PSA: Don’t take me too seriously on here—I’m just here for good vibes, jokes, and hyping people up. No clout chasing, no validation hunting, no secret agendas. Just enjoying the space and keeping it light. Thanks to everyone who’s made it fun. That’s it, that’s the skeet. 🦋

I feel you. Think of her songs Fetish, Good for You, and Come and Get It… I think she’d be decent. 😂

When I give you my number, it’s not solely a crush—it’s curiosity. I’m seeing what kind of energy you bring and what kind of relationship we will establish. Access to me is earned, not assumed. I don’t chase or wait on uncertainty. I move with clarity, and I match what’s given.

People gotta learn to find people attractive, & leave it at that. Cause I don’t have no more energy for a nigga calling me cute, saying I should let him get to know me, then he get my number & take hours to text back. & then we go days not talking. You could’ve just found me cute & moved on lol

You’re absolutely right. If I recall correctly, TS4 also lacked swimming pools on launch.

I hate to hear that InZoi doesn’t have much personality. 😩 As you said, it’s a beautiful game—when it works. 😂

My gripe w/ EA is they’re so money hungry. They remind me of Nintendo b/c they repackage the same game w/o substantial gameplay/quality of life changes.

TS5 needs to cater to the fans! 👏🏽

You better drive the boat! 👏🏽

What do you mean? 👀 Tell me more! I remember when InZoi first launched its beta and there were severe crashes and glitches in-game. I haven’t investigated since it launched. I hope it’s a lot better.

TRAYTRANADA @saintmercury.bsky.social · 1d

You get it! Yeah, it felt like the game was alive, and not just a generic set of animations and AI. The games after TS2 began missing that charm.

Also, the goals/achievements felt worth the effort of completing. The gameplay became a teeny bit stale in later games.

TRAYTRANADA @saintmercury.bsky.social · 1d

Side Note: I really tried to have my Sims standout so I could be highlighted in the gallery by TS4 moderstors. If that happened, your creation would get a spotlight and a “Maxis Curated” seal of approval—so, bragging rights.

They never liked any of Sims. They chose ugly, generic ass Sims instead. 🤬

TRAYTRANADA @saintmercury.bsky.social · 1d

For me, it’s TS4 for CAS and TS2 for gameplay.

— BARRIER—

TS1 was purely Maxis magic and it felt so different. It’s a classic.

TS3 was ugly as fuck.

Are you going to play InZoi? I’m interested in it.

TYSM! 🙌🏼 It took me a long time to hone my design style, but now I can make these Sims in my sleep. I can put any of the cc-heavy Simmers to shame. You can see the date stamps on the uploads, I’ve been at it for years. I’ve been playing since the first Sims game, as well.

I have a small, cult following for the Sims I’ve produced in CAS. My EA ID is GourmetSimsX.

My specialty was producing diverse Sims of color, without using CC. I also created a few base game families.

I put the game down once they removed the Gallery notification feed from view.
