In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

LMFAOOO SEE WHAT I MEAN?! they acting like children 😭

I will keep on doing Early Access.

You can report me to EA, i don’t care! You’re all hypocrites. This game wouldn’t exist without our mods and CC haha!

Do you really think that EA is giving a shit about the bugs/errors who come with every update? Seriously, they have a company with tons of employees, they spend MONTHS to make a expansion pack and in the end they release that shit! They just want your money and you keep on buying it AND it’s not cheap at all!

Just to be clear: i don’t agree with Exclusive Content and that’s why i don’t do it! You can get my CC for free, i don’t force any of you to subscribe to my Patreon, they talk about donations and guys, subscribing to our Patreon is a DONATION! You can stay or leave as you prefer and if you can’t you can download it after public release!

In my humble opinion, you should be thankful for Modders and CC creators exist on this community, we have jobs out side this community, we are students, we don’t make a lot of money and become rich as many of you think so!

I can see the future of this game without mods and CC, will you pay for an shit expansion pack to get 1 new hair, poorly made clothes, 5 poorly made objects AND a lot of errors? That’s what it seems!

I am sorry for my bad English, i am such disappointed with this situation and i thought on leaving but i love creating for The Sims!!!

Thank you for being such ungrateful!

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

ONCE A KING, ALWAYS A KING.

REST IN POWER, CHADWICK BOSEMAN.

I miss playing and dressing up sims.

GENETICS GENERATORS

This was created with berries in mind, but would be good for any sim really!

HOW IT WORKS: I made the current values so that is 60% of getting either the carrier or donor’s gene, a 30% chance of getting any of the grandparent’s gene, and a 8% chance of getting any of the 8 great grandparents genes. (Yes, this doesn’t equal 100%, but that’s ok, but the percentage doesnt matter, just the fact that you are x times more likely to get parents than grandparents.

VERSION 1: 

The simplest of all of them. Just hit randomize, and it will tell you what hair, eyes, and skin color your child will inherit. I would recommend writing down the parent’s/grandparent’s/great grandparent’s names to make it easier to reference. LINK TO V1

VERSION 2: 

Same as version 1, but without great grandparents genes. Chances are changed to 32.5% chance for donor, 32.5% for carrier, and 8.75% for each grandparent. LINK TO V2

VERSION 3:

This is the one that is most customizable. Here’s how you use it: go to this link, erase all the text there, and paste the code for version 1 or the code for version 2, whichever you prefer. Then, you can change the generic family relation names to names of the family members, to make it easier for you! You can also make it the appropriate gene- for example, if i wanted to roll for orange vs yellow hair, i could change “carrier” to orange and “donor” to yellow, add in “peach” and “orange” for grandparents, and ‘peach’ ‘pink’ ‘orange’ ‘pastel pink’ for grandparents 1-4.. Yeah, you might want to have your family tree pulled up for that part. 

CHANGING PERCENTAGES:

Currently in v1, carrier and donor are set to 30% each, so that its a 60% chance of getting a parent’s gene. If you wanted to raise the percentage to, for example, 80% you would take 80 and divide it by the number of choices for the gene- in this case 2- and then convert that to decimal form. Because you’re a good math student you know that 40%=.4, so you would then change ^.3 to ^.4 after each gene choice, which raises the chance of having your donor’s gene from 30% to 40%. 

And thank you to my beta testers, @simphonics and @prismfamilylegacy !
