I am dealing with a lot in real life and without going into too much detail, I am in need of some financial assistance to help cover the costs of a family law attorney, apartment repairs and more.

If anyone wants to commission a sim or a lot for the Sims 3, then you are welcome to do so. Sims will be $5 per sim, lots $10 per lot if commissioned.

Any free stuff I share with the Sims 3 community will remain free, but will have a "buy me a coffee" link added in case anyone wants to help.

"I would rather spend one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone." — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Since the house I was working on got at least eleven votes to upload, I finally finished it and it is ready to be shared with the Sims 3 community. There are two bedrooms with closets, two bathrooms (one full, one half), a laundry/ mud room, backyard complete with veggie garden and outdoor dining, and a kitchen.

With the exception of the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room and closets, it is pretty unfurnished. I did make sure that the windows had blinds and curtains, there were fire and security alarms placed, and everything should be accessible for sims with no routing issues.

There is custom content used and all credit goes to the proper individuals. That said, if anything is missing, please feel free to reach out and I can help you locate it.

• Any custom content I share will always be free. No Patreon, Adfly, etc. FREE!!!

• If you see a "Buy Me a Koffee" link on my posts, there is ZERO obligation to donate. It's just there as a means to allow people who like my posts or content to do something nice if they feel like doing so. Not a requirement or obligation. Just kindness.

• I take ZERO CREDIT for anything that I did not outright make myself. If I make a pose or a piece of furniture cc that is one thing.

• If I use AI, it's usually chat gpt or something as a learning resource for something I don't know how to do. I am not using it to make things for me. Besides, I try to avoid using it unless I can't find the answer myself using a book or Google, or even asking someone who might know. That doesn't mean that I am going to allow bullying of any kind for it.

• My Simblr blog is supposed to be a safe space. You can send me a pm or an ask. If I don't reply right away, you can trust I will respond as soon as I am able. I am a single mom and a college student.

• I am fully supportive of those who are LGBTQ+ and of those of various faiths. As long as you don't push your beliefs on others and are respectful, you have my support.

• If for some reason I don't particularly care for someone's content, I am not going to go out of my way to call them out or slander them across social media. I don't have the energy for that and it's a horrible thing to do.

• I rarely edit my posts. But if I edit, I use Canva (free version), photopea or Adobe Creative Cloud. Nothing super fancy is done either.

At the end of the day, we are all human. We make mistakes and eventually we learn from those mistakes and grow. In the Simblr community, the majority of us (from my understanding anyways) are adults and have an unspoken obligation to lead by example and harbor a safe space for all in the community.

By no means do we have to go out of our way to love or like everything of everyone's content. Everyone has different tastes, but it's the right thing to at least be respectful and kind to others. The world in reality is very dark and rather scary these days. So, at the very least a small act of kindness can very well make a difference in a stranger's life.

Some progress on the build I mentioned in my last post. It is turning out so cute. It will boast a large living room with grand fireplace, open floor plan kitchen with pantry and breakfast nook dining, mud room/laundry room, two bedrooms with closets, fenced in back yard with outdoor dining and veggie garden, and a bathroom.

I have been working on building a new house in the Sims 3 for Cape Garner Isle. In fact, I have been using the floor plan you'll see below that I found on Pinterest:

Just because you don't agree with someone else's views, how they do things etc., does not give you the right to publically announce on social media how against how someone else does something or that you don't agree with their views.

It also doesn't give you the right to go out of your way to attempt to spread hatred and obtain a following to cast out or bully an individual into leaving a community.

Bullying, Harassment or going out of your way to express your views in a way that makes a person not feel welcome in a community is toxic, unacceptable and uncalled for. Your age, how long you have been in the community and so on is irrelevant.

The Sims community on Tumblr has gone severely downhill since I joined originally back in 2017 and I am ashamed to see the kind of environment that has been created for the community.

If you don't agree with someone using AI to help them learn how to do something, that is fine. If you don't agree with someone doing Sims 4 or Second Life conversions? Cool. What is not okay for any reason, is public calling out (even if indirectly), bullying, or attempting to force someone to leave the community simply because you don't like them, their views, or how they do things.

Thankfully I have not seen many posts the last couple weeks that need a reminder, but I have seen one or two on top of hearing from a friend of mine who has expressed concerns about a specific situation that calls for this PSA.

Hello, lovelies!

Yes, I know it has been a hot minute since I last posted here on simblr. But,... in my defense I was left unsupervised life decided to kick my rear and not in the fun, pleasant way.

I am glad to be able to play Sims 3 again and even be able to stream, but I am currently (technically, anyways) homeless as I am struggling to come up with the money needed to move into my new apartment. I am actively working on it and to be fair, I dug myself a pretty gnarly hole that I feel obligated to bust my fine booty off to fix my life situation. Not easy, but doable.
