I was downloading your stuff, which is beautiful btw, however I could not successfully download the kitchen clutter on this link: linacherie and the Mushroom plant on think link: linacherie.
They are the cutest and I am hoping to have them in my game :) Thank you for sharing your creations. Us CC addicts really appreciate it.
Hi Cora! I dont know what happened there but I've updated the dl-links! Thanks for letting me know and sorry for the inconvinience! 💜🥹
You seem like a really organized player. Are there any tips and tricks you can share? How do you stay so clean and organized with your gaming? Especially with a game that allows us to have so much CC. how do you decide what to use and what not to use?
Hey friend!
I think the biggest thing that has help me be more organized with cc is that I try to avoid downloading random one-off things from random creators. If I see something I like from a creator I've never seen before instead of just downloading the one thing I'll see what else they have and if I can't get more things from them I'll just let it go...unless it's super awesome or obviously in the case of a newbie creator if they don't have other stuff. But I would rather have lots of things from a few creators instead of a few things from lots of creators, if that makes sense. This is also why I avoid downloading sims or houses with cc because I don't want to have random things. Something like having one singular recolor of a shirt or one singular eyeshadow swatch in my catalog sounds like a nightmare to me, for example. If I ever do find a sim/house with cc I really really want I'd have to go download all of it myself and install the sim/house without it ticked in clean installer.
Other than that I'm not sure I do anything particularly groundbreaking. I used to merge my ts2 cc but stopped because it makes it harder to delete things when I don't want them anymore and it didn't make a massive enough performance difference the way merging does with ts3. I sort by both category and creator, and I keep everything inside it's own folder so it's always easy to find for wcifs or to delete later. Might not be the best way because it's a lot of folders but it's what works for me and my brain. For the times I don't have a lot from a creator of a certain category those will go in a _Misc folder, like shown here, but as I said I try and limit that.
(they're called AccessoriesSim because I have all the pet accessories from DeeDee separate)
I don't have any type of limit on overall amount of cc. Anytime I've tried to limit I would go over or feel like I didn't have enough of something so I just don't. I don't care about having things repo or not personally, but I do try and pay attention to polycount (in ts2, not ts3) It also helps to keep new downloads separate for a few play sessions so I can decide if it was an impulse download or something I actually want. That'll look something like this.
For ts3 I do things mostly the same except I do merge, but it's still by both category and creator. And I follow my same rule of always visiting a creator's page to download multiple things from them as opposed to random individual things.
(_MISSING is for things I can't find anymore so would I ever need to redownload I couldn't)
I think that pretty much covers it, but feel free to poke at me more if there's something else you're curious about!
Hello! To one of the great sims creators that thankfully have been around forever. I was looking at your page and saw the Miss Lucille download, however there is no file attached to the download link. Would you happen to still have her around? She is beautiful just the way you made her. If not, it's cool I just thought, I would ask. I would love to have her in my old town.
Hey!
Bayoubash is the one who shared our Miss Lucille. This post should have a working download link.
I have a silly qiestion. I would like to recolor the sign on this post and I noticed that the Dxt is a 9 count. I want to know if it is necesarry to have so many sizes for a sign like this or of I can get away with just 512x128, I think is the next size from 1024x256. I want it to still look nice without a lot of texture wear. I know with smaller objects its not such a big deal, but what about a larger one like this 6-tile sign?
Hi Casey! You mean that there are 9 mipmaps, right? How many mipmaps there are doesn't affect much on how the recolor looks.
Mipmaps are used to lower the texture quality when you zoom out. The amount of them is standard, I don't think it causes harm to have less of them but I doubt there's any benefit of doing that, either.
If there aren't mipmaps, it doesn't mean that the texture quality won't lower when you zoom out. It just means that your GPU will process the resolution drop in real time. I'm under the impression that when mipmaps are used, your CPU will do the heavy lifting instead.
This answer isn't probably useful at all lol, but TL;DR: you can either keep the mipmaps or delete them. I personally keep them since while the file size is smaller without them, the actual memory usage in the game is not and that's what matters to me.
I am not sure if you have answered this ask already. I was just wondering which body hair mod you use. I wasn't into giving my sims body hair, but it looks so cool in your game I want to try it out. Thank you and thanks for sharing your awesome gameplay pictures and downloads.
Hello! I haven't answered this before, no. But I never mind answering things more than once.
The body hair I use in my game is here, the Inky-Fish Male Bodyhair Overlays link. It looks like a crate and is in misc>misc. I experience a little lag when I apply it like when sims tan/burn but I love it and can't imagine not having it (but I like hairier men irl so 🤭)
I would actually like to have more body hair options but it's just never been a priority for me to search if others exist and I've had that in my game for ages. Maybe something I'll do tomorrow 🤔
