some of y’all need to learn more compassion for adults who are severely mentally ill or disabled… like schizophrenics who still depend on their family members and probably always will have to, autistic people who live in group homes, people with bipolar disorder who attend partial inpatient programs, etc…. people who couldn’t get college degrees, who can’t work. not everyone is like you.

I don't nap. I daydream. And I just had such a nice daydream. I was so tired and needed a break so I've been lying in my bed for 1.5 hours just daydreaming and relaxing. I just got up but man what a nice daydream. I feel so relaxed and calm now.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Lately I've been thinking about the ways that families, and society, just aren't taught to celebrate queer people.

Probably the most significant life change that my sister experienced as a young adult was getting married to her husband. They are both lovely people, and their marriage was celebrated by an expensive formal ceremony surrounded by friends and family. There was catering and beautiful clothing and a hired band and dancing and photographers. My sister and her husband were surrounded by people who loved them, and were expressing their love and their joy. It was considered normal and natural for the occasion to be marked, and marked well.

The most significant life change I've experienced to this point in adulthood has been coming out as trans. Like my sister, I bought outfits for the occasion (but wardrobe essentials rather than a wedding dress). Also like my sister, I filled out paperwork to change my legal name (although the process was significantly longer and more expensive in my case, and the change was met with confusion and annoyance rather than congratulations). The similarities ended there. There was no party. No one congratulated me. There was no sense of celebration. Just the relief of "Thank hell the paperwork's over with," and the exhaustion of having to repeatedly remind disinterested relatives about names and pronouns and Gender Studies 101. Years later, most of my family still misgenders me behind my back, and frequently to my face. Not "on purpose." They just don't care enough to learn.

But hot damn, coming out means something, motherfucker. Queer self-discovery is hard and it is long, and it is an achievement. It deserves to be recognized, and to be celebrated.

Looking back, I wish I had celebrated. I wish I had dressed up and insisted on a family dinner at a nice restaurant. I wish I had told people to send me congratulatory greeting cards. I wish I had demanded to be celebrated. But it didn't occur to me, much less to my family members. That's the extent to which we are taught to ignore the significance of queer experiences. I went through a journey that transformed my life, and it didn't even occur to me to celebrate.

And even if it had, I would have had to celebrate alone, at least in spirit. Because the same people who were so excited to show up and celebrate my sister's marriage, this major milestone of her adulthood, just fundamentally did not care about the milestone I had reached. They barely acknowledged it; it didn't match their own experiences, and so they didn't recognize its importance. Crucially: they didn't offer me congratulations or celebration, because they were never taught to. And that's a pile of rubbish. All this to say:

Celebrate queer family & friends with the same gusto you celebrate cishets.

Bitch.

The Child Birth Mod - Home Birth Update

The update is finally here! 😊

The home birth update is now available on my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/child-birth-mod-72894859

Public Release Oct 26th, 2022

This update allows your sim to give birth at home through water birth or bed birth

you can select ”Start Home Birth” once your sim is in labor

  hospital early labor actives such as “take a walk” “breathing exercise” can all be performed at home

Your sim will get contractions once every few hours, doing early labor activities will help the contractions to go down quicker

a new early labor activity called”Cuddle With Partner” is added, a birth partner is required for this interaction to show up

You may “Call Midwife” once you feel your sim is close to giving birth. You may do so whenever you like, but keep in mind they charge 120simoleon/hr.  You will get a notification and a midwife will show up at your door after a few minutes

You can get your dilation checked by clicking on a midwife.

This interaction can also be performed on any sim with a medical career

If you want to do water birth, you must purchase a birth pool from build and buy

make sure to leave plenty of space around it when placing it down, failure to do so might cause the bassinet to fail to spawn and yeet the baby into the middle of nowhere

If you want to do bed birth, you must purchase birth pillows from build and buy.

Bed Birth can only be performed with a birth partner, and Romantic partners are highly recommended because of the kissing animation

place the pillows on a double bed, make sure to leave plenty of room on the right side of the bed, the red rectangle indicates where the bassinet will spawn. If there are objects in that area or if the walls are too close the bassinet will fail to spawn and the baby will be yeeted into the middle of no where.

Okay I've been thinking this all week and everytime I see a post with links to some paywallers cc the thought grew stronger but I'm honestly not sure if Simblr is ready for this opinion and I'm afraid of opening a can of worms but here goes.

I really think the community should be moving towards just not even trying to download paywallers cc. Even if you are pirating it, someone had to pay for it and your use of it is going to provide free advertising for them. We need to cut the supply off, dry up their customer base. Many of you said the community doesn't need cc creators who are just in it for the money. If that's true then please put your money where your mouth is and stop using their cc. If we don't need them in the community then we don't need their cc!

i guess i'm maxis x now but i don't know how to say "that ship has already sailed and the life simulation game is unfortunately replicating the worst aspects of life" in a gentle way but i'll try.

for this to happen, it would require a complete shift in attitude towards this game, toward creators (not just cc ppl), towards patreon, and would require an honest look in how we consume content here in general. given how defensive people act here over the slightest bit of criticism (not just creators but the stans and the cc addicts who will enable and excuse the worst shit here bc they are down bad for middle part wavy pixel hair), you are not going to get that type of self awareness from a lot of the people here lol.

shit is collapsing around us and a 5 dollar bit of cc helps deal with that (i'm not taking that away from anyone) for the whole BUY BUY BUY thing to seep in here, has to be next level depressing bc not only do you have to buy this game (i don't anymore) but buy cc/mods for the game to even work. if you want to perform "fun" on this platform and get that rush of seratonin that likes on social media provide, you gotta have the best computer, perfect edits, showcase new cc (bc you got that extra money to show off what you bought or you get it for free bc you're some kind of pixel influencer) and honestly it gets exhausting after a while.

having your ONE little escape infected by a "keep up with the jonses" mentality is daunting as hell. i've been here since 2017 and in some sense, it was always like that on here but i think it got worse as edits/storytelling/gameplay was sorta of pushed aside for CC. i see a lot of people just up and leave bc other games offer a far more enriching and relaxing experience.

the only thing you can do to escape that type of psychic death is just...be a bit more mindful of who and what you interact with and who and what you promote, i guess. it's why i don't really promote cc people unless they're completely no paywall and i reblog stuff i like on main.

(also keep your boot on EA's neck to fucking fix this game. we can't keep getting collective amnesia every time they put out a nice trailer lol.)

I have a lot and I mean a lot screenshots of this queen. The thing is, she looked beautiful in every single one of them.

The only thing that bothers me is how the skirt clips in her legs, but, I am posting it anyway because this happens a lot when clothing chubby Sims.

Please please please creators, think about fat Sims too.

eye size slider;

I really don’t think anyone (even myself) expected that I’d be releasing this, but here it is: a slider that you can control to make your sims’ eyes larger or smaller!

Teen to Elder

Unisex

Uses the Front and ¾ view Mouth Corner > Left/Right Slot

Control by dragging the eyes diagonally

Replaces the EA Eye Size Slider (i.e. it’s a default replacement!!)

What is the blorp rule?

The Blorp Rule is that instead of getting stuck when you don’t know what to write, you just write in [blorp] and move on!

For example, if you’re writing a conversation between a character and their mentor but you don’t know what the mentor’s name is, you would just write [blorp] where the mentor’s name would be.

This also works for other things too! If you know how a scene begins, and how it ends but you don’t feel like writing out the middle, you might put in something like [Blorp: Figure out how character A gets away from the guards], or [Blorp: write in dialogue between these two characters later] and just keep writing.

The idea is that you don’t have to stop writing just because you don’t know how to write something out, or if you don’t feel like writing that specific part! You can use the Blorp Rule and move on to whatever is next instead of getting stuck, and getting frustrated. This will allow you to work on something else, without forgetting to come back to whatever you blorped, later. Additionally, if you’re writing on your computer, you can Control F “blorp” to find all the places you have to fill in, so you won’t be missing anything!

The only ones at fault here are perma paywallers and those who wait forever to release their stuff for free and that's on that. I do think it sucks that reasonable early access creators are caught up in this, but if it weren't for the perma paywallers, EA would've likely continued turning a blind eye and things would've been fine 🤷

nah y'all not gonna like me but early access ppl share the blame too. EA ppl never spoke up or held their own accountable so everyone's bag got fucked up.

they never policed one another when 2 weeks became a month or whenever they remember to unlock it. never opened their mouth over some of these insane tiers. didn't say boo when leo was copybotting all of second life and calling it "her creations". never said shit when people were getting threatened and doxxed over 5 fucking dollars (i can legit think of 4 mm creators in particular who participated in this behavior). y'all had groups of deranged individuals trying to hunt down that poor woman who ran that one site and still trying to take down rebels.

this is what happens when y'all leave the business class to police itself bc it won't bc the only thing the business class cares about is profit at all costs. this is why a lot of creators were a-ok with theft, threatening people, copying, etc. they don't have a moral compass bc rules apply to everyone else but them. there's a reason why government does step in and regulate business bc none of y'all would be going to college or school or have any semblance of a living if it was left up to business class.

another unpops opinion: this needed to happen to dead this fucking game.

patreon unfortunately has extended the life of this shitty game and whether EA ppl or perma ppl want to realize, they are partially (not wholly) responsible for why we essentially have the most unplayable 1500USD game on earth. no other eagame is this fucking borked and no other gaming community would accept this but cc and mods more or less served as some sort of bandaid for this broken ass game.

ea don't fix shit bc you modders will fix it for less than they pay actual developers. it's why they got bold and fired most of qa and most of the people who actually worked on this game. you go to the ea site and see the credits and see that less people are working on each release than before.

i feel if this community put their foot down when patreon shit came up, we'd have a much better game than this. ea would not be this bold to keep releasing broken pack after broken pack. ea would not be bold about firing almost all of the maxis staff and rotating through staff that can't stay there long enough to impact any bit of useful change. they would not be this bold to keep outsourcing the job to overworked and underpaid staff in india, while reaping in record profits. they would not be this bold to keep using gurus who work on the game as customer service and pr on twitter instead of actually hiring proper customer service and a decent social media team. they would not be this bold to use youtubers as independent contractors using their community goodwill and clout doing promo and marketing for a very broken game.

for the creators saying ea "stabbed them in the back" - a lot of you did the work for a multi billion dollar company for pennies on the dollar and ripped each other to shreds fighting over crumbs. this is how you will always be repaid. there's absolutely no winners here.

For me, EA updating their policy in regards to CC + monetization of UGC is a blessing in disguise.

I've been here since 2015, so I've experienced the metamorphosis of this community as both a consumer and creator of content. Over the years, as paid and early access content have become normalized, I've seen so many creators have joined in on the CC making rat race as a way to get some fast cash. Instead of releasing fun passion projects and interacting with the community at large, they work tirelessly to hit deadlines to meet patron, monetary, and follower goals. And there has just been this overwhelming feeling of loneliness and stagnation in the community? I cant quite put my finger on it.

I miss the days of us having fun, sharing our creations + inspo with one another, sharing resources, teaching one another how to create, etc. and ever since CC became so heavily monetized, we've stopped sharing with and encouraging others, and it's just plain sad.

If the prospect of profit is removed, I'm hoping we'll all support one another again and just have fun with creating, rather than worrying about our bottom line and boosting numbers. And if you want to and can support your faves? Do it! Like, reblog, share, donate if you are able. Just don't ever feel as though it's a requirement to enjoy this game, because it isn't.

I know my thoughts and feelings may seem unrealistic and overly optimistic, but I hope we can all come together again and enjoy our pixel projects.

For those Early Access creators that are disabled and worried about losing income!

Hi! So I am disabled and I use Patreon for donations only at this point, and the occasional requested mod. Now, since I am disabled, I am limited to working from home. I do not get a lot of donations, so I have never relied on Patreon for any income, nor would I have relied on it if I made a lot either. I knew it would be temporary, etc and I only wanted it for donations tbh.

So, if you are an EA creator and you are concerned about losing your income, let me suggest something for you! I use a website called upwork.com, and it is a freelancing website for ALL skillsets!

And I mean all. I have done proofreading, writing, marketing, social media management, and my mom got a legit 9-5 job making 20+ USD / hour through medical work. I have seen legit lawyers on there making bank too doing lawyer work. There is something on here for EVERYONE. I mean even boring easy data entry shit. Some folks will pay you to test apps on your phone too! I have tested so many slot games omg, who knew they were so popular? LMAO!

The catch is, that you have to apply for these jobs. That is it. It does not cost anything AND you can make good money if you apply yourself. Make a great profile, showcase your skills, and even take some assessments if you would like to, and boom you will get hired.

@jellypawss and @llazyneiph I was thinking of you two posting this, but this is for ANYONE.

If anyone is interested in using Upwork, and needs help getting started, hit me up! I have made a decent amount working from home using them, and I know all the tricks. ;)

My discord is ClaudiaSharon#5107 if you want help! Or message me on Tumblr here through DM. If you have questions, want help getting started, whatever, I can help! And no I won't charge you for it. ;)
