I don't know if my files are compromised (I can't check right now). My files always have an link to MEGA, so for now i recommend you download my cc from there.

Compromised Accounts on SFS

At least two creator accounts on SimFileShare are compromised (SimAndy, TheNinthWaveSim). Downloads may include executable .bat and .exe files (which obviously CC should not!!). For now, consider not downloading from SFS.

I was looking for some images on Pinterest, then i found these paintings by Paul Laurenzi and thought "They look like Angela and Lilith Pleasant!" And now I'm thinking about doing a makeover of them based on these two paintings.

How To Dreamwidth: A Primer

the more friends ask me about dreamwidth, the more i realize i know a lot about this site that isn’t super obvious at first glance. so here is a primer for those of you thinking about making a dreamwidth account. this post ranges from your really basic starter tips to the completely esoteric things that come from using it for a decade.

2023 note: This post was written in 2018. While most of this post is still true, various features may have been changed or updated in the years since.

a what now? dreamwho?

Dreamwidth is a code fork of LiveJournal. A code fork means that they took LJ’s code (which used to be open source) and went their own direction with it. They still use the basic ideas behind LJ’s codebase, but have changed and improved upon it in various ways.

The core difference between DW and other websites is privacy isn’t an afterthought, but the central feature. You can lock posts, filter them to a select group, or make them visible to only you. I recommend reading through this section of DW’s FAQ for more on this.

When you make an account, you can subscribe (ie follow) and grant access to other users. Both of these are one-way – if A subscribes to B, that doesn’t automatically grant B access to all of A’s locked posts. Here’s more on this.

DW in general can be kind of confusing for people who have only used tumblr, but their FAQs are pretty good on the whole, and they’re searchable. If a website feature is confusing, start there.

okay, i have a journal. now what?

Customize it! DW doesn’t have all the latest and greatest features, but you can still make it your own. Here are some useful tips.

You can change your layout from Organize > Select Style. Mobile support is hit or miss, unfortunately, but there are some nice default layouts that work with it. You can also use this style for Practicality which makes DW fully mobile-friendly. If you’d rather design it yourself, Tabula Rasa is completely stripped down.

You can get premade DW layouts at the dreamwidthlayouts community. If you have trouble with your code, ask over at style_system.

Edit your profile! This is where you put your usernames for other social media sites, tell people a bit about yourself, and mention your interests. Your interests will be part of the interest search; it’s one way to find people.

Upload icons! Free accounts get 15 icons; paid accounts get 100 icons, premium accounts get 250 icons. You can use one icon in each entry and commment you make. It’s good form to put the maker of the icon in the comment section if you didn’t make it. If you got it from someone on tumblr, you can even link their blog using the code <user name=username site=tumblr>. (This works all across DW!)

While you can’t make pages, you can set a post to stick at the top of your journal, much like Twitter’s pinned tweets. Here’s how to do it.

You can also change how Dreamwidth itself looks, if you don’t like the red. Go to Account Settings > Display. Most other site display preferences are on that page.

While you’re here, look through the Account Settings > Privacy page. By default, your public entries will be included in site searches. You can turn it off at the bottom of the page if you want. You can also set it so your entries are automatically access-locked or private as well.

This got very long so the rest is behind the cut. (Now you really know I’m legit.)

Some The Sims 4 players are like:

The Sims 2 is the best sims ever!! The Sims 4 could never.

*new dlc is announced*

OMG guys I'm so excited for this new dlc, i know the game sucks, but I need to give my money to EA!!! (And completely forgets about ts2)

playing THE SIMS 2 for the first time in TWENTY years

watch➡️ here

This video is a parody of videos from big Sims 4 creators who post one-off "Going Back to The Sims 2" content. Though I do love The Sims 2 getting more attention from their audiences, a lot of the videos follow the same formula and don't exactly show off the game to its full potential. I thought it'd be fun to poke some fun at them (video made with love of course).

The First days in Woodland - Part 2

Gilbert lost his first job and made a new friend, Addison. They have similarities, same aspirirations, they like to talk about money and live near trees (like everyone in Woodland).

Addison's house is small, but very pretty. Btw, i never used this orange wallpaper, it looks so cozy and matches the orange trees in the garden (which i didn't take pictures). I confess, playing with was kinda boring, the best parts was when i was finding a partner for her.

Since I have the 'notownieregen' mod, I had very few options for playable sims. For some reason, Gilbert and Addison really liked 2 elders from the gardening club, which I have nothing against! Well, unfortunately for Gilbert, I only allow women to have relationships with older men.

She was the first sim to get married in Woodland.

The First days in Woodland - Part 1

Gilbert was hunting bugs in the High Forest (yes all the lots have generic names), and then the insects revolt against him.

At least he caught a beetle.

Also, Gilbert has a dog named Precious and he's such a cute silly boy.

[thatstrangetownkid]

So, I created a custom neighborhood and i didn't share with you all...

This is Woodland, a small town made with the Three Lakes map. I'm doing the ''Build a city'' challenge. Well, not exactly with the same rules and mods, but the idea of ​​building a town from scratch is still there.

Some of the last names have been changed, because I thought they sounded "too real" and I wanted to do something that reflected more of the characters' personalities. So:

Gilbert Huxley to Gilbert Hardhandel (it's a pun with ''hard to handle'', cus he's a grouchy sim.)

Addison Brooks to Addison Bloom (she's shy and like gardening,so i thought about flowers blooming)

Edwin Barnett to Edwin Stonebird (he lives near rocks and likes to watch birds.)

Madelyn Fletcher stayed the same because she end up marring Edwin before i changed her last name. (Her name would be ''Roth Waters'', a pun with ''rough waters''. She likes fishing and is very playful,but also a bit grouchy)

A lot of things happened since then, so I'll post the late gameplay I've been screenshotting over the past few days.

Lola disappeared.

An annoying bug has happened to me. The mail delivery guy couldn't deliver the bills, even using the bat box to nuke "stuck bills". I moved out all my mods and cc and this bug was still there.

In the end i deleted the mail guy and I hope my game is ok now.
