Did Your G/Reshade Disappear?

If you’re like me, you went into a panic as GShade completely went away without doing a thing (knowingly). Well don’t worry. We have a resolution!

The Sims/EA updated the EA app and in doing so, it caused the code to delete a file that is used by our favorite overlay/beautiful program.

WHAT TO DO /

You need to check your version of the EA app by going to the top left and clicking "About" and make sure you are running version 13.501.1.6009 the one ending in 6019 is the culprit. Now, if you have 6019, go to EA's website here / https://www.ea.com/ea-app / and download the EA App and click "repair" that will push your application to the 6009 version. Now, go to your GShade control panel, go to installs then add and then "install" it to your game again. So, find it in your Bin, TS4_x64.exe and do your appropriate shaders (if you're on dx9 or 11) and then save. Your game should work appropriately along with GShade once again.

It’s been stated that it might show up one time then go away a second time, if that’s the case simply repeat the steps until it works because over time, it will. If you’re still having issues I highly recommend visiting the GShade discord and they can help you much more in depth!

Good luck simmers!

Dear Simblr: A guide to follow before accusing people of copying someone else without proof

Are these ‘similarites’ actually just common things across the board in this community, like certain lighting styles, use of certain CC skin details and genetics etc, or similar themes like occult tails, moon shaped earrings as random examples?

Have I checked how similarly the meshes / poses align in Blender before running my mouth with confidence on the Internet? Have I checked how similar the UV maps are? (Back when someone was actually stealing poses people posted Blender proof of the poses overlapping almost exactly in multiple ways)

Am I just saying it’s ‘copying’ because I think once someone makes an item or some other thing, I believe that they own it and nobody else is allowed to make things with similar themes? Do I realise that people do not own concepts such as elflike ears or star shaped earrings?

Do I realise that there is such a thing called taking inspiration from other people?

How would I personally feel if someone made accusations against me of theft / copying with no hard proof other than ‘trust me on this bro’?

Has the creator that I am saying has been copied said anything? A popular and active creator for example would likely notice any actual theft or copying. If they have not said anything on their own page, is there a likelihood that said creator does not feel like they’ve been copied?

If I am going to be proven wrong with proof against my claim, am I going to own it or double down that I am right?

all politics about ai aside if you use it to create fanwork you're just a fucking dweeb

it pisses me off SO bad how transphobes have so effectively used sports to launder transphobia and misogyny to people. like does nobody remember like ~5-10 years ago when it was a MAJOR feminist talking point to argue for desegregating sports and going by skill level instead of gender separation??? and now, because so many cis people hate trans people so violently and think we should be excluded from all aspects of public life, you’ve got a whole bunch of women who call themselves feminists laundering misogynistic talking points about how “women are just inherently weaker and worse at athletics than men :(( it’s just biology and women are inherently inferior :(( this is definitely not misogyny that’s unsupported by science, women are just weaker and worse at things :((“ like girl open your ears and listen to what you’re saying!!

The sheer entitlement some people, including cis people and trans women, feel to transmasc bodies never ceases to horrify me.

Telling trans men not to transition because they will be ugly. Telling trans men their breasts are so (insert adjective here) and why would they ever waste them? "Warning" them that they could end up with male pattern baldness or facial hair, as though masculine features are a nightmare scenario instead of something they want. Sneering that they must actually want to be feminine anime boys, as though it's an implicit truth that not even trans men do or should want masculinity- as though it's a given that all they would ever want is femininity even while striving for masculinity. As though it's a given that masculinity is something so vile and repulsive that not even a trans man would want it. As though it's a given that trans men are just too dumb to know what they really want, and need other, non-transmasculine people to explain what they are actually signing up for.

The sheer entitlement of thinking you are allowed, on the basis of what you find more attractive (a pre-transition trans man vs a post-transition trans man) to suggest someone refrain from seeking lifesaving healthcare. The lack of awareness to do this while refusing to see that this is no different than the disgusting "save the boobies" campaigns used for breast cancer awareness. The sheer infantilization of thinking trans men don't actually understand what they're doing and the sheer minimization to claim that isn't actually what they want.

Transmasc bodies, both pre and post transition, deserve admiration just as much as transfemme bodies. They shouldn't be mocked for their "peach fuzz", they should be encouraged and cheered for it. They shouldn't be mocked for hair loss, and their bottom growth should never be sneered at. It's fine not to vibe with masculinity, but the least you could do is pretend to be happy for a trans person who is experiencing gender euphoria for the first time in their life, even if those changes would induce dysphoria in you.

If you tell a trans man they would be "so pretty" if they never transitioned, you are a transandrophobe, a more general transphobe, and you know what? You're just in general a bad person. How dare you put your perceived right to the aesthetic enjoyment of looking at a trans man's body over their right to livesaving healthcare.

Trans men deserve better.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

Image Description provided by @loveize

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.
