(Retro & Vintage) VCR/VHS Set
The Sims 4 is really lacking in the vintage electronics department tbh so here’s a set!
Details & info: This set has 5 items in total:
A VHS machine with 3 swatches; white, gray and black.
A remote control with 3 swatches to match the VHS,
And 2 video cassette tapes!
There’s also a version where the remote & cassettes are stacked on top of and around the VHS. (in case you prefer to have them “all in one”, so to speak).
(Optional) Colorful Pastel & Rainbow recolors of these items can be found HERE.
Both VHS players have slots to place and stack items on top of.
Note(s): These items are purely decorative and don’t actually function as a Video Home System.
Screenshots were taken using shaders, so colors may differ a little bit in-game.
For any questions or requests, leave a comment or ask me anything HERE.
For CC creators wishing to edit my CC, click HERE.
Download for free HERE (SFS) (Updated & Fixed!)*
*2023-10-08 If you've installed these files on or before October 8th 2023 and you've been having issues; delete the old files install the new updated ones. Everything should be working fine.
Oh and if you like these items then do follow me as I have similar stuff coming up!

I am Profoundly excited for Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd.
TL;DR—Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd coming out is very big for me personally, and this is why.
I remember the first time I played a Dragon Age game. The year was 2014, I was obsessed with The Sims 4, and my dad was helping me set something up on my computer. He insisted that we check in Origin, EA’s infamous game launcher, had any free games. That day, the free game was Dragon Age: Origins. Now, when I first played Dragon Age: Origins, I was nine years old and never made it past the Dalish Rouge backstory and tutorial.
That same year, my dad got his prized PlayStation 4. I remember holding the sleek black controller, controlling the second player avatar for Knack, and feeling the haptic feedback for the first time. I was astounded that this was something that was possible with gaming. I felt like I was a part of the world.
At some point, my dad got Dragon Age: Inquisition. I remember him telling me about the hole in the sky that you needed to close, and how that was just the beginning of your story. I was instantly intrigued. I made my first inquisitor, a Dalish Elf Rouge named Lyme, and never got past the tutorial.
Flash forward a couple of years to December of 2018. I’m fourteen, it’s winter break, and three weeks prior I had been dumped. I didn’t know what to do with myself, and so I decided to pick up the PlayStation remote and take on the world I had been thinking about for years but had never had the time—or skill—to explore. That December, I spent hours exploring the Hinterlands, battling dragons on the storm coast, and making alliances. After my first heartbreak, I found solace in Solas, the kind elf who liked my inquisitor—and by extension, me—for my wit and intelligence. January came too soon, and I had to put down the controller and return to the frightening world of middle school.
I changed schools for High School, and the world shut down the spring of my freshman year. I found myself coming back to gaming and fantasy RPG’s to escape the world around me and connect with friends and family. I started playing World of Warcraft with my dad and my friends, and I came back to Inquisition. I moved from the PlayStation to the PC, and I had to start the game over again, but I didn’t mind. It just gave me an excuse to stay in Thedas for longer. My inquisitor, Elvera Levellan, embodied the strength, grit, and intelligence that I needed to channel during such a difficult and confusing time. I found myself falling again for the quiet elf, siding with the mages, and immersing myself in the intrigue of the conflict occurring around me.
Solas was everything I wanted from a boyfriend when I was younger. He was kind, flirted with his wit, kissed passionately, he took things slow, and danced with me at the ball. I was gutted when he left my inquisitor. Years prior I had projected my heartbreak onto him, naively thinking that there was no way this nerdy elf would break my heart. Boy was I wrong.
I finished the base game after one hundred and twenty hours of playtime, and I saved the DLC for hard moments in my life when I needed to return to Thedas. The last time I was in Thedas was in the spring of 2021 when I finished Trespasser. I don’t recall the decisions I made regarding the fate of the Inquisition or who became the divine, but I remember Iron Bull's betrayal, and how my heartache and need to find Solas through the Elluvians mirrored that of my inquisitor. We both needed answers. We both wanted closure. I was angry and hurt and mad at an egg for gods sake.
In my life's most challenging moments, I have looked to Elvera--my inquisitor—for strength to borrow. From getting molds taken of my mouth at the orthodontist (an experience which I hate) to comforting a friend on their deathbed, she has been a source of strength, a suit of armor to don in my most vulnerable moments when I cannot falter. That strength looks different in a dentist's chair and on a deathbed, but It is strength nonetheless.
Needless to say, I am so excited to return to Thedas in thirty days. Every week for the past several years, I had done a quick Google search for “Dragon Age 4”, desperate for news of the next installment. I always felt a pang of disappointment each time I found that there was no news, but I never gave up hope. I delayed travel plans this summer so that I could watch the first gameplay demo with my dad this summer.
The Dragon Age series, and Inquisition in particular hold such a special place in my heart. They were part of my introduction to gaming, and you never forget your first games. They brought me comfort and an escape from the world when I felt as if a hole had been blown in our sky. The characters have lent me strength when I have needed it most.
I cannot wait to create my Rook and explore Tevinter. I can only hope that my inquisitor can finally get the closure that we both need. I am excited to fall in love with Dragon Age and Thedas all over again.

A Timeline of my Feedism
This is inspired by @heavy--feels post!
3-4 years old: I was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh and when he gets stuck in that hole for eating lots of honey. My parents would find me climbing through side table legs and small chair legs to try to recreate it XD Another thing I really liked was the illustrations for the nursery rhyme 'Jack Spratt ate no fat'. It had him and his very very fat wife (looking back she would be considered an ssbbw, she was around 500lbs) illustrated really cutely. To calm me down my parents used to get out that nursery rhyme book because it helped me somehow!
5-7 years old: Started getting annoyed that in Scooby Doo Shaggy never keeps his full round belly. Also I really liked the scenes in Horrid Henry when he kept wanting to go have burgers and for a good six months I kept imagining him getting fat from eating there every day. I really enjoyed the 70s Willy Wonka and used to dream about being Augustus Gloop and of course I wouldn't be silly enough to fall in the chocolate river, I would just live in the garden getting fat off the edible sweetie plants :p I also really loved this comic strip in a beano I think where this football guy got really fat inbetween seasons and he got housebound I think?
8-10 years old: I was full on obsessed with making sims fat, I also got sad there was a limit to how big they got because it wasn't big enough for me! There was also this episode of a bbc show about spies where there were these addictive sausages and everyone got really fat, I got such weird feelings about that episode and it stayed on my mind for YEARS. Strangely the scene from Matilda actually made me upset and now I know its because I'm really turned off by force feeding.
11-14 years old: My obsession with fattening the sims continued! I also found deviantart for the first time and didn't know what to make of the feedist art I ended up stumbling upon. It made me happy sometimes and other times incredibly uncomfortable. I also wrote my first feedist story at about 12, it was about a sumo wrestler (I know nothing about sumo wrestling and it was very badly written) who got fat enough to wrestle the loch ness monster? What a weird imagination I have XD
15-17 years old: At age fifteen I figured out I was both on the ace spectrum and transgender. I would lay awake at night wishing I could be, what I now know to be, a bear. I planned to come out as transmasc at college at age 16 (UK college is vocational and 16 upwards) but I was bullied for being masculine and chubby and my depression responses are loss of appetite so I lost a lot of weight.
18-22 years old: I was in a high control relationship that was subtly abusive and controlling. My partner worked out before I properly did that I was into feedism and explained it to be what I now know to be death feedism which I don't enjoy (another part of my system almost likes it though). This confused me. But because of my dissociative disorder I was happy for a while in this relationship and put a lot of weight on. Around age 20 I worked out what feedism was properly and intentionally gained without letting my partner know that was what I was doing. I also discovered for sure I was demi/greysexual and I had to privately imagine being fed to orgasm. My partner would admonish me if I expressed anything remotely feedism related, even when I didn't know at all what it was. My partner left me and cheated on me for someone who was newly 18 when we were both 22 and my original weight when we met.
22-24 years old: I got into my first true feedist relationship with a wonderful kiwi guy however due to my first relationship's abuse I was constantly having flashbacks and breaking down so I ended the relationship. Despite that, he sent me money when my parents began to abuse me and starve me for my weight. Sadly he has now passed away at the end of 2023. During our relationship we wrote stories about feedism together or suggested ideas to one another. We dreamt of winning the lottery and getting fat together. He wanted to get to 600lbs+. Oh fuck I'm realising while writing this how much the world is missing now he's gone. He would have been a beautiful 600lbs, 700lbs.
25 years old-present day (26): Being pressured and physically made to lose weight meant that I was in and out of the feedist community as I felt and still do feel isolated and excluded for losing weight and not being fat enough. A lot of that was imagined exclusion though not real. Now I'm experimental with polyamory and in a relationship with a sub who is open to anything. They call me their prince and wait on me in our scenes and it feels amazing! Its actually in person! Still it's not their thing so if anyone else wants to serve this prince....

Q&A: Will Wright’s Artificial Intelligence - RollingStone
The king of the Sim Empire talks about 'BattleBots,' hungry ants and how he turns real life into video games
BY DAVID KUSHNER
SEPTEMBER 13, 2001
Will Wright RYAN ANSON/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
FOR THE PAST sixteen years, Will Wright has devoted himself to simulating the ultimate challenge: everyday life. The forty-one-year-old computer-game designer has put players in charge of micromanaging simulated farms, simulated ant hives, simulated cities and, most recently, little Sims themselves — artificially intelligent characters who sleep, eat, work and give back rubs.
The Sims won just about every major game award last year, in addition to selling more than 4 million copies worldwide and grossing more than $170 million. Wright’s gaming successes are due in large part to his fearless pursuit of the mundane: His cities have bad plumbing, his dinners need to get cleaned up and Sims must go to the john. Wright, who’s currently working on an online version of The Sims as well as some highly competitive remote-controlled fighting robots for the TV show BattleBots, hopes his games help people get a fresh view of their own lives. “I like the idea that games can change the player,” he says.
When you’re out and about, you must get people suggesting Sim games to you all the time.
You can’t imagine.
Any ideas stand out?
Sim Shopping Mall — that one had, like, fifteen types of people you’d see in the mall. It all had to do with teenagers and old people. It was pretty funny.
You’ve been competing in BattleBot tournaments lately. How’s that going?
Well, I’ve got this one I’m building now that’s going to be killer. It’s about halfway built, but I don’t want to name it until I’m done.
I’ve built a bunch of them so far. The first one was called Julie Bot. It had this talking doll’s head on the top — this was for the very first Robot Wars, and it won the lightweight division. The second year I did Kiddy Puff Puff, which wrapped the other robots in tape — that one won the middleweight melee. My daughter does robots, too; she made a Chia Bot. It didn’t do too well. It got flipped over, but it put up a good fight….
Pretty destructive compared to your games.
Yeah, but it’s really much more of a social thing. You get to meet a bunch of cool people who are strange like you. But it is cool for the robots to go in and beat the crap out of each other, too.
What kind of kid were you?
I was always building things: models, little inventions, airplanes, tanks, ships, then robots. The first robot I built was a little hydraulic arm made entirely out of injection syringes. I was probably about thirteen. A friend of mine talked me into buying a computer to run my robots, and that’s how I got interested in games.
What interested you about computer games?
What fascinates me is the ability to have a microworld inside this little box, a world that has its own rules and physics that you can interact with. The first game I made was one where you flew around and blew things up. I had to create little islands you were flying over. I was finding that to be much more fun than the blowing-them-up part. I thought it’d be cool if I could actually bring these little islands to life.
Why simulate real life?
In some sense, the computer can be thought of as an elaborate mirror when you’re running simulations on it. It’s not a perfect mirror, but, depending on the situation, you can exaggerate reality, distort reality, fast-forward through time or replay things over and over until you get them right. For me, it’s a new way of interacting with the world.
What influenced the development of The Sims?
It was the intersection of a few ideas: the work of urban planner/architect Christopher Alexander, who looked at how environmental design influences our behavior, and the behavioral modeling I learned from doing my game Sim Ant.
So humans don’t behave that differently from ants?
Surprisingly, I found that they weren’t that different [laughs]. In The Sims, if a character is hungry it will go near the strongest hunger source: the fridge, the barbecue. Ants do this, too. There was also another influence for The Sims: I started getting interested in time studies, where researchers try to map out how you spend every minute of your day. The results are fascinating.
In your games, people spend their time doing pretty ordinary things. How important is banality in your games?
In some sense, that’s what really drives the player’s ownership [of The Sims]. When you’ve laid every little water pipe or spent every hour of that guy’s life so far on your computer, you’re really responsible, and you can start empathizing a lot more with the city or the person. Things become so dependent on you that the whole gaming experience can become very guilt-driven. When this guy loses his job, for the most part, it’s your fault. If you’re dealing with The Sims in this mundane day-to-day life, then the epic victories are things very familiar — getting married, having a kid or getting a promotion — as opposed to defeating the evil empire in some other game.
How has developing all these Sim games affected the way you view the world?
I spend a lot of time looking for patterns. When we design simulations, “we’re trying to compress this huge data of reality into a few elegant algorithms. That’s also the path we typically take toward understanding the world around us: What’s the simplest explanation for this?
How about making Sim Game Developer?
I don’t think that would be nearly as fun as most people think [laughs].

Can eSIM Be Hacked? Security Features You Should Know
The demand for embedded SIMs, particularly when travelling abroad, is growing with the deployment of eSIM technology. A traditional SIM card is provided by eSIM, which is built directly into your device, allowing you to easily switch networks or add new ones without ever needing to change the SIM cards manually.
But this growing trend raises questions concerning security: is it possible to hack an eSIM? Is it advisable for people who depend on staying connected while visiting foreign countries? This guide examines precisely these issues of eSIM security, describing key features that are necessary and useful and considering how best travel insurance services can assist in alleviating worries about security threats.
How Secure Are eSIMs?
1. eSIM Security and Data Protection
In order to safeguard users from various attacks, including cloning and illegal access, eSIMs were built with many strong security precautions. eSIMs, as opposed to their predecessors, which are movable SIMs, are embedded into devices and possess a range of protective aspects due to their structural software, which includes encryption and multi-factor authentication. While using Zetexa, travellers and business clients have a trusted partner who takes care of all their security concerns and more during their travels.
2. Authentication Process and Encryption
An eSIM uses a sophisticated authentication method where devices and networks subject each other to verification before a connection is forged. This verification helps prevent many kinds of attacks since only valid and signed connections are established:
Encrypted Connections: The eSIMs encrypt documents while being transmitted from one device to the network, and the communications are between devices. This makes it very hard for criminals to eavesdrop on or alter your communications.
Remote Provisioning: The ability to provide eSIM profiles via the internet lowers the threat of physical interference, for there is no chip to be exposed and accessed by the marauders.
3. Protection Against SIM Swapping
Cyber Assault, which is quite common in the mobile industry, known as sim swapping, sometimes requires social engineering whereby the network carrier is deceived into changing the victim’s phone number to another sim. In the case of eSIM, remote provisioning and enhanced identification poses an obstruction to such attacks.
To anyone seeking additional insurance while on the move, it is advisable to purchase the best travel insurance available. Providers such as Zetexa will help to ensure that assistance will be available if one encounters network problems, attacks or even a connectivity or device management problem.
4. Remote Profile Management
eSIM profiles are remotely managed, therefore, the control and monitoring make it more secure. Users do not have to go to the carrier store to add, delete or update a profile, thus reducing possible vulnerabilities. Profiles can also be wiped if the device is lost or stolen, thereby reducing possible data misuse.
Zetexa goes a notch higher to offer users who switch profiles in other countries to avoid vulnerabilities that may come with switching profiles.
Possible Risks to eSIM Security
No system is risk-free, and eSIMs offer a considerable level of protection. It is essential to figure out the risks which may exist within the system and engage in protective measures. This is particularly important for people using their eSIM in risky situations: business travellers or digital nomads.
1. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks
MITM attacks take place in instances where two parties are communicating, and a hacker steps in between them to access information meant for them. The risk of this type of attack is diminished quite significantly due to encryption. However, users can be vulnerable to open and unsecured wifi networks. To prevent this, travellers attempting to access sensitive information over public networks should not do it but instead should consider switching to a VPN.
2. Device Hacking and Malware
There is good news that eSIM profiles can be said to have good protection, but device level security enhances eSIM safety. If there is malware or spyware on a device, it can leak personal information or eSIM data into the wild.
Due to this reason, many travellers on the go tend to secure travel insurance such as Zetexa or others that have device protection. Zetexa matrix secures undiagnosed situations such as potential data cracking or hacking and facilitates professional help in covering essential information on the go.
3. Network-Based Threats
Being in new areas utilising local networks comes with exposure to network-based threats, especially in places where the security parameters are not standard. Theoretically, attackers would seek to manoeuvre carrier networks’ weaknesses as potential areas of attack. And while this is highly improbable, these risks emphasise the need to only source eSIM profiles from trusted suppliers and to avoid unknown networks.
The good way to handle such risks is to add the best travel insurance to your toolkit, especially if you are making use of eSIMs in places where the network security standard is not that robust. Firms like Zetexa are best placed to offer global support and even network security hints in areas where the risk is very high.
Steps to Enhance eSIM Security on Your Device
You can adopt additional measures to protect devices and data in order to further increase the protection offered by eSIMs. Here are some actionable tips that you can use to your advantage:
1. Keep Your Device Updated
Device makers, including hardware and software, release regular software updates or patches that help to seal any potential security holes that give hackers a chance to breach the system. This is one of the most painless and most impactful cyber defence measures against eSIM threats, always ensure that the OS, as well as the security software installed in your device, is up to date.
2. Enable Device Authentication
Using biometric features such as fingerprint locks or even facial recognition on your device coupled with strong PIN codes set on your eSIM profile makes it difficult for any unauthorised persons to tamper with your device or make any alteration to the eSIM profile.
3. Avoid Public Wi-Fi Networks
Public Wi-Fi is very risky in terms of being hacked and is easily attacked via a range of cyber to quite a wide range. If you have to use public Wi-Fi, make sure to use a reliable Virtual Private Network (VPN) such as NordVPN when using public networks to make sure your data is not intercepted. Also, travel insurance plans like those from Zetexa can assist you in an emergency if you think a hostile network has attacked you while travelling. They guarantee immediate action and assistance when in new places.
4. Download eSIM Profiles from Trusted Sources Only
Do not forget to select your eSIM provider very carefully. Remember, there are untrustworthy ones who can ruin your device. eSIM profile should be downloaded only from genuine carriers or their affiliate online stores.
5. Use Travel Insurance for Comprehensive Protection
Frequent travellers or business users can relax by subscribing to a comprehensive travel insurance provider like Zetexa. This cover provides help with connectivity problems, theft of a device, and network attacks. Also, coverage from the best travel insurance provider will help when there are device problems and security threats while one is in other countries.
Conclusion
eSIM technology is particularly suitable for travellers and people working remotely as it is a secure solution that provides advanced features for protecting personal data. Furthermore, with encryption, authentication protocols, and the ability to manage eSIMs from anywhere, eSIMs are reasonably effective against modern cyber threats. That said, it is important to stay vigilant and be aware of possible weaknesses such as limited device vulnerability.
In the same manner, incorporating the best travel insurance into the travel habit offers additional peace of mind, knowing there will be assistance in the event of any technical problems or loss of connectivity. As a travel insurance company, Zetexa is a specialist in offering device insurance, which guarantees that irrespective of where you are in the world, your connection will remain secure. Zetexa and the travel insurance options will enable a frequent traveller or a curious mind to consider the opportunities of eSIM technology to stay connected in a safe manner.
