Goodbye
December 18, 2010Forgive me, I’m so tired of trolls… I just can’t do this anymore.
I remember when this community was all about teaching each other, and everyone was grateful and courteous. I don’t ask that everyone love everything I create – just that they don’t post offensive, insensitive comments if that’s the case.
All of my sims 3 files from this site can be downloaded in one huge .zip for those who still care. Feel free to distribute them at graveyard sites, etc.

I hate to see you go. Ihaven’t played Sims for a long while do to me making images and tags. I just started back and I’ve always loved your work. Hope everything turns out for the better. Will miss you dearly.

Sorry to see you go but I do understand how you feel. However, there are many of us out here who will miss you. Enjoy your Christmas time with family and please reconsider after the new year. Afterall…….there will always be trolls.
Sorry to see you go. I always thought you were one of the most creative and talented Sims designers/creators out there. I wish you good luck in anything you persue in the future.
Please consider going back to a standard website format instead of a blog format. So many of us love your great contributions to our Sims games, Helaene.
Happy Holidays,
Melissa
aka Mellisenda
I second that.
The trolls wanted exactly this: you leave.
Don’t give a damn about irrelevant comments and such.
I believe non-blog site would serve better.
I’m sorry people were rude. You some very beautiful things.
Hope you have a merry christams.
Helaene, you are one of the best at creating custom content for The Sims. I don’t know what happened to make you leave this format, but please don’t stop creating!
Helaene, I’m very sorry and disappointed that this happened to you! Please know that for every troll out there, you have 100 times for fans (it’s just that the haters are more vocal about it). You are one of the very best creators for Sims and I’ve been downloading your stuff for years (Sims 2 and Sims 3)– you’re incredibly talented and I’m a huge fan. I could not play Sims without custom content like yours. I hope you will continue to create for us and post your stuff on another website or at the Exchange. Lots of love to you.
I’m not exactly sure what happened. But I think I might understand your feelings. I always love your creations. Thank you for everything.
We’ll really miss you, Helaene.
So sorry to see you go! Don’t let the trolls get you down: you make some of the most gorgeous content on the Internet. I’ll miss you. <3 Happy holidays!
hello Helaene!
I’m very sorry to see you go.I love your creations, I’ve been downloading your stuff for years to use it qith my sims 2 and sims 3 and I have to tell you that without your stuff this game wouldn’t have been the same. Thank you for everything.
Merry Christmas.
Szkoda, że się nie załapie już na twoje świetne rzeczy, lubiłam wszystko co stworzyłaś. Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Dear Halaene,
I’m soooo sorry about what happened. True artists are never appreciated except postumously and always seemed to get crapped on. Remember, your fans are still out here in cyberspace and appreciate all you have done :)
Be blessed.
(((hugs)))
Trolls?! Want me to beat them up for you? Argh! Unappreciative people who have nothing better to do than bring people down, they’re just jealous they’re not as great as you!
:( I’m so sorry to see you go, I love your creations and they’re always so wonderfully made with so much thought and work put into them. I hope you’ll consider coming back, we’ll miss you *hugs*
Oh! and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! :)
I’m so sorry to see you go. You’re an amazing creator, and it’s a true shame that some people chose to be cruel instead of appreciating you. The Internet can be such an ugly place at times.
Wow. I’m really sorry to see you go, Helaene. I’ve been using your CC since the early days of TS2 and I wish I had discovered your TS3 site sooner. You will be dearly missed.
We will miss you and all your great work. Peace and love. The over the hill gang 55+
Oh no oh no oh no! I can’t believe this! Please come back? You should change to a better site where you can prevent anonymous comments. Don’t let the trolls win! There are more people that love your stuff!
I hope you’ll change your mind. Either way, have a happy holidays!
Honey,
I have loved your content since I started with the Sims many years ago. You are a treasure to the Sims community and you should not have to give up on what you love. Make a statement to those out there that are not understanding of our longstanding community. I will truly miss your very talented work and so will thousands of other Sims fans. Good luckk to you and Merry Christmas!!
I’am a Brazilian woman, so sorry my poor english… But i’m very sad just like everyone here becouse i realy love your creations and hate that trolls!
Hope you have a merry christams.
Thank you for all!
Hugs from Brazil…
Like those above me I’ve been a fan of your work since TS2 days, it’s easier said than done but don’t let the nasty comments get to you.
Someone once said this to me (or something along these lines) 95% of people will say nothing about your work at all, 4% of people will say something nice and 1% will criticise, but which group do we listen to and remember?
I can’t believe that the community is coming to this kind of behaviour, and I’m really sorry to see you go. I’d love it if you change your mind, but won’t blame you if you don’t. Have a wonderful holiday and I wish you all the best for the future. Thanks for all the wonderful CC. <3 <3
I just want to say I had to call my husband over and explain to him how shocked I was when I saw this. I told him how I always downloaded your items because you were one of the most amazing creators around. I’m so sorry there are so many ungrateful people out there who can’t appreciate the high quality downloads you provided. You are an amazing artist and I’m very sorry to see your post. Thank you for everything you have provided to the community . Just know there are so many people out here who genuinely appreciate your contributions to the Sims series.
aww…I’ve always loved your creations…even back in ts2. Its so sad that the simming community just lost one of its talented creators due to the nastiness of others.
Helenae, Could Saving the Sims help by placing your creations at one of our groups? You remain the owner of the files, of course, and have full control over how they are handled. we upload them and maintain the group. Let me know if you would be agreeable.
Oh my..Helaene ! It hit me right into the heart to read these lines.After all those years with your fine creations and sharing it with us.How ignorant must a person be not showing respect to a creator…I really appreciate your work and it will stay forever in our DLfolders for sims2 and sims3.All the best for the future and maybe we will meet you again.LG from germany Patty
Ohhh this is bad news. I can understand how you feel thou i think every creator have come across trolls one time or another. And been hurt by it. I know i have and my first reaction was i quit with the whole Sims charade. Where have the nice people gone too. So much nastyness around and dissatisfaction, even when the downloads are free and great quality there is something to comment about instead of saying thanks. I was so sick of it that at that moment i really wanted to give it up. But than i realised i like creating, very very very much and i didn’t want to give that up. I would be crazy to stop doing what i like doing so i protected myself and the other staffmembers of our site against trolls by not having any options to comment any ugly and nasty things.
As you can see there are a lot of people that care and have very kind and heartwarming things to say. We can not allow the trolls controling the Sims community and prevent us from what we like to do.
You are a wonderfull creator that makes gorgeous, original and great quality things for The Sims that are enjoyed by lots and lots of people, don’t let anybody take that away from you!!
It became a longer post than planned, but i really hope you choose to protect yourself against trolls and continue making your wonderfull content that makes the game a lot more fun.
Lots of love, Jolanda aka The Sorceress
Wishing you good health and happiness for 2011 … and lots of creating fun ;)
It’s sad to see that you’re leaving, I have always liked your stuff. Thank you for all the cc you made for us, for taking your time to upload it and share it <3
:( Trolls always ruin it for everyone. I want to become a sim creator, any tips? Thanks for contributing to the sim community.
No no no! You’ve got to be one of the best, if not the best creator! Is there any way you’d stay? :) Please rethink your decision to leave, so many would miss you, way more than those who were leaving mean comments.
I am so sorry to see you go. I have found your work to be extraordinary throughout the sims game developments. I can’t understand how anyone could be negative about your work. I hope you would reconsider but I do understand. People can never appreciate what is right in front of them and they have to put down those that can because they can’t. Take care. I hope your holidays were at least great.
Hello, Helaene
I’m so sorry to see you go! I love your creations since I started playing The Sims many years ago. We’ll miss you!
It is a horrible shame that those who (most often) cannot create and do not contribute bully those who attempt to enrich this game. Helaene – you have my heart felt sympathy and hopes that someday you’ll consider coming back.
I will miss you and your work, like so many who have posted here. You have been one of my favorite creators since Sims 2, which seems like such a long time! Alas that the trolls are more vocal than your devoted supporters. I wish to stomp on all of them! *stomp* *stomp* Stupid trolls!
If you can see your way back to us, I know we would be grateful. However, like others who have posted, I understand if you cannot, and wish you only the best!
Happy New Year, Helaene!
ignore them they WANTED you off the internet. dont give them the satisfaction. you made amazing things
I wish you would reconsider I love your stuff
Sad to see you go. Been a fan of your beautiful work since the beginning. Best wishes and good luck.
What a shame.. I too have been a fan of your work since TS2. I hope that some day you will reconsider and come back to share your beautiful creations with us. There will always be trolls I’m afraid, and we must not give them the power by actually listening to, and taking seriously, the nonsense they spew. They’re just ungrateful asses with nothing better to do.
Sorry to see you go. I really appreciated all that you created. You sort of became a brand name for the sims. Stupid trolls!!!
Helaene, I’m so sorry you have been hurt by the hateful trolls who try to take over every sims site. They are few but mighty in their negative impact. Thank you for so many years of the most exquisite sims content. Your cc was the first I downloaded and your artisty has never failed to amaze me. Please try to remember that there are so many of us who hold you in very high regard and respect. Keep those feelings in your heart, not the hurtful comments made by weak and sick people.
I’m so sad to hear that you have been forced to do this by rude and ungrateful people. I want to thank you for all of the items that you have created over the years – I have many in my game and will continue to treasure them.
nooooo! I’ve been downloading your stuff for FOREVER!!! You were my favorite creator! So realistic and beautiful and such a sweet person. :( Noo!
Damned trolls. -_-
Nooo :( You are my favorite creator. I’m sorry this happened.
I have noticed lately that the trolling on any site that allows Anon comments has gotten ridiculous. Even sites that you have to join or have a user name are still being bombarded with excessively snarky comments. I can’t figure out why. Being a new creator, this makes me very nervous especially when amazing creators like you are subject to unfounded assholery. I just want to say thanks for everything you’ve given to this community, and I’m sure if you ever got bored and wanted to make the occasional creation, you’d be welcomed back with open arms. Good luck, doll :)
WHYYYY!!!??? you were the best!!! I loved your site. People talking bad about you will always be there even when you run! just ignore them you know better than that!
So if you ever consider to return I’ll welcome you back too with open arms!

I don’t blame you in the least. It seems there is a new brood of ungrateful little brats who treat others with disrespect and act like piss-heads on the forums. Keep in mind, it’s probably just to make themselves feel better about the excessive bullying and ridicule they endure in school.
You’re a terrific creator and I really appreciate what you have done for the sims community. Just wish we all could have told you sooner.
Sad to see yet another good creator leave… You’ve done a hell of a lot and the trolls have nothing of value to contribute to anyone.. which is probably why they do it in the first place. You will be missed.
It makes me sad to see you go.
Your makeup (eyebrows, lipsticks, freckles etc.) for the Sims 2 and 3 is the best one can have in the Sims World.
I wish you all the best.
… I understand You …
You are so creative and talented! ~ Thanks for the sharing!
All The Best!
Me entristece profundamente leer tus palabras, y créeme que te entiendo perfectamente. Descansa, y si te encuentras con fuerzas vuelve, aun queda gente agradecida y con ganas de aprender.
Tienes todo mi apoyo, se que no te conozco personalmente, pero si te entiendo por lo que estas pasando.
Gracias por todo, y si quieres volver aqui te esteremos esperando. Un beso
so so so sad to see you go, i’ve been using/loving/admiring your creations since i started sims2 many many years ago.
hopefully you’ll move on to bigger and better things and express your talent in a different way.
but dont stop creating, because you really are talented.

whyyyyy :(
Been downloading since The Sims 1. Always loved your work. You are truly one of the best. Thank you for sharing with us, you will be quite missed.
This is very sad news. I’ve been downloading your custom content for years. You had the best page. You will be greatly missed by all your fans. You made siming what it is with your pure talent. Please reconsider to rid the trolls of victory by putting up a non-blog site?
It won’t be the same without you.
xx
hi, don’t know U, but seems to be very sad, thanks for what U did for others
dont feel badd honey, people are just jerks. just disable comments and problem solved
WOW, I am so so sorry to see another talented designer get pushed away due to the Stupidity of others!! What is sad, is the normally the people who cannot walk and chew bubblegum that are always making things difficult. You had/have a great gift, and we hope one day you will comeback, until then you will be greatly missed Hun. Keep your head high and Thank you so much for all your great work and gifts. God Bless. =-)
Awww Sweetie, PLEASE don’t let those whom are inconsiderate and ugly rude steal you from the people who LOVE YOU!!! For every 1 BUTTHEAD out there you have 100 NON-BUTTHEADS that love and support you… I am a Russian Impressionist Artist… I work with oils and masonite board, as well as, teach art to students from 10yrs. to 100yrs. and I have been torn to shreds on many occations but I couldn’t quit… I refused to let them win… Please come back my friend… You are a very admired and appreciated Artist in the Sims world… I do understand how hurtful some people can be but don’t let the “TROLLS” win… I pray that you will reconsider, come back, create, and forget about them… WE LOVE YOU and it’s your fans who count!!! Many Blessings to you… ~*Cami*~
I am new on downloading for Sims games and I do not know your work, but I downloaded the huge zip file you so kindly provided. I am quite sure that I will like your work. I am so unpleasantly surprised that mean people would take time to actually make you leave us. I am not blaming you I am just disappointed that such low life are present in this Sims lover community. Until now I was convinced that the shearing idea is created and perfected by this wonderful game. I am really sad that they were capable of such unethical behavior. Thank you for your talent and for sharing it with us humble users.The game it will continue to be played, beautiful things will continue to be created, but I will never forget you. I wish you all the best in life.Alets
This is crazy. If not for you and the others from the Sims 2 CC community, Sims 3 would not be playable. I’m sorry. I truly am.
Helaene, I’ve loved your CC since you started creating. It made me very sad when I first saw this, but I hope you feel better now by getting away from that negativity. All the best for whatever you choose to do, Roonya.xx
Their just jealous of your gift to create like you do…
Have a strong drink and make faces to the trolls and think for yourself.
I agree, your giving them exactly what they want…
Chin up girl and let them be jealous…Don’t you know you got more fans than they could ever want…?
Don’t let people get to you and teach others you talents…
There are few people who do what you do…
You could make a lot of money with these skills.
And if you still not with me…
See how long your here with simmies and other players and creators…
It’s up to you, but don’t let others tell you how to live your life…
Big Hug, Sandra
Ah…so unfortunate. Hater Gonna Hate, you know?
Halaene,
I just started playing Sims again and I remembered your wonderful creations back when I was playing sims2. Thanks for your talented work, you’ve made myself and my sims very happy :D
All the best and I keep my fingers crossed that you reconsider sharing more of your creations.
Peace
Basky
I haven’t read every comment on here, but I did see quite a few that say you’re giving the trolls what they want.
That’s true- by giving up you’re letting them “win”. I read a comment elsewhere that it was comments on another blog that were really bothering you. If that’s true- the anons at that site are a problem. There are a lot of creators who don’t want their creations posted there anymore because of it. Ignore them. They’re not worth worrying about.
Dear Helaene
I’m very sorry that people didn’t appreciate your fantastic work. They are the type to try to ignore. All of your fans appreciate you and you are noted as one of the most talented creator of the sims content. I’ll miss your beautiful creations! Take Care! Foxshasta
I’m so sorry but I understand your reasons. I’ll always be great full for the beautiful things you’ve made over the years. Yes..the simming community has changed abit, but at its heart I believe are real people who are indeed polite and will miss your creations greatly. Best of luck for your future endeavors whatever they may be and peace to you always.
You will be remembered fondly Helaene as the best. <3
So sorry to see you go. You were one of the first custom content creators I found. I hope everything works out for the best…don’t give the trolls the control or energy!
Awww, I LOVED your stuff. :( What a shame you were forced to do this. People have absolutely no manners or compassion anymore.
Please, have a wonderful life, and may all your wishes come true.
I’m so sorry to see you go cause of such mean people, you were my favorite custom content creater.
Hope you come back one day.
Good wishes.
I just re-installed TS2 and was setting up my game. The only place I ever came to for brows and makeup was your site. I’m so sad to see you exited the community. Take care.
