was curious what he would do but, after watching him for a while, I really started to dislike him. So, I built the old trusty Box of Walls with rugs, fireworks and fireplace. I felt bad but, I didn't. I scare myself. ? ?

@Justa_G00f in response to your post about builds from a week or so ago: Being good/bad at creating something is an entirely subjective thing, what one person likes another person will hate- that, and we all have to start somewhere. Some people have really liked some of my builds that I considered to be mediocre at best. Don’t compare yourselves to your favourite builders, or to the famous or more experienced ones. Take inspiration from others but don’t try to completely emulate them at the same time. Keep going until you find your own build styles that makes your houses yours (if that makes sense). Just do your own thing and it’ll all work out in the end. Perfectionism kills creativity a lot of the time, and so long as you’re having fun nothing else really matters with it.

@SnowBnuuy Thank you for your kind words! I always appreciate positive inspiration, especially from a trustworthy bunny! ?
I've forever been super critical of myself. It acts as my quality control but, you're right, it also has potentially toxic aspects. If my build doesn't have that Wow factor or, if game glitches are preventing me from obtaining it, I'm not having that much fun. (Sim traits Creative & Perfectionist)
Finding tips and videos has helped a lot and, what I learn from others, I apply to my own style. I can't be proud of it if I copied it or if it even looks too much like something I saw.
I get the feeling you have a Sims channel or something? If so, I'd like to check it out, if you don't mind me borrowing ideas.

Thanks again and nice meeting you!

@Justa_G00f No trouble! Being a creative sucks sometimes because it's so darn easy to just want to give up 24/7. Yeah it's finding that middle ground of not being too over critical, but also evaluating yourself so you can still improve on stuff. It's a hard middle ground to get to XC
I'd really suggest this guide which covers all the basics but also gives different tips and ideas as well.
(I guess my TS4 confession is that I only just found out last week how raising or lowering Foundations on houses work : P It's funny how I've been playing this game for years but am always finding stuff out.)
Also take a look in the Sims 4 Lots thread where people post their houses and such! I don't have a channel but I have a builds thread you're welcome to check out! And last but not least you can always look online for exteriors/interior photos to give you layout ideas.

Sometimes when I'm playing a family and a sim is an elder I will have them take their dog for a jog until they die of overexertion. I end up feeling really bad for the dog but not for the sim...hehe

My Sims make me hungry when they eat.

I have mentally asked a Sim “What’s with the moodlet, dudelet?” on at least two occasions.

I don't put a Sim based on myself in the game, I have done it a couple of times via a friend's request, but I avoided that household afterwards. Never have been a fan of naming characters after myself in other games either.
I spend more time creating families, or coming up with ideas for what my town will consist of versus actually playing the game, which I find kind of lacking, but putting a character in it makes it less so. What I mean is that instead of a Sim doing a random act, a Sim Elsa is doing that task kind of thing. It makes the game a bit more fun for me.

I haven't played the Sims in 2 weeks. ??

Ever since the TS2, I've always had a household with at least one servo

When Discover University came out for TS4 every household I've made that day forward had at least 1-2 servos
