a quick tip of my own, underworlds and daybreak by twistedmexi are mods that make it so all worlds (up to copperdale, idt it's been updated past high school years) are permanently night/day (depending on which you get) while time still passes in-game. you can very easily edit what time your worlds appear by opening it in s4s and editing the "hour" value on all neighbourhoods to your desired hour. great for story posts where you want multiple shots that take place at the same time narratively but it takes a while to set up between takes 👍

I felt like making a collection of tips and tricks that I’ve learned over the last year since starting a Simblr.

No EXTRAS in the shot please! - When taking screenshots I recommend placing extra teleporters out of the way of pics to pull townies or pets, etc… out when they walk into frame.

Invisible Wall - I use Bakie’s invisible wall to block off stages or other places I don’t want sims to gather. If I need any sims on the other side of the wall, I just use the teleporter to get them there.

TOOL - you can move props, like plants etc…, and even move posed sims with this tool. So handy!

WW - you can moved posed sims and place items from build & buy mode without the posed sims resetting!! But I have found it doesn’t work with all the sim ages. (makes sense!)

SAVE AS - Sometimes while working on a harder or maybe just a more chaotic scene, I do as save as so I can pop back in at that exact moment and get more shots, if needed. This way it doesn’t also mess up the timeline with my gameplay.

RESHADE - I have different versions of my reshade saved and tweaked for taking shots at night or in darker lighting.

TAB Mode - I recommend exploring shots from different angles after entering tab mode. And I recommend tweaking your camera settings using this or this.

Reblogs or comments with additional tips and tricks welcomed and encouraged!

NAME: grammar | tripp

NICKNAMES: n/a for both (tripp IS the nickname but it's basically his first name atp)

NATIONALITY: english-iraqi (london) | american (los angeles)

FAVOURITE FRUIT: mangoes | strawberries

FAVOURITE SEASON: autumn | summer

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Palestinians stay steadfast in their faith and struggle to find food, aid, medicine and shelter. Many others are struggling too and it's important we remember them.

I've noticed a trend of creators uploading custom content to curseforge, and either not linking it here on tumblr, or hiding those links. If you go to a download link and "rightclick -> copy link" and see that the link includes "forgecdn", that is a curseforge link. But bypasses the page and downloads the content immediately. Before you can even tell its a curseforge link.

A lot of creators are trying to use curseforge to host their content, and then hide this from their blogs or download posts, hoping you wont notice when the link takes you to a direct download from curseforge.

stop using curseforge

THREAD OF INFORMATION FROM BISAN’S RECENT TIKTOK LIVE ON FEBRUARY 12TH — user ItsMaybeMadi on X ( Twitter ) PLEASE READ!!

LINKS IN THREAD:

BISAN’S GOFUNDME.

DONATE TO UNRWA.

PLEASE SHARE THIS !!! REBLOG/SHARE DO WHATEVER. PALESTINE NEEDS YOU.

[blackfern]

you guys need to start being more careful with what you say in regards to the palestinian cause. some of you are over excited white people with some weird saviour complex and you’re speaking over palestinians and using the wrong language and it makes the media demonize us further.

palestinians are not aggressive and we’re not blood thirsty people. we want to live and that is simply it. we want a life for ourselves and for our children and for our friends and for our beloveds. we want a life in the homeland we’re indigenous to. that is it. stop twisting it into your fucked up little fantasy

[blackfern]

hi. go buy esims for gaza. go preorder a kufiya from hirbawi. buy insulin for palestinian diabetics who need that help. if you live in the states use this to email your reps (this takes maybe 5 seconds to do). check out this massive list of resources where you can educate yourself in a meaningful and actionable way even if you don't have the financial means right now. from the river to the sea palestine will be free. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[blackfern]

you've seen some of these sims before but i like them so. see them again

you should open up my ask box and threaten to do something drastic if i don't make your favourite townie
