#boycott the sims 4

[tamiisnthere]

I hate to write some random rant, but I really wish players would start boycotting The Sims 4.

Each new patch/DLC brings more and more glitches and bugs which developers refuse to fix or accidentally(?) create more bugs to fix some. Like for example right now there is a missing moodlets bug that corrupts some saves and because of this these must be deleted.

DLCs (mainly kits) are bland, almost empty, poor quality and expensive junk while modders create huge CC packs and mods that are high quality and most importantly free and also they fix the bugs that EA made.

Still, I feel sorry for console players who don't have the option to fix/improve the game unlike PC players and it makes the game unplayable due to broken patches.

Then players are reporting to EA who gives empty promises that they will fix it and later next DLC drop and it's same crap. It goes on and on in a never-stopping cycle.

And what's the worst, what annoys me the most? That some players want more content into game and EA wants TS4 to continue on even after Project Rene (The Sims 5) is released. It's a huge red flag since what a horrible state the game is in right now.

If you have TS4 as your comfort game and it helps improve your mood, please try to play either previous The Sims games like The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 or a completely different game. The possibilities are endless.

I'm saying this (even I'm just screaming into void) bcs I just don't understand when everyone says EA is one of the worst AAA video game companies, people still buy their games and DLCs which are unfinished and buggy.

#I apologize if I offended anyone with this rant #also EA is so much greedy rn that they added shopping cart icon into build/life mode; ewww #tamiisnthere's thought #I stopped updating my game since November 2022 and even though there are still some bugs but not that bad as right now #especially I was tired to downloading all the new updated mods since I have over 3000 files #I don't even play this game anymore #I'm just creating characters and ripping them thanks to TS4 SimRipper (Rest in Peace CmarNYC 💔) to import them into Blender and XPS #I really hope competitions like Paralives; Life by You; Vivaland and etc. will kick The Sims' and EA's asses #boycott the sims 4 #boycott ts4 #boycott ea games #boycott aaa games #the sims 4 #sims 4 #the sims #sims

And your goals become our goals – after all, we’re more than coworkers, we’re family. It all starts here, behind the counter with “Welcome to Moe’s!”.

Ok these new kits are distasteful and I'm sick of no one doing anything about it like guys, they don't care about us they're just regiving us old gifts, they're recycling and upcharging for trash. Just boycott the new kits. Stop giving them money for nothing. Tell them you either want cheaper packs/kits/etc. Or full, well-made, no bugs, no glitches, filled to the BRIM with content, and creative packs. Until they give us what we want don't buy it. They aren't gonna stop till you hit them where it hurts. The wallet.

It still blows my mind that people steal other people's work and then sell it as their own. Rimings, like all legitimate creators, works hard on their projects, and jagodamods is profiting. Time to expose this thief if you know of them.

At this point EA could release a toilet pack kit with just toilets and a toiletbrushes and people would still go “oh this is so useful, I could probably use these all the time”

#this was written before I learned there is literally a toilet brush in the latest pack #sims 4 #the sims #yes this is throwing shade #do I think anyone does anything wrong in deciding what they want to spend their money on? #not adressing the people who get it for free #absolutely not #is ea a shit company selling micro transactional shit and needs to be held accountable? #yes #but I’m also not one to talk since I did download that kit when it was for free #and my unofficial boycott is mostly based in just not giving a single fuck anymore #like my desire to buy any of the new packs is so minimal #I didn’t even check if they had a 50% Christmas sale which is how I always get packs #because I will not pay full price for that type of product

DELETE PINTEREST UNLESS YOU ARE USING IT TO BOOST CONTENT ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON

of course you can say this regarding other social media platforms such as 'x', where obviously elon musk sucks, but using those platforms to educate yourself and amplify palestinian, sudan, yemen, indigenous, black, BIPOC, anti-zionist voices is different to using them as a fun little social media and ignoring what is going on in the world

𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 & 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐬

as we all know, currently there is a genocide happening in Palestine - 30,000+ people have died, entire bloodlines have been removed, and thousands of people are displaced with little to no resources coming in. it is important that we, as people of the world, pay attention to what's happening, so we can uplift and help the people of Palestine as they need it.

Bisan, a young, well-known Palestinian journalist has documented what's been happening in the region for the past 105 days and recently called for a world boycott week starting on January 21 and ending on January 28, so that world officials can pay attention to what's happening in Gaza and call for a permanent ceasefire.

with all this in mind, i think it's important to do my part in aiding those in Gaza who need help, and i'm also asking for my followers to do the same. so, i'll be hosting a type of game where for a small fee ($3) i do tarot readings and give astro interpretations in order to donate eSIMs to those in the region who need it.

i will be donating to GazaeSIMs which entails buying eSIMs (electronic SIMs cards) for those in the region, so they can stay connected to their families and the rest of the world during a tumultuous time where communication is everything. if you feel uncomfortable having your money go through me, then you can alternatively show proof that you've donated to the cause personally, and i will still give your reading/interpretation.

i will give updates and proof that i am doing what i say i will to ensure full transparency. if you donate, you will be answered - it may take me a moment depending on how many people participate, but everyone will be answered by February 4, 2024 - which is the week after the boycott.

i'd really appreciate it if you all helped those in Palestine in any way - whether it's through me or someone else or on your own. i will be buying eSIMs with my own money anyways, but i felt it would be irresponsible of me to not use my platform knowing i could also reach many other people.

thank you for reading through all of this if you did! here's to ensuring Palestine will be free - from the river to the sea.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐄:

i. reblog this post, so more people can donate

ii. reblog this post, so more people can be aware of what's happening in palestine and how they can help

iii. send at least $3 to @sunkissedchld on PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp OR show proof you've donated to GazaeSIMs (a receipt of your purchase works - do NOT show the QR code)

iv. send in any question you have - it can be tarot or astrology related; you will receive an interpretation that is at least one paragrapgh long

v. you can ask more than one question, but each question is $3, so say if you wanted two questions answered - send $6

From The River To The Sea •Fanart• [Wow Wow Wubbzy]

I never thought to talk about politics in my art account but we ALL should know about the great GENOCIDE that Israel is causing to Palestine, I have decided to make this drawing to help with 4 steps that we can do to help Palestine (Make the topic known/ Donations/boycott/marches/)

Basically they have committed so many crimes against Palestine such as taking away electricity, water and other resources. Bomb houses, hospitals, schools, even destroying structures in different cities. They don't care about KILLING CHILDREN AND CITIZENS They excuse themselves saying that it is "self-defense" when they were already doing this before but now it is much worse...

I leave links to donate to Palestinian citizens!

boycott

Chains such as Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Coca-Cola, KFC or Pizza Hut admit the impact of the campaigns, carried out on social networks. Some are pointed out by local initiatives or misunderstandings; others, for the West's support for Israel. Try to reduce consumption for these brands

Marches

Mexico, Chile, Japan, the United Kingdom and more countries continue to hold Pro-Palestine marches, if we do more in our countries we will cause pressure on politicians to close contracts and relations with Israel and stop falling into censorship

[netscapenavigator-official]

I’m honestly very skeptical of a Bands pack for The Sims 4 mostly because of this trend:

“We want TS3 Generations gameplay!”

*gives us Parenthood*

“No!!! Not good enough!”

“…”

“We want farming!”

*gives us a major gardening overhaul with Seasons*

“No!!! Not good enough!”

“…”

“We want a fame system!”

*Gives us Get Famous*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want University gameplay!”

*gives us Discover University*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want a tiny home pack!”

*gives us Tiny Living*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“Wow!! They really botched those last few packs. Now we get to vote on what pack we want next. The second largest majority of us want a pack about green and sustainable living!”

*gives us Eco Lifestyle*

“This pack is awful! Nobody asked for this! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want an interior designer career like The Sims 3: Ambitions had!”

*gives us Dream Home Decorator*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We wanting farming! Again!!!”

*gives us Cottage Living*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want live High School like we got live careers with Get Work!”

*gives us High School Years*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want TS3 Generations gameplay! Again!!!”

*gives is Growing Together*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want horses!”

*gives us Horse Ranch*

“This pack is awful! Boycott The Sims!”

“…”

“We want Bands!”

So do you understand why I don’t give a shit any time the sims community, at large, demands a good idea? Because A: the packs will never be done the way that fans have deluded themselves into thinking EA will do them. They will always serve to clutter the game and break other features.

And B: even if they were done properly, people would still find something to complain about. I’m over it. This game, and this community are a lost cause.

People scream “boycott,” so a very talented cracker and repacker (@anadius2) makes it EXTREMELY easy to play the game and get the packs FOR free (and without DRM, on Windows), and they still choose to pay EA for shit packs and soulless kits because of consumerism and FOMO.

The only reason I play TS4 these days, over TS3, is because it runs smoother on my Mac. That’s it. I wish every time I open that horrible excuse for software that I could go back to TS3.

New Job, Boom!

Hey friends, 

Going to be a short one this week, but I definitely didn't want to let it pass without saying a little something. If you haven't heard otherwise yet, I'm now working at BOOM! Studios! Once I can say more, I'm sure I will, but it's early, things aren't really announced beyond that, and there are other matters to turn your attention to. 

Announcements: It's the Global General Strike for Palestine! For the next week, people all over the world are striking from all sorts of regular activity to disrupt the economic systems supporting the destruction of Palestine and to put that time and energy into active protest movement. This is a pretty basic explainer of what you can do and know that doing anything is better than doing nothing, right? If you have to go to work, be visible. If you have to shop, be visible and thoughtful. If you have to rest, enjoy the things you already have. If you want to post, make it about what is happening. Current reports are estimating over 25,000 people have been murdered, with the death toll just going to keep rising between continued bombardments and the lack of resources. Over 60,000 people are wounded, 85% of the population has been displaced, and roughly 1 in 4 people is facing extreme hunger. No hospital is fully functional, for the ones that are still left standing. The IOF (Israeli Occupying Force) has admitted to exhuming graves, and have claimed it's to "find the hostages", but in the face of the other war crimes they've committed, it's hard to believe it wasn't vengeful malicious behavior to psychologically wound Palestinians as much as anything else. While we wait--possibly years--to find out if the International Court of Justice rules that Israel is in fact committing a genocide, people are going to continue dying from this. And so, hopefully, with a bit of concentrated disruption and pressure, this destruction that's already lasted 100+ days may finally find an end. 

In terms of using your power and time, I've mentioned it before, but you could call your representatives. Fax their offices. Email them. Contact the White House. Join actions from organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace, American Muslims for Palestine, the Democratic Socialists of America, and be sure to focus your boycotts (during the strike and generally) on the businesses called out by BDS. You can take some time to read through Verso's Solidarity with Palestine reading list. Make signs for if you're going out protesting, to put in your windows, or coordinate outfits in Palestinian flag colors that show your solidarity. Make sure you're keeping an eye out for local events. If you see art installations, share them, and, yeah, that includes graffiti that bears the message. Let Palestinians take the lead in the global conversation on social media and if you see, say, your reps talking about other things, flood them with calls for a ceasefire in the replies. 

If spending money brings you any comfort and you feel a need to put something into good practice, the Cartoonist Cooperative's page still lists a ton of resources for E-Sim cards.Bisan mentioned today that E-Sims are helpful, but their use is becoming more limited as the overall infrastructure has been so damaged that you need to be in a high place to use them. 

Again, do what you can.  

What I enjoyed this week: Nancy (Comic), Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Links (Video Game), Baldur's Gate III (Video Game), Blank Check (Podcast), Dungeons & Daddies (Podcast), How to Read Nancy (Book), Ted Lasso (TV show), my new big Taschen Ads of the 80s book, Movie Flick Chick Vol. 1 by BonerBob (Adult Comic), The Traitors Season 2 (TV show), The Floor (TV show), having a new phone and slowly getting back up to speed with it, seeing some stuff I had been working on at the old job get announced.

Pic of the Week: As I've been wont to do recently, I've made a little promo image with my announcement, so that's here, but my real pic of the week is this amazing photo of Nadja. She was in the chair sleeping and I went to move the Hello Kitty and I put it on top of her and she didn't move at all! It was very cute.

How can you help Gaza/Palestine in Israel? I know of the click-once-a-day donation site and the boycott list, but what else can someone do to help? Is there any groups, or anything you can do to participate in to help?

1. If you're an American, you need to call your Representatives, and not vote for either Democrats or Republicans, also knowing which senators etc the AIPAC (pro Israel org/lobby) funds might be helpful. The biggest political & military aid comes from the US & therefore the pressure should be the strongest by the allies there.

2. @/ Pal_action on twitter is an excellent account to follow & support. It takes actions to shut down Elbit systems, one of the major weapons manufacturing industries that supplies Israel weapons. It is mainly based in the UK, but they have activists in other parts of the world like Japan too.

3. Follow the BDS list of boycott. Boycott Disney, Starbucks & McDonald's as well. (Tho I understand that you're already doing that).

4. Uninstall/don't use Israeli apps. There are many apps like Fiverr & Wix that are Israeli & I think we should be boycotting those too if we could. (There's a list on my pinned post).

5. @/careforGaza on twitter is a non-profit charity in aid of helping the needy families of Palestine.

6. @/Mirna_elhelbawi on twitter provides e sims for Gaza/Palestine and Sudan.

7. Follow & support Electronic Intifada on YouTube and Twitter.

8. Following journalists on ground and non Palestinian investigative journalists helps too, spread their videos so more people are aware/up to date.

Palestinian reporters on twitter: @/azaizamotaz9 , @/wizardbisan , @/byPlestia

Non Palestinian journalists on twitter: @/davidsheen , @/AbbyMartin , @/dancohen3000 , @/MaxBluementhal

(David Sheen's YouTube channel is extremely informative too & I would recommend it to people wanting to educate themselves)

#sorry i also don't know much but i hope it was helpful #free Palestine

For @plumbewb 's BGC Del Sol Casting Call, May I Present...

Fortune McClure, "The Trojan Horse!"

Age: 28

Location: Born and raised in Copperdale (while constantly traveling between both parents’ hometowns.)

Relationship/Sexuality: Single, Straight and Strictly Flirty For Fun (honestly, if you’ve tried flirting with her you know it’s a joke.)

Archetype: The Classy Girl And The Real Girl

Mortal Enemies: The Instigator And The Name Dropper

STATS: -Seduction - 2 -Physical Strength - 4 -Mental Strength - 5 -Manipulation - 3 -Anger Management - 4

Fortune’s parents were quite the influence; while other kids were going to Sims Toys R Us or having blowout parties at Copperdale, she was sitting in on town council meetings in Evergreen or handing out pamphlets in San Myshuno. Being raised at the front lines of activism, you would expect a blatant, loud, sign-waving chick who openly rejects any mainstream/corporate/capitalist bullshit.

Fortune disagrees. She is precisely the kind of person who the mainstream world needs. She knows her opulent aesthetic and posh demeanor gives you a different idea of who she is. She knows you’ll underestimate or dismiss her to her face. Good.

While you think you’re showering her with money to fund her lifestyle, she’s using it to fund every high-profile protest, boycott or nonprofit. While you think you’re intimidating her into walking away from a fight, she’s already knee-deep in your closet gathering the skeletons to drag into the light. And while you think she’s here in Del Sol to show out on TV (partially true TBH) she's really here to recruit more sims to join her cause.

She wants you to think she doesn’t care, right up until the

“What makes me a Bad Girl? I like to fight. For what I know to be correct. I like to drink. Just enough to keep me fighting. I like to party. After I achieve a goal. I like to flirt. With destiny. I like to name drop. Myself. Because I’m the one to look out for. I’m a maverick in faux-mink. I stay standing for what’s right, while you stay staring at my ass. What’s Badder than that?”
