Content-wise I don't think I'm drawn to any one specific type of story, but sometimes the formats people use to tell their story make it difficult for me to get into them.
I don't follow a lot of Sims story blog and the ones I do, I don't keep up with super regularly. Because of this I hate when someone tells a single story across many separate photo sets. I'd rather that they use each photo set to tell a single, self-contained story that can be read on it's own or with their other posts as a larger story. If that makes sense? It's just easier for me to catch up if it's organized this way.
For instance, instead of using 20 posts to tell about your Sim going to the Spice Festival and meeting a guy with screenshots of them from every angle imaginable and every single line of mundane dialogue imagined between them, I'd prefer it if they'd tell us everything in a single post with a good set of pictures and re-telling of what happened and maybe not as much dialogue (unless someone is really good at writing dialogue, I'd prefer to imagine most of it myself) before moving to the next plot point in a new post.
If I had an active blog (mine isn't lol, it's pretty empty), it'd probably follow a similar format to those I like to read.
edit;; For those who have blogs for modelling their Sims/builds and not story-telling, the only real preference I have is that they list any CC they use or allow WCIFs. I don't use it anymore, but when I did use CC I would hate not being able to find things.
