And the theme is.... Sea Creatures!!!

If your favorite theme hasn't been picked, they can be resubmitted for next month, so don't worry.

If you are confused about how to participate, the rules are here, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions you might have!

Also, since some people seem to be confused, you don't have to make CC! Lookbooks, builds, sims dumps, challenges... if it's somewhat sims related and fits the prompt, we want it! Any sims game is welcome as well, nobody is left out. Don't forget to use the tags #SimblrCollabProject and #SimblrCollabJuly2025 when you post so we can reblog!

If you just want to make a cool edit or render instead of something other can use, that's fine too. Not sure if they will be reblogged here though, since sharing useful stuff is the main focus of this project.

Once more, I will ask you to share the project with as many people as possible (on other platforms as well)! Managing this project is taking me a lot of time and effort, and if the participation is low I will not be able to continue!

Have fun, and we can't wait to see what you make!

Have a good day/night,

The Simblr Collab Project Team (@oswanily and @moonfromearth) 💛

And inside the file for the name, do us a favor and add a | then your creator name and some tags. They are invisible but searchable.

You can use bulk rename utility to rename badly named CC btw!

Sims modders/CC creators, this is for you...

PLEASE put your name in your filename. One, someone will have a clue who it's by when they go to find more by you or to finally organize their Mods folder. Two, you're less likely to end up with the exact same filename as another creator.

PLEASE put your name FIRST in your filename. Alphabetization is super useful. It's less useful to alphabetize by the cute name you gave that hair or set of chairs.

PLEASE, for the love of all things Sims, consider not only using your initials. My Mods folder now has three different creators whose files start "MM". There might be even more of you MM's out there.

This has been a public service announcement.

[thatsimslady]

Love this!

Addressing the Recent Changes to TSR's Artist Program

Hi everyone,

I’m writing today to address the recent changes to TSR's Artist Program and the concerns that have been raised by members of our community. We understand that these changes have caused a lot of frustration, confusion, and disappointment. We want to provide full transparency about why these decisions were made, how they affect our current and future artists, and what this means for the TSR community moving forward.

Firstly, I want to apologise for the way the restructuring of the Artist Program was handled. I acknowledge that the communication our artists initially received could have been better. It was always our intention to follow up with support, feedback, and advice, which we are doing now. The communications for a loss of badge at TSR is structured, and I understand how this has created confusion and hurt. Please know that we are committed to maintaining an open line of communication with these former artists, we have been following up with all artists affected, and we will continue to support them in any way we can.

Why These Changes Were Necessary

TSR’s Artist Program, which has been home to nearly 200 talented paid artists, had not undergone a thorough evaluation in years. This lack of oversight led to a situation where the program became financially unstable and exposed to significant risk. Without proper management and planning in previous years, the program was not sustainable. If we hadn’t addressed these risks, it would have jeopardised the long-term viability of the program, threatening our ability to fairly compensate artists and sustain the community that depends on their creativity.

It’s also important to highlight that these financial constraints had prevented us from inviting new artists, promoting Select Artists or increasing pay for current artists, leaving over 100 talented creators waiting for up to 3 years for an opportunity to advance. 120 Artists have now finally been promoted, rewarded and acknowledged for their outstanding contribution to TSR, but unfortunately their achievements have been overshadowed by information spreading online.

Why This Was Done

The changes we implemented were not easy, nor were they taken lightly. The difficult decision to let some artists go was made to ensure that the program could continue to operate sustainably and support the 120+ artists who remain with us. Many of these artists rely on TSR for their livelihood, with some coming from countries where the additional support they receive from TSR is vital.

As part of our thorough evaluation process, we assessed the performance of each artist by analysing the value they brought to the platform relative to the investment made in their work. This included reviewing metrics such as engagement with their content per dollar spent. We deeply appreciate the work of our artists, but the financial outcomes unfortunately did not align with the investments that were being made, and we had to make difficult decisions based on these findings to ensure the overall sustainability of the program. In doing so, we were able to fairly compensate all remaining Artists.

Addressing Misinformation

We want to address the misinformation that has been spreading online. Some are claiming that more artists were let go than actually were. In reality, a number of the artists included in these rumors were not let go—they left on their own terms a few months ago. Furthermore, several of the artists who were let go had been inactive for longer than the agreed period and were fully aware of the terms they had agreed to. Some of the named Artists are actually still with us, and have been caught up in this for no reason at all other than by assumptions or a lack of research. It’s important to clarify that this is not a traditional job where someone is “fired.” TSR is a user-generated content platform that compensates artists generously based on their performance on our site.

Spreading incorrect information hurts the 120+ artists who are still part of our community. These creators have continued to pour their time, talent, and passion into their work, and they deserve your support too.

The communications with the former artists ensured they would still be paid for all remaining works they have done with us. It also included that if circumstances ever change, they would always be welcome back as an artist. We do not forget the hard work that has been done, and we do care.

Looking to the Future

Our evaluation process was thorough and took into account numerous factors, including each artist's contribution, consistency, quality of work, and the community's engagement with their creations. We are committed to maintaining a program that is fair, transparent, and supportive of our artists.

Moving forward, we will continue to refine the program to ensure it remains financially viable while fostering the incredible creativity of our artists, to prevent situations like this from happening again. We are also dedicated to providing a community where artists can thrive, receive the recognition they deserve, and be part of a vibrant, supportive environment.

Conclusion

This has been a challenging period for everyone involved, but we believe these changes were necessary to secure the future of TSR’s Artist Program. We remain committed to our artists, our community, and the values that TSR stands for. We hope you will continue to support our artists as we work to build a sustainable and thriving platform for creators.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your dedication to the TSR community.

Sincerely, Queenie, Creative Ops Manager, The Sims Resource

Genetic Unnatural Hair Colours for Little Sims (Seasons)

I made this many, many years ago in pursuit of being able to play a proper Perfect Genetics Challenge but my recolouring skills were not so great back then and it's been so long; we have many more hairstyles and even a new life stage (hello, infants!) so I felt it was time to just remake this from scratch.

This is the Seasons set of child hairstyles with the 7 unnatural colours added (white, grey, purple pastel, dark blue, turquoise, and green). They are genetic, meaning your Sims with unnatural hair colours can have children born with the same unnatural hair colour.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

4 Seasons child hairstyles with 7 unnatural swatches added

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

Hairstyles from the base game - get those here!

Hairstyles from other DLC packs - see my CurseForge profile for more packs!

Ombre hairstyles - I couldn't get them to look as nice as I wanted them

Black Salt & Pepper, and Brown Salt & Pepper swatches - I tried but they must have some funky coding attached to those colour categories because they defaulted to warm brown and black in-game.

OTHER INFO

Not new meshes - these are recolours of the existing base game Maxis hairs

No custom thumbnails - I didn't want to clutter up the CAS catalogue with duplicate hairs so these recolours show up as additional swatches on the existing base game hair in the catalogue.

My Fishy Friend Pose Pack (CurseForge, Free)

I got this request for a pose pack of a toddler helping an adult care for a pet fish and I thought it was just too cute not to make. Here's a set of 5 poses for an adult and a toddler interacting with a fish.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

5 couple poses

Fish food accessory

Thumbnails for all poses

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Pose Player

Sim Teleporter

Sponge accessory

My Little Marimo Aquarium (Snowy Escape)

Night Stand (Laundry Day night stand recommended)

HOW TO POSE

Check out my tutorial on Sims Community!

OTHER INFO

Place the teleporters on top of the nightstand facing the front of the nightstand

There are a lot of poses in this set that interact directly with the My Little Marimo aquarium from Snowy Escape so the poses may look odd if you don't use that specific aquarium.

While you can use any nightstand that is the same height as the nightstand from the Laundry Day pack, I still recommend that exact nightstand to get your placement exactly right.

The Sims 4 Genesis Challenge

I came up with this challenge many years back and have recently started playing it again with a family of vampires. I decided to finally get around to updating it for recent game updates and packs and putting it up on my blog.

You all are welcome to join in and play too if this challenge interests you. Happy Simming! <3

simblr trading card template - by @buttertrait and I <3

butter and I were like what if we made trading cards for our sims and then we worked together to make this template so we can all pretend we're exchanging cards in the playground.

font we used: bad comic - but will work with mostly any font

change the skill bars with the move tool on the layers named "CHARISMA SKILL" "BODY SKILL" "LOGIC SKILL". just move them left and right!

Layers are colour coded - green you edit, red you dont!

Made with photoshop 2021 but should work on any photoshop/ program that can open .psd files

grab @deathbypufferfish 's brilliant build-a-sim icon pack here for the icons

dont forget to add ur username at the bottom so we know where we got the card from :O!

post them under " #simblrtradingcards " so we can collect them all :> (note, tumblr search only reads the first 5 tags on a post. anything after 5 doesnt show up on search)

download psd / gimp (google drive)

Little Cottage

The other day I was in such a weird building mood. I really wanted to build but I also was too tired to build. I had big ideas but I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them at my current exhausted state. But also, when I started building something simpler, I hated it too because I wanted to do something better! Well, this is what came out of it, and it's actually not all that bad I'd say.

30 x 20 lot

CC FREE

Feel free to do whatever you want with this lot but don’t claim it as your own

Maybe let me know if you use it? I’d love to see it!

Download on the Gallery - my ID is veronika2212.

I also put #nikatyler in the description if that helps.

From my favorite 💛

Try out her new CC! You’ll love it!

Colorful Wallpaper, part 1: Red

Yes, I'm making little fake builds for my previews now... Also I'm making a series of wallpaper by color. And I'm glad I learned how to recolor all those years ago, otherwise these wouldn't exist and I cannot live without them anymore. Anyways.

Info and download under the cut:

Base game compatible

24 red swatches

No trim because I'm into no trim wallpapers now

Honestly they're just awesome

Tag me if you use it in your screenies so I can see! And feel free to contact me if there is any issues, so I can fix them. Also, if you like my content, consider buying me a coffee or asking for a commission! It would help me a lot 💖

Major Update to all the Aquatic Plants

These plants will change more during the seasons. These plants now look great indoors. i have added the infant interaction to these. Now these plants have buffs. I edited slots on 3 of these plants, and gave the lotus flowers more color. Last but not least, I have added French translations by OswaNily. I also updated tags on these, and they are compatible with LMS Transfer Inventory mod. If you would like to see some of these changes before hopping into your game, take a look on each plants' individual page through the slideshow. Enjoy!

Your sims photography is So Good! Do you have tips or suggestions for how a beginner should get started? (or like, a basic 101 type guide you can direct to?)

Thank you soo much!! 🫶🏻 Ooh I always have a hard time explaining such things (and I can't remember a guide atm either), but what basics I REALLY suggest are:

Using Reshade

POSE PLAYER POSE PLAYER!!!

The TOOL mod for accurate posing placements

Cranking up your graphics settings to the max

If you use mostly alpha CC, the HQ mod is REAL nice

Using a big screen resolution, or if not possible, SRWE

Creating backgrounds for the photos, and if this process is difficult or too lengthy, then download lots from the gallery.

Plain backgrounds can also look really good!

Taking pics ingame compared to CAS allows for easier and more special angles, especially with the tab key (though CAS pics can also look lovely, but I personally just utilize them rarely)

There's some more things, but I am really tired currently (I should seriously go to sleep...), but I hope this was a bit helpful! If you need tips for something specific, feel free to HMU.

[thatsimslady]

Plant updates! Yay! 💛

Plant updates are in the future for you!

I have finally found a way to make my plants look great indoors instead of the black nightmare that is in the first pic here. This requires me remaking my plants.

I have also been adding more features to how my plants act during the seasons. Plants will now gradually lose leaves or other features during fall, and grow them back in the spring, gradually.

I am also adding buffs. For edible things the buff will be when you eat them, for non edible things the buff is on the plant when you are near it. For the non edible buffs, you will be able to turn them off or on with an interaction on the plant.

These updates are going to take some time to get done.... I have the first set of them ready and will be posting them really soon :)
