"There was nothing like playing with Hollander this way, nothing like the shocked innocent look he got when Ilya teased him, when Ilya prodded at the edges of his want."

Thanks for tagging me, @queen-tashie! :D

Here's an excerpt from Like Snow on Hungry Graves:

Hariye had never seen a sea serpent so close. It came at Elamirja's whistle; a mottled grey shadow that writhed and coiled out of the trench below the palace. Elamirja stepped out of the air bubble into the water. He held out his hand and the sea serpent bumped its snout against it like a horse would. Its eyes, all four pairs of them, were small and placed along the side of its head, with one pair in the middle of its forehead. The trail of spines running down its neck and back were pale grey, the scales along its sides were greenish-grey, and its underbelly was dark green. At the side of its neck were seven long, thin gill-slits. The water tugged at Elamirja's hair and clothes. Without looking round, he waved for Hariye to come closer.

Open tag! :D

I’m not musically inclined in any way, shape or form

but I’m writing a song because it’s an integral part of a fanfic I’m writing

and since I don’t know how to compose or play any instrument, there’s no melody but I have, in my head, imagined one that’s mostly stolen from existing songs

and I’m like yes, this could absolutely be a radio hit

probably not tbh, but I think my point is that I’m having fun and trying new things

yay me

Making things transparent was surprisingly easy.

It had always bugged me how all these alpha bits were always opaque in SY's conversions. I tried to do it before but somehow never could. I found a tutorial now, it has like 4 steps. It isn't perfect (this is a Cities XL model ported to Cities:Skylines and then to TS4 so the textures are compressed to hell) but it's sooo much better than having a square ruining the model.

Also I turned Latin characters into Simlish. (Back when I first tried, like 2 years ago)

I'm back in S4S slimming down my CC folder so it doesn't take 30 mins to load a neigborhood lol. SY has some massively unoptimized models I'm really considering throwing out, but then I'll have nothing to place instead.

(Some may be easier than others though)

This one may take me forever.
