Archive Tag Game by @krisunbr

Working backwards through the tags since this is actually the most recent one I got smacked with but OH WELL.

Tagged by @igotsnothing for this game. I love this, super glad you tagged me because I love looking back to see my improvements.

My photoshop abilities are more or less the same, seeing as I came into simblr already at a sorta-intermediate level, but I've learned how to utilize them in new ways and better tricks for lazier ways of things I know already.

But my ability to take more dynamic screens/fine-tune reshade settings per shot has improved a ton even just within a few years. Some of it is my much nicer 2k screen, but I really notice a difference even in basic screens because of knowing how to adjust reshade to be less...blaring.

My CAS skills are definitely the biggest improvement - I'm stupidly proud of how much better I can create what's in my brain through CAS now.

Here's a handful of before/afters, with the old screens on the right, and the rightside screens would have been taken within the last year at worst (it's been a rough year, so I don't have as many examples as I'd like):

The last one with Xavier has the greatest time gap of to show improvements, with about 7 years between the old one on the left, and the one on the right that I took an hour ago really quick since I had none of his updated look. Admittedly the recent one is intended for him to be around 5 years older, but you can still tell it's him, and that even with minimal adjustments he looks SO much better.

A few tags to those in my recent activity if they wanna do it (and are always free to ignore if they don't/already have): @liventta @marrowvale @freezerbnuuy @xmourningvalex @azeterna @thesimselfsworld

Jackie held up her pencil at Xavier. “Scamander, you get that hand out of my face, or I will take it off with this pencil.”

“Okay, well, one I’m not lying I really can do that. And two, have you noticed there’s a massive difference between like cheap UHT skim milk and fresh skim milk? Like the UHT stuff really is just white water.”

“You want to do what?” Xavier looked over the restaurant table at Jaycen. Last time he was here, he blew the werewolf under the table and came in his pants. He was sure that they would have been caught and banned but here they were.

BEFORE a fuckload of alien drama/3 kids ─» AFTER a fuckload of alien drama/3 kids (because gays become middle aged too, man!)

I wasn't originally planning any more self-indulgent zero-effort pride screens, but the space husbands deserved at least a little something made for them. These two are some of my oldest sims, after all.

Xavier walked into the temple. He was a struggling elf and he knew that Sol had a special relationship with some of his followers. Xavier figured if he had just a fraction of that attention from someone so powerful, then he life your turn around. He was in need of a blessing from his Elder God. He stripped out of his robes and dropped to his knees in front of the empty throne, naked body on full display. “Oh, Sol. I call you to bless me with your presence. I am in need of a taste of our power. To be filled with your magic. Take my body as I am and use me as a vessel for your gift.”

A Flirt and a Tease (closed)

@mind-the-muses

Xavier was a flirt. He knew that and proudly admitted it. That was one reason why he enjoyed being a club dancer so much. He was able to flirt openly with any guys that came up to him and they all seemed to enjoy it. He could feel them up and they did the same, often slipping money into his thong. Though he wasn’t always looking to get paid, which is why he flirted with Braxton. The bouncer was so built and handsome, it was impossible to keep him hands off of him. However, he liked to see how far he could push the tough man. He’d walk past, running his hand along whichever body part it hit first but never asked for more. Secretly, he wanted Braxton to take him without much asking.

A Night Out (closed)

@touchofsomething

Was Xavier nervous? Of course he was. He had been to formal events before but his clients weren’t as great as Matthew was. He was intrigued by the guy because he didn’t think that the surgeon needed him. As strikingly beautiful as the man was, he didn’t look like the type of guy that would need much less hire an escort. Though here he was, in a tuxedo that Matthew provided for him, arriving at the banquet hall on Matthew’s arm. He had to remember that he was there solely for eye candy. Sex hadn’t been brought up but Xavier was always prepared and would do anything as long as he was getting paid for it. “You won’t go off and leave me alone will you? Kinda makes it hard to be arm candy without the arm. “ Xavier joked, trying to ease his owned anxiety
