These are additional screenshots and evidence of the people who were complicit to @Simvicii and Oliveandoak’s behaviour in the secret server. I tried to organize the screenshots by person but a lot of them overlapped with each other, so I ended up labelling the posts by number according to each conversation/interaction.
As mentioned in my previous post, take this evidence as you will.

These 2 incidents were the only times where the people in the server called them out for the problematic things said:

Regarding Intramoon:
Lastly, I wanted to touch on something that was talked about on @simreceipt and within the simblr community. People have been saying that @intramoon has been supporting @Simvicii and Oliveandoak’s actions. When they first entered the server, it did seem that way but there was an incident with Oliveandoak when she was complaining about including cc in her simdumps. Intramoon had tried to explain to her why it was important to respect creators and their TOU. After this conversation, it was very obvious there was tension between both. Afterwards, you would never see Intramoon being on the chat at the same time as Simvicii and Oliveandoak. It was very clear there was a divide. I don’t have any screenshots of that interaction but I have fact checked this with multiple people from the old server. I saw this myself as well. In early May/late April, Intramoon softblocked Simvicii. Here is proof of Simvicii finding out and mentioning it:
Genuinely gutted. Everytime I find a blog or creator I really like they deactivate. I was really invested in Simvicii's legacy, really enjoying the story and I don't read many. There's been a few I was really into but theirs really grabbed me. And then the blog disappeared and I don't know why. And I just noticed one of my favourite creators have deactivated (Blettie) I loved their recolours and their palette was just my aesthetic. I know they will have their reasons, and its none of my business, but it does make me sad to see them go.
My Experience With Simvicii, Oliveandoak & Their Discord
I’ve seen a lot of posts going around in regards to simvicii, oliveandoak, their discord and private channels. I felt now would be the best time to speak out about my experience with these things. I think it’s best that people have as much information as possible.
Disclaimer: I am not innocent to anything and neither is anyone else in that discord. We are all at fault for allowing simvicii and oliveandoak behave the way they did as well as enabling/aiding in their behaviors. This is partly why I left tumblr back in March because I realized I had become the same type of person as them and I was disgusted with myself. This does not exclude me from any blacklash/punishment but I recognize my mistakes and left to address them.
How We Met: Probably around November/December or earlier back in 2019 Simvicii had dm’d me asking for a sim, this was when they went by a different username. At the time I wasn’t giving sims away because poor experiences but I had just followed her blog and became a fan so I gave her one. She later gave me a sim in exchange as well. The sim I gave her is who everyone knows as Hollie Evans. (More on this later)
Joining The Discord: After exchanging sims I never talked to Simvicii again so when Oliveandoak dm’d me asking if I wanted to join their discord I was a bit surprised. But me being me and wanting to be apart of something I chose to join, probably in early January. Everything seemed pretty normal at first but within the first few weeks I noticed a good amount of gossip going on. The server was still small and hand picked individuals so I guess they didn’t have to worry quite yet. Everything started pretty small/mild but then once the private channel was made things escalated.
The Private Channel: I guess under the safety of the channel Simvicii and Oliveandoak felt more comfortable being their true selves. Admittedly, Simvicii didn’t say too many harsh things but Oliveandoak definitely did. I remember on multiple occasions she posted screenshots of her asks and mocked the senders. There were a few asks where they didn’t quite make sense, most likely result of poor english, and she would mock them saying ‘wtf does this mean/how am i supposed to read this’ and others of the like.
Most of the time we, we being the others in the channel, would just go along with what they said. I noticed a few of them didn’t actually participate in many of those types of conversations, probably because they knew it was wrong. I myself would simply go along or ignore them because whenever I had tried to call Oliveandoak out for being too rude, mocking people, or simply tried to defend whoever it was she would get very passive aggressive with me.
Some Of What Was Said: For the most part I don’t remember a lot of the actual words and phrases they used but I remember a few of the topics. I know on several occasions they mocked their followers/people who sent them asks. They mocked simblrs they didn’t like. I actually remember three very specific simblrs being brought up almost daily by either simvicii or oliveandoak. They also would complain about people asking them to include POC or LGBTQ+ sims.
About The POC/LGBTQ+ Topics: I wanted to expand on this specifically because Simvicii is very good with words and a lot of us in the discord kind of were persuaded to agree based on how she worded things. So, most of the time the conversation was about how simblr forces people to include POC/LGBTQ+ sims and Simvicii felt that it was wrong or whatever because there’s a lot of blogs doing already + why should they be forced to do something on their blog, or something of that nature.
Now, to a degree I agreed with her simply because me being apart of the LGBTQ+ community I really hate seeing straight people trying to portray us. It almost always ends up weird and cringey. I didn’t want to see another person making that type of content. I just didn’t. So, I agreed and told her I didn’t think she needed to be posting that because she can’t related and it’s better to not do something you’re not informed on. However, that does not mean she can’t have LGBTQ+ backstory characters.
I know recently there’s a post going around with a screenshot of her talking about how asians are normally excluded from the term POC, especially here on simblr, and I have to agree. However, that does not mean you do not exclude the rest of the POC community in retaliation. Now, I’m not saying this to be rude but even when Simvicii makes “asian” sims they still look an awful lot like their white sims because their sim style makes them all look fairly similar. So, even when she made asian sims you could barely tell. But making asian sims does not exclude you from making black, hispanic, latino, middle eastern, islander, etc sims. You don’t get to trade one for the others.
Same with Oliveandoak. She got asks about her lack of POC sims and she complained saying ‘I have POC sims!!’. It doesn’t count when they’re all extremely white passing. I even personally sent her a dark skinned sim to which she switched the content on and made her look several shades lighter. This is a problem. Aesthetic or not you still need to include dark skinned sims and other races.
Moving on.
Hollie Evans: So, back to the original topic of Hollie Evans. A lot of you who know who Simvicii know who this sim is. She was one of the main characters paired as Romeo’s bff/gf/whatever. Well, yes I actually made that sim. HOWEVER, Simvicii claims (after 2-3 months of use) that the Hollie we see today isn’t actually my Hollie but a replica she made herself.
She claims that she ‘remade’ Hollie and just ‘used the same presets and everything’. I’m sorry but that’s not true. If you took a side by side of the two sims you would see that the facial structures are identical and we all know even if you try to recreate someone else’s style using the exact same content it’s not going to be 100% identical, which Hollie to her core is identical.
The thing that bothers me and hurts me is that she went our whole friendship telling me it’s the sim I gave her and then when confronted claims it’s not that sim, when clearly it is she just wants out of the doghouse. She sent Hollie to people for collabs without saying anything to me. She changed all her custom content ‘to match her style’ and she no longer uses the ‘Hollie Evans by Honeyswarm’ tags. Which the tag thing only happened after I left tumblr.
I think it’s extremely rude and hurtful to ask someone for a sim and then change everything about them, claim them as yours and share them with other people. It’s simply not right and she knows it. She would constantly bring up a blogger who had forced her to give them her sims and then ripped her off. She knows what that feels like and she knows that’s wrong.
There’s probably a hell of a lot more I could talk about, like the three blogs they always mentioned, how they all but basically convinced the private channel to exclude someone in the discord, their lack of care/empathy towards other server members/myself, admitting to sending hate to people they disliked/disagreed with and just their general toxic behavior and manipulation but I think this post is long enough.
I don’t have “evidence” to everything here because I never thought I’d need it/be posting about it but considering everyone’s coming out I figured I would too. The only “evidence” I have is in relation to our conversation when she admitted she ripped my sim off. If you’d like those I can share them but otherwise that’s all I have.
I don’t know if this post will reach anyone or even mean anything but I felt like I needed to say these things and make it aware to others. It’s always best to have as much information as possible so that’s what I’m doing here. It’s really up to you to decide what you do with it.
I also want to apologize to everyone affected by the things Simvicii and Oliveandoak have said/done. I’m so sorry I allowed them to say and do the things they said and did. I’m so sorry I didn’t stick up for y’all better. I was afraid of losing ‘friends’ and I was afraid what might happen if I went against them. That doesn’t make it any better but please no I am so deeply sorry for everything said/done in that server that I either aided in or allowed to happen.
omar barrera for @simvicii‘s bachelor challenge ✨
i haven’t submitted for a bc in...2 years??? but idk man this seemed fun and uh, yeah.
the rules said ‘maxis mix’, so mm hair on an otherwise alpha sim hopefully counts
omar is — creative, a bookworm, and a little erratic
— “omar can still remember it vividly. a pocket flashlight gripped in one hand, a paperback copy of stephen king’s it clutched in the other. mama would have spanked him with a chankla if she saw him with it, but he knew she was already sleeping for the night.” a big, biiiig horror fan.
— right when he was legally allowed to, omar got pennywise tattooed on his back. mama did hit him that time. he got a retweet from stephen king, so it was so worth it.
— found out he was, in fact, gayy at 14 when the boy he shared a tent with during boy scouts kissed him and he thought he liked it waaaaaaaaaaaay better than when his girlfriend kissed him.
— mama thought his piercings made him look ‘like [he] likes boys,” so that’s how he confessed he was, indeed, into boys.
— he was supposed to go to an all boys boarding school, but his parents soon trashed that idea lmao
— grew up with 4 brothers and 3 sisters all of whom are adopted, so people don’t believe him when says that ginger over there is his brother. once he starts his own family, he hopes to at least double those numbers. or triple. it’s up for debate. no less than 5.
Hmmm... A SimSecret post that mentions Simvicii drama, uses claims of racism to try and legitimize stupid petty drama, and also uses being a 30+ woman as an insult as if being a woman over thirty is the worst thing a person could be???
Hmmm I wonder what group of simmers could possibly be responsible for this? I guess we’ll never know. : /

backstory
adam was born to a well-off family in del sol valley, that pretty much embodied the concept of “new money”. his home life was no happy one, his parents cold and each mentally abusive in their own different ways, his childhood memories tainted by the pressure he faced each day. he was pushed to pursue a career in business as well as excel in athletics and student government in university, which overwhelmed him to the point of nearly dropping out as a super senior. he just barely made it through off the promise that all his debts would be paid by his parents, before going no-contact the minute he was in the clear. since then, he’s been staying with his aunt as he tries to figure out what he wants out of life, but struggles due to his past trauma and poor mental health. although he’s pretty damn book smart, he has poor time management skills and little motivation, these problems only worsening as he doesn’t seek treatment and further isolates himself. He has a pretty clear hesitance to let anyone get too close- he’s already had the relationship he had throughout college go bad, and doesn’t have the best expectations for any future ones. however, his best friend from uni convinced him to audition for the bachelor “with” him (just to back out the day after, promising to be adam’s enthusiastic cheerleader instead). so frankly, he’s scared as hell to be doing this, but doesn’t want to back out, either. though he hasn’t admitted it to anyone, he is fairly lonely, and longs for someone to truly be open with without fear of being judged or pressured. even deeper down, he’d like to have a family and be a better parent and partner than the majority of people he’s had in his life so far. and even if this is scary, it could be the opportunity for him to do just that.

private dl if chosen
Beau West would always be a step behind his peers as a child. Born with a congenital heart condition that required surgery in his first month and a number of years on medications, back and forth to and from the family doctor and constantly under the watchful eye of his parents, his early years were far from normal. He wasn’t allowed out to play with his rambunctious older siblings for fear of him becoming hurt. He was the only child of four homeschooled until middle school. It felt, in some ways, like being trapped. Being locked inside like some fragile thing when all of it was so that he could live.
Not much living to be had within those four walls of his family home.
But as he became a preteen, his three brothers protective teenagers by then, his parents loosened their hold. He hadn’t needed a doctor’s appointment in years by then and he didn’t need medication to sure blood ran through him as it should. So for the first time, Beau was allowed to attend public school.
It was awful.
As nice as it seemed to go out and make friends with other kids, play outside, adventure and explore, Beau had gotten accustomed to life inside. He relied primarily on his books and video games for comfort and, truthfully, social situations without his brothers were just a bit too stressful. When one of them was there he felt safe and comfortable to relax and be himself, but without them all he could manage to do was linger in the corner thinking about Super Mario.
The one certainty in his life was that he’d go into medicine. Beau knew since his childhood of fitting toy blood pressure monitors on the family dog’s tail that he wanted to help people the way he’d been helped. He studied hard in high school and while he had the chance to make friends, his grades were always more important. Or maybe it just felt like it was too late to try. Like he’d missed his chance. Books, at least, would always be there for him.
Beau worked hard to get his grades up and keep them that way. He was punctual, organized - he knew which university he wanted to go to before high school had even begun, and now that he was getting to the home stretch, goals crystallizing before him, he wasn’t about to let anything stand in his way.
And then at last, it was there. And he realized that he would have to move away from home for the first time. He would be without his brothers for the first time. And finally he began to question his dream.
It took a while to warm up to the idea of a room mate, but before long Beau got the chance at a social life he’d wished for. His nursing friends were just as studious, but rationalized that if they could find time to hang, so could he. And Beau found he liked being with people. He enjoyed their company, the late night study sessions, the horror movie nights sprawled all over the floor with blankets and popcorn and wine.
His time in university and nursing school gave him the confidence he’d missed his whole life. Now working his dream job at a hospital, it’s all starting to come together. It would just be nice to have someone to share it with.
TL;DR:
born with a congenital heart defect, but he’s good now
homeschooled until middle school
big dork, loved his books and his video games
protected by his 3 older brothers
studious boy in high school, nose to the books to get into nursing school
blossomed after high school, for the most part
Personality:
Warm. Beau is a pretty caring guy, he’s ready with a hug and a smile if someone’s having a bad day and he genuinely cares how people are doing.
A little shy. Not as bad as he was, definitely, but Beau will never be a party animal. It takes him a minute to open up.
Ambitious. He’s happiest with a goal in place and will work his butt off to see that goal to a positive conclusion, no matter what it is.
Slightly married to the job. He cares about his friends and family a great deal, but his phone is always on and he has a hard time not thinking about work.
Jealous. Growing up watching everyone else have things he wasn’t allowed, Beau has a bit of a green streak in him. He does his best to work on it and his therapist is well aware of it, but sometimes it gets the better of him to this day.
Goofy. Though he’s not the quickest to open up, Beau has a goofball streak. When he’s trying to make a good impression he’s very polite and even, but with friends he trusts he loves a good laugh and that polite chuckle can turn into a raucous cackle in no time.
Fun Facts:
Loves slasher and monster movies, but psychological horror genuinely spooks him.
Taught himself to do the robot one summer in his room. Told no one.
Takes his coffee with milk, no sugar, but sometimes adds a bit of vanilla extract for some ~pizzazz~.
Thinks cilantro tastes like hot ass.
His morning routine is the most important part of the day and one of the few things he’s slightly neurotic about. Listen, he’s a morning person.
Mild OCD presenting itself in a lot of handwashing. He can’t go from one activity to another without washing his hands. It wasn’t as bad, but got worse after his ex cheated on him.
Also taught himself to play the banjo and it is hands down his most annoying skill.
