gaming then and now

this is so bad

#so true omfg

i just lost 4 hours of gameplay because i didn’t freaking save. my game never crashes so i never think to save, and it just crashed randomly when i minimized it.

good news is that i do have 50+ posts planned, i just wanted to get a lot more done so i didn’t have to worry about playing. technically i still have all those pictures, i just need to caught up in-game again. :/

How to Make Custom Paintings in TSRW

I’ve gotten a few asks during my “time off” from sims on how to make posters, so here ya go...

What you will need:

TSRW

Image-editing program (I’ll be using Photoshop)

A .dds plug-in (GIMP, Photoshop)

Pictures (I use Society6, Google, and Deviantart)

A mesh

Before I get into the tutorial, I recommend keeping the pictures and the mesh you chose organized in one folder.

Step One - Open up the mesh in TSRW

1. Create new project

2. Double click New Import

3. Browse for your mesh

4. Give it a name and description

5. Click next, then okay.

Step Two - Exporting the .DDS

1. Go to the Textures tab.

2. Delete all but one of the recolors (It doesn’t matter which one.)

3. Click Overlay, then Edit.

4. Click Export. Rename it to whatever you want and export it to the folder with the mesh and pictures.

5. Click Make empty. Minimize TSRW.

Step Three - Cropping/Editing the Images

1. Open Photoshop (or whatever you’re using).

2. Open up the .dds you just exported.

3. Figure out the size of the actual painting (will vary for every mesh). I like to use the lasso tool. Make sure to go to the edges or your picture won’t cover the whole thing. Press Ctrl + C (copy), then press Ctrl + N (new). That will give you the size of the painting. Click Cancel.

4. Open all the images you intend to make into paintings

5. Since my mesh is horizontal and not vertical, I’m going to rotate it. You may or may not have to do this. If you do, make sure you turn it so it matches the original .dds painting.

6. Resize the image to fit the measurements you got earlier. You may have to uncheck Constrain Proportions to get the exact measurements.

7. Select All (Ctrl + A), then Copy (Ctrl + C).

8. Paste (Ctrl + V) onto the .dds

9. Save AS (always save AS!) a .dds (Ctrl + Shift + S). Name it whatever you want and put in the folder with your mesh and pictures.

10. Repeat steps 5-9 for every other image.

Step Four - Importing the Overlay onto the Mesh

1. Go back into TSRW. Duplicate the empty overlay once for every image. (For this particular pack, there are 22 pictures so I’m going to duplicate it 21 times for a total of 22 recolors.)
