These are random accounts, not even my followers. I don't condone their behavior, and I've spoken out publicly against this sort of thing multiple times before. It's not my responsibility to constantly monitor other people's behavior (especially trolls) just because I have a larger following. I haven't directed a single person toward anyone else; I've only spoken in my own interest. Once again, I'm not responsible for someone else's ugly behavior. These people weren't even brought here by me, they're just arguing over AI.

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

these people aren’t even my followers?? They’re just random trolls who decided to come to a random post and start saying awful things to another person. Am I seriously expected to just read every every single reply under not even mine but someone else’s post and police stupid hateful people? Of course I’m against this behavior, but it’s ridiculous to expect of me to just sit on social media and lecture every single person who is rude. I’m sorry I’m not up to yall standards but I simply don’t have capacity for that.

@candyxsims @pppatientzero Are you for real right now? How am I responsible for how other people treat you? I don't even know these people, they're completely faceless accounts, and I have zero control over what someone else chooses to say to you.

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

No, I blocked you because you seem to have strong opinions about everyone else. Your post about tyjokr's latest sliders showed up on my feed the other day and reading through it you were just completely dismissive of his work and honestly rude, especially criticizing him and then grabbing his mod from a leaked source. As a fellow creator, I just find that disrespectful and inappropriate. I decided to sit that one out and not jump into the conversation you were having, because I don't feel the need to police how people talk about other creators' work. But first you spoke ill of my friend tyjokr (and were wrong about him) and now you're trying to call ME out for simply sharing an opinion about a mod. I find that exhausting, hence the block. I can decide on that for myself.

As for AI itself, I am strongly against AI slop and the negative environmental and copyright impacts it carries. My stance on that hasn't changed and won't change. Maybe it was a mistake on my part to give that tool the attention I did, but I gave credit where it was due because it's well made, works reliably, and doesn't feel like low effort slop. Like I said in my original post, there is nuance to everything. AI is used in many different ways, and while I'm against it being shoved down out throats everywhere, I do believe the impact varies case by case. You don't know me at all, but one thing I have ALWAYS valued is understanding both sides of an issue rather than falling into extreme black-and-white thinking.

@jp_vandekamp oh, shit, wait...

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

🥳🎉 I believe I've officially finished and have a stable version of this last thing... Now comes further testing, preparing screenshots and videos, and running compatibility checks! I literally cannot wait to show you the GRAND FINALE. 🥲

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

Funny enough, Styled Looks for NPCs wasn't part of the original schedule... so we have ONE MORE THING. 🤫

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

I agree, the environmental impact of AI servers is definitely something we should be all concerned about. But that’s a separate issue. All I’m saying is that this project doesn't come across as the typical AI slop that looks terrible, acts like it was aimlessly thrown together and falls apart the second you touch it. I believe there’s nuance to everything.

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@acumennationn @gayyharryy It makes me so happy that I made it onto someone’s go-to mods list 🫶🏻

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

I’ve been working on all of this since August, right around the time the immersive world map hit early access. I’m trying not to push myself too hard and just take my time with development, but it gets tougher once something is out in the wild (even in early access). If someone finds a bug, I try to patch it quickly. 😏 but I’m doing fine!!

[@ ;; Redux @acumennationn]

lowk thinking about subbing to simmattically's patreon for these this is such a gamechanging mod😭

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@acumennationn thank you so much 🥹 I appreciate everyone who supports my projects, but if you can’t, just know all the tools and mods will be out of early access this month!

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@gayyharryy @acumennationn Awww, thank you! I put sooooo much work into the user experience… I wanted to make it as easy to use as possible, while also keeping as many features available to the user as I possibly can. I’m so glad my work resonates with people!!

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

I've seen TONS of AI slop everywhere in everything but credit is due where it's due. I tried out this tool just because and it's not even close to any slop I've seen floating around. It doesn't even look like something you'd consider typical AI slop. So I think being cautious is fair, but it's also worth paying attention to because it's promising and simply does the job very well.

@namastebitchez1 @phii_oda @ts4_wa I'd love to see Sunset Valley but I don't have patience nor time to put multiple hours into it lol 😆

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@lunar_britney Literally what I’ve been saying for years!!!! Preach!!!!!!!!

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@ts4_wa @phii_oda 😆 no problem and thank you!!

No more fashion victims: Styled Looks for NPCs is here!

New NPCs now spawn in complete Styled Looks, and you can restyle existing ones with a cheat.

Available in Early Access now!

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

Version 1.1 (which fixes the special NPCs bug) is now available to download!

If you used the original version of the mod, this bug only affected newly created saves and existing saves where you ran the 'styledlooks_npc_fix' cheat.

No worries, though! To fix affected special NPCs (such as the Grim Reaper), run the new 'styledlooks_npc_fix_special' cheat to restore their original look. This is also useful if another mod ever broke their appearance!

@heidi1371 @LuniverSims This issue was on my end, all of my main menu overrides were patched yesterday to solve this issue!

[SimMattically @SimMattically]

@adrirobla The mod pulls from all available Styled Looks currently enabled in your game, both vanilla EA outfits and your custom Styled Looks.
