Maroon project: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupé
The 1952 Porsche 356 Coupe, now available from a European collection, is a rare find for classic car enthusiasts. The seller states that the body and paintwork are completed, and the car is ready for reassembly. While the car is said to be complete, it is currently disassembled, and prospective buyers should approach this project with careful consideration. Though the seller’s description is…

What are you most proud of in regards to your art?
Hmmm.... good question!
Honestly, I'd probably say how many different styles/mediums I can work in. I haven't showcased a ton of variety on this account, but I actually bounce around quite a bit with my art. Oil painting, clay sculpture, pen and ink, cut paper collages, digital... I like testing out a lot of different stuff!
#if I ever get around to properly documenting my sticky note project from last year it's over for y'all#356 drawings of Storm. one for each day of the year. in all sorts of mediums and styles#I need to bind em together into a proper book like I was planning...#anyway sorry for answering this ask so late. thank you for sending it in!#storm chats

DIY Main Menu -- How to customize it!
Hi howdy! This is the Tumblr mirror of a tutorial posted to my Patreon. The contents are the same, so choose whichever you prefer for reading!
What you'll need for this tutorial:
The DIY main menu .package, found in the main posting
FFDEC / JPEXS decompiler
Photopea (or an offline image editor that can do the same)
Sims 4 Studio
Let's get started!
Preparation 1: Create your images using the size templates provided!
Here they are! They can also be found on Patreon (for free, of course)
Preparation 2: Resize your images using photopea, and save as .png
Open each of your images in photopea (or editor of choice), and squish the canvas into a square!
The main menu background should be 1600x1600 pixels! The sidebar should be 1000x1000 pixels!
Do not try to make them larger for 'more detail', they will break!
Step 1: Open [sdm] DIY mainmenu in Sims 4 Studio
Self explanatory, open it by double-clicking, or by clicking the 'my projects' button and navigating to the file.
Step 2: Export the first item in the warehouse
It should be a Scale Form GFX type! Right click, and select 'export'. Name this something you'll remember, and save it in a folder you'll come back to!
Step 3: Rename the exported file so it has the extension 'swf'
Self explanatory! Windows will may warn you that it may make the file unusable, but you can ignore this!
Step 4: Open FFDEC/JPEXS, and open the now .swf file
Step 5: Expand the 'images' hierarchy, and scroll all the way down until you find the images labeled 354 and 356!
These images are the main background and the sidebar background respectively.
Step 6: Right click and replace ONLY images 354 and 356 with the images you prepared earlier
Remember, the main background (354) MUST BE 1600x1600 pixels, and the sidebar (356) MUST BE 1000x1000 pixels!
Step 7: 'Save as' a new .gfx or .swf file
The filetype here doesn't matter! You can also just save over, but I like keeping backups.
Step 8: Re-import over the original in Sims 4 Studio
Right-click the same item in the .package's warehouse that you exported earlier, but this time, click 'import'.
Select the .gfx/.swf you saved earlier!
Step 9: Save the .package file, and rename it if you intend on distributing
You can rename the .package file just how you would any other file! Try and include your creator's handle in it, so it the edit can be traced back to you.
Step 10: Test and enjoy!
While I'd like to think this tutorial is pretty straightforwards, please let me know if you have any questions :D

Wolfstar Microfic - Harvest
Words: 356
@wolfstar microfic
🌙✨🌙✨🌙
“The fuck is a harvest festival anyway? I’m not harvesting anything. I don’t know anyone who’s ever harvested anything.”
Remus looked up from his crossword. “You’re forgetting the time we tried to grow weed in greenhouse three in sixth year.”
“That could never be considered a harvest.” Sirius shook his head. “That was possibly the most disappointed I’ve ever been.”
Remus raised an eyebrow before going back to his crossword. “Apparently there’s a short service in the church and everyone takes in food like pasta and soup to be distributed to food banks. I could do without the church shit, but the rest seems like a decent idea.”
“I’ve never been in a church before,” Sirius said quietly. “Do you think I’ll be ok?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not going to burn or melt or whatever?” He looked genuinely worried and Remus put the paper down. “Y’know. Gay.”
“I think you’re thinking of vampires sweetheart,” He smiled. “If I’m alright in there, you’ll be fine too.”
“You sure?”
“Absolutely.” He opened his arms and Sirius slipped into them immediately. “I wish we didn’t have to, but Teddy’s excited about singing a bunch of songs about plants apparently.”
“There’s going to be kids singing?” Sirius buried his face in Remus’ chest. “Ugh. Why does he even go to a school with a church?”
“Because we all decided it was the best school, despite the church link. It’s pretty much just in name only at this point. They made little clay tea-light holders for Diwali last week.”
“Yeah, only in name until we have to go to fucking church,” Sirius muttered. “Four queer heathens just rocking up to support our kid. The vicar will love that.”
“I doubt she’ll even notice.” Remus rolled his eyes, “We’re going. For Teddy.”
“Well of course we are.” He said quickly, “I’m just going to whinge to you about it until it’s done.”
“I know you are,” He smiled.
“Hey, a werewolf, a metamorphagus, a reformed convict and a guy with six pet dragons walk into a church.” Sirius grinned, “There must be a joke in that somewhere."
"You've got four days to figure it out. I believe in you."

The ORX-005 Gaplant
With more incursions on Earth itself by Zeon remnant factions and other militant groups, the Federation sought a solution to the issue of MS mobility under gravity. While any mobile suit could make use of a sub-flight unit - such as the Dodai or Base Jabber - they were generally unreliable in combat situations, with rapid maneuvering potentially causing riders to lose balance.
Federation engineers began doing what they do best, and eventually produced the RX-78E Gundam GT-FOUR to serve as a proof of concept.
The machine - while plagued with issues - proved the viability of variable mobile suits, and was considered a success. With this success, the team was given the green light to continue development of variable machines.
The ORX-003 Domingo was one such machine, and would serve as the basis for development going forward. The Domingo stood at an impressive 25 meters in order to accommodate its transformation mechanism. It boasted an impressive mobile suit to mobile armor transformation time of under five seconds, but needed almost a full ten seconds to transform back.
The ORX-005 Gaplant saw its first deployment in UC 0085 as a joint project between the Augusta and Oakland research labs, incorporating lessons learned from the Domingo.
While the issue of unassisted flight was unimportant in space, the Gaplant was developed with space use in mind. Its MA mode was able to make use of the Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) system almost as efficiently as the MS mode, affording it extreme maneuverability.
However, this maneuverability came at a steep cost, and most pilots were unable to handle the intense g-force exerted on them in combat maneuvers. The Gaplant could only be handled by so-called Cyber-Newtypes, thanks to their enhanced bodies.
The Gaplant saw use during the Gryps conflict, where it was fielded by the Titans. At least two standard units are known to have existed at the time - piloted by Rosamia Badam and Yazan Gable respectively, with an unknown number of modified and/ or experimental units.
The Gaplant was also extensively experimented with by the Titans Test Team, resulting in a number of unconventional units, with some eventually falling into the hands of Zeon remnant groups. Recovered Gaplant prototypes were even modified and fielded by groups such as Karaba and the AEUG.
In UC 105, a group of hijackers used a Gaplant to approach and board Haunzen flight 356.
Known sightings of the Gaplant later on are rare. Notably, in U.C. 203, the wreckage of a Gaplant inspires Afranche Char to fight the Federation when it washes up on the shore of his home island.
The ORX-005 Gaplant was originally designed by Kazumi Fujita for the 1985 anime Moblie Suit Zeta Gundam.

Never Fade
It happens for a split second.
But a split second is more than enough for a vicious chill of fear to sink into his veins and make his heart go still.
(Or, Hua Cheng flickers for a split second, just over a month after he had returned to Xie Lian, and Xie Lian immediately takes care of him, because he can not bear to think of another year without Hua Cheng by his side.)

Bella Brand: Bella's Beauties 001
Published: 11-7-2023 | Updated: 6-25-2024 (fixed typos) SUMMARY “Inspired by the wealth of Bella Goth lore from the Sims/SimCity franchises (aka the “simsverse”), the Bella Brand Series includes more than a dozen sets and 230+ new business-themed items. Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter. So, this series imagines what a prestigious Bella-based brand might look like…” From health and beauty products to novelty items, Bella’s Beauties (SimCity Social, Playfish/Maxis, 2012) caters to SimCity’s social and creative sims – who also happen to love the Bella Brand. A percentage of proceeds go to the Bella Beneficiary Fund. "Bella’s Secret Garden products soothe the body and calm the mind. There’s nothing more soothing than an overpriced tube of lotion, available in endless love, forbidden fantasy, love spell, pear glace, strawberry champagne, and vanilla glace."
DETAILS Requires ALL EPs/SPs. You need Mesh Set 001 (Simmons, 2023) and the Display Counter (BellasSecret_Counter_Somedaythesun)from the TS2 Maxis Match Lingerie Store Set (SomedayTheSun, 2023) – these items are required for all textures to display in-game. The counter uses recolors from the Bosenklavier Model B grand piano (Bon Voyage EP). Find recolors for the counter interior in the Bella Brand: Retail Floor Set (Simmons, 2023). Recolors may include swatches for items in other Bella Brand sets such as signs, packages, cosmetics, etc. Objects in Sims 2 are limited to two recolorable parts, so not all items are recolorable in the same way. Find additional recolors for Bella Brand sets on this site under #ts2recolors, #co2recolors, and #co2bellabrand.
ITEMS Bella’s Beauties Display 001 (356 poly) – 5 slots plus additional slot(s) for tall deco or objects you need to hide Bella’s Beauties Display 002 (330 poly) – place over display 001, 5 slots plus additional slot(s) for tall deco or objects you need to hide Bella’s Beauties Mini Display (232 poly) Bella’s Beauties Display Deco (708 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden Lotion (~568 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden QuickShower Mist (~210 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden Body Cream (~229 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden Moisturizer (~866 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden Skin Masque (550 poly) Bella’s Secret Garden Fresh Formula (644 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA
Functional Cosmetic/Hygiene Products Items can be used from any surface or a sim’s inventory and will boost hygiene/comfort. After several uses (12 by default), the product will need to be replaced. When using cosmetics from a sim’s inventory, wait until the sims finishes using the first item BEFORE selecting the second one. Otherwise, the second object will be removed from the inventory. Both the object and plug-in files are needed for each item to work properly in-game. Number of uses and motive gain are tuneable in simPE (BCONS: 0x00 = number of uses, 0x002 = hygiene, 0x03 = comfort). Some Assembly Required Display 002 has 7 slots and the 6th and 7th are actually below the shelf itself (I needed it to be this way for one of my own projects). The easiest way to build the cosmetics without having to worry about slots 6 and 7 is to: 1) Turn “move objects” on. 2) Place Display 001 and fill it with items. 3) Position the Display Deco (the arch) on the same tile. 4) Place Display 002 on the same tile and fill the first 5 slots with items. See the picture for reference. If you’re display isn’t up against a wall, you might want to have Display 001 and Display 002 facing in different directions to prevent traffic jams among browsing customers.
