Must be a Sugondese joke.

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also selling my body at every other job i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, working in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex work is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

A set of 42 modern, patterned wallpapers, converted and adapted from two sets by warmthlu.

Volume One features 21 wallpapers, one more than warmthlu designed. A happy accident; the first wallpaper in this set wasn't seamless so, after much fiddling, I decided to redraw the whole pattern from scratch. During this process, I ended up with a calmer, more minimalist wallpaper I loved so much, I wanted to include it, too!

Volume Two has those same 21 wallpapers, but they now feature skirting and cornicing in complimentary shades from my State of Elegance palette. The skirting and cornicing was taken from my new 'Details' set, which is available here.

Included in this set are:

I. 4t2 WARMTHLU WALLPAPERS - VOLUME 1 — Catalog: Build > Wall Coverings > Wallpapers — Price: §4 — Colours: all original 21 colours + 1 additional recolour

II. 4t2 WARMTHLU WALLPAPERS - VOLUME 2 — Catalog: Build > Wall Coverings > Wallpapers — Price: §5 — Colours: all original 21 colours + 1 additional recolour

DETAILS — Credit: warmthlu (here and here). — Descriptions: both volumes feature a description written by me, hinting, as always, at upcoming custom content. This is one of my favourite things to do ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ — Everything has been compressed; the swatch is included in the .zip.

Fast Food Set

When i started to learn conversion, i had something in mind: i wanted to have things that i didnt found easily, and that could be cute/funcional. I really wanted a modern looking fast food restaurant in my game, so the results are this (kinda big) set with build and buy itens, converted mostly by this LittleDica set, and also a few itens from ATS.

Also, this set is an 100th followers gift! Thank you so much for you guys support! Makes me happy think my creations are being useful for someone.

A few thing you must know:

The trash chute is functional, but the animation may have some clips. Same with the toddler high chair and the gargabe can;

There is a high table (not show on this pics), cloned from this bar table, by popcorn . It needs a mod thats already on download files;

Kiosks are decorative, BUT zena-drew-drop build this amazing functional digital menu board and i think they match perfectly with this set;

It has a cute file collection.

I finally learn the repository witchcraft technique. The repo items are identified by a suffix in the file name;

The lot in this post is purely demonstrative, i made for cute pics and its a crap on the inside. Its not include.

Let me know if you have some problem ok?

EDIT: theres a file called "GreasyGoodsBarStool_MESH1" (with a ONE in the end of the file name) on the old folder that i accidentally upload, and it shouldn't be there. Please delete it, it has no connection with this set. I updated the simfile link without it so its ok with you download now

The funniest moment in 3x07 is when Mabel has a breakthrough with the case, and starts pacing as she's theorising, walking away from Theo - who makes this face -

This is the 1000 yard stare of a man who has accepted the fact that Mabel will always keep forgetting that he's deaf.

Every Wall from TS4

Sul Sul!

BOY do I have a BIG set for you; I'm sorry @sims4t2bb for giving you tons of work this week!

This set contains basically every wall from TS4. I have included collection files for you to be able to pop in get the right walls as you see fit.

3796 walls converted,

It is recommended that if you play with my defaulted walls, is to take the defaults out as there will be duplicates, I will update in the future maybe...

It pairs lovely with the entire floor collection that I have made and uploaded and updated previously!

Collection files include floors AND walls (and any items that I have converted and you have in your game so far)

Thanks to @tvickiesims and @platinumaspiration for helping with some walls / floors for some of the sets,

I have included already uploaded walls from the converted sets that I have uploaded. So you will have to delete the duplicates if you have the packs too!

Now time for a break!

This is how the collection files appear!

i'm pretty close to finished with these three camping lots. one is going to be a ranger station, one is a fishing spot/lake to swim in and the other is the actual campsite.

How the lots look on the map is under the cut.

Ava Sliding Door B - 4 Tiles - for The Sims 2

This is a 4to2 conversion from Mincsims, low poly. This door is 4 tiles wide, I made it using as a cloning base the barn door from the Industrial Loft Kit by Lordcrumps. It doesn't have a diagonal version so I made just the standard one (if someone can link me to a 4 tiles door with a digonal version I will be happy to add it afterwards). It comes in 6 colors.

*gently shakes the whump community by the shoulders*

No no no. Stop that. Put down the morality snobbery. Down! Put it down!

We do not get to throw stones at the other harmless weirdos. We are part of the harmless weirdos.

Do not argue! Whump is weird. It's morally neutral and it is weird, like a lot of other morally neutral kinda-gross-to-outsiders weird things, such as, for example, furry fandom. And yes like furry fandom sometimes it's sexual and sometimes it isn't. Both approaches are just as weird and just as fine.

Embrace being weird and don't attack our fellow weirdos. One person's gross torture porn is another person's catharsis.

(We're the weird torture porn fandom we should know this aaaaaaargh)
