Rammstein in Berlin, 16.07.2023

My second Berlin-concert this year - and my very last one of the tour!! I have to say, I was a bit sad on one hand that I won't see them again this year, but on the other hand it was also a relief. Attending Rammstein concerts is always quite stressfull, thrilling and exhausting for me. Of course I could come into the stadium totally relaxed about an hour before the show starts - but that's not how my brain works, not with this band and especially not if I have tickets for Feuerzone, which could also mean "first row" - you just have to work hard for it ^^

I thought, I would be at the stadium a bit later than the day before, because saturday was very exhausting...but again, my brain... Woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep, so why lying around longer... I was at the stadium at about 9 am, just 30 min later than saturday XD The waiting wasn't as pleasant as yesterday. The security decided to narrow down the amount of gates where they let people in, so it got very crowded already at 10:30 am -.- Getting into the stadium was easier and worked better though, I was with the first 50 people entering - which is absolutely crazy! A split second before the running began I thought "OMG, it is possible! 1st row is possible!!"

I ran like crazy the last 50-80m and DAMN, I MADE IT! Fucking first row, in their hometown Berlin, on my last concert - and right in front of Paul!!! This was such a gift for me, a huge reward and I couldn't believe it - I was so happy!! I also let the security take a picture of me with my phone, but I'm not comfortable with showing my face online, so - enjoy the view I had :D

Time in the stadium went by incredibly fast, I had a lovely lady named Kim next to me, time flew by with her. I enjoyed the fantastic atmosphere in this beautiful stadium one last time, heart balloons and laolas, it was soooo cool!

The show was so good, all technical aspects worked well this time. I decided to not take many pictures (just of my favourite situation during Mein Herz brennt :D) and just enjoy the show to the fullest. I rocked so much, headbanged, jumped, screamed and totally destroyed my voice - worth it :D It was so cute to see Schneider, Paul and Richard running around Flakes Keyboards during Mein Teil - how Schneider hurried to join them! :D It's just so heartwarming to see them having fun on stage <3 The fire during Sonne was even hotter in the first row and the last blast of fire was definitely too hot, ouch :D I got sprayed with water from Till's bottle (refreshing on one hand, eeww on the other :D) and another time he threw the bottle in my direction and it landed 1 m in front of Kim and me on the floor. Kim and me were just staring at it (both obviously no Till fans - my reaction would have been completely different if that was a drumstick XD). A security picked it up and threw it in the crowd behind us - good :D

Sadly I didn't see that Paulchard-Kiss on the Engel stage with my own eyes, just later on tumblr - but that was incredibly sweet <3 Again I could touch and help carry the boats, even got a glimpse of Schneider and Till during leaving the boat! Paul caught a heart balloon and pressed it to his chest until it popped :) In the end, he also made sure a fan got a pair of Schneiders drumsticks - he's such a lovely human being!

The show ended with a big bang, as always - and I felt pure happyness! Again, no stickers for the first row - I was SOOO lucky to get one during my 1st time 1st row in Bern!! :)

So yeah, that was the tour for me - startet out quite mellow and emotional in Munich (1x), was absolutely wonderful in Bern (2x) and got an absolutely perfect finish in Berlin (2x)! I always managed to get 1st or 2nd row, which is mindblowing for me - but it was earned the hard way :)

I also caught THE bug during my time in Berlin (or maybe on the train home, that's also the reason this review is so late), luckily it broke out when I was back home. BUT: Absolutely no regrets, would do it again!

Thank you Rammstein and also a BIG thanks to al the amazing fans I met - the solidarity and helpfulness among the hardcore fans was incredible! Sharing sunscreen/blankets/umbrellas, giving out ice cream and food, sharing information...that was truly overwhelming. Best fans ever <3 Thank you!!

Oooh my goodness, I can't... This is too sweet <3 So funy to see how Paul is always too late with his movements (turns to the wrong side, misses Richards hand XD).

In the first GIF Richard looks so happy and content, like he's saying "look, he's mine!" :D

And I'm not going to start talking about Pauls hand in the second GIF.... <3

After flirty texting, H came home. I was really happy to see him again. It was wonderful to be close to him again. He took me out to lunch. I would have liked to see him more but chores then got in the way. We have organised a holiday so I can at least look forward to that. It will be a hot weather beach holiday which is my favourite kind.

This evening I rediscovered an old song my dad used to play. Too scared to listen to it yet because afraid of big emotional reactions when I've just put on expensive face cream etc.

In lightly related news my skin looks great recently. I think it might be post ovulation glow.

Depressed myself a bit looking at houses online, it's all so pricey and I worry about being lumped with a mortgage that we struggle under. I wonder if we should just stay put and make do, I don't know...

Berlin Sunday 16.07.2023

This time seated and not FZ (I missed it, it's quite addicting)

I met up with a wonderful friend, that made the concert very special <3

► 4t3 - Island Living - Mermaid Stuff - DF & non-DF

Alright, so...this is not as much a conversion as it is a mash up (a.k.a. Frankenmesh). Here’s what I mean by that:

- Meshes: I took the tails from TS3 and combined them with the fins from TS4 (because the S4 tails have a different UV and in order to fit TS3 they would’ve needed to be re-UV-mapped);

- Textures: a combination of TS3 and TS4 textures -TS3 for tails and TS4 for fins (only because the S4 textures look horrendous in TS3, at least the ones for tails do).

PLEASE READ the details I listed under CREATOR NOTES bellow !!! 

Details:

Original meshes by EA/Maxis, I just put them together;

Ages: Teen to Elder, both genders;

All LODs & Morphs;

Disabled for random (for non-defaults);

Custom normal maps included;

Custom thumbnails for both Launcher and CAS (though the game might ignore them and generate normal thumbnails instead;

Format: package files;

Programs: S4Studio, Blender, Milkshape, Photoshop, MeshToolKit, TSRW, S3PE.

!!! The Sims 3 Island Paradise required (for everything except the male tops, those are base game).

What does this upload contain? (so glad you asked!)

2 mermaid tails named Fin One and Fin Two (DF & non-DF) from TS4;

2 female tops - non-DF - these were made by me because of -again- questionable textures n TS4 that don’t match TS3 art-style;

1 male top (converted from TS4 <-> non-DF because by design the male mermaids in TS3 don’t have a default mermaid top);

1 (pair of) stockings - DF M & F (made by me; will replace the “markings” your mermaid sims have on their legs while on land).

EDIT: On a anon's request,  I added a NON-DF version for the accessory scales. It's base game compatible, has 3 presets with 3 recolorable channels and is available for both genders from teen to elder.

Edit 16.07.2023: uploaded the male kelp top as accessory as requested by @dezailes2cochon. 

!!! FOR Default Replacements install only ONE OF EACH !!!

Polycounts:

Tails AF: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.6k)

Tails AM: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.1k)

Tails TF: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.6k)

Tails TM: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.1k)

Tails EF: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.5k)

Tails EM: Fin One - 1.9k; Fin Two - 1.7k (original - 1.1k)

Tops: same polycount as the original TS3 items (they’re just painted on the base mesh)

! The reason why I listed the polycounts like this is because it’s up to you to decide whether you’re comfortable using:

the default-replacements (and have all the mermaid sims in town use these items); or 

the non-default-replacements (in which case only your sims will use them as long as you’ve changed them in CAS). 

Specific Details (for non-defaults):

Tops, bottoms and accessories sections;

Presets: 

Tails: 5 presets; 4 recolorable channels

Tops Female: 5 presets each, 4 recolorable channels

Top male: 3 presets; 3 recolorable channels

Mermaid Stockings: 5 presets; 3 recolorable channels

Categories: Everyday, Sleepwear, Swimwear, 

Available for Maternity (female versions).

———————————————

!!! Attn !!! -> The default replacement tails and female tops use only the first preset because I haven’t found a way to integrate additional maps (UVs, in this case) to a default replacement. 

———————————————

Creator Notes:

Here’s where it gets interesting!

If you decide on using the DFs - INSTALL ONLY ONE OF EACH!!!!!!!

And to give you an example, here’s how I’m using the default replacements: Fin One for females (the DF files for TF, AF& EF), Fin Two for males (the DF files for TM, AM & EM), stockings for both genders (DF female & DF male).

As I said above the DF files have only the first preset. The non-DF have 5 presets, each with their own individual UV. Meaning I’ve made patterns out of the UVs to better emulate the patterns on the S4 tails. See bellow the difference in UVs and how they control the channels. It’s applicable to both tails and female tops. This is the only advantage of using the non-DFs in my opinion. But you can have both DFs (only one of each!!!) & non-DFs in your game at the same time and maybe use one of the patterns in the non-DF for that one “special” mermaid.

The stockings aren’t the best aligned to the UV, I’ll admit it. But any misalignments (only along the seams) can only be noticed if you look closely.

This appears to be a common issue when installing default-replacements (you’ll know this if you have DF hairs in your game). Upon loading the DFs for the first time you might encounter a texture issue where you can see the new mesh, but the texture has not loaded properly. Like in this example:

To fix it, you either take the sim in CAS with Nraas MC - Stylist (you don’t need to change anything, just get them in and out of CAS) and/or -if that doesn’t work- go ahead and save, quit and reload the game. This should fix the issues. 

For NON-DF tails it’s mandatory that you use invisible feet This is what I’m using: 1 or 2 (find the null feet files inside the download). But keep in mind that because of the way the package was constructed, Dashboard might display them as corrupted. That’s because of the age categories being all in one file and not separated. Haven’t caused issues in my game so far and I've been using them since December. Anyway, the important thing is you need invisible feet for NON-DFs.

Let me know if you encounter any issues or need some further clarification.
