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

Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.

Just two days after the previous strike, russia hits Kryvyi Rih again. They struck a residential area, next to a playground. In the early evening, when parents and children were outside.

As of now, 14 people are known to have been killed, including 6 children.

In the photo, parents stand over the body of their killed 15-year-old son.

Back in 2022, the world was saying "russian war of aggression will not be normalised". Today, in 2025, we are just numbers. Russia killing Ukrainians for the sin of existing has been normalised. Our lives are a boring statistic and our tragedies barely ever make it into the world news. Because this is no longer news.

[President of Finland] Alexander Stubb @alexstubb speaking in Kyiv today:

It is not Russia who decides on EU membership, it is the European Union who does that.

It is not Russia that decides on NATO membership, it is the alliance itself.

It is not Russia that decides on what Ukraine has by its border, when, where and how.

It's not Russia that decides on European security arrangements. We already have a European security order and should stick to it.

volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.

i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.

1) King Charles receives Zelensky in Sandringham.

It's a private residence.

There is no record of a foreign leader being received there for a private audience EVER.

2) President of the European Council, and former prime minister of Portugal António Costa, ALWAYS wears suit and tie in public.

Today, for the European leaders meeting in London, he wore a turtleneck.

I appreciate you!

Well, shit...

I'm not usually political on my blog because for me The Sims is escapism, however that doesn't mean I'm not personally political. After what happened recently in the USA I wanted to extend my heart felt sympathy for my American simmers and let you know that this blog is a safe space. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and bigotry can fully get in the bin.

I know at this point in time you may feel defeated. It's so incredibly difficult to watch hateful, undeserving people not only get away with being awful, but actually be rewarded for it with money, fame and success. But there's something I want you to keep in mind - progress has ALWAYS triumphed over conservatism. Conservatives exist to hold progression back, but throughout human history we have never stopped progressing. Innovation requires progressive attitudes, and all conservatism succeeds in doing is putting a temporary constraint on a guaranteed eventuality.

Let the hate eat those losers alive, let them wallow in their manufactured paranoia, let them continue to shout into their pathetic echo chambers. In the meantime we keep chipping ahead and in between that, we share silly content from our favourite game and come together into a positive community full of vibrant and creative people.

Russia IS THE AGGRESSOR NOT VICTIM

Trump stopped aid for Ukraine, partially lifted sanctions from russia - I guess more to come. It was expected, just like doing the tariffs against Canada and Mexico. And yet, deep down, I hoped.

I don't have more words to offer as a commentary, because - I have no words.

Please contact your representatives. Please go to protests.

We stand with Ukraine, its people, AND it's President Zelenskyy

President Zelenskyy is fantastic leader Trump's demands to Zelenskyy (the defender):

1) Formal apology

2) Give up the minerals

3) Hold elections even though Ukrainian law forbids it

4) Declare Russia as the non-aggressor

5) Give up all the temporarily occupied territories to Russia

Trump's demands to Putin (the aggressor): Absolutely nothing. This cannot be stressed enough - Trump is allied with Putin.

Russia violated more than 20 ceasefire agreements between 2014 and 2022, invaded a sovereign country Russia is the aggressor! Slava Ukraini!!
