Hi! Maybe I'm just confused/lost but I can't for the life of me find a download for your edited Pooklet textures. I found your actions, but not the textures. I'd appreciate if you could please share them? Thank you.
Well maybe you are confused/lost but I also had to spend 84 years going through my archive on this blog to find this reblog from 2016 tagged absolutely nothing helpful for a link. Several moments of confusion and losing it were had during those 84 years. But there you are.
Hi Io! Would you accept commissions for sims content? To be shared with the whole community ofc. I love your cc and I'd honestly pay you to create stuff for the game!
Hey! That’s flattering, I appreciate you asking and thinking so nicely of my stuff :D I’m not opposed to commission cc at all when it’s shared with everyone at the same time, and I’m not opposed to cash paper BUT
I don’t want to do it. Plenty of reasons below:
I really want to hold onto the stress release hobby aspect of creating content: being able to do it at my own pace and doing what I want. I want a hobby, not a side hustle. I have enough of those. Paid requests would remove a big part of my freedom and make it feel like a job.
The amount of hours and work I put into the textures is considerable, and I would charge at least the Finnish minimum hourly wage for it, which would make a one piece clothing set in 4-8 color options a minimum of 30€. That wouldn’t be fair to the commissioner, and any less wouldn’t be fair to me. I’d feel sketchy about using EA/other people meshes as a base and charging for that as well.
I’ve thought about a ko-fi for tips but it wouldn’t look nice on the sidebar menu so I’ve never bothered.
Hello Io, I hope you don't mind me asking why you think Pillowfort sounds like a pyramid scheme? I have an account there but maybe I'll delete it since I wouldn't want to support something shady. What's your opinion?
Oh heh sorry, nothing juicy or awful or call-outy! Very little investigation, very much getting an informed vibe and following it out the door. I just strongly dislike a number of things PF does: artificial prestige (ew) created through closed beta (FOR YEARS, which looks unskilled or lazy, neither is cute) unless you buy your way in — always slimy but especially imo when it’s a social site, it’s pull and longevity built on user created content. Distasteful milking, topped off by the disappointment in what the site actually after years of development offers, esp on behalf of anyone who paid for access? Could be the freebie core functions are water and dry bread on purpose, but again: slimy if so.
Pyramid scheme is hyperbole, but i wouldn’t be surprised if the users giving out the most invitations get something out of it? If not now, maybe later. Paid perks free for a time or something. Hah they better, at even on the most innocent level these folks are doing the staff’s work of making the site look appealing and prestigéay. But yeah that’s the first step on the pyramid ladder, get perks for involving as many people as you can. I don’t blame anyone for doing it though, people should get a chance to see for themselves and form their own opinion! It’s always possible i’m a grump wearing a tinfoil witch hat and hate fun in general.
None of these things are new, Dreamwidth did the same thing ten years ago (but not for as long as pf has now) but this time around i don’t want to support a site doing all this by being part of its userbase. That’s all there is to it, really.
Hello! I don't know if you're still cool with sharing sims, but if you are could you share the first sim from the 'Ade Honestly' mesh edit/retexture post (/post/181164186685/)
Sure thing :) Fun fact 1: the sim’s a slightly improved version of the one in my most popular TS2 post from 2014 + fun fact 2: I have no idea what you guys do with my sims, I rarely see any pictures?! I’d love to see them living their best lives in worlds other than these :D
Anyway, Witches here comes with minimum (lol) CC, just the stuff on her face and custom eyes. I’ve renamed probably all the cc files and de-geneticized the skintone, so as always, CleanInstaller is heavily recommended!
Witches should look decent at all ages, hope she’ll get a more interesting life than just modeling cc in other games!
Heyyyy; i'm so interested in strange county and what you've made with the premades, it's so amazing, love the whole ambiance / background. If you were to develop a serie on it, like with episodes and stuffs (i love to see simstories as series) what would the 1st season be about ? like plot line and stuffs ? characters ?! I hope one day you'll develop this story !!
HElloo :D You people are the best thing, being like this in my asks ❤️ Thank you! I’m at a place where in a week or two I should be able to actually sit down and write SC clean enough for other people’s eyes (been waiting for that for what, two or three years now, wow) so there’s that! Here’s hoping.
It’s definitely suffering a little from SO MUCH GOING ON WITH TOO MANY PEOPLE OH MY GOD I FORGET HALF for an easy-to-follow story, so I’ll be chopping it down to more cohesive wholes in separate story arcs tbh. If just to keep my own sanity and trim down the bloat on the side. Structuring the world and story like that, it looks like it’ll be three consecutive big arcs? Each consisting of hopefully less than ten episodes/chapters. Any more at the current pace and we’d be at this 50 years from now.
First season of Strange County: the Series would (and does) mainly center on Komei’s cult of badness: it’s a bit of red herring – but not entirely – while the supernatural bad vibes are building up in the background*. Essentially it allows introducing an initially limited gallery of characters, and have them make less than well-informed decisions that accelerate actual shit to fan hitting.
Premise: Strangetown is a whole town’s worth of liminal space. Locals have been disappearing into the desert for years, often enough that it’s almost normalized. There’s a weird sludgy atmosphere even to the mundane everyday. Allegra and Lilith are outsiders, hired by another, Jane Stacks-Curious, to solve the Beakers’ disappearance and doing so clear her husband Lazlo, and his brothers from any suspicions of involvement. All signs point to the old Muenda farm currently run by Komei and his followers, and boy there sure is something dodgy** going on there. While Allegra focuses on the job and makes friends with the reluctant local deputy Tank “Grumpy” Grunt, Lilith starts on her own dissociation adventure leading towards 13 Dead End Lane. She finally feels at home somewhere and sick to her stomach because of it.
Dunt dunn. The following arcs introduce Olive’s Magic as the Shit Catalyst, and Soil Alien*** bloodlines, and more of the characters so far left in the background. I know the vibe I want for the story but don’t know for sure yet if I’m good enough to make it come across. I’ll try to gather my courage to try though, now that I have a chance to!
Hi! Can you made afbottomshortskirtshoes default replacement on this post/173510162755/afb-short-skirt-heels-everyday-skirt-for-af?
Hey. I’ve got that actually as my own default already but can’t remember if I used someone else’s default package as a quick and dirty personal use base (in which case it would overlap with whatever mesh was used in that other default I hijacked) or if I did it from the ground up? It’s not dangerous if the former, just makes it the culprit if some other mesh in your downloads potentially changes shape.
With that warning, here you go. Compressed and everything else in the original post applies.
hello! curious if you ever play ts4? i know you did awhile ago but just wondering about recently.
Hello! I did try giving ts4 a chance when it came out, I was actually almost as pumped as when the second one did? But everytime I played I couldn’t get over the feeling of I wish this was TS2, something I never got with 3? And I’m not really a fan of the cartoon graphics or WoWesque furniture textures and clunkiness, or how inescapable they are. Can’t make the flat feet, high crotches, no forehead and chipmunk cheeks work for me either. Plus I think playing it would require me to update my graphics driver to a version that crashes Bodyshop and TS2 by default, so no. Wouldn’t mind giving it another go if not for the last point, though. It looks like a fun one to make cc for.
Hi! I love your flipper skirt. Could you perhaps make some recolors without the high socks?
Hello! Short answer: No, I won’t, sorry.
Long answer: At the risk of sounding like a dick here, once again, the cc I make comes as-is. I make it for myself and my own game, and I make the sock and whatever design choices based on what I want. Once I’m satisfied with something and done with it, I have no interest in returning to it to make a million recolors or slight variations, it would be so gd boring and waste of time.
Another thing (making/sharing) CC is NOT to me: a service or a product I’m providing. The things I make are what they are and I share them if I think they’re good enough, because that’s the community way. This approach prevents me from burning out on creating, it doesn’t become a job and I don’t get people asking me to make them stuff. Everyone wins, probably
That said, anyone is welcome to make whatever kind of edits of my things and share them for free, with credit. I don’t hound anyone if a TOU consisting of those two items is too much of a challenge, I don’t have that kind of time, but I see and side-eye it.
For sockless Flipper skirts I can point you in the direction of my GoS FD gifts. The corduroy pants feature a version of the edited misomoso shoes without socks and an alpha to go with that. You can use those textures to make recolors of the skirts. Have fun!
