Mutual aid request :(

I... pretty much hate to do this. But I need to.

So, I have an elder cat called Nina that in late September got really hurt, spent three months wearing the cone

Thank goodness she's fine now, 100% healed:

But I paid a lot for my little fluffy friend to stay alive and despite doing the best I've could, my finances are a mess, so I ask the community that gave me so much fun with their CC and pictures and memes for a little help, just for now, for a pick me up. I do have a job, and while it's stable, it's not the best pay around.

Because of exchange rates, even $10 is mighty fine.

Thanks in advance, I hope I don't need to ask money again...

Life Updates and Such...

Soooo.... many things! At the moment, I've finally pulled myself somewhat out of the doldrums caused by lack-of-job + job-search-sucks and am making all the preparations for celebrating the end of this year and the start of a new one.

I think I've binged something like 30+ anime series in the last month or so, along with reading many many books.

Today, I've finally got some bots working in the Creator's Cave discord, to make things a bit easier there. There are more updates I still need to do, but it's a start.

My hope for this week, is that in addition to my preparations for New Year's, I'll be able to actually finish my project of turning some of my flower photos into TS3 art. No promises, but I'm hopeful.

Below the cut, for the curious or nosy, the menu and preparations for New Year's.

Before anyone starts to wonder... two of the friends coming to my place for New Year's are really really into Pumpkin, so this is reflected here. Yes, this is probably too much food and drink for... 6 people, but hey... leftovers.

**Food** 1 frozen lasagna, family size 1 batch homemade mac&cheese (made by not me) Cheeses! (Extra sharp white cheddar, brie, various spreadables, 3 varieties of goat cheese) Crackers! (Ritz garlic butter, rosemary flatbread, 5 other assorted) Meats! (Summer sausage, dry salame, fig salame) Tea Sandwiches! (Cream cheese + smoke salmon or cucumber or jam) Scones! (I plan to make at least 3 varieties, but haven't yet decided which.) Oven ready appetizers! (Takoyaki, bagel bites, baked potato skins, loaded tater tots, mini quiches, mozzarella sticks, and more.) Shrimp Cocktail platter Veggie Platter Sweet Maui Onion potato chips Homemade snack mix (Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Pretzels, Cashews, Pistachios, white cheddar cheeze-its, white cheddar cheese puffs)

**Sweets** Pumpkin Spice Twinkies Iced Pumpkin Cupcakes (this is also hostess brand) Yackwa Korean donuts (gift from a neighbor) Assorted flavors of KitKats Pumpkin Pie yogurt covered pretzels Butter Rum Crunch popcorn Bourbon Crunch popcorn Milk Chocolate cherry cordials Other assorted chocolates

**Non-Alcoholic Drinks** Five different flavors of Martinellis sparkling cider Pumpkin Spice cold brewed tea (caffeinated) Pumpkin Creme Rooibos cold brew tea (herbal) Pumpkin Pie cold brew tea (herbal) Various Gatorade

**Alcoholic Drinks** 'Strong Mead' from a cider festival (gift from friend) Expensive bottle of Sake 'Demon Slayer' 1 bottle Louis Perrier Champagne for ringing in the new year Berenjaeger Green Apple Sake Peach Sake Umeshu Plum Wine Matcha Plum Wine (I'm really curious about this one) Butterscotch Shnapps Pumpkin hard Cider Dark Chocolate Cherry Moonshine Eggo Brunch Sippin' Cream A cupboard full of other assorted things that probably won't be looked at.

#non sims #nonsims #personal #life updates #new years is the only holiday we really celebrate much #and I'm so ready for this year to be over #I've been acquiring supplies for NYE for a month already at least #it's also the one day each year we throw out our alcohol limitations #mostly the friends who come over just plan to crash overnight and go home the next day

Janas-Creative Archive?

So, I went following a web archive link today for janas-creatives website, which no longer exists. Some of the more recent-ish CC was able to be downloaded via the archive, but there were a few things I was disappointed were not available.

Does an archive for this website already exist somewhere? I checked the usual places, Simscave, Sims Graveyard, DarkCCfinds, various spreadsheets with archives, and wasn't able to find anything.

I was looking specifically for:

The Ying/Yang Rug by Fanny: https://web.archive.org/web/20140910194620/http://www.janas-creatives.de/blog/?p=6661 (Acquired!)

Sleeping Beauty's Castle by Jana: https://web.archive.org/web/20150523051828/http://www.janas-creatives.de/blog/?p=9806 (Like a complete ditz, I listed Sleeping Beauty's Castle, when I meant Snow White's Castle. Ahahahaha... sigh.)

Dear ktar, I consider you such an important staple of our community! You encourage our community to grow closer, your Discord channel for TS3 creators fosters creativity and helps out so many CC creators! You always have kind words to spare and give great advice. Thank you for everything!

I hope you don't mind this being shared. I nearly cried when reading it, so I really wanted to preserve it for future perusal when I'm feeling down. I'm really bad at reaching out to people myself, so I'm always really touched when someone reaches out to me.

Thank you so much. I never feel like I'm doing enough, and I always feel like I could and should do better, and that I'm not active enough on Tumblr, etc. So thank you. This really means a lot, especially since I hold you in high esteem.

I am forever in your debt both for wonderful patterns and for being someone who isn't afraid to talk about your life struggles here and share them with the rest of us. Visibility really can make so much difference. I remember you weren't around much when I first followed you, and I was so happy when you came back. <3

#replies #kinda sims #every once in a while someone will say something like this to me #and it makes all the effort and time spent worthwhile #I do my best #but I never feel like it's enough #strive for your ideals #even though it may seem like you never reach them #once in a while other people may let you know you're succeeding more than you realize
