“Berry sims” is a term used to refer to a specific style of sims known for colorful skin, hair, and eye colors along with clothing that matches. I see a lot of confusion and interest in the regular simming community regarding our sweet little segment, so I thought it might be fun to whip up a little beginner’s guide to berry simming, as well as answer some frequently-asked questions. I hope to answer many of these questions and more in the following post.

How do you find all of the clothing that matches the hair colors and skin colors and eye colors? And probably mostly you’ll be wondering what compels people to sim in this style. To a regular simmer playing non-berry, or vanilla, sims, it may be confusing how to even go about simming in this particular style. You’ve seen them on your Tumblr dashboards, colorful, “eye-searing,” sims with candy/fruit/flower/etc names and carefully selected color schemes. I think that’s all the background a non-simmer would need to at least begin to piece together what I’m talking about, but seriously, don’t be upset if you don’t understand. Often these legacies will add on other rules to the generic 10-generation rule, one specific type I reference in this post is the “rainbowcy,” where each generation is meant to represent a different color. I go into more detail below on what kind of style that is, but it’s basically become its own little subculture on the Tumblr “simblr” community (portmanteau of “Sims” and “Tumblr,” referring the wider community of Tumblr blogs devoted to documenting the lives of their sims mainly through screenshots and written stories.) One type of story, the “legacy,” is generally when a simmer takes one sim and then chronicles their entire lives and the lives of their descendants for ten generations.

When remaking the files I took this as an opportunity to improve upon the colors.Are you ready for yet another super niche post? I feel like this one requires a bit of preamble for the regular, non-simmer viewer of this blog before I jump into it, though perhaps I’m being a bit optimistic to suspect any non-simmers will be interested in a post like this.īerry simming is a term used to describe a certain style of playing The Sims. You will find them organized like in the red square below! The old skin colors will still work with these new skin colors in case you don’t want to get rid of them (but the genetics with the old colors will still be messed up). To get the genetics working properly again with the custom skin colors, I ended up having to re-make all of the files from scratch. Hi guys! So after the latest patch/expansion, I noticed the genetics were not working completely in my custom skin color files, even after editing them. *Note* These files are FULLY functional with the GTW expansion, that’s the whole reason I updated these files yet again! I tested them extensively within my game which is fully updated and patched as of.
