To my dear Sims 2 Community

I need everybody to stop, pause, make some really tight fists with their hands, now shake them out.

Now breathe in, all the way. Hold it - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - now breathe out. Now do that twice more.

There are still efforts going on behind the scenes to get GOS back online (and Sims 2 Artists).

New hosting has been secured. The website php needs upgrading and this has not been working, but people are still working on it.

I know its hard when things happen and you don't know what's going on. But please, everyone, just calm down. Instead of panicking, jumping to conclusions, making angry posts, just chill, wait, breathe. Be kind, ask what's happening without getting mad.

And please, remember kindness and empathy. Lunie has been trying to update GOS for months, and she is exhausted. It's down right now, but not dead (yet).

im sure ur intentions r good but talking down to ppl in this tone rly isnt it, we're not unruly toddlers in need of the calm and collected adults to come in and explain the situation to us, we understand perfectly well what happened and how and we're not into it. we have every right to be upset at how badly this was bungled

this whole post is a gr8 example of the kind of fake high-ground toxic positivity that leads to situations like these developing in niche communities in the first place, bc some ppl are deemed to have 'offered so much' that ANY criticism of them no matter how valid is summarily dismissed w 'remember kindness and empathy'

kindness and empathy go both ways. where were the calls for kindness and empathy when @simnostalgia thankfully had the foresight to do his gos back up and got a hate train in response? why exactly does HL by default deserve our 'kindness and empathy' when their response has been nothing but dismissive and rude af?

this community is incredibly supportive and if any of this had been communicated properly the (frankly disproportionate to the size of the comm) amount of rly gifted programmers we have would have immediately offered to help and everyone else would have donated money and time to help back up and archive etc

ive been here 10y and have never once participated in drama or any kind of hate train, i was just abt the only person defending paywallers a few years back bc im so uncomfortable w everyone ganging up on one person, but thats literally not whats happening here at all. this is a lot of us being rightfully concerned that 1 person apparently can go rogue and hold smth that is a legit communal property hostage. i dont even care if gos is restored at this point but im rly over this kind of condescending attitude that is endemic around here

@teaaddictyt Does this seriously look like someone to you who deserves a little kindness and patience? No final reminder, just "oh use Simnostalgia's scrape on the way back machine" and "I told you all in march UwU" HL's tumblr has been blank for at least a couple of days (?) from what I've noticed. unless the url isn't https://www.tumblr.com/hugelunatic and Lunie was using something else. There was no announcement on GOS asking for help or a final warning that the site was going down and to grab shit now. So, where did HL ask for help or give any of us a heads up this was happening? I don't know if HL's tumblr was active earlier in the week and they just cleared it yesterday for harassment or when that was. (Assuming that I got the url right) Don't give your kindness to people who don't deserve it. Don't tell people who are upset by this that they're being childish or don't deserve to be upset. Go donate to hosting or volunteer coding time if you know anything about php. That's more productive than finger wiggling at all of us. NRAAS has a patreon and the lowest tier is 3 dollars a month. They asked for help with their funding issues after their host raised prices on them.

SimCave

The news of what happened to GOS makes this a good time to mention, probably, something that I didn't mention earlier because of the hate I received when I scraped GOS.

But I also scraped SimCave.

[317wounds]

Unfriendly reminder that if you're going to stop hosting something, give people a time frame to scrape it. Or; if it's because of money troubles like rising prices due to our Corporate Overlords attempts to shove AI down our throats before the shareholders get angry over a lack of investment returns: ask for a little help to keep it going. Either financially, or with coding and updating the website. You wouldn't believe how many people are willing to put time and hours into their passion projects. Or maybe you do since this is simblr. NRAAS has a patreon to help with the site since server costs went up because of AI. You can support them here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/nraas to help keep it running.

Tobi update since I haven't uploaded her in a while.

Tobi is doing well and has survived a move to a new place. Tobi has found a cozy new spot with a new VHS player dubbed Optimus Prime by my friend.

Tobi also has a new friend on the way, an RCA E13320, which I will give an update and a name on, once it arrives.

Another resource post

Now we are going to get into images I've sourced off of the internet in my Facebook history groups - most are paintings - close ups of details, etc. Not necessarily uniforms at this moment, but civilian male clothing.

This will be an ongoing series - I may queue them up and post every other day. I have Rousselot plates, etc - men and women's clothing.

@paradox-deity-vessel, @le4d-poisoning et al. Also tagging @anachrosims because I know they'd love this too!
