Britt's Simblr

Mostly a TS3 simblr. Odd TS2 or TS4 post. Loves to disappear at random for weeks or months on end and then return with loads of spam for a few days or a week or two.

So my sims were going to go on a cruise for Valentine’s Day... obviously a bit late now but anyway.

Started listening to some music and went to open my game, gotta fix this ship ‘cause my game is being a butthead and not loading it correctly and it’s probably easier to just fix the ship than my butthead game so whatever. Anyway music while messing around in build/buy is good. Open up my game and “My Heart Will Go On” starts playing. So yeah apparently the iconic Titantic song is now the theme song for this ship too. :/ That should bode well, yeah?

One neighbour gets what they deserve anyway.

The other lived and strutted out just in time for the fire to put itself out.

Nicola set the house on fire. The neighbours took it as a chance to invade the now empty house and hang out.

Nicola ♥ My newest obsession.

Me installing CC for TS4 digging through my downloads, finds like 10 uninstalled files: ???

Where the hell did these come from?

These gotta be for TS3. They’re like a month old. Did I even play Sims 3 a month ago? It’s only been a month???? When did I have time to play a month ago?

OH HEY LOOK IT’S THE LEGGINGS THAT NEVER SHOWED UP IN MY GAME. THAT I SPENT LIKE 15 MINUTES SCROLLING UP AND DOWN LOOKING FOR.

Guess I know why they didn’t work.

Good job, Britt, Good job.

*buys tablet from Amazon*

Amazon pinging phone a day later "we thought you might like a new tablet"

Yeah. ONE Y'all. I bought a fire tablet because I'm broke y'all I ain't looking for ANOTHER new one. I already have an ipad anyway I just want something to use as a ereader at work that's less valuable because we have theft issues. How many tablets a girl need?

Though I guess it could be preemptive because Canada Post is the courier and they're awful and don't follow direction so I probably won't actually get the thing anyway.

A protest of sorts?

Ya know. We are ALL so done and over adf*y etc..

creators use that crap because people still download from them. 

So what if we just DON’t? Like drop the download count. Drop the minuscule income they receive from putting followers at risk. Sure, maybe we reallly would like that CC but it’s not  worth the dangers and obviously those who STILL use those links aren’t going to stop.

so maybe its up to us. WE stop.

Stop clicking the links. Stop downloading from creators who use adf”y.

I usually don’t reblog on this account,but this shit needs to be done. 

[brittssimblr]

Did this years ago when my 1000 dollar laptop was toasted by an adfly virus. My expensive devices are not worth somebody else’s literal cents.

To my understanding it is actually against the EULA you agree to by launching the game, too. So this is straight up wrong, if my understanding is correct. 

There is no justification to use adfly IMO. Look I get wanting to make a bit off something you put time and effort into. Be fair about it though. Asking people to put their devices and online security on the line is not acceptable. Throw up a donation link like some people have done. Do not use this sketchy shit. I don’t like it and it’s still against the EULA but I can even have some respect for patreon, it seems fairly safe... expensive as hell but that’s a choice to spend or not, viruses popping up out of the blue is not a choice.

It really really sucks because there’s a lot of beautiful content out there that’ll I’ll never get to use because it’s behind adfly, but I stopped using this shit almost 3 years ago, haven’t downloaded from it ONCE in that time and never will again.

So Just to let y’all know...

If you guys see THIS maranhesduve.club pop up on an ad-fly link asking for notification permissions just close your browser out. It causes a pop up virus to be installed on your computer. It’s obvious that some these “creators” don’t care about the people “supporting” them so it’s best if we got this information out there ourselves.  Also Ad-fly skipper can’t bypass this yet.

Finally getting a nice family photo again ♥

LMAO It's 3 in the afternoon and I'm at McDonald's grabbing coffee on the way to work. I walk in and there's some guy yelling about how "in Europe they only work 10 until 2. Bunch of slackasses". *continues to bitch for 5 more minutes* Like bitch you're sitting in McDonald's at 3pm on a Tuesday (looking like you've been there half the day already) disturbing the whole restaurant while you bitch about other people. You don't get to judge, slackass.

Well this is the closest I could get to a nice picture but I was working on a new sim. She does look lovely even if she does also look slightly annoyed.

And then my game froze so whatever.

[brittssimblr]

Me: *goes in the kitchen to finish washing pot for supper (mac and cheese was really hard on my poor pot, I’ve been cleaning the thing for 2 days >.<)*

Spider: *scuttles out from the corner and stops in front of the sink* 

Me: *backs out of kitchen, turns around, runs away* Well stomach you’re gonna have to quit your bitchin ‘cause we ain’t eating tonight.

Reasons I hate printers.

1. Try to print something, can’t find printer.

2. Several minutes and couple reboots later find printer, nothing prints.

3. Spend an hour fixing printer.

4. Says it’s printing finally. Doesn’t sound like it, but hey I’m pretty far away, maybe it is.

5. “Cyan ink has run out. Printing paused.”

6. Buy Cyan ink. Hey Yellow looks a bit low too, let’s have on of those on hand too(can’t really afford even 1 right now, so 2 new cartridges is killin’ me but I don’t want to get the cyan installed print 2 pages and be fucked and have just completely wasted money so let’s just deal with it).

7. Get home. Install cyan cartridge. Don’t install yellow because my printer won’t let me until *it* decides I’m out (don’t want to waste ink anyway, so I’ll just keep it close for now).

8. Printer does it’s thing to set the new cartridge. Takes fucking forever. Go to bathroom, make snack, come back… still not done.

9. Red flashy warning “Magenta ink has run out”. Of the colours this had the most when I was picking up cartridges so I WASN’T WORRIED. But god now I have to spend even more money, cause I just blew money on 2 cartridges and if I can’t use either wtf did I spend that for.

10. I can’t even start my project today because it’s fucking midnight so I ain’t getting a magenta cartridge now. So I’m sad because I just wanna go get shit done.

11. I know I’ll install the magenta. It won’t let me install the yellow, because just fuck it at this point. Let’s just stop fucking around. I’ll have to print like 2 pages of my 60. And THEN install the yellow.

12. IT’S A REALLY FUCKING HEAVY PRINTER AND THE WALL BETWEEN ME AND THE HIGHWAY IS REALLY FUCKING TALL SO IF I JUST HURL IT IN FRONT OF A SEMI LIKE IT DESERVES IT’S JUST GOING TO FALL BACK ON ME AND HURT ME BUT PROBABLY NOT KILL ME BECAUSE THAT MIGHT BE WORTH IT TBH.

13. After a full day and a half, 3 brand new cartridges, multiple driver updates, far too many failed attempts to get this bastard going. After basically giving up on this stupid thing and crying that I wasted so fucking much money on ink for a printer that’s dead anyway. Go to lie my head back and rest my eyes, maybe nap off the fact that I feel horribly sick at the moment. 

Very randomly because I haven’t done anything to the printer in 10 minutes and it says it’s offline...

*THUNK WWHHHHHHHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR CLUNK WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRR* HERE’S A TEST PAGE MOTHER FUCKER!

Yep. And there’s now a hole in the ceiling where I lept through when I jumped out of my fucking skin.

When you should be sleeping but play with CAS and photoshop instead.

Me after my neighbors finally finish whatever ridiculous rukus they were creating outside for the last hour (seriously don’t know wtf they were doing out there. Don’t know if I want to know): *takes a deep breath* “ahh finally peace and...”

Neighbours on the other side: *CRANKS THE STEREO AS LOUD AS IT WILL GO*

Well fuck my life. >.<

[brittssimblr]

Me staring blankly at CAS after deciding I need to make new sims: “Well, this is pointless. I’m just going to actually play my game.”

Me goes to get a snack while CAS shuts down, comes back and instinctively opens CAS again: “god dammit! That’s not what I wanted to do!! I hate myself.”

My game: “Here’s your randomly selected base sim!”

Me: “Well, I guess making a sim can’t hurt after all...”
