FOR REAL?! HOW?!!?!?

srsly speaking! i dunno why woohoo was removed from the game. it's not like the game wasn't afraid to be raunchy, and it's successor, TS2C, had woohoo in it.

there was also this object that is also scrapped from the game. it has animation and can even be interacted with. it appears in the prima guide even though it's not actually in the game. (i was only able to access it through debug cheats) makes me wonder why this, and woohoo was scrapped? especially when both seem to be near completion? (if the woohoo thing is true & you can reenable it)

marriage also might've been planned for the game, too. which it's kinda weird that marriage is not a thing in it? i feel it'd be kinda similar to how you can get an urb to "join your crew" and have the ability to switch over to them -- the only difference is that you're both in love & your married partner would follow you around.

my only guess as to why these were scrapped was because they were nearing a deadline, and even though these are near completion -- they weren't quite ready, and they just didn't have enough time before game release to fix them. urbz went through some development hell. (fun fact: it was supposed to have been released before The Sims 1 Console, and Bustin' Out)

anyway i gotta see if i can enable woohoo in the game... for reasons... :)

( the cuteST )

a bitch is Tired rn after pulling my usual shit, aka staying up until 5am for no reason only to wake up three hours later to watch bts run, so excuse the seeming lack of enthusiasm lkfdsjglk. hey i’m jules, i’m 20, canadian, and my current means of life rn are chocolate, the x files ( iM LATE IK SFGDJLK ) and 3am you in me listening parties with myself rip !! it’s been almost a month since its release, i need to Relax dammit. i’m a uni student who just got off for christmas break and in love with sowoo so you don’t wanna know the agony that came with picking one over the other without a bit of help. you can hmu on d*scord at HAPPY S*OKJIN DAY#2030 ( don’t.. call me out for not having an updated name since his birthday’s passed, i’m not v bright pls ) if you’d like and this is so boRING, it’s like the life is sucked out of me omg. anyways hyeran, a whole.. other positive muse bc jesus, how many of these do i have rn ?? this is so out of hand man, but nonetheless here’s a bit abt the brat:

- ̗̀ JEON SOMIN, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ̖́- – have you seen YUN HYERAN? people’ve said the TWENTY TWO year old has been running around the streets of jeju lately, which is odd because aren’t they a BARISTA/MUSIC PRODUCER during the day? anyways, i know they’re known to be EBULLIENT and TRANQUIL but recently i’ve heard they’ve been MAGNANIMOUS and DIFFIDENT, but i could be wrong. ( jules / 20 / gmt-3:30 / she/her )

EDIT: i somehow forgot to mention that she’s.. not sure where she is on the lgbt spectrum but she knows she’s Not Straight JFGDSLKJGK but she’s panromantic so yeah sgjkdl. i’m a whole mess today, i’m sorry lol

yun hyeran, a daegu native with an older and younger brother, an ambivert and an all around baby

tbh i don’t have much of her bg figured out, that’s always the last thing i get to so rip

buT she became involved in music through her father, who studied it in uni and ended up becoming a music instructor with a focus on piano, flute and vocals

her and her mom.. also her older brother, didn’t have the best relationship when she grew older, which seemed to die altogether when her parents divorced and her mom left. but her and her brother’s still exists, it’s just that he’s a bit of a toxic influence on her and she tends to distance herself from him

went to uni in seoul to pursue music like her father ( a daddy’s girl too like ) and found her way into the world of production !! by junior year, she’d transferred out of her original program and majored in that instead and has loved it ever since; she recently graduated

moved to jeju island bc an aunt lived there when she was young and she LOVED to visit, made a few friends there and would always whine abt the next time they could all go see her aunt again. so it made sense for her to live, at least for a little while, in one of her favourite places

she also adores said aunt, her dad’s sister and the maternal figure she Deserves, so she came partially to see her more often

for the time being, she works full-time as a barista at the café just a block from her cute little studio apartment while looking into internships at record labels for her to take on a little further down the line ( no rush bc it’s already quite competitive and she’d rather enjoy what she has going now )

she’s also making something of an income as the creator of an acct on youtube and soundcloud for her music, something she’s had for abt two years now

she’s not even close to making it big yet, and she doesn’t mind if she never works for a moderately to highly popular label — though she should if she wants to get by

among the aesthetic, lo-fi music crowd ( one of those yt accts with a livestream for certain playlists that go on for hours, rip ) where for the most part, it’s personal faves mixed with her own works, and has a substantial following as of now. but has an interest in experimenting, with mashups ( as a lover of them ?? i couldn’t help myself sgflkdsjg ) for example, with a small fear of how that change would be received

this is so short iK, it’s a little infuriating if you ask me ljkgdfjls

in terms of her personality and other things:

she’s a very loyal person, v e r y. while like i said, her relationship with her brother is Not Great, she hasn’t completely given up on him. maybe for the time being, but her being someone who’s open to the idea of people changing for the better somewhere down the line, leaves a bit of room for her to possibly change her mind if he does enough to allow her to consider it

so she can be a bit of a doormat in some cases, it all depends on how she sees the person that determines if that’s the case, but she generally won’t let you off if you’re being dumb/an ass to someone or if she gets advantageous vibes from you for example ( given she can.. be a little naive and is a p gentle soul ) so.. idk fgklsj good luck to the 99% ig ??

she does have a slight dependency on others despite her thinking all signs point to the opposite, and even though her and her mom never rly had a good relationship she still reels from the neglect/abandonment some days so handle her with Care if she deems you a close pal, 

spontaneous tbh, moving to jeju was a little last minute on her part, for one

she’s a little reclusive when focused on something, if she tells you she’s working on a track, it’s essentially a head’s up that you might not see her for a couple of days depending on how soon she gets it done — lowkey that bitch™ who makes up an illness to her boss, so she wouldn’t even show up for work if it’s more than just her fucking around

bc admittedly, a lot of what she posts is fucking around and liking it, her more thought-out and effort packed projects are hidden away on her laptop

a bit insecure with her work and just her general disposition ?? those first few points above mess with her a lot and leave her disheartened so.. my poor child

v strong overall, takes people’s shit and if it gets to her, she gets over it p fast. doesn’t dwell on much and will be courteous to you even if she’s declared you too toxic to stick around 24/7

isn’t exactly one to get angry ?? she’s basically just disappointed or annoyed at best 99% of the time, it takes a lot to get her beyond that

positive, ugh. maybe not sickeningly sweet, but still. kinda explained parts of it above and i’m 95% gone mentally rn, gotta spare that for other little details gsjklf

a cute bean who wants the best for everyone and is also clumsy as absolute fuCK

uhhh

plays piano and bass guitar ( you don’t know how tempted i was to say clarinet bc of jiwoo gjflkgds )

prob had some kind of little amateur rock band with a few music majors and took up bass for the hell of it lmao

loves animals, leans towards cats or big dogs. corgis and those little spaniels get a pass tho

speaking of, she has a cute little calico kitten ( i’m shit with pet names so that’s tba rgkjls ) who she Loves, her baby !!

sweater, ball cap and basic t shirt junkie

those glasses somin’s been wearing a lot of lately ?? hyeran wears them too but.. actually needs them, not even close to a fashion statement

doesn’t don much makeup unless someone’s dragging her to a party or something

thaT’S when she looks a little more like a classy early twenties bitch.. which lbr, is hard enough when adulthood is a whole Train Wreck for the most part LGFJSDL

not a heavy drinker, but the textbook definition of a lightweight so.. she’s always praying for anyone who has to deal with her dgfjklsfg

lattes are her livelihood

a bit of a hopeless romantic, god help her

her favourite subject in school was literature/writing and reads quite a bit on her breaks at the café

favourite music genres.. it’s easier to say what she doesn’t like/finds boring, which is prob country and some aspects of edm/pop, not into punk/metal either

these are super basic but.. i’ve gotta get myself together for the day so this’ll do for now i hope ??

so if you’d like to plot, im me here or on d*scord ! i prefer the latter personally, but whichever’s easiest for you. i have a list of a few of the specific wcs i have in mind ( for the time being, catch my lazy ass avoid listing all the basic ones and revising a few i have on an old blog ) for hyeran up now, which you can find here, so just lmk if any of them appeal to you !!

[hyunwoo-archive]

gif god Amira, how do you gif live performances??? They're so clear :0)

mMMM LMAO IM NOT A GIF GOD SINCE I STILL HAVE SO MUCH 2 LEARN BUT IM STILL SMILING A LOT GJAKDJA thats rly cute im v appreciative  … :^) anyways !!! since i use a mac, i had 2 come up w my own process on how to gif live performances since avisynth ? too Slow 4 my old mac and stuff like topaz is too …. me, staring into the sun: maybe not …

buT ANYWAYS hgjsh under the cut is basically how i gif my live performances, i use

a mac

ps cc 17 (i think this will work on other versions ??? im not sure :( )

vlc player (i have version 2.2.2)

ts files of the performance (u need ts files otherwise the quality looks :/ even if it’s a 720p mp4 file,, also dont take performances from youtube u’ll end up w a walmart lookin gif when u want gucci gifs)

okay so first u need to get ts files of your performance and i get mine from _helloflora on twitter or from kpopexciting! since i … only ever gif mx i’m gonna be giffing mx again 4 this and i’ll be giffing shownu as an example from the 170507 performance of beautiful.

so first, load up ur ts file into vlc player and Basically what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna clip the video and get the part that we want !!! i would recommend starting a few seconds before the scene u actually want bc vlc is dumb like that …..

so get ur lil clip (mine is in the movies folder on my laptop bc … idk . it put it there and idk how 2 change it so i just keep it there)

make sure ur vlc is still open bc now u need to convert this little clip into an m4v file so ps can . load it … and basically what u do is u go into file > convert/stream or shift + cmd + s to open up the window. then drag ur clip into the window and on “choose profile” click customize and make sure ‘mp4/mov’ is selected. on the video codec tab, make sure u have ‘h.264′ selected then click apply and close the window and open it again just so u know it’s saved. then click ‘save as file’, save it where ever u want (i have a handy folder called ‘caps’ where i keep all my converted clips) and let it convert. the indicator that it’s converting is the play bar (streaming bar?? the bar)

^ that thing. so you let it convert (dont touch anything i learned this the hard way) and once it’s done, load it into ps! 

i use the video import way so just go to file > import > video files to layers and select your converted clip, then drag the arrows to the clip you want giffed. this part is mostly trial and error to get what you want but i would recommend taking your time with finding the start of the clip and the end of it, also don’t make the space in between ur arrows too big bc then u get too many layers and that for me really slows down my mac :(

(also i literally . broke my own rule abt layers bc i messed up my recording of the clip and i was too lazy 2 do it again but CONTINUING !!!) now u have ur clip opened in ps!! i usually use around 50-60 frames so it doesn’t exceed tumblr’s 3mb limit, but also it depends on the size of your gif. the bigger the gif, the less layers you want. i’m making this test gif 268 x 270px (which is my go to sizing for gifs that i want side by side)

now what you wanna do is go to the little 3 lined bar thing on the timeline

click that and select “select all frames”, then click the timing (the 0.03 numbers) and change it to 0.05! then while all your frames are still selected, click the 3 bar thing and select “flatten frames into layers”. you’ll get two sets of layers now, one titled with “layer 1″ and the other titled with “frame 1″. delete all the layers called “layers”

this is where i crop my gif !! my crop settings are at 268 x 280px, and once it’s cropped i go to image > canvas size and resize the height to 270px. then click the “convert to timeline mode” in the 3 bar menu or as the little icon next to the “forever” setting.

(my timing settings are still at 0,03 bc i was getting ahead of myself jahgkds) but ! u should have this 

now so what u wanna do is select all ur layers/frames (i’m gonna call them layers so we’re not confused w the frames in the timeline) and right click and convert them to smart object! now we’re gonna sharpen them, and i used sharpening actions from @k-psds! i would recommend downloading a couple and just experimenting with which one you like best!

once you’ve applied your action, here comes the coloring part!! i never use psds because each gif usually needs a different way of coloring, but i do have a basic process for performance gifs. i use curves, levels, a tiny bit of brightness (either going down or up depending on the performance) and selective coloring with black, neutral and sometimes red (and depending on the performance, i’ll look into using the other colors)

this is what my layers look like

and this is the process of the gif from unsharpened + uncolored to sharpened to sharpened and colored

and that’s basically !!! how i gif performance videos !!!! it seems a little time consuming at first but the more you do it, the easier it becomes :D

SOME TIPS & TRICKS I LEARNED

when giffing performance videos, always go for close ups and clips where they’re not moving so much. it makes cropping so much easier and your gif doesn’t look as grainy

avoid flashing lights !!! it brings down the quality of the gif

use as little adjustment layers as u can! using so many makes the gif grainy (how many times have i said this) and you rly just wanna focus on making the gif bright enough 2 be pretty but not so bright u have idols looking like 2% milk

in selective coloring w the black tab, i usually bring it up to abt +15 or +10. idk why i do it tho someone told me in a tutorial and it’s been part of my process ever since.... makes the gif look nice tho so im not complaining

lastly !!! do a lot of messing around in photoshop !!! u might make a walmart looking gif but in no time ur gonna be making some nice Gucci gifs !!

if u have any questions feel free 2 send them my way and i’ll do my best 2 answer bc i know this tutorial was a Mess .... but i Tried :’)
