WCIF the hairs used for the preview of the davina dress?

HERE and HERE.

Most of the CC I use can be found at The Sims Resource.

And I recently created a board on Pinterest for all the CC I use in my previews.

i know you care about animals and that's why you're taking care of the strays, but stray/wild/street cats are genuinely a danger to your local ecosystem, they're actually considered an invasive species in most places. please keep this in mind, because you should care about the animals that they kill too. i don't mean this to sound bad, i genuinely hope you can help them all find homes but putting yourself and your family in financial jeopardy for it isn't safe for you.

Hello dear, thank you so much for your ask, I really appreciate your concerns and efforts to raise awareness, and don't worry you don't sound bad at all. 💛

Please, keep in mind that I am from another country and probably another continent from where you live.

I did some research, I read a few articles, I spent two days trying to find cats guilty of harming our multiple local ecosystems, but I didn't find anything that suggests that; I also didn't find any birds or rodents that are endangered in my area. In my neighborhood there aren't any other animals except for some birds and they are very rarely attacked. I will continue to keep this in mind and search some more in case I missed anything or if a new research contradicts everything that I read. I have to admit however that when our neighborhood was newly built it was infested with rats and mousses, until our neighbors adopted a cat, which is something that everyone is happy with, to be honest. So my conclusion is that cats aren’t really dangerous, if anything it's them that are in danger.

Indeed, cats here live mainly on the streets, most of them are stray/feral cats, it is not part of our culture to adopt them, and families with cats are the minority here. Luckily, things are changing, but at a slow pace. This is why it’s almost impossible to find families for most of them, believe me, we tried many many times. And we even tried to find a shelter for them but in vain. There are like 4 or 5 shelters out there and they are all full and not so comfortable at all.

Here are the reasons why I think cats are the ones in danger in our streets:

Most of the cats outside are sick or carry an illness, and veterinary medicine is very limited compared to what I see abroad.

The very cold winter and hell like summer contribute to their misery, bad health and even death.

Being hit by a car is a most common cause of death for them.

Some people are very hostile, hate or have cat phobia which pushes them to be violent towards them.

Stray dogs are another threat to their lives, they attack and kill them regularly, it happened to one of ours.

Last but not least, there is a government organization whose sole purpose is to capture and kill cats and dogs. They don’t even care if they are strays or adopted. You can google “Galoufa in Algiers” if you want to know more about this.

This is why my ultimate goal is to open an indoor cat shelter and keep them out of harm’s way. That would be a win-win situation for our local ecosystem and for my beloved cats. But in order to achieve that I need time, money and energy and I’m not there yet.

As for the finances, my sister and I are trying our best, she used to do this on her own, but now I'm helping her as much as I can.

Once again, thank you so much for your ask, it really sparked a conversation between me and my family which so far has been positive and helpful.

I hope my response gave you some relief. 💛

Hi Nords, not sure if others are having the same issue, but ever since the October update to The Sims 4 the default pucker up lips no longer work in my game :( I love the way these lips look so much! I'm wondering if others are also having this issue and if so, are you by chance planning to update it? Thanks!

Hey there, I know right? I can’t go in CAS without those lips!!

And no, it’s not just you, I was having the same issue, and I updated it and it’s working.

The thing is that’s not my CC, it’s Nyloa’s, however they have deactivated, and I hope I’m not wrong in assuming that I am allowed to upload the updated version (If not, please let me know, guys).

So HERE it is.

Can you stop reblogging requests from e-beggers. I get it that the economy is shit. Two people i know have been laid off from their jobs. Why should these people get special treatment because they are on tumblr? Stick to posting CC, thanks.

No I can’t. A few days ago I was “begging” for money. I understand what these people must feel, so I help however I can. They deserve special treatment because they are in need of it. Unfollow me, thanks. 

PS. If you like my CC you can find it at TSR, no need to be following me here. PPS. Unlike you, I can’t be mean, so have a nice day/night.
