We have entered the season of cold temperatures. This is a friendly reminder to tap tap tap on your hoods & wheels and blow your horn.

The numbers of cats being injured or killed are far higher than people are aware of 😓😓.

⚠️ 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! 🫶🏾

UPDATES!

it’s been a while, right? coming by just to drop some updates.

• i close down my patreon page. maybe in the future, i’ll create a ko-fi, so anyone that have interest in supporting me can send a tip, but it’s a maybe. after a canceled pledge, i realise having a patreon would force me to create as obligation and everything there is outdated, i was even surprised someone subscribed with me being inactive for one year. i was so conflicted with this early access thing because i put this condition there in the past, but i’m so glad i can deactivate now and create cc when i want to.
• i’m finally diagnosed with autism last year, a lot of things makes sense for me now.
• from now on, i will drop my cc on @inanuos-cc, i will still reblog there to spread the new account, but i think it would be good to warning you.

maybe, in the future i change my username, cause i don’t like this one as much as before, i don’t like the visual and aesthetics of this blog in general now.

sorry for the late reply! unfortunely, i don’t have this hair anymore, my old pc broke and i clean my cc folder very often. so i don’t know what hair the model was using, sorry :(

6 mo puppy Gizmo is lethargic; has been vomiting and hasn’t been eating/drinking for 48hrs. If you can help we need an er vet visit. Cash app: $themissymandy venmo: themissymandy PayPal: agrones115@gmail.com min $85 to get in the door. Please reblog if help if you can. Will offer any graphics or whatever in return or pay back if needed on the 8th. We get paid biweekly and we had zero leftover funds after bills, gas, food etc last weekend.

Early Access Creators - YOU CANNOT SIT THE FENCE THIS TIME. :|

Look, I love y'all. I know you don't want to participate in so-called "drama" because you think it's messy and shit. I get that, I do. But here's the deal. Cowbuild and her cronies are making the whole patreon method of dealing with the sims look bad, and that affects YOU guys too.

Because of these bad apples, there are some people questioning if patreon is safe. Especially because Anto is involved, and he USED TO BE EARLY ACCESS.

You guys need to join in on calling this out and saying "No. This is not okay. We do not accept it, and we do not want this to be part of our community."

I and others have tried to explain that these bad apples don't spoil the whole bunch, but when y'all choose to be silent on the issue, you don't help your case. So now is the time to speak up. You don't have to make your own post even. Just REBLOGGING what's already been shared is enough.

Hey my loves, I am just dropping this to spread awareness.

Please notice, I don’t have the FULL context cause I am sick and still recover and I was away from tumblr for some time. I just got messaged by a lovely simmer and was made aware of it. 

But let me tell you one thing, I value each and every Patron and it wouldn’t cross my mind to sell those information's, nor do I have the time to send out individual links. Everything that is in early access you get it on my patreon and nowhere else right when you subscribe without any hassle.

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for disappearing, but things have been a lot. My cat Lucky got severely ill and she has been diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). It's been weeks of rushing to the vet and eventually a 5 day stay at the animal clinic. Until a few years ago this was a terminal illness, but now there's an experimental treatment. It's a heavy treatment that requires daily injections for 3 months, but so far the results have been promising. It's also a very expensive treatment on top of all the vet and hospital bills. And because I needed 1,5 days off during the height of the emergency, my work was not understanding so I'm on the job hunt again.

I have some build wips and I hope to finish one this weekend now things are regaining some normalcy and I'll answer the few asks in my mailbox as well.

I'm not one to beg for money, but Lucky's medical bills will easily run up to 3000 euro's by the end of the treatment. So I'll leave a link to my Kofi here, but I know it's my responsibility to carry.

See you all soon again with some fun builds for your sims!

PS: the picture is from before she got sick. She has a rare FIP symptom that caused a lot of wounds and blisters around the head region and those are not fully healed. I'd rather not show her like that as it can be triggering.
