Please remember that my game is heavily modded, and that the EA version, UNmodded, will not contain all the traits mentioned here. If you would like to see a list of the mods that I play with regularly, click here. I keep my mods list up to date as much as possible, and my game patched. Living in Alaska, I am not always able to play online. This makes updating my game, or patches get behind now and then, but if this happens, please be patient, and I will update my list. I keep the current list date on the page.

TS4 CC

I decided to start posting the CC I will be using in my Sims 4. This work is NOT mine, and will be linked to the pages I download them from. This way any and all updates will be easy for you to grab. I have changed computers several times, and going back and trying to find all the MODS I use is exhausting. Plus if I have something in one of my YouTube videos (to come), you will have a quick easy way find it.

The Search for an Editor!

There comes a time in every writers life when they must go out into the world (in my case online), and hunt for that perfect person/company that can share the views you have about your baby. Your baby is still within you, being brought to life word for word. Sadly, you are your own worst enemy. It’s okay! The world has only fallen into quarantine, not total apocalypse just yet. The dystonian erra to come has not fully engaged itself and vanquished the Earth as we know it. It may possibly seem that way to many young (or even old) writers as they finish there first works of art. There newborn children that they will one day take and put in the hands of a publisher and see there creations fly across the world at the speed of a click.

This is when you must hire an editor. Not just any editor. A person that must be able to not only communicate well, but understand how your baby is put together. What is the divine purpose of your creation? Is it to inform the world of a specific topic? Is it meant to be used by directors to bring color to the world through television, or movies? or is it your own personal Frankenstein that was brought into this world by trial and error using a magic wand, or a bit of pixie dust.

It truly doesn’t matter to the rest of the world what it went through to be placed on the shelves or digitally downloaded for their reading pleasure. No, all the consumer cares about is if they can read it, and did they enjoy it.

There are many types of editors out there, and you should know what type you are looking for. to do this, follow this simple yet well defined list.

Beta Reader

Beta readers are generally those people you let look over your writing to get their opinion. Many authors may ask for beta readers and create a questionnaire for the readers to get early feedback on a story. You want to find beta readers if you are an author looking for feedback from the general public for your work.

Proofreader

Proofreaders look over content after it has gone through other stages of editing. Proofreaders often only look for glaring mistakes in grammar and punctuation, and they may give little feedback as to quality or content development. You want to hire a proofreader if you are concerned about spelling, punctuation or grammar mistakes, such as in articles or resumes.

Online Editor

The term “online editor” includes anyone you can find online to look over your content. These editors are most likely freelancers, and their skill sets may vary. If you plan on hiring an online editor, first make sure he or she is well-versed in the type of editing you are looking for.

Critique Partner

A critique partner tends to be a writer or published author who looks over a story and helps another writer or aspiring author to raise the quality of his or her work. A CP may act more as a coach than an editor. You want a critique partner when you need guidance on developing a story for publication.

Commissioning Editor

Also known as an acquisition editor, a commissioning editor is the one who looks for books or articles for publication. This is the person to talk to if you’re looking to get a book published or if you’re a freelance writer and want to pitch an article or blog to a particular site or company.

Developmental Editor

Developmental editors act as coaches for writers to get a story ready for publication. When you need guidance on moving your story forward, developmental editors should be able to help. They may also spend some of their time ghostwriting.

Content Editor

Content editors look at everything the writing encompasses. With books, they look over the story and make changes as necessary to the plot, characters, setting and so forth. In journalism or online publications, a content editor ensures the article scope is accurate for its audience and subject matter.

Copy Editor

Copy editors, also known as line editors and sometimes as content editors, usually look at everything from facts to grammar and formatting. These editors can do it all.

Associate Editor

Associate editors often work for newspapers or magazines. Another term for this position is “section editor.” An associate editor often has the same responsibilities as an acquisition editor; he or she is in charge of seeking out stories or content for publication.

Contributing Editor

Contributing editors tend to contribute their services to a magazine or newspaper and may also be referred to as a roving editor. In the journalism industry, a contributing editor is sometimes called an editor-at-large.

Chief Editor

Also known as an executive editor, the chief editor is the person overall in charge of an article, story or other content. The chief editor is the one who looks over the final product to ensure it meets company standards and approves it for release.

Editor-in-Chief

The editor-in-chief is generally the person who oversees the editing department and manages all of the other editors for the company. The EIC is also responsible for maintaining the voice of the company and upholding its philosophy and mission. Publishing companies sometimes refer to editors-in-chief as editors-at-large, which essentially means they can work on whatever project they choose to.

The Muse and Pandemics

The Nine Muses were: Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomeni, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania and Calliope.

All the ancient writers appeal to the Muses at the beginning of their work. Homer asks the Muses both in the Iliad and Odyssey to help him tell the story in the most proper way, and until today the Muses are symbols of inspiration and artistic creation.

According to the Greek Myths, God Zeus bewildered the young woman Mnemosyne (some say she was the goddess of memory) and slept with her for nine consecutive nights. The result of their encounter was the Nine Muses, who were similar to everything.

1. Clio: The Muse Clio discovered history and guitar. History was named Clio in the ancient years, because it refers to “kleos” the Greek word for the heroic acts. Clio was always represented with a clarion in the right arm and a book in the left hand.

2. Euterpe: Muse Euterpe discovered several musical instruments, courses and dialectic. She was always depicted holding a flute, while many instruments were always around her.

3. Thalia: Muse Thalia was the protector of comedy; she discovered comedy, geometry, architectural science and agriculture. She was also protector of Symposiums. She was always depicted holding a theatrical – comedy mask.

4. Melpomene: Opposite from Thalia, Muse Melpomene was the protector of Tragedy; she invented tragedy, rhetoric speech and Melos. She was depicted holding a tragedy mask and usually bearing a bat.

5. Terpsichore: Terpsichore was the protector of dance; she invented dances, the harp and education. She was called Terpsichore because she was enjoying and having fun with dancing ( “Terpo” in Greek refers to be amused). She was depicted wearing laurels on her head, holding a harp and dancing.

6. Erato: Muse Erato was the protector of Love and Love Poetry – as well as wedding. Her name comes from the Greek word “Eros” that refers to the feeling of falling in love. She was depicted holding a lyre and love arrows and bows.

7. Polymnia: Muse Polymnia was the protector of the divine hymns and mimic art; she invented geometry and grammar. She was depicted looking up to the Sky, holding a lyre.

8. Ourania: Muse Ourania was the protector of the celestial objects and stars; she invented astronomy. She was always depicted bearing stars, a celestial sphere and a bow compass.

9. Calliope: Muse Calliope was the superior Muse. She was accompanying kings and princes in order to impose justice and serenity. She was the protector of heroic poems and rhetoric art. According to the myth, Homer asks from Calliope to inspire him while writing Iliad and Odyssey, and, thus, Calliope is depicted holding laurels in one hand and the two Homeric poems in the other hand.

This little bit of history was added because I love knowing obscure bits of history and mythology. It is one of the things that makes me love writing and reading fiction.

This week has been one of strangeness. The world is in a world pandemic. People who are used to going out every day to a job, having there kids in schools, and going to the grocery store anytime they wanted are finding there lives at a complete standstill.

The world is in quarantine. Walmart isn’t even allowed to be open 24/7. Canada has closed it’s borders, and many international flights have been cancelled 100%

If you are expecting to fly internationally for business or leisure in March or April, we can safely tell you it’s not gonna happen.

Many countries, including Australia, Canada, and numerous European, South and Central American, Asian and Middle Eastern countries, have cancelled all flights from a long list of countries. Entire airports, such as Paris Orly, are closing, and this will continue as well. This list continues to grow by the day.

what about the fact that almost every 100 years a huge outbreak has happened?

A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν pan “all” and δῆμος demos “people”) is a disease epidemic that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents, or worldwide

The Black Death, also known as the PestilenceGreat Bubonic Plague, the Great Plague or the Plague, or less commonly the Great Mortality or the Black Plague, was the most devastating pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.

The Great Plague of Marseille was the last of the significant European outbreaks of bubonic plague. Arriving in Marseille, France in 1720, the disease killed a total of 100,000 people: 50,000 in the city during the next two years and another 50,000 to the north in surrounding provinces and towns.

The first cholera pandemic (1817–1824), also known as the first Asiatic cholera pandemic or Asiatic cholera, began near the city of Calcutta and spread throughout Southeast Asia to the Middle East, eastern Africa and the Mediterranean coast. While cholera had spread across India many times previously, this outbreak went further; it reached as far as China and the Mediterranean Sea before subsiding. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of this pandemic, including many British soldiers, which attracted European attention.

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people—about a quarter of the world’s population at the time. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.

The 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).[3] The outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019, and was recognised as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. As of 26 March, more than 531,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in over 190 countries and territories, resulting in approximately 24,000 deaths and more than 123,000 recoveries.

Anthropophobia?

When I was eighteen years old, I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia because I would get so afraid of going places that I would have a panic attack that would send me into what is known as pseudo seizers. My therapist all thought I had a fear of leaving my home. Turned out that it is not a fear of leaving my home, but a fear of people. I would get the severe panic attacks because I was terrified of the people I would possibly meet.

I know self diagnosis is not the way to go, and I will try to make an appointment with a new counselor or therapist in the next few months now that winter is coming to a close and public transportation will once again be open to me.

You may be asking how, if I am truly anthropophobic can I ride on public transportation. The answer to that is easy. My phone, a good play list or audiobook, and headphones. As long as I have something besides the anonymous people around me to concentrate on, I seem to do okay. The fact that the bus drivers run the same routes daily has also helped. I make sure to schedule trips anywhere I need to go around the bus drivers I am most comfortable with. The ones that smile and appear nice. This doesn’t mean I say more then my destination, and wait for them to signal it is my stop, but it does help in the long run.

Some information on anthropophobia can be located at https://www.fearof.net/fear-of-people-phobia-anthropophobia/

I have no problems interacting online, via text, or even voice chat. My fear is face-to-face with another human being. This is even worse when I sort of have to interact with people that live in the same building as myself. This is another clue that it is not agoraphobia, but anthropophobia I suffer from. In my day to day life I live in a bunk house. In Alaska this is known as shared living. I have my own room, but I share the common bathrooms, and kitchen with everyone that lives on the property. My lease states I must go outside to smoke, and I follow the rules, even during the winter months. I am allowed to smoke in the garage on days it is colder then -20 Ferin height. The intense tightness in my chest, labored breathing, and feelings of dread I get from even the small act of going outside for a single cigarette, or to cook a quick meal in the kitchen isn’t what other people feel. It is fear plain and simple.

The question then becomes, why do I get this way at some points in my life, but not always? I have lived in a homeless shelter where I talked to everyone, and had no issues going outside for hours chatting with everyone around me. Yet here I sit in my room dreading the feelings of fear that over ride my senses when I want to go outside for a single smoke. Two and two are not adding up to four. Why do I get this sudden surge of fear when I am safe, have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and am supposed to feel secure, yet in the face of adversity, homelessness, and despair I felt like I could take on the world?

Those questions I feel must be answered by a true therapist. This is a reason I think that going back to therapy might be a good thing for me. I just hope they don’t think I am going to take there drugs that make even sane people feel insane!
