Sims 4 Story Pack collections almost complete

Dozerfleet Labs has been working at a fever pace to finalize the last few packs for the DzMD Sims 4 collection, before moving on to House Flipper 2 mods. Most of the packs still need their official handbooks. However, the utter mess that is compiling the packs is almost at an end. As of 8:40 PM EDT on June 7th of 2024, a compilation was made of the Sodality: Adaptation and Determination Story Pack.

This is a follow-up to 2020's Sodality: Instigation Story Pack, and includes all major highlights of continuity from Adaptation, Determination, Augmentation, and Vindication. At the last minute, Victor Nanale of the Kerpher Gang and the Phaemer Village Peacekeepers were added - with some notes about Keet Kabo features that couldn't be adapted.

The final pack, set to be compiled around Monday the 10th or around Tuesday the 11th of June of 2024, is the Anarteq: Envoy to Lough Melvin Story Pack.

After this final pack is compiled, Dozerfleet will no longer focus on creating mods for Sims games, nor supporting them. The official handbooks missing for key existing packs will be written and published, so each pack will have its official handbook. Trailers on YouTube are being considered for Magic of Movies and Memes Stuff, Ciem: Inferno Story Pack, Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo Story Pack, Ciem: Ash Cloud Story Pack, Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary Story Pack, and one for the Swappernetters collection of packs.

With all handbooks finished at that point, the packs will get IMDB pages, if they don't already have them. Wiki articles will be updated as well. Once research is completed on House Flipper 2 mods, the Dozerfleet founder will retire from game modding.

The comics still pending to be made with The Sims 4 include Volkonir 2008, Blood Over Water, Sniperbadger: Fall of the Critter Resistance, Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana, and Sorbet. Path of the Ming-Cho aims to be AI-generated.

With all comics and other Sims pack content finished, use of Sims software will be relegated to last-minute character design drafting, to house floor plans, and to rendering concept art for actions scenes too difficult to generate with standard AI generators. Basic character art will be AI-generated, until real costumes and models can be selected to replace the AI models.

As often as possible, Sims floor plan imagery will be replaced with photographs and video, though this may be a slow process.

The main bookstore on the main blog also intends to reinstate some old projects, and bring new ones to the storefront.

A 90 Has No Secant re-release is in consideration, along with re-releases for the Stationery Voyagers pilot episode "Scalding Inquiries," and the minisodes "The Wages of Cheating Death," and "Ties That Confide" that were written before that series was canceled. Gored By Them Things could also benefit from a re-release, as could the 2007 version of Ciem with minor revisions. Official releases of the fanfics A Centipede Lost in the Spiderverse, A Centipede Returns to the Spiderverse, and A Centipede Once Again Saves the Spiderverse are also up for consideration.

The Corando's "Don't Lose Hope" remake from 2022 remains to be completed and added, but has not been abandoned. This will be included with the other Sims comics.

While the future of Cone's Poetry Tire Swing is debatable, Trisola Poetry is set to get a book compilation, with new artwork. The Gerosha Chronicles: Art of the Early Earths would seek to do justice to the artwork made for those versions of Gerosh continuity that didn't survive beyond 2012. Camelorum Adventures: A Concept Art Repository would do this for Dromedeverse art from the early period of Camelorum development. Dozerfleet Academics: A Compilation of Curated Projects would be a review of all surviving high school - through - SWOCC Studios internship work by the Dozerfleet founder of note to have survived to the present day.

The Games and Mods of Dozerfleet Machinomic Downloadables would celebrate and provide commentary on a walkthrough of all Dozerfleet mods of note from the early days of making Sims 2 mods until the completion of the final 16 Sims 4 packs, and any commentary possible on House Flipper 2 mod research.

Making of the Mackleyverse: What Almost Was would explore the complicated history of Mutt Mackley, and his shows that never happened.

For-profit versions of releases for Ciem: Inferno: The Grand Tour and A Very Anarteq Tour of the Soo are being pursued, as tie-ins for their respective novels in the works. Percolation: The Complete Encyclopedia of Crossover Gerosha and Dozerfleet Crossovers is also still being pursued for completion, to discuss the history of Dozerfleet with Marvel: Avengers Alliance, as well as other fanfics, and the development of mythos for the Percolation Warriors saga.

Not to be forgotten, the Every Ape and His Brother parody song lyric collection is set to wrap up with the completion of the final album: The Man From '84. All albums will get their own booklet releases.

Unfortunately, not all major locations can use House Flipper 2 as CAD software, due to current limitations that prevent more exotic locations or commercial buildings from being depicted. For the time being, any concept art for those locations used for Dozerfleet references will still be made with The Sims 4. Beyond the packs that are few that remain pending for release, however, no new locations are intended for distribution as playable lots in that game.

Outside of a handful of action shots that may require it, most new character art for the Dozerfleet Megaverse will no longer be depicted using Sims software.

The current official standard format is Wonder AI. The Comic Book filter for the Dromedeverse, Crossover Gerosha, and Percolation Warriors events, and the Cinematic filter for Cataclysmic Gerosha and the Eccentriaverse. The Watercolor filter is standard for making bases for poster art that would feature in posters on the pending shop on DeviantArt.

Especially lucky renders will be on occasion made with Krea AI, and most likely enhanced there as well.

Apart from a possible future in House Flipper 2, once the few remaining Sims 4 packs have been released, there won't be much new game content added to DzMD moving forward. The main focus of Dozerfleet Labs will be in its Software and Crafts section, focusing on interactivity and material manifestations of Dozerfleet mythology.

Book posters for sale?

In keeping with the scaling back of Sims content projects for next year, and eventual abandonment of that platform, Dozerfleet is considering opening up a shop for high-quality prints of posters for various Dozerfleet projects. Staff is still trying to get all the details sorted, but it might open some time in 2024. Most of these high-quality posters that will be related to the books that are in the works would be 16" x 20".

More details on this are located on this post on DeviantArt.

If these Gerosha prints go over well, then Camelorum Adventures and Volkonir prints may be happening too. The style for these posters is watercolor, due to the fact that it blows up better, and generally yields better results with the AI bases for the images as opposed to photos.

Novel front covers can use photo art; but photo-realism isn't recommended with the AI that Dozerfleet currently uses for application toward anything higher in resolution than 1920 x 1080 HD video. 4K video, and any poster larger than 24" x 36", is out of the question.

OBRL now listed on IMDB

You read that right! The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff is now officially listed on IMDB! This makes it the first time a Dozerfleet Productions item has ever been given such a listing. Hopefully, it won't be the last. Stay tuned for more updates! And don't be afraid to download the pack, and go to IMDB to give ratings!

Navigation modifications

If you take a look around at the navigation for this blog, as well as its sister blog Dozerfleet Labs, you'll notice some significant changes. These were suggested by MayMay at YouTube. As more content is published, there is a possibility for an even more sophisticated navigation menu system in the future.

These menus are most useful in areas where there is a bulk of small entries, and visitors would like to scroll to their favorite through a menu - rather than meander through directories and icons to find what they want.

Currently, this new menu system only applies to the main blog's navigation, to the Labs blog's main navigation, to DzMD's list of published Sims 3 content, and its list of published Sims 4 content.

Plans in the future are for Dozerfleet Comics' page, Dozerfleet Literature's page, and Dozerfleet Studios' page to get similar menus, after more content is published to justify it. Dozerfleet Records won't get a menu like this for itself as a label / brand division.

Every Ape and His Brother may get one for its songs, for those who'd rather access a song title and grab its lyrics through a dropdown menu rather than an album icon and fake iTunes window.

Meet the new oTunes widget

So if you've noticed at all, the main blog, in the Records division's pages, now uses a widget developed by Dozerfleet Labs: an imitation / mock iTunes window for tracklist tables. This lets you browse Every Ape and His Brother songs by album through a directory that looks like iTunes 6 or 7, the versions of that Apple software that were popular when the Every Ape collection started. The new wiki on Miraheze uses a variation of the same.

If you feel you'd like to have this mockup iTunes widget for yourself, it's now available in the Software and Crafts tab on this blog, under oTunes Mockup Tracklist Table.

Bear in mind, it isn't exactly identical. The exact design for iTunes is technically patented by Apple. But if you are content with a navigation box that looks very similar to the legendary music player by Apple, that copies it to the closest extent legally and code-technically possible in accordance with Dozerfleet crew design skills, this widget will suffice.

If you don't mind an even messier code experience, and would like to get a more precise imitation that is more specific to Webkit browsers, feel free to check out Simon Li's Portfolio. If you'd prefer this less-precise imitation from Dozerfleet Labs, that works in Edge and Firefox too, stay tuned.

Ashleigh Brock was right

Only ignoramuses and liars still tout that "Black Lives Matter" gives a damn about actually protecting any and all darker-skinned humanity. Their own violence toward blacks who question any part of their greater agenda, instantly betrays this. The fact that they commit arson indiscriminately, further betrays this. The fact that they demand the immediate personal destruction of those who dare question any part of their radical agenda, and zap businesses just like the pro-pedo activists do; reveals just how illegitimate their greater agenda really is - and how insecure they are in light of knowing this!

Let's be real: at day's end, their policies are some of the most destructive to blacks - and anyone else human who still has a pulse - that have ever existed in human history! They are nithings of an order that cannot even be compared to cockroaches and locusts; for that would be an insult to bugs everywhere!

They don't really give a damn about your skin! They want your total conformity, to their specific brand of communism! They are just Bolsheviks with a Tan, nothing more!

They are pro-rape (including sodomy rape), pro-pedophile, anti-nuclear family, pro-sexual-anarcho-tyranny, anti-education, anti-history, anti-white, anti-anything-that-isn't-them!

In a case of Billionaire Boys Club-style "paradox philosophy," they define "white supremacy" to mean literally anything that gets in their way - logic be damned! Several black politicians and celebrities have already come out to condemn them as an illegitimate group. Yet, the instant anyone lifts a finger to resist them, it's "Aryan Nation" accusation crap - all over again! An airstrike is needed to deal with their riots. But no one will call one in. No one.

But there are worse devils than Soros

BLM's ties to Soros are clear. The gates of Hell are wide open. But who will God punish with an even hotter hellfire than Soros and BLM? My guess: Hardin Simmons University.

Don't you get it? Slimy moral cowards will NEVER enter Heaven! One night stand braggarts and Walkaway Joes stand a better chance, but they won't either. And they fare only slightly worse than idolaters, cheaters, buggerists, thieves, the greedy, habitual drunks, slanderers, or swindlers! The doors are in no hurry to open to ANY of these! - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

See, that school is run by what are the quintessence of moral cowards. For record:

  • Ashleigh's offending statement was to say that "All Lives Matter." It's actually Innocent Lives, that matter. Communist insurgents, serial killers / rapists, etc., warrant execution. Preferably, they can be captured and tried and convicted beforehand. But they don't always allow for that.
  • Her TikTok also dared to pose the following statement: “Do black lives matter? Yes, of course. Do white lives matter? Yes, of course. But I’m not gonna sit here and put each one in a group saying this race matters.” ANYONE WITH A BRAIN FUNCTIONING can tell that this is the very definition of EQUALITY, NOT "racism"! But since BLM is black supremacist; they view equality as "oppression," because it is their "rightful place" to be superior! This makes them ZERO SUM SUCCESS FALLACY LOSERS! As in loser, think Rob Finkle from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective levels of loser!
  • What else was deemed "racist" about her videos? Calling out societal double standards on reactions to murder. She wasn't denying that blacks have experienced hardship, as that snake Bruntmyer implied! She was pointing out that REACTIONS ARE DISPROPORTIONATE! Which is THE TRUTH! Remember when it was okay to make Joker memes about "everyone losing their minds" over insignificant things, but ignoring far bigger things entirely? That's the equivalent of what she was doing! But if it interferes with the Marxist narrative, then it's "racist" - to push for EQUALITY!

By all sane accounts, she is engaging in journalistic critical thinking - the very thing colleges were once created SPECIFICALLY TO ENCOURAGE! In a more God-fearing time, a self-professed "Christian" college would be standing up to defend her from these mobs of mental asylum escapees.

By their fruits, you shall know them. Hardin Simmons doesn't fear God. They are complete frauds!

  • Where was there any discussion of the actual substance of Ashleigh's TikTok?
  • Where was a call to ask her to come in?
  • Where was she given a chance to defend herself?
  • Where was she given any venue to redress grievance?
  • Where was she allowed any chance to explain herself?
  • Or, if they wished to go full Diet of Worms, why was she not even given a chance to retract and recant her own words, as the RCC at least had the decency to offer to Martin Luther?

Hardin Simmons offered NONE of those things! They engaged in a full-scale Salem-style witchhunt, in order to appease the mob. The girl was guilty, even if proven innocent. Her college admission? Instantly revoked! Her intentions? Misrepresented. The college itself? Fully huffy and self-righteous about this unrighteous, Pharisaic, sanctimonious crucifixion of this young woman!

As in the days of old, the temple leaders murder the prophets.

Worse: there is no mention of God ANYWHERE in their letter regarding their decision to throw her under the bus, and let the mobs coming after her with slanderous accusation have their way with her future without a fight! NOT ONE MENTION!

Instead, they published some virtue-signalling, sanctimonious screed about their eagerness to pander to left-wing causes that only pretend to be about combating racism!

So if God and His law have no part of Hardin Simmons' supposedly "Christian" school, and its decision-making process, then WHAT IN THE BLAZES is their criterion for operating, especially after this gross injustice against a young woman WHO WASN'T EVEN LIVING ON CAMPUS YET???

Money. Glory in the eyes of men. And: the desire to know that no one would come and burn their precious buildings down.

Except, if they think the neo-Bolsheviks aren't going to burn them down in the end anyway, they are FOOLING THEMSELVES! They have to be drooling brainlets in the utmost, to keep fooling themselves to that extent! Everything BLM is pushing, Stalin pushed variations of it first, just without the race angle.

How well did Stalin treat the churches that defected to him, once he no longer needed them???

Hardin Simmons University has forsaken the Crown of Above, in exchange for absolutely NOTHING! For even what they think they have, BLM will eventually betray them and take that from them too!

And if this mob of demons made manifest isn't satisfied with the damage done to Ashleigh already, then they will be emboldened to harm her in more direct ways - AS THEY HAVE ALREADY THREATENED TO - by the university's moral cowardice! And in the eyes of Heaven, her blood will be on President Eric Bruntmyer's hands. Bruntmyer will be shaking hands with Judas in the Lake of Fire, if he doesn't repent of his two-faced cowardice, scantily-cladden as virtue. That he chose to humiliate her publicly, and (not really) validate the mob, means he will burn EVEN HOTTER!

"Revenge is MINE!" shouts the Lord, "I will REPAY!!!" - Deuteronomy 22:35 [emphasis added]

BLM communists are lower than insects. But that's to be expected. Loathe traitors to sanity, reason, and justice, such as Eric Bruntmyer, however? There is no punishment on Earth severe enough for the souls of men like that. Judas at least regretted his treachery! Bruntmyer? That remains to be seen.
