Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since we last connected. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for all the love and support you've shown for my book. When I first started writing it, I never imagined that people would still be reading and enjoying it today, despite its initial flaws. It's truly heartwarming.

Life has a way of getting in the middle of our plans, and I ended up taking a long break from writing. However, I want you all to know that I am now back and fully committed to this project. I understand that in the past, I've made promises to return and failed to follow through. But this time, I genuinely mean it.

My writing has improved more than this and I want to be a director so the best way to improve my craft is to write every day. With that being said, my fanfic roster so bad is this

parent scenarios update

Todoroki or Iida story - Vote here

Bakugo Prnstar update

Hawks story update

Maybe an Aizawa story

Gojo or nanami

Running The Sims 4 Folder from an External Drive.

If you are a Mac player like me, you are most likely running out of space or are currently completely out of space.

This is how I moved The Sims 4 (TS4) from my computer to an external hard drive.

Some users are able to drag and drop the Electronic Arts folder to the drive, I however was not.

⛔️ WARNING

Entering incorrect commands into Terminal can have severe consequences both for the stability of your operating system and your data. You should only follow these instructions if you are comfortable using Terminal and have a solid backup of your system.

If anything goes completely wrong you can always wipe and reinstall your macOS through Internet Recovery or bootable installer (advanced option) but you WILL lose all your data.

I am using WD - My Passport Ultra for Mac 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive from BestBuy

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I highly suggest reading the entire post before making any changes.

NOTE: These instructions move the ENTIRE Electronic Arts (EA) folder to the external drive. Any game you have installed and stores data in the EA folder will need to have the external drive plugged in to be accessed. This includes Sims 3, Sims Medieval, Sims 4, Sims 4 Legacy Edition and any other game folders in your EA folder.

As a good measure, backup your EA folder to a separate external drive or cloud storage.

Plug in your external storage device and check it is properly mounted in Finder or on your Desktop. Tech & Design on YouTube has an easy to follow step by step walkthrough on how to set up your external drive for Mac. ➡️ Here.

Step 1 – Moving the Electronic Arts folder to the external drive:

First - You have to tell your Mac to move the EA folder from the Documents folder to the external drive. To do so, open any text document and copy and paste the following command into the document.

(mv means move and the tilde “~”indicates your home directory) This is purely for editing purposes:

mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/USB/

Replace USB with the name of your external drive. For example, if your external is called EXTERNAL the command would be:

mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/EXTERNAL/

However, if your external is called EXTERNAL DRIVE you have to introduce backslashes before the spaces in the name (like Electronic Arts in the Documents folder):

mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/EXTERNAL\ DRIVE/

To show where the spaces are, a black X in the command below (for visual purposes only):

mvX~/Documents/Electronic\XArtsX/Volumes/EXTERNAL\XDRIVE/

IMPORTANT: Note that the directory file paths are separated with forward slashes / and file and folder names with multiple words are separated with backslashes \ .

If your EA folder is within another folder on the external you must state this clearly in the command. For example, if your EXTERNAL DRIVE has a folder called Game User Data and you would like the Electronic Arts folder to be within this folder the command would look like this:

mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/EXTERNAL\ DRIVE/Game\ User\ Data/

and with the black X denoting the spaces:

mvX~/Documents/Electronic\XArtsX/Volumes/EXTERNAL\XDRIVE/Game\XUser\XData/

Once you are happy with the command, open Terminal and copy and paste it from the text document into the Terminal window so it looks like this but with your own information. If it is highlighted black just press the right arrow on your keyboard to move the cursor to the end of the line:

Hit enter/return to execute the command. Your EA folder should have moved from your Documents folder to your external drive. Open the Documents folder to check and open a second Finder window showing the external drive.

Step 2 – Creating the symlink for the Electronic Arts folder:

Copy the following command into your text document:

ln -s /Volumes/USB/Electronic\ Arts ~/Documents/

replacing USB with your external drive name and paying attention to the forward and back slashes and spaces. If we use the same example as before with the EXTERNAL DRIVE > Game User Data file paths and names this would be the result:

ln -s /Volumes/EXTERNAL\ DRIVE/Game\ User\ Data/Electronic\ Arts ~/Documents/

and with the black X denoting the spaces:

lnX-sX/Volumes/EXTERNAL\XDRIVE/Game\XUser\XData/Electronic\XArtsX~/Documents/

Once you are done with the command, open Terminal and copy and paste it from the text document into the Terminal window so it looks like this but with your own information. If it is highlighted black just press the right arrow on your keyboard to move the cursor to the end of the line:

Hit enter to execute the command. An Electronic Arts folder will appear in your local Documents folder as an alias with a little arrow in the bottom left corner:

The actual Electronic Arts folder is still safe on the external drive (The game is also installed on the external, ignore the app in the image below):

Step 3 – Launch your game:

Launch the game as you would normally. There should be no notice difference, you should be able to pick up where you last saved the game. There may be extended loading, but as a Mac player, we are use to it.

You will also have to change the installation path on Origin, this allows any updates and new packs/ kits you purchase to be downloaded on your external drive.

A super helpful step by step guide ➡️ Here.

Happy Simming!

What I’m Playing…

I recently started “Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion” and “Cat Quest.” “Turnip Boy” was just a cute puzzle game until it went dark. 🫣 “Cat Quest” is an adorable RPG. They’re both short games and I should be finished with both soon and then I can lose myself in FFXVI! 😂

We OUTSIDE! I was invited to my girl Shayla’s new sim. I used to live on Fakrava island w Wav for so long, its cool to see what new things she got going on. I always got to brace myself for the fkery on her side of the dancery that is the SL Grid because wow. LMAO. This pic is my exact reaction to this message.  Exhibit A below

*Shayla has always been dope ally shes fired people who were wylin’ towards me before but thats a story for another time! lol I don’t consider this message discrimination , its def something, its just funny af.

Sooo since my rl bday was kinda low vibes for me, my SL parents spent some time with me and my Dad Ras pulled out his boat for a special excursion! I LOVE exploring SL. Ill go anywhere and have so much fun discovering what people make it brings me so much joy. We got to sail seas that i’ve never seen to a secret beach I never been to before! I was gifted a legit wind surfer and went crazy on the waves while we anchored in this beautiful cove. Pops played some dramatic music the whole time it was pretty epic. I definitely count this day as one of my top best days on SL ever hands down. & I have been here 12 yrs now! Wowza

We also had a dope meeting at Meroe with the team right after. It was cool just to have this fulfilling day and get grounded with my SL life. Everything feels like its back in motion and flowing and all the things I desire, are coming towards me because I finally feel my frequency shifted, with all the inner work I been doing. Its finally payin off! Alhamdoulilah!

I gotta add in, this last minute trip we did to Taj Mahal. It was stunning they def need to make a more permanent version of it! Absolutely impressed by the realism of it I even felt the need to cover up when approaching because it felt too real , there were actual prayers in the walls like im assuming the real place has. So incredible! I am grateful for my SL family, and our lil trips haha.

creepy ass grin lololol, visiting here with them reminded me of my RL growing up I loved visiting historic sites, and immersing myself in the reenactments and imagining what it felt like and who walked and lived in those spaces.

Its actually a form of psychic gift to be able to transport yourself in that way. Or call forth those visions that remain from the energetic imprints on the space. I digres... lol

In the gaming industry, allegations of discrimination have recently come to light, with Sweet Baby Inc. and its involvement in the creation of Forspoken at the center of controversy. Let's delve into the details of this unfolding saga, exploring the accusations, the role of Black Girl Gamers, and the broader implications for diversity and inclusion in gaming. The Sweet Baby Inc Scandal: Unveiling Discriminatory Hiring Practices Recent revelations have cast a shadow over Sweet Baby Inc., a prominent player in the gaming industry, as accusations of discrimination in hiring practices surface.

Additionally, Black Girl Gamers' hiring practices have come under scrutiny, with accusations of discrimination surfacing in response to their search for a black female Dungeons & Dragons content creator. Understanding Colorism and Texturism: Implications for Representation Colorism and textures are forms of discrimination that disproportionately affect individuals with darker skin tones and coarser hair textures, respectively. In the context of gaming, addressing these issues is crucial for promoting diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that all players feel represented and valued within virtual worlds. By consulting with organizations like Black Girl Gamers, game developers have the opportunity to incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences into their projects, fostering a more inclusive gaming landscape. Navigating the Fallout: Addressing Accusations and Moving Forward As accusations of discrimination continue to reverberate throughout the gaming community, industry stakeholders need to acknowledge and address these concerns head-on. By fostering open dialogue, implementing transparent hiring practices, and prioritizing diversity and inclusion initiatives, companies can work towards creating a gaming environment that celebrates the richness of the human experience and embraces players of all backgrounds. Only through collective action and commitment to change can the gaming industry truly evolve into a more equitable and inclusive space. FAQs: Q: What allegations have been made against Sweet Baby Inc. regarding their involvement in Forspoken? A: Sweet Baby Inc. has been accused of implementing the Forspoken agenda and targeting Dungeons & Dragons, leading to allegations of discriminatory hiring practices and controversy within the gaming community. Q: What role did Black Girl Gamers play in the creation of Forspoken, and why has their involvement sparked controversy?

Have you ever heard of the blackgirlgamers sub Reddit? No one knows for sure why it was banned but it was during the time when Reddit was banning every “non inclusive” sub reddits. The girlgamers subreddit is still there but it has so many tims. I don’t know if you watch gaming/league competitions but the “women’s” team is always 70% male. Or when you look up girl gamers on twitch it’s a bunch of tims. It s hard out her for girl gamers. Everyone always talks about how they’ve infiltrated women’s sports but forget that are taking over women’s esports and gaming too. (What little esports and gaming women had to start with)

I'm a very casual video game player and only watch Super Smash and Pokemon competitions lol but even in those I've noticed the saturation of TIMs. In fact a friend just sent me a seemingly innocuous article about the first female protagonist from the Pokemon games in the 90s only for it to detail how important she was for trans women actually 🙄 Wouldn't be shocked to find the "former" Gamergate incels and transbians Venn diagram to be a circle.

I've never heard of the sub but considering how especially pissy these men get when Black women don't kowtow perfectly I'm also not shocked it got taken down in the mass transphobia ban

I would be more than a casual player like I was as a teenager if it weren't for misogyny. I could be decent at Pokemon if I tried my highest ranking on Showdown is 1600 lol

Hey, I’m Beans and I have been playing The Sims since ‘02.

I originally played PC, but I am currently a MAC player and have been for the past 10-ish years.

(I know stop yelling, MaCs ArEnT mAdE fOr GaMiNg. We know, and when know that’s why our fan sounds like a 747 in flight.)

It’s difficult to find help when you are a Mac player, so I’m just sharing what I’ve learned throughout the years to help with your game play.

[videogamesincolor]

I remain firmly convinced and very comfortable with the idea that Black folks within hobby spaces (fanspaces or the gaming community) need and should foster community spaces dedicated exclusively to them on and offline. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

This esp important for Black women/femmes across the spectrum, who are frequent targets of harassment campaigns and antiblackness within so-called hobby spaces that constantly call themselves "open" and "welcome" to everyone.

BlackGirlGamers is one of the few Black-centric spaces online that I know explicitly enforcing that boundary. They don't try to make a space they built for Black women "a space for everybody", and even boot out Black women who uphold damaging isms. So, yeah, I'm glad to hear folks are getting put in their place when they try to cross explicit boundaries.

Y'all don't get to decide that you're invited into a space that deliberately excludes you because you don't know how to act in the open space you have when Black folks inhabit it.
