My ordinary adblocker has saved me from all of that. It's currently blocking 178 ads, so I can see why you're having a problem.

Just good old extension Ad Blocker. You can set it up to JUST block tumblr if you want. I have not seen an ad in years. What is Ad.
simblrcorner answered your question “*grrrrr*”
I use firefox and have adblocker add-on because I absolutely hate ads on any site, it slows my entire computer down if they are there. So, I don't see any ads at all on tumblr, other than the 'featured blog' or whatever it is on the right side.
*sigh* Yeah, I was afraid that would be the answer. :) Like I said, I don’t generally at all mind ads on sites that I use, so long as I can still, you know, use the site without frustration. I understand that it’s how such sites generate revenue, and I don’t really want to interfere with that. But when it comes to a point where the ads interfere with using the site...Yeah, that’s a problem. And while I know that you can configure AdBlocker...I dunno, I guess I didn’t want to go to the effort. However, if this is the way that Tumblr is going, then it is what I might have to resort to, even if I only block Tumblr.
Which I don’t necessarily want to do, really, like I said. Actually, if there was a setting where I could just block the video kind of ads and leave static ones alone, I’d be all for that and happy to keep the ads that don’t slow down the site as a whole. So.... @staff, would that be a possibility, for those of us who have internet speeds that rival the speed of glaciers on Quaaludes or the rate at which the Himalayas are rising?
Yay, I got about 10 hours of sleep in two “shifts.” ‘Bout time. :P Unfortunately, now my sleep schedule is whacked since I woke up at 4:30AM. But hopefully I’ll get back on track over the next few days.
Anyway, replies for @littleblondesim, @olivesims, @holleyberry, @penig, and @simblrcorner...
littleblondesim replied to your post “The usual replies. :)”
Your post lead me to noeatcrap, too. I agree completely with you that it has too much extra stuff. Same as Fuzzy said, I'm interested. :)
Yeah, Pescado’s mods are like that. He has very specific ideas about how the game should run. Which is fine because we all do, and all our ideas are a little different from each other. (Mine happens to be waaaaaaaay different than Pescado’s. :) ) I just wish he had separate mods for each bit of what noeatcrap does, so that we could pick and choose the bits we want. But, since he doesn’t....I’m going to take a look at it today. If I can’t make head or tails of it (which is likely, as I’m a very beginner when it comes to understanding BHAVs), I’ll be putting in a request with a Simmer-friend who doesn’t do Tumblr but who DOES do BHAVs. I’m sure she can wrangle it, when she has a bit of time, and I’ll share what she comes up with if she doesn’t do so herself.

Some of the sky dome things have distant terrain at the bottom of them and I think it helps.
O RLY???? I’ll have to hunt some down, see if they’ll work as needed... Thanks for the tip!
holleyberry replied to your post “fuzzyspork replied to your post:The usual replies. :)Re: washing...”
Where can I find this nobathroomdishes mod?
If you haven’t already found it for yourself, it (and all of Pescado’s mods) is here on this alphabetical list: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/al/hacks/ (That’s assuming you have AL, which I’m pretty sure you have. :) )
penig replied to your photoset “In which iCad disguises edges of the world successfully and...”
Could you pile some upside down clouds there, for fog?
Well. you can’t place cloud boxes upside-down, but they can be placed underwater, where the terrain is lowest. Perhaps I can finagle it so that the clouds generate and sit just on top of the water. Only problem is my game doesn’t seem to like me modifying the terrain at the edges of the world; it tends to crash. But if I can’t find the sky globes olivesims mentioned or if they don’t work as I’d want, I might give that a try, yes. Thanks for the idea. :)
simblrcorner reblogged your post and added:
As for sims not washing their hands after going...
Sorry, replying to a reblog addition cuts off most of what you said. :) For readers: simblrcorner pointed out that Sims washing their hands after using the toilet replenishes the bit of hygiene loss they get from using a toilet. Which is true. So, yeah, it’s not entirely useless, but for me...Well, my Sims tend to live scheduled lives. They shower/bathe every day either when they get up or before they go to bed and this gets them through a normal day without needing to bathe again (Unless they’ve done something like going jogging or visiting the gym, after which they need a shower, but that’s to be expected), no matter how many times they use the toilet. So...Yeah, still not seeing a need for my Sims to wash their hands. I do like realism in my game, yes, but I’m also pragmatic about things. If something doesn’t have a tangible purpose like increasing skills or markedly replenishing a motive or maintaining relationships or improving their crafting or something really useful like that, then I’d rather my Sims be doing something that DOES do one of those things. :) Hand-washing just doesn’t qualify, for my purposes.
