Hi

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

Notifications about missing persons and requests for help

Posts about youth liberation

Posts about sex education

Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented

Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr

Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems

Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content

Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not

Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr

Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual

And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

most kids nowadays don't know what a blog let alone a tumblr is. I had to explain that to my 8th graders when I tasked them to write a blog post in class. None of them knew what that was.

but what they do participate in is sending around child pornography and AI revenge porn of disliked classmates, the latter of which is barely being taken seriously by lawmakers

none of this actually protects kids, they do not give a fuck about kids

Hey Sims fans! The next pre-beta of SimTracker2.0 is ready, and this time it comes with a full manual 📚💡

What’s inside the manual:

⚡ Quick step guide

🗂️ Logical contents table (Clickable)

📸 +80 pages (mostly screenshots, not walls of text!)

Two versions available:

1️⃣ With sample content – test the tool with examples from the game (though accuracy may vary) 🎮

2️⃣ Empty version – start fresh from zero

There’s also a reset button to wipe everything ⚠️ – Make a backup first! Use at your own risk!

💡 Note: If you don’t have Microsoft Access, check the included Read Me to know what to do.

I’ll be using this tool soon in my own gameplay:

💰 Adding budget data for my families

⏳ Testing current age

🗓️ Playing with advance calendar

It’s not a full SimTracker 2.0 yet, but all the essential features for budgets and sim tracking are ready. After +2 months of building, I can’t wait to finally use it… backups included, of course! 💾

If anything in the manual isn’t clear or seems missing, let me know so I can update it for everyone 🛠️

I saw a reddit comment about the “actual alcohol” mod where they didn’t like how “unrealistic” it was for Sims to pull a ring out of thin air without paying for it.

Girl.

Maxis coded these characters to pull a mop out of their ass.

And you’re going to complain that a HILARIOUS and INVENTIVE mod is not realistic enough?

Gtf outta here. The more days go by, the greater I resent Simmers. Majority of them, anyway…

🧡 SimTracker 2.0 — Pre-Beta Update! Now With Even More Sim-Sanity! 🧡

Fifteen days later, SimTracker 2.0 has gone through a serious glow-up — especially in the SimTracker 2.0 section. There’s a whole new page added, and now everything up to Deceased finally has its own place to live (or, well… afterlive).

The Sim page is currently the most advanced — tons of new functions added, though not everything’s in yet. Think of it as a work-in-progress Sim: lots of personality, still learning how not to set the kitchen on fire.

Here’s what’s working so far:

🧠 Look up a Sim

🏠 View household members

👆 Click a member to jump straight to their page

✏️ Edit Sim IDs

🔁 Switch to another page and come back — the last shown Sim will still be there waiting (loyal little pixel, isn’t it?).

The next step is bringing these features to Pets, Deceased, and Deceased Pets — they’re catching up, slowly but adorably.

All the current data is sample data, just for testing. It’s there so you can get familiar with the layout and features. Everything will be wiped clean before the official release.

The grand plan: export everything possible from SimPE, sync it with SimTracker 2.0, and then fill in all the juicy details that SimPE can’t grab.

🐞 Found a bug? 💡 Got an idea? Toss it my way — feedback makes this thing smarter (and slightly less glitchy).

Because your Sims deserve a tracker as obsessive as you are.
