I totally blame the paywallers for this at this point. They tested the waters for EA if people are willing to pay for subscription models. I hope they'll give themselves a pat on the shoulder if Sims 5 is subscription-based, and releasing mods will be limited to EA's official marketplace. Cheers.

Remember when My First Pet Stuff came out and we all made a big stink about it? Remember when TS4 team said it sold well but also quietly decided that they wouldn't do an add on stuff pack like that again? Then they made up a new kind of pack and put out stuff that absolutely is just leftovers from packs? And now they are releasing EA App subscription exclusive kits of some pajamas?

What a sad state the Sims 4 has come to.

I learned something from this: EA doesn’t give a fuck about the Sims 4 and even less about its community. Out of sheer spite I just became a patron of Paralives.

(Un)Friendly Reminder

A seemingly same-sex couple isn’t necessarily lesbian or gay. A seemingly opposite-sex couple isn’t necessarily heterosexual. *gasp* I know. Scary isn’t it? The missing first letter for the potential attraction of one or even both partners you might be looking for might be the B in LGBTQIA+. And even the B doesn’t stand for bisexuals only. All of our m-spec siblings deserve to be seen and accepted. Thank you.

Woah, easy Tiallu. Why are you so mad right now? Well, how to tell you didn’t watch the My Wedding Stories trailer without telling me you didn’t watch the trailer and based your article solely on the cover art. Oh two female presenting sims must be a lesbian couple. That must have caused all the trouble. Oh, and bi the way, maybe it’s a good idea to rewatch the Vampires trailer. Caleb Vatore’s m-spec sexuality gets erased on a regular basis, too. Caution, I might bi-te today without consent.

I hope there’s a special place in hell for CC creators that permalock their stuff on Patreon, but offer it on Simswhatever for free after early access. Oh, and of course you have to download each file of a set one by one.

May you get hit by lightning while you’re taking a- *inhales deeply* I’ll better stop here.

This -ing part!

We saw. We noticed. And we’re done making excuses. We watched as many of you stood silent during doxxing and harassment. We notice now your silence as people try to push 4+ weeks of early access on us.

More thoughts...

When you take people who are already emotionally exhausted from all that goes on in the world, who already have to pay almost 1K to access the full features of a game, and then nickel and dime them more for CC, and call them ungrateful when they don’t want to pay…they get angry. A lot of us have supported creators in OTHER ways such as retweets and reblogs, likes and shares. CC finds posts and WCIF answers. Only to be met with “you should be grateful and support us!” As if we haven’t been already? Then the sob stories and tantrums begin. Trying to tug at our emotions, as if we ourselves aren’t struggling. As if we are to blame for the fact that the creator chose to bank on an unstable choice of platform to make money on. You didn’t think to possibly save some profit for emergencies? For the possibility EA would do this? Some of you are coming up with these excuses while your patron numbers are in the thousands. I really don’t believe you are hurting. Meanwhile people who are almost homeless, smaller creators, those with illnesses that prevent them from working…all immediately complied with EA’s changes and did right. While others with large followings acted like they suddenly couldn’t read. We saw. We noticed. And we’re done making excuses. We watched as many of you stood silent during doxxing and harassment. We notice now your silence as people try to push 4+ weeks of early access on us. We notice how you vague post about those who call you to the carpet. We notice how you send your following after those who question you. And we will not forget. Some of you will never get our support again, in any form. You will blame us again. Because that is what you do. You will call it hate, a ��witch hunt”, or people being “ungrateful”. But we will know the truth. It’s gaslighting, victim blaming. It’s manipulation. And the heartbreaking thing is, if you simply admitted you didn’t handle things correctly. If you asked the community for forgiveness...If you asked us for ideas on how to go forward and listened to our input. We’d forgive you. But a lot of you are way too prideful for that.

So many creators opening up their Patreons after EA’s statement, telling us they’ll continue to make CC, because they love CC making and the community. Or rethinking their stance on early access because making and releasing CC every month brought them close to burnout. Thanking their patrons for sticking with them although they won’t get any early access benefits from now on...

And then going straight back to early access as soon as EA said it’s okay to lock their stuff for a ‘reasonable amount of time.’

Are you kidding me?!
