HW_dropShadow_Master

Going forward any new objects I share will probably require this package file.  It goes in your download folder and you only ever need to download it once. 

It’s the shadow texture that the Sims 3 (and I believe the Sims 4) both share. It’s purpose is to save on duplicate resources.  

Download at SFS

File is also available at MTS (Better Bath upload)

Texture name:  ##0x1C050000!dropshadowmaster  if anyone wants to use if for their own objects.

Imagine only using one shadow resource for all your object creations? Just love it, and reblogging this to remind myself about this particular texture yumminess.

New update to Tutorial Library

Hi, kids! If you’ve been by my Tutorial Library page recently, you may have noticed it’s kind of a mess. As a select number of my tutorials are now available in four (4!) languages, I’m gradually switching over from the two-column system to the big, easy-to-find letters. Huge shout-out and THANK YOU to Lizzy @lizcrea for the French translations, Fire_flower @fireflowersims for the Dutch translations, and Coni (for correcting my atrocious grammar on the Spanish translations). tl;dr I started this project about three years ago, with the goal of preserving the community’s knowledge so that it isn’t lost, and with presenting it in a clear, easy-to-follow, textbook-style format. To date, I’ve added 18 tutorials to the archive, with the intention to add even more in the future. This is still very much a work in progress, and I’m glad the community has received it so positively.

The tutorials now available in French and/or Dutch can be found at the top of the page, just below the intro. The rest can still be found in the dual columns below.

Have a look here:

(TL;DR) The Fast and Furious Details:

these have their own GUID, completely different from the other version. (needed more for this set, so that is why they have their own)

two recolorable subsets; fabric & wood

you get two colors : black and white.

these are also repositoried, slaves and master are clearly labeled.

this also has its own invisible recolor as well.

Bonus #1! two additional recolors of Jonesi bed blanket (these are a separate download)

Massive Data Loss

Okay, so…my drive corrupted that was storing the last 6 months of projects I’ve been working on. Many that were close to being released. And no I didn’t back it up…that’s a failure on my part. You can bet I’ll be backing up and then backing up my backups in the future. I have been unable to restore the data myself and have actually now sent my dive off for data recovery. It’s going to cost me a pretty penny of way too many hundreds of dollars but on that drive were also personal things and even files I cannot get back or duplicate. So to me, it’s worth it. Now pray that they dudes can indeed get all the information off of it and back to me. Just to give you an idea of what was lost here’s a sad list:

Fishing Holes, Fish Packing Stations, Seafood Traps/Foraging Spots, Bait Sources

Maxis Crop Packing Station

Grains, Rice, and flour converter.

Miner’s update/Geode Cracking

Industrial Tea Crop, Tea Pots, Various Effect Tea

Potions Making and Various Effect Potions

Various Fixes for Basket Weaver, Miner, Ducks/Geese, Herbs/Spices.

Food/Treasure Hunting Animals

Fruit and Nut Vendors

Study Aid Objects/Recipe Books

Sheep Livestock

That’s just the sims package files…I also lost all my textures, my clone base files, reference files, code pulls, and my Big Book of GUIDs. These later things I have backed up older versions for some of them but anything new texture or update wise it gone.

Some of these files I can recover from the helpful simmers that have helped me along the way lately. If you’re one of them, I’ll be getting in contact with you because maybe you’re better than I am and have a backup.

So yeah…that’s where I am on projects at current. I’m going to hope for the best and in the meantime work on other files that I had planned but didn’t start yet and have the resources to do.

Sorry guys, won’t be anything released anytime soon unless I get the data back.

[fracturedmoonlight]

Along with Sun&Moon stuff, I have also lost projects that were branded only under Fractured Moonlight. Most notably;

Kindred Cabinets Set (That teal and incendiary counter you keep seeing in previews was a WHOLE KITCHEN SET).

Trash Chutes - I medieval-ized and magic-fied them.

Silent Princess Flowers of Various Types

Frac and Davina Get Wasted - Various Stuff

[sunmoon-starfactory]

In effort to be completely transparent it has been suggested to me that I give out that exact price and also put up a paypal donate button. So the price tag on this is $475 dollars. Which as I stated is a lot of hundreds of dollars for some invisible number data for a thing I make no money off of doing that is strictly a hobby for the most part.

So here’s an ugly Paypal link that’s supposed to be a donate button but the button picture doesn’t work.

Donate Via PayPal

@davinaojeda threatened me already that if I didn’t set one up, she would…because she’s an awesome friend like that to tell me when I’m being stupid and it’s okay to ask for help sometimes. <3 

[fracturedmoonlight]

Cross blogging this here too. Seriously guys, I feel super weird doing this…but hey, if someone wants to help yay and if they don’t then nothing lost really. My credit card gets to feel it either way.

[lady-silverwolf]

Pretty sure most of my followers already follow you darlin’, but I am reblogging this simply because of the amount of $$ you need to help recover that wonderful data you’ve lost. I have seen all those goodies in PBK discord of your works-in-progress, and I just know other simmers out there would love to use the wonderful things you were creating to release. So yes, Reblogging! PS: check your basket darlin’! <3  <3  <3

🌷get to know your followers🌷

~blinks~ I got tagged?! Doh'

Thanks for the tag.... uhm...  ~blush~ I am not really good at meme’s but here goes!

And... I was tagged by @kacicka777. Honored you wanted to know more about me :D

Gender: female

Astrological Sign: Scorpio, but not the typical sort.

Height: I am shrinking… seriously!

Sexuality: past the due date on the package ~eyeshift~

Favorite colors: There are days that darker shades of blue are my thing, and then there are days that purples demands my love affair with colors.

Hogwarts 🏠: Hufflepuff – loyalty and fairness are a thing for me.

Favorite animal: Fantasy? Dragons. Reality? Horses, but I don’t own one, so I have settled for loving dogs, cats and fish over the years.

Average hours of 💤: never enough, but I try to get at least 6  

Dogs or cats: Do I really have to choose? They both have wonderful qualities… I want them both. :D

Dream travel: Milky Way - seriously... I want to go and see it ALL!

Dream job: unemployed yet living comfortably (not extravagantly!). I am much too old now to want to start a new career! Realistically though I want to become published as a writer... I just need TIME.

When I created this account: 2014ish time frame but did not make my first post until 2018

Why I created this account: to go on download binges and thank creators with tiny little hearts because I wanted to thank them for their creativity and for sharing their work.

Favorite songs of the week: Ima lil’ teapot, short and stout…

I am still stunned I have as many followers as I do, given I do not do much in the reblogging scene, or create on a steady basis, and because I tend to skip most of the meme stuff. See... I just am not really good at this kind of thing... I think.

I am not sure who has done this, and I really do not want to go back into 1000 pages of history... So uhm… in no particular order I tag the following 15 folks and if you have done it… feel free to skip. If not interested, no worries, and please do not feel obligated to respond. But I figured I would try to spread the meme love…

Tagging : @12raben, @mortia, @simlishnoir, @niamh-sims, @plath-sims, @kaylynn-langerak, @squeezleprime, @cindysimblr, @withlovefromayre, @fireflowersims, @vulrien, @ophidiaesims, @davinaojeda, @fracturedmoonlight, @katmk36  (a couple of you I was not able to link too... not sure why...here is hoping you see it!)

... WiP - Pews & Cushions

… WiP – Pews & Cushions

I have a couple projects in work, but time is never on my side. I have way too many things I truly love to do on my downtime; from watching Game of Thrones, working on my various (non-sim) stories, playing Minecraft with my youngest son, to working on my collections of goodies in World of Warcraft. However, I find creating for sims2 to get my creative juices flowing for all my entertainment…

I just died, and am posting this from simming heaven!  Raynuss just made Samanta Black’s Veritas TS3-TS2 rose bushes seasonal…

AND!!  AND!!!  He made a double height hedge version of them!!! Oh…and visible from lot and neighbourhood view! *faints* revives* faints again*

Raynuss deleted his account because he was horribly treated at another site.  It’s heartbreaking.  Thankfully many folks in the community have been sharing his stuff and I found these files posted by Astarte at Sim Pearls.  Here’s the link:

Reblogging with a new download link as Raynuss has left the community.

[lady-silverwolf]

To add to this set (if anyone is interested in it), I wanted to mention I found the “no rose recolor” in my backup cloud that was also created by Raynuss (I don’t know/have the information for the original link, else I would share that instead).

Click on the WordPress link for details for the update … Sorry !!

"Ruh-roh--RAGGY!!!"

Somehow or another, I managed to obtain 40 followers.

This was completely unexpected, and I am honored to that each of you thought I was worthy to follow, given that I have two posts (counting this one) on this simblr. And honestly I have nothing prepared.

However, I hope I can offer something I have found on my recent reorganization mission of cleaning up my downloads on my cloud drive.

I call it my Lost and Found Files section because I either was not able to locate where these files came from, or I know that the download link no longer exists.

Ove's Potion Default using the Panacea Potion Set by Kate at Parsimonious

A wooden Default Replacement of the children’s green plastic stool

These files have been uploaded to SFS and are available for anyone who is interested in them. (I have a sneaky suspicion others may also have these files available elsewhere, but I just have not been able to locate where)

They are available for download at the The Digital Den.
