Study reveals how SARS-CoV-2 triggers diabetes by destroying pancreatic cells

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have used a cutting-edge model system to uncover the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, induces new cases of diabetes, and worsens complications in people who already have it. The team found that viral exposure activates immune cells that in turn destroy beta (β) cells, the pancreatic cells that produce insulin. The study was published Sept. 2 in Cell Stem Cell.

Hello ! I'm kinda embarrassed to bother you with that, but can you explain how to install the custom post effects ? I don't get what the difference between the two versions is, and apart from pasting the cheats in the userstartupcheat and the two files in the downloads folder, I'm pretty sure there are things that can be done, but I don't understand the readme doc. Thank you and sorry for the bother <3

Don’t be embarrassed, it’s not really easy to use right out of the box. @esotheria-sims wrote up a great introduction to it HERE with some good additional links to read so that is a good place to start. 

AO stands for Ambient Occlusion and the purpose of using AO in 3D is to achieve the effect of darkening the edges of objects in a scene, especially in corners and where one object intersects another. It’s not an effect that happens in nature, but 3D artists use it often to fake depth and enhance shadows. There are two versions available with this mod: SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) and HBAO (Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion). Generally, SSAO is a less accurate but faster way of achieving the shadowed look, while HBAO is more natural and correct but might be a bit more stressful on your system. Pick which one you want to use but ONLY choose one. I’ve tried them both and prefer HBAO :) 

TLDR; SSAO = faster, not as real. HBAO = more realistic, but usually more intensive. 

You can find a comparison HERE. 

I don’t think you need to have anything in userstartupcheats for this one, the mod can be accessed by just typing “e” in the cheat box after entering the game.  Duh, sorry, I totally forgot that you needed to paste text into the userstartup file to make it work. Ignore that, rofl. 

There is more stuff you can do with it in SimPE to turn effects on or off, and I could have sworn that @esotheria-sims wrote about that too at some point…but I can add more about it sometime soon if I am totally wrong about that!

I tested the awesome post-effects-mod from pineapple5050, but it makes my game run terribly slow, so I won’t be able to play with it. edit: I will keep the water overhaul, if it’s seasons-compatible.

It’s a real shame, because it makes the game sooooo beautiful. :/

I’ve run into this issue when using @pineapple5050‘s Post Mod with armor in certain conditions. Anyone else come across this before and have a suggestion/solution that I can try? I’m pretty bummed. Is it because of the reflectivity? Weird thing is, it works fine in certain rooms...

And I have no idea why >.<

ETA: Ahh, disabling Depth of Field fixes it...but I love DoF...what to do? :*(

Fade Effect

This effect allows your photos to be faded! Once you hover over your photos they go to the original color and when you unhover they go back faded. This effect looks best for rosy blogs and personal blogs!  Copy+Paste this code above .entry or .post{  .entry img{ opacity:0.7; z-index:9999999; -o-transition-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; -moz-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; } Now, put this code under .enty:hover{ or .post:hover:{ .entry img:hover{ opacity:1; -o-transition-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; -moz-transition: all 0.9s ease-out; } Note: You can change how much or how much less you want your post to be faded! Credit to this coding goes to Fairielia! xx -Jamie

Glitter Effect

This glitter effect can be used on anything from tooltips, to hovers on tabs and post, sidebar hovers, pop ups.  Copy+paste this code where you want the effect:

You can google 'glitter gifs' and choose one you like best! xx -Jamie
