thank u my love (even though technically i must thank myself for being in your notes ksjfhaksjfa) lets see
you! just vibing with you (and trico) but also having big discussions or making up more ways for our ocs to fuck sdjkfhdskjfs or playing games u know. anything is good. but esp starting my morning and ending my day w u i think
going for a walk in the forest. bonus when i can take some pretty pictures and/or see water
seeing birds in front of my window! or birds anywhere. squirrels and bunnies and mice and kitties are also all very good to see
when theres harmonies in the vocals and they hit just right
finding content of my niche interests on tumblr (rare)
🍧🍭 for the couples ask meme! i'd like to know more about lyra and jude, but feel free to pick any couple(s)
omg tysm!!! 🥹 will definetly answer for lyra / jude!
🍧do they share common hobbies?
a lot! they both love gaming, that's probably the main hobby they share, but both of them are pretty nerdy so they like the same types of tv shows & movies as well, they also enjoying hanging out like getting coffee together or going for walks, they're neighbors so they often do that 🥰
🍭what's a fact about them that could have people raising an eyebrow upon hearing?
going to do this for each of them!
lyra - people usually raise an eyebrow when she tells them she's even dating jude mostly because he's so loud and she's so quiet 🧍🏼♂️
jude - jude has a lot of surprising facts about him, but in relation to lyra people are probably surprised he wanted to date her... as he has a bit of a reputation and she's not his usual 'type' 💀 (at least from an outsiders perspective)!
as a unit people probably raise an eyebrow at how much they have risked their lives :)
hello! i am once again bothering you for sage advice. do you have any tips/guide on installing reshade for ts2 on linux (i am running fedora 40) that you can point to?
Yes! Under the cut:
Download your preferred version of ReShade, I personally just used the newest one.
In Lutris, click on Sims 2 and then at the bottom there should be a button that looks like a wine glass. Click on the arrow next to that wine glass, select "Install EXE inside wine prefix" and navigate to the ReShade installer that you just downloaded.
In the ReShade installer, select "DirectX9" - NOT Vulkan! Then continue the installer as normal.
Once the installer is done, go to the installation folder of Mansion and Garden stuff (Fun with Pets > SP9 > TSBin). There should now be a file named "d3d9.dll". Rename it to "d3d9.asi" and move it into the mods folder. Move the "reshade-shaders" folder into the mods folder as well. If you want to install presets, put them into this mods folder too.
Back in Lutris, click on the arrow next to the wine glass again and this time, select "Winetricks". A new window should open. Click "install an application". A list will appear. Do not change anything in that list, simply click on "ok".
Another window will appear where you select "Install a Windows DLL or component". Then, tick the following six boxes: d3dx9, msls31, d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47, dotnet40 and dotnet48. Click "ok". You might get a few warnings/errors, which is normal, simply click "ok" on all of them. Once it's done, close the winetricks window.
Start your game. You should now see the ReShade overlay. In the ReShade settings, set the correct path for your texture and shader folders.
Optional (if you want to use depth buffers):
Make sure that your global preprocessor settings are set to this:
The game should now recognize depth buffers, but that doesn't automatically mean that MXAO and DOF effects will work properly. So, go into a family and test if these effects work (depending on your ReShade version you might have to download those first). If they still don't work properly, you have to close the game, open your Graphics Rules.sgr and search for "Print System info". Above that, there should be a bunch of ##### and above that, add the line "setb supportsDirtyRect false". Should look like this:
