Been a while, but I am back for real now!
In a nutshell: I graduated from uni, went on a long holiday, started looking for a job, found one, and have been at it for almost a months now. It has been quite an exhausting period for me, but things are finally starting to fall into a rhythm again.
Which means I get some time for simming again now and then! I installed @pictureamoebe’s Cool Summer preset for Reshade 3. It is a remake of my favourite Clear Summer preset but, because it is Reshade 3, I can finally have DoF. Yay! The above screenshot is completely uneditted, just resized. I already love this preset, even though it is a little cooler than the original. I might end up tweaking it at some point to see if I like it better with some more saturation.
For my first day back in the game, I started to remake Inverness today (because, sadly, I somehow lost it). The exterior and landscaping is all done, next up is the interior. Because I do not want to spent my days looking for suitable CC, I decided to go without it as long as it is not resulting in lackluster builds. So far so good, I did like the CC thatched roof texture better than the Maxis one, but oh well. I still quite love this build because it is an old bathhouse refurbished twice, to allow for a residential function. The three different extension to the bathhouse allow me to play with the exterior styles, which I love doing.
Now, if everything goes well with my job and I don’t return to the zombie I used to be when I came home, I might finally be able to make some headway towards building my world and starting my new story over the coming weeks.
