just a quick thing

Something I really love about this community is that it includes so many different types of talented people.

There are…

People who design amazing cc People who build incredible sim lots People who create unique and interesting sims People who write detailed and captivating stories People who take stunning and photographic screenshots People who create beautiful edits People who upload helpful recolors and retextures People who write generous and handy tutorials People who design remarkable look books People who decorate with finesse and skill People who post entertaining and refreshing gameplay It’s all of these different types of people coming together that makes the community so great! It wouldn’t be complete without all of these people working together.

Holy cow that is both amazing and mind-boggling to think about!

This sort of thing is why I’m always dumbfounded when people say things like “It’d be easy enough to just add this thing” or “It’s not that hard to make a game”. There’s a lot more that goes into a game than people realise and it’s a shame that developers are given such a hard time when we should be praising them for their hard work instead. But that’s just my two cents =D

Oasis Springs: A very underrated world.

So… here’s a little idea I’ve been toying with lately. As you guys already know, my computer got infected and hacked due to downloading some CC that was behind Ad.fly links. I lost my Netflix account to hackers and seriously risked losing my PayPal account, too. Needless to say, I won’t be touching an Ad.fly link (or other similar service) with a 10-foot pole from now on.

However, here’s the thing: I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling that finding cc that is not hidden behind a paywall or an Ad.fly link lately is becoming harder and harder.

And this is why I’d like to start an “Ad-free Creators United” project, a database/cc finds blog to make it easier for everyone to find creations that are NOT hidden behind an Ad.fly or Patreon link. To do this, however, I’ll need the help of a few fellow simmers, aka… YOU!

What are you looking for? TS2, TS3 and TS4 players who are willing to help me hunt down FREE custom content for sims games and help me keep the cc finds blog updated.

What does “free” content mean? Any cc creation that is NOT hidden behind an Ad.fly, Shorte.st or Patreon link.

Will this be something like Paysites Must Be Destroyed? Nope. The blog will be solely dedicated to promoting creations that are shared for free (with no Ad.fly or Patreon links) by their original creators. Basically, it’ll be just a cc finds blog for free creations. No re-uploading of pay content.

How do I participate? Send me an ask or a message if you’re willing to help me with the finds blog. Please, only send me your message if you’re ACTUALLY willing to work on this. If you don’t have enough time and/or are unsure on whether you can work on the blog itself, you are encouraged to reblog this post and spread the word around.

Fine, I want to take part to this. How many people do you need? For now, I’ll need:

Last but not least…

Are you a creator who doesn’t use Ad.fly? Get your name added to the database! If you’re a creator and you’re sharing your creations for free, please reblog this post and fill in the following form:

Creator name: Abby Blog url: smubuh.tumblr.com Games you create for: Sims 4 What you create: clothing (bodysuits, shorts, tops, etc.)

As long as one of them is like Seasons, that is a-okay!

man ever since i saw this walk i knew i had to do this..  (song)

Aw, thank you! :D 

Dear Simblr’s/CC Creators that use Adfly and other redirect links to make a little extra change. This is what I’ve been dealing with for the last 20 minutes. Thank god for Avast. I never even got to download either of the items I was trying to, because on top of trying to infect my husband’s laptop, it also redirected me to MORE ads, instead of the download. Over. And. Over. “Just only click the yellow button!” Well, it doesn’t seem that matters anymore, or applies. I will no longer support this sorta thing by downloading from those who use Adfly or similar sites. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered issues with adfly, but it will certainly be the last time.

It keeps freezing my computer! Especially when I download stuff from rinvalee

Having this problem lately too. I totally get that you work hard and want money for your hard work, I don’t blame you as a broke medical student, but at least give us the option to download off a non-ad shorten link site for those of us that can’t handle having problems like above over and over again. I mean, i just had to factory reset my computer over virus problems, really don’t need that again anytime soon. Just think before you link?

Honestly, this. This is exactly why I have the adfly killer extension installed for my browser. Because before I had it, “just clicking the yellow button” would reroute me to another webpage that’d try to infect my computer. Seriously, if you use google chrome, I highly suggest installing it cause it’ll save you a world of misery. Some adfly links won’t be skipped because they’re constantly coming up with re-worded links, but the majority of them do get bypassed.

It’s coming!
