Reblog this if you’re a simmer 25 or older

Just want to know I’m not alone, feeling a bit unsure if I’m too old for this. I’m 26. But one is never too old for sims, right? :D

simpyre

*raises hands*

I will never be nor consider anyone else “too old” to play the Sims or any other video game.

So… here’s a little idea I’ve been toying with lately. As you guys already know, my computer got infected and hacked due to downloading some CC that was behind Ad.fly links. I lost my Netflix account to hackers and seriously risked losing my PayPal account, too. Needless to say, I won’t be touching an Ad.fly link (or other similar service) with a 10-foot pole from now on.

However, here’s the thing: I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling that finding cc that is not hidden behind a paywall or an Ad.fly link lately is becoming harder and harder.

And this is why I’d like to start an “Ad-free Creators United” project, a database/cc finds blog to make it easier for everyone to find creations that are NOT hidden behind an Ad.fly or Patreon link. To do this, however, I’ll need the help of a few fellow simmers, aka… YOU!

What are you looking for? TS2, TS3 and TS4 players who are willing to help me hunt down FREE custom content for sims games and help me keep the cc finds blog updated.

What does “free” content mean? Any cc creation that is NOT hidden behind an Ad.fly, Shorte.st or Patreon link.

Will this be something like Paysites Must Be Destroyed? Nope. The blog will be solely dedicated to promoting creations that are shared for free (with no Ad.fly or Patreon links) by their original creators. Basically, it’ll be just a cc finds blog for free creations. No re-uploading of pay content.

How do I participate? Send me an ask or a message if you’re willing to help me with the finds blog. Please, only send me your message if you’re ACTUALLY willing to work on this. If you don’t have enough time and/or are unsure on whether you can work on the blog itself, you are encouraged to reblog this post and spread the word around.

Fine, I want to take part to this. How many people do you need? For now, I’ll need:

2 persons to take care of TS2 cc finds;

1 person to take care of TS3 cc finds (I’ll be the other person :D);

2 persons to take care of TS4 cc finds;

Last but not least…

Are you a creator who doesn’t use Ad.fly? Get your name added to the database! If you’re a creator and you’re sharing your creations for free, please reblog this post and fill in the following form:

Creator name: [your name]

Blog url: [the blog where you share your sims creations]

Games you create for: [a list of the sims game/s you create cc for]

What you create: [CAS, furniture, objects, retextures, mods, traits, retextures, recolors, mesh conversions, new meshes? List anything you usually create for here]

I think there is a large portion of us that feel the same way about adfly, either from personal experiences or just seeing how shady it is. I wont shame anyone that uses it, that is a choice they make, but I do advise people to educate themselves about the possible risk it can pose, either as a creator considering using it, or someone looking to download cc through it. You can’t simply deny the number of people who have had issues as even I, someone that has a all-round antivirus, popup blocker, adfly skipper, and adblock have seen malicious ads try and get through those multiple defences. It happens and people are understandably annoyed by it. This is a fantastic option for us since it can often be hard to tell if something goes through these pay-per-click sites as they often go unlabelled, and if someone has put cc through multiple shorteners (yes, people do that and it’s not cool). So consider me in.

FYI to those saying all the cliche lines I have heard numerous times, an antivirus is not a 100% foolproof method of protecting your computer. Why do you think an antivirus updates? To get its definitions updated to be able to handle new and previously unaffected malicious files and attacks. It is why i will never use adfly as there is the risk of coming across something an antivirus or popup blocker cannot detect or stop. I want to congratulate all those that have never had an issue, but don’t think that just because you haven’t, that everyone else is lying or not doing it right. It doesn’t work like that. I have never been bitten by a tick, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist or people aren’t taking the proper precautions.

So I applaud you for making this effort, even if you are unable to get the people to help out in the end because in all the years I have been in this community, one of the worst trends I have seen is adfly. It is always nice seeing people saying they have had enough and actually do something constructive about it then bitch at the people using it which doesn’t help.

So here are my details:

Creator name: peacemaker_ic

Blog url: http://peacemaker-ic.tumblr.com/ also on http://simsationaldesigns.blogspot.com.au/

Games you create for: TS4

What you create: CAS Items for guys, Build Mode CC, Buy Mode CC, Maxis Match Addons, Community and Residential Lots, and lots of stuff inbetween.

Now back to cc making.

CITY LIVING GIVEAWAY (NEW DRAW)

So, as some of you can tell I accidentally deleted my entire account trying to delete a sideblog yesterday, because I’m super into not paying attention to what I’m doing, obviously.

Anyways, this is a NEW draw, so if you reblogged the other one, unfortunately those reblogs don’t count anymore since when my account got deleted my analytics app erased my content, so I can’t randomly draw anyone, being I don’t have that account anymore. The new draw date it also November 4th (Friday, which is payday) now, since I had to payout my domain contract when my url went offline. And there will still be FIVE City Living Amazon digital keys for five fortunate simmers.

So, let’s do this all over again. Rules and such:

You must be following me, and reblog this post

You must have asks on or messages so I can contact you

I will not post the winners publicly so people don’t get hassled for their amazon code but you’re welcome to post about it on your own accord

You can reblog this as many times as possible, but it won’t increase your chances since I use an analytics app that randomly chooses a user.

If you don’t respond within 48 hours, your code will be kept and I will draw a new person.

Good luck!

CITY LIVING GIVEAWAY // Ends 11/1/16

I made a post about how I pre-ordered City Living the other day and saw a lot of people who were saying they wouldn’t be able to afford it, and that left me a little sad. Unlike my previous giveaways this will not be sponsored and I’m putting aside a pretty penny of my own money. I only put aside enough money to purchase five digital product keys from Amazon, so there will be five people chosen randomly to receive a free copy the day it comes out.

The details and rules:

You must be following me, and reblog this post

You will need to have a legitimate copy of The Sims 4 base game in your Origin library (sorry pirates, ‘tis giveaway isn’t fer ye.)

You must at least have asks enabled, if you don’t respond within 2 days I will re-draw and pass the key onto someone else

The winners will not be announced publicly to prevent people from being bombarded or bullied / haggled to sell their code but winners can post about it on their own accord

The drawing will be on 11/1/16 on City Living’s release date- whatever time I wake up (probably around noon, usa eastern time zone)
