Like, are people insane? You don't complain about free labour, if you are unhappy, you learn yourself how to do it better. You don't talk about piracy in the official social media of the thing you're pirating. Just because they haven't been caught doesn't mean they won't be, so you shut the fuck up and say thank you.

It's amazing how in the span of 6 months people managed to fuck up the updater, then the content creators, then the font of piracy altogether. Truly the devil works hard but TikTok works harder, fuck you all.

I am so tired of people on TikTok being dumb as fuck and entitled as all hell at the same time. What the fuck happened. We used to learn things for shits and giggles. There used to be a hacker in every classroom, they used to build viruses for fun, just because they could. We used to root smartphones to get around factory restrictions and properly customize our phones. Now people can't even move a file from one folder to the other without breaking shit, and then they complain about how the instructions weren't good enough. When you don't know something in the instructions, you RESEARCH IT SO YOU UNDERSTAND BEFORE FUCKING WITH IT. It's LITERALLY that simple.

Yeah... Anadius took everything down. If you just re-download the sims and wanna 🏴‍☠️ some dlcs, I recommend still using his DLC unlocker which thankfully still works (as of right now) because it'll come in handy when downloading the dlc files :) ! download ♡ :

working as of 11/21/2025

lokepub (sends you to scam website often btw)

anna’s archive

internet archive (some books locked under patrons with special needs)

oceanofpdf (used this when I was a wee lass, got taken down but might be up again?)

PINTEREST!!! I have found a link to a Google drive with all the shatter me books there (even though I don’t read the series) and that’s where I found kisskh!

Movies/Shows:

kisskh (movies mostly, loml because it has game of thrones)

YouTube (might have some illegally or for free w/ads)

Sims 4:

anadius (As of 11/20 no longer working permanently)

easier access to dlcs thru creators like PersolCreates- follow his tutorial

SO DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use the wayback machine to access previous versions of his stuff and pirate the sims. DONT DO IT!!!

edit: also https://mirror.anadius.cc/sims-4-updater for those who want an alternate method.

BUT I still managed to get the latest version working.

Through some posts here and on Reddit I managed to recover the download drive for the updater and the DLCs via the Wayback Machine. YOU WILL NEED BOTH.

Even if the mod says it’s permanently closed, you can still launch the updater from the terminal and it works anyway!

Now, we know Anadius has already pulled a stunt like this before and then came back, so let’s hope this update works long enough until he returns (given that he’s practically worshipped like a god, I doubt he won’t come back), or that someone else takes his place. Because not everyone is able to pirate the files on their own, and saying ‘then just do it yourself’ is pretty simplistic and honestly a bit arrogant.

I have more than decent computer skills, I’ve been using it since I was 4, now I know HTML, I can use programs like Blender as a self-taught user but I don’t know jack shit about terminal commands or even more complex stuff.

I can, however, follow instructions when they’re provided for installing this kind of software.

(Please read and fully understand the meaning of this part, because apparently some of you had misunderstanding it.)

(Still, I have to say that quitting because ‘people keep asking stupid questions’ is kind of stupid in itself… I mean, I worked in a gelato shop for years, people always asked me the same questions even though they could’ve easily read the signs, and yet it never crossed my mind to shut down the gelateria because ‘customers keep asking the same stupid questions.’ The harassment reason makes much more sense, because the guy has a life outside the internet and didn’t immediately update the new DLCs.)

(“Yeah but Marcel, you can’t compare working in an ice cream shop to what he did!!1!1 he put himself at risk of jail by doing something illegal for trashpeople like you!!!1?1”

And that’s exactly the point: I was obliged to be polite and not walk every customer who asked absurd questions straight to the door. Instead, no one forced him, it was his own choice to put himself in potential danger (which, for the record, I actually support and admire, because I think EA is the real thief with the stuff they want us to pay for, just to be clear!) BUT precisely because you’re playing Robin Hood in this situation, you have a DUTY toward the people you’re helping. And disappearing and shutting everything down just because “ugh, you keep asking stupid questions” is honestly imo… stupid.

I’ll say it again: if the main reason of the ragequit had been the harassment, he would have had my full support. But the primary motivation seemed to be “you’re all stupid, I won’t keep doing this for you idiots” and in that case, no, I don’t agree)
