XKit was being cantankerous this morning, so replies are going to be kludge-y.  

RE: How to finish the deck

@mspoodle1, @ninjaofthepurplethings, @packagedblyss, @grandelama : Well, I think that answers it - “A” it is!  And now I’ve got more of the layout done.  Still needs a roof and some landscaping.  Hopefully there will be more pictures soon!

RE: Indulgent Bakery / Savvy Seller

@heavensims - Thanks for the tip on NRaas Cupcake.  I will look into that.  But that basically tells me what I suspected.

@murfeelee - It wasn’t so much whether I should buy them (I already have both sets). I was more trying to figure out if I wanted to work on a venue centered around those things or work on something else.  I ended up working on something else.

@nornites - It really sounds like (without mods) it only makes sense if you are actively playing a family that likes to bake.  If I mess around with any of it, I will report back.

RE: Pro Bars and setting their “shifts”

@wannabecatwriter - I might have to experiment sometime and rip out some mods and see if if the ability sticks. I swear I did not even know that was a thing!  I also didn’t know you could set properties on the barrier gates! :facepalm:

RE: Skull Bar and what to build above it

@nornities, @mspoodle1 - Thanks!  I really like how the decorating is coming out... but I’m still banging my head against the wall on... well... the walls. LOL

RE: Nectar Racks / nectar bottles

@mspoodle1 - thanks for the pointer!  If I ever get the floorplan of my skull bar sorted out, I will definitely need the info!

That's just an innovative way to work wood! Seriously, the number of "I'll come back to that later" type of projects for the same reasons. I feel for you.

So true! And if I leave them alone for even a few days it’s like my memory has been reset and I don’t even remember what I did, what stage I was on etc. and only a vague outline of the intended result, lol. Many a project were lost to this.

His face sums up exactly what you can expect from me.

LOOOL! XD I love these @packagedblyss

[studiok2sims]

I went and put dinner on to cook (braised rabbit in chocolate sauce over pasta). Cooking focuses me.  I’m calm.  Imma be okay.

hyperkaos replied to your post “I have number issues...”

I love you my loopy loki! lol

Yup.  That’s me. =)

packagedblyss replied to your post “I have number issues...”

Don't worry, I can definitely feel you! And as mspoodle said, we'll love anything you'll give us, in whatever numbers they come! ��

You will be getting exactly 48.  No more. No less.  No cuts, no additions.  Imma deal with it.  Now I just have to get through the pictures... I can do this.  *breeeeaaaath*

Wands, Hair and Danger...

Replies below the cut...

simtanicos reblogged your photo and added:

this is super cool, more realistic. the start to a harry potter-style AU??

Thanks!  Someone might, but not me probably.  A Nony planted the idea for doing witch/sorceress/occult type poses in my brain and apparently there is a distinct lack of wands in the simerverse, except the in-game functional objects.  I started converting them into accessories as-is but realized they are ridiculously over-sized.

“Okay, so this hair is ticking me off.  I didn’t realized it was borked...”

Well that sucks. I don't know anything about meshing hair. Probably a bone/joint assignment issue. Kinda like with tops and the waist or neck issue. idk maybe. :(

It’s actually stumping me a bit because the hair is just the mohawk bit, no scalp so it shouldn’t be deforming like that.  But I was looking at it and the original in game on another sim.. and damn if that defect was gone.  I am starting to think it’s the skin not the hair.  There just aren’t any skins that look ‘good’ on shaved/bald hairlines.  Which is really frustrating.  I’m starting to get distracted with thoughts of making/fixing one.... but gah!  NOOOOOO! too many languishing projects as it is,...

Tumblr was being a butt and not showing the above comments in my ‘activity’ list, so I had to screenshot them..

@wannabecatwriter - You a fan too??  I have got to get back on working on this crew!  But I have many more needs for realizing the full vision I have... SIGH  (right and it doesn’t help that I’m a slacker with the attention span of a gnat... cuz cowl-neck dresses, guns, eyebrows, beards.... in a perpetual state of WIP..)

@hyperkaos - Thanks my dear!  I’ve been out of the ‘danger zone’ far too long.

@packagedblyss - It’s a twisted little ‘adult’ cartoon series about (former) inept spies.  There is a wiki if you are interested.  I have most of the main characters in the works.  But a lack of necessary elements drove me to learn to make custom content.... but I’m painfully slow.

@packagedblyss - It’s actually a super-easy edit to do with sims cuz you can freeze them in the exact positions.  I took one shot with the whipped cream outfit. Then I had her change into the shorts outfit (without moving the camera), reposed her and took the second picture.  Stack the two pictures as layers. On the top layer, do a layer mask and mask out bits so the bottom picture shows through.

sweetdevil-sims replied to your post “World Adventures issue”

Do you have ellacharmed's world fixes? The WA worlds have a ton of bad routing spots, especially in China beyond the Dragon Springs, and on the bridge in Egypt.

You know, I thought I do.  But now I’m not 100 sure if I just GOT them or if I installed it.

murfeelee replied to your post “World Adventures issue”

Overwatch is the one that messes with resetting sims, so I'd check my setting on it to see if something is set to some weird schedule, purging the world too much. :\ DebugEnabler is harmless.

Right, i just meant it was reporting a cubic shit ton of errors, not that it was causing the resets.  I stated it all badly.  I believe the settings are nearly the default settings.  I don’t think I would have changed it to do it more than just once per night.  The resets happen constantly - including my own sim before he/she has even done anything but go into the home camp.   I will check the settings though, just in case they got borked.

packagedblyss replied to your post “mspoodle1 replied to your post: grumble grumble ...”

Yeah, you can make a Normal/Bump map using your Diffuse/Multiplier. I personally like using a program xNormal (http://www.xnormal.net/)...Because I can't make my plugin work for some reason, haha.

Hmm. I may take a look at that.  Do you have to swap the channels around when you do it that way like you have to with the NVidia one?
