Oooh wee I keep trying to come back when there is some nonsense happening (or is it that there is always nonsense happening). Anyway, I get a chance to hop on a love train so I'm here for it!
So many of the free creators I have loved for years are gone. I'll never know why but maybe um... you know, I'm trying to be positive so I'm gonna show them love anyway in case there are newbies to the community who think the way things are now are the way they always have been or are supposed to be (and maybe want to ruin their mods folder a little more, come join the community it used to be beautiful).
BB (but maybe hittin it all ways):
@13pumpkin31 - Excuse me miss how dare you have been so talented. I don't know where you went, I miss you lots. Thank you so much for everything you gave to the community here and all the old forums on which you were such a presence. TREASURE!
@baufive - as a wise man once said "Learn from your elders children." What an ICON who deserves his goddamn flowers. There isn't a single thing he's created that I would ever willingly go without.
Freeasabird - The Shed Sims 4 Studio. I've never spoken to them but they have so many little gems I'm so grateful for. I legit feel their personality through their posts and want to be their best friend. I appreciate people like this in the community so much.
@peacemaker-ic was already mentioned but like um YEEEEES. Donate. It's your choice. No one is forcing you. No!? Maybe that's how we got here. Not to put it on Peacy's entry but he's already been mentioned so who's reading this... You? Donate and show all the love to people you want to stay in the community.
@sanoysims - I'll tell you what's up nowadays we miss you. You have this kind of gritty boho chic mix that's uniquely beautiful and I just miss you in general and selfishly want you back.
@serenebluesims - You post far and few between these days but I'm so grateful you are still around. Everything you do gets converted to whatever version of the game it isn't in because everything you do is essential. Much love
@simsza - ugh you gave us quality and then ran. We didn't deserve you and you knew it.
@sympxls - Hun I have no idea where you went, I miss you so much. That aside I don't know anyone that loved the community as much as you and you made some fly shit for free. QUEEN.
@zx-ta - I mostly have the BB stuff and I'm grateful for all that work converting objects with an attention to detail. I've done it, it can be done lazily, you don't, thank you!
don't ruin your cc folders with @mxims @mio-sims
There are creators I liked @leaf-motif @kkbsmm @kiwisim4 that moved to early access which I'm not saying anything about other than I don't feel like they're "free" creators anymore.
I can see the side of all those that create for the almighty $. It involves creativity, it takes effort, it takes copy and paste into a new window time (honestly this is one of those times all EA creators should be like NO we don't stand by this, this is low-effort BS that makes us all look bad).
I'm an old head, times change. I'm glad people have found a way to turn their hobby into something more. Our favorite creator gets paid via another avenue and gets to give us greatness for free, I think that partnership, though, has something to do with why (insert whatever EA partner you want there).
If this isn't the community you want to see you have the power to change it.
