Simbic

I play a subsaharan African island called Labadi as my main hood in sims 2! I wanted to share with you some of Labadi’s cultural lore.

Sugar Mama is well known in Labadi for her sweet sweet cooking. Plus, she always has candy to give to the kids around town. That’s how she snagged the nickname Sugar Mama. She has had to cook to survive, raising two boys and taking care of an elderly mama on her own. Through it all, she has successfully operated a “chop bar” - a Ghanaian term for a casual eatery of local cuisine (usually fufu and a variety of soups) for many years. Her chop bar is called Sugar Mama’s of course! Though the spot has some wear and tear…the food is bussin! Period 🤭

Inspired by these photos:

Happy Africa Day and I am excited to continue to celebrate my culture and traditions in game! 🫶🏾

Thank you @sailorjojogames for including me in the line up of simmers celebrating Africa Day together!

GoS reupload time #4: This was my Christmas in July 2013 gift to Dikatze. Here you'll find a bunch of horns as accessories from Skyrim, a retexture/alpha edit of Raon M41, some walls, some eyes (which I re-sclera'd here), some houseplants converted from Oblivion and a helmet converted from Fallout New Vegas (PLEASE BE WARNED: the reflection on this only works if you don't have seasons, which I didn't at the time. it's been on my projects list for years to make another reflection I'm satisfied with but haven't got around to it yet. Still looks alright without though). All meshes included.

THAT SAME OLD NOTE AGAIN: THIS IS OLD CC. The file names are full of unnecessary punctuation such as brackets, dashes and spaces (which was the style at the time). You're probably going to want to remove all of that for optimal file loading times (would recommend a bulk file rename tool). One day I'll get around to replacing the uploaded files but today is not that day.

Like many of us, I grew up with Garden of Shadows. To me, it was more than just a forum. It was a place I could ask for help, learn new skills and, best of all, find amazing content in any style I could possibly want. I loved the board names, the people, the themes; everything, really.

And I admit I was more than a little heartbroken to find it gone.

After mulling it over, I decided that I wanted to preserve what I possibly could. I spent a few hours yesterday running through strategies and ideas about how to best go about it, and the best I could come up with was, well, exactly the same.

So, here it is: the Garden of Shadows mirror forum.

I've only just started, but I hope to add a little bit to it every day. The primary focus will be on preserving all the knowledge and custom content. I'm tackling it myself, but if you feel so inclined, you're more than welcome to join in.

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

I JUST FUCKING SAW, BITCH.

Okay okay, wait let me collect myself.

First, let me say that I'm actually so sad to see it go. It's been a huge part of my time in the sims community. It's a shame that was so sudden. I really loved the community and I think it's a shame that it happened like it did.

With that out of the way.

BITCH, I TOLD YOU. I TOLD ALL OF YOU. I told ALL you motherfuckers exactly what would happen and everyone bitched like "Oh!! Well, WHY would you do this? Especially when it's not like GOS is closing down anytime soon???"

I got hate mail for months. Bitches poured out of the woodwork like "Mmmm I've always hated Billie, just another thing he's done to add him to my shit list" Then HL bitched at me and acted like the scrape cost him a huge amount of case in data usage when that shit was fucking cents on the dollar. I even offered to pay HL back the like 2 dollars that it *may* have costed him to scape.

Well GUESS who fucking took their ball and went home with very little warning?

good talk, chamberlain. good talk

I've always hated how the camera jumps up and down when playing tall and slim buildings. Turns out, it's really easy to fix! It’ll take you less than a minute. All the details under the cut.

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

I don't need or want "credit" for a reblog of someone else's post. If you want to insist on it, you should at least make sure the OP keeps the notes and is not cut off from the conversation happening underneath the thing they've created. They should be able to see who their art has reached.

Also breaking blocking for this was actually just...so bizarre.
