Does anyone know where I can find a good skin + light color for under hands and feet for a dark-skinned sim? All of the skins that I’ve found have the option of darker skin but it’s basically just as monochromic as EA’s original one. I'd be delighted if anyone had ashy knee/elbow textures too.

Okay but realtalk the thing that really gets me is when people complain about having to wait for five seconds on adfly to access a download link to something that somebody else a) spent a huge amount of effort working on and b) has no obligation to share in the first place

like yall need to calm down and stop bein little ingrates

I’m toying around with joining Equus Sims bc it looks like a lot of fun but then at the same time I’m kinda concerned because of this line in the rules:

Some topics are not to be discussed on the Equus-Sims forum. Topics that are not allowed include religious views, political views, or topics involving sexual nature and sexual preferences.

What does that mean for somebody who isn’t straight - like, are straight people allowed to talk about pretty benign stuff like mentioning their S.O. in conversation/everyone else is not or does it mean more like no talking about kinks?

WIPs of Queen Z. I’m so proud of my first custom marking ever!! She doesn’t have any colors other than the base right now, and her detailing (which is a little hard to see in the shitty light but looks fantastic ingame) was made my @lakeside-ranch. I’m probably going to make her 2 socks and really faint early (as in ~2/3 yo) seal bay muzzle marks next.

The only downside with her lightning bolt is that it was made as a full body regional because I couldn’t get it to work with a cloned in-game head marking. For some reason, though, I could get it to work doing the same exact thing with a fullbody marking. Does anyone know why that might be/how to move categories??

I have close to 8K files not including the cc heavy ruby red house in my launcher

So this is reheaaally far-fetched but I have a general list of stuff that I’d like to hopefully learn to do.

- a more realistic hoof retexture, because the default really irks me tbh - maybe a default replacement. 

- more realistic bay markings (and unique ones for the IRL horses I want to do)

- eye and nose linings for pink-skinned horses

- a fewspot coat, maybe?

- specifically working on Pharoah and Queen Z right now. Their markings should be individually downloadable when I’m done, too!

[breathes heavily] it’s happening

[frigidsims-blog]

Currently working on my first ever creation - I’m hoping to make a downloadable American Pharoah with a custom coat/face marking, and maybe Zenyatta as well, bc I think her blaze would be fun to do and she is my beloved daughter.

One of my coats/builds from last year: a melanistic black-and-tan GSD named Nena. Her form is a little slimmer than my male GSD. Click the shot on the right to see her feet!

Is your cc for TS3 or TS4?

I’m going to let you guess 3 times

Making it work: Simlish, English, and the Montréal model

So one of the conflicts that I see a lot with cc/storylines is whether or not to include stuff with IRL languages - so this is kind of how I incorporate both and explain it in my plots, because there’s sooo much good stuff that has words in English on it.

Because there are ports in almost every world, it makes sense that there could’ve been a lot of cultural exchange, which would offer a way for IRL languages like English to make their way into the population. Because information, loanwords, etc. tend to spread faster in cities, I tend to think that there are more multilingual sims there than there are in some of the rural worlds, but the primary language in all of these places - and the one that legal documents, road signs, etc. are written in - is still Simlish.

Culturally, I imagine Bridgeport (a good example city) to be something like Montréal, Quebec, albeit with less tension. Most people speak Simlish in public and it’s kind of assumed that people living there know it, but products, signs, and the like still list the English translation in smaller print beneath it.
