Hi, thanks so much for all the Veilguard coverage you do! I was wondering if you knew if the devs have addressed how companion levels work if you have low approval with them? From what I've read so far, it sounds like companions might need to like you to get to higher levels.

hello! ◕‿◕ thanku for the nice ask message! there is this excerpt from an article from IGN:

""Building a relationship with companions has always been a staple of Dragon Age, but this time around, that relationship translates into how well you work together as a team," Busche tells IGN. "It is how you're actually going to level up your companions, by getting to know them better. That's how you're going to unlock skill points." [...] During our time with the game, IGN got to see some of this in action; unsurprisingly, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has an approval/disapproval system, with pop-up text on the side of the screen indicating whether or not a companion liked what Rook just did or said. But something new in this Dragon Age: even just completing a quest with a companion in your party increases your "bond" with them, whether they agree with how you handled things or not. Your relationship, Busche says, isn’t necessarily about "how much they like you, but how well you get to know them."" [source]

I hope this helps? ^^

Cup I thought you would like to know that there was little teaser trailer for the upcoming Dragon Age game that came out yesterday, that revealed part of the game is going to take place in the fictional city of... Treviso. There are a bunch of posts from baffled Italians in the Dragon Age tag wondering (1) why they didn't just invent a city name (2) whether they thought Italians wouldn't notice and (3) why Treviso? It's pretty funny.

lmao this is is hilarious did they really not have a single person on the dev team google treviso

or maybe this is part of a long con to explain that actually all of dragon age has always been set in italy but it was never mentioned before (I have never played a dragon age game)

Hi! I was wondering if you know a tutorial on how to convert clothing to accessory clothing, or a tutorial on how to make skintight accessory clothing? Hope you’re having a good day. :)

the easy way to do it is just change the outfit type to any other slot, and apply to all swatches**

this way you can change the outfit type to  gloves, rings, left ring, etc or whatever and your game will allow you to use that fake designation alongside another actual clothing top. but there’s a catch...

i’ll cut this bc it’s long!

**the catch: if you make an accessory top using the CLOTHING TOP space and pair it with another in-game top, you might get some overlap with the textures. it might be wise to make an alternate version that does not have texture in the clothing top accessory space. also you cannot have two CAS clothing items occupy the same “outfit type” (ie, if you made an accessory top and assigned it to the hat portion, your sim cannot wear a hat with that accessory top).

the explanation why: in sims 4, we have one uvmap to take care of all CAS items. it’s hell to be honest because you more or less have to tetris a bunch of textures into a very small map. think of a fully dressed sim? that sim has a hair texture space filled, a face filled, body, hat, glasses etc depending on what you put on them. you need to find an empty space to put that accessory top or outfit on them that will not overlap the other spaces.

the solution: what you CAN do is make your accessory use the bottom right green portion of the UV map (that green portion under the hands and purple portion on the right of the bottom is fair game) because...

the plan of action: try downloading some accessory tops and look at how their UV is laid out. from there you can see the best approach to your clothing accessory item. i also made this PSD so you can properly lay out your new uv texture.

it does take some trial and error but ONE of those slots will work. trust me, i have accessory tops that are sometimes gloves, sometimes a ring, sometimes a bracelet and sometimes glasses :-D

good luck and let me know how it worked out!

edit: ALSO @deetron-sims has a good tutorial that mentiosn the importance of an alpha channel (steps 22/23). you might need one to isolate your texture properly!
