The Crimson Mare & Boulangerie Colmar - a cc lot by moonwoodhollow

It's finally time for another lot! I feel like I've been teasing this one for far too long, but it's here now and that's all that matters!

The Crimson Mare & Boulangerie Colmar is a bar and boulangerie/café that works gameplay-wise as both a bar and a café and is best placed in Britechester. I've wanted a really nice pub feeling for The Crimson Mare and I hope I succeeded in making it ~classy~, yet also cool enough for university students to visit and have a drink with friends. Boulangerie Colmar is partially inspired by some boulangeries I've visited over the years in France and Southern Germany, it has a lot of charm and is the perfect place to meet for a coffee date or with friends to study gossip.

This is also A BIG THANK YOU to all you lovely people on simblr for being the reason I had the best 1st simblr anniversary ❤️

More screenshots, info + download link under the cut!

So what do you get?

The Crimson Mare is a 20x20 lot best placed in Britechester on the Pepper's Pub lot. The building is mostly furnished, meaning only the ground and 1st floors are fully furnished, while the others are empty. It's also been playtested.

The left/corner building is The Crimson Mare - a long-established pub loved by students of Britechester University and residents of the town alike and the building on the right is the Boulangerie Colmar, a café in which your sims feel as if they're in a cute street café in France.

If you want you could add a flat above the café for a sim who'd have it as their own business, or maybe just for storytelling purposes! (just an idea btw)

Uses items from the following packs: Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Discover University, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Werewolves, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Djungle Adventure, Vampires, Dine Out, Home Chef Hustle, Laundry Day, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Cozy Bistro, Book Nook, Blooming Rooms & Courtyard Oasis

Download: Google Drive (400 MB) | Also up on the gallery: aeromantica (but you’ll need the cc files from the Drive folder!)

Is the CC included? Most is! There’s an Excel file with all CC that you’ll need to download manually, but it’s not many files. Deco Sims are NOT included.

Also a BIG THANK YOU to all the CC-creators, without their creations, I wouldn’t have been able to build this!

@bramblefinch, @syboubou, @surely-sims, @softpine, @softerhaze

@madameriasims4, @lumenniveus, @ccbybudgie, @awingedllama, @myshunosun and many more!!

-> Info: I’ve included a few merged files, BUT! I’ve prepared a little note, about which ones are hard requirements, so it’s up to you whether you’ll include them.

TOU: Please don’t claim as your own or put behind paywalls etc. If you find any issues (wrong/missing files, etc.) please let me know + tag me if you’ll use the building, I’d love to see it in your games.

If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, I have a ko-fi!

HAPPY BIRTHIVERSARY part 2 - Crop Tops & Punk Skirts

FUN FACT: The Sims 2 (2004) was released 3 days before the date upon which I was released from my mother's womb, therefore making me younger than The Sims 2 by 3 days as of September 14th 2024, but objectively older by 6 years as of September 17th 2024. As of this post, it is now my birthday. I can feel the hands of time slowly pulling me into the earth. Let's celebrate!

Today's Very Special Birthiversary post includes a set of stylish, vaguely Scene-inspired clothes for ladies: 24 recolors of the Urban Primitive skirt, separated from the Maxis outfit by Skell, and 5 Goth themed patterned recolors and 5 bright solid recolors of the 4t2 Bow Crop Top by MDPthatsme, with black tank top undershirts attached using textures by DeeDee. The clothes are for AF and TF, with Standalone and Repositoried options for TF, and they come with all morphs.

All meshes are included and special characters that would make the game load slower (specifically hyphens) have been removed from the filenames. Since the skirt is from the ever popular Maxis Match Repository Project, you probably have the mesh for the skirt lying around in your Downloads somewhere, so make sure you don't have duplicates.

For the skirts, there are two versions with tights - one of which is a mashup of fishnets by Io (colored red and black) and the Maxis black and white stockings, and the other is the Maxis shorts+fishnets texture because I liked it - and one version with bare legs, which can be used with @themeasureofasim's stockings accessory boxes. (actually only a handful work, see under the cut)

The crop tops and the skirts are 'meant' to be paired together but, being separates, you can mix and match with any other top or bottom you want.

See under the cut for more (not very important) information.

I have done my best to credit everyone who's resources I used. If I have misattributed or missed anybody, or if I have broken a rule in someone's TOU somewhere, please let me know.

Secondly, this is my first time 'retexturing' clothing instead of just recoloring it, as well as the first time I've done anything clothes-related in a very long time, so please be gentle to me with your criticisms and let me know if anything needs fixing <3

I wanted to recreate this outfit using only textures, because I know nothing about meshing and Milkshape scares me. As you can probably tell, I got a little carried away from the original goal.

I mashed a bunch of patterns, textures, and colors together on top of the crop top and skirt in an effort to learn 'advanced' recoloring of clothes in GIMP, as the most I've ever done before was just recoloring using pre-made PSDs. it was a bit of a disorganized disaster and there was quite a bit of blood, sweat, and tears. But the end results look... mostly nice, I think.

The arm warmers and fishnet gloves shown in the preview are a pair of accessories created by katsurinssims that I used to try to 'complete' the look, and are not included in this download.

Edit: im very sorry, I only tested a handful of the accessory stockings on the bare legs skirts, because I was very tired and there are A Lot of them, and assumed they would all work. But after a bit more testing, some of them have small gaps or poke through the boots, and the ones that are supposed to go over the crotch area end up looking like over the knee socks. Other than that, most of the knee high socks and tights work, but only on AF. I don't consider this a huge problem though, because a good amount of the tights work and the ones with gaps are barely noticeable.

There's a shoe swap that makes all of the boxes work with these skirts and I'll make another versIon of them with that mesh later.

Hello everyone!!!

Finally I bring you the first pack of the month of a few that are on their way these next couple of weeks. As I told you in my "coming soon" post, this month I have 4 packages for patreons but I will also bring some gifts for everyone based on Christmas and New year's eve. 🥰

I'm a little behind because of the things I've already mentioned before (many power outages at home and personal things) plus with the holidays, I have even less time, but I'm very excited to bring you everything I have being working on.

This time I'm sharing a "couple posepack" that could go well with my "Xmas05" posepack... I created this pack thinking about a couple of my pixels from an "oppposites challenge" I play, So I thought I should do the cover photo with them. She is quite clumsy and unflirty, he on the other hand is quite a romantic boy and has a crush on her and I tried to make their expressions represent that a little.  Although they're not in this stage of their life yet (They despise eachother yet xD)... But maybe one day they will reach this point of the story.

In any case, it seems like a good time to share with you a couple conversation with coffee included on a nice winter night (or day).

I hope you like them.

----------

What is on it? 9 Couple poses  (Made with a male rig and a female rig) + 2 all in one. What do you need?

OPTIONAL: I had a mistake doing the poses and use [Ana Zanacolle] Creamy Coffee ACC first, so the poses work with that accessory too.

[stargazer-sims-cc]

Welcome to my Custom Content blog!

My name is Sapphire, and I've been playing the Sims since 2000. I started making custom content for The Sims 4 in 2015 and started sharing my creations in 2016. This is something I do for fun, not for profit, so my CC will always be free and without ads. New updates will be added when I feel like it, and not based on a regular schedule.

I make custom content primarily for myself, for my own characters and gameplay. It's rare that I'll make something with the sole objective of it being publicly-consumed content. As a result, things that I share on this blog may contain swatches that are unique and specific to my characters and builds. If you don't like that, then I suggest you look elsewhere for custom content that more adequately meets your needs.

Due to past issues on my old CC blog, all messaging is disabled for this account. If you need to contact me about something, please reach out to me on my main account - @stargazer-sims. Do not ask me CC-related questions on anon. They will be deleted immediately. This account is not WCIF friendly. If you want WCIFs, please send me a message on my main.

I am not doing any more CC or build requests - both of those take a lot of time, and I've come to realize that doing specific things for people for free is actually a thankless and draining process. As it turns out, nice guys do finish last, and since I no longer wish to be last in my own life, I've made the decision to prioritize my own time and interests.

I make recolours, mesh edits, tuning mods and overrides, and I may also share builds and sims from time to time. I'm always learning new things, and I like to experiment, so if you're looking for something boring and cookie-cutter, this is not the place to find it.

I have a lot of male characters and I like making masculine-frame clothing and accessories. I test my stuff on all default body types, and I try to make clothing unisex whenever possible.

To help you find things, here are some links to my categories:

masculine adult

feminine adult

child

toddler

infant

horse

dog

tattoos & body details

skins

medical & disability

build & environment items

tuning mods & overrides

builds

sims

__________

My TOU I can't stop anyone from doing whatever they want with my custom content. The only things I ask are that you don't claim my creations as your own and that you don't re-upload them or place them behind ads or paywalls.

× FAQ ×

“This link is broken or doesn’t exist anymore” and “Where can I find X set”

head over my blog’s download section to have access to a list of all my free content; this is an easy-to-navigate list, with direct download links (mediafire or patreon) & includes all my older sets that had broken links.

→  download section  ←

“This bed is broken”

when the game adds new features through updates, it can break certain type of content; to update my beds & have them work properly again, you will need to re-download them here :

→  beds update  ←

“Where can I download your builds?”

my builds & rooms are not available for downloads because I do not keep them myself. I usually create simple rooms only to showcase my content & take pictures, I then delete them.

“What ReShade/GShade do you use & where can I download it?”

my GShade presets are all my own personal presets. I think that one’s preset is such nice way to add a unique touch to pictures & I won’t share any of my presets for that reason.

“Do you allow recolors & conversions to other Sims games?”

yes. I allow recolors & conversions (to Sims games ONLY), as long as my content is already released for free & out of early access. For more information, please read my terms of use;

→  terms of use / t.o.u  ←

“I just downloaded X set, and my game won’t start”

this can happen for a few reasons; your game isn’t up to date, you have a lot of duplicate packages, or files got corrupted while downloading. If you download a lot of fully finished builds with merged cc (or into different files), you could end up with a lot of duplicates of the same object. This could cause your game to be slower or even not start at all. Secondly, downloading a lot of files at the same time, especially on patreon, seems to be causing problems & corrupting files. The corrupted files will cause your game to either crash at start or give you an error message. Try taking the last files you downloaded out of your Mod folder and re-downloading the set, or sets, only one part at the time. This seems to always work for me. My content is tested by multiple people (and me) before uploading & I would not upload broken content. If you are facing issues with an older set of mine, it is most likely a problem that occurred while downloading or with your game/mod folder. I am always happy to help when it comes to my content, but I will not “fix” any other creator’s content. In short, make sure to check for: - batch fix (e.g. broken beds updates) - game updates - cc duplicates - corrupted files Lastly, if you did all the above, and are still having problems, do not hesitate to send me a direct message (DM). When it comes to troubleshooting, I will not answer comments below posts for the simple reason that it makes it difficult to have a conversation. Going back and forth with replies into a comment section makes it too difficult since it will most likely require going through a few steps to solve any further issues.

"Do you do commission work?"

no, I dont. I often take suggestions or make small polls on my social media (insta & patreon), feel free to follow me & participate in those, send me pictures of things you like etc.

"Are you WCIF friendly?"

yes. I will do my best to remember where it was from, but since I don't keep any builds in my game, it can sometimes be difficult. Also, please note that I often write a small WCIF section at the end of my posts, take the time to read all the way down!

Thank you all for being here, supporting my work & taking the time to read.

Edit & Refitting of Minervamagicka x Schrodcat's Dressage Saddle (SSO Conversion) --removal of original pad+pad's mesh and replaced with my custom dressage pads.

FREE DOWNLOAD LINK IS IN MY PATREON NOW. :) >>>This is a complete Edit & Refitting of Minervamagicka x Schrodcat's Dressage Saddle (SSO Conversion) mainly to remove the saddle pad that came with the original file as it prevented you from being able to change it to a different saddle pad. This still does come with my own custom made Dressage saddle pads so it is still not a stand-a-lone saddle (yet! I am working on making a version without any pad so you can use ANY pad you want with it) but I have included 21 unique and beautiful swatches of my own custom dressage pad with it. :) Absolutely ALL credit goes to Minervamagicka x Schrodcat for being the original creators of this Dressage saddle conversion from SSO. Here is a link to Minervamagicka's Tumblr ((((( https://minervamagicka.tumblr.com/post/724330059168645120/sso-conversion-ts4-dressage-saddle )))))where you can download their original version if you have not done so already <3 This took a lot of trial and error and many late nights to get this right. That said, the saddle will clip slightly with certain horse poses. Also, this is not meant to have your sim ride in -other- than for some poses as this saddle has been positioned not in the "normal EA Saddle Position" but instead it sits in a more realistic/properly fitted position, so in other words it is slid up further on the horse's back to sit where a saddle realistically would/should sit.This is mainly for some poses and for photo editing and taking nice photos of your pretty pixel ponies :) I do also plan on releasing, eventually, a EA fitted version of the saddle but this may be a while from now, but who knows, lol. I hope you all enjoy :) TOU---

--Please do not claim my work as your own. --Please give credit to me as either Equinista or Equestrianista (I use/go by both!) and also to Minervamagicka x Schrodcat for being the original creators/convertors of this saddle from SSO (Star Stable Online). --DO NOT EVER upload my creations behind a paywall! My work is free for all, I strictly abhor paywalling. --I love seeing others enjoy my creations, a tag is always appreciated :D

[trussovasims]

Some thoughts and feelings…

I just wanted to come on and pop my stance on “reclaiming” horses/animals/sims. If this is something in your TOU, that’s okay! But myself personally, I understand that people have lives, commitments, responsibilities outside of The Sims 4. Things come up, unpredictable things happen and people can’t always provide updates. It’s super upsetting when we grow close to the horses/sims/pets we purchase and do use them in our game, but we haven’t had chance to provide a recent update.

I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings as I’ve recently had a lot of people reclaiming horses from me, and it’s not a nice feeling at all. I understand that people can consider their animals as artwork, but like I say, the sims 4 is a game, for us all to enjoy, and just because we might not be able to dedicate time and post a photo/update of the horse/animal/sim it doesn’t mean they’re sat in our gallery and we don’t use or love them.

I also feel like it can create a sense of hostility between people, and friendships, and in my opinion it really isn’t worth it. People will inevitably get their backs up over this, for the most part people LOVE the creations they “purchase” (fake discord currency) or else they wouldn’t purchase them, sometimes life just gets in the way.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to have whatever they like in their TOU, but I do wish there was more understanding and lenience with creators.

I have seen so much hostility and upset within the community recently and it’s genuinely just so sad. What was meant to be an escape for people, has ended up adding unnecessary stress to their lives, and over what? A game?

I have made more horses, dorses, sims, dogs, cats, than I can count, and I have never reclaimed a single one. Of course it’s nice to see updates, but I think we need to start letting people live, and enjoy the game again, not make it a chore to play in fear of having horses, animals, sims, etc being reclaimed ❤️

Genetic Unnatural Hair Colours for Little Sims (Seasons)

I made this many, many years ago in pursuit of being able to play a proper Perfect Genetics Challenge but my recolouring skills were not so great back then and it's been so long; we have many more hairstyles and even a new life stage (hello, infants!) so I felt it was time to just remake this from scratch.

This is the Seasons set of child hairstyles with the 7 unnatural colours added (white, grey, purple pastel, dark blue, turquoise, and green). They are genetic, meaning your Sims with unnatural hair colours can have children born with the same unnatural hair colour.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

4 Seasons child hairstyles with 7 unnatural swatches added

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

Hairstyles from the base game - get those here!

Hairstyles from other DLC packs - see my CurseForge profile for more packs!

Ombre hairstyles - I couldn't get them to look as nice as I wanted them

Black Salt & Pepper, and Brown Salt & Pepper swatches - I tried but they must have some funky coding attached to those colour categories because they defaulted to warm brown and black in-game.

OTHER INFO

Not new meshes - these are recolours of the existing base game Maxis hairs

No custom thumbnails - I didn't want to clutter up the CAS catalogue with duplicate hairs so these recolours show up as additional swatches on the existing base game hair in the catalogue.

[peacemaker-ic]

Hi, if it's not too much to ask, would you expand a little on what kinds of things help to create "an environment that isn’t actively hostile for creators?" Genuine question, I'm new to the scene and not aware of all the considerations.

There are definitely a few things the community can do to not be actively hostile towards creators. There are also things creators can do too (this is a 2 way street). I may not experience some of these now, but when I was starting out some were common, and also what creator friends have experienced in the past. I would say i am also quite observant so this is just things I have noticed while being a creator all these years. There are probably more things that can be done, but this is what i can think of right now. I will put it under a read more because i am chatty LOL

Don't expect content from creators. We are people too and have a life outside of the sims community (for example, if people have been following me they know what I have been going through but not everyone is as open with their struggles). Asking, and in some cases demanding more content from people is ignoring them as a person.

Suggestions are great, but don't be pushy about it. Your taste may not align with that of the creator you messaged, and hearing a no is not an invitation to message them again asking the exact same thing. Imagine multiple people doing this and it ruins requests and suggestions for everyone else.

Show appreciation. This is incredibly important for newer creators as they may just feel like they aren't good enough. Don't just click on that download link, click a like, comment and share that post if you love it. If you are able to support that's great too, but only if you have the willingness and means of doing so.

Be polite. You are talking to another human being, treat others like you want to be treated. This goes for creators too.

Actively sharing content around right after release can be quite disheartening. Yes, i get it, it's in early access and people are going to do it regardless because they believe "early access sucks". But this is also dehumanising a person and the effort they put into content. This will chip away at a person over time and is quite careless. You may be 'helping' one group, but screwing over another.

Don't actively use free creators against early access creators to prove a point. I get it, you hate early access, but don't use me or others to push an agenda. Everyone's situation is unique and they may not be able to do it freely. It's also not cool to pit people against each other, we are all in this together.

Support free creators and early access alike. Just because it's free that doesn't mean you shouldn't support the creator. Able to donate? See if they have a donate page or patreon. Unable? That's ok too. Leave kind messages, reblog and like the posts, even just clicking the little heart on the SFS link is nice. Next time you download from there, just check the discrepancy between downloads and the likes and you will see how underappreciated creators can be.

If you think a creator is being shady, don't support that behaviour. That is rewarding them for it, then others will just think they can get away with it as well. Don't let FOMO run your life. Sometimes it's just better to walk away.

Creators need to take a bit more of a hands-off approach to their content. If you want to actively limit the spread of your content to the point you are collecting people's information and sending out trackers to figure out who is sharing your content, maybe it's you with the problem and not the community. When you make content for the Sims you are accepting the ToU and that means your content can be freely shared. If you don't like this, maybe you are creating for the wrong game. I know from personal experience that it is hard to let go of that feeling, but don't embrace it.

User's shouldn't vehemently enforce Maxis' ToU themselves. Yes, it is there and should be followed but this is not the crusades. Use is as a guide to tell the good from the bad, but don't force it down the throats of others like you are some missionary trying to 'civilise the savages.' You are only going to look like a self righteous asshole.

Creators, you aren't entitled to people's money. It should be at their leisure and not forced. If you paywall stuff you really need to take a long hard look at yourself. Users really shouldn't encourage this either.

I think that's about it, or stuff i can think of now. Honestly, this does go in general for the community as a whole too. In short, Don't be an asshole and treat others how you want to bee treated. We all love this game so find some common ground and don't be dicks.

A Post To Be Pinned

aka. Lifa gathers all the links/tags so you can actually find things in my fantastic Sims 2 dumpster. This is a Work In Progress.

Adding my TOU here, which boils down to: As long as you don’t put it behind a paywall or malicious ad redirectors, anything goes. Convert, remesh, recolor, rebuild, redistribute, tear it apart to see how it works. Tag me or send me a link if you want, I like to see things, but it’s not required.

Creations - Most of if not all of everything I’ve ever done, thrown around randomly as I did it or as I felt like reblogging it.

Fixing Things - Do you already have a thing I made & want to know if there have been updates/changes? See this tag.

Dead Silence - default semi-transparent vampire skin with vein details.

Held By The Roots - default semi-transparent plantsim skin with FantasyRogue’s Canvas plantsim vines.

Nameless But Awake - edit of MidgeTheTree’s custom Mermaid supernatural state; semi-transparent, scaly.

It’s All Sorcery -  edit of MidgeTheTree’s custom Fairy supernatural state; just the wings accessory.

Sugar Servo Edit - Simple Servos with nice eyes, no lipstick, no supernatural logos on the supernatural servo state. Very old.

Face Sliders - Mine.

Tatted Up - 10-option tattoo overlay applicator that is shaped like a 3t2 tattoo gun instead of being a crate.

Beardly - I made the beards look like hair, in all of Pooklet’s colors & defaulted them. Other people added on & recolored them. This is that.

Hairp Derp - Hair dumps but I think I’m funny. Some meshfixes & gender/age conversions, mostly just recoloring things in Pooklet colors.

Clothing - Exactly what it says on the label.

Clothing Defaults - Again, exactly what it says on the label. I don’t think all my defaults are tagged as such, but it should be most of them.

Buy Mode - Should be most of everything that you can buy from the in-game Buy Mode catalog.

Simlish Soda Machine - The most updated version with many edits from all over the community.

Build Mode - Should be most of everything you can get in the in-game Build Mode catalog.

Repository - All of the buy/build items that either were repo'd already & I recolored, or I repo’d because I’m too lazy to recolor things that many times. 

SC4 Rebuild Project - Witness me making SC4 houses for Sims 2. Download houses. LifaLand - That one time I went crazy & remeshed an entire theme park for TS2, it’s a Lot (in both senses; it is Very Much & also it is a Community Lot). I'd like to rebuild this with edits/mesh-swaps of the updated rollercoaster objects from PickNMixSims but I went through the whole process ONCE & am reluctant to start over again.

Makeup - Exactly what it says on the label.

Emotive Eyes - Default animation-friendly eyes & addons.

Farm - Animated rideable animal objects; remeshed, retextured, reworked. I have some updates to make them more functional, I just haven’t finished doing the thing to the point I can release it yet.

Creator Resources

Color Actions - Suitable for use in Photoshop; use on a gray base with hex value between #a0a0a0 & #c9c9c9 for best results.

WSO Actions - Links directly to the SFS folder they all live in. Most of them are in large packs; just delete what you don’t want. Folder also includes a PSD template for the freckles & moles I used on my Birthday Suit skins, for some reason.

Trans Shapes WSOs  - I have no idea which folder I put this in, in SFS, or maybe I’m just blind, so here’s the direct link.

Hi, I'm just starting out on posting Sims stuff on tumblr and I wanted to ask about the general etiquette? I guess? On posting Sims pictures. Like, I see people tagging the CC creators for some posts but not all of them. should I always tag the creator or ask if they want to be tagged? do I link to that specific CC or just to their page? what if I don't know the creator? I try and keep track but I have CC i downloaded from like. 2016 I think. and tagging on tumblr has always confused me, I've never really done more than reblogging things, do I just tag the posts with like "Sims 4" or???

sorry for the mass questions, i'm not new to tumblr but i'm new to actively trying to participate in a community on here and i'm kinda overwhelmed lol. which is also why i'm asking on anon bc otherwise I'd never hit send

anyways, i hope you have a good day/night! 🌻

Hi! Welcome to the community 💕

I don't think there are any rules for posting sims pics really, it's not necessary to tag creators if you don't want to, unless it's a lookbook. Other people may want to get the same stuff and it just makes sense to put links to the used items (it's the point of a lookbook) and tag creators (this isn't a must but creators very often reblog lookbooks and edits with their content if they like them so you might want them to see your pics and give you some exposure). If it's like an edit or something else that's not specified as a lookbook, you may put in the info the used CC and tag creators, but only if you feel like it. Again, there are no strict rules or etiquette as you said for your simblr posts, do as you like to and as you are comfortable with.

Linking the used CC can actually save you from many wcif questions if you prefer to avoid them, I guess if you're very shy it may be important for you.

No need to ask a creator if they want to be tagged, most creators are thrilled to see their content being used in other people's games, and yes, you may tag creators even if you don't know them personally. 😅 If you're not sure, check their TOU or their blog, a lot of creators mention how they feel about tagging. Plus, even if a creator is annoyed by your tagging (which is very unlikely, but let's pretend) it's their choice just to ignore your post and that's it.

As for tagging posts, it's important to tag your posts according to their content. First of all it's just simply rude to tag your post like 'the sims 3' if it's not from this game or add 'ts4cc' tag to your post if it's not a download post (unless it's a lookbook with the links to the used cc, then it's fine BUT ONLY THEN). Then, if it's an edit you may add more specific tags like 'the sims 4 edit', 'ts4 edit', or if you post a legacy add some tags related to this theme. You may even develop your system of tags to organize everything within your blog. Like you have a specific tag for your edits only, you can put a link to it somewhere on your blog so others when visit your page could click on it and see your other works.

I'd say worry less about such things, just let your creativity flow and start posting, interact with other people, observe how they do things. Before I started posting anything on my own, this blog was also only for CC tracking, but I was lurking around and looked at how people do things around here.

Hope you'll stick around and simblr experience will be only pleasant for you! Feel free send any other question, I'll be glad to help. Have a nice day\night too 🤗💓
