Bee Happy

Thanks to @rainbowsalt4069 I realized I did not have any of my links posted or pinned on my tumblr. Hindsight and all.

So here is my linktree that has them all, including the current Masterlist that hasn't been updated in a while - though it still has mine and WHs stuff there.

TLDR at end of post.

It's been... ages. I have been slowly reintegrating myself into internet activity even if rejoining or becoming more active in gaming communities is still on the backburner.

My life has been a slow, exhausting uphill battle this past year. My mental health is fluctuating constantly, my ADHD and meds have been making me crazy, my projects are overwhelming, I lost my Great Dane of 9 years to cancer, and I still can't find a job (partly my fault though, circling back to mental health. It's habit now that's hard to break).

Regardless, I am slowly creeping back into various things. My learning progress for web dev is going steady if not in 50 different directions, I am Redoing the entire Beehive website to be both better for the Masterlist, as well as adding a Resource section, a Blog, and a Contributors signup/login.

It's a huge project! And is keeping me thoroughly distracted.

I've also gotten into gardening and hydroponics this past year that's taken a lot of my attention!

Anyways, I would love some feedback for any Sims 4 CC Creators out there - even if we have bad blood between us, or don't like each other, or you don't like me - whatever the case - this ask isn't for me but for the Community.

I need to know who I am missing on this list of Sims 4 Equine CC Creators.

So, please pass this along even if you are not a creator but know someone who is.

Let me know your activity level, if you want to be on the list, or be removed etc... again, it isn't for me but for everyone because this will be the Creator List for The Masterlist of Sims 4 Horse CC.

Eventually I'll be branching out to Sims 3 too, but I'd like to finish the Sims 4 stuff first and I'll probably reach out to EquailtySims for sims 3 stuff anyways.

On the next note, and sorry for such a LONG post, I would like to gauge interest in who would like to be a contributor and/or author in the Blog/Tutorial part of The Beehive website.

I have not decided if the blog will be the same as the guides/tutorials section yet but what I have decided is that the Tutorials will not just be about Sims 4 but about any gaming or coding or programming or artistry out there basically if you can do it on a computer, you can submit a tutorial.

The Blog will be more for personal posts you don't mind the public seeing, suggestions, reviews, feedback, tips and tricks, other areas of interest etc.... kinda like Tumblr. 😅

So yea, BIG project! Im not sure when the website will be released to the public. I'll post a rough Roadmap here soon so you guys can see what I'm planning.

Anyways, get the word out if you don't mind! Pass it on. Let me know and love you guys! Keep carrying on and -

I posted this on my Instagram too but for those who do not use insta - WIP of more stencils as I slowly get back into things. This is a very early preview of things I'm dabbling with. Roan stencils, and more leopard stencils if I can make myself happy with them. I'm having trouble getting the spots correct with hair growth.

I have about a million other ongoing projects right now too so I have no idea when any of this will be released. I may just release it with my new and improved version of The Beehive which is being moved off of wix and onto its own server etc with all sorts of goodies. That's probably a few months away though so we will see.

As far as plans go for stencils (I will make another post about the hive and it's upgrade later on) this is what I've got in mind currently:

Roan Stencil (at least 2, heavy corn roan + faint or light roaning)

Leopard Stencil (minimal blanket, full leopard, snowcap or full blanket)

Overo (I have ideas ok so I don't know how many)

Splash (prob only 2 or 3, one being minimal)

I may also make some more brushes for these. Not quite sure yet. It seems most people have learned how to paint horses outside of CAS these days so I am unsure how useful brushes and stamps for CAS would be? Again, just some possibilities and future plans.

I still am heavily invested in my own mental health at the moment so I have not rejoined any communities (tho I have not left any discord ones either - i am simply inactive) yet and I am unsure if I ever will. Word of mouth says there is new drama and lots of drama and I jsut can't do thst.

Consider me Switzerland. I have been friendly with people on both sides. I have a limit and I have standards but... I just cannot go through it again for my own piece of mind. So please do not try and include me on drama. Appreciated. <3

(I am SWITZERLAND)

Enough chatter! I could go on and on but that's what blogging is for, not this post. See you guys later!

If you mod the Sims 4 or actually play the game (instead of just living in CAS or Build mode like me) then you have to know who Zero is. Either way, Zero made a tutorial post on how to organize your mod folders the way Skyrim does for modding! I never thought of doing it this way before and I feel a little bit dumb because of it.

I mean, wow - why have I never tried this before?? There is a little bit of coding involved here either the .bat file part, but it's explained pretty well and you could always skip that part. It's mostly for automating renaming instead of doing it manually.

Anyways, check out the post Zero made and see for yourself!
