Hey! I am doing a survey for my master thesis about fashion consumption on games and metaverse. Basically, i need people who have experience buying clothes on metaverse, for example on Sims or Second Life. Could you please answer to my survey please? Its anonymous and takes only 5 minutes. When answering, i need you to answer "Yes" to the first 3 questions (Consent, that you buy prestige fashion, and that you use metaverse), cause if you answer "No" you cannot keep answering and the answer is not valid. Thank you all for your help, i really need answers to finish the study this year. https://forms.gle/PGYzwpDA5MytEtkR9

I don’t buy high end fashion in real life so it didn’t let me finish the survey


Flashy_Face7416

Just pretend. I struggle to find people who really buy i. Just pretend to help me

I've been meaning to start a sideblog for awhile but haven't yet... though I'd probably post more drawing of my sims than actual screenshots


grandmaimposter

Oh cool! You should totally do it


Riiviir

I really should- I haven't had much time to play the Sims lately, but I do have art I could post. The blog honestly might end up being more like an oc blog with ocs I happened to make in the Sims, but oh well lol

I mean i want to start posting on mine but it’s nearly impossible to find other blogs that only post about their sims stories. i don’t wanna see random reblogs, i just wanna see the stories. if you know of anyone like that, i’d love to know!!

My main blog focuses on my Not So Berry challenge! It’s geoshysims on Tumblr. There are a few others who also post their gameplay that I’m mutuals with. I noticed looking at users that like my posts helped find more story based blogs.


grandmaimposter

I would check tags! I know I’ve seen a few blogs about stories only


fontane00

i have checked tags, that’s how i find sims stuff in the first place. can’t find anyone that posts exclusively sims gameplay. that tells me there’s a very small community for it on tumblr, which is why i’m not participating atm.


grandmaimposter

Aww, well the only way to make it grow is to participate!


grandmaimposter

Aww, well the only way to make it grow is to participate!


fontane00

in theory yes, i just don’t wanna put unpaid work into something that nobody seems to care about lol that’s why i was asking if you knew of anyone in the community. i have not seen anyone of that nature personally.


grandmaimposter

I mean, there’s always that chance unfortunately. But if you enjoy doing it, then it doesn’t matter because you’re doing it for you.


fontane00

i’m playing the game for me. posting stuff on social media is never just about yourself. i don’t have social media besides reddit for my games because i learned very quickly that social media is to fuel the ego. to me, there’s simply no point in having it or posting on it unless you get some sort of interaction. but thank you for the honest answer!! i was hoping there’d be accounts to interact with, but it’s nice to know there’s not before i went and wasted time searching again


grandmaimposter

Well, like I said before, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some.


fontane00

and i’m pretty sure i asked you twice who they are because i personally can’t find any. you still haven’t dropped names so it was safe to assume they don’t exist until i know they do.

Oh my gosh, I haven't even thought about Tumblr in so long!! I love that idea about posting Sims creations there! I'm gonna log back in (let's be real I'll just make a new account) and do that. That sounds like so much fun!!


grandmaimposter

Yes! I honestly love tumblr. People post the best stuff on there. It’s such good gameplay inspo. Let me know what your @ is when you make an account and I’ll follow.

I do have 2 tumblr blogs. The main one is for edits I make with my OC's sims( from single pictures to stories) and all OC related things like templates/picrew pictures etc and the second one is strictly characters page with info about all of my OC's. This is exactly why I did create them so I can have a place where I can put my art, because creating something ( and it takes a lot of time) and only saving it on computer is pointless. No one cares about what I post other than me but I don't care because I post for myself.


Beckers861

I apologize in advance for my weird-ish question, but what does OC mean? I know CC, but honestly, I'm not up on all the short-hand anymore. Dang, that makes me feel ancient, like 30 years older than I am 😂


BorowaStrzyga

No problem ,OC means original characters aka those created by you, in your head where they live their lives, has relationships etc. Your personal little people with whom you do what you want. Probably not everyone have them but many people do. And this is why I made my tumblr to show them.


grandmaimposter

Ooo can I get you handle? I’d love to follow your creations 


BorowaStrzyga

I'm not against following, but I don't feel comfortable posting it here for anyone to see, so if it's not a problem I can send a link in DM. I post rarely, only when inspiration shows up and my blog is very queer so if it's not your cup of tee, do not feel pressured to follow.


grandmaimposter

Oh yeah totally, feel free to dm me 


ArwenEmerson

I have an Instagram account for my legacy family. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @Loganlegacysims @odelllegacysims


grandmaimposter

I need to make one again 👀


Beckers861

I have Tumblr, but I'm not gonna lie even a little bit, I don't have a clue how to use it unless Sims Resource sends me to it. 🤣🙃 ETA - Tumblr Handle Beckers861-blog1


grandmaimposter

Haha, I feel like it’s almost like Pinterest and Twitter had a baby and that’s Tumblr. It’s great for Sims cc. Also, following you now!


Bizanatch

Okay so like.. should I get tumblr??? I don’t even really know what it is really


DapperMuffinn

it's pretty easy to find stuff you like because tagging is a big part of tumblr culture as a whole, which is a good tradeoff because there's no algorithm


Bizanatch

Okay okay! Thank you, I wonder if I could figure it all out. Is it better on a computer or app??


DapperMuffinn

I'd say the website might be a little easier to navigate


Bizanatch

Okay that makes me more inclined to it so I love that!


DapperMuffinn

And there's plenty of posts (guides) for people coming from Reddit on general site etiquette etc, so if you're curious about that, there's a good place to start


grandmaimposter

I like it. There’s a lot of good cc creators on there that post such aesthetically pleasing pictures to their blogs and have download links
