in spite of whatever hole resembling a grave our ceo is currently digging himself into i want to emphasize that trans women are invaluable to our communities and you enrich our lives just by being here. i know my life wouldn't be the same without the trans women in it and the same goes for hundreds of thousands of people. i'm horrified thinking about what predstrogen and every other trans woman on this site is going through right now and i cannot stress enough that regardless you are loved and my support for trans women will always be unwavering

⚠️ ADVISORY: Malicious Mods, Identity Theft, Malware, and You ⚠️

Hey, all! Not sure how many people will see this, but if you do, please reblog. This is a 'little' post regarding a potentially big problem affecting the Sims 4 community. If you download mods/CC at all (and yes I know CC is a type of mod), this applies to you.

TL;DR: For the sake of your personal info, identity, bank account, et cetera, please STOP downloading any mods/CC for the time being. Especially from the following sites: CurseForge, ModTheSims, The Sims Resource. It doesn't matter if you know the creator or not. Give it at least a week while we all figure out what's going on. If you must, I would recommend only downloading directly from a creator's Patreon (assuming they have one).

Other people have written at length about the mods in question, so I'll just share their posts below.

What's going on?

From the Sims 4 After Dark Discord server (a server you should join if you're not in it already):

⚠️If you downloaded any mod listed in the above post and played the game with them installed, this is the cleaner program Kuttoe (creator of the Home Regions and Townie Demographics mods) mentioned in their post: GitHub - overwolf/sims4-social-events-cleaner: Source files and exe release for a tool to clean up your machine if you have downloaded the "Social Events - Unlimited Time" Sims 4 mod ⚠️

Got confirmation from Kuttoe that as long as you didn't boot up the game with the malicious mods installed (or deleted them completely from your computer before playing the game), you *should* be fine. Still, I recommend that anyone who thinks they might have downloaded any of them run the cleaner program.

Here's an explanation from @anadius2 (reposted by Kuttoe) in the Sims 4 After Dark server (not providing a link to prevent brigading or spam, but you can DM me and I'll give you the link) about what the malware will do to your computer:

And a little dive into the back-end coding stuff for the more tech-savvy Simmers out there:

So, to recap:

Fake mods were uploaded to Curseforge, ModTheSims, and The Sims Resource

@msqsimsofficial had their account compromised on 2 of those sites (they are a victim of hacking, so do not send them hate!)

If downloaded, these malicious mods have the ability to steal very sensitive info (your passwords, credit card info if saved somewhere in your browser, data)

As of right now, antivirus software may not be able to detect the malware

Mac and Linux users seem to be safe; Windows users are the ones that could be affected

Why is this happening?

Unsure. Lots of theories are being made by people far more knowledgeable than me, but from the looks of things, could be crypto bullshit and/or an attempt to steal your data and sell it. This is very, very serious, and could wreck your life if said data/personal info falls into the wrong hands.

Identity Theft: What It Is, How to Prevent It, Warning Signs and Tips - NerdWallet

It's always a good idea to change passwords every couple of months or so, but if you think you've been affected, you also need to change your passwords for things like online banking, email and social media accounts, healthcare sites AFTER running the cleaner.

What now?

I want to talk about how we approach modding our games and downloading files in general.

Please STOP downloading mod file folders from people who did not create the specific mods. Period. This includes Sim dumps, building/lots with CC, mod folders promoted on YouTube, etc. This does not mean that anyone sharing them is doing so maliciously. In fact, I appreciate the amount of effort people put into compiling these resources! But unless you're super careful (and super knowledgeable), you run the risk of downloading malware like this on your computer. Make no mistake, the malicious files in question look like run-of-the-mill, everyday mods. Two of them were even posted from a trustworthy creator's actual account! The only way to know what they actually do is to peek into the code, and idk about you, but I don't know Python. So even after this issue is resolved, you really should only download files from the creators themselves.

But what about CC shopping?

Here's how I like to approach it: I stick to lookbooks and combing through the Patreons/accounts of creators who make items I like. If I see a Sim dump with CC that I'm interested, I try to reach out to the poster and ask where they got specific CC. If I can't do that, I see if it was shared via Drive, look at the individual files themselves, then head to the original CC creator's official download page and get it from the source.

That's all I have for you! Stay safe, and happy Simming! 🫶🏾

Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those effected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.

Day 17 - Reagan Felix

Reagan is the first person of the Merge to be eliminated. It's a little surprising, given that she was never outright disliked by the other contestants, but she wasn't exactly popular with them either... Reagan mostly laid low, but when the former Killer Cowplants that she never knew that well were able to decide her fate, they decided it was time for her to go.

From here on out, eliminations are permanent, meaning this is the end of Reagan's journey on Total Drama Sims until she appears again in the finale to vote for a winner. THANK YOU @prismaticpotentia for volunteering your lovely sim for the competition. She played well!

7 contestants remain...

Goodbye, Terrence! You were my second favorite and I will miss you!

Day 6 - Terrance Vellard

Our mischief-master has met his fate. Since most of the Screaming Llamas lost their part of the challenge, it was mostly Terrance's mannerisms that motivated the votes. To be honest, his only true friend here was Lilium (despite him having teased her a couple times). The others found him a bit too hard to swallow.

But the good news is that Terrance, along with the other eliminated contestants so far, will have a chance to rejoin the game at merge! So maybe it's just "see you later."

11 contestants remain...

I am howling at Lilium's face. I love her and I love this shot.

Day 4 - Challenge Day

Welcome to day 4 of Total Drama Sims! Today we start off with Camden doing party tricks and Reagan catching herself on fire... Not cool, Reagan!

Today's challenge is all about staying awake! Contestants will be competing to see who can stay awake the longest. Cabins and the mess hall have been locked so no one can hit the hay. The contestant who stays awake the longest and outlasts everyone else will win invincibility for their team!

Since the challenge technically doesn't begin until everyone starts tiring, today also doubles as a bonus socialization day! Cassie (KC) and Aubrey (KC) were seen dreamily exchanging their phone numbers...

However, new feuds also broke out. The Killer Cowplants have broken their peace today and began to fragment among each other. Kenzie (KC) was an absolute menace and argued with both Alexis (KC) and Reagan (SL); all because she was feeling "butthurt." Meanwhile, it was discovered that Logan (KC) and Aubrey really don't like each other.

Night eventually fell, however, and Aubrey was first to hit the snooze button.

Most people lasted until the sun rose the next morning, but despite Camden being a party boy and is probably used to staying staying up late, not even he could keep his eyes open. Terrance followed suit shortly after.

By around 7am, most of the contestants had gotten out. After Kenzie passed out, Cassie became the last Killer Cowplant still awake. But eventually... she too couldn't resist the temptation of sleep.

In the end, the last person awake was Lilium! She snags victory for her team!

THE SCREAMING LLAMAS WIN!

The Screaming Llamas have secured their first victory! Congrats; all of you are safe today. Killer Cowplants, I'll be seeing you at the campfire!

Today's Confessional: Logan West-Harper

"I don't know what everyone's problem is. Kenzie especially; I don't vibe with Alexis either, but seriously? Why do you have to pick fights with everybody? And Aubrey, what's your problem against me? I didn't do anything to you."

"Ugh, well... At least I'm tight with Anika, and she's tight with both Dahlia and Kenzie. I think I have a better chance at making it through if I can befriend those two and find myself a place in their alliance."

Find all these amazing characters below! And cheer on your favorite as they take on @jonquilyst challenges in! TOTAL, DRAMA, SIMS!💚

some of the characters appearances are based off of personality instead of looks, like who in the actual tv show did they resemble...make sense? If your unhappy with how I drew your sim pls accept my deepest apologies and know that it was never my intention to upset you. I gave everyone an equal amount of thought and attention to detail. I had so much fun making these that I don't know what to do with myself anymore, now that I'm done Lol! so maybe, if you'd like a redraw, I'd be happy to take on the challenge💕

Day 0 - Introduction and Team Sorting

🎵 Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine. You guys are on my mind... 🎵

WELCOME TO TOTAL DRAMA SIMS! The hottest new reality TV show on Simblr. I'm your host jonquilyst, and starting today 14 teenagers will gather to put their wits, guts, and strength to the test to see who can survive and persevere the longest. Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be totally, absolutely insane!

Allow me to also welcome you to Camp Simsanakwa! Located somewhere along the coast of Brindleton Bay, this crappy summer camp will be our 14 contestants' new home! Here’s a little tour:

🎵 You asked me what I wanted to be, and I think the answer is plain to see... 🎵

🎵 I wanna live close to the sun. Pack your bags 'cause I've already won... 🎵

We've got the basic necessities here: 2 cabins (one for each team) with 2 rooms each, a mess hall for everyone's lounging and culinary needs, and of course bathrooms for everyone to do their business!

But the most exciting part is the campfire, where everyone will face the judgement of their fellow contestants, and the Dock of Shame, where losers will say goodbye to Total Drama Sims!

Now, our 14 contestants have arrived. Allow me to formally introduce our two teams: THE SCREAMING LLAMAS AND THE KILLER COWPLANTS!

🎵 Everything to prove nothing's in my way. I'll get there one day! 🎵

Reagan looks so good in your game!!

All of the contestants will have an official contestant portrait. I'm sharing the portraits for Merge (everyone will have one whether or not they make it to that point) to prevent spoiling teams but all of the contestants (even the ones not yet submitted) have been sorted and their portrait will either be tinted green if they're on the Screaming Llamas or red if they're on the Killer Cowplants ^^ Eliminated contestants will have their portraits shown in B/W.

The poses were carefully selected based on the contestants' personalities and backstories. Hopefully you all like them! (My personal favorite is Reagan's portrait [bottom right] she looks so GOOOD)

Reagan Felix is applying to @jonquilyst's total drama sims!

Bio: Reagan Felix is the only daughter of Senator Angora Felix and Doctor Samson Felix.

She's a confirmed genius and known in her school for being an overacheiver, she always gets what she wants, no matter how much work she needs to put in.

And put in the work she does! She works hard to stay at the top of her game both mentally and physically! She's never one to back down from a challenge!

Despite her Father's long hours of work, she truly looks up to him and obviously plans to follow either him into medicine or her mother into politics.

She's her mother's spitting image, though, and the apple of her eye! She already stands out above the rest, so she's an obvious choice for the competition! You can tell by how authentic this tape is! Disclaimer: Sen. Agora Felix's lawyers have had nothing to do with Reagan's acceptance onto the show and she dares you to prove they did.

Character notes: Reagan is a rich girl under a lot of pressure, determined to make her mother proud no matter what. Even if that means being cutthroat. Hopefully, out from under the constant watchful eye of her mother, she can find at least a little bit of herself.
