Historical Simblr Tag Game

I've seen this tag game floating around my dash a lot lately! So I decided to give it a try. Answers below the cut! 💖

1. What has been your favorite time period to play in or which one are you most excited for?

If you can't tell from my story, I love love love the aesthetic of the 1920s. In my first attempt at a legacy, the 20s was the most fun to play, and I can't wait to make it there in my new legacy!!

2. Do you have a favorite piece of historical cc? (CAS or BB)

So much. Basically everything by @gilded-ghosts and @happylifesims.

3. Who is your favorite sim currently?

My new legacy starter, Ottilia. I love the story I created for her so far and I can't wait to share it!

4. What is your favorite world?

Windenburg for sure. I love the style of old town, I love the countryside, I love the island (which is where I'm building my school of magic), and the bluffs is probably one of my favorite lots ever, just for the view. Henford and Brindleton Bay come in close second though!

5. Are you more gameplay or story focused?

Since I'm a writer I tend to gravitate more toward stories; I do like keeping it simple with gameplay sometimes, but I also feel like it's missing a lot of the drama and depth that I crave, so I like to take gameplay and either direct it or embellish it.

6. Do you like to play with pets in your historical saves?

I try but dying pets makes me so so sad! Way more sad than when my sims die lmao.

7. What's your biggest immersion breaking pet peeve with the game?

Anything to do with their cell phone. I have a mod that disables them from playing with it randomly, but I hate the calls and texts they get!

8. What's your favorite in-game historical item? (CAS or BB)

The laundry washbasin for sure (and the clothesline). Laundry Day is already one of my fave packs and I love that they incorporated non-electric ways of washing/drying clothes.

9. What would you like to see as a new pack or asset to the game?

This is silly but. A freakin teapot that's not an appliance. Even just the tea set already in game made functional (I swear there used to be a mod for this but I've searched high and low and can't find it anymore). Let my fancy Victorian ladies drink tea!!!!

10. What pack do you think is invaluable as a historical simmer?

Definitely Cottage Living. Before that I would have said Get Together, just for the world and the build/buy objects.

11. Do you have a favorite mod to enhance historical gameplay?

The Timeless mod. I know it hasn't been updated in a while, but the reason my favorite lot is the bluffs in Windenburg is because the Timeless mod makes it SO perfect by removing all the DJ stuff. It's just a cliff and a bonfire and an old pond and a view of the sea ♥

12. What's your ideal family size for playing?

Probably 4-5. I've had a couple 1 sim families recently and they bore me to tears without fail every time. For a legacy, 1-3 kids is a sweet spot.

13. Do you use poses?

I used to not use poses in my legacy but I'm trying to use them more now to integrate more storytelling!

14. Do you use any overrides in your game?

The override for books that @moon-simmers just put out is *CHEF'S KISS*. I also use a clothesline clothes override, and default skin/eyes of course.

15. Do you, or did you, play off-the-grid during your game?

I didn't in my first legacy, but I never tried it before so I'm doing it in my new legacy! It's surprisingly difficult but really fun!

16. What lifespan do you play on?

Okay this is gonna be controversial but I used to play on short, because I was afraid I would get bored with the legacy before I could get very far. The downside was that I never felt like any of my sims were very well developed before I had to say goodbye to them. So for my new legacy I'm going to play on normal and see where that takes me.

17. What inspired you to start playing historically?

I started playing a historical legacy back in my TS3 days because I liked the cc clothes and the architecture and I wanted to challenge myself. Also because someone released a Riverview edit called Jefferson that was empty and historical-themed, so I thought it would be fun to start a farm/historical legacy there. Then when I bought TS4, I found the Upgrowth Challenge, then decided to make a tumblr, and now seeing all the decades challenges on my dash has inspired me to start my own!

I'm not sure who on my dash hasn't done this meme yet... @nexility-sims @p1x1e-sims...? Regardless, if you haven't done this yet and want to, consider yourself tagged!
