Hi everyone !

Today, we will talk about Custom Content, and how to organize it, especially if you plan to merge your files with the Sims 4 Studio. Merging content  is a good way to make your game and your lot loading faster, as the game will have far less files to read during loading. It’s far better to have a few big files than a ton of small files ! So If you have a lot of CC, it can be really helpful.

Let’s be clear : I will not tell you how you should manage all your custom content, but only explain how I personally do it. Even if you don’t plan to merge your files, you may find here some interesting advice to fix your content, of finding a specific piece of CC in your folder.

I know that some of you will know about most of these tips, but I hope this quick (huhum…)  guide will be useful for everyone !

Sims 4 Stuff Pack Giveaway

I know everyone is hyped for Discover University, but I wanted to do something for the simmers that are still wanting some of the older packs. I was selling-my-possessions broke during the run of Sims 3, so I know what it’s like not to be able to afford all 30+ packs. 

So I’m giving away some Sims 4 Stuff Packs!

THREE simmers who reblog this post will win one Stuff Pack of their choice.

Info:

You must have an Origin account

You must be 18+ or have your parents’ permission

Only one reblog per account counts as an entry

You don’t have to follow me, but I would appreciate it! :)

I’ll use a random generator to draw three names on Monday, November 18, 2019 at 12pm EST. I’ll message/inbox the winners, and they’ll have 48 hours to respond before I choose another name.

If this goes well, I’ll do Game Packs next month before the holidays, so if you don’t need any Stuff Packs, stay tuned. Happy Simming!

Me too

It's not much, but to me it was a significant moment in my life where before, I always believed nothing like this would happen to me, that I chose the right friends who would respect me and treat me well, and strangers couldn't hurt me if I was careful enough. This changed that, it made me realise no matter how well you know the person, you are never truly safe.

It was the last day of school for the term, and I went with my best friend to her boyfriends house for a sleepover with his best friend who I knew relatively well. The night was good we were all having fun, and we decided to get out the vodka and start drinking as reckless teenagers do. One whole bottle later we were completely smashed, and went out for a walk. On the way back the boys decided to take a piss so myself and my best friend were alone for probably the first time that night. She told me, while being completely drunk, that her boyfriend was being more sexually interested than usual. No biggie, he didn't force anything on her she didnt want. So I asked her if she was okay and if she wanted me to tell him to stop, she said no because she wasn't concerned about it. I let it go. Later that night we're back at the house and all four of us are on two matresses spread on the floor for sleeping, of course her and her boyfriend are making out like crazy, so I start hooking up with the other guy. All is going fine until my guy stops with his hand on my pants and asks if I want him to go further, I tell him no and he complies, but at that second the boyfriend rolls over, tugs at my pants and says "go on, I'll help". I was insanely drunk but I dont think I'll ever forget him saying that. The guy with me pushes his hand away and tells him I don't want to, and then the boyfriend goes on to grab my boobs and say "why not?". I roll away from him, and keep on hooking up with the other guy. Im not going to let this ruin my night, I think to myself, it's just the alcohol speaking, I think.

And maybe it was, because he's a decent guy normally, and the next morning once we all woke up with splitting headaches he didn't remember, and I didn't ask, because it wasn't that significant, but for me it was a turning point where I really thought about the males in my life, and realised this wasn't the first time i'd nearly been a victim of sexual assault from someone close to me.

One night at a big camp with my friends I was sleeping next to this guy who was the favourite at our school, everyone loved him and he was the kindest person out. I was half asleep and he started to touch my ass, with no consent from me. He keeps doing this, feeling me up until I turn around to make sure he isn't possibly asleep and unconsciously doing it and ask, "what are you doing?". He looks at me, smiles and says "nothing". I turn back around, and after a while I pretend to fall asleep. He starts again grabbing me harder this time. I couldn't believe it, so I layed there till he fell asleep, and then so did I.

I have other times I could write about, I could probably make a book out of all the times I've been catcalled, slutshamed, been harassed on social media to send explicit photos, or had an experience like the ones above, and i'm only 16. Please ladies, don't be afraid to speak out, to tell men that what they're doing is wrong. Remember you're not alone no matter how big or small your story is. We're all in this together. #metoo

So here’s a few drawings of mine from a series of modern reconstructions of extinct animals reacting to outdated versions of themselves. These were rather fun to do, especially the Quetzalcoatlus (azhdarchids just have the perfect mouth shape for frowny-faces).

Please repeat after: The tyrannosaurus did not have feathers. The tyrannosaurus did not have feathers. One more time: THE TYRANNOSAURUS DID NOT HAVE FEATHERS

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

Actually, there’s a mountain of evidence to suggest that Tyrannosaurus did indeed have feathers on at least part of its body. Yutyrannus and Dilong are both close relatives of Tyrannosaurus from China that were found with feathers preserved around their skeletons. Relatives and ancestors of Tyrannosaurus all the way back to the Middle Jurassic have been found with coverings of feathers, and there’s really no reason to suspect the Tyrannosaurus would have been any different.

Tyrannosaurus’s earlier Chinese cousin Yutyrannus was also a rather large theropod, at around 9 metres long, and is the largest dinosaur yet discovered with feathers. Yutyrannus was covered from head to toe with feathers (literally!), and if a 9-metre-long theropod evidently had no problem with being completely covered in feathers then a 12-metre-long theropod partially covered with feathers shouldn’t have had any problems either.

I would also like to point out that large, flightless birds like ostriches, emus and cassowaries live quite happily in deserts, humid rainforests, and hot, dry shrublands, despite being covered in long shaggy feathers. This is because (A) they have large areas of skin on their legs, head, and underneath their wings which help to dissipate heat and cool the animals down, and (B) feathers do not work like fur. Yes, a large animal in a warm climate covered with fur would overheat, but feathers are different. Feathers allow the animal to regulate their body temperature both ways, warming them up or cooling them down. This would be huge advantage to an animal the size of Tyrannosaurus, which would need ways to cool itself off on hot days.

So yeah, feathers on Tyrannosaurus? Extremely likely, based on scientific evidence, and they also look pretty cool in my opinion.

Just one great dissapointment after another

Why you need to stop hating on '13 Reasons Why'

Okay considering everyone else is putting their opinions out there I thought I might as well contribute (apologies to anyone I may offend, not the purpose of this post, just my personal opinion feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.)

I’m seeing all over the internet and hearing from people that they really dont like the new series and honestly I really think that you guys need to chill on the producers.

I will mention that I have had a bit of a struggle with mentall illness and suicidal tendencies in the recent past (although my case might not be as extreme as some of you others).

• Firstly addressing the ‘suicidal people who watch this will see the suicide and rape scenes will be triggered’, there are literally warnings in the beginnings of the episodes that have graphic content, no friggin joke go read them again it LITERALLY tells you to be careful and not to watch if you think you will be adversely affected by the scenes.

• I honestly believe that this is a very good thing that this show has gone so viral, as even though some of you believe it will leave the wrong impression on some people, you can’t deny that this HAS raised suicide awareness all around the world majority in youth. People are constantly posting about how upset they are about Hannah’s death, and I have seen ones in which they want to know if they can prevent suicide which in turn- encourages them to research warning signs and how to help people around them. Not only that, but also because everyone (including me) is so absolutely inlove with Jeff, it raises awareness for drunk driving too! (and yes although there is the debate about wether he was drunk or not).

Nobody has ever made a show this front-up about suicide. Of course there will be mixed reactions. Yes everyone on both sides has very valid points and various published articles with facts about suicide percentages being higher or lower in different places. And of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and this is mine. Yes this could have effects on people who are sensitive to this content, but honestly with this much coverage about how you gotta be careful watching (again, THE WARNING MESSAGES ARE THERE.) you really have no one to blame but yourself if you KNOW you are a risk and you STILL choose to watch these episodes or perhaps even the whole show alltogether. No one is holding you down and forcing you to watch it.

I do think that people should open themselves to the opposing arguments and maybe people can calm down, stop blowing up at the producers and netflix, and just agree to disagree.

Thanks for reading 💘 and stay safe

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was a cinematic masterpiece

[http-lostmyhead]

For anyone who's taking a gamble on a possible relationship:

You have to remember, you're getting yourself into this okay? You're the one going in for it even though you know that it could destroy you. You're taking this massive fucking chance that he's gonna go for you. And even then, it's him. He's not the most loyal person on earth and we both know that. But even still, you're going in for it. It's probably one of the dumbest things you've ever done but I believe you can do this. Just please remember to not let this get to you, if it doesn't work out, remember that it's not the be all end all. Let it go, move on. You can get through this and you can come out successful just keep hope in yourself, and don't let it get to you. You are worth so much more but you think this is the right decision so, go for it. Believe in yourself even when no one else will. And remember, you gave her the chance to tell you no, you gave her the chance to save your friendship but she turned away like she didn't care because the only person she wanted to please was herself. She was being selfish, because you would have given it up for her, but she never even thought about giving it up for you even although you deserve it so much more. But don't worry, someday when everyone is grown we'll all look back and see that in the end you were the better person even if they all loved her now. This is a big leap, but you can do this. And if you fall, then you can pick yourself back up and keep on moving like you always have. There's plenty of fish in the sea and don't get beaten up about one small salmon. Remember the person you were before and don't loose them on the ride. Cast your line in and hope for the best. You've got this.
