It Happened. The Sims 4 Marketplace Has Been Cracked

It's only been 72 hours until the pirate community took the matter into their own hands and cracked The Sims 4 Marketplace.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

Let's talk about reblog notes.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.

HOLY SHIT WE DID IT EVERYONE!!!!

Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.

I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

EA Announces The Sims 4 Marketplace and "Moola" Microtransactions

EA and Maxis have announced today a new The Sims 4 Marketplace. Where players can purchase additional sets, CC and content for the game in e

[solipses]

discord is rolling out age verification starting in march and it's either accepting forms of ID like a drivers license or birth certificate or it allows you to do a "video selfie scan" which makes an age inference based off what you look like (using AI, of course).

and it also says that it will make age inferences based off of how active you are on discord and what games you play and "other behavioral signals"

which is also not to forget the data leak that happened back in october about this very same subject.

this isn't just going to restrict you from age restricted channels or servers, but you're also not going to be allowed to speak in live stages or see any content or images that discord deems "graphic or sensitive" (which is also probably going to be AI inference).

[llumisims]

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

Composition Method - A Visual Guide

Composition method, in short, determines how the texture of your makeup, skin details, or tattoos show up on the skin. The best way to understand how it works is to look at how they are set up (for makeup, tattoos, etc.) via S4S.

To make things easier to remember, I made this quick guide showcasing each composition method setting and how they look for different types of texture :]

As composition method 3 is used for overlays/skin details, I didn't include them here.

It's crazy that Anadius lasted as long as he did. Salute, bro.

You can still find these things if you know where to look.

Non-Default Skin Fixes & Thumbnail Update

Apparently a lot of my old non-default skins were broken and nobody told me lol?? So I went ahead and fixed all of them and updated the thumbnails.

Non-Default texture is fixed, no more weird rippling

Thumbnails are updated and grouped together in CAS by order of release

Removed the "female" and "male" labels from thumbnails. These were originally included because the "female" version is what's used as the default female YA texture and the "male" version as the male YA texture, but the only actual difference between them is that the "male" version has a stronger nose bridge and cheekbones. Both versions can be used on Sims of any gender! The "male" versions have my male sims in the thumbnail so you can still tell which swatches are which, but I prefer not labeling them as strictly "male" or "female".

Download the updated files on each skin's respective posts:

Lotus

Poppy

Magnolia v3

Windflower

Lily

Freesia

Marigold

Zinnia

No update is needed for the default skin files - this is just for the non-defaults.

Color Sliders Compatible Contacts for all my eye sets!

Happy Halloween! All of my contact eye sets are now compatible with the in-game color sliders! Only the iris will change when you use the sliders, rather than the entire eye texture. There are inherent limitations to this, and it works better on some swatches than others, but theoretically this should allow you to create any eye color that you want! 

You do not need the separate color sliders mod for this.

Setsuki Eyes

That's it for this Simblreen! Thanks to everybody who trick or treated. Remember to tell me if you have any bugs with the file!

If you didn't grab the gift, don't worry. I will be releasing it publicly soon.

hi! i was wondering how you take all your pics for your sims all this time ^^ cause i want to start posting my sim too and do lookbooks, but i couldn't find any helpful tutorial. how do you actually take pics and do cute poses? i'll wait for ur response, thank youuu !!

hiii!!! warning, long post incoming! here are some helpful tips for taking pics in the sims ✩

1. if you're playing on windows, SRWE is your best friend! it allows you to resize the app's window which increases the quality of a picture. here are some examples (it's clear to see if you zoom in):

when running SRWE you have to select the running application, which in this case is the sims 4, then set the desired resolution. here are some profiles i have saved, you can go higher or lower depending on your specs. some deviced don't handle high resolutions well and can make the game crash. i usually don't go lower than 2000x2000.

2. gshade / reshade (another software for windows) will help you create a beautiful atmosphere that will elevate your screenshots with various presets ^^

- gshade install tutorial - reshade install tutorial some of my favorite gshade presets: - arcadia by pearlean - artaud by gunthermunch - peach by semalice - senshi 4.0 by simsenshi (if you'd like to use gshade any reshade preset is convertable to gshade, you can do it in the tools tab)

you can always search for presets on pinterest or tumblr! just type the sims 4 reshade/gshade preset and you'll find some that you'll like :)

3. relight is a GAMECHANGER.

you can download it here! there's also an upgraded version here, just choose which one you like more! here's a small comparison with and without relight:

if you don't like the gshade/reshade version of relight, there's a website where you can add relight to your photos. it's called clipdrop. the only con is that you'll have to downscale your photo if you don't have premium, but it's always an alternative :)

a picture with no relight i quickly edited to have relight on this website:

4. cas poses

downloading cas poses is a great way to take cute screenshots of your sims in cas. my favourtie creator for cas and in game poses is hongzo! they have a lot of female and male ones for traits people usually don't use for trait poses. other talented pose creators: - wooie - starrysimsie - ninawhims - mel bennett - helgatisha - roselipa - 00ni - hiyut - ssiat - acha_sims - bluefeelingblue another trick i like to use when posing in cas is typing the casclockspeed 0/1 cheat! for that you need to open up cheat console ( shift + ctrl + c) and type casclockspeed 0 to freeze your sim. before that, i look through trait poses i have and when i find what i want, i just type the cod (you can copy the cheat before so you don't miss the pose you were looking for). if you want the pose to stop and your sim to go back to normal, just type casclockspeed 1 in the console.

5. in game posing

there are a couple of mods for in game posing, andrew's pose player, teleport any sim, pose alignment interactions and even wicked whims allow you to pose your sims and place them in certain spots :) wicked whims won't allow you to pose infants-children since it's a NSFW mod, but andrew's pose player will! teleport any sim and pose alignment interactions essentially serve the same purpose.

i think this is all!!! have fun taking screenshots and happy simming! ♡
