🗺️ Where’s Waldo Hats 🗺️

I wanted to put a Waldo in my game as detailed in @dizzyrobinsims post that you can read here.

I couldn’t find a hat for him so I made a couple. They work for AM & AF sims. I love things that make people happy, and dizzyrobin’s Wally post made a lot of people happy so I wanted to make sure I shared these with all the people who wanted to make a Wally to spot in their game.

Decades Challenge Gen 4!

Savannah just passed away in my game which means it’s time for a sentimental review of my Gen 4 sims, Tom and Savannah!

They were born during WW2 and, Savannah at least, lived until the 2000s

More photos under the cut

Here is Tom as a teen in the ‘50s! I don’t have a lot of pictures of him as an adult because I tried fitting all of university into 1 week for him and it was A LOT.

He went for a degree related to rocket science, met Savannah (who was going for culinary) and eventually proposed to her in the late 60s.

Fun fact: Savannah was 1 of 2 female sims in the game that were the same age as Tom (not counting randomly generated sims bc I was not including them in the challenge at this point). WW1 fucked up my game’s population real bad! I played modified rules where you include every male sim in the drafting rules, not just your own family. The drama was great but the consequences! There was a whole generation with way less kids and they had like, no girls!!

Any who, Tom and Savanah got married but then, per the rules for the challenge (though I think I bent it a bit for uni) he got drafted into the Vietnam war and died.

Savannah was a single Mom who was a head chef, eventually owning a very successful restaurant.

Here is her and her brother Waldo (still in the 60s)

And her in the ‘70s with her son, Michael

She met her best friend Stacy through a painting club, and she introduced Savannah to Quinton, who she eventually married.

1970s wedding dresses were...interesting. And a challenge. I wish I’d found better attire for Quinton too but oh well! They were such a happy couple!!

Here they are again in the 80s

And Savannah and Waldo in the 80s

Did I mention Savannah got stinking rich? Because she did. First time I haven’t had to worry about bills in the game. The 80s was fun.

And then lastly, here she is in the 2000s with an all-grown-up Michael

They were very close! I’m sad she didn’t live long enough to see grand-kids (it’ll be awhile before Michael and his partner are ready to adopt). I guess she was in her 60s when she died, which seems too young. This game is really inconsistent with how long elders live.

She was the most sociable sim I had played in this challenge (other than Michael, who is about the same as her!). She had so many friends and club activities. I’m sad to see her go!

[murfeelee]

I just want to speak my piece and voice my hopes & concerns about the ideas for a new Sims Networking site.

Disclaimer: Despite the length of this long effing post, I know absolutely nothing about creating a website, or hosting, servers, or anything like that.

In light of Tumblr’s clear and present determination to kill its own website, many ideas are being proposed about The Sims community starting its own website. This would be a safe haven for simmers, where we can all share our content without fear of overzealous censorship and nefarious politico-economic stunts and power-plays.

Having different simmers presenting different platforms and ideas about how to get a simming network started is great, and I support anyone who pitches an idea. I don’t care who figures it out, just as long as someone does, and it’s good. But at this critical point and time what the community really needs is to not be splintered -- that’s what the problem is: that when Tumblr internally combusts we’ll all mass exodus and go our separate ways (to LJ/DW, Twitter, Blogspot, WP, etc), and we won’t all be in one place anymore. :(

There’s nothing wrong with having multiple simming networks, and having a selection of simmers-only social media outlets, not at all. We do that already, with sites like TSR & MTS, etc, that embrace content from ALL the sims games (1-4, etc), but where different preferences/standards/visions naturally lead to different websites doing their own thing separately.

But I think it’s time we as a community had one main home.

IMO, ideally, it would be one that functions like Tumblr did -- just Better and More Positive. ;) It would not be moderated by admins like the other sims sites, and instead the site runners would be there strictly for site support and maintenance. We’ve been moderating the simblr side of Tumblr all these years pretty okay -- aside from the abuse/neglect of the Tags (which I hope we could come to a more unified system with on a new site).

The new site could have all the image uploading/storage and other features we enjoy (Follows, Reblogs, Likes, Comments, IM, etc) but possibly even with an additional forum aspect, with rich text text threads & private messaging, etc. Is that at all possible?

The forum half of the site could have moderators, if only to keep the threads organized, but there would be none of that censoring crap that gets users warned/banned over stupidness like language, adult content, or my personal favorite: filesharing (especially when cc users rely on WCIFs and reuploaders to share content from dead sites and creators who delete their content for one reason or another).

I’d also love to see a return of more community events:

more Simblreen-like photo prompts & challenges for other holidays & seasons

more creative contests (like the one recreating real movie posters as sims images to get featured as new cc)

more visibility for machinimas (those mofos work HARD)

the return of sims magazines for fashion & builders & whatnot

Age and Adult Content Restrictions

The Sims is a borderline Teen/Everyone/Mature-rated game. It’s got sex and violence and crude humor and weirdness that isn’t really suitable for little kids. It's at each parent’s discretion what their kids are exposed to, but most simmers are either in their teens or older (I haven’t come across any 7 year olds playing this crazy game, at least.) As such, I don’t feel this new site should be censoring/blocking adult content and nsfw. Let the tags do their jobs -- even implement a Safe Mode & parental controls if you have to.

When it comes to what the age restrictions are, can’t y’all just have a captcha or one of those buttons you click that says you’re 13+ or whatever the age needs to be? And there are pretty cool captchas out there, too -- we don’t need something as crazy as what Thaithesims had (for those of y’all who don’t know, it was freaking nuts, trust), but there are others that ask a simple math question, or makes you to click the picture of the vegetable, or some Where’s Waldo looking thing to find all the bicycles or whatever the heck. Y’all’ve seen them, I don’t know.

Again, I don’t even know what goes into making a website, and determining what it can & cant support -- or AFFORD.

And that brings me to Money:

While it’s so exciting and heartening to see different ideas coming out now, honestly, it’s not gonna work when all y’all are all asking for money and donations. That’ll have us scrambling to fund & invest in a million different people’s ideas, until someone gets a site working that we’ll actually use.

Of course we know money is THE issue, and of course websites are Expensive AF™. But it would be more realistic for all y'all to get a site up and running, have us use it and test it out, and once the community gives it our seal of approval, then start doing donation drives to keep the site/servers funded. That’s the way fan-made ad-free sites with adult content like Archive Of Our Own do it; I’ve been subscribed there for years, and they make $100k+ every drive, it’s amazing. Sites like Wikipedia & the Wayback Machine no doubt make more. (Didn’t SimFileShare fund itself to get started? They use ads, though, which might force adult content restrictions like what’s happening with Tumblr.)

I wish I had the disposable income to give to ANY of these fantastic websites that I know and love, just to show my appreciation, but I’m dirt poor, so.... But I just feel that it really shouldn’t be up to users to fund free websites, because that’s hardly better than having to pay for subscriptions to join paid sites. I don’t even like pay for CC, or DLC, or even video games at full price. So any bid for money makes me suck my teeth a bit, frankly speaking.

In Closing:

The Sims community deserves its own space, to freely express ourselves.

The Sims is unique from any other game ever made, because simmers create the stories, simmers create the content, and simmers create the gameplay -- it’s not a linear pre-determined storyline, but a more or less open-ended open-world mechanism by which the gamer decides (and can create) everything from the characters to the plots to the locations.

We’re not just posting pictures on the official forums of our customized Lara, Shepard, Geralt, Arthur Morgan or whoever beating a level or discovering a hidden location. No. We’re creating our own characters and worlds and directives, and sharing art through images, storytelling, and custom content. And we’re sharing a bit of ourselves in the process.

Tumblr used to be the one place we could rely on to embrace our individuality, freedom of speech, agency, expression, and be part of a community that supported us and our content. I don’t want the Sims community to be fractured, and certainly not die out. Y’all have been like family to me, for the 5 years I’ve been on Tumblr, and for almost a whole decade now in the online Sims community -- 2019 will make it 10 years (which is a lot, for an antisocial psychopath like me). If Tumblr fails us, I won’t know where else to go, and it really saddens me. The Sims is a Lifestyle.

So I really hope y’all movers and shakers out there who know about web development can come together, figure things out together, and create a Better, More Positive space for us to enjoy playing and sharing our love of The Sims games.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

Things to consider when choosing Luggage Trackers

- Tracking Technology – GSM vs GPS vs Bluetooth - Tracking Range - Size - Battery Type & Life - Durability - Versatility - Smart Phone App - Subscription Fees - Flight Safe Modes - Price

  Final Thoughts: Which Luggage Tracker is right for me?

Having the best luggage tracker in your bag can save you the trouble of wasting your vacation searching for your bags in case they get lost. Each of the luggage trackers reviewed above offer unique advantages, although some are obviously better. Since I like travelling a lot I have tested most of them. Simple Bluetooth trackers like Tile and TrackR can only show you where your bag is when it is within 100ft Bluetooth range, or rely on other users having their app open. I liked the Spytech for its versatility due its variety of features as it can be used for luggage, purses, keys, cars, and countless other types of valuable items, however, I am torn between these three trackers: LugLoc, Trackimo and Trackdot. Gego LugLoc works everywhere (indoor and outdoor) and lets you focus on what’s important; enjoying your trips, relaxing and ensures you rest easy knowing where your bags are at all times. Trackimo has a collection of trackers which seem to work really well. Online review indicates its a trustworthy product even though we haven't tested it. I am dieing to get my hands on one of this to explore its capabilities firsthand. Trackdot is decidedly the best luggage tracker as it uses GSM technology, has global access with an easy to use smart phone app. The Lite version has a built-in rechargeable battery making it superior to other trackers and it's also airline approved. It is our best pick.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

Things to consider when choosing Luggage Trackers

- Tracking Technology – GSM vs GPS vs Bluetooth - Tracking Range - Size - Battery Type & Life - Durability - Versatility - Smart Phone App - Subscription Fees - Flight Safe Modes - Price

  Final Thoughts: Which Luggage Tracker is right for me?

Having the best luggage tracker in your bag can save you the trouble of wasting your vacation searching for your bags in case they get lost. Each of the luggage trackers reviewed above offer unique advantages, although some are obviously better. Since I like travelling a lot I have tested most of them. Simple Bluetooth trackers like Tile and TrackR can only show you where your bag is when it is within 100ft Bluetooth range, or rely on other users having their app open. I liked the Spytech for its versatility due its variety of features as it can be used for luggage, purses, keys, cars, and countless other types of valuable items, however, I am torn between these three trackers: LugLoc, Trackimo and Trackdot. Gego LugLoc works everywhere (indoor and outdoor) and lets you focus on what’s important; enjoying your trips, relaxing and ensures you rest easy knowing where your bags are at all times. Trackimo has a collection of trackers which seem to work really well. Online review indicates its a trustworthy product even though we haven't tested it. I am dieing to get my hands on one of this to explore its capabilities firsthand. Trackdot is decidedly the best luggage tracker as it uses GSM technology, has global access with an easy to use smart phone app. The Lite version has a built-in rechargeable battery making it superior to other trackers and it's also airline approved. It is our best pick.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

  Final Thoughts: Which Luggage Tracker is right for me?

Having the best luggage tracker in your bag can save you the trouble of wasting your vacation searching for your bags in case they get lost. Each of the luggage trackers reviewed above offer unique advantages, although some are obviously better. Since I like travelling a lot I have tested most of them. Simple Bluetooth trackers like Tile and TrackR can only show you where your bag is when it is within 100ft Bluetooth range, or rely on other users having their app open. I liked the Spytech for its versatility due its variety of features as it can be used for luggage, purses, keys, cars, and countless other types of valuable items, however, I am torn between these three trackers: LugLoc, Trackimo and Trackdot. Gego LugLoc works everywhere (indoor and outdoor) and lets you focus on what’s important; enjoying your trips, relaxing and ensures you rest easy knowing where your bags are at all times. Trackimo has a collection of trackers which seem to work really well. Online review indicates its a trustworthy product even though we haven't tested it. I am dieing to get my hands on one of this to explore its capabilities firsthand. Trackdot is decidedly the best luggage tracker as it uses GSM technology, has global access with an easy to use smart phone app. The Lite version has a built-in rechargeable battery making it superior to other trackers and it's also airline approved. It is our best pick.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

Things to consider when choosing Luggage Trackers

- Tracking Technology – GSM vs GPS vs Bluetooth - Tracking Range - Size - Battery Type & Life - Durability - Versatility - Smart Phone App - Subscription Fees - Flight Safe Modes - Price

Each of the luggage trackers reviewed above offer unique advantages, although some are obviously better. Since I like travelling a lot I have tested most of them. Simple Bluetooth trackers like Tile and TrackR can only show you where your bag is when it is within 100ft Bluetooth range, or rely on other users having their app open. I liked the Spytech for its versatility due its variety of features as it can be used for luggage, purses, keys, cars, and countless other types of valuable items, however, I am torn between these three trackers: LugLoc, Trackimo and Trackdot. Gego LugLoc works everywhere (indoor and outdoor) and lets you focus on what’s important; enjoying your trips, relaxing and ensures you rest easy knowing where your bags are at all times. Trackimo has a collection of trackers which seem to work really well. Online review indicates its a trustworthy product even though we haven't tested it. I am dieing to get my hands on one of this to explore its capabilities firsthand. Trackdot is decidedly the best luggage tracker as it uses GSM technology, has global access with an easy to use smart phone app. The Lite version has a built-in rechargeable battery making it superior to other trackers and it's also airline approved. It is our best pick.

Best 9 Luggage Trackers to Ensure You Have a Stress-Free Journey as You Travel

Nothing spoils a trip after many hours on the air than knowing your luggage has been lost and your clothes are in another airport. A couple of friends and even my younger brother have been victims of lost luggage which can take up to 2 days waiting for it to be traced. What if you could tell the airlines exactly where your bag was? That would really fasten the process and you would have a clean change of clothes. With so much technology available to us today, there are a lot of smart luggage trackers that can help you keep your luggage safe and give you peace of mind as you travel.

We will review two kinds of trackers which may be suitable for you: Bluetooth and GPS trackers.

Bluetooth trackers

Bluetooth trackers can be used to locate lost keys, purse, bag pack or wallet. They can tether from user to user and have about a 50ft range. Mobile or GSM luggage trackers get around the GPS coverage problem by using the local mobile network to help track your luggage. These devices can be found when they are in range of mobile towers. This will only work inside the airport terminal as long as your phone is working. It’s unfortunate if you find yourself in countries that are against this, it will work if the country you are in is supporting the tracking of the SIM chip in the device (usually a GSM based chip).

GPS trackers

GPS trackers use cellular technology where it transmits your item GPS location to a server and can monitor the location from anywhere using your smartphone. GPS luggage trackers might seem one of the best options because they include a GPS chip and can be tracked anywhere in the world and are incredibly accurate but can be limited in areas with obstructions like trees, mountains and also by buildings. The only difference between the two is the range. Bluetooth tracker can help you to track items at close range and GPS trackers will help you find a lost bag or item in a different city or country. It would be ideal to have both if you are avid traveler. GPS luggage trackers are several in the market.

Things to consider when choosing Luggage Trackers
