Soo Important! Thank You Zerbu! ❤️

I know, I’m late for an Advent Candle Arrangement, but hey it is for XMAS too. And our Sims can celebrate Christmas all 28 Days. So I’ve been not too late? 👼 

This arrangement has 4 slots for place 4 candles. So our Sims can celebrate advent. Every sunday a flame more. 😊

The arrangement you can find in Decor/Plants and cost 100§ and the candle in Table-lights and it costs 1§. I hope, you will like it.

I wish you all a Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄 🎅🏽 🎁 🍾 💝

Just yesterday I was thinking about what dimensions it has assumed. As soon as they can create, texture and upload a simple cube, they already have "Buy me a coffee" or "Become my patron". But it does not bother me. You will not see any money from me or a monthly subscription? Never ever! I like to use good CC as long as it is free. I can also make objects myself if I feel like it and have time for it. And then I like to share it with the community. But for me it is a hobby and not a commerce. So I also offer it for free. I do not need patrons, I would enslave myself because I would always have to deliver content. But as already said, they should do it. But what really, really upset me is the users who use foreign content to beautify their Sims or their homes and either share it with the CC and / or even want get paid for it. That's where my tolerance stops! When I create a sim or build a house in the game, it's in my eyes the gameplay. So they want get money for playing the game? What's wrong in their heads?

Something Bothering Me - Message Addressed to Sims CC Patreons

I don’t have issues with Sims CC creators desiring to get some kind of payback for the work they do.

I’ve dealt with ad.fly (grudgingly–it’s an awful experience and could infect others for barely any return)

I have tolerated and reblogged in the past those who want donations (again, not a huge issue, can be annoying if spammed

I support those who want to put their items on TSR and earn income by those who either download cc from there or buy a monthly pass.

And now there is Patreon. Which has seen an upsurgence in the S3 and S4 community.

While I have no inherent issues with people allowing others to support their work via any of these formats, I do have issue when it comes to gatekeeping content by means of putting CC behind a paywall.

And before I hear “people can do what they like”, yes they can, this is my opinion as a Former/ Retired CC creator and converter.

It’s alienating to many of the community, many young teens and adults. That demographic can maybe afford to support one or two creators, cannot pay $1-3/ avg per creator. It’s not feasible for many.

It’s also manipulative because it’s waving usually very popular content in front of others faces (by those that can afford it) and pretty much saying that unless you buy Into me ($1-2 for maybe one or two pieces of content) you’re getting screwed.

There is no way I’d pay $1-3 for one piece of virtual clothing/skin/whatever for any game, let alone Sims. Yet in this community exclusive cc, particularly clothing shared between friends or ‘popular’ simblrs brings status and further rebloggability for the simblrs they bestow it unto. It’s manipulative.

I have no issue with Patreon or giving money to creators. I have issue when it’s abused.

So the question can be asked, well what do you do instead to get more money in a less gatekeeping/paywall manipulative manner?

I will not say names, but one Simblr in particular has a good idea of how to encourage others to engage and participate in their Patreon but also not gatekeeping the creme Brûlée of their content: Timed Exclusives

Timed exclusives allows those who are willing to give a bit of money upfront to get the content sooner and therefore a slight advantage – the Patron still gets benefit. While those who are unable to pay but want to enjoy the content can still participate and download the content from their favourite creators.

I’ve never believed for myself that I deserved money for my creations (whether original or conversions) but I have tolerated and supported those when I could and support the choice of being able to be paid When it’s fair.

This message is not meant to shame but as a means of saying, Hey maybe consider the alternative of Timed Exclusives instead of gated content.

The only other alternative other than that is others taking your gated content and reuploading somewhere else – I’m old enough to remember the pirate booty during the S2 era.

Instead of leading people to desperation, keep an open mind and maybe consider this point of view

Deaderpool's Discord is On a Break

The depth of bad behavior from Simmers we've witnessed on this patch has made me ashamed of a LARGE portion of our community. 

Harrassing Lumpinou was just the beginning. 

Refusing to lift a finger to help yourselves, refusing to read ANYTHING we gave you to prepare for the patch either ahead of time, or after it landed, just made things worse. 

Burying our support channels in repeat demands for help from our volunteer staff without testing your patched game with no mods or custom content in was just one more nail in the coffin. 

But the thing that takes the cake, by far, was the abuse some of you heaped on people in the Sims After Dark discord, especially Meg. NO ONE deserves to be talked to the way she was, and especially not by entitled brats who don't want to read, who expect us to magically force their games into working, with no effort from them.

I was already upset about what happened to Lumpinou, so when SAD decided to take a well deserved break to decompress, Deaderpool's discord also closed. If you're a member, you can see Shino's announcement, here: https://discord.com/channels/285367261374447616/461584055532519426/1086800831971590305 

The epidemic of people STILL not reading continues, too. Several of us have received DMs since yesterday asking about what's going on, when it was CLEARLY laid out in the above announcement post, in which everyone was pinged. Please don't be that person, not now, and especially not after we re-open our servers, probably sometime Tuesday... depending on how SAD's relaunch goes.

People's behavior will determine how long we STAY open. If we immediately start seeing more of the same crap that led us to close for this break, we will take another one. Don't be the reason people can't have nice things. Behave like you have some common sense, and we will do our best to help you with your issues. 

Be aware we are not going to let ourselves be run over. Our tolerance for bad behavior as a whole has run out. We're much more likely to just ban troublemakers on the spot, and move on to the more cooperative people who genuinely appreciate our support. 

Just in case you end up needing it, the process for appealing a ban is here.

Thanks for reading.

Alternative 'AIKE' Cabinets and Shelves

Hi guys, i'm again. Today I bring you an alternative cabinet and a modular shelf for the Homechef Hustle Kitchen. I've changed the inner corner and for all cabinets the shading. It just annoys me when the inner corner is darker than the rest and when the cabinets don't really match the counters. The inner corner shelf is decluttered und now a piece of the modular shelves. There are 7 pieces like cabinets too. Hope, you'll like it.

I always get nervous when s4s updates for a new pack because this community kinda scare the hell out of me. Im scared me and other creator will have the same idea and post the same cc at the same time and then the less famous one will be INVADED by angry anons until they take the piece down. I hope we could just stop that and just let people make cc. It's fun. It feels like playing with clay and sometimes it's even more fun than playing the actual game. It's pretty, it's cool to create something and to get likes and cute comments for it bc it feels good when people like your little things. Let's just have fun this time so no one will feel like rushing their fun time.

Today is THE day!

Today is the big bad Baby Patch day, so this is a reminder to prepare yourself. You should either remove all Mods and play a Mod free Savegame, or you should disable auto patching for your Game go to Origin > Application Settings > Automatic Game Updates (Under Client Update section) or EA App > Settings > Downloads > and switch off automatic game updates until all your must have Mods are updated/confirmed to be ok. 

Since we Modder get the Patch the same time as you do, it would be great if you could wait 30-min-1hrs before you patch your Game, so we don’t get stuck in the download process because of high traffic. The sooner we can patch our Game, the sooner we can Update our Mods :) Thanks xD

😍 😍 😍 This is soooo GORGEOUS!!!! 😍 😍 😍

My first Post on Tumbl 🤪

Hm, I know today is not Valentines Day but I don’t want to wait until february to share these today finished files with you. Hope you like it. 😊

This set comes in 14 swatches. Excuse me for not making the mats in 10,000 different colors. I would lose patience about it. 🤭    I have chosen only for my taste these colors that fit the heart and that I myself would use in the game. 😚  But please feel free to create colors that you like. But please do not stand alone recolors. It’s not about the meshes, these are just square planes. However, image processing costs me love, patience and time. Every single heart is hand-drawn and unique. The irregular shapes are so intentional. That’s why I want this to be respected, with credit and mesh linked. Thank you. 💗
