Quickie Foods & Snacks

This was something I made a couple of years ago for a family I was playing that was poor so they were eating cereal most of the time. I have the mod where you have to buy everything to cook or eat anything from the fridge but didn't want to have to buy 10 cereals all the time so I used the idea from Arsil's Food Maker and applied it to a cereal box, then made some granola bars to boot.

You can purchase them from the grocery store (General Section) as well as in the Buy Mode catalog. You can read the label which will tell you nonsense + how many servings are left. Once it's empty, you'll have to dispose of the box.

Cereal: There are 6 servings in each box. Sugary cereal will give you a sugar rush but it also might give you a toothache. The cereal box objects are from ATS Sandy and I just added my script to it. (Note: When placed in the world for the first time, it may show up as red, you need to go into CAST and just switch presets and the texture will show up.)

Granola/Protein Bars: There are 6 servings in each. Both will give you a bit of hunger increase, though the granola bar more so. The protein bar will give your Sim an hour of Adrenaline Rush which boosts Athletic Skill so it's best to eat before a workout. If you are fatigued, it will remove the fatigue moodlet.

Requirements: CCLoader for the custom food (sugary cereal) and the University EP because the bars are based on the candy bar.

Thanks to ATS Sandy for the generous use of her awesome stuff. And Arsil for the original idea and the code snippets I pulled from their mod.

AAVE in Kpop Fandoms

(sorry for grammar mistakes/typos im just not feeling it right now lol)

I just feel that this is something that needs to be talked about, not everyone would agree but for those that do, please read and feel free to share your own opinions or experiences.

AAVE has taken over the kpop fandom. If you dont know aave, it is african american vernacular english or black english as referred to by some (or ghetto english as referred to by…some). If you still don’t know what it is well then google is your best friend. The use of aave is seriously the most annoying thing that I would have never expected to annoy me…ever. I know you’re probably wondering why, right? It is because I, myself, am an aave user and have been all of my life. It is my preferred way of speech, although I use “proper” english a majority of the time. So yeah although I speak the “proper” english dialect, my dialect is that of certain southern aave. So how am I annoyed by my own/similar dialects? There are many reasons that I will discuss but it is mainly because aave is utterly, unremarkably overly used all the while being misused to the point that it isnt even ridiculous anymore; its maddening. You think I’m being dramatic? I wish I were, because I am so mad right now. (lol nah just a little bit)

The amount of kpop fans misusing words [and/or phrase] like “hater” [or “hate on”] is just cringe worthy. But its not just that, there are other aave words and phrases that are misused; i’m sure that we all can think of one that gets on our nerves when used incorrectly. I simply brought up “hater” and “hate on” because its just everywhere, i cant escape it, especially on this blog in particular. (not towards the admins i love you guys!)

A lot of kpop fans (we all know those kpop fans) even have the audacity to argue using aave and cant even properly get that way of speech off of their tongues none-the-less off the tips of their fingers to type like… what makes them think…? ..Idek. Or, even worse, they try to boast their bias(es) by using aave…but they use it wrongly (lmfao) -_-. Its just… its bad. (I wish I could give proper examples but i’m sure someone can share some examples that bugs them or that they’ve seen often. However, Its no biggie really.) I guess the one thing i can think of is people telling others to “stop hating on (bias’ name)” but its like seriously your bias, is (probably) freaking amazing, no one is hating on them simply because we are criticizing something (bias) has done. Everyone should be accountable for their mistakes and/or actions; simply calling them out is NOT “hating” in any shape or form. People act as though you cant constructively criticize anymore; foreal though how are people gonna get any better if there is not any acknowledgements, acceptance, nor accountability for their actions? That just allows them to just do what ever they please and people will still mindlessly worship the ground they walk on…that’s just not okay. I may have digressed a bit but… lol.

Anyway, the point of this submission is not to tell people to stop using aave nor to just rant (ok so yeah it is a rant but its not ONLY a rant ok lol) but I just want people to be aware of the things that they are saying. If you are going to use it, at least have some kind of foundation of the meaning(s) behind them, where it comes from, and learn how to use it properly (and actually have some respect for those that do use it in life because wow ppl talk mad shxt towards frequent aave users but majority of them try to use the same words/phrases to look “cool” or to impress others. No, stop, dunt do that.) AAVE is like speaking a new language and it has its ways that work and its ways that do not work. Believe it or not, aave has its own structure. The people that are not aware of this are just butchering it because of the lack of…exposure to actual USERS of the dialect(s). (Because foreal foreal, how many non-black (or non-african american) kpop fans have besties from the hood. Not saying that all aave is spoken from people inside those areas but a lot of it does come from there, just an example.)

One more thing that I have noticed about the use of aave in relation to kpop blogs: The blogs that are obviously black (or african american) and use frequent and proper aave (yes proper because lets admit that even some blacks cannot use aave properly lol they arent expected to ofc im js) are blogs that tend to not be as popular. They have all the components of a quality blog and are amazing people but just…not popular or even known; especially not as popular as the obviously non-black kpop blogs that stan kpop-hiphop and have the frequent misuses of aave (and often culture appropriation, which the misuse(s) of aave can been seen as such also). However, that’s just my observation but, I think that says a lot about the kpop fandom…

Well, that is it! I hope you guys had a good read or something!

Pausing the shenanigans for a moment, can we maybe do away with the narrative that Kendrick Lamar is purely just “a hater”? I know it’s hard for white people especially to see the Black struggle and our lives as something other than entertainment for your Sunday nights, but let’s not forget Kendrick directly criticized Drake for using African American culture especially for a cash grab, without actually giving back to the communities who loved and supported him for so long.

I know it’s fun to dance on people’s graves, especially Drake’s, but I beg nonblack people to stop diluting Kendrick’s messages to him purely just being a petty lil’ hater.

TEXT CHANGES

azalea > columbine indian blanket > poppy sulfur > anemone sweet william > queen anne’s lace black eyed susan > candytuft

The Imperial Palace (Download)

Early follower’s gift to celebrate my first anniversary on tumblr…

Have you ever dreamed of being not just an ordinary monarch but an emperor? Well, during Middle Ages that title mostly went to a German. But this comfortable residence allows you to catch the feeling of imperial power:

Imperial Palace

It’s no castle because medieval Emperors did not settle at a permanent residence. Instead, they travelled across their gigantic realm and used so called palatia (sg. Palatium or Pfalz in German). This lot is modelled after these great residences (especially from the 10th century). I tried to stay faithful to Romanesque architecture (excuse the Gothic windows) and because this is set in an early period you won’t find too much lavish decoration.

The great Hall with the royal apartments…

The chancery where books and diplomata are produced…

The Emperor’s throne in the cathedral…

Inside the Cathedral…

Queen’s apartments…

Great Hall…

Medieval Pit-houses behind the palace…

Private Clinic - Psychiatry

Ever want to do something to help all the messed up Sims in your town? With this mod, your Sim can run a private clinic as a therapist.

You can join the Psychiatry career, buy a Therapist couch and start treating patients for all their emotional and mental maladies. Using a clinic controller object, patients will be pushed to your clinic lot in need of treatment. Active patients can be identified by the orange and white symbol over their head (pictured above).

This is the first part of a larger game mod that allows Sims to be more active doctors similar to what we have in TS4 Get to Work. Your Sim will be able to run a clinic out of their house or from a commercial lot and treat patients for different ailments. Eventually you'll be able to play as a Psychiatrist, Optometrist, Ob-GyM, or a General Physician.

This mod also adds two additional features:

Medicine - Sims can buy prescription or over-the-counter medicine to treat various mild ailments. Medicines can be purchased at the grocery store (Home section) or Buy catalog. There is also a collection file where you can find all available objects. Prescription medicine can only be obtained at the grocery store or hospital with a prescription.

Drug Addiction - Sims can get addicted to the prescription medicine if they overuse it. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms and potential overdose. There is an option to go to rehab at the hospital for Sims that need the help to kick the habit.

You need NRaas Careers (for the custom career), University, Island Paradise, Ambitions EPs.

Download instructions:

The Private Clinic main module has all the medicines, the clinic controller and addiction system. You need that to play as a Therapist but if you just want the medicines, you only need to download these files. Note that you cannot write prescriptions or do anything doctor related without downloading the Psychiatry module. Download here

There is also a collection file which has all the available objects

The Psychiatry module is required to play as a therapist. The career is optional but some features won't be available without it. Download here

There are documentation files in both folders that go through the features in detail so PLEASE READ through them before downloading.

Credits/Thanks: All the objects except for the Couch which is EA's are from @aroundthesims so thanks as always to Sandy for her wonderful stuff and generous use policy. Buff images are courtesy of Freepik. Thanks to everyone on the S3 Creators Discord that did early testing for the mod, especially @misspats3 who tests like it's her job with photos, videos, detailed notes. 👌 Also to Battery who helped me with the manager system.

As always if you have any issues (resets, missing strings, etc.) please let me know.
