Should I change my creator name?

Hello, everybody. I have a couple (sort of) of questions. And I thought this forum might be the best (if not, please let me know and I will move it). 

  1. Should I change my creator name?
  2. What content would people want the most? 

I've had the name LolabelleSims for quite some time now, but I haven't really done much with it. I have a Tumblr and a TSR page, but that's about it. For a while, I was active on Sims 4 Studio as Fwecka, as well. 

My point is that I'm not well-known, but I am somewhat-known, if that makes sense. 

I'd like to really do more with my stuff. I'd like to have a name that people know, and...LolabelleSims. It's a silly name! Not exactly professional. (Plus, I think there are a couple of creators out there with similar names.) The name Lolabelle carries meaning for me — it was my daughter's nickname. She passed away 11 years ago. And she is why I'm hooked on Sims in the first place! But does the name work if I want to appear professional? I don't know. 

What do you think? 

As for content, I love, love, love gothy/vampire-ey things. The drama of it. But I also like cutsey-Kawaii things, too. But I also love romance (lace, rosebuds, etc.), too. But I also love high fantasy (as in Lord of the Rings, Skyrim, and Witcher) type of stuff, too. But I also love period items (the 1700s, the 1800s, the turn of the century), too. (I'm talking about European and American styles. I would happily provide content from other cultures if it's something people would like.)

Do all of those genres? Some of them? None of them? 

CAS only? Build/buy only? Both? (I want to do both.)

Bonus questions: What else do people like to see on a creator's Tumblr page (or whatever site a creator would use)? Tutorials? Do people enjoy gameplay shots? WIP shots? What about WCIF? Would that make it worthwhile to visit a creator's site? I would provide what you want and what you would appreciate.

Bonus another question: Is it better to stick with one type of thing? e.g., just shoes, or just hats, or just lamps, as DOT did for Sims 3 at TSR. I would rather widen my range, to be honest, but it's not about me. I want to know what matters to you. 

Please share feedback!
