mini dedication essay to black simmers and ts4 creators below! pls read if you have the chance! <3
this edit is a small homage to afrofuturism and the various unique black hairstyles (and especially the black creators of most of these hairs) that i have downloaded and admired over the years! some of these are old and some of these are new.
to me, afrofuturism means constantly honoring/reclaiming/challenging the past while constantly creating/dreaming of a better society/world/future. a society/world/future that embraces and empowers all of our differences, ingenuity, aspirations, and unique lived/cultural experiences. a society/world/future that does not limit us through the various systems of marginalization and oppression (racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, classism, colorism, etc.) that often affects how we, as black people, live today.
blackness is so diverse and intricate yet it's always been a struggle to find my culture within a game that's known for being so limiting, bland, and extremely eurocentric when it comes to hairstyles, clothing, food traditions/events, etc. black simmers have always had to figure out how to make this game more inclusive and make it resemble either more like how our ancestors lived, how our current lives are, or how we would want our lives (and even our children's lives) to look like in the future no matter how dystopian the real world look and feel now. fortunately, these hairs and their uniqueness bring a huge sense of culture and style to this game. they have always inspired me and made me feel extremely proud to a part of the lovely african diaspora (and the ever-growing black simmer community).
in a way, being a black simmer and cc creator usually means that we are often digitally creating our own worlds as afrofuturists to varying degrees (whether we know it or not) every time we open our game, make our sims, make houses, and/or make black cultural cc. also, now i know that cc making is not easy to do and is extremely time-consuming so this post is also just me giving all black cc creators especially those who create for free their well-deserved flowers! here are some other black cc creators who created cc that have greatly impacted my game since i first started playing sims 4: @/leeleesims1 @/simtric @/hi-land @/yuyulie @/sims4bradshaw @/ebonixsims @/xmiramira @/sheabuttyr @/qwertysims @/oplerims @/sleepingsims @/shespeakssimlish and so many more im forgetting probably (im too shy rn to tag ppl but i greatly appreciate y’all fr i hope y’all telepathically get this message somehow 😭).
last but not least, i am hoping that this inspires somebody to keep creating or start creating regardless of what they think their skill level is! somebody will absolutely fall in love with your work and/or your art/work will 100% change someone's game forever <333
i was bored so i made some bikinis really quickly hehe.
we have 5 swatches of some misc swimwear outfits (+2 that are also barefoot everyday lounge outfits). tf-af, on maxis meshes, repo'd. dxt5 compression.
-voiceofthefell's hot topic bikinis (specifically the green checker board & invaderzim swatches) mixed with @rented-space 3t2 tie bikini.
-a random aquatic recolor of a bg bikini bottom i made to match some random bikini top i got from a sim
-an edited version of a very old simplystyling outfit, featuring no ribbon
-a swatch inspired by the outfit ayesha wore in the big juicy cover, featuring jean shorts by dgandy i def need to make version of the last two with shoes but i was too lazy to do it now :(

It used to be curled up inside my rib cage, asleep, right next to my heart.
It used to sleep peacefully, it used to ache dully.
But it’s grown fitful.
It can’t quite keep quiet anymore, it growls and thrashes, threatens to travel up my esophagus
and escape from between my two lips.
Oh, fellow members of Team Edward,
my secret heard Britney Spears’ “Criminal,” it saw kitty_twilight_girl💜’s breathtaking edit,
and it fell in love.
Maybe something is wrong with me.
I have no pink diary with a lock and key to confess my blood drained secret to, and certainly no glitter gel pens to get my point across.
No best girl friend to giggle to about how absolutely head over heels I am for tall, pale, and handsome. And certainly no sleepover under the covers with a flashlight to get my point across.
For I am a boy.
A boy with a YouTube account and a terrible secret.
A boy who is in love with Edward Cullen.
A boy who could treat Edward better than that bitch Bella ever could.
A boy who will surely be punished.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination.
But has anyone ever thought to ask…
what about vampirekind?
How strange is it to be a boy who is in love with Edward Cullen, how strange is it to be anything at all.
───
Dear fellow Batman fans,
I am here to make a confession.
A confession to you,
a confession to myself.
I never thought there would ever be a confession more terrifying than the one I had to make to my dad last summer, my dad with his furrowed brow and his meticulously ironed button-up shirts and his shiny silver cross.
I was wrong.
I hit his shiny silver car’s window with a fly ball. The window shattered. I was sure our relationship would follow suit.
Miraculously though, it held together.
Barely.
But oh, fellow members of Dano Nation,
upon hearing Ayesha Erotica’s “Emo Boy,” and seeing danoz.boytoy’s stunning edit,
I have fallen in love.
But unlike danoz.boytoy, I do not want Bruce Wayne to “dick me down.”
(Their words, not mine.)
I want to brood, I want to punch, I want to smear my eyelids with black liquid anger.
But I cannot.
For I am a girl.
A girl with a TikTok account and a terrible secret.
A girl who would make a better Batman than that bitch Robert Pattinson ever could.
Something is definitely wrong with me, and I will surely be punished.
I had to pay for the broken window, but there is no amount of money that could buy my father’s understanding. I mean, how could anyone possibly understand that
I
am
Batman.
How strange is it to be girl who is Batman, how strange is it to be anything at all.
Lowkey miss last year after The Batman had just come out, everyone was obsessed with Paul Dano and my tiktok feed was pretty much just edits of Battinson to Emo Boy by Ayesha Erotica and Paul Dano
"oh. So you heard- yes, me singing Ayesha erotica loudly at 1:00am? Oh goodness, I'm so sorry my dear."
"are you the reason I lost my sewing needle? Can you give it back? Please sir, I'm trying to make a plushie."
"do you at least wash your hands between fighting off cockroaches and stealing my Skittles? Oh, no, it's okay, just wash your hands first."
AHAHAHA These are great.
Yeah, I would most definitely have to apologize for my late night karaoke sessions too 😭
The last one tho?? ABSOLUTELY Sal and Mark. Sal is a dirty little gremlin man and Mark is ready to get the spray bottle out if he finds Sal tracking dirt onto his countertops let alone in his food.
Sal is one more failed borrowing mission away from getting waterboarded a bath.

This can happen in other cases too. I think this was actually a mod.... (Ah yes, River is dreaming of something)
Talking about River, during the years I don't remember seeing River in many gameplays of other Simmers. I know Holly and Lisa were common. Bebe sometimes too.
I found the eyes funny 🤩
I'm probably capable of remembering half of my classmates' names. With pictures it's probably easier for me to identify them from professional school back to 3/4th grade maybe? All Sunset Valians of the base game I can list them down without needing pictures.
The images look hideous the ore I look at it. (Gotta love seeing Lisa with those firecracker things inside the house. It's totally canon 😆)
Most of the drama I do contains random "vanishing" Sims or ruining Sims' love lives.
Why is there even a cheerleader outfit?
If she wasn't eating, I could sell this as Mermaidman's invisible car.
Who needs to carry a stool anyway? (Eco, you idiot they have a backpack capable of fitting 30 cars, 20 drumsets, 10 books and a Italy. It's the equivalent of a boy's pocket)
This is literally the truth, most of the jeans for women/girls have decor pockets, because.....they're useless I guess.
Nah I wasn't over yet. I just realized, I should have left this in the previous post, but it's alright. (Bonus question: Can you recognize the SIms behind the costume? 😎It's probably too obvious 😐)
Well, I heard this from comments on Youtube under the Simlished Song "Na Na Na" I would do the same, if I were able to sing.
So beautiful 😍 But my heart belongs to Xander Clavell with Ayesha Ansari 🤠🥺
OH, I read this theory on the Sims WIkia and actually......it would make sense, eventually? Or not eventually? My head also hurts and I think I wrote nonsense here, but there is a theory of TS2 Kaylynn being the daughter of Parker Langerak.
VIDEO CAPTION: Me picking a teenage girl to play with.
Alternate titles:
Me looking for a love interest
Me looking for a main superheroine protag
Me looking for someone to piss off
Me looking for someone to give the life she deserves
Me looking for a cameo to use in fanfics
Ok actually that was meant to be the last meme, but as this clip of Greg's diary is going around Instagram, etc. I have my outtake 😂 This was me after returning to Sims 3 after the pandemic started.
EDIT: I forgot these two pictures 🤣
That moment reminded me of specific scenes from iconic movies.
Kieran Culkin X Roman Roy X Tome Mi Foto by Ayesha Erotica
I like to think this is Roman after the merger and he started The Hundred. It took off faster than he thought and he’s actually more successful than ever.
Ignore that I spelled foto wrong, I edited the last one and this one on the same day. My brain was so fried.
what’s your phone wallpaper : If it's ever not the Kresnik brothers, assume someone stole my phone/I have been replaced by an AI.
last song you listened to: Yesterday's Opponents are Today's Ingredients -- Atelier Ayesha [Doing BGM for a special Ludger run]
currently reading : I permanently stalk/reread the Julius Will Kresnik tag on AO3 once a week so IDK anything in there, consider it current.
last movie : Beauty and the Beast (Original) cause I found an old set of VHS tapes and player I had.
last show : Rewatched the Devil May Cry anime recently, so it counts.
what are you wearing right now: Most socially acceptable short clothes cause hot outside. And little pendant of Ludger's blades. ;U
piercings / tattoos? : N/A cause I'd chicken out within 10 seconds.
glasses ? contacts?: Glasses [I considered getting the Julius frames, but $150? Nothxbruh
last thing you ate? : Popcorn cause it's all I got left around the place.
favorite color(s) : White and Green.
current obsession: Xillia 2 can and will forever haunt my brain like a virus. Samurai Warriors has also seen a resurgence in my memory; Magoichi and Gracia stan for lyfe.
favorite fictional character: You all know I'll say Julius Will Kresnik, and you are correct to assume that. Though I'll call out an OG love I still have as well in Maximilian from Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2; I almost went into construction to follow my boi.

The scarf on my head
Does not cover my brain.
I think, I speak, but still you refrain
From accepting my ideals, my type of dress,
You refuse to believe
That I am not oppressed.
@storyseekers event 05 : retellings — ayesha at last
— have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend your life with someone like me? have you ever wondered what it would be like to open your heart to something unexpected, someone wholly anticipated? because i am starting to wonder. actually i am having a hard time thinking of anything else.
