Quick Sims Ramble

I know I don’t post sims stuff on my blog (plan to in the future), but I’ve a simmer since 2017 and I’ve got thoughts.

I still remember some cc creators throwing tantrums bc EA threatened to uphold their 2-3 week (14-21 day) rule for paywalls—and proceeded to do absolutely nothing. Many of those posts from back then are still up btw, you can easily see what your favs think of you and how some of them see you as a walking wallet.

Speaking of cc creators and modders crying over money, Curseforge, why do you continue to use it? It’s been months now since that tweet of Overwolf (CF’s owner) explicitly stating they’re donating to the IDF, so I’m gonna assume most of you have had sufficient time to read about it and understand why it’s an issue. Of course, grace is to be afforded to those who are late to the party, but I think it’s crazy to know what they’re doing and willingly continue to support. It’s got to be the money.

The website ugly and janky as hell, too, so it’s GOT to be the money. 😭

And if money is the problem, doing Early Access via Patreon is always an option. Ko-Fi’s an option. Gumroad’s an option. You got options that actually look good, raise your standards, I beg. And there’s free alternatives such as Google Drive, Mega, OneDrive, SimsFileShare; there’s simmers on this platform right now who are willing to give you a SFS code for free. And what about NexusMods? I’ve seen people post their cc and mods there.

Point is, you got options. So, why are you all acting like deleting your content off one gutterbutt platform is gonna bring the end of the world? All you have to do is release it for free after 14-21 days, and if you do so consistently, people will willingly donate money to support you—because you’ll be showing yourself as a reliable content creator who makes good content they like. You can get your money. CF is not the end all, be all of modding platforms.

So, please stop throwing tantrums and giving fifty-leven reasons why you can’t migrate off one platform.

#if you can’t tell i don’t really like the curseforge platform #even when i was getting minecraft mods years ago i thought it was ugly #the new website design is uglier but i digress 🗿#i’m just scrolling through tumblr and tired of seeing modders make excuse after excuse #if you not real just say that #it’s as simple as that #and yes this is in reference to me finding out little ms sam is zionist #zionism ain’t sexy #and it’s not anti-semetic to be anti-zionist #be wise not to conflate the two as many jewish tumblr and twt users have stated a million times before #i would like to specify that i am not jewish #i am black and i am well aware of a genocide when i see one #you cannot claim to be apolitical while continuing to knowingly use a platform that supports/is conducting genocide #especially when you state “personal reasons” as your excuse when you really mean “i want money”#i want money too but you don’t see me turning a blind eye or being complicit to a platform #i’ve retweeted gofundmes and have been keeping up with the news on the matter #even though i don’t post anything on tumblr my friends can confirm and vouch for me that i’ve been pro-palestine based on our discord chats #so my stance on the matter should be very clear and i am not above blocking people #anyways this is developing further away from the original sims topic but i just needed to get some thoughts out #it’s insane seeing people in this community act like cf is the holy grail and they’ll die if they leave #PLEASEEE stand up and get a hold of yourself it’s not the end of the world #respectfully all i’m saying is: get a grip #ts4 #the sims 4 #the sims community #sims discourse
