List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥
Thanks for the ask! I love this game sm
since I'm getting back into his save I will answer for Kory Hartley:
his mother is a serial killer. his father is a former magic realm sage who got serial killed. love loses <3
when he was a teenager he was your honest to god typical nerd. then I thought "no...he shall be a himbo." and here we are today
his favourite music act is Twice, because he has taste
his save is me experimenting with Adult ModsTM for more or less the first time, so it's all pretty new to me. hence why my globetrotter is significantly spicier than all of my other content lol
I actually intended to play a legacy with him! technically, Penny; he was gen 2. I even finished playing his generation and got to the birth of his daughter. then the save went to corruption hell and I just wasn't attached enough to salvage it.
@crawling-on-rye- Thank you. I am actually working on some spreadsheets for my game play. I’ll upload them once I’ve finished them!
@cindysimblr- Thanks so much. It was actually building your ‘The City’ for Secret Santa which made me want to go a bit dark and grungy! Plus, I wanted to implement a bit of fantasy, which I haven’t done with my more accurate medieval ‘hoods. Glad you like it!
@anachronisims- It’s so nice to have you back in the community! I’ve missed you and you always make me feel so good about myself!
@lilleputtu- I’m not entirely sure! I’m not as familiar with the Elder Scrolls lore as other people I follow on Tumblr! I got my info from here, and it doesn’t really specify if the Green Pact is only for Valenwood... I plan to add in a Green Pact Bosmer in the future, and I’m sure he’ll cause drama for the Oakshades!
@sterina-sims- That’s good to hear! I just haven’t played enough since I’ve taken out inTeen and added in that mod set up. Like I said, the main function I want is miscarriage, so hopefully it works in my game!
@anachronisims- All of the pets in my game have actual names from Elder Scrolls Online. I just loved ‘Horker’!
Not a question, I just needed to let you know how much I adore Regan's new haircut. And her growth in general. She has come so far! Look at her go!
Ahh yes, it’s so cute! I’ve always wanted her to have short hair tbh, but then I noticed most of my female heirs (at the time when I was figuring out her adult appearance) had short hair haha. But I couldn’t resist in the end.
And yes, she’s come so far...I know I’m the one writing it, but it doesn’t feel like it, if that makes sense. It’s like she did it all on her own, not with my “writing help” or anything, and I’m just watching her and am incredibly proud. I like it when the characters make me feel that way.
@lilleputtu replied to your post “You know what would be neat? If the Classic Dance was a non-romantic...”
i remembered seeing a mod for that and i sure as heck remembered right: http://modthesims.info/d/606587/classic-dance-with-family-non-romantic-social.html
Oh my gosh, thank you! Non-autonomous platonic classic dancing! That’s so neat! It’s exactly what both my sleep-mad and my waking self wanted.
I did not expect to get such helpful responses about this or my whole road/terrain dilemma! Clearly I need to be more proactive about putting my Sim-related wants out there, because this community is rad.
lilleputtu replied to your photo “I think the high-res horse defaults I downloaded were worth it. :) ...”
i bet you can find custom manes that floofy... i would definitely love to see that anyways :D
Maybe! There are a bunch of elaborate horse-specific TS3 sites out there, where folks bred horses in game and then “sold” them via these sites and such. From what I’ve seen from dates on blog entries on such sites, it seems the craze for them seemed to have died around 2015, so I guess because of TS4? Of course, TS4 doesn’t have horses, so I don’t know why such folks abandoned TS3. I mean, the whole setup between those sites was (is?) pretty intense and impressive...
ANYWAY! I actually did look around and PharoahHound on MTS made a Gypsy Vanner breed template. It doesn’t have a mane down to its hocks and feathers up to its hocks and a tail that drags on the ground behind it, but maybe such CC exists out there....
cjvandever replied to your photo “It’s funny how the things I like to do in TS3 are things I hate to do...”
It’s a very handsome face, but what noticed first were the eyes! I never played TS3 much because I couldn’t make my sims look good, or more accurately, they way I wanted. Maybe I’ll try it again. ��
Sorry for replying on this sideblog; I actually meant to post the pic you replied to here rather than on my main Simblr. *eyeroll*. ANYHOO!
You definitely need a lot of stuff to de-pudding TS3 Sims! Like, better-looking skins and lots of custom sliders, for instance. (Fortunately, there are a million of the latter out there!) Even lighting mods help. And for eyes you definitely need some contacts. It's not like TS2 where you can drop in some defaults and/or a set of custom eyes and everyone has nice-looking eyes because -- at least so far as I've found -- default eyes for TS3 still don't look all that great. Like, I haven't found one with a sclera I like. They all seem to me too flat and white, with none of the details that I like. I’m guessing there are technical limitations involved. Defaults are better than the Maxis eyes, so I still use them, but not as good as I’d really like.
So, contacts are the way to go. Most of them that are recolorable have three or four color channels, one for the sclera of the eye and two (or three) for the iris, so you can blend colors in the iris to get some really nice realistic (or fantastical, if that's how you swing :) ) effects. I'm still figuring out how to get really good effects, but in general it's way more customizable than TS2. Of course, it's also more work on the player's part. Especially if you take it upon yourself to put contacts on everyone in a world. So, you know, pros and cons. :)
So, if you want to give TS3 a shot, the best contacts I've found are made by @simtanico here. I haven't tried out all of them, but I really like the "Herald" and "Nordstrom" ones. (I used the former on the Sim in the pic.) And you'll definitely want sliders for iris size, pupil size, and the various ones that affect the overall size of the eyeball and amount of sunkenness, etc.
For @wellofloneliness, @charlotkas-simblr, @lilleputtu, @princesspiratecat, and @niamh-sims...
wellofloneliness replied to your post “Will we see more jonesi bed blankets from you someday? I've been away...”
why couldn't you repository the curtians to the bedblanket??? why would it be different than anything else?
In order to repository something, the texture images have to be the same. I know that the texture image for the bed blanket is just a 512x512 square, but I don’t remember what the texture image for the curtains looks like. So, it may or may not be possible to repository them. I keep meaning to look, but it seems that whenever I have SimPE open, it just doesn’t cross my mind.
charlotkas-simblr replied to your photoset “Four random views of Dickerson Springs’s fishin’ hole. It’s placed...”
I'm in awe with these screens, I love it when nature in sims shown like this *-*
Спасибо большое! Sometimes, I make lots that mostly exist just to fill in space in the neighborhood. Often, in more “developed” neighborhoods, it’s parking lots, but also it can be nature-y lots like this one, whether or not they’re actually functional. It’s a way to have “neighborhood deco” that is in the same scale as the stuff on the “real” lots. (Because sometimes deco is waaaaay out of scale.) It takes more time than just setting down neighborhood deco, but sometimes the effect is worth it.
So, I tend to see fishing spots this way. Yes, they serve a purpose when playing the game -- sometimes a very important purpose, if the rule is that Sims have to live on what they can grow/catch! -- but they’re also nice scenery. You can load up the lot in build mode and take nice “scenery pics” of them without the low-res look of neighborhood deco.
lilleputtu replied to your post “I give to you replies! :D”
I actually use the sun&moon trees for earning my sims houses in edona's glade. I just happen to also count branches as "wood" units. my real bottleneck is the "stone" units :D
That’s true! I forget that you can harvest branches from mature trees anytime! :) Although I think if I did that, I’d have to make the number of branches that needed to be collected pretty high because otherwise, that makes things pretty easy. Depending on the number of mature trees on the lot, of course. IIRC, for fires, the Sim has to have 3 bunches of branches or one stack of firewood, so that might be a good ratio, I suppose.
princesspiratecat replied to your photoset “Four random views of Dickerson Springs’s fishin’ hole. It’s placed...”
This is like my hood's fishing spot, there is a tee-pee and camping gear. Lovely!
Yeah, this has the cabin-tent, a community-lot grill (so no fridges needed), a toilet bush, and a barrel shower lodged in a tree. So that pretty much takes care of the motives. It might not be the most comfortable lot in the world, but it won’t kill anyone if they stay there for a day or three. :) Since I use the Community Time mod, I do like to send Sims away on little in-neighborhood “vacations” sometimes. Especially if a huge household gets a little overwhelming. Sending one of the parents and half the brood off to go fishing or whatever for a couple of days is a nice little break for the player. :)
niamh-sims replied to your photo “And, for the hell of it, the eldest two of the founding couple’s kids....”
They are gorgeous!
Thanks! Though I can’t really take any credit for them. My game makes all of my Sims, including ones in CAS. I never touch Bodyshop, myself. I just default-replace all the CAS stuff and hit the “random” button a couple times until an acceptable-looking Sim appears, apply some face-kit “makeup” stuff, and that’s it. Born-in-games get a bit of face-kit stuff when they reach child-age. I can’t be bothered any farther than that, other than changing a hair style here and there. *laugh* I figure I can spend time on lots or on Sims but not both. Guess which one I choose? :)
taylors-simblr said: Yeah that’s an acr thing, adults can also make out with teens :S but I don’t really see that happening in my game, it only really happens between couples, except for one time I played Bluewater and Stephen Tinker brought a teen girl home with him from work? and then kept trying to make out with her all evening >_>
Stephen NO! XD Ah, that’s somewhat weird but also nice. I don’t mind my YA students smooching their 2 days younger teen boy/girlfriends, I just hope I won’t have any incidents like you had. I wonder why I never noticed that ACR could do this? Did all my couples end up going to college together?
moudschegiebchn said: iirc you can disable this somewhere. i could swear i turned that off
Really? Maybe I disabled it in the last game config?
Questions about Gadwin
lilleputtu said: you can set gadwin up to do resizing yes
suledinlavellan said: Gadwin does automatically resize. :)
Uh, that’s great news! Now I only have to find it!
suledinlavellan said: As for Tumblr - I believe dashboard images are 540x810. So anything larger than that? Not sure how it works haha. High-res on Tumblr is 1280x1920.
Thanks, I’ll look into it! I’m so tired of my pictures getting all blurry.
Hey mortia! I love love love how the Middling's (was that the name?) are looking! Could you tell me where you got those apartment doors? I am feeling mighty inspired to build my own apartments now, but the normal apartment door just... doesn't fit in the slightest. Thank you and have a nice day!
Hello and thank you!! The DR doors are by by Sunni and you can find them HERE!
