Island Paradise Cropped Jacket fix

Sooo you know how the cropped jacket that came with IP has a row of coins at the bottom, but they look glued-on because the transparency doesn't work properly? This issue has been bugging me for literal years, but I never bothered to set to work seriously on it, whenever I remembered it existed. And what better time to work on it, if not 1 AM?

This fix requires the Island Paradise EP; it's a default replacement. I only changed the shader of the coin row groups to SimHair, copied a bit of the transparency over to the multiplier's alpha map, and updated the thumbnails. This fix does not change anything about the CASP resource, meaning it's compatible with recategorizers.

The Ultimate CAS Catalog Overhaul - for real this time!

@lorasandolasbycz asked:

Hi! I love that you made ridiculous sims 3 outfit hiders. Is the procedure with putting them in and getting them to work just the standard? Put the package in sims 3>mods>packages ? For some reason the ridiculous outfits are still in my game. Thanks a bunch! 

Well this turned out significantly longer than I anticipated 😂 I did notice that those hiders weren’t working anymore for some reason, but figured it was just my game being pissy, so I left them up and went through ALL sim CAS items again to reorganize them (it was long overdue anyway). This is what I’ll be posting here. It’s a long-ass post, so check under the cut for details.

This applies for all EPs minus ITF, and for HELS. Also I did not initially mean to share these, so only the hairs have previews (because I gave them custom thumbnails). All of them are default replacements, meaning you need to have the EPs/SP for them to do anything. You can put them in any folder you want, as long as it’s under Mods\Packages.

Hair retextures

The hair retextures are only for the hairstyles I decided to keep! Not all hairstyles are retextured! No, I won’t be doing more. Yes, you can use my textures to retexture your own. Yes, I kept the mullet hair from the Basegame. Who do you take me for? [ click for HQ version of the collage above ]

IMG edits

I use these alongside other IMG and mesh edits: [x], no UL stencils, [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x]. Basegame: a merged version of all my texture edits: 1, 2, 3, 4. Ambitions: this edit for the low-level stylist outfit: 1. Island Paradise: stencil-less version of the male vest, plus this: 1.   Late Night: a few specular edits, a stencil-less version of the muscle shirt, plus this specular edit: 1. Showtime: specular edits of two dresses. University Life: stencil-less version of the male hoodie, plus this: 1.

CASP edits

Recategorizers and hiders for sim CAS content - tops, bottoms, outfits, shoes,  accessories -, all ages. Open each package in S3PE and use S3OC to see which item is which; there are over 1.5k entries so I have no time to go through every one of them again. At most I can show you how part of my catalog looks (see photoset above). Note that I also use Nraas Master Controller to compress the catalog so that only one preset is displayed.

Pets Riding Leggings Edit (BottomEP5RidingPants)

This is an edit that gives all the channels the same color (the mask is intact so they can still be recolored as usual) and rearranges the presets so that the all-black one is first. It comes with EA-match thumbnails to reflect the color changes. It applies to both genders, teen-elder.

Island Paradise Stitched Latin Jacket edit

This is an edit of the blazer top that came with IP, which had these leaf/feather motifs that made it not as versatile as other tops. This edit does away with these motifs on the first preset only; the other 2 are unaffected. As such, the first preset only has 3 channels. For the elder version, I switched the first 2 presets around so that the dark blue one is first, to match the adult version.

For young adult - elder males (BGC files are separate).

EA-match thumbnails for DR, custom thumbnails for BGC.

Available under Everyday, Formal, Career, Random.

Island Paradise Front Desk Top texture edit

I haven’t done one of these in a looong time 😃 Did it mostly because I’ve been using this top to test something else and the harsh shading kept annoying me. The specular has also been edited to reduce the shine. Now and I might actually use this top for once, haha.

It’s a default replacement that works for adult - elder females.

Here you go, anon :) And hell yeah, we do! (for reference) Female and male Stylist hairstyles coming soon.

Issues: these hairs are badly made! 1. You can see fragments of mesh (? idk what that is) which are normally somewhat obscured by EA’s shitty textures. Sadly, IDK how to fix them. 2. Since the hair is wispy, the roots are sometimes visible through the strands. Might want to keep the roots close to the base color. 3. The tips of the long hair clip into the sim’s body. Not a problem for females, but males have a bulkier body mesh, so expect that.

I also threw in a hairstyle from Island Paradise that I thought was better made than these (the one from the first preview).

+ Teen - Elder unisex. + Custom thumbnails only. Separate packages. + Enabled for more categories (e.g. Outerwear), including Random. + Will conflict with CASP edits of the same hairs (recategorizers, hiders). Since Arisuka’s versions were CASP edits, these retextures will conflict with her recategorizers.

Edit: just to clarify (damn you, rushed descriptions!), these objects have inventories. You can use them to store produce, gems, metals, bugs etc.

This is the winner of the second round in the poll (which is still open!): more decorative crap to fix, lol. They took a bit longer to test because I wanted to iron out some things before releasing them, and I’ve been fairly busy IRL as well. Next up: recolorable Seasons Easter eggs!

DR = default replacement, require the specified EPs, will replace EA versions NDR = non-default replacement, don’t require any EPs, don’t replace anything

Both DR and NDR versions require Treeag’s MiscStorage.package file to work, otherwise you won’t have any interactions. In that respect, they can still be used as decor if you want. The WA and IP treasure chests only come in NDR variety because I didn’t want them to interfere with the chests in tombs and dive lots.

Details:

+ You can find all these items under Storage \ Misc in the catalog. + The archives contain both the DR and NDR versions of the items, except for the basegame items (DR only) and the WA and IP chests (NDR only). + The items have separate inventories, so you can have a cabinet dedicated to fruit, another dedicated to gems, another for vegetables etc.
