Do you know how to take a hair cc and remove the hair and just keep the bangs? if you do may I request it or do a commission? I notice that you do only recolors, I completely understand if thats not in your jurisdiction
As far as me being able to try it for you, it would depend on the original creator's tou (whether they allow edits or not). If they allow it, I could try to do it for you.
If you want to communicate more about this request, you can leave your email and a note about being this specific anon on > my request form < and we can discuss what hair/bangs you want to be separated to see if it's doable. 🤗
Hiiii, do you take request/suggestions? If so, would you ever consider making shoes like the manolo blahnik orchid shoes? I've been looking everywhere for them and can't find them
There's a version by someone else already made and released behind what seems to be a permapaywall, so I recommend hitting up the sites, chats or forums that specialize in helping obtain said permapaywalled TOU violating user generated content items, so you don't have to pay for what EA legally requires creators to release after an early access period. All that said, here is the tumblr post showing the paywalled version.
To answer your other part of the question, shoe cc is not something I am really interested in making except recolors of inspiring existing ones.
If you’re like me, the first thing you do in CAS is clear everything off the sim for a nice fresh canvas. This custom styled look (when coupled with Mizore’s hider mod) is intended to make that take as few steps as possible every time.

Thank you to @pyxiidis both for the original set of eye colors, and also for the generous TOU.

Update (Sept 10, 2023): Added infants and werewolves. Please redownload for those additions.
Note: The sort order for these is pretty high, so they should be together near the end of your eye colors rather than mixed up in the middle. I organized all my cc eye colors/sort order for personal use; if you’d like to change the order of these, here’s a tutorial by @syaovu

Item Details:
Base Game Compatible
Toddler Infant - Elder; Masc & Fem frames (Added infant support on June 16, 2023; please redownload)
1 Variant (per frame)
Custom thumbnails
Needs @mizoreyukii’s Styled Looks Hider to truly be worth it. If you’re overly attached to EA’s styled looks, this cc probably isn’t for you.
Removes all accessories, clothing, shoes, makeup, skin details (excluding acne and scars), tattoos, facial hair and hair (changes color to dark brown for adultFem + children, blonde for AdultMasc, red for toddlers for all of them now I believe (I can’t remember tbh 😅 - if anyone knows how to remove the hair without changing the color, please hmu)
Does not change teeth, eyebrows, eye color, acne and scars (I couldn’t get it to remove these last 2 categories)
Tagged for all outfit categories
Added overrides (June 16, 2023) for shoes/bare feet and masc frame nude tops to resolve the look not applying to those categories after one of the recent patches. If you want to use an alternate override from someone else and it isn’t compatible automatically, (only do this if it’s not working otherwise) open your desired alternative in Sims4Studio, navigate to the warehouse tab, tick the setting box for “ShowInUI”, and save the file. (Edit June 6/20) I’ve been informed by @asixteenthrose that even with changing your desired override to have the showinui checked, you still need my overrides for the styled looks for some reason, and the desired override can’t be in a subfolder/must be in main mods folder.
Added “Stripped Start” (June 16, 2023) which affects the accessories, makeup, facial hair, clothing, and shoes, but does not affect hair, body hair, skin details, or tattoos. You can have both Fresh Start and Stripped Start in your folder at the same time or not; they should not conflict with nor do they depend on each other.

Notes:
There is no way I would have been able to figure out this project without MizoreYukii’s How to Make Custom Styled Looks tutorial, so huge thank you to her.
This look is mainly for simmers who want nothing on their sim when they start in CAS. If there is enough demand for a version that keeps existing tattoos, skin details, and maybe hair; I might make that as a v2 down the road. After receiving nonny asks, I went ahead and added a version like this while updating the original.
I timed myself clearing every outfit category for a new sim using just this look as fast as I could, and it only took 15 seconds total.
I have added patch numbers to the files in case someone needs the outdated version.
Kijiko eyebrow texture defaults cause the fem frame teen-elder not to show Fresh Start.
If you haven’t already seen what Patreon has done, check out this PCMag article summarizing the events and this blog post by a security engineer with advice on what to do as a Patreon user. My reasons for unlaunching (and requesting deletion of) my patreon account/page align with the second link, so I don’t see a need to list them all here, but for your own privacy/e-safety, if you use Patreon as a customer and/or creator, I recommend reading into the situation and deciding what is the best course of action for you.
Because I’ve unlaunched it, my patreon download links specifically will no longer work. I’m not really spending any time or energy on sims right now, so I’m not updating them yet, but I will whenever I come back to creating/sims. My SFS and Google Drive download links should still work though. (Edit: June 17, 2023 - I have finally went through and removed all patreon links and replaced most of them with google drive links where needed.)
That’s all I have to say right now. Have a good day/night wherever you are and drink some water. 👋
“@TheKalino Great question. We’ve updated our Mods FAQ for The Sims 4 to clarify that all users must be able to access Mods in full for free, however creators may still run a reasonable early access period for their content. Check out the full FAQ here: https://t.co/5TyJMAi4iC”
^^ Official EA twitter stating the EA help article now reflects the allowance for early access.
I’m not going to go reply to all the comments from my other posts. Yes, early access is still allowed as the evidence in my stance post had already pointed to. ✌
My Stance on Perma-paywalls, Early Access, and EA’s “nEw PoLiCy”
I really debated even posting about this or not, but I’m seeing so much hate and vitriol in this community targeted against creators that have played by the rules for years and have treated their followers/the community with respect, that I feel I need to say “Please stop the hate”. This post feels super long, but I hope that it helps clarify the situation and my stances thoroughly and effectively.
TL;DR: There’s no new policy and early access is not retired. Your “evidence” isn’t actually evidence of what you’re claiming. Stop treating early access creators like greedy criminals for no other reason than they’re still practicing early access.

This post feels super long, but I hope that it helps clarify the situation and my stances thoroughly and effectively.
TL;DR: There’s no new policy and early access is not retired. Your “evidence” isn’t actually evidence of what you’re claiming. Stop treating early access creators like greedy criminals for no other reason than they’re still practicing early access.
Now that I’ve clarified that I am not addressing a “new policy” or an “updated policy”, let’s move to the hate some of you are harboring for early access creators in the community. Did you feel the same way about early access in relation to the EULA and community one week ago as you do now? If the answer is yes, then this conversation doesn’t apply to you. Since we’ve established the EULA/ToS for The Sims 4 has not been changed/updated, it should be obvious where I am taking this conversation. If you felt one week ago that simgurudrake’s allowance for early access was valid, then you still should today, as nothing has changed with the EULA. If you feel that an official sim guru (at the time) could not make that allowance, then that also has not changed. I’m not here to argue on whether or not early access is allowed, because the existing EULA would have it be a “no” and the simgurudrake comment (as well as an “EA App Team” member agreeing to its validity) would have it be a “yes”. I’m instead here to argue that whatever your early access stance was a week ago, that’s what it should be now. The only real change is that EA now has an actionable method of reporting EULA-violating creators and they might follow through on reports - that’s the only change and it’s not a policy change, it’s an enforcement change, which is different.
Edit: 350pm EDT : EA Help has updated the article to reflect early access still being allowed. So to all of the people who thought I was illiterate or stupid or whatever, turns out my stance was right. Please let this post die down now.
First off, to everyone claiming that EA “updated their policy on custom content”: They haven’t. This EA Help article that has everyone either celebrating, trying to figure out how to adjust, or outright going on a tantrum (specifically referring to a post I saw earlier saying stuff like “F*ck all of you” and “I’ll still love you when you all hate me” or whatever)- yeah, it’s not an update to their policies. It is a paraphrasing of the Sims 4 EULA; they used laymen’s terms to help those that can’t understand the terminology of the EULA to understand their already existing policies towards monetization of custom content/mods/”user generated content”. Some of us (including myself) asked them to do this via a petition we signed, which stated “To EA/Maxis, you have the time to release a paragraph-long statement explaining how the EULA relates to permanently paywalling UGC and the resulting doxing and harassment that follows players redistributing UGC that these creators have no legal rights to be committing crimes over. Use specific wording that cannot be manipulated, protect your players, and get yourself some easy positive publicity.“ EA did exactly this via the EA Help article. An End User License Agreement is not updated via a help forum article meant to help you “Learn about The Sims policy towards Mods” (their words); it simply serves as a rephrasing of the EULA to help users understand that permaaywalling cc has always been against the Sims 4 EULA. Please stop calling this a new policy, or an update to the TOS- it has not changed and saying it has makes the permapaywallers of the community feel like they previously had the right to practice permapaywalling, which has never been the case.
As far as my stance on early access, I like to go off not only the aforementioned allowance, but also the fact that the EA Game Changers/Creator Network program has had and still has early access creators in it as of today (August 2nd 2022). If we’re going off what EA does or doesn’t allow as the “right” thing for our community, you need to accept the fact that EA says early access is provisionally valid. If EA comes out and tells their creator network to stop early access, then that will be an actual change and I will agree with you at that point that creators should stop early access. Until then, stop shitting all over respectful creators simply because they continue early access if a week ago you agreed with early access.
“But Celaena, we asked EA Help via chat for confirmation and they said early access isn’t allowed!” ~ Asking EA Help via chat is like asking the McDonald's cashier what McD's corporate policy is on trademark infringement of the golden arches. I’ve heard they spoke with EA Help chat supervisors: asking for a chat supervisor to rule on early access is like asking your local McD's shift manager about the corporate policies on trademark infringement. They don't have the qualification to state that it is or isn't allowed, and quite honestly, they probably would have said the same thing a month ago as they are now because they aren’t decision-makers at EA. Without giving specific details as to my personal purchases, I’m going to use the fact that Amazon chat once refused to refund me for a purchase they never even shipped and I emailed corporate with screenshots of what a chat rep stated was policy; CEO Jassy ‘s assistant made sure I got my refund and told me chat was wrong. EA Help chat reps =/= EA decision-makers. EA Help chat reps =/= confirmation that cancels out a sim guru’s statements or EA’s creator network existing practices. Once more for those who may not yet understand: Chat representatives or even chat supervisors are not qualified to confirm something as against policy when EA literally has a program that provides early access incentives to creators who practice cc early access; if EA does not want or allow early access on cc, EA will make their creator network not use early access on cc.
“But Celaena, the EA Help article says cc has to be free for all users.” ~ Absolutely correct, but it doesn’t specify when, nor does the legally enforceable EULA, just as always. Perma-paywalling = direct violation. If you’ve never heard of “Contra proferentem”, it’s essentially the legal premise of "interpretation against the draftsman" when there is ambiguity in a contract (such as an EULA). Meaning, legally speaking (and I’m not a lawyer or law expert, so for legal purposes, this is in no way advice and you should look into the relevant legality yourself before you make decisions), early access creators could very well not face any legal repercussions if EA was to pursue them, which again is unlikely because the creator network supports early access creators. Early access does not require money as the only way to use a mod/cc because you can wait 2-3 weeks at which point it becomes free for all users, as required by the EULA and the EA Help article paraphrasing said EULA.
“But Celaena, you’ve always seemed against greed and paywalling in the community.” ~ Also correct. I’m against permapaywalling as it is against the EULA, the community's best interests, and is overall fuel for classist assholes to belittle those that can’t or choose not to pay for pixel clothing from every creator that makes at least a quarter-decent piece of cc or mod. I’m against early access that is purposefully longer than 3 weeks as a habit (frequency of like once or twice over the span of years is understandable when it was completely accidental/unplanned because maybe they genuinely forgot to schedule public release once or something serious came up). I do not see early access as “paywalling” because you have the choice of waiting instead of paying, therefore you could just as soon call it “waitwalling” instead of “paywalling”. If you can’t wait 2-3 weeks, then you might be the greedy one in the situation- and the reason I say might is for exceptions like pride cc being locked till the end of June or early July, or a game saving fix that’ll be patched/not needed anyway by the time it becomes a public mod. As a friend of mine likes to say, “it’s not black and white”. But as for the greys I choose? They’re closer to the side of early access than not.
“Celaena, there are early access creators acting absolutely horrible and throwing tantrums over this; they don’t deserve to make money off the community.” ~ Completely 100% agree with you there. That type of behavior should be seen as unacceptable here and they do not deserve money if that’s how they act. I want to specify here that this is not referring to great, respectful creators who have been explaining unfair treatment against them and asking for it to stop while remaining mature over it. This is referring to posts (and I’m not going to link it because if you haven’t seen it, you don’t need to) that are just like “Fuck you, fuck EA, you’re all going to hate me but I’ll still love you anyway, screw you,” etc. If you’re that creator, listen, I understand the hate that was coming down on you over continuing early access, but that response was a) clearly going to get you more bad rep and hate sent your way (to other readers, don’t send them hate, just move on from the situation please), and b) not at all the way to show you love your followers despite using those words somewhere in there. I’ve never heard of you before the last 12 hours, but I really hope you can find a better situation for you than this community you seem to hold rage towards; seriously, I do wish you well, it is not sarcasm. That being said, I want to see creators that react this way leave our community, but not by being harassed out, please just ignore these creators till they feel staying isn’t worth it rather than tagging or messaging them with a bunch of hate and attention. If any early access creator needs a tone reader before posting, just ask me or anyone else in the community, I’m sure there’s a lot of us who won’t mind helping you say the right thing the way you mean it. If you don’t care about what you say to the community and have the mindset of “can’t make money off you, don’t care what you think”, please get the fuck out and have a nice day. To the creators who do care about the community and are just struggling with what to do in this situation, please stay and wonderful day, you deserve the opportunity for people to choose to support you financially since you see them as people rather than dollar signs.
“Celaena, you’re just going off because you want early access money.” ~ If I get this as a response, I will genuinely laugh IRL because I’ve not only been on an accidental hiatus for like almost a year, but I also stopped even trying to practice early access back in like 2020 because it just wasn’t suiting my habits/self-discipline. When and if I create for the game again, it’ll be immediately free upon release, so I have no personal benefit from some of you chilling the fuck out about early access right now.
Put the pitchforks down and take a deep breath everybody. Do you want this community to move forward on a foundation of hate and vitriol? Or do you want it to be a place of understanding and actually coming together as a community to solve problems?
Letters to Creators
To the creators who a) are remaining respectful and community-oriented this week and b) are also continuing early access until EA publicly tells you using the words “early access”, I want you to know that I still appreciate you being here and I hope this situation gets easier for you going forward. If you don’t have the energy to write this much about why you’re not sure about the early access provision, feel free to link this post as an explanation.
To the creators who are a) are remaining respectful and community-oriented this week and b) are discontinuing early access to be safe, I want you to know that I also appreciate you for being here and that I hope followers continue to pledge to you without early access. If you decide to go back to early access after reading this post, feel free to link it as the reason why rather than having to summarize this ridiculously long post.
To the creators who are a) are remaining respectful and community-oriented this week and b) have already removed your paywalls, thank you for taking the policy clarification in stride and adapting with grace. You are also appreciated for being here.
To the creators who are not remaining respectful and community-oriented, please change that or leave. This isn’t the space for you. If you don’t like that, block me because I will not be arguing with you.
Reblog this post if you are a Simblr who WILL NOT DELETE THEIR ACCOUNT

It’s after midnight here, but the western side of the US is still experiencing Halloween, so I’m counting this as in time for Simblreen. I have three gifts this year. I hope you enjoy them, as I absolutely love them.

No Loading Screen Plumbob
I love custom loading screens, but hate how big and green the loading screen plumbob is! It blocks out a ton of the picture. So I recolored the plumbob to be invisible so you can admire the actual screen. The tips still show, so you’ll know if the game freezes or not still while loading.
I have tried for 4 hours now to find the original plumbob replacement that I recolored. I contacted them on Facebook earlier this year, but deactivated my facebook, and google is absolutely no help at all. If anyone can help me track down the original creator of the colored plumbob replacements, I would most appreciate it, and immediately update the credit in here. All I can find is replacements for the plumbob that’s in live mode, which is not the same thing.
First off, to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, I wish you a safe and happy Pride month. 🥳
Second, back in January, I got a request for a rainbow clapboard swatch to match the Westboro Equality House. If you don’t know what that is, here’s a couple resources about it _1_ and _2_. I had already sent the requested rainbow swatch and an extra swatch of the Transgender Pride clapboard from the house next door to the requester, but I wanted to do all of the pride flags (that didn’t have symbols or shapes on them because I am not skilled at offsetting portions of shapes and patterns in gimp to show dimension well). Due to having absolute trash memory and things going on in life, I haven’t done as much as I want on my cc projects, but I told myself I’d have to be a piece of shit to not finish these for pride month so ✨
Third, I have another pride related project I am hoping to complete this month, but as mentioned above I have literal garbage for memory, so please feel free to kick my ass in my ask box as a reminder throughout the month.

BGC
13 flag swatches, 1 separate blue swatch to complete transgender flag (done this way to match the house pictured above)
Found in Paneling and siding
Searchable with “Pride” “Siding” “Clapboard” “CDD”
+1 eco footprint and +2 Environmental score
2 Versions: V1 is lighter toned and less saturated, V2 is more saturated, vibrant and darker. The thought process behind it is that exterior paint fades and lightens over time from sun, rain, etc. so V2 is more light a fresh coat and V1 is like an older coat
Hey Anon, sorry it took me a few days, I tend to do more than asked for on these requests. I did the two color palettes from the DU skirt. As far as the animal prints, there’s actually a skirt that’s very close to this style in my Animal Print pack that releases in January, so I did not do any of my standard animal prints on this one, but I did 1 green animal print swatch and a whole bunch of other non-animal patterns. I was really racing against the clock today to post this before the new year hit my timezone 😅 but I did it with a minute to spare so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
To submit an anon cc request, please visit this >form< I love doing these.

Versions include:
VIP: 31 swatches
Airy Hamptons (AH): 21 swatches (I add a bright white swatch when I use the palette)

Patreon Early Access: December 28, 2020 @4:17 AM EST
Public Access: Jan 18, 2021 @10:01 AM EST
Extensive details below cut for future updates.
No DLC packs needed / BGC
64 animal print items + 3 accessory overlays for specific items to offer more versatility and customization
Each animal print item has 6 printed swatches (5 of them have extra swatch variations). The main swatches are the same as in this gif .
Custom thumbnails for easier finding in the catalog
There are 7 external meshes needed if you want to be able to use every single item, but if you want to skip external meshes, delete the files that say "NeedMesh" in their title. (There's technically 8 of these files, but one is only an accessory overlay.)
For full quality previews of each item before downloading, visit this google photos album
Between mesh edits and recolors, I included meshes from the following creators with TOU that allowed for that: @grimcookies, @maushasi-ms, @mysteriousdane, @nords-sims, @phsims, and @ridgeport. The linked preview album has each individual photo labeled whether it included a mesh and who the mesh is by.
Choose EITHER the whole pack zip OR the Mens/Womens zip OR the merged file(s) OR any/all of the separated files. Avoid duplicates.
(Please do not remove the cut when reblogging, as it makes the download links break later on when I reorganize and/or update.)
Notes:
The turtleneck dress is half from Get Famous and had an awful triangular distortion at the very bottom, which I patched, but when using the weight slider to the top few notches, the distortion starts to show again. I am still hoping to find a solution, and if you would know how to fix that, please let me know. I tried re-weighting it, but that didn't help. Neither did merging any of the vertices of the patch to the skirt.
The anon requested skirt from Jan 2020 has been moved into this pack and is no longer available at the old sfs link.
The very few items I mesh edited do not have the lower quality lods because I was a) not sure how to do that as I'm still just starting out with meshing, and b) getting horribly burnt out on this pack I've been working on since May- 7 months mate- and I wanted to get it out before it fell into the oblivion that is my "finish later" wip subfolder. I do plan on eventually adding the lower lods in when I learn how and can look at animal print without my fingers having phantom aches.
Multiple items were made BGC from DLC packs, but you do NOT need the packs.
One of my goals with this pack was that it could be mixed and matched a lot for more versatility, so really play around with it
The early access time was also going to start at 10am, but I got impatient and posted it at 4am while eating Fruity Pebbles a balanced meal... oops.
Thank you to @whimsims for testing and helping me find issues to fix before posting the pack. ❤️

No, Carole Baskin would not love this pack; it does not have tiger print.
I’ve seen some allegations circulating about simfileshare’s “owner” who actually is not the owner anymore which can be found by checking legal documents on the government’s website and doing some independent research on google. These allegations are not against the true owner of simfileshare and the person who they are against is not involved with sfs at all at this point, so I will continue hosting my cc on the site. If you don’t want to believe me, please do your own independent research by checking legal documents and filings about the simfileshare parent company and you’ll see it’s owned by a woman named Emma Kathleen Carpenter, who is the only “officer” listed.
Included meshes:
@grimcookies (Delicookies collab: all 3 tops, shorts, leggings, high waisted skater skirt and below knee skirt) (crop top) (Elysian collab with @ridgeport: rhea skirt and europa dress)
@maushasi-ms (pencil skirt, turtleneck, and legging texture)
@mysteriousdane (Amy turtleneck, Shelly boots, and Willow joggers)
@nords-sims (el sol top and bottoms, lulu v1 pants, silene 1pc and 2pc swimsuits)
@phsims (apple top and bikini bottoms, gym top and leggings, nola pants)
