you have to actually talk to your neighbors. you have to actually talk to your coworkers. we’re not gonna post our way through this. we’re not gonna donate our way through this. we gotta do more — collective action is the only shot we have. we have to realize the common enemy as the billionaires and their bootlickers and do what we can to stop them from killing this world. we have to try

This couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you soooooo much @simshai91 for sharing, I’ve recently started reorganizing my store items and I was worried that I would have to go back in and get all the Thumbnails for them but you literally saved my life 🤗
PSA for anyone organising their TS3 CC: download Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor!
I have just downloaded a tool that will save me so much time in my CC re-organisation. Honestly, this just had me staring at my screen and going “Seriously? Holy crap!”
It’s the Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor by Killc*a at MTS. All you do is leave it at default settings, choose a folder to scan, wait for a few seconds, and it will extract all the THUMB and ICON resources (if both exist within a file, it will extract both) inside everything in that folder. It works on package files and Sims3pack files, and it does it in seconds. (You can also choose individual files if you don’t want everything in an entire folder extracted.)
Prior to this I had been going through each file one at a time, opening it in S3PE, finding the THUMB or ICON files, using the option to open them in Paint, hitting Save As > JPG, typing the first letter of the name and scrolling to find the correct name, hitting the End key to go to the end of the filename so I can backspace out the .package or .sims3pack bit– Well, you get the general idea. Lots of work for one image. All of that work now takes literally seconds with this thing.
The video above will show you just how quickly it works. That folder contains 1,397 package files by LunaSims. To go through them individually would have involved several hours of non-stop work. This program processed them in a couple of seconds.
It managed to do 1,354 out of those files, meaning that 43 of them don’t have THUMB or ICON files, but it’ll be easy to sort those out, load them into my game and take screenshots of them.
My only bugbear is that it saves the images as PNG files, but there are tons of file conversion programs out there that will convert those to JPGs so you can save a bit of space.
(Now all I need is a program that will take the hundreds of extracted package files from a Sims3pack lot [which have gibberish names] and delve inside their XML files to rename the file with the actual item name, so that I don’t have to!)
this is a masterpost dedicated to those who want to organize themselves but are too lazy to start aka me everyday
01. organizing your schoolwork
there are so many ways to organize your papers nowadays, so it’s pretty important to find what works best for you
I personally use binders and sheet protectors for my handouts that I get at school
pros: binders keep your papers secure, you can use dividers for further organization
cons: that loud noise from opening the binder rings, can be heavy, the binder rings can mess up your papers, the plastic pockets on the inside of the binder often tears
as mentioned, to combat the tearing of papers, I use sheet protectors
if you’re not a fan of binders, a nice alternative is expandable file folders
see this video by @studyign/sareena for some more info!
pros: not as heavy as a binder, there is some organization already with the extra pockets
cons: depending on the brand, might be flimsy, the plastic pockets can tear
I currently use one of these to store all of my homework, and so far it’s worked out for me quite nicely! I would definitely recommend them
if you don’t get that many papers in class but still want to hold onto them, folders are always a nice choice
pros: are lightweight, capable of holding a lot of papers
cons: can tear, papers can fall out (unless you have the kind w/ brads)
I use both folders and binders bc sometimes I’m too lazy to open the rings of the binder oops
also, if you want to store more, it can help if you buy the folders that contain brads
psa: if you don’t keep binder clips or paper clips with you, then you should bc they’re extremely useful and will make your life easier when you’re sorting out papers
for more tips, see this masterpost by @tbhstudying/seo!
02. organizing your supplies
some of you might have a lot of stationary and pens lying around
for those that don’t, it’s totally fine and you might have it better off bc you don’t have to keep track of that many things ahahaha
it’s always nice to have a pen case or pouch to hold your supplies, it can really help you keep your supplies together
if you’re willing to make the investment, try the kipling 100 pens pencil case
here is a cheaper alternative
this website is also really nice, their products are super cute and they have a large variety of pen cases to choose from
when you’re organizing your supplies, it’s important to know what you need the most on a daily basis - it’s not helping you if you keep a complete set of staedtler triplus fineliners in your pen case when in reality you only use two colors every day
ask yourself: what do I need? will it be okay if I leave it behind?
if you choose to leave some supplies at home, be sure that you have a place to leave them hehe
03. organizing your desk space
okay so if you’re like me, you probably have a lot of papers and things that stay on your desk, such as stationary, extra paper, textbooks, etc.
to organize some of my pens/pencils, I recommend using a jar or cup of some sort to keep on your desk so that it’s within reach
for those extra packs of lined/graphed paper you might have, you can store it on your desk in a magazine file or in your drawer
going back to the magazine file: 11/10 would recommend
for me, I have a small desk, so I can’t afford to have everything being piled on my desk - the magazine files are really nice for organizing
be sure that when you’re working, you only have the things you need on your desk! anything that isn’t needed should be stored as neatly as possible
you can find different desk organizers and containers in places like target and amazon!
I hope this was helpful to you guys! I personally still struggle with organization, but over the course of my 2015-16 school year, I’m starting to find ways to keep my things and my life together. if you have any questions, feel free to drop an ask in my inbox ^-^

FAQ/Rules
What are your pronouns?
You can use any, homie.
Reposts?
No. Nowhere at anytime. Not even with credit.
Ask Rules!
I'm not against NSFW/suggestive jokes or banter from regulars and mutuals, but please refrain from requesting NSFW art or making actual inappropriate comments about me or characters.
I also do not RP, so don't expect a response if you try that.
And of course, no bullying or harassment. I will not engage in discourse or rumors about myself or mutuals. Any asks like that will be deleted, and while I'm a pretty patient person, I will block you depending on the severity of your message. That being said, if there's a concern you feel needs to be brought to my attention, I will heed it and address it how I see fit, which could mean posting a reply or not. Thank you for understanding!
Tag Rules!
Please feel free to tag me in anything you'd like me to see! I'd be so happy to see art, fics, funnies, etc. this can include your own works or things you think I'd like.
My restrictions are about the same as my Ask Rules. Nothing explicit, though suggestive is fine, no discourse, no gore/body horror, and nothing you're trying to get me to signal boost. Thank you!
Can I make a (fanwork) for your fics/characters/sona/etc?
Yes yes yes!!!! Nothing explicit, though! This includes anything sexual or gorey.
And please feel free to ask me any questions if you need clarity on characterization or references.
Is this an 18+ only blog?
No, but it's not always minor-friendly, either. You will find suggestive or simpy content here. If that makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to block me. But you have been warned.
Can I DM you?
I'm not always the best at responding due to anxiety, especially if I don't know you/we're not mutuals, but at the moment I am okay with receiving DMs.
I also understand that sometimes we all need a friend, and if you feel like I'd be a good person to reach out to, then please do. Do not count on me replying, but know that you're welcome to send me a message.
That being said, my restrictions are the same as my Ask Rules. And DO NOT send me anything about s*icide or SH. I'm serious. If you need help, reach out to a professional. Do not put that on my shoulders. I will not respond to you, and if I catch you doing it more than once, I will block you. You have been warned.
What art program do you use?
Currently, Procreate. I'm still deciding if I like it. I'd actually be very grateful for advice about it if anyone has any.
