They be trying to scare you about living in Asia as a POC, but it's sad that even with the sexual harassment, micro aggressions, and fat shaming, I still feel a million times safer and at peace then I do in today's America.

Hi. Just checking in to tell you I'm engaged and traveling around Japan now. K bye.
Just popping back in to say “Thank you!” to all the likes and follows I’ve gotten on my Sims stuff recently. I mean, I don’t know why so many people suddenly decided follow a super dead blog, but it makes me happy to see that ya’ll are out there still enjoying the silly little things I made once upon a time.
(Also, I’m going through a breakup so catching up with what’s going on in the Sims-o-sphere is helping to distract me.)
The Sims Community & Greed
It’s crazy to me that some people that create poseboxes and other custom content would expect to be compensated for it. I’ve given my time and energy to share my custom content for over 20 years now, and I have never once thought about charging anyone for anything. Asking for donations is one thing, but to force people to pay you is entirely another.
I don’t like the greed that I’ve been seeing in the Sims 2 community via patreon these past 2 years, and within the sims 4 community it’s absolutely revolting.
I get that it takes time and energy to make things, but expecting people to pay for them by signing up for a monthly fee is just so greedy. Especially when your platform is totally free, you use sims fileshare to share files, and half the things you make are taken from other creators.
Greed is ruining our world faster than we can do anything about it, and I will never support greed. I will freely share pay meshes all I want to, and I will continue to support those that make pay content free. Just so we get that straight, I’m drawing a line in the sand because I’m sick of this shit.

even when they’re not outright stealing, it seems like a lot of the people who think they’re entitled to charge for content don’t have much experience in other creative communities, so they don’t seem to understand how to interact with other people in those communities, or value any effort but their own. but when the act of creating something involves the usage of tools made by other people, it stops being a matter of “i made the thing, so i can sell the thing.” you’re required to not only take into account your time and energy, but that of the other people in your community.
this is true even when it comes to physical crafts. the example i have the most experience with is knitting/crocheting. almost every pattern provided for free online comes with a usage policy. policies vary between creators, but one that i see a lot is that what you create with a freely-provided pattern cannot then be sold for profit. so, even though you made, say, a shawl with your own time and materials, the pattern you used to make it was someone else’s, something that they spent their own time and materials testing and refining. and you simply could not have made the item that you did without that pattern, and everything that went into its creation.
sometimes a commercial license will be offered to people who want to sell the items that they made with that pattern, in which case you would pay a certain amount for the pattern and then you could sell the items you make with it, just like you would if you bought a book of patterns from a craft store. but some people choose never to offer their patterns as something that can be monetized. and then there are some people who don’t care at all what you do with their patterns. but either way, the pattern-maker gets to decide how creators interact with the tool that they provided.
can you ignore a usage policy and sell the things you make anyway by justifying to yourself that it was your time and your materials and so you deserve money for those things? sure. but it’s an incredibly narrow, selfish mindset, and it’s a great way to get shunned by the community you purport to be a part of and make it a miserable, combative experience for yourself. no matter how entitled to your own position you may feel, stress is the enemy of creativity, and being the village asshole is pretty stressful.
that’s the thing about communities, they require cooperation. just because you can be a dick, doesn’t mean that you should. and if you set a precedent of dickishness, well, don’t be surprised when other people respond in kind.
Yeah, I thought I’d go on hiatus but the hiatus became longer and longer as I came to the realization I’m 1000% done with Simblr after realizing I was using it (among many other things) as a crutch, keeping me from taking the steps to get my life together. Like, I became so familiar with making Sims content as my “hobby”, “to relax”, from such a young age I didn’t realize I was literally just addicted to it. Like, staying up nights putting meshes together while scrolling through Tumblr updates to where I would consistently lose sleep which affected my school and work performance. Like, literally turning down actual dates and invites from people I really liked, where I could have had a lot of fun, to get my “big upload ready”, which wasn’t alarming at all because I was “just an introvert tee hee” … Countless weekends sitting alone in front of my computer clicking and compiling pretty pictures of the inner world in my mind, instead of living that life because I was too comfortable in my solitude, I hated myself, and was (secretly) too afraid to fail if I left it. And this obsessive behavior was reinforced by being in a community that proliferated it.
This blog will remain open as an archive but I will no longer reply to asks or WCIF’s unless you’re a creator looking for mesh parts or wanting to take over any of my old projects etc...
tl;dr: Even amidst the pandemic, I’ve been making huge strides in therapy. I’ve faced my trauma. I’ve stopped worrying about things I can’t change. I stopped deluding myself and making excuses to be weak. I’m conquering my eating disorders. I’m almost at a healthy weight. I’ve learned healthy and productive ways to cope with my depression and stress. My skin is clear. I fixed my sleep pattern. I like myself. Partly because I quit Simblr. This blog is closed but it still has downloads tho.
hey! wich skin and eyes replacement are you using?
I’m not using either. I’m so extra I remade all of the Plesantview premades in bodyshop and replaced them using some method I found on Insimenator a million years ago.

Guess I found new inspiration cuz I’m super nostalgic for that mid-late 2000′s trash look right now.
Got some inspiration after not even wanting to look at the game for months. I’ve been converting some meshes and trying to revamp Corrine’s old Punkjunkie bodyshape because I have a few sims who are supposed to be very slight and Maxis just doesn’t cut it.
I stayed up all night with a friend once just shooting off a bunch of dumb jokes criticizing all the stupid shit that happens in the in the idol industry. We started just bringing up stuff that annoyed us, then that lead to, “What would happen if a bunch of hapless misfits and goofy exaggeratedly terrible people came together to form an idol group?”, and that spiraled into some outrageous scenarios and I’ve been workshopping a story about it… anyway here’s one of the characters in sim form.

The Volatile Ice Prince
The first thing people notice about Martin, (known as Wenjie to his parents), is his noble and elegant appearance. Stick around a little longer and you’ll realize the irony in his flighty and impulsive nature.
Fortunately, he belongs to a moderately wealthy family, sheltering him from consequences and giving him the freedom to grow up doing pretty much whatever he wanted.
Since he was very young, Martin had a habit of getting easily fixated on a subject to the point of obsession. He’d be unable to think or talk about anything other than his current interest. Begging and annoying his parent into perpetually shelling out cash, sacrificing what little time they had, to entertain their son’s constantly changing hobbies.
First it was skiing, then tennis, chess, photography…ultimately spiraling into knitting resulting in an array of half-finished projects laying abandoned about the lavish family home. But within a month young Martin would either lose interest or quit outright, in frustration, after realizing he wasn’t immediately good at something. (He even walked out before the end of his first piano lesson!)
It was fate that his class took a school trip to the local ice rink when he was in the 6th grade. Though he’d never thought about skating previously, the moment he took to the ice he became an instant prodigy!
That same day he came home and announced to his weary parents,
“I will become the figure skating world champion!”
From then on, he dedicated himself to the sport and over 6 years gained numerous accolades and amassed an international fanbase. He was finally going to realize his dream.
And there he was in the arena preparing for his final performance, boasting a solid score after completing his short program skate, putting him in third place.
Everything was going as planned until, midway through his routine, he abruptly stopped, turned, then silently made his way off the ice to the confusion of the audience, his coaches, and his parents.
This caused a media storm.
A day later press conference was held announcing the young phenomenon’s retirement at age 19.
Upon this declaration, the reporters scrambled for an explanation to the sudden end of such a promising career. Was it illness, injury, some kind of personal issue?
In response, Martin blinked twice, slightly confused, and causally replied, “I’ve gotten too good, and I just don’t feel the thrill anymore. I think I wanna’ try something else, now.”
hey! this is a random question but ¿wich lightning mod are you using in your game?, i really love your job, really. you and cassis inspired me a LOT! i hope you enjoy your life more now and stay safe :D!
Hi! Thank you so much! I never know how to react when somebody tells me I inspired them to do something. Sorry, if I seem awkward, lol. I’m not really sure what lighting mod I have installed. Most likely it’s that Gunmod one from Modthesims. I’d be too lazy to use anything else. But if you’re judging by my posted photos, just letting you know, all my pics are edited to hell and back so that’s not how they look in game at all.
Thank you for all you’ve created and done for the TS2 community! Glad you’re taking a step back and getting toxicity out of your life. I hope you come back someday, though. This community can be amazing at times, but also very damaging. Tumblr and livejournal and dreamwidth especially, I remember that era too. Stay safe and be happy, and please have a wonderful day ❤️
Thank you for the heartfelt message! I’m not totally gone. I still lurk and like posts and stuff but I’m just super burnt out on playing and posting cc and all the politics behind it, y’know. I’d rather focus my attention on other interests.
I agree, this community is amazing most of the time.
Be happy and safe as well!
hey! i really love your blog and cc but i was wondering if you were able to make anymore edges? i adore the others you made and was just wondering :) thank you and be safe ❤️
Thank you so much for liking my blog. You have no idea how much it means to me. I’m sorry, I won’t be creating anymore. But the previous edges were a conversion of part of a set of TS4 edges by Mimilky. It shouldn’t be too difficult to make in bodyshop. :)
There isn't enough 80s-themed items for Sims 2. Thank you for all the cc you've made so far! <3
Couldn’t agree with you more! There is no where near enough 80′s stuff out there! Thanks for liking my stuff!
Still changing the idol group from my previous post around. Gave this guy a makeover and I think I want to make him the center of the group now? No name yet tho.
