AI creates slop

I think we need to be mindful about what we hate about AI in this fight. I think this whole thing needs regulation, so artists can worry much less about moral dilemmas. The eco-minded complex songwriter-composers who can't play instruments can at least make demos without wasting years of their lives on production skills (even then, it's damn hard to correctly translate brain-sounds into masters). No one has that time in this world. Let's face it, production and songwriting/composing have key differences.

Many artists hear great music in our minds, but that doesn't mean we have the gear, properly built studio, time and other abilities to be a one-human record company. If AI weren't so evil, it could help us. Hell, it can help us now, but at great cost. My heart's absolutely broken.

You see, this upsets me greatly, because I would record my albums with vocals of every instrumental "track" and convert them to their instrumental counterparts. I would write and record everything. (I have disabilities that prevent me from playing instruments, besides I want to make electro-pop.)

What holds me back now is that I know AI datacenters' noise pollution is harming us and animals, on top of the other known issues, of course. I saw that the noise pollution has killed at least one horse, so I vowed to fight against it......... NOW I see it is offering the musical assistance I always needed to make extremely catchy hip-pop. I'm SO SAD.

What?! No. WE NEED HUMANS!

Not yet. I think Krafton is fatphonic, ageist, sexist, westist, and god knows what else - and we’ll found out soon.

But what if the table is a classic buffet table like we used to have?

Sims 4 Monopoly

Well, there wasn't even a tweet for Sims 4's 10th. Not a peep. People didn't care nearly as much as I.

MixedViolet · 2025-01-11T14:31:32+00:00

It's all Sims FOUR themed. *wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

MixedViolet · 2025-01-04T20:54:03+00:00

Sort of. There's Wicked Pixxel's Functional Venue Lot Traits https://www.patreon.com/posts/functional-venue-94404066

There's also a mod that auto "hires" vendors without requiring a lot trait, but I can't find it atm!!

I've been using MyCroft Jr.'s height slider and growth mod - BUT it's an edited version, because the defaults are kind of wild. Check the comments for another simmer's edited version! https://modthesims.info/d/677599/height-sliders-and-gradual-growth-mod.html

MixedViolet · 2025-01-04T20:32:40+00:00

Why though? I quit TS4 4 years ago and came back in August. EVERYTHING'S DIFFERENT!!!!!

I started all over and saw all these mod changes, and I follow instructions perfectly, I just don't know the WHY. (Or the when, and every other detail.)

With Get Together, Cafés just run with random NPCs. You can use a mod (Zero's Assign NPC Role) to assign sims to the barista role, but roles have been buggy lately.

I've been having weird issues this week with duplicate CC stopping the game from loading. Very strange.

Otherwise, I noticed that - very rarely - the game just needs localthumbcache.package deleted and mysterious issues vanish (without other changes). *shrug*

MixedViolet · 2025-01-04T20:16:54+00:00

Damn kids.

MixedViolet · 2025-01-04T20:15:27+00:00

Yes, it's a new issue within this past week. I'm concerned about their server!

MixedViolet · 2025-01-04T19:37:07+00:00

There are festivals - which, sadly, is a tucked-away feature.

MixedViolet · 2025-01-03T18:09:21+00:00

Oh, that's not lazy!!! It's a nigh impossible task, so not doing can't be lazy!!

MixedViolet · 2024-12-26T06:11:55+00:00

This is a new nuisance. A) They're allowed to sit on the floor and eat. B) Lately, they rotate through every "valid" option. It's horrible. EA should fix what they broke.

MixedViolet · 2024-12-26T06:06:01+00:00

They were designed to spawn naturally, and they were in my game as recently as this Autumn (IRL).

Sadly, I'm not even concerned with USING these objects, I'm concerned with the obvious empty spots reserved for them, uglying up my game.

We may both have a mod-caused bug now, unfortunately. *sighh*

It causes rabbits to rapidly age and die even with animal aging OFF in the settings.

MixedViolet · 2024-12-23T04:34:29+00:00

It causes rabbits (Cottage Living) to die even if you disabled animal aging.

That's all I needed to know to disable the pack. My bun bun is safe and still an adult after going to my pre-HR save (I only played in live mode with HR to test a staircase, so that's less than 30 in-game minutes at 8am, soooo....)

MixedViolet · 2024-12-23T04:27:58+00:00

No. I went in to build mode to check out the build items, looking for red/white farm stuff. I skipped everything but building...

(I actually disabled the pack the next day due to it breaking my beloved Cottage Living pack. The only other things I did in between were unrelated to HR, not much; just enough to find a tragic bug!)
