Hi, I'm sorry to bother, as I know you've been on hiatus, but do you know how I would update your non-default Gradient Skintones to be enabled for Mermaids? I opened the files in S4S, but they are only enabled for alien and vampire occult states. I love them and think they'd be gorgeous on mermaids. Thanks in advance

Hello! I believe if you use CmarNYC Skiniator there should be an option to enable them for mermaids. I unfortunately don’t know the specifics on how to go about it since I haven’t made or updated any of my cc in quite a while, but that’s what I used to make them. Here’s where you can download Skiniator:

ModTheSims - TS4 Skininator - Version 2.5.1, 7/4/2022

A tool for the creation of custom skintones for The Sims 4

Currently, I am unable to update them myself at the present moment. The skins are due for some major updates, which I’m hoping to get around doing this year, but if I’m honest are not at the top of my priority list.

You’re completely right that they would look gorgeous on mermaids and I wish mermaids has been around when I released them. I do hope this helped a little!

Hi there! I was wondering if you're planning to recolor your gradient overlays to the historian palette? I've checked out your WIP sheet and it states "All Palette" so I'm checking in with you. If you're not intending to recolor them, may I do so? :)

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry for only getting back to you now 🙈

I have no intentions to do any other recolors for my overlays any time soon, so feel free to do so if you would still like to!

Hey everyone 👋

It’s been a while! Hope everyone has been doing well.

Lately I’ve been feeling really nostalgic and missing the days I use to play and post sim content consistently. I hadn’t checked this account in quite a while, but tonight I just felt like dropping by and saying hi.

I didn’t exactly intend to go hiatus with no notice, but life happened and before I knew it has already been two and a half years since I last updated 😅

Between work and my personal life/relationships video games in general have been on the back burner for the last two years. However, I dearly miss the simblr community and the creative side that sharing and posting sims brought to my life.

I’m unsure of when I’ll post again, but I definitely want to return at some point. It’s been so long that I’ll have to relearn how to do so many things, which to be honest I’m not super stoked about haha. However, I am itching to make and create things, so I know it will be worth it.

Anyway, if I don’t post again before the end of the year I wish everyone has a wonderful rest of the year and a happy and prosperous New Year!

- Aury 💙

in the wake of yet another black person being murdered by police, here’s a list of relevant fundraisers and organizations that could use your support right now. 

this is specifically a call to action for fellow white people. if you’re white and you’re in any way able to, donate.

George Floyd’s memorial fund

Minnesota Freedom Fund: “We value a society that values its people, their freedom and recognizes their contribution to the greater good. A society that does not condition pretrial freedom on class or identity, that has ended mass incarceration, and that invests in restorative and transformative justice.”

Black Visions Collective, an org that strives to “shape a political home for Black people across Minnesota. We aim to center our work in healing and transformative justice principles, intentionally develop our organizations core DNA to ensure sustainability, and develop Minnesota’s emerging Black leadership to lead powerful campaigns.”

Reclaim the Block, which “organizes Minneapolis community and city council members to move money from the police department into other areas of the city’s budget that truly promote community health and safety. We believe health, safety and resiliency exist without police of any kind. We organize around policies that strengthen community-led safety initiatives and reduce reliance on police departments.”

You make me feel things I don't believe in It's all up in my heart And all up in my spine those chills

[auralixx]

I think I’ve finally made a new reshade preset I’m mostly satisfied for my Strangerville save! Still can’t decide if I should lower down a bit on the contrast or not, but I do think it looks good enough on it own without me needing to go and edit it more than necessary. 

Also, now that I’ve gotten ACNH out of my system, I think I’ll possibly be dedicating some more time for simming in the coming days/weeks (plus I’m planning on getting photoshop this weekend so I can finally edit, woo!!). Let’s see how things go...

@intramoon’s  reshade presets give me life

Can you believe that today I actually felt like loading up sims and actually playing my game for once? Yeah, me neither lol. 

I never got around finishing my StrangerVille play through last year, so that’s what I’m going to do in the next few days.

I’m thinking of starting it up again from the beginning, since I didn’t get too far in the story and I’ve also updated Jasmine’s look a bit. 

So yes, posts are in the works! I can’t say when I’ll have a queue set up yet (since I currently don’t have photoshop to edit my photos), but hopefully I’ll have something to share in the coming weeks.

will you be updating the eezo shot gradient overlays for island living?

Hi! I haven’t used the gradients in a while, so I didn’t realize they weren’t showing up properly! I’ll look into them and update them accordingly.

Thank you for letting me know of the issue! :)

[auralixx]

To the anon that sent me this ask, I checked both in game and in CAS and couldn’t find any issues with the overlays. I know prior there was a small issue with the overlay showing over a mermaid’s tail after island living came out, but it was with the sorbets colors and I have already updated them. 

If the problem still persist, let me know in more detail what the issue is and I’ll do what I can to sort it out!

Hi guys! I know it’s been a few months since I last posted, and though it wasn’t something I intended to do, I still wanted to apologize for leaving so abruptly without notice.

With everything going on in the world at the moment, I don’t feel like completely  coming back yet (mostly because I don’t have Photoshop at the moment, and I’ve also taken up playing ACNH, and doing other hobbies I've neglected over last few months/year), but hopefully I’ll soon pick up where I last left.

I also thought I’d announce that I’m retiring from doing recolors (mainly in both the Sorbets and Eezo Shots complete palettes). Not that I ever consistently shared recolors, but I know a large portion of my following follows me for that reason and I wanted to let you all know.

I still plan to finish off the last few remaining recolors in my WIP sheet, to continue sharing other types of custom content, and to maybe do/or take a recolor request every once in a while. So that’s that. 

I miss you all and I sincerely hope you are all safe and doing well.

- Much love, Aury ♥

Would you ever consider doing a sim dump? The sim in your heart blush post is so so cute!!

Thank you!! ♥ I’d consider doing another sim dump, but honestly I use so much cc and (especially now that I have merged a good portion of it) it can be really time consuming having to track down certain items down in my backup folder. 

However, I’m more than happy to upload her by herself when I release the blush. I’m hoping to have it done by next week :)
