Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit Review

tanazmasaba

Two new kits for Sims 4 are out now, and if you are looking for an honest Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit review, you are in the right place! 

As someone who had an angsty teenage phase growing up, I was really looking forward to this new kit. And while I do feel that the items are a bit too limited this time around–even the previously released kits had a lot more CAS items–I am quite happy with what we’ve got. Here’s my review of Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit.

Saturday Spotlight: Week 1 Of May 2023

tanazmasaba

I have been rereading my older posts lately and it made me realize just how much I used to love doing weekly wrap up posts as well. There’s something about looking back on the week that feels inspiring and motivating. And so I’ve decided to start these weekly wrap ups again, with a not-so-original spin: welcome to my first Saturday Spotlight: Week 1 of May 2023!

I have never really participated in Community Voting before, but this time, they are letting us choose between Rainbow Core Style and Goth Fashion for Create A Sim items, so I knew I had to jump in and cast my vote for these kits.

What To Do When You Feel Overwhelmed

tanazmasaba

Have you ever been in a situation where you have all these plans laid out to get things done one by one, but then an unexpected crisis comes along and completely throws you off track? Suddenly, too many things are happening too quickly, and you wish there was a pause button so you could just take a moment to breathe. It’s easy to lose sight of yourself when you feel overwhelmed…and for the past couple of weeks, that’s how it has been for me.

Return From Hiatus + Updates And Confessions

tanazmasaba

After months of disappearing, I am back (again) and super excited to start sharing posts in this tiny little corner of the internet that I own. The past four months have been pretty crazy–2023 started off on a bad note for me, what with my father having a stroke on the very first day of the year.

Struggling With Anxiety: Things I Do To Cope With It

tanazmasaba

For as long as I can remember, I have always had crippling anxiety, even as a small child. But of course, back then, I could not understand it for what it was. And in the kind of society and culture that I live in, mental health issues are still a taboo topic and widely misunderstood.

It took me many years, but finally, in 2020, I began to actually work through my problems. And while I often feel like my family refuses to see my progress, I have noticed the changes within myself, the peace that I feel now, and I know that I am coping better every day.

Your Patience Is Your Power: Lessons From My 20’s

tanazmasaba

As I write this, I am exactly 25 years, 8 months, and 28 days old. There was once upon a time, (not very long ago) when I thought that by this age I would have been married, held a top position in a reputed company, probably done with my master’s, maybe settled abroad, and definitely with one child if not two.

Let’s take a moment while I laugh at my younger self.
