So, not to make this a sob story or super long, but I don't plan on posting on here in terms of like a long term legacy or anything consistent really. I have just been playing my game and enjoying that for the last year or so and don't see a need or want to come back? I still lurk (though I might switch over to a personal tumblr idk yet), I'm still on discord, I still might pop up every now again and share about my sims or even what's going on in my life depending. Thank you for the follow and letting me share my silly little sims with you. Much love, see you on the other side
"Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.
First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app beginning in November 2024."
Apple users, if you make your pledges through your browser you can dodge this fee.
This is just apple doing its usual nickel and diming to take a slice of every pie.
30% is a comically huge cut on top of what patreon already takes. Please, for future support of patreon creators, please avoid the Apple App version of patreon. Open a web browser and support your favorite creators that way to make sure your money goes to the creators and not just disappear into the void of another giant corporate greed hole.
I know lots of fellow artists who need patreon to live and keep making things. Don’t let Apple gobble up what you’re trying to give to them. This is just ridiculous.
lemon stealing whores are a huge issue separate from food stealing whores. there’s a whole documentary about whores stealing lemons from the trees of unsuspecting victims. you can see the first two minutes of it here.
I reblogged him the day i started treatment and 1. GOT TO MY APPOINTMENT ON TIME 2. FOUND A FREE PARKING TICKET SOMEONE LEFT IN THE METER FOR ME AND 3. GOT FREE STARBUCKS AFTER MY APPOINTMENT!!!!!
Since the new eyelash update is here, I'm gonna teach you how to convert old eyelash cc into the new eyelash option!
First of all, we will need the Sims 4 Studio. The download link can be found here: https://sims4studio.com/board/6/download-sims-studio-open-version
Now, head into the app and click the "My Projects" button on the main menu.
Open the eyelash file (.package file) you want to convert. I'll just pick a random one for reference. Once you picked the one you want, hit open.
You will be directed into the studio, which will look like this:
Now on the right side of the screen, find the CATEGORIES button and click on it.
Once there, change the OUTFIT TYPE to MASK DETAIL and APPLY TO ALL SWATCHES. Save the file, and the .package file will be updated in your game. Also, make sure to double check in-game before continuing with your other custom content.
As you can see in my game, It worked! Hopefully it works for all of you, too.
And that's about it. Thanks for reading all the way.
And by the way, If you're going to distribute these publicly without the original creators consent, just don't do it. This is meant for private use only or for content creators who want to convert their eyelashes into the new eyelash section.
Do y’all miss connecting to the gallery because you refuse to update immediately? Are you sick of being bullied into updating your game just so you can connect it to the internet you pay for? Well worry not, here’s how to connect to the gallery without updating.
It’s really easy to think that our friends and other loved ones think negative things of us when we’re not around but I have to say that it’s much more likely they’re thinking positive things.
I think about my best friend, and how beautiful she is and how I miss her and hope she’s doing okay.
I think about my partner at work and how much I love him and can’t wait for him to get home.
I think about my online friend and how amazing it was to meet her this year. I wonder how she’s doing and I feel so thankful she’s been a part of my life for so long.
I think about my cousins and how wonderful they are and how even though we don’t talk much anymore, they were a huge part of my growing up and I’ll always love them.
We often think positive things about our loved ones, and it’s likely they do the same for us as well.
This is my blog and I truly do not give one single fuck who I offend or upset. FUCK greenllamas. 🤷 FUCK lazy early access creators, fuck anyone who actually supports these lazy ass creators monetarily (if you download their cc for free like i do idc), fuck the entire system that ended up getting us to the point where """"""cc is a luxury """"
I know some of y'all havent been in the community for long but if you had any idea what it used to be like... This is absolutely pathetic. It'll never be as fun as it used to and it's because of greed point fucking blank
I fucking hate EA and I hope they die a miserable death as a company. There isn't one redeeming thing about them as a company, as a game studio, as an employer. They're fucking trash and they destroyed my favorite game of all time. Absolutely shit on it. decimated it. The game we have now is a fraction of what it should be and it's because of EA.
I fucking hate the culture surrounding custom content, the fact that it's NORMAL now to hop on and start your patreon with your FIRST EVER CC POST. Come the FUCK on.
There are so many shitty, greedy, negative things happening in this community and I will speak on them, i will bitch about it, and that's never changing lmao. I will also continue to uplift free cc creators and people in the community who do this for fun and passion not money. But don't tell me I'm "just being negative for no reason" or "tearing others down". Yeah I WILL tear you down if you use the community for financial gain in the laziest way possible because you deserve that shit. And yeah, I WILL continue to be fucking negative because I refuse to be a simmer who sucks ea's ass and ignores all of the huge fundamental problems going on in the community. Id rather some ppl in the community hate me for being outspoken than to just sit around and not say shit.
big huge fuck you to ea for requiring me to be online just to open my fucking game, my wifi is down and my mobile hotspot isn't fast or powerful enough to get the ea app to open. Fuck you!!!!!!! Its literally so dumb!!!!
I don't even have wifi at my work so I LITERALLY CAN'T FUCKING PLAY unless I go out of my way to go somewhere with decent public wifi just to LAUNCH MY GAME. WHY. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING WHY? FUCK YOU FOR REAL
I don't understand why this is okay if I purchase something i should always be able to access it!!!!!!! Fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not mods. With the exception of the very last tip, you should be able to use all of these options to get your free goods without needing to log into you Sims 4 game daily even on console.
Daily rewards are here! I'm not thrilled. I love free items added to the game, but I'd prefer they drop in an SDX and not be tied to my remembering to log in at regular intervals. Anyway.
I don't want any of you to feel left out if are unable to log in. I want you to have access to as many of these free items as you can without using mods. Really. These items? They were all downloaded into our game with the latest patch anyway.
<---------->
The Buy Items
These are the easiest to access. You have options too!
The first option works right now as of May 31st 2024. I don't know if it will be patched at some future date. This one everyone can do.
Go into build and buy mode. Filter by Special> Event Rewards and SELECT ALL colors. Make sure you also have your buy items sorted to see everything (not just selecting comfort, like I did the first time.)
Second option to acquire buy mode objects is to download a room from the gallery that has all of the objects in it. There are multiple by now. Pictured above are rooms from gallery users: HenfordHenCoop and onlyabidoang
<---------->
The Reward Trait
There are two easy options to get the reward trait as well. You can get it now, today, May 31st, 2024.
The first method: have your sim achieve 5000reward points. Purchase a Re-Traiting Potion from the rewards store. The Practice Makes Perfect Trait is right there.
The second method, as noted by OnlyAbiDoang on X -- you can open the cheats console and type in the cheat:
traits.equip_trait trait_PracticeMakesPerfect

I Want Everything Right Now
You know what? If you are playing on a computer, you can have all CAS and BB objects unlocked right now. You sure can. You just have to edit your .ini file. Yes, they're keeping track of our log in rewards on our own machines. I'm telling you this to let you know that if you uninstall and then re-install your game, those rewards will no longer show up for you. Ah, but this tips shared on X means even that wont be a problem.
Anadius on X shared this tweet about editing your own .ini file so you can access everything. Right now. Including the hair, the necklace, whatever. Everything from this first round of login rewards.
So... I was playing with my legacy family, and my current heir is an actor, right? Well, the absolute CRAZIEST thing happened while my sim was performing his scenes and it's absolutely too insane not to share.
So, everything was going smoothly. My sim was performing his scenes with his co-stars like normal. Then, all of the sudden, my camera starts shaking. I thought maybe it was an earthquake and that the plumbob pictures lot somehow had the shaky lot trait, or it was simply glitching. Then, my camera snaps to the co-star my sim is performing with, and she is dying. I think "well okay, she was an elder anyway."
However, my camera snaps again to another sim who's dying, and then a third...
In total, 10 sims died all at the same time. My camera was shaking because my game was trying to handle 10 SIMS ALL DYING AT ONCE
I am... absolutely flabbergasted. When I saw all those sims collapsing and seeing the purple aura around them my jaw just fell on the floor.
I feel so bad for my Sim... He spent so much time witnessing deaths that he ended up peeing himself. How traumatized he must be to have seen all his co-stars and all the producers die! I'm just gonna say there was a freak accident at the studio because... Oh my god.
Put an egg in your ramen. Put scallions in your ramen. Put chili oil in your ramen. Put kewpie Mayo in your ramen. But nori in your ramen. Put tofu in your ramen. Put miso paste in your ramen. Put mushrooms in your ramen.
// I love cooking comics best. And this one has ingredients so cheap I made a point to save it to my harddrive. It was originally drawn by Lucie Bryon here on Tumblr.
If you don't have the energy but have a spice rack, powdered garlic, onion, ginger. Measure with your heart. Add one egg yoke. Dash of regular soy sauce. Siracha, again measure with your heart. Don't have that? Chili flakes or anything with a mild spice. Mix. Set aside. Heat water. Bring to a boil. Add ramen packet + ramen noodles. Cook till soft. Add one ladle of your broth to your yoke + spice mix. Mix that. Add noodles + additional broth. Add extra dash of soy sauce. Eat and be content.
Speaking as someone who is frequently busy AND low-energy, let me tell you some of my ramen hacks!
Prepackaged broth.
Canned chicken or any leftover meat you may have. Add it in the last few minutes of cooking.
I endorse the frozen veggies! Also add those in the last few minutes of cooking.
Add some miso paste and a pat of butter. mmmm, richer broth.
Finally, because I have a lot of days where I have no energy AND barely time for lunch: THE MICROWAVE. Put your broth and noodles in a bowl, microwave it for 2 minutes. Pull apart the noodles (which will still be firm but not a brick) to make a little nest to crack an egg into. Add any other protein and your frozen veggies, then microwave it for another 2 minutes. THE BOWL WILL BE VERY HOT WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE MICROWAVE, BE CAREFUL. But look at that! Fast, delicious, nutritious ramen!
Standard ramen bricks do not have to be boiled. You can prepare them exactly like cup ramen: Brick in bowl, powder on brick, pour two cups boiling water over it. Cover bowl with a plate. Give it about four minutes. Perfect soft noodles. Never gets that horrid ramen slimy situation going even if you ADHD away from your wip food, the noodles are still soft and lovely, just uhh cold.
If you have access to an Asian grocery store, try pickled mustard green. It's like $2 and, being pickled, lasts forever in the fridge. Especially wonderful on jjajang (black soybean) ramen.
