Imagine being such a wuss that you had to make a whole ass anon account where you say shit like this:
Tumblr media
Then going on to accuse the people you're attacking of literally being nazis?
Tumblr media
Sorry lovebug but the second you go around chatting shit implying other creators child molesters you don't get to play the "mUh OpiNioN" card.
Also ever notice how most of their callouts are just calling black sims (and their features, mind you) ugly?....I'm not saying anything but....you know....if it quacks like a duck.
There are really problematic simmers putting their child characters in tube tops and fishnets but clearly this isn't meant to point out any real community issues. They're just going after popular blogs for the attention.
Boohoo someone typed a mean word to you. Grow up already. Don't go around being a dickhead and maybe you won't get backlash that's not too hard to comprehend. No one took control of your hands and forced you into making your trash-heap of a blog. That's YOUR fault, take accountability for YOUR actions.
(Also, just a petty aside but like-- get off your ass for once and find a new reaction image? If you're going to make a hate blog at least fucking try. How are you going to be both an asshole and a failure at what you do; pick a struggle dude)

TW: Stalking, suicide, death, death threats, Zoophilia, Pedophilia, etc.
This is a long read. Sorry about that. I have lots of thoughts.
A Little Background for Those Not in the Know Regarding Sims "for profit" Modding Drama.
Okay, so I know I've already kind of talked about the implications of the new policy a little, but I haven't really talked about what I personally think about it. This seems like a good time though. I don't really expect many people to read this all the way through but honestly, I just wanted to say something about it.
As some of you know I was the old head of DHM (Dollhouse Mafia) and original founder. I stepped down a while ago because I was spreading myself too thin on personal projects and also, I didn't like the way things were going. I have nothing but good things to say about the current leadership, but it just personally wasn't worth it to me. ANYWAY, that being said, I wanted to put my thoughts about how the community has changed regarding its stance on pay content and how it used to be
So back in the days of TS2 PMBD acted as a receptacle for all pay custom content to be leaked. TSR, way back, was the biggest pay site in the community with several other smaller pay sites that specialized in hair or clothes. These sites generally had a specific style and very obviously made their own content. I couldn't tell you how much creators made but I know that other than TSR users it wasn't a huge amount.
So, The Sims team has pretty obviously always had a love/hate relationship with pay content. Even though it seems to have cooled they used to be VERY close to TSR. I know that they've always had a policy against pay content but it's never been enforced really. Like I said though, the only people who seemed to be making BIG money from non-passive income was TSR.
The reason that I bring this up is that I think the reason that things went so wrong isn't because of pay CC. I'm against pay CC and I always will be, we can talk about paying artists all we want but at the end of the day this is a hobby and if you're trying to use it as your main source of income you're in the wrong but I digress...
EA's Relationship with for profit CC
Fun fact, Patreon was actually started by the voice actor that played Teen/College aged men in TS2. I suspect that he got the idea from watching The Sims community try and set up their own personal online shopfronts and figured there was a way to do it better. I also suspect that many people who worked within The Sims Studio were pro-paysite because it created a demand that kept The Sims brand in people's minds. If people were making a living off of it then it was always being bought and you had people who basically HAD to buy it because that's how they made a living.
When talking about his new NFT (gross.) project Will Wright actually mentioned that one thing he didn't like was that piracy was taking place when Sims players were creating pay CC and others would pirate it. I suspect that the only reason they kept the policy they did was in case creators would make something that rivaled the studio in terms of quality (which according to Don Hopkins was an actual concern and part of the reason that EA's CC tools weren't super powerful, we couldn't create anything "too good")
Like anything to do with money, I think people who were mostly outsiders to the community realized that they could maximize profits through unsavory means such as flipping meshes quickly and reselling them from 3D modelling websites.
The problem is this created a flood of people who started using The Sims as their SOLE income and they began making good money too. Enough that they wouldn't easily be able to make that amount doing anything else without a serious career change.
Low Quality, Quick Profit, Unruly Community
So remember how EA decided they wanted to reach out and start the Game Changer program for the better by doing outreach to players by trying to interact with the community online. Then very recently they were like... trying to start a "sims social platform"? Yeah EA isn't really crazy about the fact that we're a self-sufficient community.
Most other gaming communities that have player made content tend to try and keep that player made content in an official store of some kind. Both so they can monetize it and use it as a selling point and also so they can control what can be done with it. Roblox is a GOOD example of how companies tend this sort of thing to play out. Communities that exploit creators and allow companies to control the player content, so everything aligns with the "brand".
Now, I'm just a person who REALLY likes The Sims and knows a lot about it so take it with a grain of salt but I suspect that EA is trying to find a way to keep us under better control. They've likely seen the messy fights that the patreon creators have been getting in. They've also definitely heard about the wide-spread availability of not just sex mods but sex mods that allow for pedophilia/zoophilia.
People can act like this has happened before in The Sims community but not like this. Before people were getting legal threats here and there and a few people were doing some bad stuff with the game but now we're talking doxxing, half of 4chan has started using The Sims as a sex playground, and people are making crazy money from it. EA was willing to overlook sex mods but I doubt they want a replay of the Jack Thompson case or to get the bad press that Habbo of Secondlife got for being bastions of pedophilia and perversion. It used to be that TSR was one company that made a lot of money and acted like a company acts to protect their business interests. However, now you have several HUNDRED people who were using The Sims as a get quick rich scheme and they were willing to attack community members to keep themselves living well. Not all of them, mind you, but it is an issue.
I suspect EA is worrying how this will look for the brand. It was okay when we were all creating a few mods and making pocket change from custom content. But now, because we've all been content creators we're getting better at it and it's causing problems (TM) for EA.
Both because their overlooking of pay content has backfired as it became more of a business AND because their players started becoming skilled enough to create things that both rivaled their own content and sullied their brand for outsiders and started attracting more and more unsavory types (cough cough ColonolNutty).
TL;DR: EA did this to themselves. They wanted the community to create for their games but didn't consider the outcomes of monetizing it. Now no matter what they do, some group will be mad at them. No matter what they do it's going to result in bad press... And you know what?

I really wanna make a YouTube video chronicling old simblr - the drama, the old creators and popular sim styles, scandals, niche inside jokes, etc. The fall of sssvitlans. I’ve already started making a list but I’m worried it’s going to be too close to my perspective - would anyone be interested in helping me out?
Some topics I’m interested in:
The alpha vs maxis match wars
The clayified hair era
CC stolen for other sites etc
Mesh included vs not - crediting original creators
Paywall scandals
The everyone hates lilsimsie era + other simtuber scandals
Simsecret
The mayberries blush hyper saturated era
The no cc era
The rendering + reshade era (kinda still going 2 this day)
WickedWhims + the fucked up content on there
EA fumbles (I’m talking no pools, no toddlers, the gender update where opposite gender clothes fucked up the frame of the sim, the skintone update where the darker skin tones had red glitchy spots on them and more)
General lingo! Wcif, legacy etc etc
The wisps in maxis match hair era
And the general (rightful) babygirlification of certain sims (I’m looking at u Johnny Zest and Don Lothario)
Popular creator timeline - who was popular when, how their sim style changed trends etc!
And, of course, the burning of the library of Alexandria, I mean, the fall of sssvitlans
Information about any sims game or era is welcome! I am taking any information I can get. I wanna make this as comprehensive as I can! ‘
Thank u -S

Okay I've been thinking this all week and everytime I see a post with links to some paywallers cc the thought grew stronger but I'm honestly not sure if Simblr is ready for this opinion and I'm afraid of opening a can of worms but here goes.
I really think the community should be moving towards just not even trying to download paywallers cc. Even if you are pirating it, someone had to pay for it and your use of it is going to provide free advertising for them. We need to cut the supply off, dry up their customer base. Many of you said the community doesn't need cc creators who are just in it for the money. If that's true then please put your money where your mouth is and stop using their cc. If we don't need them in the community then we don't need their cc!

unfortunately in this world there are weirdos who thrive on negativity. i would advise to block/ignore them but i know it’s unrealistic considering they continue to stick to a certain person/topic like nasty gum and refuse to let go. best we can do is hope they find help within the grass

Little drama update: Simblrhonesty is trying to cover their ass now.
Since they're deleting posts where they either: made false accusations, said something racist, implied someone had some kind of illness, or just really anything damning really.
Yooniesim did end up seeing what they posted before it was deleted, but I do ask that anyone viewing my posts not tag the original creators. I'm not saying this because I think they couldn't handle all these weak insults but because not everyone wants to see this kind of thing. Unless they're asking to know if they've been featured then let those simmers be.
Don't force anyone into addressing this person. By this point I'm just documenting and archiving things for later reference. I can't imagine anyone genuinely liking this content (because it's soo ass.....like really it's worse than anything they've called out) but I'm not going to spread any theories.
Just very suspicious how they have all these adoring fans you know....anywho.
Here's the slop I found:
Tumblr media
Once again implying another creator is mentally ill for...having a thing for catboys?. See we didn't learn from yesterday but alright.
Tumblr media
One of their examples of "right" black people (they seem to think all black people have to look like either celebrities or super models to be "good")
Oh and here's one that's totally not racially charged at all...
Tumblr media
Sorry we don't all look like the two black celerity women you know. Anyway here's another where Simblrhonesty makes an attempt to seem woke or something?.....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and this only took me five seconds but check it out:
Tumblr media
Literally one of the stock photos I've found, nothing about this is outlandishly whitewashed the way they claim. No concept of what a real black person would look like outside of the few celebrities they know.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again they display their ignorance regarding black women and style because all it takes is one search and...
Tumblr media
Yeah. Pretty poplar style. Also all black women are Doja Cat I guess?.... anyway.
That's all my documenting for today. What have we learned from Simblrhonesty?:
All black men just either look like a professional model or Ice Cube
Lip liner and blonde hair is only for Doja Cat
The only reaction photo they have is of Billie Eilish
Having kinks is wrong and if you have one you should krill yourself if you have any
Being naked is gross and impure (didn't include that one because it was literally just tasteful nudity. Not worth breaking it down)
Oh and also I'm a bitch?:
Tumblr media
No comment on the false pedo accusations it seems. But hey let me just delete my post with those claims in them and claim kinky accounts are run by sick criminals. Surely those are different right?
Look at me I'm progressive! but also your black sim's lips are too big and consensual sex is immoral. Girl.
That's all for today. You'd all be better off ignoring this clown.
(once again, please don't tag any of these creators. Simblrhonesty will stoop that low but I'm not going to. Regardless of your views on "wrong" and "right" simming this isn't cool. Don't encourage it.)

hey, does anyone have any knowledge about this situation with @mack3030? I can’t find anything and this person refuses to post receipts, if they have any. this was under my post about miiko and i’ve been confused ever since. I’d like to know so I can adjust my posts referencing them accordingly. Thanks :)

Stumbled across this little nugget during my early morning cc shopping and was utterly confused
Tumblr media
I'm not a huge drama person but allegedly this person has been seen casually flirting with transphobia and overall has been quoted as being an "unpleasant person" (to say the least from what I've seen. I usually try to avoid sims drama (this is my comfort hobby) but this was just too odd.
How ironic of them to make such a mod. It'd be laughable if it weren't soo..pathetic for lack of better words.
