hi guys! this is Jordan, the owner of twentiethcenturysims (20thCS) and imminent-close-encounter (imminent). I wanted to make a main simblr that I can use to reply from and where I can post my gameplay. 

my Scott legacy from 20thCS will be continued here, while that blog will become a dedicated historical cc finds blog. 

excited to be back 💕

I'm so mad at Mom and Dad right now. Dad's half-retired now, so he's home more often, and it means that we get to watch them fight and make up and fight again. We got to watch a really great show at dinner, I'm pretty sure Sterling learned some new words he hadn't even heard on the playground yet. I'm so MAD!! Honestly sometimes I think Mom is so selfish that if all three of us dropped off the face of the Earth she wouldn't even notice. Sterling ran away after dinner and I didn't find him until it was dark out. It was so hard not to freak out, it's dangerous where we live and he's just a kid. Anyhow I managed to convince him to come home, but who knows where we go from here. I can't wait till I graduate and I can get out of here, and maybe take him with me.

Another teenager in the house. Just what we needed. As long as she doesn't start dying her hair like Mandy did...

What is this blog?

Well, to put it shortly, we're a group of people trying to make a tool for simmers to use in order to avoid or just remain aware of any content put out into the community that may have use of Generative AI in any way! (We're not sure if this blog will remain under this name, just an fyi)

▶ READ OUR FAQ HERE ◀

▶ OUR RESSOURCES/TIPS ◀

How does it work?

You send us asks if you believe and/or have suspicions that a creator or user has made or is currently making use of genAI for their content! (proof is appreciated, but we'll provide them in our posts, so no need to worry about that part!) PLEASE limit yourself to one creator per ask, this way we can curate our lists more easily when doing our research! When asks are sent, we make thorough research and respond with our finds to ensure we provide proper information. WE ARE HUMAN, meaning we are prone to mistake, so if you believe we may have poorly judged or missed something in our research, please let us know! We will make the edits or fixes necessary!

(asks can be sent anonymously, we understand you may not want to be put on the spotlight or traced down when bringing up certain creators).

Why are you doing this?

We believe simmers are allowed transparency for the content they consume or download now that generative AI has made its way into the community, whether that be from creators who are open about it, or trying to pass it swiftly without notice. GenAI specifically holds a multitude of problems, but we'll keep it brief with these articles. We highly suggest doing your own further research. Nourish that brain a little! 💙

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.

Dear Diary,

I can't believe it...Angel died. It happened when I wasn't even home. She seemed fine in the morning...but she's old, and she'd been getting more feeble every day. We buried her behind the house, somewhere nice, where she would have liked to run around and play fetch.

I don't know what I'm going to do. The only thing I want to do all day is crawl under the covers and cry and cry and cry. Nothing could cheer me up like her little wet nose against my hand when I petted her.

Dad made me get up and he's trying to get me into yoga. It's nice of him to try, but I'm too miserable for this...

Mom signed me up for scouts so that I wouldn't be getting in her way all day long on the weekends. I can get badges by doing stuff! I got my Outdoor Adventurer badge by catching loads of frogs and learning to fish. And then I got promoted to Griffon Scout! I wonder what badge I'll get next...

Amanda is getting on my last nerve. She had her friend Miko over, and little did I know they had a plan to DYE HER HAIR a really hideous, patchy black...I have no problem with hair dye, obviously, but at least get it done professionally! And choose a colour that compliments your look...not...whatever she's just done! I think there were scissors involved, there's pieces of her beautiful brown hair in the bathroom trashcan!

And now she's dressing like this Miko girl too. I've always advised her how she should dress and style her hair so that she can be popular and everyone at school will like her. What will her peers think now? I can't believe her...

SHRIMPMAS NEEDS YOU! 🦐🎄

It's back, smellier, and more chaotic than ever. Shrimpmas 2025 will be rolling back around next month on Dec 14th, but there's something a little different I wanted to pitch this year before we officially kick off our fake holiday together. Intrigued? Curious? Sticky? Let's get started.

THE 2025 SIMBLR COMMUNITY SHRIMPMAS INFO POST: 🦐🎄

🦐 So what's this all about?

Well, from Day 1 I've always envisioned Shrimpmas as a bigger communal event similar to Simblreen. I started the holiday to challenge myself to learn new things about modding, making CC etc- as well as to make fun little presents for my friends. And when it was stolen last year I had such a fun time seeing what everyone made! And this year I'd love to expand that energy to the community at large!

🎄 You want me to make CC?

I think Shrimpmas is the perfect time to learn something new, to push and challenge yourself to try to make that recolor for the first time, bust out a fun hat, or make a weird chair that shouldn't necessarily exist! The fun part is that Shrimpmas CC doesn't have to be holiday themed! It could just be that thing you've wanted to make for a really long time and this is finally your excuse to give it a shot. And similarly, I think it would be nice to make something to surprise a friend. Go out of your way to make their day with a lil gift and share it with everyone! ( FOR FREE! THAT INCLUDES NO EARLY ACCESS AND NO MODCO! I WILL SMACK YOU. )

🦐 I don't have to do all 12 Days right?

Correct! You can participate as much or as little as you would like. The 12 days of Shrimpmas runs from Dec 14th-25th this year. The reason I'm posting this so early is to give you time to make your gifts. Make something small, make a few things! Really whatever you'd like!

🎄 Cool! How do I participate?

1. Start with an idea, make a thing, and if you need help learning @thefoxburyinstitute has a ton of helpful tutorials! 2. After you've made a thing you can use my PSD cover template to make a little matchy matchy promo for it! (Or go ham with your own take!) 3. AND THEN ! Starting on December 14th you can start posting your gifts under the hashtag #shrimpmas2025 (This will ensure everyone can find your gifts under the shrimpmas tree!)

(promo psd example!)

And that's it! It's literally that simple. If you have any questions about the event, feel free to shoot me an ask. I really hope you give something new a try this year and/or make someone smile. No matter what, I'm already proud of you.

And with that all said, I'll meet you back here December 14th for the official Shrimpmas 2025 kick off! Good Luck, I believe in you! 🦐🎄

xo, Surelu

TWO WEEKS UNTIL SHRIMPMAS!

[stargazingsims]

Dear Diary,

O.M.G......Rohan came by the house! I was like, almost not going to let him in, because I was so worried I would say something stupid. I probably did say something stupid. I don't even remember! He was flirting with me, and I was so into it, and I don't know...

We went for a walk and looked at the stars...and then we...you know, we kissed. BLAH it feels so weird to write that! But it was really nice...

I've got to like chuck this diary to the moon or something so no one can find out. Mom would be mad, Dad would be even madder, and Pear and Sterling would tease me till I melted into a puddle and died of embarrassment!

Dear Diary,

Rohan sits right next to me in History class. He makes it sort of hard to focus sometimes...he's cute, and he doodles stuff on his page, and sometimes he slides his page over to show me what he's drawn...

And he eats lunch with us some days in the caf. It's totally not a big deal, but I sort of like him. I mean, just a bit. It doesn't even matter, because I've got to focus on my grades most of all. But...I mean, I like him, I guess. I just do.

I told Miko that I have a crush on Rohan, but she thinks its gross because he doesn't shower enough. He doesn't smell THAT bad...

Thorne and I have sometimes talked about my not-so-successful music career, but I've been so busy before...now the kids are out of diapers and off at school, and we both agreed it might be time to give it another go. Or else, what's the point of all this? Haha. Just kidding. I love my husband, I love my family, it's just...I always thought I'd do something, especially when I was young and living in the city...

Thorne thinks this album will do really well. He keeps telling me that, every time I ask him, and I've probably asked like a hundred times so he must really mean it. He says that audiences weren't ready for me when I was young and sort of wild, but now I'm mature and ready to handle fame. Plus he said something about autotune improving since that first single...

Dear Diary,

I was so nervous on my first day at the Chestnut Ridge private school that I though I was going to barf. I mean it's cool that I don't have to take a bus for three hours a day just to get to school and back, but...I've only heard scary things about high school. Like that there's bullies, and your body changes, and the tests are really hard. But it didn't take long for me to find a friend...Aurelio saw me totally freaking out by my locker and he said I should come hang out with him and his friend Miko. They were pretty cool, and it made me feel a lot better to have people who knew their way around the school, and who to avoid and stuff. I'm really glad to have made a friend...even though I think Aurelio is sort of into me. I'm not ready for anything like that yet, but it's sort of fun to be like-liked, I guess?

Halloween was a blast - but I've still got temporary red dye on my hands from helping Mandy with her costume. And the sink is a mess. I'm never letting her dye her hair again, even just for a day. She dressed as some sort of zombie girl, Pear went as a soccer player whose name I can't remember, and Sterling dressed as Spiderman. That one I remember because he wouldn't stop jumping around the house yelling, "I'm Spiderman!" and pretending to trap me with his imaginary webs.

The kids went trick-or-treating in town. There's not very many houses, so we supplemented their candy hauls with a few full-sized chocolate bars. And then we all wrapped up the evening watching a scary movie together. I wish Mandy had a few friends in town that she could have hung out with - it's not right for a teenager to stay home with her parents on Halloween night.
