Tag Tuesday: The Plum Tree App

I honestly love the Plum Tree app because of the fact that I can put all of my sims family tree online to a source that isn't tied to EA. I know this sounds like it would be an app on your phone but it is really a website that you can download pictures to and put info in for your sim families. It's easy for everyone else to pull up your family trees and look at all the sims in them. Sometimes I love just browsing through all the amazing families that people have created in the sims. I have no clue if there is a max amount of generations you can have in a family on there. I really love some of the fun statistics that they have on their homepage such as how many trees have been created and published so far on the site. 


Some of the fun things that I use this website for is keeping track of my sim family on a place where you all have access to see it. In my family tree, you can see the sim, their traits, their aspirations their working on or have completed, life stage, and even little bios on all of them. I love updating their bios throughout their lives so they get longer and longer as the sim ages. I try to update mine religiously so that you can see everything in real-time as possible. A lot of times if you are looking for some spoilers in my game that would be the place to find them. 


Even though I absolutely adore this website there is a thing about it that I wish we could do with it. I really wish we had the capability to share pictures of just the tree. Right now the only way I can get a picture of my tree is to take a screenshot, which is fine but I really want to have a cute family tree picture. I don't need their traits I just wish it would have their names below their pictures. So when I want to do something like that I have to actually make another family tree of just my sim family. That's literally a minor thing and its the only complaint I have about it. 


The website itself I think is pretty easy to use. Once you create your tree you can give it a picture and bio about it. Mine tells you what my goal is with this family and link to here. Then you can add people to it as much as you want too and right now on here you can see how many relationships you can have. Adam right now has 5 relationships showcased on there. I want to update them since they are now on the tree. I think I'm going to leave them on the tree because it showcases how crazy his life has gotten. I don't want them all to have successful families and relationships. So I feel like I'm leaving them all up on there. Then we have Morgyn on there to explain Judith, and he is Maleficent's boyfriend. Steve also has a girlfriend on there now too!
