My Top 23 Screenshots from 2023🎉

Thanks for the tag @armanasims (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)ㅤ♡

This tag game stumped me for a bit because I haven't been all that active on Tumblr this year. Frankly, it's been so infrequent that I don't even have the luxury of 23 screenshots to choose from (-_-"")

So, instead of my top 23 for the year, I've decided to share screenies that I never got around to posting. There are gameplay shots, a couple of scenery shots, and some posed ones thrown in for good measure - I hope you like them!

ETA: oh crap! I forgot to tag people hahahahaha...er...anyone who hasn't and wants to - please doooooo!!

My Top 23 Screenshots from 2023🎉

Thanks @biffybobs and @cowplant-snacks for the tag, loves!

This was so much harder than I imagined—and I didn't go in thinking it was going to be easy! How do you even define "top" screenshots?

Something I noticed on my first pass was that I was gravitating to a lot of posed shots, as they seem to tell a story better in a single image than you can with live gameplay. (Lots of favorite moments passed over because the action or reaction is spread over multiple images.) However as I pared down, they became the easiest to let go of. Easier than multiple scenics and tablescapes and other questionable "top" entries. In the end, it became about juxtaposition and joy.

Scrolling through a year's worth of posts on what turns out to be simblr gratitude day (?) has me feeling all kinds of mushy, so I'd just like to say I'm so grateful you're here. For anyone who bothered reading this, anyone who cares even a teeny tiny bit about my humble little Rebuild A City sims. Even if you've never left a comment, or read without liking a single post, or don't read at all but are unbothered enough to stick around following me for the 3 whole builds I manage to post per year... 😁 I'm grateful you're here and that I get to share my silly little post-apocalyptic world with you.

And, hey, one year in, now that we've set the pace... Here's to getting through years 3 and 4 (and hopefully more!) in 2024.

I'm forever opting to tag no one at all but this was nice so for once I'll tag lots of folks this time @myverycoolnickname @cantseemtohide @irrewilderer @panicsimss @saartje77 @oatberrytea @trash-llama @littlefallsnook @mysimsloveaffair @gladlypants @homewardial @memoirsofasim @thebramblewood @moonwoodhollow @introvertedfox @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants @devotedsims @lilacacia (that is, if you haven't already! I did my best to check, but I'm a bit behind the times getting to this!)

My Top 23 Screenshots From 2023

Thanks for tagging me @biffybobs and @mickimagnum! @someone-elsa and @madeofcc tagged me in a similar challenge, so let's just say this counts for both.

Anyway, this year was a mix of NSB 2 gameplay, lookbooks, Lunafox and edits. Unfortunately my NSB 2 save seems to have gone on to glory recently, so I don't know if I'll get to play with those sims again. Still it was nice to look back on a year in my sims on Tumblr.

I tag @xldkx @adoringsentiment @eileenccfolder @its-opheliasgarden @cinamun

My Top 30 Screenshots from 2023🎉

Thanks @surely-sims for the tag <3

I really tried to narrow it down but this was the best I could do. I hope you enjoy this walk scroll down memory lane.

You can follow the rest of the Hammond's journey here.

I tag @fizzytoo @gerbits @m0ckest @apricote @whyeverr @sweetbeagaming @thebramblewood @saturngalore @strawberry-nia and anyone else that wants to do this. :D

ps. if Anne can do 23 than I might as well just do 30 (which I found out is the photo max).

Top 23 Screenshots from 2023

Shout out to @illuminated-foxx for the tag (and apologies it took a while for me to get to posting this, I was waiting for my queue to run out haha.)

Going with my own personal top picks for this one, in chronological order!

Super hard to stop at just 23! There are quite a few I had to pass up on, just so that this list would have a little variety between the 4 families, (and not just be 23 pictures of Waverly petting farm animals).

Most of the simblrs I follow have already done this, so I'm gonna tag my fellow rotational buddy @culpepper-pals (assuming you've got the time on your hands to do it!)

[applesaucesims]

My Top 23 Screenshots from 2023

(actually 24 because I already removed so many and could not bring myself to remove another)

I was tagged by @sasaofastora and boy was it hard to choose! But I eventually narrowed it down to 23.

Didn't include every month in the list because some months just had too many good pics. This whole thing has also made me realise that 2023 was truly the year of Emma and Niall, love that for them. Another thing I realised is that I guess it's either wide angle or detail shots for me that I love the most.

I'm also tagging @simadelics @stargazingsims @blueshistorysims @satureja13 @swiftviolets - if you've already been tagged, it be what it be.

February

Might have peaked with this one idk. (x)

These two are from the same post and idk why but I'm just obsessed with them. (x)

March

"Idiots in love who are too shy to admit it to each other" trope my beloved. (x)

April

Two pics from the same post because I just put extra effort into flashbacks and flashforwards for unknown reasons. (x)

May

"Badly timed first kiss" trope my beloved. And I just love the little details of Emma's hand pushing Niall away. (x)

June

I lowkey love this wip preview more than the actual cc post. Sometimes I look back at it like "wtf how did I slay this hard??" (x)

Hand details my beloved. (x)

They are just so babey what can I say. (x)

July

July had the 1930s beach babes series, so there's a lot of edits I'm proud of. But I think this one is my favourite, and in general Judy slayed these the most imo. (x)

August

It's giving Van Gogh, it's giving aesthetic, it's giving masterpiece tbh. (x)

This is when I tested the new zeussims collection and it's another pic I just like staring at. I've first made my disney princess sims a long time ago, and I update them at least once a year, so seeing them all together (plus Barbie) just makes me very happy. (x)

September

I can't tell you why I love this shot so much, I just do. (x)

October

You know what? Actually, this is where I peaked. (x)

Height differences my beloved. (x)

You thought we're done with October? It was only the event of the century! I have decided that evening rooftop weddings are my favourite now. (x)

November

Look, idk why I love that shot at the door either. I guess those pants just look great on Niall, sue me. (x)

It's just the vibes of this post in general. Very aesthetic. (x)

December

I'm really happy with the nursery in general, but the pic with Emma in it is my fave. (x)

There's more pictures coming this month that I really love, but I don't wanna give spoilers, so they will be under the cut for now. Will change that once they've been posted.

Context-free pics from upcoming posts that go from "I don't need context to understand" to "what am I even looking at":

My TOP 23 screenshots for 2023

Thanks for tagging me, lovely Alex @ice-creamforbreakfast.

Considering I didn't reappear on the Simblr scene until late March, many of these will be recent shots, but here are some of my personal faves in chronological order!

1. James (with previous hairstyle, and with blanket) and Leona on the rooftop of The Factory. Despite it not being the best pic I ever shot, this post was my "comeback", so it's meaningful to me.

2. The moment Dan and Sadie broke up... Knowing what we know now, this was truly for the best, but I actually cried a little writing this post...

3. Jasper and Eva's Monte Vista wedding dinner.

4. When I built an entire coffeehouse just to shoot that one scene reuniting Esme and Martha.

5. Finn and Sadie giving in to hormones.

6. Luke and Susie's autumn wedding . I particularly liked this picture because of Boy in the background. 🥂

7. Eva expecting. But I mostly loved this picture because this house is my favourite house I ever decorated.

8. Rachel's face when she found out about Finn and Sadie's Friends with Benefits situation.

9. This moment when Joshua had an epiphany... (My heart...)

10. The start of Honeycomb Valley 2.0.

11. Sending Martha home. This one was emotional for me. She had been away for SO long and bringing her home was a big deal for the story but also for me.

12. This reaction of Sadie's when Martha said she and Finn should definitely "study... hard..." 😏

13. Finn confessing his feelings for Sadie to Rachel (which does hurt a bit in light of current events...)

14. This hugely important moment when Joshua was about to come out to his friends. ❤️

15. The date that didn't go to plan...

16. The moment that screwed up my entire flippin' storyline! 😳 The chemistry between these two the moment they got together for this scene totally messed everything up. Thankfully, the story became better because of it. More dramatic, but also better.

17. Phoenix. ❤️‍🔥

18. The dream. I had so much fun setting up this room for this scene. A little secret only one person knows: I actually shot the entire, very NSFW dream scene... In the end, I decided not to share it because at this point, I wanted to keep the tension alive for a while longer. But it was... something... 🫣

19. My dear struggling James who "came close but wrote song lyrics instead..."

20. Release. ❤️❤️❤️

21. That other release. (I could have chosen any picture from these scenes)

22. Rock bottom. And oh, how I felt this... 💔

23. Ending with my absolute favourite shot of the year. 💕

Loved doing this! Tagging @nocturnalazure, @danjaley, @simsaralove, @eljeebee, @dandylion240, @happy-lemon. As always, feel free to ignore.

Top 23 Screenshots for 2023

Tagged by @nitrozem💜 Thank you! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)

I put most of them under a cut because, even though I don't mind it on my dash, idk if everyone feels the same about long posts.

tagging a few lovelies: @kissalopa @keoni-chan @introvertedfox @damseljamsel @illuminated-foxx @memoirsofasim

Feel free to do it if you want to! (˙꒳​˙ ) (If I'm not the first person to tag you all, sorry! My memory on a good day isn't great. (￣▽￣ )ゞ )

1. The loneliest bus stop that I learned from posting this is actually functional!

2. Recreation of one of my very first sims made with the CAS demo; Agent Pierce Connery.

3. Amantius and Hugo on their first vacation trip. Hugo was so thin then compared to now, I forgot. lol

4. Fifi and Priscilla, my Growing Together save while I waited for mod updates. I miss them but they've had some of the cutest kids in my current save.

5. When Amantius set the shower on fire when he tried to magic clean it and all the cats came in to panic in circles around his feet.

6. BABY FERN!

7. Toddler Fern trying to talk to newborn Juniper.

8. Where's the (roast) beef?! (I still think about this and it still bothers me.)

9. Matching buddies!

10. I still don't know how her blow out got both of them.

11. Love Day!

12. When a glitch helped give the best angle for Queen Fern.

13. The baby who didn't want to be held for anything.

14. DANCE PARTY!

15. I did a meme too.

16. 🐸ding ding🐸

17. When they thought it was a good idea to duel.

18. YAMACHAN! (also Rosen is so smol. 🥺)

19. When I was ready to watch Amantius burn to death just to see if he or the chair was on fire.

20. I was just happy with how this turned out. I went through a lot of anguish before I learned how to use wickedwhims to position teen and adult sims with poses.

21. Rosen might be my favorite. (But Juniper is still a strong contestant.)

22. Waffle's face.

23. Their autonomous flirts/kisses melt my heart.🥹

Re: Writing a massive CoD tea post

Disclaimer: I don't often write long posts on tumblr so my formatting may be way off here, so bare with me while I get my footing a bit. The original thread by @jazzybot4 that is (as of 24/7/23), on-going can be found here. This thread will be in response to all three parts, as I'm tired I've watching someone swing behind the genuine belief of misinformation. This post will primarily be in defense of @zyomih, as OP has made several claims against them that are backed up by little more than smoke and mirrors. jazzybot4 makes some points, such as the previous mod team mishandling some aspects of moderation, I won't argue with that; we were a small team that was fit to moderate a smaller server and not one that had over 1k members. However, where they lose me, and a lot of other folks is when they begin pointing the finger at @zyomih and saying that they are a "Generally unpleasant person, howling screaming tantrum throwing anti." who has apparently abused Leech (formerly known as Maggot-- I will more than likely alternate in between their names, as I knew them primarily as Maggot) and is heavily implied to have sent death threats, used a sock puppet to bypass blocks etc, etc. Lets start at the beginning, if you want to see the same handful of screenshots from the original twitter thread that OP reposts in every single part, use the link above. I'm tired of them rehashing the same two-three screenshots for their argument. Zyo's original posts can be found here (1) (2) and I encourage you to give them a thorough read through, and not just a light skim. (2) is where they first mention Leechknot, as can be seen below:

This is, and continues to be their only mention of Leech in the context of this drama. But, still the comments persist that Zyo is apparently disparaging Leech:

(Taken from the first posts comment section-- sort by oldest, and its the second or third response. This was in response to me asking when exactly in the first post they went word-for-word and proved-- anything really.) So lets take a look at their dm list on their main account:

This screenshot is their last interaction, which is dated June 27, 2023 which was the day of the server hand-over. They have exchanged no messages since-- and there are no deleted messages, as then there would be long-stretches where Leech was seemingly talking to themselves. Note: Leeches messages have been blacked out in order to not leak their private dm's. This screenshot was taken 2024/07/23 (Today) and is current with Leech's current profile picture. While I appreciate the faith you have in my friend to juggle several sock accounts to block evade/send death threats, its simply not true. Zyo has always been the type of person to say them directly. Lets make something clear, I'm not saying that Leech isn't receiving death threats at all; but I know for a fact that they aren't coming from Zyo. Yet still, Since you insist on being a pariah of truth and receipts (of which you don't provide yourself the majority of the time) here is their entire dm list from their only alt discord account (The 'Dart' dummy account):

This screenshot is, again, taken from 2024/07/23. The user on the top of the friends list is NOT another alt account, but a mutual friend. Their name has been blacked out for privacy. Something I wanted to highlight is the fact that NEITHER of these screenshots show any evidence of Zyo sending threats or any type of abuse towards Maggot. Moving on to the allegations that Zyo made and the latter half of comments which you ignore. You incorrectly identified what their main issues with the server are, and I'm assuming this is so you could strengthen your stance that Zyo is, for lack of a better term, full of shit.

Screenshot from the third post, and lets actually go line by line since you seem incapable of following the structure of your own posts. 1. "Hosting Illegal Content."-- This claim is made because the server hosts threads that talk, in detail about Rape and Sexual assault. These are not support threads, as it clearly states in the rules that there is no venting channels. There is no sexual assault depicted with these characters in the screenshot below, nor is there within Modern Warfare games with the exception of Ghosts comic backstory.

And, an accompanying list of those who were active within the top thread (Important note: Mod roles are defined by [Sgt.], [Lt.], [Cpt.] and [Cpl.]):

Which shows that mods were active within these threads. You are right, their unacceptable content list is well within the recommended list that Discord provides. However, underage nsfw has been shared there before:

--and that has a mod engaging positively with it. They are lenient when they come to their mod staff and their more well-respected members (AKA, those with a significant following.) An example of this is here, when a member is asked by a mod to not stream a game that may or may not have some SA undertones in it:

Which does imply a bias, which I don't think is fair to ignore. If you're going to base your entire arguement over accusing Zyo of acting in bad faith, its really pertinent to include the whole context, and not just cherry picking what does and doesn't work for your argument. I noticed in all of your posts, you've always neglected to approach the Underage aspect of the accusations. Which are, by the way, prohibited by Discord TOS:

I can hear the argument already, that members of the server are not trying to 'Normalize' child abuse. However, as the definition goes on to state-- "Do not post content or engage in conduct that in any way sexualizes children.... [in] any type of digital creation." Fanfiction, by law does count under digital creation. As well, if you look at the top of the screenshot from Discord, you can see the searching the phrase "Underage" yields about 55 results; if we assume that at least 5 of them are from mods asking for the content not to be there and at least one of them is dedicated to their unacceptable list, then that still leaves 49 instances of where the content was discussed in the server. 2. "Engaging in Censorship and Silencing pro-Palestine Activism."-- Once again, no, Zyo was not commenting on them silencing Pro-Palestine Activism. They stated (And their thread has been unrolled for a neater screenshot, the original can be found here):

Which is referencing this tweet where the mod-team asks @/aquasuperbat to remove their comment that Elliot Knight is a Zionist. Jazzy, you say in your first part that you will get back to these allegations later but you never do-- so for the record, Elliot Knight (Who plays Gaz) actively follows and has liked several pro-Israel posts on his twitter. A source is included above. Considering how exceptionally online most folks who are in fandom spaces are, Jellycakes more than likely went into it with the assumption that the original poster knew this, and still wanted to gush over him anyway. How does this relate back to Zyo though? From an outside perspective, the deletion of the comment made by @/aquasuperbat and the immediate deletion of the comment made by @/recentlydeceased implies that the mods are, in some aspects, uncomfortable talking about these topics. This is well within their right, however I'm not sure how they can adhere to the no-politics rule when they have allowed charity fundraisers for Palestine in their server. Is that not also inherently political? Or is it only against the rules when it goes against someone's favorite character? Musings aside, you also claim that 'Real' Silencing would have been mods outright deleting the comment without asking first. While not completely wrong, this also doesn't actually reflect what social silencing is; Silence Theory suggests that those who think that they hold the majority opinion are more comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions. The mod team is comfortable with expressing that they don't want individuals discussing a current war in their server; their opinion holds the most weight since they are in a position of power; therefore their opinion is the majority. THAT is why the server comes off as being a bunch of Zionists, and why Zyo et al. took issue with the screenshots that were raised. So far, you have done nothing to disprove this fact. Rather your more comfortable with insulting them, calling them names and making baseless threats (ex. Threatening to go to the FBI for death threats Zyo has not made.). You've turned them into the architecture of a villain that you need to have in order to excuse the fact that Leech, for as good as a person as they seemed, still allowed Sexual Assault, Underage and suppressed folks who were Pro-Palestine. You attack their moderation style, for their organizing of a server that they passed along over a year ago. You call them an abuser based on what? Vibes? Because it sure as hell isn't evidence that you've shown-- and if it was as damning as your hyping it up to be, why wouldn't you show the evidence? You have constantly said that these accusations have no weight to them, when in reality it's just showing your lack of reading comprehension when it comes to anything over 100 words. Moreover, your moral posturing is laughable, embarrassing and screams of someone who wants to be the main character of a story that they were on the outskirts for. Take a step back, experience some whimsy in your life and accept the fact that you exist solely in a echo-chamber of people who are confirming your bias. I know you want to defend your friend, I get it, I really do-- I wouldn't be writing out this whole damn post if i didn't, but completing a character assassination on someone whose been mostly inactive in the cod fandom for the last year? Maybe I just don't get it because I haven't been active in the Cod Fandom for a while either, but I don't understand where you get off putting Zyo on blast for every small thing that they have ever done to apparently wrong both you and Leech. Just to reiterate: Zyo hasn't had any contact with Leech for almost a full year. If they wanted to get hateful on main, they would do it from main. They're not going to ban evade and hide behind a dozen different sock puppet accounts just to terrorize the lot of you. That's a significant effort for a dying server with a mod team whose views don't, and will probably never align with ours.

Thank you for tagging me @echomoria @waaneco @yorithesims

今年撮ったあれこれ。tumblerではまだ１月くらいまでしか投稿できてないので（いつもスローペースで…）これからのちょい出しみたいになってます。

今年は配布系は控えてシムの生活重視でプレイさせていただきました。区画も参道とか保育園とか廃墟駅とか…実用性がないものばかり作ってましたね。でも楽しかったですｗｗ

シム達はこもれび旅行に行ったり馬生活を堪能したり、新しい家族がふえたり。来年はシムとどんなことをしようかな(*´з`)

目標としては、子供達を更に一段階成長させて、親たちもそろそろ中年時代を楽しんでもらいたいです！

Thank you @oasislandingresident @frostedshore @waaneco for tagging me!

TBH I'm neither a good sims creator nor a builder (let along make mods) All I'm good at is just record casual scenes here and there. But yeah, good or bad, they bring back so many unforgettable memories. Old gameplays on my old pc bring me joy, new pics taken by reshade show infinite possibilities of sims 3.

Julian Legacy (my second completed legacy)

Clark-Beaudoin Legacy (new legacy on my new pc but on hiatus because i've indulged in landscapes)

And Beautiful Views In The End

I think most simmers have done it. So feel free if you wanna post your amazing stuffs <3

Part 1

I was tagged by @aheathen-conceivably, thanks!

I was stuck in the 1940s for most of this year, but it’s been a long and exciting journey. Thanks for following me and my legacy!

(There will be several parts to this as the Tumblr mobile app does not allow me to add more than 10 photos to a post.)

January- the end of the 30s

February- the month I entered the 1940s

March- lots happened this month!

April- the month of Infants, the month Héctor went away to war…

(Part 2 / Part 3)
