Hi dearest I just found out that @equestrian-essentials aka Jocelyn is starting to convert and post your cc https://www.tumblr.com/equestrian-essentials/775400231979319296/my-first-tack-conversion-available-for-everyone?source=share without credit and without your permission T-T
Hey! Thank you for reaching out, I am aware this is sadly still happening. While it's not against any sort of "rules", it does show a severe lack of respect for fellow creators and it really is a shame. For me it's not about what's allowed and what isn't, it's about respecting a creator's content and their wishes, something that is very hard to understand for some, apparently.
It's very ironic when they tell others to respect another creator's TOU but simultaneously has no regard for anyone elses, but I guess hypocrisy is a theme here.
Thanks again for reaching out though. I wish there was more we could do to protect what we spend time and effort on to make that ends up being so blatantly disrespected. :/
Winter has slowly settled into our region, leaving a light blanket of snow to cover the sleeping grass.
We took the chance to take some lovely photos of our foals as they experienced their first snowfall.
Odessa was the most playful of the three foals, galloping and jumping all over the field. Obsidienne, meanwhile, was true to herself, standing like a princess, calmly observing her surroundings and trying to eat the falling flakes.
We also took a shot of Morris, our 14-year-old chestnut stallion, as the snow began to fall again after several hours.
He was a bit chilly from the snow and was waiting for us at the field gate to bring him in.
Here's a [very] quick little look at a set I'm working on. Yes, from that show last year; no, I don't really feel ashamed about this sort of thing anymore. :') I believe I've lost the capacity.
Fun fact about Agatha; she's totally a Billie Holiday fan. When I say fan, it is important to remember that she is a fan in the way Agatha is a fan of anything, which is quietly, inwardly, and generally privately.
Equiality Sims Olympics - A Grand Equestrian Showcase
After months of dedicated preparation, building, and meticulous planning, the long-awaited Equiality Sims Olympics is finally LIVE! Riders from across the community will compete in the ultimate test of skill, grace, and determination as they showcase their talents in Show Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing.
The competitions are set to unfold in front of the Château's grounds, framed by rows of manicured trees, lush hedging, and ornate fountains. The Dressage and Show Jumping competitions will take place in the main arena, with riders performing rounds against the backdrop of Versailles' expansive gardens. In Eventing, the cross-country phase will take riders across the varied terrain of the palace landscape, with obstacles that integrate into the natural environment.
For those who missed our qualifiers for the T-Show, don't worry—we’re excited to announce an exclusive Challenge Event just for you! While teams compete for their nations in Paris, this challenge is your space to show how your sims celebrate the Olympics. From behind-the-scenes shots of competitors, watching live streams of the events, or maybe participating in a non-equestrian discipline, we want to see your interpretation of the Olympics! And now, it's time to go for Gold!
This challenge serves to allow you creative freedom without participating in the Olympic T-Show, and will offer many of the same participation prizes.
Join us in this thrilling display of equestrian excellence and community spirit. Get ready to witness breathtaking performances, unforgettable moments, and fierce competition as we crown our Olympic champions. 🏆
Let the games begin!
Special Thanks
Special thanks to @simaddix for allowing us to recolour their grass sets, @thejim07 for letting us convert their statues and decorations, Emeline Durand for the help with the world and Lance Donckers for permitting recolours of his fences and lorries. Their amazing content has brought our vision to life, and we're deeply grateful for their contributions.
How would you feel about doing a little character questionnaire? A very easy, very straightforward one, where you simply bold your answers; minimal thinking required. You might even enjoy it (wouldn't that be shocking?) I thought it might be a nice, gentle way for people who are interested in character development, collaborating and/or storytelling but aren't sure how to proceed or are daunted by the prospect to dip their toes into the water... or a nice distraction for those who are already doing these things. :)
The questions are under the cut (to save me cluttering your dash); you can either reblog the post with your answers, or copy + paste into a new post. They were adapted, added to and subtracted from a post made by another user quite a while ago, so credit to the creator, as well as my apologies- they've been in a Google doc a good 10 months now and I've no idea where they originated.
If anybody goes ahead and does this, please tag me so I can see? I really enjoy learning about the different personalities in the community. Conversely, if you've been tagged and don't care for this sort of thing, (1) I apologise, (2) safely ignore this, and I'll take it as a signal not to bother you with this nonsense again. :)
