ok lots of pictures! the wips are never-ending but at least this round is actual game testing:
i noticed nolan-sims’ mocked mulberry sweater had already been converted by megamassikalove, but i.. also did that :S they’re quite different though so maybe there’s room for both. i mean. these are all done (tf-ef) so i should hope so
the skinny jeans w stompy boots have been a wip for years, at this point i think i might be having performance anxiety because the sketch is so nice. booties, man
i didn’t do anything about the bones of that sentate conversion yet, but there’s work to be done. less than i thought but a lot
oh and these discover uni mom jeans (high waist denim) i don’t think have been done before, but i did do now. need to fix some bone assignments on the inner thighs but they’re otherwise ready to go for tf-af
finally my baby, the dina dress. i got the back planned out just right, all i need to do now is paint the rest of the fucking cat
picture 1: going back and forth how i want the dina special 2022 cut – seams? how to do the open back? so it’ll be a while longer still!
picture 2: gotta go through the bones a couple of times still, but jsyk this sentate number is my favorite one, this recolor especially. might go back to bigger puff at the shoulders! also need to pick shoes so this one’s a longer ways away.
i have previews mostly done for some other, more vesper’s end appropriate clothes, just need to make a post hrrrr
i hope no one’s keeping tally of all the wips i’ve shown through the years and then never finished enough to share sigh
it’s a work in progress dress again though! for dina! and more importantly we have new sentate pumps (sentatexrusty vivier to be exact!) converted and shaped and remapped to fit sims 2 feet! so we can have more options than the handful we’ve had so far AND space for toes and heels WHAt
Re: lookbook challenge on a separate post: TS2 seems more likely, i still prefer my TS4 just for playing and not picture taking. I’m also currently pretty bored with young beautiful sims, and if as predicted i have no self-restraint and end up making prompt-appropriate cc, i think i’ll go with an elder. They don’t have that much cc in my game aside from age conversions.
My favorite old people are definitely Olive and Ichabod, but choosing between them is hard. So both? One gets odd days and the other even?
blegh whatever’s going on with this reshade preset is mucking up the texture quality in game, illegal
anyway: my favorite trousers texture i’ve made recycled + ts3store pantucket pat moccasins genuine yeti fur are finally done for af and tf, but y’all want them for elders, y/n?
there are a bunch of winter shoes i’ve been editing and putting on meshes on the dl but it always feels a little funny to upload them on the brink of spring
Just trying to get a sense whether I want reshade in my game or no and if so, what flavor. not into it for gameplay, i like the crisp classic look i’ve got going? but pictures: NICE. idk yet how to mask ui and pop ups out of it?
Not an actual tutorial, I don’t feel comfortable this sort of low effort thing linked permanently anywhere, ok? I mutter, laugh at myself, don’t edit, make mistakes, and didn’t finish the subs. Premium content.
Anyway this is how far I got today editing a mesh for @goatskickin and documenting it at the same time.
Catnip thought her plan of getting even with her ex-boyfriend/ex-boss was simple enough to be foolproof: seduce some dumb muscle to help her, employ violence, secure the bag, ditch the muscle, change scenery to somewhere tropical.
None of it went how it should have. Hector is the only one who knows where the money is hidden, and because of a few miscalculations on her part, is now suspicious enough that he won’t tell her.
But Catnip knows her power. They’re safe for the moment. She can afford to be patient.
The Novembers joined the team at the last minute. Hector’s resume, featuring an impressive list of accomplishments, was a direct answer to the crew’s needs related to rebuilding the town. Although Gideon wanted to check the newlywed couple’s too good to be true references, he was promptly voted down due to lack of time. They were racing against the first snow as it was.
It’s been another 84 years good grief, so might as well go over the basics when it comes to my uploads! Everything’s been compressorized, textures reimported in to reduce pixelation, morphs included, and other ages are repositoried to adults to save space and headache (mine). Let me know if something’s wrong so I can get defensive about it and then maybe fix it.
I’ll probably sooner or later revisit the mesh conversions I’ve made if I spot lumps or bad bones or any other eyesores and update the files as I do.
Ok ready!
umfb ichabodcoat 12/20:
It’s just a classic full body outfit from a few years back I made for Ichabod because I couldn’t be bothered to make the coat into a separate top at the time. I’m pretty sure I never posted it before though!
The coat’s something from the game I always wanted to use and edit, so now it’s been used and edited a little and there’s a new collar texture on it.
Just the two color options because that’s all I needed.
Polycount: 2270/1714
Available for adults and enabled for elders, has only fat morph because it was mainly intended for elders.
Credits: Pyxis for inspo, Fanseelamb for lots of the parts
Here’s a Bodyshop swatch of the colors on teens. They’re named pretentiously (but in a cool way) so just go through the adult files to check what you want and what you don’t. Teens and elders are repositoried to those, as mentioned above.
Polycount: 2470/1753
Available as everyday/outerwear, ages teen to elder
Back when I first discovered you could and should utilize the normal maps from Sims 4 in recolors to liven them up I experimented how to best do it. I don’t know if these first recolors were it, but they have existed since so might as well share!
Awhile back I did some stuff for Bobsterosa, and these cardigan recolors came about on the side. Amaryll’s good old cardigan recolored for teens and adults, categorized as everyday
So these boots were originally a TS3 Store item for kids, called Pantucket Pat Moccasins. Then Rukisims converted them for adults and I guess got rid of the bow on the texture? And then maybe chocolatesims converted them for the SIms 2. And some time ago I finally made some edits to the mesh, and combined them with the slacks I made uhh four years ago?
Four recolors as seen on elders in bodyshop, ages teen to elder, categorized as everyday/outerwear
Polycount: 1715/1612
Oh man yeah I promised a useful recolor psd to go along with these! Here, catch! Genuine Yeti Fur from Yeti Salon floors!
I think these were converted by someone else already but I can’t find them right now. But again, these come in colors a bit (if not exactly a lot) different to the original Sims 4 ones, and certainly not all of them.
The mesh shape goes along my Anatomy V2 body. More or less. Hard to find a balance between TS2 blockiness and TS4 gummy limbs. In progress!
Five recolors, ages teen to adult, categorized as everyday
Shoes are edited H&M sneakers (to be a bit more dynamic than just a flat sole) with misomoso’s textures
ok ok if the animation of those pants works in game as well as it does in milkshape, we’ll have an upload post tonight including them and some other stuff
landslide from fixing inner thigh bone assignments to doing over the entire pelvis area and experimenting a little and it failing a little and now i got to go through the groin a third time sigh
