Hi, I’m a fairly new simblr however Im almost on gen 2 yet I’m not getting any likes what so ever. Do u have any tips for new simblrs.

Ok so this message was sent over 2 months ago. I’m really sorry anon and I doubt you’re even reading this now or following me anymore lol but here’s some tips I guess?

  • Make sure your screenshot quality is good. Honestly this is probably the biggest thing that’s gonna keep people interested in what you’re posting because people like to look at aesthetically pleasing things. Get rid of your plumbobs, use tab mode, get some camera mods just play around with techniques to get better and more interesting screenshots. Obviously better graphical quality is going to make a big difference too.
  • Interact with people. Send people messages (off-anon) and just start talking. Reblog things and get involved with challenges or anything like that.
  • Share CC. This is definitely the biggest thing that will get you followers or just boost your visibility. People love free shit and love putting new things into their game. Even if it’s just recolours, which is pretty much the only thing I’ve done with CC, it’ll help with attracting people to your blog.

I think that’s about it tbh. I can’t think of anything else right now because it’s almost 11:30 and I’m meant to be sleeping right now because I have to get up for college at 5:30 but I tried. If I think of anything else I’ll add it later. I hope this helped at least a little bit? If you want more advice or anything feel free to send me another message, preferably off anon but if you’re shy I get that.

Hey there! First let me start off by saying I love your simblr I’ve followed you for a while now probably close to when sims 4 first came out. I’ve always wanted to make my own simblr but I suffer a lot from social anxiety so it has always stopped me. I was wondering if you had any advice that may be of some help to me?

Wow, thank you so much! That’s a long time to be following me, I appreciate that so much ^_^

I think the best bits of advice I could give you would just be to remember that #1 – you’re always gonna be anonymous, depending on how much of your personal life you want to share. If you don’t want to go into your life, your name, what you look like etc then no one is going to know who you really are so you don’t need to worry about that and I think it makes things a lot less intense. #2 – Simblr is about having fun, doing what you love and sharing that with other people and that’s why we’re all here so remember that!

Another tip I would give is to turn off anon messaging. Obviously it can be a great help to people (like you, who wanted to stay anon) but it can also be a hindrance and cause anxiety when you get rude/hateful anons, which you don’t want if you’re already struggling with anxiety. Turning off anon gets rid of 99% of people who want try to cause problems with you so I highly suggest that.

And lastly, drama. In this community it can be fairly easy to get involved in drama, but it’s also very easy to avoid it and stay out of it. If you don’t want to see any of it then keep a close-eye on who you follow and unfollow people who you see getting involved in or starting drama. You can also make use of tumblr addons to block certain keywords/tags to keep it hidden from your dash if you still want to follow those people. If you do get involved in drama then don’t panic! Drama in this community comes and goes like the wind – to begin with it’ll be crazy and seem like it’ll never stop but in 2 or 3 days it’s completely died down and people have moved onto something else.

Oh and one more thing! I know you suffer from social anxiety and I know how hard it can be but try to put yourself out there as best you can – message one or two (or as many as you want!) of your favourite simblrs off anon and just say hey, I really love your simblr and wanted you to know and wondered if we could be friends. I can guarantee the vast majority of people would love to be friends and chat with you! aka me

Anyway, I hope that helped and if you have any other questions or just want to chat please feel free to message me anytime 🙂

I’m currently in a long distance relationship and we haven’t met yet and its been 4 years. I’m scared that if we do meet things wont workout in the end especially because of your story. You’re still young (i’m assuming) so it’s never too late for anything to happen

Since you’re anon and it’s not clear in your message, I’m not sure if you’re looking for support or advice here and not knowing your age or previous experience makes things difficult too but I’m just gonna jump in and answer this as best I can.

I would say that personally 4 years is far too long to be in a relationship with someone and never meeting. I was with my ex for about 7 or so months before we met IRL and I don’t think I could’ve waited any longer than that. 

I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but trust me, things can turn out totally different once you meet and spend time with each other in person. You don’t know what kind of chemistry you’re going to have and if that’s going to work out in the long run. Thankfully things worked out well for my ex and I when we met and we visited each other regularly but it was hard. When we first met it was very awkward for the first few days and every time we met up again it would be awkward for the first few hours of seeing other until it felt ‘normal’.

Again, I don’t know your situation and why you haven’t met up yet but I think it would be best for you to have a sit down and seriously think about where things are going with your partner and meeting up ASAP. I have to be honest here, things might not work out for you. They worked out for my ex and I for 6 years and eventually it came to an end, but that’s ok. I still wouldn’t swap those 6 years for something else and I don’t regret those 6 years being with him. If you’re happy then enjoy it and live in that happiness. But if you have doubts and worries that are on your mind regularly you need to assess them and deal with them because they won’t just disappear.

I am still young and honestly it feels like I’m just starting my adult life for real. Since we split I’ve grown so much as a person, I’ve built so much confidence in myself and my anxiety has gotten so much better. I’m starting college in a couple of months and I just feel so much less stressed and just much happier. 

My point is, even if things don’t work out with your partner it’s not the end of the world. I know it might feel like it would be, I used to think that too but it’s not. Whatever happens anon, you’ll be fine and you’ll get through it ♥

I think you’re right. Your Ex is probably just lonely and thats why he’s coming back to talk to you. Don’t give in unless thats what you want.

I wish I could say it’s what I want because it would make things a lot easier and less scary (he’s the only person I’ve ever been with) but it’s just not. After spending over 6 years together the love I have for him will never go away but it’s not the kind of love that makes me want to be with him. I’m not in love with him anymore and I can’t change that. I feel like us speaking again would also be a step backwards and I don’t want to go down that path. 

I’m just wondering if your past relationship was a long distance one? and it sounds like your ex isnt happy that you’re okay without him

It started out long distance for the first 2 and a bit years, then he moved over here to live with me. 

You could definitely be right about that. I just know there’s no good that could come from us resuming contact. He texted me sometime before Christmas asking if I wanted to go out and I told him that I didn’t think it was a good idea and we should remain no-contact. I’m glad he kept to that so far but it definitely seems like my ex and our friend have been talking about it for this to randomly crop up.
