i was legit thinking about this today - what do you guys do (if you are comfortable sharing) - are you in school (if so, what are you studying) ? taking a break? figuring things out? working (if so, what?)

i genuinely want to know (it makes me feel like i know you all that much more)

#I work at a preschool #I am the lead teacher of the toddler room #probably why I am so obsessed with big families in the sims lol

I haven't played sims in so long but I love this girly I made and soon she will have a little one!

The new Age Ranges have changed drastically for Normal and Long Age Spans! After the High School Years Update on July 26th, people started to notice that their sims had more days for each age group. After some reports to EA Help, SimGuruNick weighed in and confirmed that the age durations had been changed. New […]

EA has went and updated their statement saying that Early Access for a reasonable amount of time is permitted

I'm assuming they mean the 2 week period that they had stated before

Which I think is good! The people who need the extra monetary support can do so as long as they adhere to the policy and don't "forget" to release their cc. I never minded early access too much, I would take the post and queue it to post on the day the cc released to remind myself of it.

#I know some people aren't too fond of early access #but as long as they are actually doing it #and not just claiming to #then it's chill

EA'S STATEMENT | CHANGES

Hey guys! I’ve been getting a lot of messages about the recent EA announcement to the community. Given their decision on having all CC/Mods made entirely available to the public for The Sims 4, I’ve decided to follow their wishes. All of my Patreon content is now accessible for everyone to download. I believe this is the right step going forward and I encourage other creators to do the same!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, but always been worried about the outcome, so this is really tough for me. You being my Patron is what allows me to continue creating and support me & my art, so I truly hope you guys can keep doing that, no matter this decision. 💖

Thank you, for everything, really! 🥹 See you in September with some brand new stuff ♥

Sad news, friends... you can get banned for fuckin

#I was like ohhh #cool a new woohoo spot #didn't expect to be called out #sims 4

On monetizing mods:

The pushback I’m seeing against EA’s no-paywalling policy is honestly…bizarre to me?

I’ve played a lot of games, but The Sims is the only one I’ve played that let other people profit off their IP. Imagine trying to monetize fanworks from any other game without the IP holder getting a cut of the profits… Bethesda? Rockstar? Blizzard? Nintendo? I’m sorry, but EA was being generous by allowing people to make money off their game assets in the first place. Other gaming companies would have just sued.

(** Any company would have a problem, not just games–imagine if EA was Disney. You can’t put so much as a Mickey Mouse silhouette on something and sell it without getting hit with a prompt cease-and-desist.)

I’m not sure if people are being purposely obtuse or if they really just don’t understand how IP laws (or user agreement contracts, which everyone who downloaded the game agreed to) work. “Don’t sell someone else’s intellectual property for a living” feels like a statement that shouldn’t need to be made. Whether you like EA as a company or not, IP laws either matter or they don’t–you can’t pick and choose when laws apply based on how you feel about the IP holder, or how much you think you deserve that money more.

It just doesn’t work like that. It never has.

As far as how this all affects the community…again: other games just don’t have this problem, so I’m not understanding the issue. Banning paywalled mods won’t hurt the community in the slightest. Skyrim modders consistently put out professional quality mods for free, because that’s just…how it is in other gaming communities? They make mods because they love the game. This monetization issue doesn’t exist for other games in the same capacity as it does for The Sims. (And even for Sims, it didn’t used to be this bad.)

In summary: EA’s newest policy update isn’t a shock, nor is it any kind of betrayal of the community. It’s just basic IP law and common sense/decency. 🤷

I understand people feel entitled to compensation for their work, but that just doesn’t apply to fanworks, and it never has. This is the wrong creative outlet for you if your primary goal is profit, in the same way fanfiction would be wrong for you. If you want to make money off making 3D models, you are perfectly free to do so on any number of sites created specifically for that. (TurboSquid, CGTrader, etc.) The Sims isn’t the place for it. Sorry.

Also side note - I wish simblr was this active normally. I miss when everyone was creating and sharing and I could refresh for hours with new things to interact with and now that only happens when there is strife in the community.

I used to feel a fondness that just isn't really here anymore

#I mean I am a part of the problem #I haven't been posting much #but I miss the community feel

People on simblr never cease to amaze me with their audacity

#I'm barely active on here #other than to dump into my queue #but the posts I be seeing has my jaw dropping

So far these are the blogs that are straight refusing to follow the new policy ea put in place. Early access is no longer allowed, if their content is uploaded before the 2 to 3 week release is up, then they have no room to complain or retaliate. They’ve already been/warned told. We tried to give all of you the 2 to 3 week release but to many of you weren’t even following that anymore. I won’t be surprised if some of them go back to their old ways and make stuff exclusive again..idk we shall see.

I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THIS.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU.

MY CC ALWAYS HAVE BEEN RELEASED WITHING 15 DAYS, BECAUSE PATREON HAVE THE OPTION TO AUTO POST FOR PUBLIC, SO IT CAN’T HAPPEN THAT MY SHIT STAYS LOCKED AFTER THAT TIME.

DON’T FUCKING TRY WITH ME.

OOOOOH DARLINGS, YOU CAN BE SURE WE ARE BUILDING OUR LISTS AS WELL. SCREW YOU.

I GAVE EVERYTHING TO THIS FUCKING PLACE FULL OF FUCKING CRAP, I HAVEN’T SLEPT FOR NIGHTS, HAVEN’T EATEN OR WENT OUT WITH MY FUCKING REAL FIRENDS (SINCE I HAVE SOME), OR HELPED MY MUM AND DAD WITH DAILY STUFF BECAUSE I WANTED TO FINISH A PACK OR A CC BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH, BECAUSE I FELT TERRIBLE AT THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WERE PLEDGING FOR NOTHING, OR STRUGGLE TO HAVE THE CC I WAS WORKING ON. AND I EVEN NEVER HAD A FUCKING CENT OF DONATION BACK UNTIL I LAUNCHED MY EARLY ACCESS PATREON THAT WAS E A R L Y A C C E S S, SO NO COMPULSORY IN DONATING MONEY, (PEOPLE WHO PLEDGE, GIVE MONEY FOR TIME, THEIR ARE BUYING TIME, NOT THE CC BECAUSE THE CC IS FREE AFTER TWO FUCKING WEEKS). EARLY ACCESS THAT MADE ME ERAN 80-100$ PER MONTH, MONEY THAT I HAD TO SPENT FOR MEDICINES AND TO REPLACE SOCKS AND PANTIES ONCE IN A WHILE.

SHAME ON YOU.

AND NOW YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO PUT ME AND OTHER CREATORS IN THIS LIST? I’M NO LONGER WEARING A YELLOW STAR ON MY FUCKING CHEST BITCH, THE LIST ERA IS FINISHED. YOU FASCISTS ANTISEMITE ASSHOLES ARE SPLIT. I’LL REPORT YOU FOR THIS LIST, AND THE ONE THAT THE OTHER KAREN MADE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I HAVE TO BE PUT IN THE SAME BOOK AS THE EXCLUSIVE PEOPLE, THEN YOU KNOW FUCKING WHAT? I’LL BE FUCKING EXCLUSIVE TOO, ONCE MY CURRENT EARLY ACCESS ITEM IS RELEASED.

FUCK EA AND YOU ASS LICKING DOGS.

I ONLY FEEL TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS SUPPORTED ME BY WAITING FOR THOSE TWO FUCKING WEEKS. I LOVED YOU. AND I’LL STILL LOVE YOU WHEN YOU’LL START TO HATE ME. BUT AT THIS POINT I’M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THIS CRAP.

BLAME THESE BITCHES, NOT ME. I’M A HUMAN, AND I HAVE FEELINGS.

THE LOVELY PATRONS THAT AWLAYS SUPPORTED ME, AND SAVED ME CAN DECIDE TO DELETE ALL THEIR PLEDGES. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, AND I STILL LOVE YOU. I’LL NOT FORGET WHAT YOU DID FOR ME, AND SO HASHEM. YOU’LL BE STILL IN MY HEART, EVEN WHEN YOU’LL BE LEAVING.
