I’m still wondering if you’re fully aware of how relevant this sentence is … ... don’t feel offended, please, at least it decided me to jump here.

Zoom 5 Zoom 5 I must be around 99% personnal stuff although I didn’t BAT anything ( I’m definetely unable to BAT…) . The dumb method here is replacing FSHs. And no BATer can compete, I know; that’s so unfair… wait a minute; I’m wrong: justforfun does it , with his true 3D shopfront models using real photographies as FSHs. I intend to open a thread here, most probably a single one (I dislike dispersion ) named Elsewhere in the old CJ section (I dislike fragmentation too ) while my home (SC4Devotion/Evermore ) seems definetely closed, but I gave there examples and further explanation about this method in my MD AntigOne. Good work here anyone, that's always interesting. And comforting to feel a community still vibrant devoted to this 20 yo game . Know-you-all/ love-you-all (one excepted... ) Cédric.

We never spoke to each other Cori (I feel so limited when it comes to express my feelings in English) and yet I had inexplicable (of course inexplicable) tears yesterday, and all the day long I felt concern, anger, and, finally... shame grow in my mind. Why? « Le goût des autres » (Real interest in people) Le goût des autres - in French because in that language, it means so much more than in its dull translation - it’s this thing so rare and so precious, this thing that hits me head on when I accidentally meet it, this thing that I don't have, that very few have, that you have Cori, this thing which is a gift and also, by essence, a curse in such a self-centered, superficial when not hideous and violent world. This world in which our small community is only a shelter for privileged (temporarilly) people. This world which has caught up with you Cori, he came to seek you in your dear shelter, and we are all measuring the extent of the disaster. And, of course, we’ll do nothing to make things change. That’s why the shame; 595 000 suicides since the first of January 2022… We Are This World. I, monster… (Neveroddoreven) I registered to Simtropolis in 2004, some people may know me at Devotion . I exiled myself very early on other quieter sites that have long since disappeared (Simcitycentral first version which became Simphoni) then, since 2007, I joined Devotion… I I saw everything, read everything, followed everything here; the exciting discoveries from the pionners, the masters, the legends, but also the trolls shows, the conflicts (Pegasus, BSC Team), the jealousies, the insults, the ‘despicable side of the moon’ . I fled everything. The community has grown until its maturity, the embittered of all kinds have left to spread their bad seeds in more favorable fields (Like the social networks having appeared since…) ( I don’t use any of them, needless to say ). But this is neither the place nor the time to develop these subjects... I just want to testify that this site has never been so beautiful, fertile, fascinating and warm at the same time as during your "reign". In a way, Cori, you have become the face of an ideal Simtropolis. There were other disasters, of course, c'est la vie, we lost Barbara/Barbyw, David/Dedgren so badly injured that we'll never see him again, Raymond/Raymond7cn so promising and many others I won't name (Why a list, if not exhaustive? ) I lost my VIP Team teammates and friends who motivated me so much until they finally got tired of this… game? Let me laugh, for once… So, of course, there are still a lot of people from whom I follow posts with attention and admiration, but we can all feel that with time... avec le temps tout s’en va .On a side note, Laurent, the webmaster of Toutsimcities has announced the upcoming closure of the site by lack of audience… In short, without you, the world is no longer the same Cori, just a little more desesperate. That's my problem, for sure . For my part, if I should never see (read) you again, I would recover by repeating again and again this sentence; There is a time to mourn those we have loved, another will come to rejoice over having known them. All my sympathy for you CB, that’s going to be hard. You were talking about shock waves through the community; it's a tsunami in fact, no more, no less. Bye, Simtropolis. Thanks to Cori, I didn’t only learn from the site; I finally surprised myself to love it too. Cédric.

. ....I'm so surprised by your comment T-Wrecks .... Is that "sucks" ?!?!?! . Really ?!?!? However , I'm afraid that this superb BAT (I don't remember his author) is lost forever . I never saw it again on any japan site ....So , I'm a lucky guy .
