“This link is broken or doesn’t exist anymore” and “Where can I find X set”

head over my blog’s download section to have access to a list of all my free content; this is an easy-to-navigate list, with direct download links (mediafire or patreon) & includes all my older sets that had broken links.

→  download section  ←

“This bed is broken”

when the game adds new features through updates, it can break certain type of content; to update my beds & have them work properly again, you will need to re-download them here :

→  beds update  ←

“Where can I download your builds?”

my builds & rooms are not available for downloads because I do not keep them myself. I usually create simple rooms only to showcase my content & take pictures, I then delete them.

“What ReShade/GShade do you use & where can I download it?”

my GShade presets are all my own personal presets. I think that one’s preset is such nice way to add a unique touch to pictures & I won’t share any of my presets for that reason.

“Do you allow recolors & conversions to other Sims games?”

yes. I allow recolors & conversions (to Sims games ONLY), as long as my content is already released for free & out of early access. For more information, please read my terms of use;

→  terms of use / t.o.u  ←

“I just downloaded X set, and my game won’t start”

this can happen for a few reasons; your game isn’t up to date, you have a lot of duplicate packages, or files got corrupted while downloading. If you download a lot of fully finished builds with merged cc (or into different files), you could end up with a lot of duplicates of the same object. This could cause your game to be slower or even not start at all. Secondly, downloading a lot of files at the same time, especially on patreon, seems to be causing problems & corrupting files. The corrupted files will cause your game to either crash at start or give you an error message. Try taking the last files you downloaded out of your Mod folder and re-downloading the set, or sets, only one part at the time. This seems to always work for me. My content is tested by multiple people (and me) before uploading & I would not upload broken content. If you are facing issues with an older set of mine, it is most likely a problem that occurred while downloading or with your game/mod folder. I am always happy to help when it comes to my content, but I will not “fix” any other creator’s content. In short, make sure to check for: - batch fix (e.g. broken beds updates) - game updates - cc duplicates - corrupted files Lastly, if you did all the above, and are still having problems, do not hesitate to send me a direct message (DM). When it comes to troubleshooting, I will not answer comments below posts for the simple reason that it makes it difficult to have a conversation. Going back and forth with replies into a comment section makes it too difficult since it will most likely require going through a few steps to solve any further issues.

"Do you do commission work?"

no, I dont. I often take suggestions or make small polls on my social media (insta & patreon), feel free to follow me & participate in those, send me pictures of things you like etc.

"Are you WCIF friendly?"

yes. I will do my best to remember where it was from, but since I don't keep any builds in my game, it can sometimes be difficult. Also, please note that I often write a small WCIF section at the end of my posts, take the time to read all the way down!

Thank you all for being here, supporting my work & taking the time to read.

Before I get any further into the 1900's, let's take a quick moment to reflect back.

For anyone just joining us, I am currently playing through a cc free (ish) decades challenge. I'll post expanding on what the (ish) means at some point, but I'm doing this for a number of reasons, the big one is I want to know if you can do it. Can you dupe the vibes well enough to feel emersed during each decade? I've got all the packs. This is easily a thousand-dollar game I now have. Yes, I am ashamed saying that. But, with all this money spent, I should be able to make this work.

With the 1890 decade complete, I wanted to share how I dressed or wished I had dressed my sims during this decade. Posts like this, shout out to out to Ashubii, really helped me along the way- so I want to return the favor to the community.

To start: -I am using zero CC clothing, hair, accessories etc. -I do have some "body" cc (lashes, skin overlay, body blush) -I am not a CAS simmer, so I'm not revolutionary in my styling -Between the limitations of what is available in game and my basic knowledge of the decade, don't expect accuracy just inspiration -If you want to know what pack an item is from, please ask! I am very WCIF friendly

I think it's also a good callout that I played the 1890s very 'country' focused. The 1900s outfits I have planned, I think, could easily work for 1890s if you were starting in more of a 'city' so come back for that post if you need fancier inspiration!

Here we have our main man, Bobert Pancakes showing off his everyday, formal, athletic, sleep, party, and cold weather outfits. He was a farmer, so his outfits were simple, and repetitive. His swim wear was his sleepwear, minus the socks, and his hot weather was his athletic wear plus the bandana from his every day- so I just saved a little room and left those off.

Here's Eliza 'I don't have a favorite child' Pancakes rocking an extra outfit because you know she has to be showing off. I have her everyday, formal, athletic, sleep, party, hot weather, cold weather outfits. Eliza is pretty country, maybe a little more than she would have liked. So, her outfits are also simple, repetitive, but with an extra bow. Her swimwear was a dress from Eco Lifestyle- but she never swam so I'm leaving it out, though you can see mouse nose Nora wear it in some gameplay screenshots.

Speaking of Nora! I grabbed her to show off some teen outfits. Though, these are more outfits I wished I dressed her and Hazel in. I also grabbed Arthur, Herbert, and Walter to show off their actual outfits. I've got, for the boys, an everyday for Walter and Arthur and party for Herbert. Nora is styling everyday, hot weather, and party. I dressed the teens, mostly, like adults because teenagers weren't really a thing in 1890, so I imagine they are wearing a lot of hand-me-downs. What I like about the outfits above is that they blend in the 1890s with newer fashion I will be including in the 1900s, I wish I did more of that sooner. I imagined those pieces were the few new items Eliza made for them.

So! Here we have Thomas rocking everyday, formal, party, hot weather, and cold weather. Hazel is wearing everyday, sleep, and formal. Children are tough to dress. Or, rather, dressing Hazel and the gals in this age group was painful. Some of her outfits are so bad, I won't share them. If you wanted to get a little CC in your life, this would be a spot I'd consider adding to. I was feeling so limited because all the skirts are short or very themed to Island Living. Swatches also were very modern, so there just felt like a million restrictions. You can see in the rest of the outfits, I have a preferred color pallet, so Hazel stands out (to me) like a sore thumb in comparison.

I'm grouping infants and toddlers together and, for the first time, showing off Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Harold's children. This is where my lack of interest in CAS really stands out. I do actually think this age group has good options but... I don't careeeeee. Again, I'm not a CAS simmer and this is where it shows. Generally, my toddlers and infants aren't going to events or honestly even leave the house. They are also this ae for only a few days. So, I repeated these looks for almost every little one. This is also probably why I couldn't tell the Pancakes' kids apart until they hit childhood/teens.

I hope this was as fun to skim over as it was to compile! Again, super open to questions or honestly suggestions. I'm having so much fun with this challenge I'm already thinking about doing it again, so I'd love ideas for the next round!

WCIF Sunni's Box DLs?

Ok all, this list is HUGE. However, I've spent over a week piling through every single item Sunni has listed in the Plumbob Keep, and unfortunately, all of her box download links no longer work. I tried contacting her (as well as others) at the Keep, with no response (I'm not even sure if many of them are active anymore). NOTE: These are all Medieval items. So, without further ado.... (brace yourselves)....here's the list of what I'm looking for:

Please accept my most humble apologies for the extent of this list. I simply have no place else to turn to for help in finding these items. I'm on a new computer system, as my other system got completely destroyed before I could grab any files from it (this also means I lost over 10 years of personal family photos that I'm also still trying to get back). Thanks TONS for any help you can give me. <3

UPDATE EDIT: I was not aware that Sunni had passed away awhile back. Earlypleasant's response to this post was the first I had heard of it, and I think what upsets me more is the fact that I mentioned trying to contact Sunni to several people at the Keep...and no one said anything to me. =( I feel just horrible about not knowing, and hope that Sunni's passing was as peaceful as it could possibly have been. May she rest well eternally. <3

That being said, because of this, I'm going to devote an entire section on my TS2 Designs site just for her downloads. I'm going to have a dedicated folder just for her, on my SFS page, open for anyone who wants to download her items. So please, if you have ANYTHING made by Sunni, send it my way, so I can put it up on the SFS area. I will include any screen shots I can on the TS2 Designs page for her. Thank you so much!! <3

Did you create Datoka Garner in Sims 3

Do your asks get ignored all the time? Then please read this. Hello Anon, The short answer is no, I don't even know who that is. If a Sim that I made bears any likeness to a person named like that, you could have said which of my sims looks like the person you mean. I have no clue who that could be. Are you sure I am the right one you wanted to ask this question? Frankly, sending a message like this comes across as pretty rude. You did not even say hello and the sentence does not even have punctuation, and you did not include any information on the person so I have no way to identify them further or relate this question to one of the sims I made. You might have been pretty frustrated when writing this ask. Maybe you started out writing a polite message to someone but got ignored. Maybe you then decided to just shorten your question down to this to reach as many other simmers as possible? Answering questions takes time and is a favor done to you, the asker, but if you do not even put in minimum effort and common courtesy when asking the question, why should the addressee (me) do a favor for you? There is no incentive to even answer if it is not really clear what you're referring to, why you are asking the question, and why you are asking me specifically. I think I shared one sim in my entire 11+ years on Tumblr and otherwise use pretty much the same dozen of sims. I'm sure many people just ignore a question like this and I was almost going to myself, but sometimes people who write a question like this really do not know why no one answers them, so if you were ignored a lot before by others, I want to let you know what you can do better in the future. In any way, I think you could benefit from this advice to make your life and the life of those receiving your asks easier in the future though, so please read on. When asking about a person, you have to include more identifying information about them. A link to an image of the person will help a lot, and any other specifics about them so that a person who has never heard of them knows who you mean. Incidentally, you may have sent your question to 20 different simmers without even looking at what their blog content is. Please look for blogs that take requests and are WCIF-friendly before writing a message like that and search the tags (like sim request) to find blogs that already made requested sims or answered WCIFs. This will save you and the people receiving your ask a lot of frustration. Instead of writing asks, you could also try a post on your own blog and add the proper tags to your posts so that people can find it. Taking the time to write a proper post on your own blog with a thorough description of the sim and proper tags on the post will most likely help you more than asking a bunch of different simmers at random. In the end, you are spending more time posting your inadequate question to 20 simmers than if you write one post on your blog that is respectful and contains everything others will need to know to understand your request. I hope this is helpful to you, and if you did read until the end, thank you! I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for, dear Anon, and now have the proper tools at hand to improve your chances.

Hii if you don't mind me asking wcif the underwear Zelda is wearing in your post from yesterday?

Hello! I don't mind in the slightest.

You can find Zelda's underwear here. And don't worry...she'll be getting her full blown 1920s lookbook soon 😉

(As an aside...I was having some trouble getting this SFS link to load. This could be an issue on my PC, but if it happens to you, deleting the href.li/? in front of https in the address link prompts the file to download immediately. If this is unclear or anyone needs me to explain further please feel free to direct message me!)

F.A.Q.

Frequently. Asked. Questions.

I've been getting similar asks by some people since I started sharing ccs, so I made this quick list for new visitors. In future I will add more questions. Requests and WCIFs are closed

Q1. Could you make [   ] sliders/other cc for me ? A. Before you ask me, please search for your specific item on Google, cc finds blogs on Tumblr, etc. I'm not willing to steal ideas from other cc creators, I always take research before starting my project, also to save time and appreciating their work. For requests, suggestions, I'm planning to open only on my Patreon for my patrons from special tiers in future, since I don't have enough time to accept and make all of them.

Q2. Are [   ] sliders compatible with yours? A. If it's using the same morph spot, they might conflict. If you want to use both, I recommend looking for alternatives or changing the area(cf. these asks: [1] [2]). Also, this pretty guide to all slider positions may help you.

Q3. What sliders, presets did you use in your latest [   ] slider/preset preview? A. I basically don’t use similar types of ccs from other creators on areas I want to showcase my new cc.

Q4. What skins do you use? A. I usually use my personal default skin and skin overlay I mixed various skin details from other cc creators. You might see original skins from me in future if I succeed in my attempts(cf. this ask)

Q5. What morph spot does your [   ] slider use? A. It should be written after “Control available on” in my posts. Also, the gifs of the previews and detailed instructions on my Patreon can help further.

Q6. Is your [   ] slider compatible with all of your sliders? A. Yes, you can use all of my sliders together as long as they don’t use the same morph spot!

Q7. The redo/undo function in cas don’t work with your [   ] slider. A. Yes, this is because there are no matching categories for those morph data. Unfortunately I am not able to fix this problem. I have been looking for a solution.

[esotheria-sims]

Hi Esotheria, I was on Pinterest and saw some TS4-TS2 converted accessories from Toksik by "Chanel" but when I click the link to find the simblr, it only connects to the image of the converted cc. Do you know how I can find this Simblr or if you have any of their CC? Thank you for your help ^-^ can you also recommend any elven-inspired jewelry for me, please? :3

I do indeed! :) @chanelwwww is the Tumblr, and I’m guessing the accessories you’re talking about are these? Chanel’s simblr is still intact (pics, links, etc.) so you can browse to your heart’s content! 

As for elf-appropriate jewelry… well, that would depend on your own idea of elves? :) For me personally, anything works as long as it’s a bit more ornate, medieval-ish, fantasy, or nature-inspired… so in other words, any jewelry that isn’t strictly modern or contemporary. 

- For medieval jewelry, don’t look any further than PlumbBob Keep! Some personal favorites of mine are Wawa’s European parure sets & Anne of Bavaria jewels, and Maya40′s Cersei Lioncoin necklace. And while we’re talking PBK and elves, there’s these elven circlets by Rebellina and this cool TS2 version of Thranduil’s crown (more recolors here).

- Maybe not elvish jewelry per se, but Hat shared tons of awesome medieval accessories in this post. The pics are unfortunately busted, but trust me, wading through the post is well worth it.

- When we’re talking fantasy jewelry, I’m really partial to Maya40′s creations. Check out her crown accessories & tiaras and GoT-inspired jewelry sets (tiaras, Sansa’s accessories, Cersei’s accessories). 

- Kativip’s Fusion accessories are also worth checking out!

- Some of the chinese accessories from MT-Cakestore could also double as fantasy/elvish accessories. 

- These Art Nouveau accessories by Vampire_of_Death at GoS give me very elvish vibes, especially the headpiece!

- And here’re some more Art Nouveau necklaces by ClubCrimsyn! And no, I don’t know why I keep equaling elvish to Art Nouveau, so don’t bother asking. :p

- Martini converted this super-pretty necklace+earrings combo, and Skell recolored it (as well as a few other lovely meshes!)

-If you’re a fan of more discreet jewelry, check out these lovely lockets and earrings by Yandereplum.

- Lidiqnata also shared some elvish circlets a while ago. (they’re somewhere around the center of the page)

- This cute daisy crown by Lilith could work well for nature elves!

- And speaking of flower crowns, there’s a gorgeous one by Xenoriarose! (more recolors of it are in that big Accessory dump post by Hat I linked above)

- Even MOAR flower crowns by Nymphy! ✾

- And by JulieJ! ✿

- And by Azaya! ❀

- And by Zerodark! ❃

- And one by Erschsims! (kindly reuploaded at the Gamevn forum. Check out the rest of the thread for even more cool accessories!) 

-Violette (Purpleashell @ Tumblr) has some cute accessories that fall under the ‘not necessarily elvish but pretty nonetheless’ category… She’s shared a lot more on the Sims2City forum though, such as this lovely snowflake jewelry set (direct link if you can’t access the forum) which I’ve put on my elven lady Aruena.

- These aren’t strictly elvish, either, but the third earrings in this post by Whysim are just too pretty to miss out on! While you’re at it, I recommend you also check out the rest of Whysim’s downloads, as you’re sure to find some hidden gems (such as these necklaces, or these delicate earrings that might work for you if you don’t tend to give your elves huge floppy ears like I do. :D)

- Back to Chanel again, but I just remembered these singlet rings that could pass as royal jewelry for your elven lords (come to think of it, I might just put them on my own elven noble! :D)

- Old but definitely gold, this star jewelry set from Liana (#41) would look smokin’ on your elven ladies! I’m also quite fond of set #46 from here.

- Another oldie, but this headwear set by Rose (fourth pic) also deserves a mention! 

*BONUS: The following accessory sets fit the theme but their download links no longer work, so I’m reuploading them. All due credits go to the original creators!

DOWNLOAD: Daislia Narcissus set (Mirror) | Eir-sims Metal Feather headband | IlTrono crown | Gabi’s Store ‘Dark Romance’ 4t2 Accessories

And if this STILL wasn’t enough, you’re more than welcome to check out my Accessories board on Pinterest or see what other accessories people have asked for under my WCIF Accessories tag. :) Have fun browsing! (and my condolences to your Downloads folder)

Do Sim Evil Better.

I’d been knockin’ this idea around for a long time, and after collecting (or making, in the case of the CAS background) all the right cc, I decided to do something fun and unrelated to my stories and make the most handsome, most ingenious, and most evil man to ever exist in a narrative, Corin Deeth III (who actually named the Corin in my current storyline - Corin with two “r”. #bigFan).

Reader, you may or may not be familiar with the story of Kakos Industries and if you aren’t you truly are missing out. It is the best podcast I’ve listened to since The NoSleep Podcast, and to be honest...I think it actually one-ups my beloved NoSleep. It is a very fun and witty podcast with some great humor, greater hijinks, and can I just mention how alluring Corin’s voice is? Just sayin’. The storyline is awesome, too...so many great characters. I want to make Jr. and Malantha next~ I’ll leave some links at the bottom of the post for those who may be interested. Anyway, without further ado, let’s meet the man of the hour, shall we?

~*~*~*~*~*~

Well hello, Corin~.... Now, I may have missed the mark, but I always envisioned Corin having short, trendy hair that still embodied professionalism and and air of slight douchery. I have seen a lot of fanart where Corin has long hair and perhaps that is canonically true. If so, I apologize Corin, please do not send me a pair of exploding sneakers. I may have missed his eye color too, but I went with a very piercing blue-green because that’s just my personal taste and light eyes with dark hair is so badass.

Corin’s traits came pretty natural - evil, confident, and I picked hot-headed because it would best help his in-game aspiration (Criminal Mastermind) moreso than him being hot-headed in the canon. He is actually always as cool as a cucumber. I admire that.

And a little in-game blurb for him because why not? Am a ridiculously enamored fangirl? Maybe. (I spelled his name wrong up top, but I fixed it AFTER I took that and the next cap - whoops)

And just for fun, this personality notice about Corin popped up when I went in to do his photoshoot. I just love it and the look on Corin’s face at the time - Ah, the taste of accuracy.

Now, on to the main event. I’ve always wondered what Corin’s sense of fashion was like, and now having listened to 99% of the podcast (it was so fun to catch up, I’m pretty much stalling on finishing what’s out now because waiting for the next is gonna hurt so bad) I’ve gotten too curious and decided to raid his wardrobe. What’s in there, I wonder??? Let’s find out.

Everyday Wear

Oh of COURSE Corin looks dark and dapper in a suit for everyday. Look at that little splash of color! I bet you used the blood of insubordinate employees to make that tie custom, didn’t you? Magnificent. What else do you slip into on the daily? Maybe when you’re home relaxi-

Oh. Um. Well...You do wear a cowboy hat very well, Corin! I mean...they match the boots and everything! I...I’m sure there are a lot of experimental abominations to wrangle around the office so why not dress the part? Not gonna lie, that shirt looks breezy and comfortable as hell. Maybe take a trip to the mountains with King Leopold sometime? (I...I know what happened in the story, and I refuse to let it go. #OTP.)

Formal Wear

Ah. The natural snazz comes out around the time of the Shareholder’s Ball and the CEO Festival, doesn’t it? You didn’t strike me as the bowtie type of evil CEO but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look amazing on you. I see you’ve forgone your gloves for formal wear. Hard to eat the deviled eggs and tiny cheeses in those, non?

...This must be the suit you wear to the CEO Festival. That’s really the only explanation as to why it always turns out to be...what it usually becomes. I am going to assume that this suit belonged to Mr. Corin Deeth I and you wear it in his honor. I sure he is looking down on you, pleased but also wondering why you haven’t indulged in what is (still) in the right-side inner pocket.

Athletic Wear

You cannot be a successful CEO of an evil megacorp if you let yourself go. Hence why you slip into nothing but basketball shorts for a long, strenuous...sweaty...satisfying...workout. Between culling unnecessary employees and flawlessly delivering the shareholder announcements, you’re deadlifting 400lbs and making 1st in marathons, aren’t you? Of course you are.

And then there’s jazzercise. Cardio IS important and I mean...just running can be a bit tedious, yeah? You’re so well-rounded, Corin, golly. Honestly, I’m not at all mad at your fashion choice for this one. You don’t have to hide it, we are all friends here. The 80′s were a great time and I am happy you’re keeping the impeccable athletics fashion alive.

Sleepwear

Even mega evil mega CEOs need rest from time to time and nothing beats resting out topless and in trackpants. I see you are wearing ADIDAS, the most evil of brands. Not much else I can say. I am too busy admiring what jazzercise has done for you.

Uh oh. It must be one of those days. Malantha has flustered you again, Dirk is texting for more life advice, and Jr. is sending way too many...um...”special photos” to prove his is thinking hard on how to best contribute to the company. Good thing Brosephus is totally awake at 2am and ready to video chat about all of this. It’s SOOOO LAAAAAAME, right?!

Party Wear

Rollin’ up to the New Year’s Festival feels good, especially when you look this mighty fine. Nothing like finally getting past Yule and Anti-Celebrating by finally cutting loose again and making those ultra evil resolutions. Again with the gloves, I see. Well, I guess better safe than sorry. There’s no tell who’ll feel your wrath after four Blue Motorcycles.

Hm. This is quite the uh...departure, Corin. I mean, nothing ever looks bad on you but where on Earth would you even wear this to? Where would it even work??? ...Oh, right! The Festival of Adorableness! Awkward or not, you’ve made it work. I’m willing to bet the Division of Subversive Cute helped out with this ensemble. Kudos to them! I’m sure burning it afterwards was incredibly satisfying for you.

Swimwear

Why are you looking so bedeviled, Corin? How, when you look that prepared for a pool party, can you possibly be in such a foul mood? Oh...oh wait. Malantha has hidden your sunblock, hasn’t she? Goshdarnit! How can you possibly be evil without being as pale as your skin tone will allow?! That Malantha...she truly is evil, isn’t she?

Welp. I guess if you’re going to get a tan, might as well hit every spot you can. Suck on that, Malantha! (....) Also, breaking out the zebra print speedo wasn’t the worst idea you’ve ever had, and I both applaud, and ready my binoculars for, you choice of white swimwear. No booty shot? Ugh. Fair enough...gotta leave something to the imagination, I guess. #disappointmentOverdose

Warm Weather Wear

This is the look of a man about to take off on his mega evil yacht and never look back. That shirt, unbuttoned down to where it is suggestive but not desperate, those shorts, defining the thighs while still looking professional, those boat shoes that scream class and bless you for not wearing socks with them. There is a thin line between evil and insane and you ride it perfectly.

Apparently, even evil knows it wouldn’t be summer without an obnoxiously bright Hawaiian shirt. Ain’t even mad. Oooh, and white pinstripe pants....why yes, dear, they do make you look taller and thinner! I can almost hear you now, as you swagger out the front doors, “I’m off to the Maldives, screw y’all! Also, if a single brick is out of place when I get back, I’ll kill you.” You tell ‘em, Corin.

Cold Weather Wear

Brrrrrr. Generally, evil is always cold, dark, and hateful but sometimes even the weather puts up a good fight. Stylish as ever, you have broken out a very elegant scarf and jacket, expertly layered as to properly insulate all of the darkness within. No hat, though? Of course not. Evil does not get that chilly.

Corin: “What you mean I didn’t win the Ugly Sweater Contest?!”

RUN.

~*~*~*~*~

And that concludes are journey through Corin’s wardrobe! This really was a lot of fun to do, and I’d be ever so pleased if the fine people who bring the @kakosindustries universe alive enjoy it too! I’ve also redecorated Corin’s in-game home (the Alto Apartment’s unit that was formally Lobo’s #sorrynotsorry) and I would like to share that one day too, if I get around to doing the photo tour. I will share some links below to a few relevant sites for anyone whose interested in Corin and the Kakos Industries story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers!

For the next couple of days I’m going to be emptying my entire ask box of all the asks that have been left sitting since I’ve been away for a while. If your ask was not answered after I’m done with all of them (I will announce when we’ve come to the end) your ask was either a request, a suggestion or eaten by Tumblr. If it’s not a request or suggestion, please feel free to send again!

If you want to blacklist these posts, please tag ‘valhallan backlog’!

Answers under the cut.

1) Every game is different and it's not possible for models/textures to be extracted from every game. Some game are easier than others - your best bet is looking on deviantArt for 'XNALara' or 'XPS' conversions if you have no idea how to convert things yourself. XPS is a program that lets you pose characters and create scenes - a lot of people convert models from various games to XPS, which can be used to convert into the Sims. There is a special addon for Blender that allows you to open XPS files directly into Blender, which you can then use to convert onto a Sims' body (or in the case of buy/build: convert it as an object).

If you are planning to do the extracting of models (taking the models and textures out of the game) yourself, you're going to have to research on how to do that for the game you are planning to extract from: it's different for every game out there.

As for the process on how to convert things from start to finish, your best bet is really the Sims 4 Studio forums. They have hundreds of tutorials that can help you with what exactly you are looking for.

2) @paarthunaps Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy them. I'm definitely on my way to making more tattoos, since I know so many people love them.

3) If you are talking about the skin she has in HOTS, then yes! Eventually.

4) Sure, I've been looking into that idea for a while and might whip up something in time for Halloween. I'm glad you like the decals!

5) If you are referring to the models I use for my preview pictures, then I'm going to have to disappoint and say that I won't be sharing her. Pretty much all of my models are the same exact Sim, just modified to fit the particular preview I'm working on. I'll not be sharing her since she's pretty much the only model I use, and not really a 'Sim' in the way that she has a personality or something.

6) Thank you so much for the kind words! They mean a lot. ♥

7) @wondergalastudios I've done a handful of commissions, but it highly depends on exactly what you are looking for. If you can send me a little message, I might be able to help you further!

8) Thank you so much, I'm so happy you like them!! ♥

9) @femme-finale PRETTY AND TERRIFYING is all I've ever wanted for people to feel when dressing their Sims in my CC. Thank you so much!

10) @bubblegumburton You are not bothering me, but this is a very frequently asked question that I have answered multiple times in my WCIF tag! Please take a scroll through there and you will find it.

11) Aaaaah that's so nice to hear!! I feel humbled whenever I hear of tons of people using my CC and talking to their friends about it. Thank you so much, I'll keep at it!!

12) Hi dear! Thank you so much for the kind words!! The lip-line tattoo is from Get to Work, actually! I might do some recolours soon, since they don't come in an awfully lot of options.

13) I would, but I made S76 as a joke, actually, haha! I never saved him, but I might consider remaking him just because I know a few people would love to have him in their game.

14) @plurnbobs Thank you so much for the kind words, you are too nice!! ♥ Your best bet is indeed the WoW Model Viewer, which is still being updated! It might not look like it since the banner on the website still says WoD, but if you go to downloads you will see the latest update, for example, was this month. I just export the models I want to use as .obj, and go from there. Hope that helps!

15) @nympharia LMAO yeah. My Sims pretty much only look good with certain poses, because the default Maxis goofy faces they make when just in CAS, for example, make them look really stupid. It's pretty hilarious :")

16) @strongheartmaid Thank you so much! I love my queen. ;v;

17) It's the Vellichor hair by WMS! You can find it here.

18) And I love you! Thank you!!

19) @selfproclaimedunicorn Ugh me too lmao. I get so offended when people call young!Hanzo ugly in-game because he is my son. I can't wait to finish him and Genji and have him up for download for you guys. Thank you!!

20) Aw, don't feel bad for feeling shy!! I do not mind anons at all. Thank you so much for the kind words and being an absolute sweetheart by linking people my work, thanks!! ;v; ♥ I hope you and your guild have lots of fun in both WoW and the Sims!!

Answers to Anon Asks

It’s time for another roundup of asks. This one contains recent ones and also some from a little further back.

I believe it’s been mentioned on here before, and yes I did watch some of it back in the day. I do remember it being quite sad. I thought there were some interesting things going on in that story, for sure, from what I watched of it.

I think you should be mostly fine if you turn both of their ACR setttings to “no jealousy” and also “setting is static”. They’re both quite mean (Jonah slightly more so), and that’s one of the personality factors most prone to jealousy according to ACR’s settings, even among Romance sims. If you want to be completely safe, change the setting of the lot to no jealousy allowed. ACR should have a default for Romance sims and I’m sure it is to have no jealousy in general, or close to it, aside from those personality factors.

*goes to check* Okay, this is from my WIP for that TS2 poly tutorial I never finished:

According to the readme file, there is always a slight chance with ACR that a jealous reaction may occur randomly regardless of your settings if the sim is “grouchy, mean, and in a bad mood” so be on the lookout for that.

I’m not clear on whether “setting is static” with prevent that. Changing the overall lot setting will take care of it, so that’s the most certain approach.

You won’t be able to have a three-person date by the game’s restrictions, but an outing should work just fine.

Good luck! And thank you, anon. :) I hope you have fun with it.

I hadn’t heard of it, but I did take a look after I got this ask. He does have the hair, nose, and face shape of a teen Ripp. And large eyes, but most characters do in manga. He’s much slighter of frame than I imagine Ripp, or even according to the TS2 default body shape, but I think that comes with the genre. (My take on Ripp is heftier than that, as shown in my TS4 version of him.)

It does seem like a cute romance story, anon. :) The drawings are nice,

Thank you, anon. You are too kind. <3 I am happy you like my content, and that it brought back those memories for you. I have every intention of continuing. :) I try to work a little on it most days.

Yeah, I feel like the name of the band may have held them back from having more mass appeal? haha. It’s too bad. Mass Romantic is a great album. :) They are easily one of my favourite bands.

That’s so kind of you to say. I did decide to share it in the end, and was a little let down by the lack of interest (and downloads). Something I fully expected, it being so specific and to my own taste, but still a little disappointing, considering the requests and wcifs for it. But I shared it, and it did feel nice to share for the sake of those who were interested. Thank you for your interest in my cc. :)

And thank you. :) I hope it can give some people joy.

I said thank you already on another post, but I thought I’d do so again here just in case. Thank you, anon! :)

I don’t know what to do with this ask, seriously. Possibly you are a troll, but I’ll act as if you aren’t…

Anon, I think you will find that “Hey, I don’t like your work, but please answer these questions about your work” doesn’t go over well with most people. You obviously don’t need to be a “fan” to talk to me, but why frame it so negatively when it’s possible to say nothing about that at all and simply begin the question?

Also, if you want to know those details of the plot, they’re there in the story (such as the fact that Lola did already go to the alien colony with Johnny, which would be easy to see even without reading a word). But if you don’t care to read the story, then why do you need to know about the plot? That honestly makes no sense to me.

Time to empty my askbox

Some of these were sent months ago, I'm so sorry for the slow reply speed OTL Also hey if you recognize any of the CC that I can't identify here, please reply to this post and help a simmer out :D!

From oldest to newest:

Anonymous said: Wcif angel's workout outfit? Thank you!

Here's the outfit in question:

I actually tried to look for info on this ingame, but came up with nothing. It doesn't have creator info on it ?? :/

sterina-sims said: Hi! I was hoping that you could tell me where Rolf's skin and eyes are from? :)

Rolf's skin is from this amazing werewolf set, my werewolf default skin is also from it. As for his eyes.. Well, I thought they were from the same set, but now that I look at them, they're different. Can't help with you those right now

Anonymous said: Hi! WCIF the hair in this post /159739705692/justplantsimthings please?

simpu said: Hi I was wondering wcif your plantsim Sabina's hair here /post/159738231351/. Thank you 😊

OK so the hair looks like this:

The flower headband thing is an accessory btw, not a part of the hair. Right now I can't remember the name/source of it, I'll reblog this post when/if I find the creator info from my game (unless one of my followers can name it before that?).

skurzulls said: Are you running the game in compatibility mode? If you are and it's still not working I can send you my graphic rules and where to paste them in your game. This fixed the direct x issue for me.

This was related to the technical difficulties I had earlier this year, TS2 wouldn't run on my new PC, just gave me the DirectX 9.0c-error message.The root of my problem was hiding in my graphic card's settings, but this is still good advice because yeah, switching to compatibility mode often solves the problem. Sorry for replying so late and thank you for trying to help!

twofingerswhiskey said: your aesthetic is the prettiest thing! O:

Thank you so much!!

Anonymous said: Hello :) Where did you download skin which use in The Sims 2?

Did you forget to specify which skin you're looking for, or is this just in general? But like.. I download stuff from too many sites ..It would take me all day to list them all :D:D But Mod The Sims is always a good place to start, there are lots of pretty skins over there!

Anonymous said: Hey, what make up do you use for your cute alien sims? Also, where can I find Minervas hair? I love your sims, they are so cute! Thank you :)

Ahh they're not really aliens, just some kinda random fantasy sims :') Listing all the makeup would also take me all day... Hhaha, but I just.. Well, here's a screenshot of a sim's CC list, so as you can see, I just layer nose masks, various makeup, costume makeup/mask elements, etc.:

As for Minerva's hair.. Dang, I wish Tumblr would put dates on these messages! I have no idea which hair you meant.. Maybe her teen hair, which is this?:

And sadly I can't identify this one either.. I'll add info if I find any.

Thank you!

Anonymous said: Hi! Where is that lovely pink crib from? Thank you in advance!

Anonymous said: heey, wcif the pink with flowers wallpaper and the crib from this post (/post/164748120493/), tysm!

Here's a picture of the things you're looking for:

It's funny, I looked at these messages and I was like "finally! I know where those are from!!" Because I was 95% sure that the crib is from Around the Sims and the wallpaper's from Parsimonious. However, I couldn't find them... Argh! The search continues!

Anonymous said: WCIF the wallpaper in Dulcie and Victor's bedroom? It's so pretty!!!

I agree, it's gorgeous!

Every time I open TS2 I'm like "alright, you have lots of WCIF-requests, at least look up the info on that one blue wallpaper"... But then.. I forget.. and just start playing instead......

Another addition to the pile of things to inspect further :D

minicule said: hello! what action do you use to edit your sims 4 photos? thank you

I use snapdragoned's wonderful .psd as a base, and then I tweak things like curves, saturation etc. if needed :)

🌞 Hello to every single one of you who has followed my little blog! 🌞

I recently hit a follower milestone far faster than I ever expected and I just don’t know how to thank y’all. I’ve been playing the sims for a very, very long time and I’ve never in my life considered myself a creative person. Quite the opposite, I’ve long said that I didn’t have an imagination (I’m one of those people who literally can’t visualize books when they read, and I never dream at night or really picture anything in my head).

However, I think that this story has begun to change my mind. Every time I put out a new post I look at my photos and I can’t believe I actually did this, even if it’s a story on Tumblr that will never make me money or further my professional goals in any way. I feel like all too often we let society tell us that our hobbies need to move toward those things, and especially with a lot of what I’ve seen on simblr recently, it’s just so important to realize that if you enjoy this hobby, it can take us away from all of the bullshit involved in the rest of life.

But enough of my ramblings. Often keeping up with this story can feel a bit like work (and I’m only barely in the 1910s!) but the support that y’all have given helps me push through those times so I can keep going and realize the vision that I have for the 1920s, 1940s, hell maybe the 1970s and even through to the end!

I’ve been working on a follower gift passively in the background, but I never thought I was going to get to this point so early. It involves a build that will take a lot of my time and emotional effort, so I’ll keep at it and hopefully it’ll be done by the next milestone! But in the meantime I just wanted to stop and say thank you to ya’ll 🌷

I know it’s not much but if there has ever been a WCIF that you wanted to send (no matter how big or small) or anything you ever wanted to know about the story please feel free to send it!

Hi there, I noticed your post showing "godrays" for sims 2? It looks so beautiful! Could you please tell me where/how you did it? Thank you so much ^_^

Welp, nearly forgot to reply to this, I’m so sorry! :x Anyway, the godrays effect comes with @pineapple5050‘s glorious Custom Post Effects mod for which I couldn’t sing enough praises even if I had three lifetimes to spare (yes, I love the mod that much! :D) I'm pretty sure I’ve covered more or less everything there is to know about the mod (from installation & activation to tuning and mod compatibility) in earlier wcifs - you can find all the info you need under my ‘custom post effects’ tag. :)

As for the godrays themselves, they’re an option that used to be disabled by default in earlier versions of the mod (v3 and v4) and you had to turn them on manually in SimPE. The newest version of the mod ( v5, which I linked above) has them on by default, although I’ve noticed that they don’t look as powerful as the ones I showcased in my old pics. I’m pretty sure that can be tuned further in SimPE, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet so I’m afraid I don’t have any wise advice to share.
