Krystal UI

[greenplumbboblover]

WIP: Sims 3 Unofficial Create-a-UI

Because I wanted to keep the naming convention alive I guess lol

While I was working on my UI mod, I got absolutely sick and tired of having to open the Layout file up, change the area numbers, close that, save the package, open the game up (it didn't always want to hot reload for me :() notice how far off it was from where I wanted it to be, and rinse and repeat...

Soooo, like any normal person, I figured: I've got all this research that's collecting dust, which I had done on how the Layout stuff works... I know how to program... I really wanted to try out Rust/Tauri (because I'm a nerd lol)... why don't I just make a program! :D

Fast forward, we have this! :)

In it's current state it's not super interesting. It loads in the Layout files and you can toggle bits and pieces of it on or off (Since EA also has certain bits turned offf by default, and inside a script turns them on).

The idea is that hopefully you can make your own UIs! Or even edit EAs, in the future much easier than what we currently can.

Oh and the app comes with a dark/light mode! :D Another thing is that it will be available for Linux, Mac and Windows straight away :)

I'll keep you all up to date on it! Obviously this is just bare-bones so expect a lot to change!

[greenplumbboblover]

Long overdue asks... actually answered! :D

Hey @asdwmusic @cojingle !!

So sorry for the late reply!! I meant to respond sooner but job hunting got my stress levels at 100000% lol.

The project is technically scrapped, but I do hope with my much better Blender knowledge (and sliders if that) to actually get back into it... but I can't guarantee it. :(

hey! @urlafybearsims ! I'm currently working on it! :) But it's been super slow (See: Linky).

I'm not sure why, but as summer approaches, my urges to play the sims and make stuff for it just gets massive lol. So I hope at that time the simblr rewrite is done, that I've gotten around uploading the first part of the UI!

[greenplumbboblover]

Hey! It's been a while! :) Hope you all are doing good!

So I didn't mean to go on a hiatus like I did (and that counts for all my blogs actually :p)

Truth be told, I'm just going to give it straight to you: I need more hours in the day.........

Currently I'm just so busy with everything. It's not even real life that's in the way anymore (3 day weekends, baby! 🎉), but all the projects and side hustles I have.

I'm working on a rewrite of Simblr.cc (again lol, but trust me it's gonna be epic, and more focused on socializing), working on making metahuman clothing, attempting to write a book, real life sewing projects, attempting on creating a game (it's getting there!)...

I'm trying to pry in some sims 3 in that time. I've been really missing it! Storytelling and coding in it honestly. I have been able to peek some more UI creating time, but I'm still not far enough to consider it done.

Anyways! Hello! 👋

I just finished another devlog!

It's more or less about what my inspiration is about, and what I want things to look like.

I also shared what female base mesh I have so far made! Of course it's missing a lot still (like hair and clothes lol) but if you have any feedback on it so far, let me know! :)

[greenplumbboblover]

Hey everyone!

It's been a bit since I checked in and I know I keep making these posts without showing much lol.

Truth be told, I am feeling very burnt out from the sims 3 at the moment.

At this point I'm not entirely sure when I will fully return back to it but I feel that I do need to listen to myself and follow my more new interests.

I am currently attempting to finish the UI but after that I really don't know if I will be making any more content for the game, aside from story stuff, which I will be updating soon too.

What's next?

Aside from doing more stuff with InZOI and hopefully paralives when it comes out, creating non-sims assets for Unreal and Unity and maintaining Simblr.cc, I am also working on my (life-sim-like) dream game!

Currently it's all capsules that talk and incredibly prototype-y, and I still need to make assets for it, but I've been working on it everyday for the past few weeks and really loving it!

A lot of the elements I want to include are things I have talked about before modding to the sims 3, but truth be told, because the sims 3 was never meant to have things like stories be told, or interests and hobbies, I find myself having to annnoyingly hack it all in. And that has also really killed my enthusiasm in modding.

Here though, I can just add these things without thought :)

If you're curious about it, I have made a project on it on Itch.io where I'll update what I got done, my ideas and inspiration if you're curious!

I'll also be posting some of it here probably, in case anyone is interested :)

[MOD] 6 Swimwears for your ZOIs!

Hey hey! They're finally done!

My first InZOI Garments! I spent quite a bit of work on these and learning the ropes on not just retopology (from MD to blender), but also how to create clothing for InZOI!

All Garments are "Full sets", meaning that you can't switch bikini tops/bottoms. But once ModKit gets updated for it, I might do that in the future :)

My first InZOI mod! :D

Apparently this was too... 'nude' for curseforge, so that's why you won't be able to find it in the in-home InZOI mods launcher, but hey. Each to their own, I guess lol.

(Ps, in the future I'll make sure to keep this blog more ts3, I just was really proud of my first mod! 😉)

[simblrcc-site]

Hey everyone!

So... I made a HUGE blunder 😬.

Someone brought it to my attention that uploading gameplay pictures, while possible, isn't possible to have it attached to an event. (aka the autumn event).

Now, if you were one of those people who couldn't upload any gameplay pictures to the contest you can do two things:

Upload it on Tumblr and simply tag @simblrcc-site and I will count it as an entry! :)

Upload it in the Discord channel, in the InZOI showcase channel!

Upload it on Simblr.cc anyways and put somewhere in the title/description "for autumn event/for giveaway contest". ... and I will manually assign it to the event myself :)

Sorry again for this HUGE blunder and any inconvenience it may have brought you! I'm kind of beating myself up for it too. 😬 In the meantime, I'll fix the issue. I'm just not sure if I will have it fixed soon enough for the contest's deadline.

If the giveaway is completely new news for you, feel free to read the previous post here: https://simblr.cc/user/1-admin/posts/5859-inzoi-giveaway-contest.html

[greenplumbboblover]

It must be pretty hard these days for new CC creators to get their foot in the door and getting a following going. A lot of mods these days are like super high-res, edited images, with really impressive meshes!

I like to sort of compare it with 2010 youtube to 2025 youtube videos. The starting quality you need to have these days for getting some views vs Microsoft movie maker quality tutorials... it's quite a stark difference really.

Working on the Dead site repository a bunch lately got me thinking about that. I mean, here's a great example of a 2013-ish tumblr content: Modish kitten or Simsimi. Back then these images were super impressive!

I just wonder, if hypothetically speaking, those creators made their way in today, if it would be the same somehow? If they'd get recognision as much as they did back in 2013-ish?

Although I think this applies pretty heavily to the sims 4, I guess all sims communties have moved a bit to super high quality items.

Anyways, that's what was just on my mind that I wanted to share lol. I guess sometimes I miss the good ol' days where picture taking was still simple. 😉

InZOI Giveaway Contest

Remember how I said I had exciting news for the autumn event this year? Well, this is the exciting news!

By participating the Autumn Event, you can win some exciting gifts!

The contest will run from today (4th of September) till: 24th of September.

🏆 What Can I win?

🥇 Place 1:

a FREE Steam Game Key

an official Island Getaway Shirt!

🥈 Place 2:

An official Island Getaway Shirt

📌 How do I participate?

For this contest strictly, for fairness, the following posts will be considered entries:

Gameplay Posts

Lookbooks

🎨 How Do I Join in?

Simple! Here's a quick step by step:

Take a picture of your sims/zois that fits either: Tropical/Summer vibes, or autumn!

Then, upload your pictures(s) to the Autumn event! (See here on how to upload)

In your Description, type: "InZOI giveaway". To let me know you want your event post to be part of the contest!

Sit back and wait! (Or send over another post to participate in).

📝 What are the rules?

While I'm trying to make it as fair as possible, there are a couple of things to note:

Your post needs to be either autumn related, or summer/tropical vibes.

You may use earlier uploaded images to the site to join the contest.

To join the contest, you MUST be 18 or over.

Your post MUST include " InZOI Giveaway" in the description.

Your email used to log in must be reachable.

If in the scenario I can't reach you through email, or potentially discord, the price may be given to the next winner.

You may upload InZOI screenshots. If that's the case, let me know if it's just the shirt you want! (In the description or when I'm reaching out is fine).

You may upload sims screenshots.

Obviously it needs to follow the site's guidelines

After getting the steam key, you can also freely download the InZOI: Island Getaway DLC! (Which is already free 😉)

Merch key code has an expiry date of 30th of September. If you happened to be late grabbing the merch, I can't do much about it.

When does it run till?

While the autumn event itself runs a bit longer, due to the fact that the merch codes have an expiry date, this contest runs a little shorter.

The contest will run from today (4th of September) till: 24th of September.

Hope to see your cool pictures soon! 🌻

Love,

Lyralei

[greenplumbboblover]

I'm really excited to be doing Simblr.cc's first giveaway! I know InZOI is not everyone's choice of game, but the newest DLC has me seriously hooked playing it. I haven't really done that since 2013 with a sims game.

Any sims game can join in! So you don't have to take InZOI pictures and upload that obviously (That's kind of defeating the point of getting the free steam key lol).

Plus, free shinies! :D

Where the Sea Remembers

Chapter 1

Transcript:

*Sounds of Laughter int he distance*

Cahya: Well. This is where I leave you. If I keep going, you'll end up meeting my landlord, and trust me, no tourist deserves that. Hiroto: I see. I'll stop here. Thank you for today. You've shown me much more than I would've found on my own. Cahya: You're very welcome! Enjoy the rest of your stay! Try not to point your camera at anything sacred, or the locals really will chase you off the island. Hiroto: *Soft laugh* I'll... keep that in mind.

[greenplumbboblover]

Hey!

If anyone is curious, i'm currently also working on a brand-new story on my sideblog, but for InZOI! I figured I'd reblog it in case anyone is interested in reading it. 😉
