WASP on my NECK while DRIVING

Taking a break from the sims to read House of Leaves. This feels like a mistake

Got 88 (2 culled in meshing, 9 culled in importing) meshes all done, but discovered in testing the bug was not actually fixed. I don't know why it didn't crop up in the Windenbro set. I'll eventually have to troubleshoot exactly where the bug occurs and ask the s4s forum for help, but I really hate having to turn off my VPN just to visit their site. It's extremely discouraging that I'm going to have to do all this AGAIN for a third time.

The blender/s4s bug that was getting in the way of doing digi conversions fixed itself somehow, so I guess I can finally redo everything finish up that set I've been working on forever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

okay

For the record. If this happens when you try to travel or use the knight teleporter, it was TwistedMexi's searchable poses mod, which has since been updated.

I actually had some sims all dolled up and ready to be posed for real preview pics, but the game is having some kind of critical error with menus and I just wanted to get this out there. 50/50 tomorrow, my favorite

my 5d labyrith of a filing system is biting clean through my ass WHERE ARE THE PACKAGES

about tattoo fix

I'm on my way to fix all my stuff in tattoo categories, but it's really annoying how all my old CC aren't working with color sliders anymore, while in scar categories they're working totally fine. They are already converted to LRLE, so I don't sure what else I can do about it 😥

Has anyone figured out how to fix them?

The zip contains a .bat file that requires Administrator permissions to run. The number one thing you can do to protect yourself is to not use an admin account for day-to-day use. re: password rotation, it's best to get a password manager (I recommend Bitwarden) and use the built-in password generator. If you think you may be infected, install Malwarebytes and run a full scan. I don't know if it will completely clear out this one, but it's never failed me in the past.

Hey everyone it seems there a malicious individual trying to hack the sims cc community again and fill it with malware you need to stay vigilant as a creator and a downloader so

i have some tips for both to stay safe while downloading:

1- sims cc file extension is always .Package never download anything that is .exe

2- do not auto unpack zip files and rar files into your mods folder directly, open each zip or rar individually check the file extensions and drag them to your mods folder one by one

3- the only mods that have a .ts4script extension are ones that affect gameplay or how the game works, understand that if you are downloading cas or bb items you shouldn't have a .ts4script file

4- if you are downloading gameplay mods that do have .ts4script make sure that A) the creator hasn't announced on their pages that its infected B) you are downloading from a link provided by the creator of the mods themselves not something off of google or a link you got sent and make sure dates of upload match dated of announcements

5- if the mod or cc creator has retired and hasn't posted for a while LOOK AT THE DATES OF THE UPLOAD if it has been "updated recently" after the creator has left the community its most likely re-uploaded by a hacker and infected

6- download mod gaurd by Twisted mexi and keep it updated and keep your windows defender or malware detector Program up to date and always running do not disable it

7- make sure everything you download comes from a direct link from the cc creator, in this day and age do not trust link shortners, adfly, linkverse, etc get the universal bypass extension and ublock extension to stay safe but genuinely NEVER CLICK ON THOSE no matter how much the creator reassures you its safe it. is. NOT.

8- this is more of a general saftey precaution but, create a system restore point weekly before you run the game with new mods that way if anything happens you could have a chance to restore your windows to an earlier date before you downloaded anything.

9- BACK UP YOUR SHIT im serious right now either weekly or monthly put your files somewhere safe like a usb a storage card a hard drive even an online cloud if you dont have any of the previous.

10- files you should back up are your media from games and media everything else, any mods, games saves, work files, passwords, saved bookmarks, any documents txt files word files pdfs, links you saved, brushes or actions for Photoshop if you have any, any digital bills or certificates if you have any, and keep a physical list of all programs you have installed and where you installed them from

11- turn on any 2 factor authentication and security measures for any account you have

12- google and firefox have the option to check your paswords and emails against any data leaks USE THIS FEATURE and change any leaked passwords

13- regularly check your logged in sessions to make sure all the logged in devices or computers are yours and log out any that aren't and any old devices or unused sessions do this for every website and app you have an account on if available

14- change your passwords often. I know this is a hassle i know its hard to come up with new passwords but changing your passwords every few months will help you against anything mention previously that wasn't detected.

15- and as a cc creator check your cc and the accounts you host cc on and its uplaod and update dates make sure nothing has been changed without your permission :(

16- generally try not to get swept up in the "i must get it" fever you do not need to "shop" for mods weekly or monthly you do not need to download everything by that one creator you do not need to download new cc everytime you want to make a sim, im guilty of this so i know how hard it is to resist but take a breath and think "do i want this or do i need it" before downloading.

These are prevention methods i cant claim they are 100% will prevent any hacking but its better to be safe than sorry and these do keep you safe so
