Coffee Thoughts

Paralives Game really has to make a clear stance about monetizing mods. I bet Alex Massé doesn't want CC for his game sold on sites like MOD Collective. It's a pity it's so silent around this game here on Tumblr.

I looked forward to that nursery kit. But that quality? And given the history of the designer/creator? Nope. Thanks. No more items to choose from for the little ones of goth or vampire sims then. *sighs* Why does anything concerning occults attract those shitty types of creators? Modders and CC creators alike?

Well done EA

Well, it seems my hiatus will last as long as EA needs to fix that 🤬 face bug. No way, I'll put my saves, tray files, and sims back in, only to see CAS destroy them.

Coffee Thoughts

If you're changing every single feature of a sim in a makeover, why don't you make a completely new sim to begin with? Really, I'm tired of makeovers that make premade sims unrecognizable.

"Why is everyone blaming the paywallers?" 🤔

Because they gave EA the fricking idea! 🤬

Because what else if the entire day was shitty already? And then you open Tumblr in the evening to read about yet another shitty person doing shitty things. 🤷‍♀️

Guess who is fed up with all of the shenanigans of sims 4 modders and cc makers. Guess who can't make herself learn how to do it herself. No matter how much she tries.

I'd love to be able to make poses myself. I still want that little mod that makes the books your sims write available for purchase at bookshelves. But does she actually sit down to learn it? Nope. That would need focus, patience, and commitment. But Brain doesn't do that. Brain wants hyperfocus or the novelty of gathering courses and tutorials.

Who the F thought not having a hotline would be a great idea for a mobile phone services provider? I have a problem that could be solved in 5 minutes I guess, if this pissed off inconvenienced old Millenial could call someone. Nope, instead I’ve been waiting for a reply to my email for almost 24 hours now.

^ current mood.

Coffee Rant

While I agree most mods are replaceable by those by another modder, it's hard for players who enjoy playing occults or other means of niche gameplay or cc. Sometimes there's only one modder who makes one specific mod/cc or a set of mods/cc that adds more depth to the gameplay. Or fixes simple stuff like why can't vampires make Plasmapacks from Plasmafruits? If those rare modders turn out to be a shitty person, you're screwed. Because you can't switch so easily. Shouting "so learn how to mod or make cc here's Foxbury/it's easy (TM)" at people then doesn't help. I bet a lot more would dabble in modding if their time, spoons, or energy allowed. Trust me, I want to. But without hyperfocus, it's not going to happen, no matter how often I open a modding tutorial. Oh, I'll read it, but I'll never use that knowledge to actually make something.

So yeah, what to do with this vent, which is probably full of grammar mistakes because I don't give a damn about checking? It's just a vent. I'm annoyed with myself. I have to get this out to not let it stew the whole day while I have to focus on work. I'm annoyed I can only post pretty pictures and write short texts about my Sims. Like all those mentioned modders and CC makers claim, Sims is my escapism from my real life that has been a fucking emotional rollercoaster since 2018. Sims and then Simblr was me-time, as horrible as this community can get. Long story short, I'd love to give back more, help that my fellow occult lovers are less dependent on shitty modders, but I can't. And it makes me furious. Everyone who experiences executive dysfunction knows how frustrating it is to want something but simply can't start doing it. Or start doing it but never finish as soon as the dopamine rush of novelty has died.

Like the Roomie used to say: "It's not that you don't care, you care too much."

What is wrong with Tumblr's latest Android app? Since Christmas I can't see my own new posts. Neither on my dash nor on my blog. Reblogs on the other hand, show up on my blog. Notes and interacting with comments from the notification section work fine. If I choose an earlier post no matter if it's one of my own or a reblog it takes me to an empty page. Although the more like this thumbnails work fine.

The Invites are Gone

Gone. Not claimed. If y'all want to stay on Tumblr so bad, that bends over again and again to family-friendly politics of your favorite phone company's app store and credit card companies, and has your favorite perma-paywalling and doxxing CC makers, so be it. 🤷‍♀️ But if you like to build a new sims community on a platform that's NSFW friendly and community-founded so that it doesn't have to follow some third parties' views on NSFW or LGBTQIA+, drop me a line and I'll gladly provide you with an invite to Pillowfort. With an invite from a Pillowfort member, you don't have to pay the sign-up fee, which helps to keep Pillowfort running btw. too.

(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.

[tiallussims]

Aaah, don’t you love it when pose makers lock about 1/3 to 2/3 of their work behind a permanent Patreon paywall. *grumbles*

[tiallussims]

Why Sims? Why?

Don’t you love it when Sims throws LE’s at you like candy at a German carnival parade the day before and doesn’t even want to start the next day? *angry mumbling with a lot of swearing inbetween* Why now? Ah, I know I finally got the energy to take the first set of screenshots for my pride month mini story. Well, then. I’m going to get the game back running and extend pride month to pride summer. *more swearing about the ecogeddon patch*

Unpopular opinion: Override poses are the worst.

Me: “Sweet sim please sit down on this barstool and have a nice chat with your family.” Sim: “Yes, but first let me pose through an obnoxious long cycle of modeling poses. I don’t care if this cancels every other sims queue.” Other sims: “Oh these barstools look comfy, let me sit down and join the conversation.” Me: “Nooo...” Yet another sim: “Oh, I’m energized let me do some sit-ups...” *poses* Me: “Game! Gimme a break.”

How do I identifiy these kind of poses in S4S so I can delete them once and for all? I can’t remember the name of these posepacks and I have lots of packs so 50/50 would be really tedious.
