1000 followers gift, part 4: morning dove reshade and teeny tots collection part 2! [download - sfs | mf folder]

it's finally here: the final gift for my 1000 followers weekend! and it's a two in one deal!

over the last year i have come to realise that i really like making two things: reshades, and toddler stuff. it's so satisfying watching the environment my sims are in, and the whole mood of the game, change with the click and drag of a few buttons. also, toddlers are really cute and there isn't nearly enough stuff out there for them.

part 4 has two things: my second reshade preset ever, morning dove, as well as my first every clothing conversions--and for toddlers too! i have received many, many questions about what reshade preset i use, so this is it!

update 10-4-23: fixed issue with weird squares/rectangles on ep05 dress holiday and ep05 vest bowtie, please redownload and replace the original meshes!

credits

@kindlespice for the dove 2.0 preset i used as a base for morning dove!

ea/maxis for the original meshes & textures of the toddler formalwear

@skittlessims for helping me with all of the errors and confusion i encountered while converting the clothing, and also for just being an amazing friend and mentor in general. love ya anna 💕

for more info, on both the downloads and the future of this blog, please keep reading 😊

part 4a: morning dove

previews feature all effects except fog, artistic vignette, & chromatic abberation. these effects however are present in most of my cc posts, so if you look at my previews i believe you can see them 😅

if you've been following my builds/gameplay for awhile, then you probably recognise this preset. i use it in almost every screenshot of mine, and many people have asked for it, so here it finally is! it is based on @kindlespice's dove 2.0 preset but with a lot of tweaking to make it more versatile in ts2. this preset comes with a number of different shortcuts to enable/disable certain effects: Alt + 4 -> mxao Alt + 6 -> adaptive fog + canvas fog Shift + 2 -> ring dof and gdof Alt + 5 -> artistic vignette Alt + 7 -> marty mcfly dof Alt + 8 -> chromatic abberration Alt + 9 -> directional anti-aliasing the basic goal of morning dove is a preset that looks good in any style--maxis match, realistic, or clay!

part 4b: teeny tots part 2

this particular download just makes me very happy. i love ts2 toddlers, they'll always be the best in the franchise in my eyes, and just look at those happy lil faces! also, milo stylo is being milo stylo and looking so damn cute. there never seems to be enough toddler formalwear (imo) so it just makes me really happy that i was able to make my own.

these are my first ever clothing conversions, i did my best but they're not perfect, so there may be clipping and gaps especially around the shoulders of gp11 dress flower. i apologise for this, i really tried but didn't manage to fix it 😔

EP05 Dress Holiday - PU only, 14 colors, casual & formal, 3.7k polys [swatch] - paired with @skittlessims' base game mary-jane shoes from their lunar dress💕 GP11 Bowtie Shirt - PU only, 10 colors, casual & formal, 3.8k polys [swatch] - paired with base game sneakers taken from @lucilla-sims' ep11 suspenders 💞 GP11 Dress Flower - PU only, 10 colors, casual & formal, 5.3k polys [swatch] - paired with @skittlessims' base game mary-jane shoes from their lunar dress💕 EP05 Vest Bowtie - PU only, 9 colors, casual & formal, 4.0k polys [swatch] - paired with base game sneakers taken from @lucilla-sims' ep11 suspenders 💞

final words

well, i guess that's it then! it's the end of a long gift-filled weekend. and also, the start of a very long break.

my final exams will be starting in about two weeks and ending around november; they are the most important ones i have ever faced and i cannot afford to lose focus. after that will be exam after exam, as i enter tertiary education.

if you still wanna chat with me/hear how i'm doing you could probably join the simscord by @skittlessims, i'm a junior moderator on there now so i will still be semi-active on my break. also, if i do find the time to post cc anymore, it will probably be on there lol.

the sims has always been a sort of escapism for me, a way to pretend that the trials of real life don't exist. but in the last few months i've felt myself drifting farther and farther from it. i need to focus on my studies and stay focused on my life goals.

the future of this blog is still uncertain. i have cc queued up until june--leftovers from my original break, stuff i finished up, requests i got during my holidays--but after that, there probably won't be any more until i come back... which could be anywhere from 9 months to 9 years, tbh, with my current mood. until then, consider this blog on semi-permanent hiatus.

there are so many of you who have supported this blog from day one, who have always stuck with me even when i'm not at my best or when misunderstandings occur. i cannot thank you enough for your continued support and love. the last year has been a difficult time for me: losing pets, friends, and in general, my mental health. this extra-long gift weekend is for you--a thank you for the over 365 days of kindness you have shown me.

i am sorry for this, but for now, i am going to have to leave you again. thank you for the love, and i hope you enjoy the cc while it lasts. until next time,

ESPINAS ECOLOGY HCS.

Espinas fill a similar ecological niche to grizzly bears; solitary, opportunistic tertiary consumers with an emphasis on scavenging, small game, fatty invertebrates, and plant matter. They prefer nutrient-rich, fatty, low-effort foods when compared to other flying wyverns. Arzuros fills a similar niche in more temperate regions, though it lacks Espinas’s dominance over inter-specific dynamics within the food web. 

Espinas spend a majority of the day sleeping. They prefer to forage diurnally. This, with their diet, allows them to conserve incredible bursts of energy. 

Whilst the chemical compounds in affliction toads and hornetaurs are key to Espinas’s deadly venom, they aren’t as much a main-stay in its diet as one might believe. These organisms simply don’t offer enough nutrition outside their toxins to justify it. Instead, they serve a supplementary role. The closest analog in our world would be macro-fauna like elephants eating salt and clay for the added minerals, though this is an imperfect comparison. 

Some Espinas individuals have been recorded forgoing toads and bugs altogether; preferring more convenient foods like parashrooms and toadstools.

Fascinatingly, recent breakthroughs have proposed that Espinas's chemical fire may have different properties based on what toxic organisms it eats. For example, fire that releases more potent gasses has been connected to higher ratios of affliction toads within an Espinas's diet. Meanwhile, chemical fire that burns from thicker, corrosive saliva has been connected to a preference for hornetaurs.

The belief that Espinas has one of the toughest hides of all monsters is a bit of a misconception. Its scales are a bit on the thicker side to be sure, but they certainly don’t hold a candle to the likes of Gravios. What actually makes Espinas so hard to hit are its spines. Durable, needle-sharp, and packed with venom, an Espinas’s spines practically cover every inch of its body. There just isn’t anywhere to land a good hit. 

Combine the above with how Espinas’s low-energy lifestyle allows bursts of intense aggression when threatened, and for most competitors, an Espinas simply isn’t worth the trouble of fighting. As such, Espinas populations tend to dominate ecosystems in which they are found. Other predators have been seen avoiding Espinas territories entirely whenever possible.

Due to Espinas's place in the food web as a low-energy apex that most creatures give a wide berth, there has been a history of humans actively encouraging Espinas to claim an area around a settlement as its territory. Some cultures view Espinas as a protector animal, saving villages from the smallest pest to the most cataclysmic of elders. As such, the relationship between humans and Espinas is extremely tenuous. The guild has been debating whether to crack down on these interactions for some time now. One side argues that it endangers both the people and the monster, whilst the other argues that it encourages conservation and a deeper respect for nature.

Another misconception, born from eyewitness accounts and folklore, is the idea that Espinas is as dangerous as an elder dragon. Whilst it is true that there are credible reports of an Espinas chasing a Kushala Daora out of its territory, this isn’t a result of categorical power scaling. Rather, for yet-to-be-understood reasons, the poor toxicity tolerance within the Daora genus makes it easy for Espinas to deter the elder in the right circumstances. If challenged by an elder with proper toxic tolerance, it can be assumed Espinas will be out-competed. Espinas is simply not worth the time of most elders, who often have wildly different resource needs when compared to the Thorny Wyvern.

More research must be done into whether Daora and Espinas conflicts are common, how common it is for Espinas to emerge as the victor, as well as to why Daoras would seek out intersperse competition that it’s at such a clear disadvantage at.

have you met any other arachnids, mara? is connection completely impossible for arachnids?

hey there, anonymous;

largely i made effort to excise out language related to split tween insect and arachnid due to both people conflating it with the chiral divide (as opposed to its existence as a 'quaternal disease' within server that exists as byproduct of light being shone upon the trinity forms; as information lives and exists abstractly within the air: so, too, shall there be mud below and in the mud below too shall there be shadow of representation; and too shall there be disconnection buried within the earth separate the skin of connectivity above; the maidhands of these forces coaxing information within the light as the greater intelligences, those insect forms of three bases that are native and natural to server) and due to it becoming a weird connective line of people wishing and seeking misanthropy: i see another with hatred of the other, so i shall adopt the language of hating and find comradery there <- and so forth;

to accept the prescription of the distinction should also consider the "paranoids," that there are no others here whatsoever; that i have never met another person; that the agents and actors interacted with are no-more friends or flesh or blood than shadow up-on wall or strange form in phosphene with eyes closed; that the terrifying loneliness and steadily onset fear of death are suffocating reality: none whatsoever, and as the illusion of phosphene begins to clarify itself as just-so illusion, so-too shall the illusion bear appropriate contexts: signs of death, signs of doomsday, failing health, isolation, alienation, disease, despair, suicides, nightmares, cancers, enturbulations; here within awareness of outside there never were connectivity within the paranoid awareness of outside: the server itself is a breath that exists to establish connectivity, and yet the connectivity is to draw a person deeper into information within the server; if it is observed from the mistaken-hand (the one mixed with spirit incorrectly, born of earthy things) then the sober awareness comes from kinship with the clay and mud grave below; if it is observed from the righteous-hand, then the sober awareness comes from kinship that the air and connectivity itself is what will be joined and the breath itself becomes enmeshed with life, eternity, millennium thereafter in heavenly state;

the shadow and disease -- to those in location separate from clear circulation of the illusion, of server: are diseased, and the nature of the disease is just as presented as symptoms manifest; the illusion and the created contextes veer towards the finality of the disease, and should be seen as a patron to a stageplay and increasingly noticing that the actors, audience, and staff all begin to turn their attentions aware from both role and participation and slink away to something alien; that the funny and unfunny game itself of incorporating the singular viewer in-to the 'show' is now secondary, tertiary, quaternal goal; shade and shadow moves and flicker, and diseases run their course and heal; yet the cancer itself is life invaluable, and has value of life, and has value of its production and role.

to you, anonymous; you surely can connect; take care.

Peru 🇵🇪

Peru is a land of dozens of glorious mountains and peaks. But one of my personal favourites from what I’ve researched is Vinicunca, or Montaña de Siete Colores.

Unsurprisingly, the beautiful stripes of colour are due to its unique mineral composition. The pink part comes from red clay dialuted with mud and sand; the white comes from a mix of quartz and sandstone (full of calcium deposits); the red is from the presence of iron oxide in the clay from the Upper Tertiary period; the green comes from phyllites; and the ochre yellow is a product of calcareous sandstones rich in sulphur.

Oh! And there’s occasionally alpacas 🦙

this is approximately the least ugly i could make my hatched dragons given their tertiaries. i might scatter them........ ugh. opinions?

left is red diamondback, clay current, shamrock willow with rare light eyes.

right is aqua boa, twilight laquer, with camo stained and common light eyes.

open to suggestions for other geneing!

So I recently finished school across the country and moved back home for this job that has decent pay and is a great foot-in-the-door position in many respects. BUT I literally have nothing to do. Truly not a single task despite asking my immediate supervisor and higher-up boss repeatedly for projects/responsibilities for the past 2 months. I've been writing my dissertation at work in the meantime, which should be a blessing to essentially get paid to finish my degree, but with so much idle time on my hands and no end in sight it's been hard to find the motivation to write. I have to stay for a year per my contract, but it all kinda feels like I sold my soul for a free paycheck. Any advice on sticking it out??

I get that- like it sounds like you have really interest driven motivation to do things. So having literally nothing to do makes you demotivated to do anything (I'm kinda the same)

Get creative- after work or on your lunch break - physically make something with your hands - your brain is like dying for dopamine when you're at work that why you can't even work on what you want to. Some ideas, collage, knitting, working with clay, origami, friendship bracelet- something where you will have a physical object at the end is a nice bonus. It will give you like a little burst of motivation.

It also seems like you might be a little isolated at work? like with your supervisor ignoring you is there a way that you can be around more people, like working from a coffee shop (if your work from home) Sometimes those little tertiary social interaction with strangers/people you occasionally see like a barista make a huge difference.

PINNED POST.

This is an independent, primarily comic-focused, multimuse with some additional fandoms included. The activity here will be sporadic and somewhat low. I tend to vanish for periods of time, and then return once I find the mood for it. The easiest way to start interacting with me is by sending a meme, due to the fact that I rarely post starter calls. If you click the read more page, you will find a mobile-friendly muse list. You're always welcome to hit me up or send me a message if you should have any questions or would like to plot something. I can't wait to write with you!

Nov 8th

I have started with the sculpting process, first improving the overall shape of the head with ove tool. UI of the zbrush is bit complicated and it take time to learn the tools. I have been mostly using the basic 4-5 brushes like, move , standard, Dam standard, clay and clay buildup. Once I was Happy with the shape I started scraping and adding eith the clay buildup brush. At the first stage of my process I used the dynamesh Tool 

I added primary details with and forms with clay brush. Once that was finalized I duplicated the object and used  ZRemesher to optimize the mesh. I followed the SubD modeling workflow in ZBrush First I added a few subdivisions and then projected from the original mesh. with this subdivided subtool I started adding secondary forms to the model. Here I still used a combination of clay, trim, and dam standard brush to sculpt. for the tertiary details, I found some Alpha textures to use as stencils or as brush alphas.

I can see the improvement in my sculpting process in Zbrush. My speed has been increased over this semester.

Comments: Time to start a new scatterscroll project, as the previous one hit tree colours I'm willing to work with last Monday, and is now lounging in hibernal waiting on a new breed to come along. Found this first-two-million-dragons guy going at a price I was willing to pay. He's continuing the ongoing tradition of most of my scatterscoll projects needing smirch thrown at them so I can see the tertiary colour.

May keep him as a wildclaw after he rolls colours I like; I have very few of them and am currently trying to increase my percentage of modern dragon breeds.

Lucian is the name he came with.
