It started with a casual plan - just a weekend stroll, just the two of them. Cherry suggested the park, and Simon, already halfway convinced by her smile, agreed before she could even finish the sentence. Neither of them said it out loud, but they both felt it: the shift, the spark, the something that had quietly been building between them.

They picked a quiet spot near the water. The light turned soft and golden, painting everything in warmth. Cherry laughed at one of Simon's dry jokes, her head tilting back just enough to catch the last light in her eyes. And he swore, in that moment, she'd never looked more beautiful.

The conversation dipped into quieter waters. No more teasing, no more guarded sarcasm - just honesty. Little stories. Gentle smiles. Fingers brushing when reaching for the same patch of grass. It wasn't a date, not officially. But it felt like one.

As the sky turned shades of orange and lavender, Cherry leaned into Simon's side. At first, it was subtle. A small shift. And Simon, without saying a word, wrapped his arm around her like it was the most natural thing in the world. She melted into the gesture, and for the first time, they let the silence speak for them.

He rested his chin against her head, and she closed her eyes. No expectations. No rushing. Just closeness.

For Cherry, it was the first time she let someone that close without hiding behind a joke. For Simon, it was the first time he felt calm in someone's presence.

They didn't talk about what it meant. They didn't need to.

The sun set slowly, and neither of them moved.

Although I miss all of my cc, I forgot how refreshing it is to not have to search through hundreds of items to find one particular thing.

It took Cherry nearly an hour to send one message. Her fingers trembled as she typed and deleted, over and over, until she finally settled on: “wanna take the next train and come over? just chill & play some games? bring ur switch”

No hey. No explanation. Just straight to the point, like the last few weeks of silence never happened. And the moment she hit send, regret sank in. What was she thinking?

Simon’s reply wasn’t a yes - not right away. "why now? you ignored everything. i thought i did something wrong."

No greeting from him either. Just confusion. Hurt. And she didn’t blame him. She had vanished. No answers, no goodbye. Not even a reason.

She stared at her screen, chest tight. She couldn’t bring herself to explain - not about William, not about how his return pulled her into a spiral, or how afraid she was to get close to Simon with all that chaos in her head. So instead, she replied simply: “please, just come.”

And he did.

A few hours later, he stood at her door. The moment he stepped inside, everything felt off. Quiet. The kind of silence that sits heavy between people who used to talk without thinking. They hadn’t seen each other since that night in Windenburg with their friend group - two months ago. Back when everything felt light.

Now, it felt fragile.

They sat down, set up the Switch, and played. No small talk, just the clicking of controllers and the weight of everything unsaid. But little by little, it shifted. A laugh. A soft smile. Cherry handed him a donut, and he let her steal a sip of his drink.

It wasn’t perfect - but it was real. The awkwardness faded, and in its place came something familiar. Comfortable. The spark that had always been there quietly returned, as if it had never left.

And for the first time in weeks, Cherry smiled - not out of habit, but because she meant it.

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

Brought to you by someone who has had their laptop ruined and data leaked from downloading cc once upon a time

❝ 𝚜𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 ❞

The past two months felt like a blur to Cherry Bloom - a hazy mix of old memories and quiet days spent in her own mind. She had been trying to move forward, getting closer to Simon. But just as her heart began to open again, he appeared - William. Her ex. Out of nowhere, as if summoned by her softest, most vulnerable moment.

And with him, everything changed.

Cherry had spent so long trying to forget the pain he caused: the lies, the betrayals, the loneliness of loving someone who never really saw her. But his sudden presence stirred up all those old wounds, and it scared her. Not just because of what he did, but because of what he still had the power to do to her peace.

Without meaning to, she pulled away from everything - her friends, her games, her joy. Even Simon, who had started to mean something more, became a silent name on her screen. Cherry retreated, like a turtle into its shell, hiding from a world that once made her feel alive. She wasn't ready to let William ruin her again, but she also wasn't ready to risk letting someone new in.

Still, not everyone left.

Oliver, her best friend and the constant light in her life, never once stopped showing up. Whether it was quiet visits, heartfelt talks, or simply existing beside her in the silence, he reminded her of who she was before the storm. He reminded her that she was still there, somewhere beneath the fear and confusion.

And now, here she is.

Standing in the soft blush of spring, Cherry Bloom is beginning to bloom again. Her heart still aches sometimes, but she wants to feel happy again. She wants to feel alive. And maybe, just maybe, she’s ready to try again.

Spring has arrived. And so has she.

❝ 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 ❞

After a long gaming session with his online friends, Simon was ready for bed — until 2am brought a surprising twist. As he scrolled on his phone, a message from Cherry flashed on the screen. In that quiet moment, a mix of excitement and nerves flooded him. Though he had been content in his digital world of strategy and quick callouts, now, her unexpected outreach stirred something deeper.

Answering her call, he felt his pulse quicken as her voice — warm and teasing — filled the silence of his room. Every word she spoke seemed to draw him out of his comfort zone, making him aware of his own shyness. Even though he felt a bit uneasy, that late-night chat gave him a surprising sense of comfort. Simon found that the darkness of 2am had suddenly become a little brighter.

[elunaeri]

❝ 𝟸𝚊𝚖 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 ❞

Cherry’s laying in her bed, the soft glow of her lamp barely cutting through the darkness of 2am. Boredom had settled in, but a sudden ache of thinking about Simon nudged her to grab her phone. With a sigh, she typed a quick message:

"Hey, Simon, how’s it going?"

Almost immediately, his reply lit up the screen: "Hey, Cherry… I'm good. What's up?"

A surge of excitement made her press the call button. After a few rings, Simon answered — his voice gentle, a bit higher than usual, clearly surprised.

"Uh — hi, Cherry."

Smiling, she teased, "Did I catch you off guard, or is that your usual charming tone?"

There was a brief pause as Simon gathered his thoughts, then he chuckled shyly, "Honestly, I wasn’t expecting a call at this hour. It kind of… surprised me. In a good way, though."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, drifting from everyday updates to unexpected, deeper musings beneath the quiet night sky. The intimacy of 2am made every word feel especially precious. Finally, emboldened by the closeness of their talk, Cherry ventured further:

"You know, it would be really nice to actually see your face. How about we FaceTime sometime?"

After a moment of silence, Simon replied, his tone mixing surprise with hesitation, "Oh, what, really? Why?"

Cherry’s soft laughter filled the quiet room. "What, are you keeping your charm hidden? I’d love to see it for myself."

After a short pause, Simon exhaled gently, and with a warm smile in his voice, said, "Alright, you win. Yes, let's FaceTime."

[elunaeri]

❝ 𝚜𝚑𝚢, 𝚌𝚞𝚝𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚙 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 ❞

Cherry bounced beside Oliver, practically glowing with excitement. She couldn’t wait to tell him about the weekend she spent gaming with Simon. Even though they hadn’t talked much outside of the game, there was something about him that had Cherry intrigued.

"So, what do we know about this guy?" Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow, already knowing Cherry’s excitement was about to go into overdrive.

Cherry grinned widely. "He has a super deep voice," she said, her eyes sparkling. "Like, one of those voices that makes you stop and listen."

Oliver snorted. "Okay, and what else?"

Cherry hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed. "Well... we mostly talked about the game. He’s really good at it, but he’s shy too. In a cute way."

Oliver shot her a teasing look. "A shy gamer with a deep voice? Girl, you’re falling for the trope. What else? You’ve got to know more about him than that."

"Well, we didn’t really talk about anything else," Cherry admitted, a bit sheepish. "Just the game... and there was some flirting? It’s kind of hard to explain."

Oliver raised an eyebrow, half-joking, half-protective. "Girl, you’re getting all hyped over a guy you barely know. All you’ve told me is that he has a deep voice and is good at gaming. Maybe slow down a bit? You’ve been burned before — just don’t get carried away."

Cherry’s grin faltered slightly. "I know, I know, I’m just excited. He’s different, okay? He’s shy and not like the others!"

Oliver sighed, though there was a hint of fondness in his eyes. "I get it, but take it slow, alright? There’s more to a person than just a voice and game stats."

Cherry nodded, her grin returning as she linked her arm through his. "I promise, I won’t get ahead of myself. But... he’s really cute when he’s shy!"

Oliver laughed and shook his head. "You’re hopeless."

❝ 𝚖𝚊𝚢𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚋𝚒𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚋𝚘𝚝𝚑 ❞

Cherry sprawled across her sofa, a bowl of popcorn within reach as the glow of a horror movie flickered across the room. The weekend was winding down, but her mind was still buzzing from the six-hour gaming session she’d just wrapped up — not just with her usual friends, but with Simon. It was his first time joining them, and while he’d kept things mostly tactical over voice chat, calling out plays and positions, there was something in his tone that caught her attention. A quiet confidence, maybe. Or just the way he carried himself — reserved, but not distant.

Now, for the first time, she was about to text him. Normally, she had no trouble making the first move, but this felt different. A little more uncertain. A little more exciting. With a deep breath, she typed out a message:

"can’t believe we played for 6 hours straight, either i’m super fun, or ure way more interesting than u let on."

Her thumb hovered over "send" for just a second longer than usual before she finally pressed it. A small rush of anticipation ran through her as she set the phone down, eyes flicking back to the TV but barely taking in the scenes. Then — her phone buzzed.

His reply was quick, playful, and met her teasing energy effortlessly. A grin spread across her face. Maybe Simon wasn’t as quiet as he seemed — at least, not when it came to texting. Already, Cherry found herself looking forward to next weekend, eager to see where this new connection might lead.

[elunaeri]

❝ 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝚍𝚞𝚘 𝚝𝚘𝚐𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛? ❞

Cherry's weekend nights were always the same: energy drinks, snacks, and her pink-lit setup as she loaded into another marathon gaming session with her friends. It was routine, familiar.

Tonight, though, a new voice joined the call.

"Who's that?" Cherry asked, cracking open a drink.

"Oh, Simon. Met him in a match. He's cool," a friend replied.

His voice was deep but hesitant, a stark contrast to their usual chaos. He mostly stayed quiet, letting his gameplay speak. Curious, Cherry threw callouts his way, teasing when he hesitated, hyping him up when he landed a good play.

And just like that, they clicked.

Despite his quiet nature, Simon kept up with her energy, their plays syncing effortlessly. The night blurred into a haze of laughter, banter, and whispered ggs. Cherry had played with plenty of guys before, but something about this felt different.

As she finally stretched, eyes lingering on his name in the lobby - Simon - she couldn’t shake the feeling that this weekend was going to be different.
