Just Yesterday I Was Thinking About What Dimensions It Has Assumed. As Soon As They Can Create, Texture

Just yesterday I was thinking about what dimensions it has assumed. As soon as they can create, texture and upload a simple cube, they already have "Buy me a coffee" or "Become my patron". But it does not bother me. You will not see any money from me or a monthly subscription? Never ever! I like to use good CC as long as it is free. I can also make objects myself if I feel like it and have time for it. And then I like to share it with the community. But for me it is a hobby and not a commerce. So I also offer it for free. I do not need patrons, I would enslave myself because I would always have to deliver content. But as already said, they should do it. But what really, really upset me is the users who use foreign content to beautify their Sims or their homes and either share it with the CC and / or even want get paid for it. That's where my tolerance stops! When I create a sim or build a house in the game, it's in my eyes the gameplay. So they want get money for playing the game? What's wrong in their heads?

Something Bothering Me - Message Addressed to Sims CC Patreons

I don’t have issues with Sims CC creators desiring to get some kind of payback for the work they do.

I’ve dealt with ad.fly (grudgingly–it’s an awful experience and could infect others for barely any return)

I have tolerated and reblogged in the past those who want donations (again, not a huge issue, can be annoying if spammed

I support those who want to put their items on TSR and earn income by those who either download cc from there or buy a monthly pass.

And now there is Patreon. Which has seen an upsurgence in the S3 and S4 community.

While I have no inherent issues with people allowing others to support their work via any of these formats, I do have issue when it comes to gatekeeping content by means of putting CC behind a paywall.

And before I hear “people can do what they like”, yes they can, this is my opinion as a Former/ Retired CC creator and converter.

It’s alienating to many of the community, many young teens and adults. That demographic can maybe afford to support one or two creators, cannot pay $1-3/ avg per creator. It’s not feasible for many.

It’s also manipulative because it’s waving usually very popular content in front of others faces (by those that can afford it) and pretty much saying that unless you buy Into me ($1-2 for maybe one or two pieces of content) you’re getting screwed.

There is no way I’d pay $1-3 for one piece of virtual clothing/skin/whatever for any game, let alone Sims. Yet in this community exclusive cc, particularly clothing shared between friends or ‘popular’ simblrs brings status and further rebloggability for the simblrs they bestow it unto. It’s manipulative.

I have no issue with Patreon or giving money to creators. I have issue when it’s abused.

So the question can be asked, well what do you do instead to get more money in a less gatekeeping/paywall manipulative manner?

I will not say names, but one Simblr in particular has a good idea of how to encourage others to engage and participate in their Patreon but also not gatekeeping the creme Brûlée of their content: Timed Exclusives

Timed exclusives allows those who are willing to give a bit of money upfront to get the content sooner and therefore a slight advantage – the Patron still gets benefit. While those who are unable to pay but want to enjoy the content can still participate and download the content from their favourite creators.

I’ve never believed for myself that I deserved money for my creations (whether original or conversions) but I have tolerated and supported those when I could and support the choice of being able to be paid When it’s fair.

This message is not meant to shame but as a means of saying, Hey maybe consider the alternative of Timed Exclusives instead of gated content.

The only other alternative other than that is others taking your gated content and reuploading somewhere else – I’m old enough to remember the pirate booty during the S2 era.

Instead of leading people to desperation, keep an open mind and maybe consider this point of view

Cats & Dogs Painting Replacements

Hi guy’s,

I’m a lover of DaisyTighfield’s huge Painting Replacement Set (http://modthesims.info/d/554439/). I love it to use with my own taste and paintings, only for me.

So, with Cats & Dogs more paintings were added, but Daisy has not been doing anything for a long time. And it always bothered me that the Sims very often draw the infantile Pets paintings. A scribble-scrawl drawing becomes a masterpiece. Umm... seriously? ^^ I have been wondering for a long time how to get the image files. It didn't work with tuning extract, or I'm too stupid for that. But finally I found a way that works.^^ I left 3 paintings in their original state, because I find them fitting and also quite pretty. But they are included in the file. Feel free to exchange the pictures for images of your own taste and possibly offer them for download. But please give me Credit. I hope I can give you a little pleasure with it.

Alternative 'AIKE' Cabinets and Shelves

Hi guys, i'm again. Today I bring you an alternative cabinet and a modular shelf for the Homechef Hustle Kitchen. I've changed the inner corner and for all cabinets the shading. It just annoys me when the inner corner is darker than the rest and when the cabinets don't really match the counters. The inner corner shelf is decluttered und now a piece of the modular shelves. There are 7 pieces like cabinets too. Hope, you'll like it.

It’s time we talk about SimsDom again.

Most of you probably already know who and what Simsdom is but for those that don’t, Simsdom (or SimsDomination) claim to essentially be a CC finds website, which in essence I suppose they are… But don’t get your hopes up for a Lana replacement because they are SO much more than that. And not in a good way.

I know this is an old subject, and most people probably thought it was all over and done with, but Simsdom is still around and what’s worse is that I’ve noticed a growing trend among my fellow Game Changers who create content for Youtuber and Twitch/Mixer of promoting the site by using it to do CC shopping haul videos and streams, which is encouraging their viewers to use Simsdom. I’m not going to name names or point fingers but it made me realise that maybe some people don’t understand just how bad Simsdom is for the community in general, but especially for the amazingly dedicated CC creators of Simblr. And it’s just so disappointing to see people that some many in the community, including myself, look up to promoting this garbage site!

If you’re curious to know why this is a problem, I’ll explain under the cut. If not, keep scrolling… But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
