Thoughts on why and what they hoped to accomplish will be speculated for years to come. As things are, still can't half the morons in this country to say it was a lab leak, because Trump raised the question and Fauci The Great told them it wasn't.

Remember that mistakes are made (not being as deadly to Asians), and that they probably were not done re-engineering the virus when it got out... or was being released in a control test to see how well it would work. Besides, I doubt China would care how deadly the virus was to others, as long as it killed enough of their peasant population. And as to new strains, doubt it was part of the plan. Sure, they may have figured on mutation of the virus, didn't know if it would be stronger or weaker than the first, but with a single minded goal of cutting population, they wouldn't care. I doubt China would target blacks and Hispanics, as no country with those as a primary population is in any position to challenge them should they become more agressive internationally. Dolphins in the tuna nets. (Although I believe that would more be Japan, but the thought line remains)

Think more devious. If you want to knock off as much of the peasant population as possible, you don't get some crazy foreign virus. You go to the backyard, where you have this nice little virus that many know of, and know it NEVER hurt humans. It's already found in regions of your target... poor villagers and rice farmers, who eat bats found in wet markets. They don't get much, but billions are still a strain on government, so time to thin the herd. Get the bat virus and see how deadly and contagious it can be made, and transmisible to humans. It will spread from village to village, and cut down the population, especially poor villagers... But first we need to be sure we have antidote for the rich, and our productive workers. Oooopsy! What do you mean it got out? Either that, or it was to have been a control test that no one outside of China was to hear about. A few hundred dead villagers would not be big news around the world if the virus never got out, and China shuts the story down.

I'm sure Chairman Xi has a lovely estate waiting for him. Covid in bats AND wet markets in same region for maybe thousands of years. Obama banned "gain of function" research in the US. So, people like Fauci and Collins funneled US taxpayer funds to a China government lab via 3rd party, basically money laundering, to do the Frankenstien experiments. There is only one reason to increase contageousness and verility of a non lethal, non infectious virus (which on the surface, mimics flu symptoms)... a weapon. Honestly, I think the purpose was intended as population control within China, and the "leak" may have been meant as an isolated test that went way wrong. Remember how US Pravda shut down Trump and anyone who mentioned a lab leak? And Fauci was the lead. Fauci was also the lead on Ebola, which made that mysterious jump from animal to human. I wonder if China had a secret lab there too?

Hoping more people might post game pics here, but in the meanwhile, I figured to post... "An Interview With Death" Interviewer: Welcome, Miss Death, and thank you for agreeing to do an interview with me today. Death: Thank you for inviting me... And just call me Death. Interviewer: Okay, Death, let's get to it, shall we? Tell me about you. Your childhood, stuff like that. Death: Well, I wasn't really "born", in the convetional sense, as people are. More like mom and Father decided to have kids, and poof! There I was! Basically the same with all of my brothers and sisters. Interviewer: So, there was no... you know... Death: OY! All the time back then, as I understand, but that's not how I came to be. Interviewer: Oh, I see. Kind of like magic? Death: Perhaps you would call it that, if it helps your mind to comprehend. Interviewer: You mentioned brothers and sisters. How is your family? Death: Mother and my sisters are well, thanks. We don't see Father or our brothers much these days, though. Interviewer: Tell me about them... your family, I mean... Death: Mother's name is Lucifera. Father used to call her his Morningstar. It was so sweet. She was always his favorite angel. They had quite the romance since the dawn of time... more or less. My sisters are nice girls... in their own ways, but keep me busy some times. They are always out causing trouble... War, Famine and Plague... OY! Plague went overboard past couple of years. I hope she gives the world a break soon. Interviewer: You didn't say much about your father. Your parents are split up? Death: Well, mother and Father had a big blow up several millennia ago over some silly new toy that Father made... Actually, it was you... Interviewer: Me? I never met your parents. Death: Not you specificly... man, mankind, people... you know. He made a boy and called him Adam, and a girl named Lilith. Anyway, he was spending all his time tinkering with his new toys, and mother felt neglected and kind of sabotaged the whole project. Woman's scorn and all... She left his Adam toy alone, but made Father's Lilith toy stop listening to his Adam toy, so Father made a new girl one called Eve. Then mother gave the Eve toy an apple or something as a gift for the Adam toy and next thing we knew, they were getting a divorce! Interviewer: I guess it was one of those things where a little compromise from both parties could have saved a lot of heartache for everyone concerned? So, the divorce was messy? Death: Father knew all the good Jewish lawyers. Haha! I mean, he was still making them, but... Interviewer: I see. Death: Mother wasn't happy, and it turned into a huge boys against the girls celebrity death match. I still say Michael and Gabriel cheated. Never quite understood why Gabriel sided with the boys. She always was a bit of a tomboy, I guess. Butch hair style, never wore make up... Interviewer: So, where are you all living now? You, your mother and sisters, I mean??? Death: Father did give mother a property called Hades in the settlement. It's not that bad, actually. Nice river Stix flows nearby. Lots of bonefish. Personally, I find the Kraken to be a bit of a pest, but Davy Jones let's him out all of the time, and mother never says anything. You must pay the boatman to cross the river, but it's only a couple of coins. We have lots of company though. You see, I also collect souls... Usually I just send Reaper to do it, but every so often, I make a special appearance for the really nasty ones. Mother and Father made a deal that we get all the bad ones, but they aren't THAT bad... except for Hitler and Stalin... and Mao... maybe Ted Bundy... OY! And that Mother Teresa... Interviewer: WAIT WHAT? WHO??? Mother Teresa!?!? Death: Kidding! Just seeing if you were paying attention. But, I did make special appearances to collect those others. Interviewer: So, you have a sense of humor? Death: Of course I do. I still crack up over the platipus! Father takes all the credit, but it was partly my idea, you know. Besides, I'm not evil as many think. I'm a necessary part to every story... "The End". Can you imagine if no one died? Ever??? Talk about population over crowding. Interviewer: I guess that's true. So, about you're photoshoot... I see it went well. You're a lovely lady, by the way. When I was told I would be interviewing Death, I pictured this skeleton guy with a cythe wearing a cloak. Death: No, that's Reaper! No sense of humor. Loves her job though. Good kid at heart. Really needs to get out more... off the clock, I mean. Interviewer: Speaking of "off the clock", how about you. You seeing anyone? Death: My, my, I do declare! Are you flirting with Death, sir? Interviewer: Me, no, I... I... didn't mean it like that... I... Death: Oh relax! No, I'm not seeing anyone at the moment, although there is this cute succubus... Interviewer: Ah... so you swing that way? Death: Depends on my mood. My taste includes both snails and oysters. Interviewer: Good to know... I guess... So, about the pictorial... were you nervous to bare all for the camera? Death: A little at first, but my friend Grigori Rasputin had some tasty homemade vodka that loosened me up just enough. Fermented blood of virgins is so overrated. Mother swears by it. "Mother's little helper" don't ya know! Funny story about Grigori. He was one of my few slip ups. They killed the poor guy 12 times, but I had given Reaper the day off, and my nails weren't dry. Ooopsy! Interviewer: I noticed you look a bit different in some of the photos. Horns, a tail... hooves in some, but not others? Death: We... mom, my sisters and I can change form. Mom is strongest, and can appear completely human if she wishes... no scales... nothing! I have trouble with my eyes. I have been working on it, but just can't hide them. Same for Plague and Famine. I guess it has to do with the eyes being the path to the soul or something? And then there's War... well, she just doesn't care. Only reason she even hides her tail is because she doesn't want to cut holes in her grungy old leather pants! And the horns mess her hair. At least she usually hides that scar that Michael gave her. Interviewer: During that celebrity death match you spoke of? Death: No, they were just playing around with their swords, and got carried away. She says she likes it, and that's why she almost never hides it. Interviewer: Well, I must thank you for chatting with me today. It's been quite interesting and informative. Hope you have a safe trip back to Hell. Death: Thank you for such a gracious interview. I admit that I was more nervous about this than the pictorial. I hate "gotcha" media types. You were okay. And, I'll see you at your heart attack on 11 April, 2036... Interviewer: My, Wait, WHAT! Death: Unless, of course, you start excerising more... and ease up on the caffine! Tah! This has been, "An Interview With Death" "And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

I think more about the clientele. If enough people are willing to accept inferior junk... and actually pay for it, why bother putting in effort to make something good? As money is not my motivation, rather that I make things for myself and my game, and share when I think it's pretty good, PLUS... learning new (often old, but new to me) tools, tricks, methods, just trying something to see if I can, is how I approach things. Obviously, can't be said for everyone. Do I think I could "sell" some of my content? Probably, as not many making open bottom for TS3, and my FemmeBots are fairly unique. Would I go that route?

What you describe about TS4 has been going on for a while, and has been the subject of several threads on LL. TS4 is Patreon ads. Never quite understood premade Sims. Take a bunch of CC from 20 others, slap it in one Sim and sell it? BUY it???

Follow up to my previous post. Apparently, pulling back the curtain to expose a hate filled mod can work out, as that mod was removed from MTS! Do not know if by moderators or modder. Ukrainian names in TS3, yes... promoting Bandera, NEVER!

BS! We all know that you are capable of FAR more! But, LL is on the internet, and most here might agree they are quite "Cringe Worthy", as are several of their members. Again, we know which. So, something I personally find very cringe worthy... So, as I am also on MTS a bit, I check forums and mods there. Saw a mod to add Ukrainian names to TS3, so checked it out. This is Stepan Bandera. The mod creator used a Nazi collaborator, responsible the the deaths of millions of Polish, Ukrainians, Russians, Belarussians and more. I love my country, but it is the children (followers) of this man who now run Ukraine and provoked the bloody war in my country. I was sickened to see this, and made comment on the "thank you" page. So far, no comment from the mod creator, but one Bandera lover posted, followed by 2 others who also know who and what he was, and still represents to millions of nationalists. My next post will be lighter!

As I need to jump around, as not to get bored, I have been back working on the priyatna top and bottom for teen female. The top presents a unique problem for both af and tf. I imagine that 99% of people use Cmar's nude top and nipple sliders. Making a top is easy... getting it to work with Cmar's sliders is another story! The af bottom has had another reboning. I may need to do the same for the tf, but do not know yet. Good news, is that I may have finally managed to properly blend that pesky waist seam on the tf version. ))) As I have been using Cmar's top as my base, in order that the sliders work, I had inherited a bit of a seam issue. It looks as using MTK to transfer normals from my soft nipple bikini mesh worked, and now for a little more testing!!! Honestly, I still see a very light seam transition, but I may be at my limits on getting it any better. Sooooooooooooo....................

Had to post this here! 45 secs in... LOVE IT! 1:05... Hmmmm.... perhaps cringe worthy for the guys???

Or Gestapo.

It took them a while (maybe almost a month) to close my old account, but I can definitely say that I requested it... perhaps prematurely, before input from you and @ritualclarity. I will say that some "old friends" on LL do not seem so responsive lately.

NOTE: Aside from FemmeBots, I generally convert everything to basegame, BUT... as EP7 Supernatural is needed to have fairies, I made these directly from the EA EP7 garments, and that EP is required for these to show in your game. These are top and bottom for YA/A female Sims. They come in 3 matching presets, top with 4 recolorable channels, and bottom has 3 channels. Both are enabled for Everyday, Formalwear, Sleepwear, Swimwear, Athletic, Career, Outerwear, and ValidForMaternity. Thanks to Dahlia Goodfellow for modelling! I hope you like it!!!

2B update: Some success! As you can see, making her outfit as bot CAS legs, worked... of course, when trying something completely different, there are always details to be worked out. One that worked itself out is the texture detail. ))) I thought to offer a better look at what is going on with her body meshes. The boot mesh is basically the same as the one for female Sim, but slightly bigger at the tops to accomodate the increase in her thigh proportions and moving the UV for FemmeBot. Also, a few changes to the body itself... I have been toying with the "tight strap" look. Similar was done on the recently uploaded Gym Karen bottom. I added a few rows of vertices to give the thighs more of the appearance that they are squeezed by the straps. ) I also went more 3d with new buckles, and strap ends. The new mesh also has an "enhanced butt, with more cheek and a deeper crack, and a slight back arch. I have added these "features" to new BeRT T2 and T3 models, being developed as models to wear legs slot garments. Stay tuned!

View File LS_af GymKaren Set LadySmoks presents... garments for your Sim Gym Karens!!! Gym Karens are those self absorbed attention seekers who just know that EVERYONE else is checking out their butt, as they are checking out their butt in a mirror at the gym! Well, if your Sim is wearing this stuff, maybe they are! All garments for YA/A Female Sims, found in CAS as separate top, bottom and shoes. Bottoms are based on my Priyatna bottom mesh, and has a slightly enhanced butt with deeper crack... OY! Wedgie!!! The top is a basegame conversion of the EA EP9 Workout top, with 3d parts and my Priyatna soft nipples. It's cold in the gym! The leg warmers are "recycled" from JoshQ shoe parts and his custom feet. Nothing is by me. I just played with his meshes and textures! I hope you like it!!! Submitter LadySmoks Submitted 08/05/2022 Category Clothing  

Well, least you can do is make the pose package for your personal use.

I already group packages and merge them. YOU have your own "JoshQ Package". ) When I first did this, I didn't really group them as I should. I need to go back and rip the old merged packages apart and reorganize them.

You are making me crash my game! I continually must add outfits to all of my Sims, so I can have them wear all of your different shoes!!!! Townies and homeless Sims all get new shoes! My game is sooooooooooooo bloated from going to CAS and putting your shoes on EVERY female sim and making extra outfits so I can add MORE shoes! OY!!!

I think that is a repost of a pose tool set by cmomoney on MTS? But, I can neither find the original there. Simlogical shows it here, but either my internet is messing up, or the links are bad. All considered, I'm glad someone saved it and reposted. Have you use it as yet? I have played with it a few times, but nothing in the last few years. But, it does work!
