Thank you! ive been very very busy, messages like this makes me want to get back to blogging soon! 

[thehistoricalsim]

So quick update, yes I'm still alive lol

I’ve been very busy moving to a new state and starting college but I’m starting to Sim again, more up dates on my game and new CC in the future!!!!!

[thehistoricalsim]

Ugh this patch

A vent post, ok I’m all about having weather in sims 4 FINALLY!!! But this patch for it UGGGHHH....

I seriously have to trough every mod and get rid of counters (which I don’t understand why) and windows (which I totally get,) did they not think about the mod community at all while making this pack? I really hope sims 4 studio makes a batch fixing for seasons, partly because.....I pirated some petron cc.....hehe

I’m still very slowly working on cc myself but my free time to sim I usually play, now it’s trying to fix my game.....

[thehistoricalsim]

REBLOG if you agree! 

[thehistoricalsim]

omg i saw youre making gone with the wind and i just wanna reccomend colores urbanos on tsr? she has this really full skirt (ampon skirt she calls it) the mesh would be perfect it's nice and full like civil war hoop skirts

I am using some of her CC for my set, thanks for telling me though!

[thehistoricalsim]

the gone with the wind dresses show the arms going through the dress? does this mean it's not sold mesh? like when she sits down the dress won't move or is it the angle?

yes the mesh is not solid, that makes the skirt stay the dome shape with out deforming while her legs move, sitting does look weird but ill talk about that when the set is done

[thehistoricalsim]

beo creations has a few dresses for sims 4 that coould potentially be good for GWTW! (no need to reply to this, just wanted to help!)

I am using BEO’s Cinderella dress, her work is amazing!

Reblog so the scam can end!!!!

Something Bothering Me - Message Addressed to Sims CC Patreons

I don’t have issues with Sims CC creators desiring to get some kind of payback for the work they do.

I’ve dealt with ad.fly (grudgingly–it’s an awful experience and could infect others for barely any return)

I have tolerated and reblogged in the past those who want donations (again, not a huge issue, can be annoying if spammed

I support those who want to put their items on TSR and earn income by those who either download cc from there or buy a monthly pass.

And now there is Patreon. Which has seen an upsurgence in the S3 and S4 community.

While I have no inherent issues with people allowing others to support their work via any of these formats, I do have issue when it comes to gatekeeping content by means of putting CC behind a paywall.

And before I hear “people can do what they like”, yes they can, this is my opinion as a Former/ Retired CC creator and converter.

It’s alienating to many of the community, many young teens and adults. That demographic can maybe afford to support one or two creators, cannot pay $1-3/ avg per creator. It’s not feasible for many.

It’s also manipulative because it’s waving usually very popular content in front of others faces (by those that can afford it) and pretty much saying that unless you buy Into me ($1-2 for maybe one or two pieces of content) you’re getting screwed.

There is no way I’d pay $1-3 for one piece of virtual clothing/skin/whatever for any game, let alone Sims. Yet in this community exclusive cc, particularly clothing shared between friends or ‘popular’ simblrs brings status and further rebloggability for the simblrs they bestow it unto. It’s manipulative.

I have no issue with Patreon or giving money to creators. I have issue when it’s abused.

So the question can be asked, well what do you do instead to get more money in a less gatekeeping/paywall manipulative manner?

I will not say names, but one Simblr in particular has a good idea of how to encourage others to engage and participate in their Patreon but also not gatekeeping the creme Brûlée of their content: Timed Exclusives

Timed exclusives allows those who are willing to give a bit of money upfront to get the content sooner and therefore a slight advantage – the Patron still gets benefit. While those who are unable to pay but want to enjoy the content can still participate and download the content from their favourite creators.

I’ve never believed for myself that I deserved money for my creations (whether original or conversions) but I have tolerated and supported those when I could and support the choice of being able to be paid When it’s fair.

This message is not meant to shame but as a means of saying, Hey maybe consider the alternative of Timed Exclusives instead of gated content.

The only other alternative other than that is others taking your gated content and reuploading somewhere else – I’m old enough to remember the pirate booty during the S2 era.

Instead of leading people to desperation, keep an open mind and maybe consider this point of view

A Sneak Peek At My Gone With The Wind Fashions, WIP!!!!

After I released my Titanic collection I got a few requests to do GWTW, even though it was far down the line in my list of future creations I happened to watch the movie again and that made me want to start this set :)

These are just the first two dresses at the start of the film, STILL WIP!!!!!

Instead of calling the dresses by the names that they have come to be known by I’m naming them after quotes from a scene where you see the dress, “But Ashley loves me!” and “You can’t show your bosom before three o’clock!”

[thehistoricalsim]

Omg pls do GWTW dresses!!!!

I’m going to! I’m working on where to find meshes for some of the dresses

[thehistoricalsim]

Hello I download your Rose dresses from Titanic I'm having a hard time finding where they are in CAS please help

Someone else told me the same thing, the ones I used a custom mesh on are set as a swatch to the original mesh

[thehistoricalsim]

Would you consider making some Gone with the Wind/Scarlett Ohara dresses? There are some nice hoop skirt meshes out there now and I think you'd be the person to make them (love your rose ones!!!)

GWTW is already on my list! Thanks for asking! ☺️

[thehistoricalsim]

I don't know if you're aware of this problem, but I used your Titanic clothing and it made my game crash. I thought it was only a coincidence but everytime I click on Rose's boarding top, my game immediately closes and once I removed all the cc, my game ran fine. It's quite sad, you did such a lovely job. I don't know if you knew and fixed it or what, but I thought I'd let you know anyhow!

You're the fist person to have a crash problem, hhhmmm I'll look into it 🤔
