When I made a Black Lives Matter picture a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to create an event in the first place but I was lacking of time and thought maybe it would be too serious for the sims community. I hesitated a little because I know some people like to think that the sims is a perfect world without any social issues but personally, I’ve always preferred to play realistic and my sims stories and RP always include real life problems and Ezekiel’s character is in great development lately where he is becoming more of an activist and wish to be more involved and louder about social issues that he cares about. So the other day, I was having this discussion with my friend Simflux, we got motivated and we came to the conclusion that it would be a great idea to host, together, a rally for everyone who would like to show their support to this important movement and cause, through their sims.
✊ About The Rally / How To Attend
There will be no ‘In game’ backdrop or anything since it’s not a red carpet event, but a rally, which means, our sims would technically be walking around the city of Bridgeport. Basically all you have to do is take a picture of your sims walking/posing in the streets of Bridgeport. If you’re feeling creative and you are into editing, feel free to go your own way. For the people who aren’t really into editing or feeling lazy, I made a little kit for you to use if you feel like it. In the folder you can find 4 different backgrounds of Bridgeport streets + 9 transparent png’s of people walking that you can use to put in the back of your photo to make it look more alive (6 of them are sims for people who don’t like to use real humans). Please feel free to use your own backgrounds, png people and everything else if you wish to, this kit is mainly to help people who would need it.
This event can seem a little less exciting fashion wise since it’s not the point (No big ass sparkling gowns & nobody will be named best dressed and shit lol) but don’t be shy to make your sims look casual & still like a million bucks. Make them look powerful, feel free to use signs or tees/sweaters with BLM quotes & messages, anything that you would find in real rallies.
Speaking of which, here’s some Black Lives Matter Merchandise that I made for the rally, if you’d like to make your sims wear one of these T-shirts/Sweaters. (If you can make CC, don’t hesitate to use your own ideas.)
Simflux is also working on making some poses for the rally, they will be added to this post later on.

The rally will be happening on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 (please don’t post your pictures before that date and use the tags #circasim #simflux #simsblmrally)
Important note : Everyone is free to join and show their support, so if you are a TS2 or TS4 player, do not hesitate!
I will make a collage of everyone who attended, like I did for the Balmain event!
So I think that’s pretty much it. Don’t hesitate to reblog this post and share with your followers and we hope to see your sims at the rally!
If you’ve got any question, message me or Simflux.
