and then some

Hello everyone. Some of you won't know this but, i am the new "king" of the Custom Content Help Desk that Misschaii started many years ago with some people. I wasn't there then but i was so helpful in my early days that she promoted me to mod status pretty quickly lol. Now, Misschaii has moved on from simblr and left me in charge of the Help Desk.

So this is the SOFT re-launch of the server! I've been trying to fix it up and changing some settings and all that stuff but it's so much that, i think it's best to just do little by little and open the server and work on it bts in the meantime. You'll just have to sit through some changes here and there whenever i get a chance to fix something. When and if i ever get around to a proper run through of all the server settings, i'll do an official re-launch then.

My goal and idea for the future of the server is to add some fun activates, such as monthly cc making challenges. Maybe someone saw the flower wedding attires zeussim posted a couple months back? Or maybe even the flower heels i was working on? Yes that was june challenge lol. But since i am but one admin and mod, it's a lot to work on activities by myself but. I also wanna do some cc making live streams and things like that.

Same stuff as before applies: it's open for all ages (discords own age restriction whatever that is) and for all people who wants to learn AND share their own knowledge. This is a two way street, not a Join Once And Get The Info You Need And Then Dip And Pretend You Spent Hours And Suffered Loss Of Blood Sweat And Tears All By Your Lonesome Self. Knowledge is meant to be shared among everyone! And also, you have to be nice to people and keep drama out of the server. That should all go without saying but, we all know it needs to be said..

If you wish to join you will need to ask for an invite. You can either ask me here on @cookiesandcrumbs or you can ask over at @thefoxburyinstitute as we share the same goal: learning should be fun and for everyone!

Thanks to @whirliko @iliketodissectsims and Cerise for help with the banner lol

Edit 2024-08-09:

Hello! i'd like to make some addons and one announcement!

First, i want everyone to welcome @xldkx as a mod in the help desk! We are all very lucky to have someone with as much knowledge as nik has to share. welcome welcome!

‘I worked 20-hour days to make Naomi Osaka’s Wimbledon dress’

The Japanese designer Hana Yagi created the striking all-white bridal-inspired kimono that drew cheers from the crowd at the All England Club

The Japanese kimono and the traditional western wedding dress are difficult enough to walk in, let alone play tennis. But Naomi Osaka did so anyway, emerging on to Wimbledon’s Court 3 in a gown that was a hybrid of both garments to play a round of practice shots.

The dress, which drew cheers and wolf whistles from the crowd, was the Japanese player’s latest fashion display, following the gold sequinned outfit that she wore at the French Open and her extravagant turquoise and green dress at the Australian Open in January. Her Wimbledon effort was the work of Hana Yagi, a 26-year old Japanese designer, who created it alone in ten days in her studio in Tokyo.

2026 French open, designed by Kevin Germanier in collaboration with Nike:

Yagi was asked to create an outfit for the “walk on”, when players enter the court before the beginning of a match, a well-established opportunity for fashion statements. At the French Open, Osaka compared her sparkling dress to the illuminations of the Eiffel Tower. Her extraordinary Australian Open outfit was inspired by jellyfish.

Australian Open 2026, designed by Robert Wun for Nike:

But Wimbledon imposes strict rules — above all that all clothes must be completely white (Roger Federer once got a telling-off for wearing shoes with orange soles). “First, it had to be all white,” says Yagi. “Visually, [Harper] gave me the image of a kimono or junihitoe [a traditional 12-layered kimono of the Japanese imperial court]. As a part of the concept, they wanted to reinterpret the tradition in the context of sport.”

The vintage wedding dresses she had in her own stock were cream and ivory — shades unacceptable at Wimbledon. She went to shops in Tokyo and bought the pure white western style wedding dress that forms the lower part of the Osaka gown, and a shiromuku, the traditional nuptial kimono in which brides are wrapped for delivery to their new husbands.

It is this, embroidered with brocade images of cranes and cherry blossoms, that forms the upper part of the dress, but drastically restructured to allow freedom of movement. “I didn’t want her to walk with small steps — in this she won’t have any difficulty walking,” Yagi says. “And it’s not like a tight corset, but a dress that Naomi herself can adjust.” Osaka wore her playing dress, created by her sponsor Nike, below Yagi’s creation, so it had to be lighter than a conventional kimono. The other condition was that the player had to be able to put on and remove the dress quickly.

“It was my first experience of that, because all my past works were art pieces, and not really aiming to be functional,” she says. “But this has to come on and off in three minutes. I kept it putting it on myself over and over again to confirm that it worked.” The secret ingredient? Extensive strips of Velcro.

Wondering if anyone can help fix a piece of cc? The creator isn't updating it so damn it, I've been trying and getting nowhere. Its a fridge panel, but it disappears when placed. Doesn't matter where you place it; fridge, OMSP, it just vanishes. Moveobjects doesn't work because I get the "this item can only be placed on certain objects".

WELL! What I'm trying to do is decouple it from "certain objects" and just make it its own object (if that makes sense). I've done what google told me to do in S4S but I'm missing a step because its not working. The object doesn't disappear when I'm moving it around, it just can't be placed. It *does* disappear when on the slotted fridge or omsp.

Warning: It might be a bigger issue if its disappearing, idk, just would really love a second set of eyes on this one.

Day 1 | The Day I Graduated

This photo marks one of the happiest moments of my life. After years of studying Computer Systems Engineering—and after watching war interrupt so many plans—I finally saw these words: "Officially Bachelor in Computer Systems Engineering." It wasn't just a degree. It was proof that even when everything around me became uncertain, I could still hold on to one thing: Education. That day, I made a promise to myself: I wouldn't stop here. Today, that promise has become a Master's admission. But every journey has another mountain to climb, and mine is finding a way to continue. Over the next few days, I'd like to share my story—not just about the challenges I've faced, but about the hope that keeps me moving forward.

Thank you for being here. ❤️ If you'd like to support my Master's journey, you'll find my fundraiser below.

*grade school counts for this, if you still know how to play your instrument

Själv blir jag jävligt arg och ledsen på det här.
