MAXIS LOST & FOUND
BV MOUNTAIN TREE CLUMP AND OLDGROWTH PINES (SEASONS ENABLED)Maxis made the snowy textures for mountain pines in the Bon Voyage game files, but don’t use it because there are no resourses of seasoned scenegraph. But I fix that and now you can see the snowy forest instead of the ugly green in the deep winter.
Compatible with any default replacement of the texture (for example, this).
UPD 06/06/17 all useless resourses are removed
UPD 28/12/20 disappearing trunks have been fixed by @jellymeduza
UPD 19/12/21 missed material package are restored, please redownload

DISAPPEARING TRUNKS BUG - FIXED!
Well, it was high time to posted that info a long time ago, but my simming activity been kinda frozen last years, you know…
Once upon a time simmers around the world faced the weird bug with BV oldgrowth pines - some of them are missing bark after leaving neigbourhood deco mode while the very useful cheat ‘boolProp dontMergeNHFlora false” was activated. Detailed descriptions of the trouble can be founded in this thread, or in this one.
Some time ago wonderful @jellymeduza managed to fix that issue, and edited my default replacement. Meduza kindly sent edited files to me, so I updated the link… but i’m confused about my own files and messed it up. So, one of the essential files had been lost until now. Probably it could have confused someone. My bad. Now the correct version of the fixed fix have been restored. You can take it from the bold download button in the main post.
All credits goes to @jellymeduza
To compensate the sluggishness, I’m preparing a gift for all expecting a high quality default replacement for the ugly screws:
Keep for updates

♡ I wasn’t expecting that when I returned to my blog after being unexpectedly pulled away from it that I would have over 2000 followers already! That’s amazing, and it makes me very happy that I can help spread loving posts to (hopefully) make somebody’s day brighter.♡
♡While I am still busy (college, I’m sure most of you know the drill), I will be more dedicated to make posts from now on. On top of that, I would like to remind everyone that I do allow people to send in asks, either to gush about their loved ones, ask for advice, or simply let those loving, unspoken thoughts fly free.♡
♡Thank you all for supporting James and I! ♡
~Mini update on me~
Having so many ideas for stories is great, but having to actually go ahead and write it is… *shivers* not so great. But it’s even worse when you try to write a bit in the library at university . I’m always scared someone will read what I’m writing behind my back :’)
Anyways, I’m still on hiatus, but I’m slowly writing a bit here and there, just to take my mind off things. I’m still not sure when I’ll be fully back, but I do feel a bit better. JUST A TINY BIT! Aside from that, my inbox is flooded so I’m sorry if I’m not answering some of your asks! But do know that I have read them, and you guys are really the best for sending in some of the sweetest of messages I really do mean it, that I appreciate each one of y'all for sending in support/encouragement!
Oh and btw! I will start to block anyone who I find out is underaged. My stories are mainly nsfw, thus it should be +18. I haven’t done this in the past, because I felt it would be too difficult, but I really don’t want to be associating my blog, which has nsfw works, with minors. I’m sorry if this upsets you, but it makes me uncomfortable with having a minor reading my stuff.
Thank you!!
Updates!!
I’ve been blocking some rude anon messages in my inbox, and it’s been making me so giddy lol. Like I feel an evil smile forming on my face… Anyways, I’m glad to say that I’ll be posting my new story sometime this weekend! (I’ll let you know before I drop it). Just to give you guys a little hint, its Taehyung x Reader centric, but also with a bit of Jimin x Reader. It’s a ghost/demon au! I think you guys will really enjoy it~
And since I’m still getting messages about it , for the last time, forgotten is undecided if there’ll be a second part, and milk will have a part 2, I just don’t know when!! :“)
Nonetheless, imma just clear my inbox, and if you really wanted me to answer something, please feel free to send it again! And thank you for all the sweet encouraging messages telling me to take my time, y'all are literally the MVP’s
*ANOTHER UPDATE!*
I said this, with the idea that I would be able to continue writing and edit my draft for the story, but I haven’t been able to do that!! For the past week, my mother has been crashing my room, since hers is under construction. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE 4 DAYS AGO T.T So obviously I haven’t been able to write with her in the room… that’s just a big no! So I’m gonna have to reschedule to post sometime in the weekday. I’ll my best to get it out by Tuesday or Wednesday, but I can’t guarantee since I’m not sure if the construction will be done by then Thank you for the patience! I’ll keep you guys updated on the progress!

We are excited to bring you a flip-through of Problem Child, a zine focused on Dadzawa and Izukuson!
Good Afternoon!
Thank you all for your patience since pre orders closed! A lot has been occurring behind the scenes, including a large move from the production mod that left them without access to a computer for a significant amount of time. Now that things have settled on that end, things have begun picking up speed again. Zines and paper products have been ordered, some of which have also arrived already.
To send us off on an exciting note, here is a picture of postcards which arrived not too long ago:
@buffycuddlespigs@otherearthsoutthere - I’ve missed you guys, too! I’m happy I could post some art and contribute to this lovely, lovely fandom again. I’ve literally had no time for fandom recently, which is a shame, but not a total lose because I’ve been busy doing a lot IRL.
Besides things at my work still going 100mph, I’ve been volunteering a lot more recently. I saw a premier screening of Sorry To Bother You a few months ago and heard the director, Boots Riley, and Danny Glover talk about how words really weren’t enough - that showing up and action are really what brings about change, and it really inspired me to get out more and support organizations working to bring some peace back to America. That, along with several friends of mine (unfortunately) being sexual assault survivors and being so disheartened by the Kavanaugh appointment (myself included), it just brought about this feeling of “either I sit here and let it burn, or I get up and help.”
So, I’ve been doing what I can to get people out to vote and supporting sexual assault survivors, as well as people who are recovering from addiction with the opioid crisis still going strong.
My mantra in life continues to be - “They can pry my kindness from my cold, dead hands!”
That being said, I have been meaning to take a break and have some “me time” back in fandom because it warms my heart and I miss it.
TL;DR - I missed you and hope everyone is doing well and hope to be back into it sometime this winter. xoxo
Thank you all for your support!! Profits made from sales of leftover zine bundles and misprinted copies (online and at Sydney’s Smashcon 2019) were compiled (after paypal and shipment fees) and donated to the AMCS. The specific “Stop ADANI” page has closed, so it was donated to this general reef campaign: https://www.marineconservation.org.au/actions/donate-great-barrier-reef/
That’s $280 on top of the $955 we made from initial sales! Woah!!
As a reminder: All (non-misprinted) physical merchandise from this project have sold out and there will not be any reruns. I will continue having the misprinted copies up for non-profit sale until they run out.
Because of my lifestyle, I have not been able to keep up with messages for this blog (especially over tumblr DMs – those are especially unreliable for contacting me because I don’t get notifications for them), I apologise. If you have any queries, please email me at my personal address: [email protected]
[Image caption: Screencaps of the AMCS’s thank-you page, a thank-you email and 2 receipts. The first receipt is for $280 donated on the date of 16/07/2019 and the second is for $955 donated on the date of 10/10/2018]

(Just in case anyone’s wondering: the reason leftover sales are being hosted on @qtt-art ‘s online store is to save on shopfront hosting expenses!)
Here are the results for the chosen charity poll and total amount of money raised for it! $955 was raised for the Australian Marine Conservation Society!
Thank you all so much for your patience with regard to this long running project. It was a bumpy road, with misprints and minor delays, but we did it!!
I’m forever grateful to have worked with such amazing creators and to have witnessed such an unexpectedly wonderful amount of support for Devilstew.
The AMCS donation page can be found here (if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can find record of our donation there under my name “Quynh Truong” – I would’ve liked to have it credited under “Devilstew: A Dorohedoro Fanzine Collaboration″ but there was no option for an alternative title that wasn’t the same name used for my postal address, sadly.)
We did it!! Thank you so much everyone!!
Spare zines, zine merchandise and discounted misprinted zine sales will commence around December-January. A second chosen charity poll will run then to decide where that profit goes! (There will be no further reprints of any zines or zine merchandise after this.)

Thank you so much guys! When Gumroad forwards me the last of the profit earned from it I’ll send proceeds towards our chosen charity! Please forgive me if I’m slow about replies not related to shipping orders, I’m prioritising already-made zine purchases and real life obligations right now.
Have a good one, everyone!
Thank you so much for everyone’s patience! All customer purchases have been mailed *(save for one package that I was asked to hold onto until September.) May everyone’s items arrive swiftly and safely! Australian packages should arrive within 1-2 weeks and international packages should arrive within 4-6 weeks (although Canada-bound packages may take longer to arrive – I’m speaking from experience but have no idea why that is so.)
On top of that, I’m 30% through with participant bundles as we speak! n_n
Have a lovely day everyone!
All zine-only and postcard pack purchases have been mailed!
Next up are the Full Feast and Participant bundles.
Hi guys! The reprints are here and they look much better than the misprinted first batch, thank goodness.
I just sent off all the zine-only orders! Next will be the postcard packs before the full feast bundles. Please bear with me a little while longer as I’m the only one packaging and mailing everything at the moment.
As a token of appreciation for everyone’s patience, thank-you items have been included in every preordered package (a bookmark, mini-print or extra stickers depending on what you bought).
Have a lovely day!
Also, here’s a reminder that digital sales are still ongoing until September for anyone who missed out on the physical preorders! There’s a high chance that I’ll also be selling the misprinted books at a deeply discounted price next to the regular spares as it would be wasteful to throw them all away. Only 3 of 52 pages of the misprinted books have a production error so if that doesn’t bother you, look out for that in the future!
Zine proofs are here!! Everything looks good – just need to do a few tweaks before it’s ready for shipping.
The cover is laminated with a matte finish and feels nice to touch n_n@collaborators
I’ll be emailing all our collaborators with their own digital copies of the zine after their physical copies have been shipped out. Let me know via email if you’d like your copy early and I’ll send it to you next I’m free n_n)9 (I do this in case people would rather open their books without spoilers.)
(Reminder to give me your updated address through the form on the zine brief if you haven’t already so I can get your bundle to you.)
Thank you so much for everyone’s patience with the printing and mailing process – because of certain printing service issues (there were several failed attempts at communication with my initial choice of printing service, a missing parcel and many, many misprints…) much time went into changing printing services and waiting for deliveries.
The first photo: The printing service I’m currently with sent me a (unfortunately very blurry, sorry!) photo of the test print that’s on its way to me for inspection. Some colour edits might have to be made to the cover and inner pages before finalisation, but we’ll see. (I promise I’ll have a better photo of the cover when I physically have the samples, haha.)
The next two photos: These are photos of the sticker sheet (that one has yet to be kisscut) + postcards. Bok/marrickan@tumblr has been a MASSIVE help with the overall process and is currently handling the sticker kiss-cutting for me.
Many apologies for the wait, we hope to get mailing as soon as possible! More updates to come.

This is a late announcement but – preorders are closed now! Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support, it cannot be more appreciated.
I’m currently in the process of obtaining and readying everything for shipment – postcards and stickers are making their way from their printers. Hopefully some preview photos will be uploaded soon!
Big apologies about the delay of digital copy sales, because of life circumstances it has been put on hold but I hope to finish setting that up as soon as possible.
