So sad because Gshade worked 100% better than reshade ever did for me.

After seeing the rest of the story I get it now (no it’s not malware that infects your computer and steals your credit card, but rather deletes outside add ons and force restarts your computer if those are found. And that forced restart is what’s considered malicious).

Im disappointed in how the gshade dev handled the situation and personally am going to give reshade another try. I don’t like the idea of anyone having the power to add potentially damaging code to a program I use for my side hobby.

Heads up hoes; the GShade dev has gone off the fucking rails and turned the damn program into malware. If you're using it for The Sims, FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, etc, it's a good time to uninstall it, after this recent update.

If the program detects it has been modified in any sort of way, it reboots your PC.

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

Could I have the Rosie Skin please?

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.

Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.

“Grace?”

Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.

“What are you doing Grace?”

It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”

He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”

“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.

He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”

She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.

Hello again :)

Hello, to those of you still hanging around here! So sorry I missed Simblrween this year, but I'm happy to share that I have some new CAS Backgrounds coming out tomorrow, and more almost ready (just need preview pics) to release soon! So yay for more conversions coming! If you'd like to read on about what else I'm working on and what I've been doing in my personal life read below :)

First if I've been a little MIA its because I just delivered a healthy baby boy. Yay! But pregnancy left me super tired so I had very little energy left for conversions. I've still been building and trying to play a little rotationally, so I may share some more of the pics from that play time but we'll see.

As far as conversions I have some small "mini sets" of buy mode CC as well as a LOT of half finished conversions that I'd like to polish up and at least share the finished parts. Converting is such a learning curve and because of all the other things I've had going on in RL it hasn't been a priority to continue to poke around and trouble shoot. But with that said, I have also learned a lot and gotten some help (shout out to the amazing Creator's Cave Discord) so while I'm in the simming mood I'd love to give back to all of you and hit that publish button before life gets busy again so stay tuned. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy tomorrows CAS backgrounds! Have a great day

Such a stunning house! I already have a Sim in mind for it in my GEN two. Amazing work @confessionsofasimmingfreak! 💕

Hey! Today i’m sharing with you guys a new house, i hope you like it! <3

It’s an empty house on a 50x50 lot with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house was build on The Winchester Farming Community world by My Sim Realty.

TOU:

don’t claim my creations as your own;

don’t upload them to paysites.

If you use them, tag confessionsofasimmingfreak  so i can see and reblog them!

“Grace, what are you doing out here?” Matt came and stood beside her on the deck railing, as he closed the door the happy chatter of Bible Study grew dim again and the summertime crickets returned.

Gracie let Matt lean next to her and she pointed to the stars. “It’s a meteor show tonight. It doesn’t start ‘til later but I thought I’d see if I could find any shooting stars. Plus it was getting a little stuffy in there. I mean its great that it’s so full,” Gracie began to stammer, not wanting him to get the wrong idea. “I love seeing so many people at our home group, all hungry to learn about Jesus, don’t get me wrong…”

“It’s just a lot of new faces at once right?” He asked gently. Gracie relaxed and nodded “I hear you. Plus it’s so nice out here! Want to sit?” Matt motioned to the ground and Gracie joined him, a respectable space away. They started pointing out constellations and easily chatting as the night grew darker, and slowly the bible study inside emptied of people. “Hey Grace?” “Yeah?”

“Do you know that I like you?” His voice was timid, which was different from his usual cocky confidence.

But Gracie was to focused on the sky to notice. “Yeah, of course. I mean I like being friends too.” “No, I mean I like you silly girl,” Matt said again, realizing she had no clue. He looked deeply at her as her head whipped around to look at him.

“Me?” She squeaked, and then began coughing. Matt laughed and patted her back until she stopped. “I’m flattered, I mean, I guess I hoped, but I just didn’t think I was your type I guess. I thought photographers only dated models? I just…” She stopped as Matt laughed again, and she felt her nervous heart beating fast.

“Well then you be my new model. Grace, you’re beautiful, you’re smart and kind, why wouldn’t you be my type?” “Ha, me a model, yeah right. You need someone fancier, whose idea of  a good Saturday is a day at the spa and a photo shoot on the beach, not a girl like me who spends her day knee deep in dirt in the garden, grading children’s papers and watching movies with her cat.”

“But I love cats!”

Gracie laughed, “Well we’ll have to see if my cat likes you.” “Deal, so if your cat likes me will you go out with me?” Gracie decided to tease, “I mean, I guess, but that’s pretty risky she doesn’t  like a lot of people.” “I’ll take my chances”
