Does anyone know how to recover disappeared pet graves? I have no unlink on delete, I know graves like to bloop themselves out of existence sometimes, and I have the Urnstone Spawner but it only works for Sims, not pets. I've Googled it to death but I'm stumped??

Soooo hi this is awkward and I don't like doing this but our car is about to shit the bricks.

I've been having panic attacks about this for the past few days. We are a family of 3 with only one car. We are heavily babying it right now wich means my husband is unable to work and thats leaving me as the sole breadwinner for now.

I'm a stablehand and I only make about $900 a month and rent is $850, idk how Im going to do this.

I've already started looking for a 2nd job that I can ride a bike to but living in a rural area it's not looking great

I'm very very thankful for any reblogs.

Here's a list of everything thats in dire need of repair....it's bad

This is my Ko-fi but feel free to dm me for other options

I love all of you

thank you for reading💜

YaPe v0.4.2 (hotfix)

Download the latest version of YaPe here

Or if you want to for some reason you can download this specific version here

When editing mipmaps on a texture v0.4.1 would recompress the original texture, this version fixes that.

If you switch texture format back and forth between different texture formats the original texture will still be recompressed, so keep that in mind.

Actually im not gonna shut up about this simmerkate charging 25 pounds for a tutorial on how to make arguably the easiest piece of cc one could make (clutter, decor, non functional decorative shit) is making me shake from anger

Its literally 1-import mesh into blender 2- import Blender fileand Textures into package 3- save and add to game

There that line i just wrote appearantly is worth 25 dollars in her opinion

Sigh

This is a call to anyone that has done a sims 4 cc tutorial for free in the past, the only way to nip this in the bud is for all of us to refurbish/ rewrite/update those tutorials and put them out for free again please do this if you have an old tutorial sitting there collecting dust.

Also free cc creators this is the time to put what you know into tutorial form and publish it. Please dont gatekeep as that makes it possible for people like simmerkate to scam people for the simplest things.

Im so tierd of this im so sick of it if i could finish writing the tutorials im writing in 5 mins and publish them i would cause wtf is this...

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

not so gentle reminder for this pride month: my blog is not a safe space for transphobes, homophobes, ace exclusionists, or terfs

I'm going to use this as an example of what not to do when using and crediting the work of someone else in the community. I just reblogged a post about stolen code/cc but I didn't want to hijack it for my rant.

First off, the start of the issue is using someone's work against their TOU and then uploading it for others to do the same. I think it's easily understood how hurtful and disrespectful that can be.

Now, the person who did this made an update about adding credit in a README file included in the download itself.

Let's break down how this doesn't do a good job of showing credit. If you are making a video or a post, it's common courtesy to "credit" the creator whose work you're using. Different creators have different preferences, for example on tumblr some creators like to be tagged personally. Generally, most people at least want a mention in the post/video and a link back to their original work.

In this example, the original creator still isn't named in the original post, in the update, or in the video and the original work isn't linked in any of those places. The credit is only available if you download the file. While including a README file in the download folder is nice and is good for archiving, it's considered extra. Because of how easy it is to pass over, it's not most people's preferred way of being credited. Everyone likes to see their work being used an appreciated. It's why we share our work in posts, videos, and downloads, so it's good to share credit when our work is a derivative of someone else's work and to do so in a way that their work can also be seen and appreciated.

So let's just try to be nicer to each other, especially to those that form the backbone of the community by building these mods/cc and/or by sharing their knowledge with us so that we can do the same.

Sims 2 "kiosks" aka: Someone stole my code and I am not happy

Okay, I'm gonna be honest about this because it's seriously bothering me. I hesitated to say something about this for a long time because I do not want to platform that code thief. I'm also not a fan of drama, I know how stressful that is for all parties and I normally try to stay out of it. Unfortunately, this theft just keeps coming back and seriously upsetting me so I have to say something about this.

My code has been stolen. To be exact: the vendor code from Sun&Moon. To be specific: a very specific version of the Laundry mod.

And by stealing, I mean passing off someone else's work as their own and encouraging others to utilize said stolen code.

Who did it? @sissysims

Sissysims stole the vendor code, made it into a "template" and even made a tutorial telling people how to use said template to make a "kiosk". After the publication, a number of people created "kiosks" using this stolen code. Notably: @simulationprincess and @grilledcheese-aspiration. I do not blame them from thinking it is a neat concept. Because it is. That's why we built those vendors.

It is seriously upsetting though to see our work going fully uncredited and sissy-sims receiving all the credit and praise. I have tried leaving a comment under her youtube video, but she must have hidden or blocked it, as it does not show up at all. She has also disabled private messages on her Tumblr. Basically, there is no way I can get in contact with her directly. So unfortunately, I feel like this is the only way to get my message out: in public.

But how can I verify that this is stolen code?

Good question. I have recorded a little video with my proof. One-take, no editing. Should she choose to try to scrub her evidence, it will remain up.

So why am I this upset about it?

I am upset because of a variety of reasons:

Somebody is passing off my work as their own. Not only disrespecting me, mind you, but also the others who contributed to the vendor, most notably: the amazing people who translated that vendor. Yes, it is because of translations that I know that she directly stole our work. She not only stole my code, she had the nerve to steal my own words as well! I can literally see the Dutch translation that I wrote myself in there and if that isn't pissing and shitting on my head, I don't know what is

Sissysims does not know what she is doing object-creation wise. The Sun&Moon vendor code is among the easiest Sun&Moon code there is. It is simple and elegant. She decided to make it a mess requiring multiple files for some guobforsaken reason. Possibly to make it seem like it isn't straight up stolen code, who knows. Just speculating. Regardless, someone who knows what they're doing wouldn't have done what she did to that poor vendor.

Sissysims does not have the basic knowledge of how BHAVs work. The vendor code she stole uses custom globals, (something that we always clearly indicate). Naturally, she does not seem aware of this. Anyone using her "template" (read: what did she do to my darling vendor 😭) risks getting bugs because sissy-sims is incompetent and doesn't know what she's doing

Sissysims is encouraging other people to use stolen code that she herself does not understand

This is an explicit violation of the Sun&Moon policy. And also probably why she didn't bother even mentioning us. Other "edits" she has done are credited. She chose of her own free will not to bother crediting.

If she has done it to us, who is to say she won't do it to someone else in the future?

She has a fucking merch store and clearly has aspirations to earn money from her Sims videos, monetarily profiting from - among other things - the stolen code.

So what now?

If you want to create a "kiosk", please don't use that mutilated template. Just reach out to me and I can teach you how to make a vendor. It's easier and technically set up much better than sissy's poor excuse of a "template". And if it turns out the vendor doesn't do exactly what you would like it to do, then I can help you figure out how you can code something that does tick all the boxes.

If you already made one, I kindly, humbly, request you add credit. It is quite upsetting to see my work going uncredited. Or better yet: reach out as well. The offer to teach you the vendor code to make something better is also open to you. I enjoy teaching people new things if they only ask politely and are willing to learn.

If there is enough interest, I can even release an official vendor template with instructions. Simple to work with, the only requirement being proper crediting. Let me know if you'd be interested in this.

If you're sissysims:

Reconsider your choices and most importantly:

✨May you step on a LEGO brick✨
