Hey, there! You can call me Lua. I recolor things. Lots of things. Here are some links!: Answers to Asks | Replies to Replies | Resources (LJ) | My Color Palette

Whoa. Hi!

It has been *quite* a while since I've posted anything, so I checked this account out of curiosity. When I was last here, I posted about (in a post that's now private) how I was getting into modding Stardew Valley. I guess I never followed up about that. In fact, I did end up modding the game, decently successfully! If anyone is still following this blog who happens to mod SDV, my account is actually @junimods (nexus profile). And I don't think I ever said, but my name is Elle! Weird to think about how I got my start over here.

I still see that people are recoloring sims 2 stuff in my palette, which is amazing! I hope you're all doing well. I remember my time making Sims 2 stuff very fondly.

FaceBowl Sink Recolors

Weird posting here, but I recolored something for the Kitchen & Bath EP per someone’s very old request. Not going to be doing this often, I’ll probably be staying inactive, but I had some time to kill.

Anyway, 40 colors, 1 white recolor of the sink itself, compressed. No preview, sorry. Dirty states included but I didn’t test them, might be a bit pixel-y. Lemme know if you use these and have problems.

Thank you for all of your time and effort in creating all these wonderful recolors. Do you know of any toilets and sinks done in these colors?

You’re very welcome! :D

As far as I know, I’m the only person that’s recolored and released things in my palette—but I’ve been absent for a while, so that could have changed. I know I have at least one toilet recolored, here, but I’m afraid that may be it! Hope you can find what you’re looking for. :)

will you ever release your colors as actions? :) or do you mind having them turn into actions?

I just responded to a similar question on my livejournal, so if that was you, sorry again for the late reply!

I believe someone has already turned my colors into curves for gimp, but thank you for at least asking how I felt. :) I absolutely do not mind! I also wouldn’t mind releasing my own actions (for photoshop), I just don’t know when I will get around to it.

Happy simming!

Okay, the bounce chair links have been updated with the fixed mesh! Sorry about that.

[luasims]

drew-cricket said: Hello Anna has some recolors of the bouncy seat at her LJ and either she includes the working mesh or she provides a link to the working mesh but you should be able to find it over there. I’m on a phone so I can’t give you a link sorry. :( good luck!

Thank you! I don't know why I didn't check there first! 

I'll test it in game to make sure and then update the links. :)

[luasims]

I just used your recolors of the seasons stuff you've made and I wanted to tell you how beautiful they are. <3 Thanks for doing this!

Thank you so much, dear. <3 You are very welcome!

Graphics Rules Maker program for The Sims 2. Improve Compatibility with Modern Systems!

Please reblog so everyone can get their Sims 2 game working properly, without the hassle of editing the graphics rules and video cards files yourself.

Furthermore we’ll add a SimCity 4 plugin very soon.

Now this is REALLY useful!

Hi Lua, just thought you should know the recolors of the Bounce Chair didn't come with the sound file. You know like when the baby pushes the buttons it makes different animal sound. Do you by any chance have that file still? Thank You:)

Oh, I'm sorry! I honestly had forgotten all about that. I actually had to redownload the meshes just for the recolors, since my computer is fairly new. I'm not sure where to get the sound file these days.

Does anyone here know?

[luasims]

I can't download anything from your box even though you said it reset already, do you have backups for the items that aren't on mediafire like the ikea uldum rug recolors?

Oh, I’m sorry! The uldum rug is on my mediafire, I just forgot to update the post. It’s right here.

My box accounts did reset on the 1st, but one of them (which the rug is on) is out of bandwidth already. Sorry again for the trouble. If you come across any more problems, don’t hesitate to let me know!

[luasims]

Oh, and for those who have the UC and have tried it out, was anything changed? For instance, was CAS fixed for widescreens, or was the nvidia black rectangle shadow glitch fixed? I doubt it, but it could be worth reinstalling if the game got some updates.

[luasims]

For those of you that still hadn't received the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and didn't bother contacting EA support about it (like me), they updated their UC page.

All you need to do go to the code redemption page and enter the code I-LOVE-THE-SIMS. I can confirm that it works.

Happy simming, everyone!

Edit: The code is only valid until July 31st, 10am PDT.

[naterxandersims]

I typically play as premades, but I attempted to make a sim just now and this is what CAS looks like for me. Does anyone know how I can get the menu over the right instead of in the middle of the screen? The way it is now I can barely see my sim.

EDIT: I found a fix for it. I had to download THIS mod. Linked it here just in case anyone has a similar problem. It’s not the best solution, but it works, I guess.

[needlecream]

I have had this problem forever! Thank you!

[luasims]

Ugh, this has always really bugged me, even with the mod. And I'm assuming it wasn't fixed in the UC?

All Require Seasons! 242 files total, all of which are compressed. No "all" links this time, sorry! I've got about 30% bandwidth left on my Box account at the time of this post. Let me know if I mixed up any links!

Swatch.

The day that the TS2 Ultimate Collection was announced, I registered my copy of Double Deluxe with Origin. I never received any email about the UC, and it still has not appeared in my Origin library. I know that I could easily speak with a rep and get it added to my account, but I'm curious to see if it'll appear if I just wait it out. (I don't actually need the UC, and I'd probably never use it anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me.)

Tomorrow is the 22nd, so we shall see...

[luasims]

Is there an easy way to make collection-only recolors? That's the only way I would ever be comfortable recoloring walls and floors, and some have been requested. 40 colors is too many to put in the build catalog.
