Hi. This is a very random before-sleep thought but I need to share it. I have genuinely been wondering for forever why people release event-themed CC for public after the actual event. I know the short answer is « money », but if that’s true… are they really that bad at marketing?

And then I realize… yes, they are. They do not understand how things work. Think about it. How often do you see a creator’s « April CC collection » with a public release date on May 2th? Like, if a creator who does that sees this… sorry to tell you but for the vast majority of people that’s your May collection. And if the collection is Easter themed (this is an hypothetical, I haven’t seen anyone do Easter CC this year), very few of us need Easter CC in May. Of course it will trigger some people’s FOMO and they’ll want to get it ASAP so they can make their edits… but it also makes you look bad to non-paying people, aka potential customers.

Meanwhile… if you put that April Easter-themed collection up for early access in March, with a release date 1-2 days before Easter, the people who can afford to pay will still do it, cause 1-2 days is a short time to plan out a lookbook or edit, AND the people who don’t pay (which are the majority) will still have a little bit of time to put something together, and you will be getting exposure from the increased public use of your stuff. It will also make you look good, which matters more than some seem to believe.

Anyways, I don’t see how this isn’t obvious? Trying to be capitalists is making a lot of these people earn less than they could.

I still am 100% against early access by the way. It’s just, if you are gonna do it… at least do it well?

Hi simblr.

I am a simblr with a bit over 1000 followers, and 99% of my notes for my cc (and about 30% for my gameplay) come from other people reblogging my stuff. And we have all (myself included) reblogged an edit/photoshoot/lookbook from an unknown simblr with just « pretty! » as a post text. So if you don’t see the problem with this thing… this will kill small simblrs even more.

I took a step back because most people have stopped trying to find new simblrs to follow years ago. For cc, they stick to the same handful of unethical creators. For gameplay/stories, they stick to their mutuals and mayyyyybe whomever their favourite storytellers recommend.

At this point in time, it is disheartening to put our time and effort into something that we know only a handful of people will see… but we keep doing it, because this is a hobby and notes aren’t the main focus. And in my case cause I have a toxic relationship with this hellish website but that’s not the point here.

HOWEVER I draw the line at bigger creators who are already hoarding visibility benefitting from MY notes instead of me.

I might go vanilla for a while

Sorry for yelling, i needed to make sure i had the attention of the like 700 of you who skip 90% of the posts cause you just want cc. Anyways, I seem to be unable to fix my life… so i might attempt to fix my cc instead. Or maybe just… improve it.

So, is there any item of mine that could use improvement or a redo in your opinion? Can be anything from fixing tags or cleaning textures to adding swatches you find lacking or even making an addon! I have a better skill level now, and i know some of my older stuff is… yeah.

I have an urge to overhaul everything and make my it all better but i don’t want to waste time on items nobody uses, so i am asking your opinion!

Thankies!
