penig replied to your photoset “I can’t remember which downtown lot this is (Lulu’s maybe? PURE?) but...”
It's Midnight Flows. It needs a photoboth and some instruments. Also not good for large groups, though you could add more seating if you're willing to give up some dance floor.
Ah, thank you! I haven’t visited the Downtown lots in ages.
penig replied to your photoset “Nothing like a good family outing downtown where the teens can where...”
I have a lovely default for that vest, but only for adults. I want one for teens.
Poor teens. I do think they’re the most overlooked age group...well, either them or elders. But at least teens have a fairly good selection of clothes in the vanilla game. Elders...not so much!
olivesims replied to your post “C, I, and Z! ��”
I think I would describe my MM style as "muted" colors. I also never jumped on the bright everything bandwagon, though I do really enjoy seeing other people with super colorful games. Thanks for answering. :)
Yes, I saw your answer to that question too, and I think that’s a great way of putting it. :)
trulykristansims replied to your photo “I don’t even know what he’s doing, but I just really like this odd...”
I wonder if he's "scolding" a baby with a dirty diaper? Quite the mystery!
That would make sense too...except that had no babies! So mysterious! :D
Oh yes, absolutely! But not in a cheaty way…if that makes any sense. :P Building and decorating cheats probably go without saying (and moveobjects to save poor stuck Sims!), and I use familyfunds sometimes to make families poorer. I can’t even remember the last time I used motherlode!
I: What is your sim-inspiration; any styles you like to create?
Ack, I was afraid I would get asked this one! It’s so hard to pinpoint exactly where inspiration comes from in a bustling community where we all feed off each other. I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen a picture of someone else’s game and though “Ooh, that’s really cool!” and instantly want to try it myself. But I do know that one of the first Sims blogs/sites/other that really inspired me was @meetmetotheriver‘s LJ because I discovered the community back when a more realistic style was the in-thing and hers was the first I found that really embraced that Maxis-match style that I liked (and had little choice but to play because my old computer couldn’t handle much CC) and she played the premades just like me! So through her I discovered a lot more other Maxis-match journals and stalked them for a long time until I finally worked up the courage to join in.
As for creating styles…I don’t really know what else to call my style other than Maxis match…though maybe a bit more mellow/darker than a lot of MM-ers. (That is, not so many bright colours, though I don’t mind them.) I really like more classic/traditional styles in building and decorating, though I’ve experimented with modern stuff as well. Gee, this is a really broad question! I’ll end it there before it gets too long. Oops, too late.
Z: How many GB/MB of CC do you have? Is your mods folder organized?
It’s at 6.24 GB right now, which is bigger than I’d like, but I’m definitely not in the mood for cleaning it out right now! It doesn’t feel like I have that much stuff in there either…
And yes, my entire Downloads folder is painstakingly organized. Though it’s been organized for years now, so it really isn’t that painful to keep it up. ^_^ I like to be able to find things easily, in case I ever want to pull something, or replace if an updated version comes in.
Yay, I got about 10 hours of sleep in two “shifts.” ‘Bout time. :P Unfortunately, now my sleep schedule is whacked since I woke up at 4:30AM. But hopefully I’ll get back on track over the next few days.
Anyway, replies for @littleblondesim, @olivesims, @holleyberry, @penig, and @simblrcorner...
littleblondesim replied to your post “The usual replies. :)”
Your post lead me to noeatcrap, too. I agree completely with you that it has too much extra stuff. Same as Fuzzy said, I'm interested. :)
Yeah, Pescado’s mods are like that. He has very specific ideas about how the game should run. Which is fine because we all do, and all our ideas are a little different from each other. (Mine happens to be waaaaaaaay different than Pescado’s. :) ) I just wish he had separate mods for each bit of what noeatcrap does, so that we could pick and choose the bits we want. But, since he doesn’t....I’m going to take a look at it today. If I can’t make head or tails of it (which is likely, as I’m a very beginner when it comes to understanding BHAVs), I’ll be putting in a request with a Simmer-friend who doesn’t do Tumblr but who DOES do BHAVs. I’m sure she can wrangle it, when she has a bit of time, and I’ll share what she comes up with if she doesn’t do so herself.
olivesims replied to your photoset “In which iCad disguises edges of the world successfully and...”
Some of the sky dome things have distant terrain at the bottom of them and I think it helps.
O RLY???? I’ll have to hunt some down, see if they’ll work as needed... Thanks for the tip!
holleyberry replied to your post “fuzzyspork replied to your post:The usual replies. :)Re: washing...”
Where can I find this nobathroomdishes mod?
If you haven’t already found it for yourself, it (and all of Pescado’s mods) is here on this alphabetical list: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/al/hacks/ (That’s assuming you have AL, which I’m pretty sure you have. :) )
penig replied to your photoset “In which iCad disguises edges of the world successfully and...”
Could you pile some upside down clouds there, for fog?
Well. you can’t place cloud boxes upside-down, but they can be placed underwater, where the terrain is lowest. Perhaps I can finagle it so that the clouds generate and sit just on top of the water. Only problem is my game doesn’t seem to like me modifying the terrain at the edges of the world; it tends to crash. But if I can’t find the sky globes olivesims mentioned or if they don’t work as I’d want, I might give that a try, yes. Thanks for the idea. :)

As for sims not washing their hands after going...
Sorry, replying to a reblog addition cuts off most of what you said. :) For readers: simblrcorner pointed out that Sims washing their hands after using the toilet replenishes the bit of hygiene loss they get from using a toilet. Which is true. So, yeah, it’s not entirely useless, but for me...Well, my Sims tend to live scheduled lives. They shower/bathe every day either when they get up or before they go to bed and this gets them through a normal day without needing to bathe again (Unless they’ve done something like going jogging or visiting the gym, after which they need a shower, but that’s to be expected), no matter how many times they use the toilet. So...Yeah, still not seeing a need for my Sims to wash their hands. I do like realism in my game, yes, but I’m also pragmatic about things. If something doesn’t have a tangible purpose like increasing skills or markedly replenishing a motive or maintaining relationships or improving their crafting or something really useful like that, then I’d rather my Sims be doing something that DOES do one of those things. :) Hand-washing just doesn’t qualify, for my purposes.

Awesome! Thank you! :)

Cuteness!! Thanks so much!
I’m glad you both like these :3
nyshabrokeit replied to your post “hiya! where do you find patterns for your cc? i know a lot of simblrs...”
It's definitely better to use ColourLovers and BackgroundLabs since they expressly allow reuse of their stuff for non-commercial purposes; Spoonflower's stuff is all rights reserved so it's illegal to use, though no-one really cares. (Whenever a site doesn't say "You can use this stuff!" it is all rights reserved, whether or not there's a copyright notice on the website)
Oh, that’s good to know! I’ll use patterns from these sites from now!

Sending millions of hugs to you! ♥♥♥♥
And I'm sending a lot of them to you in exchange :3
