MY SIM MADE IT ON KELSEY'S NOT SO BERRY CHALLENGE

Don't mind me, just losing my mind akjghakjgka

[acedoesgames]

I'm sorry when tf did a new Obey Me game drop??

Haven't played this game in ages let's get back inTO IT LET'S GO WHERE'S MY BOY LUCI

[acedoesgames]

calling out all the 30+ yr old simmers..

no shade to the teens and early twenties bloggers but it’s hard finding people within my age group that are active and continue to contribute here in the community. 

also idk if anyone else experiences this but sometimes it can be difficult relating to the younger population due to generational differences, pop culture, etc. 

please reblog or comment if you fall into the 30+ age simblr category.

Have A Nice Day!

31 Days of Barbie Challenge

Day 3 - Pretty in Plaid

Day 3 of the @sea-cross Barbie CAS challenge! I know lots of creators are going with the traditional pink theme, but when I was a kid, I absolutely HATED pink. So, in channeling that spirit, I'm hoping to use more different colors! Barbie can do - and wear - whatever she wants!

Hey, simblr!

So, I know by now most of you have probably gotten attacked by that anon / spammer. And by now you all know that blocking, reporting, or even turning off anon isn't going to work. It seems the only option is to turn off asks entirely. But I'm not willing to lay down that easy. Asks are part of what makes simblr a community, and I'm not going to let an idiotic piece of shit take that away from us.

So what do we do? I think we start collecting evidence. Any screenshots you have, any posts about it you've made, collect them. Get proof of what's happening. The earlier ones you have, the better. And then we have to make sure @staff notices. The fact that one of the largest communities on tumblr is getting harassed in this manner is not acceptable. Hell, even if it was one person on tumblr, it's not acceptable.

Send support requests. Send tumblr emails. Tag @staff in posts with screenshots of what's going on. (though they get tagged so often I doubt that one will work well.) Will it work?? I have no idea. Can @staff even do anything about it, since this person is clearly using 10-minute email generators to make burners? I don't know. But maybe we can convince them that this is an actual problem. And here's some solutions for @staff:

Introduce an ask setting like the one for DMs that is "only from blogs I follow"

Crack down on these endless spam accounts being made from the same computer. (I can't guarantee that it's even the same IP address if they're using a VPN)

You know what? While your at it, crack down on bot/spam account in general!! The pornbots are still a rampant problem.

Do something like Discord has, where it's possible to make it so that only people who have 2-factor authentication on can send you an ask/DM.

Tagging some people with more reach than me: @cinamun @gunthermunch @softerhaze @seafoan @peonypyxels @simstrouble @jellypawss @hazelminesims @simelune @cowplant-pizza @glimersims @sojutrait @puppycheesecake @wildmelon @marigolde

PLEASE REBLOG!!!!

This won't work if we don't work together!

[acedoesgames]

Deleted all of my old mods for the update.

Time to go fresh mod shopping!

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

So I was having a conversation over on @moonhze ‘s discord server about the whole big conversation about diversity in sims stories, the fear people have of making mistakes, and about the very intricate ways each and every one of us show up in the world, the way that nobody else on earth could articulate YOU.

And I had an idea.

My idea involves all of us and it involves making a database of adoptable story characters. The basic idea is that you create a character(or characters) based on your lens, a perspective only you can truly show, and provide a creator with everything they would need to represent that character.

For example(and this isn’t my lens but just for the sake of example) my character is Steve Wilcox, he’s white, transmasc and hard of hearing. In Steve’s sheet I’ll explain to you the trials he found in the process of transitioning in a small town, I’ll explain the process of getting a hearing aid, I’ll explain what it feels like to see in the mirror who you see on the inside, and I’ll explain which aspects of his appearance cannot be changed. All of these things are from MY perspective, and may not be true of others in similar situations. This perspective is not universally true and shouldn’t be taken as such.

(as a note, the character you make does not have to be your personal story, just a character whose experiences you can speak to with confidence)

Now, Steve is all packed up with all the information you might need to write this character well. And when you get him you’ll change his name, you might make him blond instead and make him a teenager, but you have everything you need to understand how Steve shows up in the world.

The hope with this project is to not only encourage storytellers to incorporate more diversity, but to give them the tools to do so and a better understanding of what makes a character like this tick from someone who sees the world through that lens. No two characters are ever the same; no two people who look similar live the same lives or experience the world the same. It also allows storytellers to browse the intricacies of different people, and they may not take a whole character, but they may have a character whose story aligns with yours and would be made more human by utilizing aspects of your offering.

You can submit a character anonymously, with or without a design, or you can ask to have another creator make a design for you based on your guidance. Your character, once out in the world, can be adopted by anyone and brought into their story, hence the importance of expressing which aspects cannot be changed in that process.

At the moment it’s just an idea I’m toying with but I’d love your thoughts and feedback on it. The purpose is to make a space where when a creator is looking to add a certain character to their story, they can see how that person might live and show up in the world, how their unique experience shapes them, and how to represent different people from the perspective of those that know them.

That's right Fighting Llamas - it's time for another edition of the Trinity Tribune Student Spotlight! Our spotlight today goes to one of our most notorious students here at Trinity. You either love him, you hate him, or maybe you're just afraid of him, it's our local rebel leader -

Lincoln Rhodes!

Lincoln did give us a few words for his spotlight, but unfortunately my editor has redacted them because "they are literally unprintable, are you trying to get us cancelled." Sorry Lincoln!

He enjoys, uh... Free public art expression. You may or may not have seen some of his work in Uptown San My before the city painted it over! He dislikes capitalism and is ready to take on the world after graduation.

(If, hypothetically speaking, someone did publish Lincoln's interview for the Tribune, it would hypothetically be on a columnists private blog. If you get what I'm saying.)

Welcome back to another issue of the Trinity Tribune! Here at Trinity High - the gem of San Myshuno - we have an awesome, diverse group of students that we want to show off!

So here's our very first Student Spotlight! Our first spotlight goes to...

Our gorgeous, talented cheer captain, Rosario Marquez! Rosario is eighteen and in the 12th grade. She loves cheerleading and plans to show the crowd at Britechester University who's the gimme-a-B-O-S-S after she graduates from Trinity!

She likes hanging out with her friends and posting to Simstagram. (Follow us at trinitytribune on Simsta!)

As a non-American, I really wanted to go for some kind of high school paper format for this (and was totally thinking of Smallville all the while).
