if one person were responsible in one incident then i wouldnt be doing all of this but the fact of the matter is that ppl have been bigoted as fuck in sims spaces as long as ive been here (24 yrs?) & this recent incident has been months of punishment for pointing out that ppl are being bigoted & several ppl backing up bigotry & harassment & even ppl pretending they were my friend while actively trying to get me removed from every sims space im in behind the scenes. unprincipled, cowardly, anti-community behavior that enables toxicity to breed rampantly from the toxic "positivity" being practiced.
im not doing all of this for personal reasons its bc this is not the kind of behavior i want to be associated with in any form. would prefer that if anyone even keeps my name in their mouth that they only have negative things to say, i dont want to be praised by ppl that protect bigotry
the sims fandom does not get to oust me for calling them on carrying water for MASS SHOOTERS & then spam my email for my downloads. something is deeply wrong with u ppl.
love this game & some of the ppl ive met thru it but y'all have a serious bigotry problem & ive done my part furthering it by being here
i didnt think of these ppl as intentionally bigoted before but their words & actions in the face of sources have been worse than the responses i get from former gamergaters. to this day i still see ppl praising ppl who had irl csam, calling children in a genocide scammers. so fucking beyond hope
if u dont care abt sims server shit then skip u dont gotta read this & dont blame me if u do lol
& fair warning if u wanna argue abt this i am not gonna be nice to u, if its "embarrassing for me" to share then then let me dig my own grave but i'd rather be stigmatized than quiet
this is not a private conversation like they claim (all the mods can see what im saying lol) but if ppl double down this hard in private then there should be no shame when made public. i am being kinder by sharing their actual words than they are by claiming i called ppl bigoted or accused them of some shit i never said & even making it sound like im picking on 21 & 30-something yr old minors. im 29.
a member of the server said "mental illness is a factor in mass shootings" & this is almost verbatim, this is what i was arguing against & i never claimed otherwise, i said that those words have context & consequences. the guy in question has a history of saying racist & ableist things as well so there is a LOT of benefit of the doubt going on here
fascist violence is not excusable by armchair diagnoses. scapegoating mentally ill ppl for fascist violence is not excusable. expanding the definition of mental illness to include violent fascists is not excusable.
the fact of the matter is that no one ever said "im a fascist, im a bigot, i hate the disabled" in this instance but those things can be covert & they can be accidental, nonetheless when u are allowed to stand on those things u are showing ppl with more extreme positions that they might be welcome among u. the most hardcore of leftists are not immune to this
anyway what ive learned, repeatedly, is that simmers will let any behavior slide if the marginalized person arguing comes across strongly. as much as everyone claims this is a "me" problem it is a rly rare issue for me outside of simming spaces & theyre not the only gaming spaces im in. its the obsession with calling serious issues "drama" & making ppl into lolcows ig
im not going to pretend this didnt happen & im not going to let my beliefs hide away from the sun so that nobody ever gets their feelings hurt. criticism hurts. especially when its of a deeply ingrained belief, we literally talked abt how perceived injustice is what radicalizes ppl toward fascism well here is a good example. mods & other members have taken the position that if u criticize bigotry too harshly, ur responsible for the other persons reaction. this belief that marginalized ppl r attacking when they criticize is literally how ppl become fascists
anyway like... if u wanna take this as "these ppl are horrible evil fascist bigots who love killing ppl" i'll ask that u not fucking do that. im saying this is the start of a pattern that uninterrupted will end badly. im pointing out an unwillingness to interrupt that pattern. cultivating online spaces like this has real-world consequences
im not sure if theres anything i can say to get ppl to listen at this point. i also want to enjoy my game & it ruins my enjoyment when ppl say racist & ableist shit. but it ruins everyone elses enjoyment more to say anything abt it. idk what to do with that info
Lucas' "Hacked" Photos
As requested. Horizontal and Vertical; originals found here. The horizontal mesh displays in-game camera screenshots, and the vertical does the same OR it can pull from the custom paintings folder (pictured). I cleaned up the originals a bit and made some add-ons. Because my edits were fairly extensive, I did give them a new GUID so you can have both Lucas' original and my "original" in your game if you choose. Please know that all I did was give them later EP functionalities. The wonderful "hacked" functions were all Lucas' work and full credit still goes to them.
Original
Dropped to floor level for full wall shiftability
Quarter tile enabled
Frame is now recolorable
Smaller
Roughly half the size of the original
Frame repositoried to my cleaned up original
Tabletop
Sits upright on a tiny easel back
Placeable on any surface or the ground
(I could have repo'd these to the maxis originals but it would have required remapping, and the maxis ones aren't recolorable without an additional CEP, so anyway the Original mesh is the texture file.) As per Lucas, requires University, and requires Apartment Life to shift on walls.
or maybe not forgotten bc i literally made her up shes just my particular fanon but i wanna talk abt her
this is basically my solution to chloe & lola having wildly different ages/implications from the rest of the curious siblings. glarn gave birth to hybrid babies, abandoned them to his ex wife, then had 3 other children. yet there in the bin, the alien twins r acting like theyre just starting out on their own as new adults instead of being older than their sister with the nearly-adult son
this obviously makes no sense & i couldnt reconcile their ages with the games intent, which i rly wanted to do for my aging/rotation system! i think they should remain new adults, but they cant be if they were born before jenny & i didnt want to retcon glarn into leaving the curious siblings or anything like that. theres also the matter of the smith-curious family tree, which i think is sposed to be awkward & weird on purpose so i was limited there too
it took a decade but i decided that introducing a generations distance from glarn & pt9 was the way to do. in my game, glarn gave birth to a single alien hybrid who later in her life gave birth to chloe & lola
^ thats her thats zona curious. shes a romance sim & a guitarist apparently. for the most part her story is that she was raised by glabe ofc, shes somewhat cynical & resentful toward her birth fathers new family, seeing her siblings around but they dont even know she exists & decided to leave town bc it was, yknow, half made up of her relatives (+she LOVES travel). idk what she did btwn but she brought her twins back or maybe they came back on their own, they grew into the sims we know in the bin today, younger than the sims that were previously their siblings too. then zona died ofc
so its fun for me bc that means pt9 is lola & chloes grandfather. johnny, jill, & unborn baby/tycho r their cousins + niblings. jenny, pascal, vidcund, & lazlo r their aunt & uncles + their sibling in-laws. their family tree weirdness remains intact
im abt to put zona in a round robin hood so other ppl will play her & im excited to see where that goes
a lot of this can be summed up as that the way i negotiate with sims canon is weird. best i got, boss
Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.
With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.
I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.
Some time ago, someone was looking for Dizzy Mods over at GOS.
I have a copy of his/her dump for AL. The list is below. You can download the actual file HERE.
The Dizzy Magic Bullet (Apartment Life edition).
To use these hacks, you should have TS2 with the Apartment Life EP. Other EPs may be required as noted. See the “Hack Reference” below for descriptions of individual hacks.
I'm Ahmed from Gaza. Hear me out and don't ignore me. I desperately need your help sharing and donating. Today, shells fell near our tent, and my family and I were displaced south due to the heavy bombing. We moved to a faraway place on foot, looking for a safe place to sit. We could only sleep on the street. I need you. Help me by donating or sharing. We are now under bombardment and hunger. The situation here is beyond tragic. Hunger is killing us just like missiles are.https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed-and-his-family-survive-in-gaza-crisis

Those of you who use DXVK but still experience pink flashing, could you try this for me? I am too lazy to reinstall Sims on my Windows partition
Open your dxvk.conf (or create one in the installation path of the game) and write:
dxvk.enableMemoryDefrag = True
Test this setting in-game for a while, then change it to:
dxvk.enableMemoryDefrag = False
And test this as well.
By "test it", I do not mean to test it for a mere 10-20 minutes. Test it thoroughly! Different hoods, different lots, take your time and play the actual game like you normally would! If normal gameplay works, try to stress test it (cheats, CC, high quality lot imposters, etc). If it takes a few days to test, so be it, but we really need to stop reporting too fast and make sure that our observations aren't coincidence.
I do not think this is going to be the big fantastic fix people are hoping for, but it's still intriguing. DXVK is set to "auto" out-of-the-box and my suspicion is that this is what makes the game run better on Linux: The GPU drivers on Linux are different, so perhaps the "auto" setting actually works properly in Linux, but not in Windows.
I appeal to you with all the pain and suffering. We are living in difficult circumstances as a result of the war in Gaza. Our homes have been destroyed and our dreams have faded. We are stuck in Egypt after my wife and I lost our jobs. My family lives in constant fear. My brothers, mother and father also live in Gaza. The catastrophic conditions are the result of bombing and genocide. They are facing an endless nightmare and I need help. Your help to protect my family and restore hope to our hearts
sharif and his family need food and medical care, one of his newborn babies adhmed is very sick
Hello, I am running this campaign on behalf of Shahd. Please, read Shahd's message below, share, and donate if you can!
I got married a year before the war.
My husband, my daughter, my mother-in-law, and my uncle and I lived in a house before it was bombed.
We were happy until the war broke out.
The war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023.
Here, hell began for us in Gaza. We lost our home and became homeless. My husband had nothing, and I had nothing.
My husband, his family, and I were displaced to the southern Gaza Strip for 15 months. I didn't go with her. Those were months of longing for my mother and brothers who were in northern Gaza.
My brothers Ahmed and Abdullah remained in the northern Gaza Strip. We were displaced several times because I live in Rafah, a border area close to the army.
During our displacement, we left the house and ran down the road to escape the shells and planes. Then came the thunderbolt. The shock was that death was faster than my brothers could escape... Here, here, we lost our loved ones. I lost my brothers, the apple of my eye, Ahmed. Ahmed left no children. And my mother is in pain because they departed to God without saying goodbye, without a kiss on their foreheads, a farewell kiss. After a while, we returned home. The house was severely damaged by demolition and the falling of stones from their places, which sheltered and protected us. Now, nothing protects us except some worn-out candles that do not protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter. Our suffering is great, but with your help, we may reach a better and more dignified life. I appeal to you to help me support myself, my mother, my loved ones, and my family. What you provide makes a difference in our lives as individuals. We live in a world that has forgotten the meaning of humanity and giving. May God bless you all. Please help me help my family. Anything you provide, even if it is small, will mean a lot to me. Please donate to me.
As promised I went through and calculated premade aspirations in several different calculators. It includes every playable Sim, along with most relevant townies and deceased Sims. It includes personality codes for my Personality Coder spreadsheet if you want to fetch Sim stats yourself.
And it uses these calculators:
AORTiCSims'
BellaDovah's
cora626's
Delijume-Sims'
Goblin's
LordCrumps'
PleasantSims'
Simgigglegirl's
simmingelitist's
Sophie the Puffin's
If there's any others let me know, I'll add them!
Some disclaimers:
There will be calculation issues. I had to input all of these values myself and there are hundreds of Sims represented here. I'll correct any if they're brought to my attention but I really don't want to go over it again. This took over a year. That said, I should have used the most recent version of all of these calculators as of the date I posted this.
The "Primary" and "Secondary" are just an easy way for me to pare down to the highest two and a suggestion of how to use some of them but the creators of most of these spreadsheets intended them for either primary or secondary exclusively.
I neglected to make sure that sheets that have multiple versions of an aspiration didn't calculate for them twice. But that is how those calculators work (because they aren't intended for both aspirations), so I didn't want to mess with it too much.
Calculators absolutely do not and cannot account for Sim interest changes as they age, so YMMV if you want to use the calculations for younger Sims.
Some of these Sims are featured in The Sims 3 and have traits associated with them. Since I play with HB's traits project these traits are reflected in the personality code and my calculator results.
May 5th 2025
Updated personality codes
Added 3 calculators: cora626's, The Crumpulator, Goblin's
Fixed Benjamin Baldwin and a few personality codes that were too long
Recalculated simmingelitist's (hey!) based on calculator updates
My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.
But life had other plans.
War has returned to our home. Again.
And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.
There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.
I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.
Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.
This is my life.
This is my daughter’s life.
And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness.
Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.
Why I’m Reaching Out
Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.
That’s why I keep going.
I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.
How You Can Help:
🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity
🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources
🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war
💛 If you can, please support our journey here:
My name is Saja. I am a wife, a mother to a precious 8-month-old girl, and I am writing this in a moment that I wish I didn’t have to live t
If you can’t give, please consider sharing.
Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.
From My Heart to Yours
Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war.
But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.
I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.
Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you.
Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring.
We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.
