Vagabond Simmer

Hi I'm Lia and I've been playing the sims since sims 2 game out.

WIP#105

Hey everyone!

I'm back again. It doesn't look much but I've worked a lot on the playhouse itself and it's still isn't finished fully. I did the texture for the inside walls and I made a lightmap so when it's dark it automatically lights up.

I also added the rugs inside which is "built in" the object. I originally wanted them to be separate but for some weird reason when I'm trying to place rugs inside, the intersecting part cuts out and basically disappears. So I included the rugs in the playhouse object. Their texture is of course nowhere near done.

At this point, I needed a little break from the playhouse, so I decided to work on the first furniture piece for the interior: a bench made from pallets and wooden planks. It tiles nicely when you use quarter-tile placement, and I designed the next item the same way. It'll be a small activity table with the same footprint, so you can mix and match the pieces and furnish the back of the playhouse however you like. The front is left open since that's where the kids play and sleep.

I really hope I can fit in everything I have planned! The playhouse itself is taking so much time to finish and get working properly. I'm constantly hopping in and out of the game to test something, quitting to make another tweak, and then launching it all over again. But I'm excited to see it come together with all the other objects I have planned.

Sulani townie makeover in my style

After some weeks of writing, I am sharing my second legacy challenge! This one is made for the casual player, someone who likes slow gameplay that reads more like a story.

I find that I have the most fun in the small, slice of life moments in the game. The half finished cup of coffee on the table, reading a book on the porch, catching up with an old friend at the park. The Cards We’re Dealt legacy challenge asks you to face scenarios as the person who isn’t extraordinary. Who doesn’t reach the high highs of careers or maximize skills. The most important part about life isn’t always your highest achievement, but how you adapt in the face of adversity.

This legacy is meant to read/play like an early 00s sitcom - I had a very specific vision for every heir. This won't be for everyone and that's okay! But I love it sm and I hope you enjoy it too.

Check it out here

(oh btw there's no aspirations for each gen, that's on purpose. pick whatever you'd like)

Me and my unavoidable need to use Zerbu's Venue Changes to put a high school in every world I play in: Ondarion edition (It's a renovation of La Vivace because our Sims obviously have enough nightclubs)

Improvising.

world building has become so much better

this is an early wip but i wanted to finally try building with my modifications of the world. and this is way better than the nightmare it was with the initial EA layout. the biggest relief was finally being able to create my own layout, with my own roads and sidewalks.

as you might have noticed, the world's texture is completely made of concrete. it will be totally possible to create an NYC-style neigbourhood for example (or any kind of city). i think that when it is published, it may come in 3 versions: grass, concrete, and a combination of both. so you'll really be able to create any kind of world. except, naturally, a water-based world.

There's a new spot in town, folks are saying Asian fusion? Foxglove has never seen the likes of it before but it's quickly becoming all the rage.

hi!! figured i'd ask - would you allow conversions of your work to paralives?

i know you mentioned planning on doing it yourself on the side, but i was wondering if you'd be ok if myself/others did sets as well in the meantime :0? with credit ofcourse

Absolutely! I've kinda given up on it for the moment because of the technical limitations that the game has regarding textures. (flat, sad) But feel free to make your own conversions!

[surely-sims]

WITH CREDIT PLEASE!!

My TOU is very open, all I ask is don't try to pass off my work as your own!

it's been a minute! 🤍 the family took a trip to granite falls where they celebrated robin and ariel's birthdays! i don't think the kids were overly stoked about spending a holiday in the middle of nowhere, but it was nice to get a break from ranch chores for once! 🔥⛺🌲🌙🎒🌳

Getting the vibe right

I'm back in New Wales and I've been enamored with the feel of Chinatown in NY and its surrounding areas, like Little Italy. I think I found the vibe I want for this place.

Asset selection is really limited because CL was kinda all over the place but will have to do. Maybe I haven't been looking in the right places but I haven't found many CC decor either (signs, lanterns, etc.)

Of course I have my CC to populate the area as well, it still requires some refining and I know it's just a bunch of recolors but I'm so happy with how they look in-game.

I have been tinkering with the background a bit again, now that there's more and more deco buildings (thank you @yibssims for the heads up) it's time to go all out I think, but I still can't manage to have the bridge show up again even if I do a Selective Clone in S4S. Maybe I'm dumb and I'm missing something obvious.

One of the changes is with the big factory with this sign that reminds me of that one converted factory in Boroughsburg. I want it so bad to be the icon of the neighborhood but it's just a little bit large wherever it almost fits.

Also, there's a lot of open, awkward space that I'll have to figure out what to do with. But I think the vibe is getting closer to the real thing. I just need to place even more stuff. There're also some B&H factories that I'll be making into piers you can see in the corner.

Video by Ethan Barber on Instagram, I love his stuff

I think this is gonna be the final lineup along what I called Minuit Square, I'll be TOOLing more stuff on the plaza like the tulips I've been lining about and covering that fence that I think may be built into the aream, from afar it looks alright but I think it doesn't have a proper texture, B&H have all its fences as Live Edit objects and one of them looks kinda like the New York City Parks fence so I'll overlap them and hope it looks alright lol.

See you again in NWC!
