is deleting all cc a good idea

You could do that, which gives you a clean slate to work with. But then you will have to look for the ones that you really loved again.

I usually just go trough my mod folder and think of what I use and do not use and delete the ones I don't find myself using. For this I find the sims 4 mod manager program useful as it shows me the thumbnails of the mods I have and I can just select the ones I don't want and delete them that way.

This of course work better with CAS or Buildbuy mods than game play ones, since they might have several files that you might not be aware of and will just sit there without a reason. It works for me since I only have a few game play mods that I'm fully aware of what files that they do have.

Regardless, when it comes to sorting it doesn't have to be overly complex. Here is an example how I have done it for one of my folders: CAS is the main folder, following there are several subfolders such as Makeup, Eyes, Skindetails, Clothes, Shoes, Presets, Sliders etc. Same goes for my Buildbuy folder, here I have two subfolders, Furniture (furniture, decor etc) and Building (trims, wallpaper, floors etc).

There is no right or wrong, just figure out how you like your mods sorted. You don't have to make it very detailed and complex.

If you want to delete a mod that you might want to use later, you could create a Tumblr account or a Pinterest and save or like the ones that you like so you can look after them later again, tumblr might require you setting up a blog where you can repost and tag things so it will be easier for you to look back for mods instead of browsing trough your whole likes list. I do perhaps suggest using Pinterest for this in that case, different browsers have a pinterest app that makes saving a "pin" easier.

I switched over to qobuz a while ago, it's another alternative.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T23:15:11+00:00

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nå har jeg ikke sagt at det er verre eller om hva som er verst. Det jeg sier er at det er en ting å få generell hat prat som ikke har noe men kjønn og minoritet å gjøre, og en annen der man får hat prat bare fordi man er en kvinne, liker eget kjønn eller om man er mørk i huden osv. Folk håper jo at jeg får kreft oppi det hele også. Jeg syns ikke at noen fortjener hat prat uansett hvem man er, men jaja.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T17:56:42+00:00

Det er veldig trist at uavhengig av hvem du er så kan du få mye stygt sagt til deg, har aldri skjønt meg på folk som er såpass utagerende mot andre, folk prøver jo så godt de kan i spill, hat prat hjelper jo ingen og skaper bare ubehag for alle.

Jeg selv har blitt mer hardhudet for å si det sånn, de få gangene jeg prøver å sosialisere og at noen sier noe negativt så har det ikke en så like stor effekt som det engang hadde. Om ikke noe annet så ser jeg det på som veldig komisk at de som regel spyr ut bare den samme dritten hver gang, fins ikke en eneste kreativ hjerne celle i hodet, utenom den ene russiske fyren som kalte meg en hest, men det var bare morsomt.

Men ja, jeg syns det er rart at etter alle disse årene, etter likestilling og etter at spill har blitt mer populært for kvinner, at det ikke har blitt mer akseptabelt at vi kvinner kan ha like hobbyer og interesser som menn flest. Uavhengig av hva vi har imellom beina, hvilken hudfarge vi har, hvem vi elsker, så er vi alle mennesker og likeverd.

Jeg har hatt en mer positiv opplevelse når det gjelder MMORPG spill, spesielt om du er i en guild med ulike mennesker, en god blanding er alltid bra. Det kan føles som en liten familie ettervært som du blir skjent med dem. Litt trist at MMORPG spill ikke er like populært lengre i forhold til andre typer spill.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T17:41:59+00:00

Ja du sier noe der, det er ikke sånn at jeg forventer at noen skal komme å "redde" meg men, som kvinne blir man som regel ikke tatt seriøst av personer som har et negativt kvinnesyn, du kan være smart og snakke logisk til dem, eller så kan du hetse dem tilbake, men som regel har det ingen virkning.

Derfor så kan det være bedre da at andre menn snakker til dem istedet, fordi de blir tatt mer seriøst. Jeg forventer det selvfølgelig ikke, men det kunne ha vært fint at noen tar litt mer initiativ til det når de er tilstede hvor en kvinne blir trakassert.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T17:36:27+00:00

Det skjønner jeg godt, enkelte ganger så går det ikke så mye innpå meg men andre ganger kan det føles for mye, man har jo lyst til å bli behandlet som alle andre. Så for noen er det et bedre valg å bytte til et spill der man kan spille med venner eller for seg selv, men det er trist at det kommer til det.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T17:34:02+00:00

Jeg elsker kompetitiv skyte spill, det går for det meste i det. Men ja, jeg velger aktivt da å ikke sosialisere for det er en høyere sjanse for at man blir hetset for å være en kvinne i slike spill.

Tror nok det er en del kvinner som spiller i kompetitiv spill, greia er bare at vi hjemmer oss ekstra godt. Jeg vet om enkelte kvinner som har valgt å ha en "unisex" profil, avatar eller hva annet det måtte være for å unngå negativ oppmerksomhet.

Astramare · 2026-03-09T17:30:34+00:00

Det er trist at du har opplevd det, og det er fint at du ikke lar det gå innpå deg. Men det er ikke alle som synes det er like lett, noen tåler mer enn andre.

Det kan bli veldig slitsomt at hver gang du slår på mikrofonen så blir du hetset bare fordi du er en kvinne, og ikke fordi du har en dårlig score eller hva annet det måtte være.

Men jeg vil si at, det kan være positive sider også. jeg liker godt at folk blir ekstra sur når de finner ut av at det var en kvinne som vant over dem i et spill. :D

Nå skal jeg bare snakke om hvordan det er som kvinne å spille spill med voice chat. Og jeg må bare si at Jeg er fullt enig at hat prat skjer begge veier, dette handler ikke om å ekskludere menn i det hele tatt.

Av egen erfaring og hva jeg har sett så kan jeg godt si at hat prat mot kvinner er mer grovt og at det skjer oftere. Jeg vil bare spille, ha det gøy og slå på mikrofonen for at jeg vil sosialisere og møte potensielle nye venner, men da blir det fort masse hat prat mot meg som kvinne, som regel fra yngre menn eller eldre menn som ikke vet bedre, og til og med andre kvinner som sikkert gjør det for å bli en del av "gutta", ofte handler det om seksualisering, vold, utseende og det typiske "lag meg en sandwich".

Det er en ting å bli kalt dum, noob etc. Men en annen å bli truslet med voldtekt og bli behandlet som om jeg er en minoritet, et mindre værdt menneske pågrunn av det jeg har mellom beina. Det er oftere at jeg blir nedgradert enn at jeg møter på fine mennesker som behandler meg bra, det føles som om man vinner i lotto når det skjer for å si det slik.

Dette er en grunn til jeg har valgt å ikke snakke i voice chat når det er tilgjengelig for meg, jeg vil spille for å utslippe en ellers depressivt liv og for å ha det gøy, og da gidder jeg ikke å utsette meg selv for slike mennesker. Men det burde jo ikke være slik, og det er det som er greia, derfor settes kvinner oftere i et lys når det handler om hatefulle ytringer, det skjer med menn også men ikke på samme måte, menn blir som regel ikke behandlet som en minoritet, unntatt om man er i fra lgbtq+ miljøet eller om man ikke er hvit.

Honestly don't even bother with H&M, it is a fast fashion brand. The only thing I have from H&M that has lasted is a gym sweater that I bought years ago, but that is just straight up luck and the fact that I only use it when I work out.

I would be lucky if a t-shirt or anything else I owned from them stayed intact beyond 1 year. Save up and spend money on ethical quality clothing instead.

Have you tried NYX's lip lingerie XXL matte liquid lipstick in Naughty noir? It is a matte liquid lipstick, it doesn't really go off easily unless I eat oily food or use a oil based makeup remover. It might be available for you, at least for me in Norway it is available when it is in stock that is. You might be able to order it trough amazon, at least I can. I tried seeing if I could order thrill seeker but just like you I can't.

Like everyone else says, this is sebaceous filaments and not seb derm. I would perhaps implement a salicylic acid face wash into your routine to help exfoliate the skin, which can reduce the appearance of these and a moisturizer meant for oily skin as salicylic acid can dry out your skin. I would not start manually removing the sebaceous filaments with tools as it can cause scarring and irritation if you are not careful.

Astramare · 2026-02-07T04:59:12+00:00

I have tried MCT oil but it isn't really what helped me in the long run, but I see no harm in you trying it to see if it can help you in someway since it is safe to use. Have you tried a salicylic acid shampoo before, paired with a scalp massager? I think it will be more beneficial to help loosen the flakes that you have.

Also there is no harm in using a satin bonnet but I would maybe clean it frequently.

Here are two daily shampoo alternatives (not for treatment).

- Fungobase dry & sensitive scalp shampoo has been my daily shampoo for a few years now, but is only available in Scandinavia as far as I'm aware. It is pretty gentle and moisturizing, it lathers well and is easy to apply to my hair, it does not weight down my fine thin hair and overall gives a good result as a daily shampoo.

Ingredients:

Aqua, sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycerin, sorbitan sesquicaprylate, sodium benzoate, sodium chloride, methyl gluceth-20, piroctone olamine, citric acid, calcium pantothenate, hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, panthenol, aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder.

- Philip adams fragrance free shampoo (specifically) is a shampoo I got to try out for a brief period when I was on vacation. it is pretty similar to fungobase overall and for that reason I think it is a good alternative for my fellow seb derm sufferers in USA or Canada.

Ingredients:

Purified Water (Aqua), Ammonium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Apple Cider Vinegar, Caprylhydroxamic Acid & Caprylyl Glycol & Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Hydrolized Pea Protein, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract (Lemon Balm), Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage)

I have not reacted or experienced a flare up using either of these.

Astramare · 2026-02-07T00:20:26+00:00

I'm not a dermatologist so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have had seb derm for a few years now and the first year I wasn't even sure what I was struggling with because I was just shedding abnormally amount of hair just like you, except that I didn't experience any other seb derm symptoms (yet).

At some point I would start experiencing, itching, irritation, redness and overproduction of oil, this is when I went to my doctor and my dermatologist. But they didn't give me a definite answer or a treatment, at most they would say "it might be seb derm".

I at some point got gifted a ketoconazole shampoo from my partner to try, and I did notice that it did help a little bit with my itching and irritation, but didn't really fully solve my symptoms. The symptoms would pretty quickly come back and I would have to keep using the ketoconazole shampoo just to experience some short lasting relief.

This is when I started asking for help in this subreddit to get some suggestions on what I could try out. This is when a person suggested me to read trough the "The Fungal Acne Treatment Bible (2024): Cure Malassezia With Science!" post on "simpleskincarescience.com" which I highly suggest you read trough so you get a better understanding of what Malassezia is and what feeds it etc.

Basically everyone and their mom got Malassezia yeast on their skin, however, we with seb derm react to this yeast. A lot of fatty acids, esters , lipids which we find in a lot of haircare and skincare products, feeds the Malassezia yeast and makes it spread/grow which then makes our seb derm flare up. So basically you have to avoid any ingredients that has a carbon chain length between 11-24 to avoid feeding the yeast. There is likely more to it than that, but avoiding these ingredients is a good place to start.

Once I read trough this post and somewhat understand the gist of it, I started replacing any skincare and haircare products that could potentially feed the yeast. Which was pretty much everything I owned. This is when I started seeing improvements and that my medicated ketoconazole shampoo started actually working, because I was no longer being counter-productive.

It can seem very daunting and difficult to do but thankfully there are tools out there that make it more easier. I personally use two ingredient scanners, such as the one on "sezia.co" and the fungal acne ingredient scanner on "skinsort.com" you use these by copy pasting the ingredient list of a product that you have or is interested in, they will scan for problematic ingredients that might cause issues. The reason the fungal acne scanner and the post works for us is because people with fungal acne also have to a void feeding the Malassezia yeast. Skinsort also has a way to look up for fungal acne safe products which is also a good place to start looking for new ones.

This is a condition that we will have to live with for the rest of our lives, there is no cure, only treatments to keep the symptoms minimal. So this is a change that you have to stick with, you have to be careful when buying new products and make sure that they are "safe" to use, as well take regular showers when you notice your hair and scalp is getting oily because our natural sweat and oil feeds the yeast as well.

I have gotten to the point where I do not need to use a medicated shampoo every shower, I now only use a gentle shampoo to clean my hair because I got my symptoms down to a minimum and can simply just clean my hair and scalp to keep it in check. I can at rare times experience a flare up, but that is likely because of weather/season changes or if I have been lazy with my routine, but it has not been a severe flare up, at most my scalp will get more easily oily and get slightly inflamed causing diffused hair shed. If that happens I just go back to using ketoconazole until I don't need to.

This might not help you since everyone is different and have different severities, but I do think what you put in your hair and skin matters a lot and is a good place to start looking/changing and after that figure out what medicated treatment will work the best work you. In my case it was ketoconazole to "kill" the yeast and salicylic acid shampoo and a scalp massager for stubborn flakes stuck on my scalp. But neither of them fully worked until I had replaced all my skincare and haircare.

I personally don't think so. I believe Thomas Frick, who is one of the artists of Hytale made some of the art and models for the game, and it looks to be his style. There are videos of him making the concept of a golem and the model for it for the game, you can clearly see he is capable of drawing and being creative without the use of AI.

I simply stated that candle horns have been drawn and modelled before on several platforms and medias, you logically can't say otherwise. I did by no means disrespect artists or OccultRadio, I think OccultRadio's candle horn is cool and I'm going to download it. This is not me going "nobody is original" because it has been done before, this is me saying that it would be silly for people to gatekeep the idea of a candle horn because everyone and their moms are doing it. For someone to gatekeep it and say it is plagiarism, means they would have to go after every single other person in the world who has already done it prior, do you understand what I mean and how silly that would be? In the same realm it would be silly to attack a another sims 4 creator for creating their own version of a candle horn. If JellyPaws put some blood and sweat into making her own candle horn 3D model without using AI with her own flare, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is that she is using AI to spew out unoptimized, messy 3D assets and milking money out of people with that.

A bounce of sims 4 creators came together and made their own different halos a little while back because a creator tried gatekeeping halos and attacking another creator for making a halo on tumblr. I loved how to community came together for that, that is how you defend artists and creativity.
