Updates for the Patches I Missed
I'm back, less patient for politics than before, and I'll now catch up on what I missed during my break. If you’re wondering why I disappear
I'm back, less patient for politics than before, and I'll now catch up on what I missed during my break.
If you’re wondering why I disappeared: long story short, I don’t buy the new EPs myself, the game isn't mine, so I was missing the files for the Business expansion, and I couldn't do much without those.

Always Wear a Towel After Shower and Bath
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A NEW POST FOR JULY PATCH, NEW UPDATES BELOW
Since I'm testing mods by adding them one at time and playing them, here are those I cleared so far, no updates needed:
Autonomy Toggle, Romance Lock, Ages Behaviour Tweaks, Security Lock on More Objects, Go For Jog&Walk Together, Customisable Standing Idle, Visible Needs, Grab Beer and Wine from fridge, Custom Degrees
Custom Cheats unlocked the new rewards for the event and updated the cheat to complete the quests.
Career Rework Chance Cards cheats only (for now): Work - School
Expanded Gym (I managed to finish updating at least this one, this patch broke a lot of stuff)
Black Magic (Under review on curseforge, you can get it from drive in its own post for now) this took ages to fix, sorry about it. Everything should be back working now, if it gives other problems, let me know.
Walkby Overhaul I've been working on this one for nearly two weeks.
Assign NPC Roles - Private Filters
By the way, removing the pronouns seems to not be working anymore, whatever you do to the templates now stops premades from being generated.
Always Wear a Towel After Shower
By the way, I heard the lovely people at Wired decided to stop by on behalf of the Woke Inquisition, searching for the mark of their mortal enemy—the Arch-Demon Bigotry, of whom ChatGPT was kind enough to provide a drawing.
I might just start using postmodernism against them. Terms like "bigot" have no inherent meaning: none. They’re empty containers until someone pours meaning into them, and the meaning is always projected, always contextual, and always strategic.
These are instruments of power, and that power depends on consensus.
Withdraw consensus, and their entire demonology collapses. Transphobia, racism, inclusivity, diversity, all of it, turns into what it actually is: morally loaded jargon, meaningless without the crowd to chant along.
From now on, all these purity campaigns will get is unapologetic mockery for blabbering about meaningless stuff. I’ve simply decided to withdraw consensus altogether.

I love what you said and your reaction to the article and "witch hunts". For me, as someone naturally born with both testicals and ovaries, I find the pronoun thing useful because I make a lot of weird-mixed-sex characters, especially fantasy and aliens, and I like to make the fairies either have no sex or be both, because a lot of lore on the fae states this to be common for fae but not all fae. So i like the features they added to be able to make mixed-sex people or I have fictional new sexes (new ways to make babies that an alien species might have) and I can try to mimic those now and dont mind the pronouns because i can tell it what to use, and for species who its normal for all of them to be hermaphrodites it makes most sense to call them either "they" instead of he/she or whatever word they use in their own language. Now I have the ability to do that. So I dont personally want the ones who have made to help people who dont want those features, but I respect that everyone's different and don't judge it at all. I'm so glad someone is fighting back against the policing of thoughts and ideas with such logic that I haven't met more than one other person before reading your stuff that can think intelligently enough to offer that kind of argument back. I'm so glad you are brave enough to do it publicly and won't bow to them or run away. I wouldn't fault you for either but it's cool to see someone being brave
I don't even play TS4 anymore, finally packed it in, honestly largely due to the AWFUL EA app that crashes every 4 seconds. But I'll still support you every month (not much I know lol) - not saying this to get any kudos or anything just to highlight how much I admire you (and anyone) who isn't afraid to express their opinion against a fighting tide of hate towards you, completely unfair hate & BS.

Offs. I forgot that Wired even existed. They are American publishers (once upon a time known as "JOURNALISM") and supposedly all about free speech. Key word here is "supposedly". Of course, here they are demanding censorship. Yawn. I fully support and admire you for not bending over for these minions. I agree about their empty phrases and never-ending stream of bullshit. Anyway, glad to hear you are doing well and hope you never let these these losers bring you down. I hope that for all of us.
Glad you took a break. Your mods are awesome but behind every mod is a human. Oh my goodness. So because you made mods that are considerate of all of us, not just one community or the other, you are the victim of a witch hunt? Enough is Enough! Not to be overly political (because I hate it) but there are 300 million in this country. Don't we all deserve representation? I like the word "husband." EA should make it so I can CHOOSE to use husband. Why do we have to be force fed this nonsense.
Thai Rivera, the gay comedian who is completely against this trans nonsense, said in one of his videos the trans community says "We see you bending over backwards for us but that isn't enough. Now we want you on your knees. And that's when they went wrong". It's really funny stuff and completely correct. He rails about this on youtube. check it out.
Glad to see you around Zero, and yeah, I get the feeling they would come after you eventhough your mod wasn't as "bad" as the DEI remover, but honestly, it's a single player game, and there's worse mod than that or removing "inclusive" languages (which not all of us agreed on).. There's literal m*rder, s*x, prost*tution mods.. and they are up and armed over DEI and language??? LOL.
They just make tantrums because they can... It's their wrapped up logic, they're just bossy brats out to dominate others because society still tolerates it.
Thank you :) You speak for the quite majority, not the loud few!
It's good to have you back! Thank you for your service ❤️
Good to know you're still kicking! Hope all is doing well.
