ashley, 24, black, ts3. I have no real consistency with this blog lol in the sense that I'll post builds sometimes, random gameplay and even maybe somewhat story posts, maybe some aesthetic things. There is no constant haha
I’ve been needing to update this because i use all different reshade presets and even the version of reshade now.
What reshade do you have?
I have reshade 4.0.7, you can download it here from this repository and get shaders for it from here.
What presets do you use?
90sNostalgia by me (Examples of it in use: here, here, here)
Home Video by me (Examples of it in use: here, here, here)
there are some others but i’m not exactly sure what they are because I edit my presets a lot so they could be the same as the ones above but just tweaked.
Not surprised there is already paid cc for Paralives out and about, but I am disappointed. It's an indie game with a dev team that is committed to no paid DLC, so it just feels... extra gross.
That said, I hope people realize the culture around cc for The Sims isn't normal and vote with their wallets and attention instead. Reward (and tip!) creators that do things for the love of the game, hobby, and community. -- And ignore those out for profit.
I hope the Paralives Community becomes chronically unprofitable for them.

Interior of the share house WIP, wondering if I want to make it a sorority house, like one of those smaller sororities, that isn't as cool as the main one on campus. That or this can just a share house college goers can rent with friends or random roommates. I need to floorplan the rest of the house but that actually sounds like torture bc its really bad.
call your representatives to urge them to vote against further funding for ice. this is a very easy process through 5calls and it takes 2-3 minutes. you are almost guaranteed to leave a voicemail so please don’t feel nervous or stressed about it, this is something that could make a difference. all you need to do is put in your zip code and the site will provide a script and the numbers for your representatives.
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
