I re-uploaded some of Nilou’s sims at sfs and each folder should have a preview.

Thank you for the submission @shastakiss ♥

Hey guys! I was wondering if some of Nilou's stuff from her LJ was reuploaded somewhere, like her Love Motel or her sim Otaviano. Searching on the blog doesn't return anything. Thanks in advance. <3

Unfortunately according to the comments on both posts the love motel download link has been broken since 2016 and Ottaviano has been unavailable since 2013, archive.org also had neither of them. Does anybody have either of these (or their other files) lurking in their backups? Edit:

Ooh, that Love Motel is cute!

(link is in the comments and is: https://simfileshare.net/download/303558/ )

Shasta also uploaded Nilou’s other Sims in this post.

(I chose these pictures of the love motel since the others were really close ups of tiny details like the neon hearts on the wall or beds and I thought they’re pretty useless way to show off a lot)

I am feeling the same about art atm! there is so much I could and want to learn, and I really want to be serious about it! and (once again) good luck with your thesis, you can do that :)

Thank you! It's about time I finish this thing off.

Regarding art, I picked up some psychological things from the guys who made the videos, too. One thing is, of course, training your eyes and hand and building up a "visual library". As a beginner I should practise at least an hour every day. The other thing is also rather simple, but some people, including me, don't follow that advice: It's important to build up a comfort zone and then move out into related areas and add them to the comfort zone. E.g. you start with eyes and faces and then move on to hands, then to full figures and so on. I made the mistake wanting to learn too much at once. This lead to frustration as I - naturally - didn't succeed in anything.

aw, she is so pretty! (and also, thank youuuuu, i am so glad those eyes are still around) :3

I think she's pretty cute too. It's a shame that the game crashed before I got to save her. AND WHO ISN'T GLAD THAT THOSE WONDERFUL EYES WERE MADE AT ALL AKSJDKSJDKSJKD THEY'RE TOO ADORABLE NOT TO BE CONVERTED TO THIS GAME!

personally, I think all your retextures look amazing! I get how you are feeling though! if ts3 had bodyshop everything would be much easier!

Thank you! You're right about a TS3 bodyshop, but sometimes the mesh or rather the mapping is just a bitch. I still retexture TS2 hair for my personal use and yet sometimes I need more than one or two attempts at the texture to get it right. And even then some edits I just import thinking "It's a little bettar than total crap, but I'm not going to upload it anyway."
