I know there's a lot of talk abt weather or not the Lans and the Nies knew abt the Wen remnants being civilian.... but tbh, i don't think it matters?

We're talking aht the ppl who saw WRH get to power and stalled till the last possible moment. Abt the ones who saw injustice happen and looked away. It's pretty obvious everyone knows JGS sleeps around, yet i doubt any of the righteous sects would confront him abt it unless he assaulted a woman from their clan/ fam ( IF they did and didn't just silence/ punish her bcs patriarchy)

Not to mention how everyone treated wwx for not being of noble blood. I really don't think the ppl calling him the Son of a servant who aims too high for his station, or LQR who abused his power over him bvs CSSR scolded him when they were teens will do much to stand up for a group of non cultivators who bear the Wen Name.

There's also the thing that killing one's whole fam was a thing ppl did back then. It was seen as righteous to incur revenge over someone who killed a parent by killing their bloodline.

So the question of weather or not they knew is inconsequential, since i seriously doubt they CARED

Okay one, because I must defend the tsundere uncle: LQR did not actually abuse his power over WWX. He was petty and directed a great many questions towards WWX that he could have directed towards someone else, he was a bit of an ass, but that is not abusing his power. What you're forgetting is that WWX was a menace. Breaking the rules was his favourite pastime, and LQR was in charge of discipline. He hated WWX because of CSSR, and that wasn't fair, but WWX never got a punishment in the Cloud Recesses that he hadn't earned. He knew the rules, he broke them, and he kept breaking them knowing what the consequences would be. And... these are LQR's classes. People forget this, but when JFM asked if WWX could accompany JC LQR could've just said no. There is a difference between bias and abuse of power, you know!

Anyway. They absolutely would've cared, are you kidding? We know they would've cared, because if they wouldn't have cared there was zero reason to lie to them and increase the odds of pissing them off if they ever found out the truth. It would've been a lot easier to tell them "Yeah, they're civilians but they're Wens so they deserve to die"! A lot less work, not having to cover that up! The Lans never really treat WWX differently from higher class people as far as I recall, but even if they did there is a big difference between being a bit of a classist dick, taking a "wait and see" approach to a clearly inevitable conflict as long as it didn't impact them too much, and being okay with the slaughter of a civilian population! I'm not denying that the Lans and Nies have some issues with classism, but we're talking about two very different things here! I'm sorry, I find it extremely difficult to accept that the sect that took the last Wen in and protected him for over a decade would've bothered to do that if they thought wiping out the Wens down to the youngest child was righteous enough that they would've willingly supported it! Hell, LXC actively tries to defend the Wens; he stops because... he doesn't have proof they're innocent (because JGS and JC are lying liars who lie). And his argument was that they could easily be innocent. Not exactly the debate tactic of someone who wouldn't care either way, don't you think?

Also... they don't confront JGS. Why the hell would they? As far as I'm aware no one actually knows he's a rapist, just that he sleeps around, and while that's scummy behaviour it's not a crime. He's the ruler of another sect! They didn't have any right to interfere in his personal affairs that had nothing to do with their sects! No one approves of his behaviour, but that's like saying the leader of one country should go give the leader of another country a stern telling-off and refuse to play nice with them because they're having an affair; no one is going to do that because it would be a political nightmare! Someone sleeping around is not going to impact diplomatic relations with other countries (or sects in this case), because the two things are entirely separate! If JGS went after a high-ranking member of one of the great sects that would be the only situation where they could go after him for it, because then it would affect them and they'd have the right to involve themselves! But so long as JGS wasn't sticking his dick in any members of the great sects they could not censure the Chief Cultivator for sleeping around.

Basically... I don't think for a moment that the Nies and Lans wouldn't have cared if they'd known the truth. And I feel like I should come back to this, because it's important: the main reason I think that is that hiding the truth from them, JGS and JC going out of their way to lie and claim that the Wen remnants were WWX's army and a threat, is a move that only makes sense if they know the other sects will stop them otherwise. If no one will care there's no reason to keep the Wens' identities secret. If people will think of it as a righteous act there's a very good reason not to keep it secret. If the Lans and Nies wouldn't care or would agree that the Wens deserved to die either way, all hiding the fact that the Wens are civilians achieves is creating the chance that the Lans and Nies will learn the truth, be royally pissed off about being lied to, and quite possibly never trust the Jins and Jiangs again because they've proved they will hide the truth to get what they want. And while honestly JC might be stupid enough to do that anyway, JGS isn't.

Sketchpad in inventory fix

Created for: The Sims 4 by Nies

Sick of the sketch pad wandering around your house? Yep, me too. Here's the fix! With this mod, sims will automatically put the sketchpad in their inventory after drawing. All I did for that is change the "default place to put the pad at" to the sim's inventory.

MOD: Sketchpad In Inventory Fix

This has quickly become another one of my favorite mods. If you’ve signed up for the Freelancer Artist career, you know that you’re pretty much doing everything on the little sketchpad. That’s cool and all except for the fact that the sketchpad by default NEVER GOES BACK INTO YOUR INVENTORY! My Sims seem to want to put it in the most ridiculous places ever and it’s so hard to find again! Well, thanks to the “Sketchpad In Inventory Fix” mod by @nieswillsneeze, that’s no longer a problem. Sims will now use the sketchpad and then put it right back in their inventory.
