A little checkpoint for whoever is interested 😊 I never post about it, but I do have a couple of feeds to organize my stuff a little.
If you'd like to catch up, now that we're just about halfway through the first rotation of Pleasantview, you can give this feed a scroll 💚🫰

I believe so, just like going on strike 'til your demands are met, y'know. But I have very little faith in the sims community to pull something like that off, unfortunately 😅 A new pack comes out, people stand their ground for a week or two and then fold, cause the anger wears off and fomo kicks in.

THIS THIS THIS!!

boycotting and protesting something you care about is often very uncomfortable and/or super inconvenient, but it's a short term price for (hopefully) long term change.

Kechi @obigem.bsky.social · 12h

The fact of the matter is if you're boycotting on the behalf of something you love it's going to be hard and uncomfortable and I don't think many people understand that inherent aspect of protesting because too many people are used to just being complacent and not caring about most things 🤷🏿‍♀️

Anyways, happy Sunday! 🌞 The sun is shining, it's cold as balls outside and I have sims 2 clothing to default!

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

There's a big difference between playing a game you already own, and continuing to spend money on said game. Holding someone accountable is often a sign that you genuinely care - blindly supporting ANYONE does more harm than good. Someone can be an asshole, and still have valid points.

Two things can be true simultaneously. Critique is not necessarily hate and shouldn't always be shrugged off as such. I think it's super fair that people in the EACN are held to a different standard. Just because something is worse, doesn't mean this isn't also bad.

I keep writing and deleting paragraphs about the EA boycott discourse, cause I feel like I don't see many sharing thoughts similar to mine, but I also have no desire to argue with people on the internet, and waves are a little high atm.

So, I'll be vague and say this:

how does pinterest see you? separately search for:
— fashion
— pantone
— mood
— food

... accurate.

OH!! 😯 I'll have to try this out!

Thank you so much for the update! 🫶

Both of the girls also rolled wants to get part-time jobs, so Angela is now a Waterperson in the Athletic Career, and Lilith is a Record Store Clerk in the Music Career.

I actually super enjoy Angela and Lilith's contrasting personalities, it's so interesting to play.

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 1d

Lilith kept getting wants to buy different musical instruments, which I am choosing to interpreting as her wanting to make noise in the house where no one is really talking.

It also gives her a bit of an outlet for her feelings in the shape of distorted punk rock 🤘😌

(The maxis beard not matching up with Daniel's defaulted hairstyle weirdly fits his character somehow and idk why)

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 1d

Look at this damn fool, acting like this isn't just the consequences of his own actions 🙄

Don't be so dramatic, Daniel! You're embarrassing the kids.

Mr. Daniel Pleasant, everybody 👏👏👏🙂

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 1d

Our cooperate baddie, Mary-Sue, was fired from her job, cause I fucked up her scripted chance card, and because this woman has a sixth sense, she BOLTED directly into the bedroom and caught her husband with the maid 🥴

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 1d

As the enabling watcher that I am, I let Daniel act on his wants towards the maid 😌

I also really loved seeing Kaylynn's face again - and there will be no Kaylynn slander in my house! If girlie wants to sleep with all her clients, then who am I to stand in her way.

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 1d

Buckle up, pals! We're entering the war zone 🫡

I don't remember putting much thought into this family dynamic when I was a kid, but as an adult this household pisses me off, cause WHY ARE Y'ALL ACTING LIKE THIS?! The girls are fighting, parents aren't communicating, emotional neglect.. it's a mess.

To me it just happened one day (presumably after some update) I opened my legacy household and two of my male sims suddenly had this, and a woman in another household had it too. I've run so many different cc pieces through s4s, but it's still happening. I just kinda gave up in the end 😅

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 3d

mine did not! also, I'm 99% sure this started happening to me before that pack was released 🥲

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 3d

same, gurl.. every time I thought I'd fixed it, it showed up again 🥴

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 3d

it's SO weird! 😩

I'm sad you're experiencing it as well, but it's ALMOST a little nice to see I'm not alone 😅 if I ever find what's causing mine, I'll make sure to give an update just in case! 👍

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 3d

quote posting this in case anyone has an idea.

I've had (still have) the same issue, I checked and "fixed" so many different pieces of cc, hoping I finally found the culprit, but I still have this issue regularly - it even happened once when I went "vanilla" and all I had was skin and eyes 🙃

RavenSim CC @ravensim.bsky.social · 4d

I just want to play my game 😭
Anyone happen to know what's causing this?

(I know about the 50/50 method, just seeing if there's a known mod that does this)

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 10d

doing my best 🫡 thank you 🧡

ZimZut 🍂✨ @zimzut.bsky.social · 10d

appreciate you 🧡

I had a health scare this week (I'm okay), saw a doctor today and everything seemed fine.
It spiked my anxiety to all hell tho and I'm feeling the aftermath of that now, so I'll see you in a few days, when I'm no longer nauseas, have slept properly and this headache is gone 😅

stay cute 🤭😘

I just realized the only picture I have of Dirk is the one with Lilith! I can tell you that Dirk's hobby is tinkering, so I got him an old car, which he spent a lot of time working on! He also wanted to get a job, so I honestly didn't see him much, which might be why I'm lacking pictures 😅
